The Light.
official hdm teaser!!!!
I got a late graduation gift today.
What I’m getting a lot of from this book is “We had this completely awesome idea made of rainbow sparkle shipper dreams and character development. We cut it.”
I know. It’s a process. And I have to be patient.
This one is giving me 90’s flashbacks though. I swear I had dolls exactly like this.
I haven’t really seen anyone talk about this, but there are some Verum Rex games on display and you can actually read what’s on the back of them.
The summary goes;
That’s the story of the King of Truth.
RECLAIM YOUR HEART
After a long fight, weapons have brought great benefits for humanity. But the “KARMA” that sleeps in humans will accelerate further. In the light of the warhead in the night sky, they chose to fight while feeling the pain of their hearts…
Then there are two chunks of texts printed over some images below the summary.
A JOURNEY
WITHOUT A
PLACE TO RETURN
THE WORLD IS
TO ALL HUMANS
TO TURN A PANG(?)
The last word — pang — was difficult to make out. There’s definitely an “A” and an “N” in the middle of the word, and “pang” is the only one that really makes sense (but it’s still a weird word to use in that context).
Here’s my two cents, take it with salt;
The King of Truth is Yozora. (“Verum” means “true,” and “Rex” means “king/the reigning king.”)
Reclaim your heart, huh? Sounds like Yozora is in the same boat as Sora. Perhaps the reason we see him in the secret ending is because, he too, is in the Reaper’s Game. Yozora as a party member… sounds pretty neat to me.
The summary is literally an alternate version of the story of Kingdom Hearts…
“After a long fight, keyblades have brought great benefits for humanity. But the darkness that sleeps in humans will accelerate further. In the light of Kingdom Hearts in the night sky, they chose to fight while feeling the pain of their hearts…”
“A journey without a place to return,” Riku and Sora’s next journey together will keep them from returning home. They will be stuck in another world/worldline/universe, without any hopes of getting back.
“The world is to all humans to turn a pang,” the world that Riku and Sora end up in is a place where all humans wish to change their pain OR the world that Riku and Sora end up is made for humans to change their pain. Pang means “sudden sharp pain,” usually emotionally.
Have some random Linked Universe headcanons that I have come up with but don’t always follow 100%
• Four paints his nails to prevent him from biting them, he also paints them to reflect whatever color is most prominent that day and if it’s a pretty equal split he’ll alternate each nail color.
• Wild will either run up stairs 3 at a time, or on all fours. there is no in-between
• Time is only a around 27-29, stress took a toll on his aging, which wouldn’t be that big of a deal if Warriors wasn’t 26 about to be 27 and dreads the day someone mentions his age and he gets labeled old man as well
• Wind doesn’t like alcohol, he thinks it tastes like perfume and just wants to seem more mature in grown up to the others, Time or Warriors will usually switch Wind’s drink for cider or pumpkin juice so he has something to drink.
• While the chain can all sing, they can’t all sing the same types of songs. Twilight can sing lullabies, Wind can do sea shanties, ect
• Twilight can lift and throw each member or the chain at least 6ft, this in includes Time wearing his armor, and the chain has no idea why he’s this strong.
• Magic has different types of scents, so the some members of the chain have scents when they use magic. Hyrule always smells like cinnamon after a battle, Four smells like clover flowers when he shrinks, Twilight smells like coffee and tea leaves after he turns back from his wolf form, Sky just the faintest hint of vanilla from hanging around Sun, and Legend smells like a spice cabinet from all the items he uses
• Hyrule lives in a Hobbit Hole and he’s got a small fairy garden out front( I will stand by this until I die)
• Warriors is used to braiding Artemis’s or Impa’s hair when he was stressed so now he braids Wild’s hair because it’s the only hair long enough for his standards.
• Sky likes to collect stationary things like quills, inks, and seals, but he’s got terrible handwriting so he spends hours writing the perfect letter even if it’s only two paragraphs long.
• When Time was Mask, he had a habit of calling the other commanders “Mom” like when you would call a teacher mom, he even called Wars “Dad” once, and the first time the go to Warriors’s Hyrule Time basically had to bite his tongue as to not slip up, he fails.
• All of the Links have freckles, some only have them on their arms and shoulders, some cover them with make up or aren’t visible due to scarring, and some just don’t care about them and just have them on their faces.

21 Days Left!!!!
Check out #kh3countdowntrain and www.twitter.com/kh3countingdown on Twitter for more countdown art!
This is it. It feels surreal to think about, but after years of waiting, Kingdom Hearts 3 is only ten days away. To celebrate, I decided to do a countdown where each day I talk about some of my favorite things about the series.
So to start, I’m going to get into my top 10 favorite characters in the whole series. Now, this doesn’t mean that if a character isn’t on this list that I hate them, it just means that these ten are my absolute favorites. While a lot of them I like for other reasons, for a few of these characters, my constant excuses to stare at promo are of them should have been my first clue that I wasn’t straight.
