Cloud’s Promise to Tifa.

Broken Promise

For the KH3 Countdown Challenge.

Day 12 - Promise

Everyone always told Donald he had a short temper. And sure, it was true, sort of. He couldn’t help that he was more spirited than other folks! Besides, Goofy (and to a lesser extent Sora) were always around to keep him in check.

But today something had happened that had made Donald have to hold Goofy back for once.

The two of them stood there in the aftermath of it all, panting and dirty and banged up from the fight. Xehanort’s cronies were gone now, but the damage had been done. Sora faced away from them, and his shoulders were shaking and his head was hanging low. He wasn’t even trying to hide his quiet sobs from them, either.

Because clutched in his hand were the broken pieces of Kairi’s good luck charm. Xehanort was waging an all out war against his heart, and this was the latest in a long string of casualties.

Donald wouldn’t forget the look in Sora’s eyes or the way he’d cried out when it had happened. As their enemies had disappeared into swirls of black smoke with cruel smirks on their faces afterwards, it had taken all of Donald’s strength to hold Goofy back from jumping in after them.

Sora sniffed, and it snapped Goofy out of his funk. He walked over to Sora and put a hand on his shoulder.

“There now, Sora, I’m sure Kairi can fix it for you—”

“I broke my promise.”

Be mine

Hello everybody! I am very honored to be one of the people contributing to the Sokai/Rokunami fanzine @twosidesfanzine

In hopes of hyping the fanzine up even more, I’d love to share a deleted scene from my new fanfic “Be mine” that wrote for this project! It acts as a prologue to the rest of the fanfic and while the rest of the fanfic is still understandable without any problem, this scene just adds the icing on the cake :D

Please consider getting a copy of the @twosidesfanzine! All extra funds go to the Best Friends Animal Society (that I would love to link, but I don’t trust tumblr not to make my post invisible and the whole point of this is to make people aware of the zine existing so >.< Sorry!!)

Please enjoy!

“I can do this!”

Sora took a deep breath and squared his shoulders as he looked across the old wooden bridge to the crooked paopu tree and the girl sitting on it. His mouth ran dry.

“I can do this,” he reassured himself, a little less confident as he saw a slight breeze starting to play with her hair, gently rocking it back and forth until she tucked it behind her ear, throwing a short glance back over her shoulder at the same time. Despite their distance, he saw her face light up with recognition and she happily waved at him. Sora swallowed hard.

A stab into his side reminded Sora of the presence of his best friend and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Riku raise his hand in greeting. Immediately, Sora’s hand shot up as well and he waved frantically at Kairi. He didn’t get to hear her soft giggles when he saw her shoulders shake gently, but to his dismay, he couldn’t say the same about his best friend’s snickers.

“Smooth.”

Sora only graced Riku with a scowl before turning his attention back to Kairi who had turned around again to stare at the horizon, waiting patiently for him. As she always did.

“I can’t do this, Riku.”

“Yes, you can. All you need to do is walk over to her, offer her a fruit and bite into it.”

“What if she says no?”

He turned back to look at Riku who sighed and crossed his arms. At the gaze that he threw him, Sora felt himself shrink even more.

“You must be kidding me. Do you really think she could say no? The girl who drew your face on her lucky charm? The girl who was stubborn enough to hold onto the idea of you when everyone else had long forgotten you? The girl who wouldn’t leave your side for days after your last big fight?”

Subconsciously, Sora’s hand flew to his stomach and rubbed the tender spot on it as he threw another look in Kairi’s direction.

Everything Riku said was true. And yet he couldn’t help but be nervous. Sora knew Kairi cared for him, that much was obvious, but he also knew how much deeper his feelings ran: he was ready to commit to her and it excited and terrified him at the same time.

“Hey.”

Riku squeezed his shoulder lightly.

“Don’t worry, she’s just as crazy about you as you are about her, she’s only better at hiding it. Now go,” he said as he gently pushed Sora towards the wooden bridge, “she waited long enough for you.”

Sora nodded.

“Thank you, Riku.”

Taking a deep breath, Sora squared his shoulders once again and walked ahead until Riku called him.

“Hey, Sora! Haven’t you forgotten this?”

Confused, he turned around, just in time to catch something in his outstretched arms.

A paopu fruit.

He threw a last appreciative smile at his best friend before pocketing the fruit and running off towards Kairi.

To be continued ;)

For @heathinator. 🥰 Because Pride siblings spin-hug their significant others the same exact way and it’s too ridiculously cute.  

