After seeing The Unknown from that Willy Wonka AI dumpster fire event, all I can think about is The Unknown dancing around and swinging laser blades like The Unknown/The Enigmatic Man/Xemnas Hiding His Face in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix.

...the line art for this looked like garbage and I didn't think this would turn out until I began adding colors in, hahaha

Got this up on twitter too.

Lea sketches from like 2 weeks ago.

It was gonna be for a comic but turns out comics are a lot harder than I thought.

Also I’m so fuckin slow at drawing it’s ridiculous.

Is it possible to request Xemnas with an s/o who is afraid of thunder and goes to him for comfort with he's busy working? Pretty please and thank you. Of course you're always free to toss this ask out if you'd like lol. 😘😘🫠

congratulations, this was the ask that pulled me back into kingdom hearts and got me to re-read the manga. This is a bit rusty but I hope it’s still enjoyable.

Thunderbolts & Lightning - Xemnas/Reader

The roll of thunder vibrates through the walls of the castle, turning white stone trembling, pulling you from your peace as your heart races you awake and painfully aware of the war of rain plummeted down on the castle windows. Perhaps without the rolls of thunder this might be a peaceful night, to be pulled into a deep slumber where there is no worry, but with the deep tremors that seemed to shake the darkness, that wasn’t happening.

The bed is empty. It tends to be that way, and it normally wouldn’t bother you, but not on this night; not on a night were there doesn’t seem to be a logical escape from what scared you. Not tonight. Not with this thunder.

Pulling yourself from the almost-too-white sheets, that glowed even in this thick darkness, you pulled a loose.. something over you, something that had been long forgotten on the desk, and retreating to the hall.

It was a bit redundant to actually walk in the Castle that Never Was, seeing as most got around in dark corridors— which was the most efficient way to travel— but this time it was for the fact the halls were on the interiors of the castle, shielding you from any window and muffling the rumbles of thunder when they came, all leading you to an ominously unmarked door. Well, normally unmarked. Sometimes someone would tape a dumb sticky note to it then have Xemnas appear in their room in the middle of the night. Normal boss behavior.

Your knock on the door only had a moment to vibrate though the… well, whatever material the doors are made of, for a dusk to appear beside you, cocking its head at you before disappearing again, the door cracking open for you, allowing you inside.

“Xemnas?” Your voice softly calls out into the room, only lit by the dimmest littlest light the storm was letting through its clouds.

There is a pause— the soft scratch of a pen abruptly stopping as a book is closed and shifted to the side.

“It is you, then. Come in.”

Your feet are soft steps, timid even, in the darkened office, an invisible path leading you to his chair and desk.

“What is it you need?”

Xemnas doesn’t look up to you— his amber eyes practically glowing— as he shuffles papers around on his desk.

“I need to be in someone’s company,” You murmur, leaning against the desk, trying to get into his line of sight.

“What is the occasion for that request?”

“I’m not enjoying the thunder.”

That admission makes his eyes meet yours, a mechanical blink being a response, his gaze briefly leaving yours to look at the storm outside.

“We have weather like this quite often here.”

“I know. It’s the thunder though, I don’t like it.”

With a soft noise of what can be assumed to be understanding, he pushes himself back a bit, exposing his lap.

“Come here then. Sit with me.”

You move swiftly, straddling his lap quickly as he lets out a soft, almost endearing, chuckle at your action, one of his sturdy arms wrapping around your lower back, your front against his as you rested your skin against his shoulder, cushioned by a drape of his hood.

Another roll of thunder rips through the walls, your grip on him tightening in response, his hand on your side hugging you to him gently rubbing, a soothing measure from a being who theoretically couldn’t soothe. A bit of warmth radiates from the leather to your skin, keeping you pressed against him in a warm comfort, his arm around your lower back weighty. He adjusts, pulling you ever closer to him as your head is closer to his neck, fanning his skin with your breath, a gentle weight on the top of your head as he rests his jaw against you.

