No one:

Literally No One:

Me, running on three hours of sleep and only spite and coffee keeping my mortal vessel functioning, also trying to get all of the figurines in Minish Cap to scratch the completionist itch: We, as both the Zelda Fandom and Lu Fandom, don't really talk enough about First, The Hero of Men and The Original Attempted Calamity Hero huh?

And by that, I mean these gentlemen:

#Have a lot of thoughts about them all a lot of the time #Someone insert that shaking hands meme here #I feel like there's a use for it #legendofzelda #breath of the wild #botw #minish cap #four swords #four swords adventures #skyward sword #linked universe #something something how history likes to rhyme and for every hero whose story gets told at least one is not told in full #specially not after the adventure ends #kinda want to write some thoughts I have on these guys but idk #If I had a nickel for everytime Nintendo mentioned a Hero before our Link but did not elaborate further that isn't the Hero of Time #the Hero of Winds or the Hero of Legend #I'd have about four nickels (if we count the OG Zelda's mentioned Link too) #Which isn't a lot but it's probably weird that it happened four times #No mind to think no will to break no voice to cry suffering- #Wait wrong fandom #lu first

Why is it whenever I notice a silly little similarity in something I feel the need to share it immediately.

#Why do I have a fantastic memory but only for stuff like this. How and why could I remember that scene in particular #I'm not tagging either shows because I don't feel like it but I feel like this must be seen at least on my profile because it's silly #No your honor I do not love comparing scenes from two completely different shows what gives you *that* idea #This is why you don't harass birds smh rookie mistake #Anyways I now have a mental compilation of at least 2 times where a cartoon character tried to chase down a bird and lived to regret it. #My brain makes connections but only for silly things sorry I don't make the rules for my brain #insert that one if I had two nickels meme idk man I'm so tired #Weird that it happened twice? I guess? #I'm literally comparing Shin Moomin and Home: Adventures with Tip and oh what do you want from me lmao

That feel when you're like "I've got no time to deal with that nonsense" of the fandom persuasion, but said nonsense somehow does wind up inadvertently perking up your muses on some languishing projects. Which I will take the bright side and try and focus and hold onto that energy.

Please creativity, return to me. Water my crops. You are my only ho and all that jazz.

#not going to go into what the nonsense is right now #it's not on this webbed site for once #and i can deal with it NEXT week if need be (and genuinely do not have the spoons right now) #and it's one of those hot button issues that gets people up in arms #and i'd like give enough rope to see if the individual in question is doing what i suspect #or if it's a weird coincidence and maybe just an ignorant breach of fandom etiquette that will resolve itself without intervention #something something insert meme about 'if i had a nickel for every time [x] happened i'd have ten cents' #'which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice'

Wouldn't it be hilarious if our creator ocs went to the same college and didn't know that they both accidentally created a purple stick figure that came to life?

YES YES YES !!!

they’d probably end up meeting one day by coincidence, tell each other about their weird stick figure creations, and bond over their mutual confusion. then go and get coffee.

Came out to my bestie tonight (that I'm ace) and her reaction was "yeah, I knew, you are not really hiding it"

The fuck you mean you knew????? Why everyone I'm coming out to has that reaction??? Can I suprise at least SOMEONE?????

#ohnotalking #asexual #insert that one “if I had a nickel” meme #for real tho I'm so glad she reacted well I was so nervous to tell her for literal years #not telling anyone that I'm probably sapphic yet but still

[daniraevys]

So, they did this again?! Instead of Loki impersonating Fury like in the What If episode, it was G'iah impersonating Fury.

#secret invasion #nick fury #what if #loki #finale #g'iah #mcu #marvel #there were some good moments in the show but im still so disappointed #i can see a good story peeking underneath but it never delivers #insert the if i had a nickel meme

Okay, now I've finished-finished KH2, and like... I don't have *terribly* much to add (post-mortem edit: lie), since I was pretty much on the brink of the final battle when I last posted about the game, but DAMN. That was actually really sweet/heartwarming.

First off, holy SHIT that final battle was movie-like as all hell. The choreographed action and reaction commands... woah. I was such a dumbass during multiple Xemnas phases, though, it was a wonder I beat him first try. Buckle up for my dumbass endeavors, it's a trip.

That part where you're flying to his little throne thing and he's tossing buildings at you was fun, because I kept launching myself against his fucking barrier and getting repelled/damaged and Xemnas was all "why do you despise the void," over and over again. I was so confused, but just... kept trying like a bullheaded idiot until my health was nose-diving and Riku started healing Sora. Cue me screaming into the void like "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?" Started playing Marco-Polo when Riku would say "Sora!" every time his health dropped, and eventually found him on a building at the bottom of the map I was supposed to fling at Xemnas apparently? 😂

Two other cringe-fails on my end... when Xemnas was tasering Sora and you briefly shift into Riku to complete mission 'Save His Guy,' I was beating the decoy Xemnas to death like "DON'T WORRY SORA, I'VE GOT YOU," only to realize right before Sora bit the dust that you were supposed to walk up to the other Xemnas actively doing the electrocution and just... y'know... tap the reaction command. I'm sensing a common theme here...