SoKai Reunion and Hug

I wanted to make a post about this moment as well, because it was so good and so beautiful. 

Okay, so after all that effort, Sora is finally able to bring Kairi back, and this was such a satisfying moment both for him and, on a meta level, the player. We saw all the things Sora went through to reach her, and we played through those things ourselves. So yes, even though we all knew this would happen, the anticipation and buildup was what made it so special:

I can’t get over how happy and excited Sora is to see her:

And then the hug. Sora and Kairi have had a lot of beautiful hugs, but this one might be my new favorite. The setup is perfect: they’re against a starry night sky, perhaps teasing at their (as of right now) star-crossed lovers status, but it’s light enough that you can see them clearly. The dark night is finally coming to an end; Sora has Kairi back, and Xehanort is almost defeated. The visual symbolism alone paints a beautiful picture.

Then take a look at their body language. They both have their arms wrapped around each other. Kairi’s resting her head on Sora’s shoulder, and Sora is tenderly cradling her head:

How To Wrap A Cat For Christmas.

kh theory: ava, subject x and namine are somehow related to each other.

( I want to apologize for any mistakes beforehand as english isn’t my first language )

so this theory is based on three points and they are:

ava is the traitor, but not in the way you think 

subject x might be ava

how namine might be related to ava/subject x

Ava being the traitor:

after the kh3 epilogue, i got more convinced in this theory since the epilogue basically hinted that the main villains for the next saga would be MoM and the other lost masters.

in khx, the foretellers were led to believe that following the roles and rules MoM assigned them was the only way to avoid the imminent keyblade war and the end of the world, but little did they know their blind trust in MoM made it easy to get manipulated by him and the same roles that were supposed to prevent the war only planted seeds of doubts and uncertainty in them and their unions. how? the roles conflicted with each other. and of course their inability to be independent from their master had a factor, but first talking about each master and their role would make it easier to explain :

ira: making ira the leader because he was the one who expressed his desire to stop the war and he was the most determined out of the 5 masters would be the logical choice to anyone, but ira was so obsessed about the book and what it had foretold that he became wary of every incident that happened so naturally he would notice a page was missing.

aced: MoM assigned the role of being ira’s right hand to aced despite how it was apparent to MoM that aced had an inferiority complex when it came to ira and when MoM told him that ira would be the leader, aced expressed his desire for the role as he thought h was more worthy of that role. so when MoM told him he could take ira’s place as the leader if he, aced, thought ira was unreliable knowing full well aced would seize the first chance that come his way which would make him look suspicious and this was a deliberate set up by MoM to frame him as the traitor.

invi: her role was to only to observe the other four and stay as neutral as possible while mediating between them. however, her trust in ira as their leader, since he replaced MoM, led her to side with him and  informing him about what the others were planning or doing so naturally it would rise dispute.

gula: he was given the lost page and the task to look for a traitor that might not even exist since the content of the page was ambiguous and could have been another set up by MoM to make them doubt each other more, and he was basically told to keep it a secret and not to trust anyone but himself. this was another set up because if gula trusted his comrades enough to tell them about the traitor beforehand a lot of stuffs might have prevented.

ava: her role was simple, to train the dandelions and send them off before the war and she was supposed to look after them in the other world and avoid getting involved in any conflict. and she did as she was told  without any problem, but she couldn’t stand still and let the war happens so she went off to look for MoM to stop the war.

I wouldn’t want to delve too much into it, but basically the roles they were given were set in a way that would rise doubts among them. now as i said, ava went off to look for MoM and luxu so when she finally found out the truth about luxu and MoM’s intentions of watching how the events played rather than actually find a solution ( + his plan to summon the true kingdom hearts according to the secret report 13 ) she was enraged and attacked luxu so how does this link her to being the traitor? well…. the lines from the lost page

“Unable to permit disharmony, you will be disappointed by fate”

Unable to permit disharmony > ava not wanting the war happen / ava looking for a way to break the dispute between them.

you will be disappointed by fate > finding out MoM true intentions and how he never cared to end the war / finding out this whole fiasco was set up by MoM himself in order to summon the true kingdom hearts.

in a sense, ava did deviate from her role by leaving the dandelions behind and looking for luxu.

