@tenacquity continued from here!

Sharp eyes ignored the human as they walked. The call of his karma would alert Xiao to any nearby monsters long before they appeared within eyesight, yet his gaze still searched the elongated shadows cast by towering peaks and jagged slopes. Ever vigilant. Ever prepared to exterminate evil the moment it appeared.

Which meant that Xiao missed the human's bewildered scrutiny of their surroundings, but no matter—his tone spoke to being lost in more ways than one before his question made it obvious. Tch—no wonder he'd been wandering through Jueyun Karst so carelessly. Liyue's citizens knew better than to set foot in the realm of the adepti. Shouldn't they also teach outsiders where it was too dangerous for their own kind to tread? That responsibility should fall to the mortals themselves, not to those who were the danger that was best avoided.

"The adepti are illuminated beasts who were tasked with protecting Liyue by Rex Lapis eons ago," Xiao concurred. "Most keep their distance from humans and make their abodes here in these peaks. Mortals only dare set foot here out of greed or desperation." A pause, then a pointed look skewered the human sidelong. "The pointlessness of your presence here is the most foolish 'reason' of all."

Though the human kept pace, Xiao held his spear in the hand nearest to him: forcibly keeping distance between them. "Despite their vows of protection, the others do not hesitate to punish mortals who enter their domains. Had you stumbled upon Mountain Shaper's peak, for instance, you'd find yourself encased in amber for the rest of your pathetically short lifespan."

I am but a measly 2:00:15 into the genre-defining "Riku is Gay" video, but like. Damn, Tennelle Flowers is a cinematic genius. I've remained so thoroughly enthralled by the tasteful spacing of audio commentary, clips from the games, and excerpts from the novels/writer interviews that I've hardly even noticed the time passing. What is this video laced with, man- I love video essays, but usually I have to rewind a gazillion times due to my attention slipping against my will.

That collage of comparison clips from KH2 Beast's arc and Riku's KH1-KH2 arc is killing me, man. Ever wish you could tattoo a part of a video to your forehead? Apparently, now I do.

#and like AAAA they Get it! #the KH1 displacement and insecurity #Riku seeing Xion as Sora #It's still not explained how Riku was able to remember Sora despite all of his other connections getting amnesia but loool- #ain't the world just FULL of unexplained mysteries #AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE COM NECKLACE THING #I also was like “huh- that memory can't have happened because Kairi wasn't at the islands before the meteor shower” so I figured it was #that maybe it was just fake but I wasn't SET on that- y'know? so like- the idea it was a Sora&Riku memory was so good #that bit about Riku originally meant to give Sora a charm in relation to the design of Oblivion being Sora's crown sealed the deal for me #and the novel excerpts are generally insane holy guacamole you don't just WRITE that stuff man #also they're (Tennelle Flowers) is just generally a wonderful narrator to listen to and I am rediscovering that after like 8 years or sm #from when I used to check out their Warriors stuff #anyway yeah can't wait to get to the ddd section- this is already third-eye-opening material- I'll probably just explode then #'Sora at the end of my outstretched hand was more important than anything else' #ARE YOU KIDDING ME #SHIT READS LIKE FANFICTION #kingdom hearts #sora #riku #kingdom hearts meta #soriku

@howthesleeplesswander || cont.

So, here’s the thing.

It wasn’t so much that Kazuma was a strict, no excuses kind of instructor—which, yeah, sure, he definitely was, and no one at camp would ever argue that, but… The reason anyone ever felt any amount of disheartened under his keen eye usually had a little something to do with not wanting to disappoint the supremely cool, incredibly skilled and awesome katana guy who showed up whenever he wanted and disappeared like some crazy demigod vigilante. (Who also was considerably attractive, Percy supposed… if the reactions of some half-blood kids and even the dryads were anything to go by.)

Part of Percy knew Kazuma didn’t expect him to excel at this immediately. Then another part of him argued he should, that this technique should be well in hand by now (literally) if he hoped to have any chance against what was coming. Part of him figured he was annoyed at the prospect of letting Kazuma down—letting everyone down. Then another part of him shot back that there was more to this. It wasn’t just about—

He nearly jumped when Kazuma rejoined his side. In the prior few seconds, he’d fallen into somewhat of a trance, one that had him glaring off at the dining pavilion with thoughts of the winter before, of a particular young demigod responsible for the large crack across the floor. Because Percy had failed him (and still continued to).