“The thunder cannot harm you.” Xemnas quietly notes, his voice confident as usual as his volume lowers.

“I know, it’s just… I guess its a memory of being afraid of it.”

“Yes, but I find it more logical for it to be startling, not a fear.”

“How so?”

“It is a warning. It is not what can hurt you. It is warning you of what can.”

You slightly readjust in his grasp, relaxing a bit more.

“I suppose you’re right about that.”

Xemnas hums an affirmative noise.

“Rest now. I have you with me.”

I love how much gets implied about Organization XIII while none of it is shown to the audience. Like, we're just following Sora and Roxas, that's all that matters. But. There are so many implications about what else they were doing.

Axel gets sent on execution missions. Literally. To remove nobodies permanently. That's something he is shown to have no issue doing. Saix is tired and is one who regularly converses with Xemnas. Xemnas is assumed to be the one commanding a large majority of the Dusks in other worlds and what they do, like when they attack DiZ. It's implied that they have been trying to find DiZ and keep him from completing Sora's memories and such.

But all we see in Days is Roxas eating ice cream and making Axel like, grow a heart. I think that is so funny that the Organization, at times, was operating like a terrorist organization while Roxas goes to worlds, makes friends, fixes everything (like Sora) and then goes and eats ice cream while Xemnas and Vexen are creating beings and hunting people, and while Xemnas is commanding Saix to command Axel to kill of parts of the organization as an extermination measure.

Also Xion is having an existential crisis.

I just swung by to re-read some old fics (I have the links saved in a big ol’ document) and I saw that you seem to be going through it right now. Please accept this cackhanded attempt at comfort, and the hope that the grieving process is as gentle on you as it can be. I’ve got a lot of joy and comfort from them over these years, I hope I can transfer some of that back to you through this ask.

i know this is a bit old now from 10/11/2023 but thank you for this.

Axel from chain of memories is just so funny as a concept. I’m Obsessed with him

It’s like if the horrifying assassin sent to kill you was a minimum wage employee going through a divorce. And he didnt feel any guilt or apprehension about trying to kill you, (a random child LITERALLY just trying to find and hug your friends) but he Was lazy (depressed) as heck and hated his job. And trying to kill you faster so he could depression nap.

And his one source of joy was scaring the crap out of people and torturing them to death.

And ALSO he was a single dad struggling to work two jobs who loved his kids dearly but that did not make him a Better person or more likely to spare you .

The ONLY chance u have of survival comes down to whether or not he’s lazy enough to give up and depression nap.

The kids maybe make him More likely to stay and kill you because hes secretly worried he’s a bad father and he doesnt have to face up to Having Conversations About Feelings and Admitting He Cares About His Kids for however long hes scaring u.

He has stupid goth makeup with little clown looking teardrops under his eyes and a stupid catchphrase. He barely gets payed and has like no vacation days and is overworked because his company is stupidly short staffed and his ex husband is his manager and keeps sending him to assassinate his few remaining coworkers and hes too low in the company to argue and explain why this is a stupid idea. And management being like “ugh its like you dont even care about this job and you just wanna do the bare minimum and clock out. Now go kill your coworkers”

And ALSO its so funny because you dont know ANY of this

Imagine a scary horror clown man trying to murder you and you are About to die and then the horror clown’s alarm goes off and hes like “oh thank god its union mandated paid ten minute break. They CANNOT make me work in this time Fuck yeah goodbye loser” and he just Teleports across the room and is immediately on the phone like “babe STOP texting me . I DONT want you back. Maybe stop trying to kill our employees if youre so mad about us being short staffed. WAIT did you send me here to die. Was this a murder attempt. Hello?!?! HELLO?!??? DONT HANG UP ON ME?!??” And then he sighs and shrugs and starts reapplying glimmer eyeshadow until another alarm goes off and hea like “ewwwwwww work time.” And he stares at you like hed rather do anything in the world than resume your death fight. And then he stabs you with an on fire weapon and starts evil cackling with his full chest

Literally no one else will ever be him