“then with that one strike, a bell will toll for the final battle”

and attacking him thus starting the very war she tried to prevent. but this was because MoM intended for her to be the //traitor// all along. perhaps the reason why she wasn’t in the epilogue was because of this very reason, as xigbar said “ava fulfilled her role” aka being the traitor and going against MoM’s rules and plans; trying to stop him.

now according to the secret report 13; MoM true intentions is to summon the true kingdom hearts and starting another keyblade war

‘‘now at least the Keyblade War has begun, and Kingdom Hearts will open—a true and complete Kingdom Hearts, born of the clash between darkness and light.’’

ava did find out about this and since she is betraying MoM by going against his plans and try to stop him, which i assume he predicated, she ends up being the traitor. and the epilogue supported this even more with how xigbar acted and worded himself.

in the jp version, xigbar says “ava didnt show up/isnt here, as expected” more like he never expected her to be with them in the first place. and when he said the told ava about his missons he was referring to the events happened that occurred in these two scenes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAJZ7nJANmA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhXT7Ju9QZ4

also if you noticed, ava’s piece wasn’t among the chess pieces that appeared at the end of the epilogue an was replaced by another one. 

furthermore the chess piece that replaces ava’s has a symbols that is awfully similar to the one on the BoP and you also find the same symbol in yen sid study in kh3

Subject x and ava:

this part might end up get debunked or proved in the upcoming kh games or khux updates as we know so little about subject x to base our assumption on who she might be and all the clues we got from kh3 are ambiguous and vague; perhaps she could be skuld, ava or none of them. however for the sake of this theory let’s go with the assumption subject x = ava.

in khx backcover, gula mentioned a clue from the lost page on who the traitor could be and it was “ the one who bears the sigil” and assuming by the sigil it meant an ‘X’ then subject x could be ava 

subject x said the line “may my heart be my guisiding key” in secret report 1 and 3 the only characters i know of who said the line “may your heart be your guiding key’ were MoM and the lost masters. and correct me if im wrong, but skuld has yet to say this line and since we are stuck between her and ava this line makes me lean more towards ava being subject x 

the fact xigbar was the one who freed subject x from her cell and the way xigbar reacted to ava’s absence imply he knew she wouldn’t be there or rather couldn’t be there because other than being the traitor, she also could be subject x who lost her memories 

namine and subject x/ava:

so far we haven’t gotten any proper explanation of namine’s origin and her power. we dont even know how she got her name when she was supposedly born without any memories just like roxas, yet when the org found her they didn’t make her join them or did the whole x naming thingy they did with the rest. we dont even know who exactly found her and why she was in castle oblivion in the first place. and despite being only 23 days old, she was able to tell she was lonely for a long time which meant she had a complete heart by the time sora came to castle oblivion while roxas, who was born as the same time as her, took much longer than her to be able to discern his own emotions even though he had ventus’s heart inside of him. not to mention her ability to manipulate memories, project worlds in addition to being able to manipulate the datascape. and kh33 didn’t help with this and only added more mysterious to namine’s origin despite he brief appearance in the game. she was able to talk to terra twice the first was in  0.2 and the second in kh3. furthermore, in the jp version she said something among the line of “talking to terra could change fate/destiny” as if she knew sora would go back in time. all this can’t just be explained by saying she is the nobody of kairi who is a princess of heart or the way she born. unless she was related to ava and the book of prophecies. 

first let’s begin with the similarities between ava and namine:

both namine ( in com where she took the apparence of kairi ) and ava ( as seen in this this ) can shapeshift 

both can also change the appearance  of stuffs around them and objects as well  ( namine in kh2 when she talked to roxas for the third time and ava in this )

both have a similar body language and a habit of clasping their hands together

the edge of ava’s keyblade is shaped as waves and namine’s name means waves

ava might have the ability to manipulate memories like namine and it has been implied she was the one who erased the dandelions memories 

assuming ava = subject x and since xigbar took her out of the prison he might have named her as well whence where the name namine came from

subject x felt lonely and isolated and namine had the same feelings in com but the way she worded herself was as if she was alone longer than just 23 days 

now how is namine related to subject x other than assuming subject x is ava? the answer is within axel and saix action in days and thanks to kh3 we know why these two joined the organization in the first place. 

axel could have let namine go not ona whim but on purpose

this scene never made sense to me; i mean we know why saix brought up xion in order to convince axel, but namine?? i doubt saix would know axel was somehow fond of namine especially since he never saw these two interact and the way axel was muttering to himself indicated he was interested in knowing something about namine unless he knew something

not to mention the way xigbar reacted towards saix saying namine was still missing, at first i thought he was just pushing up saix buttons. however, if we link xigbar to subject x and him probably knowing about saix and axel relationship with her in additon to the fact xigbar being luxu and all f his actions has been ambiguous for a reason makes me wonder…. 

and the namine files we have yet to see it get revealed and why was axel looking up these files in the first place