A murmured “thanks,” and he took the water, downed a few gulps while Kazuma gave him his usual encouragement. He pinched his brows. “Yeah, I know. I mean… You’re right, I just—” He should’ve laughed. Maybe even said something like, What isn’t bothering me? But the energy wasn’t there today, and with some reluctance, Percy met the eyes boring into him. He weighed his options: what he should and shouldn’t talk about, what he could and couldn't trust Kazuma to know. Whatever ended up winning, a loud and practically surrendering sigh came first.

“We can… talk for a minute, if that’s okay. Can we—?” Percy capped Riptide, stowed the sword-turned-pen back in his pocket at the same time as he pivoted toward the nearest bench. He paused only to glance back. “Only if you don’t have someone else, uh… lined up to train anytime soon? I don’t want to interrupt…”

#howthesleeplesswander #🌊🔱 « v: against all odds (pjo) » #🌊🔱 « prose » #aaaaa kazuma is such a good instructor i love himmmm ;; #and percy absolutely loves and respects him too! ;v; #it's one of the reasons he's so willing to trust him and confide in him -- and bless kazuma for being so WILLING to listen and help!! #he is such a sweet boy anD HE DESERVES TO BE APPRECIATED T^T #is percy thinking about a certain son of hades who threw a tantrum and then went missing bc of percy “failing” him? 8)c oh #mAYBE JUST MAYBE 8'DDD I'M FINE WE'RE FINE WE'RE ALL GOOD #but it's seriously so precious that kazuma instantly SEES something wrong ;; #and chooses to talk to him about it aaaaa what a good ;; tysm for replying!! #i'm stoked to see this dynamic in action!!

I will never ever be okay with the knowledge that Laguna Loire was cut from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. I will play Dissidia and see Laguna and cry over what we could have had. Laguna could have been the super smash bro's announcer voiceover for the mirage arena and talk to the wayfinder trio about his lion obsessed son. We could have had it all...

#LAGUNA AND TREASURE PLANET IN DDD WILL FOREVER HAUNT ME #i miss this man #i dont wamma replay 8 but i will for him #y talks #kh #kh bbs #ff #ffviii #laguna loire

❛  are ya sure yer okay, bro?  ❜ HAHAHAHA

@yukikorogashi || Five Word Sentence Starters

Did this...? Did this child just refer to him as "bro"?

Momentarily, Kaz is bemused into silence. A man with such strict control over his expressions—guaranteeing he give nothing away he does not intend on giving away—trips in more than just one instance here. He's messy, first in giving the girl any reason for concern at all when his lips involuntarily twist in discomfort, and second in the present, as he's left blinking in disbelief at what he swears he's heard correctly—

Which somehow doesn't make it any more believable she actually said it.

He shifts where his shoulder's pressed against the alcove, missing his cane now more than ever. As a hand discreetly massages the muscles in his thigh, Kaz sets his jaw and shakes his head. "I'll be more 'okay' once you've scurried off," he exhales through his teeth, simultaneously straightening up to test his weight on that leg again. "So be a good girl and run along, now."

And it's not a suggestion.

#yukikorogashi #〣♚{ answered } #the way i snorted SO LOUD when i saw this in my inbox omgggg #and the expression that kaz instantly had on his face #he's sO PERPLEXED and also just so immediately Done(tm) fdnhjaodfhnoa KAZ PLS #she's just trying to help 8'DDD #just tryna help a BRO out B') #what an absolute sweetie tho ;w; i forever love that she puts up with my prickly muses X'D true MVP #eeeee thank you for sending this in! owo we love this adorable gal so much TwT <3

Between the new Xiao-centric Genshin trailer and finishing TGAA with my girlfriend over this past weekend, I've basically been like........completely emotionally dead inside asdlfjdks there is nothing else going on in my brain rn besides an endless loop of gross sobbing and inhuman screeching tbh. BUT I will do my best to become a functional human being again over this week, so I promise to return soon!

Doodles dump

Last possible drawings related to a lost comic pages panels i had imprints to work back from, the comic basically was a kh ddd story but what if Riku got turned into a dream eater for part of the journey, and the story is getting told post the ddd events to the point of Sora and Riku were already getting into the relationship but going over the story just to be sure.

(Dialougue wasnt that important but i think you can get the jist of what happened)

I figure some of the art is nice enough to drop regardless so here it is

Panel 6 is my fav, not gonna lie

#my art #kh ddd #oc creature #traditional drawing #traditional drawings #pencil sketch #Sora #dream eater riku #Riku #lost comic panels #meow wow #nightmare komory bat #soriku technically but i dont wanna spam with all this #the lovey look in panel 8 had 2 versions but i went with the one that actually shows up for the panel #my one dream drop distance comic