1. Now Sora being one of my favorites may seem obvious because he’s the main protagonist, and as a teenager I spent a lot of time finding excuses to pull of screnshots and promos of his merman form and stare at him shirtless, but his adaptability and optimism are things that always put a smile on my face even when I’m stressed out and exhausted from life. I don’t think I would have been as invested in this series without a protagonist like Sora.
2. Maybe it was because Kingdom Hearts II was my first experience with a proper RPG that wasn’t an adaptation or tie in for an existing TV series or movie, but I didn’t really hate the prologue of Kingdom Hearts II the way that a vocal portion of the fandom seemed to. Sure, looking back, it does drag on, but Roxas’ life in Twilight Town was my first introduction to the Kingdom Hearts universe, so I still have a soft spot for him even without all the tragedy of his story.
3. The main reason I liked Vexen so much in the beginning was because of his ice powers and awesome-looking shield. But thanks to the amazing fanfics Those Lacking Spines and Why The Sun Sets Red, he’s become one of my favorite members of the original Organization XIII and I am desperately hoping that he survives Kingdom Hearts III (Please, Nomura, if not in KH3 then at least let Xion interact with Even when you inevitably start the first post-Xehanort game in the series) #LetTheShittyScienceDadLive
4. Xion is a character who grew on me over consecutive playthroughs. During my first playthrough of Days, I wasn’t really focused on the characters. I was too busy geeking out over finally getting to buy a new Kingdom Hearts game as it’s coming out. But each time I went back into the story, I got more and more attached to Xion and her tragic fate. I can’t listen to her theme music anymore without tearing up at least a little, and I look forward to seeing what role she’ll play in Kingdom Hearts III.
5. While he doesn’t really do much in the story, what makes Zexion/Ienzo so appealing to me as a character is the fact that there’s so much potential to what we do get of his backstory that I’m thrilled to see KH3 beginning to explore. Ansem being a father figure to him. What were his relationships with the other apprentices like since he was barely eight years old when they started their experiments? Was asking Ansem to build the underground laboratory really his idea, or did Xehanort talk him into it knowing that Ansem would never say no to his surrogate son? Given that Kairi lived near - if not in- the castle, did she and Ienzo know each other? Did they grow up together? Did Ienzo know anyone outside the castle or was he isolated from everyone even before his parents died? The possibilities are endless and the fact that he’s working with everyone and appears to be interacting with Ansem in one shot of one of the trailers makes my heart soar that I may finally get to see some of his backstory explored.
6. Part of my initial love of Aqua out of all the other BBS protags was that blue is my favorite color and when I was younger I would always gravitate towards the blue member in any color-themed team. On subsequent playthroughs, I started to like playing her campaign more than Terra and Ven’s, both because of how versatile her magic was and the fact that her story continued past the end of the others’. For me personally, what pushed her into my top 10 was just the entirety of what she went through in 0.2, so I was crying when we got THAT image at E3 last summer.
7. Isa/Saix is another character I gravitated to because he was the one with blue hair, but I also really loved his weapon design and the history he had with Lea. I can’t wait to see what role he plays in KH3, and knowing this series it’ll be appropriately tear-inducing.
8. Back before 358/2 Days and DDD came out and revealed that all incarnations of Xehanort are manipulative bastards, I saw Xemnas as a tragic character. Nevertheless, I still consider him one of my favorites because of his design. Unlike Terranort (who we all thought was Xehanort until 2010), this isn’t a cast of my subconscious thinking he’s hot even if I didn’t have the words for it. I just really like his weapons, his hairstyle, and the awesome black and white coat he wears in the final boss battle of KH2.
9. I know, I know, Terranort is litterally just Xehanort in Terra’s body, but before we got that reveal, I had this weird fascination with the guy that I couldn’t really explain ([sarcasm]thanks heteronormativity[/sarcasm]) I would come up with proto-fanfic ideas when I was in middle school that fleshed out his backstory and gave him a redemption arc where he allies with the heroes to atone for all the things he’s done. The reveal that Xehanort was really just an old guy doing to Terra what his Heartless would eventually did to Riku devastated me, not just because of how heartbreaking the entire ending of BBS was for all 3 main characters, but because it meant that the interpretation of the character I’d built in my head had never existed. One personal hope I have for Kingdom Hearts 3 and beyond is that when Terra is eventually freed from Xehanort’s control, he can keep the long white hair look his body sported in all flashbacks to the time period between BBS and KH1. I am not ready to say goodbye to that look forever.
10. Vanitas was another character with a really cool design who I probably spent enough time staring at pictures of that I should have started questioning my sexuality sooner. Then when I heard about the novelizations’ take on his backstory the tiny kernel of possibility for him to get some kind of redemption arc sprouted itself, and I’ve been eagerly hunting for fanfics with that very premise ever since.
