i’ve seen people complain about how square keeps making sora more dumb and i get that and agree sometimes because i do think that there are some moments where sora is definitely smarter than depicted. however, i sometimes i think it fits and its not because he is actually dumb but because he’s had his mind messed with a lot. and it was messed with during his formative years. in later games, sora is often forgetful, asking what other characters consider to be dumb questions, and shown being slow on the uptake. these things make sense when you consider that:

a) sora’s had his memories scattered and rearranged

b) had an entire year of his adolescence (an important time for brain development) forfeited to a coma in order to fix said scattered memories

c) has been manipulated and the victim of mind games multiple times

d) incurred heaping amounts of trauma in a very short amount of time

don’t get me wrong, i feel like sora is definitely smart in his own way and deserves to have more moments to shine in that regard, but when there’s moments where he forgets things or isn’t able to connect the dots as quickly as everyone else, it makes sense to me. it feels logical, understandable. when those moments happen and other characters make fun of him, i’m always like this kid’s brain has gone through hell and back, it’s a miracle it’s still functioning at all so give him some slack for fucks sake!

he’s still missing memories and it seems like he’s lost more in kh3 (if we’re assuming he forgot about riku’s sacrifice and the realizations he had regarding riku as the light) and might continue to keep losing them in kh4. his mind has suffered a lot and i wish the other characters would be more understanding. but for me, when i see him acting “dumb,” it doesn’t always feel out of character given what he’s gone through. he’s not dumb, his mind has just endured a lot and it makes sense that there are lasting effects from those events.

i have no idea if this is intentional, though lol if it’s not, then square, stop making him so dumb because he’s way smarter than that and you know it.

but if it is intentional, then i love it because it gives me so much satisfaction when events have tangible lasting effects, especially in ways that aren’t outright stated. it would also be cool if this was intentionally supposed to be a factor in sora’s self worth arc. because of his perceived increase of “dumbness,” other characters make fun of him more, making him feel worthless and wrecking his self esteem even further. it’s not his fault he’s having a hard time but he doesn’t understand why it’s happening and it’s another thing for people to shit on him for and eventually he’s going to snap or break under the pressure from all that shit. if this or something like it is the intended outcome, i think that would sick

the ideal dynamic

im not very far in persona 4 golden yet, but ive noticed this pattern of the characters all being gay as fuck and im obsessed

I’m back with Covid and shitposts

If a bear I fought gave me top surgery I'd also never wear a shirt again tbh

How people think Sora treats villains in Kingdom Hearts:

Sora after beating Demyx to death with a giant metal key:

Guys I think I know why they called it Sonic x Shadow

They're trying to Frozen it

They're TRYING TO BURREY THE SONADOW ART

I forgor about these sketches I made right after I finished the Sora/Tangle drawing.

Just gonna casual share some WIPs I won't get to finish anytime soon :(

I'm a little sad I never finished this one, considering his hands came out nice...

I made this one during my one month Hello Kitty phase last year and Blaze had a good chunk of her line art done too!

RIP Computer :/

Bonus: 

are we not going to talk about this

they only made them for sora and riku 🤔🤔

Friendly reminder! Sonic Prime in Latin American Dub hurts more!

Exhibit A: Instead of calling Sails a beauty, Sonic actually tells him he loves him (he loves every version of his little bro!)

the way Jesse McCartney voice acts like rent is constantly due the next day needs to be studied

Since I won't have the chance to draw the Dragon Outfits soon, I want to share my "Other Sega" series!

This was the first one I made more than a year ago of them as Samba and Salsa. It really was just a random idea.

These two are from two different franchises, with Blaze having a Burning Rangers fit, which is a random game about firefighters with a banger theme. Marine, on the other hand, is wearing the main fit for Amazing Island, which is a game about making a bunch of silly monsters.

And last but not least, since Silver already had this Nights costume, I thought it would be nice to make a matching Shadow Reala to go along with it.

I know it the end of January but have this Christmas Pokemon Cafe fanart???

The only Earthbound fan out I've made in, like, the last 3 years, oof.