And to top it off, on that scene that would Otherwise Be Really Cool where Sora and Riku are meant to deflect the lasers from Xemnas, I must've missed my chance for the reaction command, and it was really fucking hilarious to watch actually, because you have the action movie sweeping spiral shot, where Riku's Understood The Instructions, leaping around and deflecting everything like a ninja, whereas Sora was utterly stunlocked, and just sort of... standing there... getting hit over and over again... it looked so pathetic, haha.

Anyway, actual plot aside from me being bad at the game, and by plot I mean Sora and Riku just being the heart and soul of the cracked out finale, apparently:

(Although shout-out to Roxas for making me feel all weepy just by saying "Look sharp," I'm eternally sad. Someone free him.)

I just... I don't even know where to start, guys. Riku being angsty, "How am I gonna face everyone?" only for Sora to go "Like this!" And make the goofiest little face to cheer Riku up, and it WORKED. That was just... I cooed, y'all.

These faces (I tracked down the GIF because I was just appalled the animators in a 2006 game had them make goo-goo eyes at each other, Sora looking away like that is what gets me):

Xemnas trying to pit them against each other in his boss fight, but you know it just wouldn't matter, because of *course* Sora trusts Riku, he can't imagine thinking otherwise, and of *course* Riku was jealous of Sora in some aspects (which was addressed later, wooo), but it didn't matter, because he just wanted to be able to be with Sora over any misgivings he might've had about his self image.

(Side Note: What in the Sam-Hill did Xemnas mean when he said there were falsehoods in their hearts? Excuse me? Will that be expanded upon? What are they denying??)

And like... they literally ended up trapped in KH Hell-equivalent, and they were just... fine?? with it?? Just completely zen on the beach (I can't help but find it interesting that the realm of darkness is a beach like Destiny Islands, and wonder if there's some light/dark parallels about the trio involving that), staring out at the water side by side, fully knowing they could just wither away there, but it was cool, because they were together. "I've got something you could never imitate too," (Which was being Riku's friend, godDAMN Sora you're gonna make me cry 😭) says Sora, just chilled out as all hell.

For further laughs, in the post credits scene where and Riku and Sora were sitting on the Paopu tree, and Sora was like 'where'd the door to light come from?' and I was all excited like a kid paying attention in class or something "Kairi Princess of Heart ex-machina, she and her letter must have been tied to-" and then Riku poked at Sora's heart and was like "From here 😌 It's closer than you think," and then I'm over here, being a vaguely disappointed nerd, like "Oh, no lore. Just... Riku saying Sora is filled with light. They're just... still having a moment. That's fine." (And they were just looking and smiling at each other while the camera was focused on their faces, which is completely interrupted by Kairi running up, pfft- bless her for the tonal whiplash)

Edit: I also loved that credits clip of Sora walking through the secret hideout cave and running his hands along the drawings, you could see his eyes combing over the memories, it was so touching. I loved when he found the drawing him and Kairi made, because I thought of that KH1 cutscene of them as small children carving it out, and you could *see* it in his eyes that Sora had a "Look where I am now," kind of moment. I will never stop screaming about the facial animations for these games.

Anyway that ended up being longer than I expected. The boys are back together and they're mushy. Kairi still has abandonment issues and they'll probably just get worse from here. Someone, somewhere curls up into a fetal position every time a KH villain gives another darkness/light monologue with the dumbest sounding lines known to man. Maleficent's entire subplot this game was just her house-hunting. Michael Mouse acts like a war veteran, and it would be hilarious if post-Ansem the Wise (I missed hearing your voice, Christopher Lee RIP) explosion he starts having survivor's guilt too. Roxas makes me want to cry, and Naminé does too. The mystery of Kairi's Keyblade has not been answered. Nobody has told Sora about Castle Oblivion even though Naminé was Right There. Next time... on Kingdom Hearts...

I wish I could caption this in the KH subtitle font but I'm too lazy to figure out how zip files work at this hour so here's comic sans

#extremely long post mb friends #I'm a bit sleep deprived #kingdom hearts #what's the ship name for the idiots #if i had a nickel for everytime I got way too invested in a wonderfully silly anime based media where the light haired emotionally reserved #best friend of the main protagonist proceeded to compare the protag to light #id have 2 nickels #*insert rest of the meme* #anyway yeah ship name... idk it could just be their limit break name #'Eternal Session' #'Eternal Session' of what bro- us enjoying spending our lives side by side as defenders of the universe? thats pretty ga-

am reminded out of the blue again that Uchida Yuuma (FGO Castor’s VA) voiced two Magical Girl shows’ love interests (Aoyama Masaya in Tokyo Mew Mew New and Shinada Takumi in Delicious Party Pretty Cure)

Finally fought my brain into giving Kiyan just any design to get the accumulated brainrot out onto digital paper

Said brainrot was getting the design more down with just some waiting in rain, chibi-doodle of the one mission we actually know about (giving mental-hello to Adrien for giving us any extra info as well) and letting him just nap in a tree cuz cat

Connor doesn't get enough credit that two! Two! Of his attack plans were "shoot the cannons at the building I'm in" and that it worked!
