I must admit that I have particular feelings regarding this game.
First of all, I have not completed it all yet - I reserved Terra's part of the story as last 'cause, ya know, IT HURTS (like the others' stories as well btw, but his is... on a higher level for me), and that's the reason why I got these complicated feelings about it. Everything about the wayfinder trio just makes me cry like a child, starting from Ventus line "Just put an end to me" in the Keyblade Graveyard to actually HIM disappearing after the battle with Vanitas, AND THEN, meeting the heart of Sora and joining it 'cause HIS heart was too damaged to return where it belonged, and putting him to an endless sleep.
UGGGH MY FEELINGS
Then, there's Aqua. "The misguided master" as Xehanort called her in DDD, the stubborn girl that kept fighting against the darkness just to protect her friends, to keep them safe from it (and failing with Terra, but unfortunately she doesn't know that right away). She sacrified herself falling into the Realm of Darkness, in which she wandered for TEN YEARS. Alone. My gosh.
And finally. Terra. The boy who made wrong decisions, being manipulated by a man who's selfish wishes were stronger to the point of sacrificing the lives of these three young people in order to obtain what he wanted. Kingdom Hearts.
The same boy who refused to fall under the control of the darkness, to fall under the control that master Xehanort imposed on his heart to make a new vessel for him to use...
And his armor, filled with his thoughts, his deep feelings, HIS OWN MIND - known by the name of Lingering Will - persisted, uncorrupted by that same darkness that took over not only his heart but his body as well, and which remained vigilant in the Keyblade Graveyard, waiting for the day when he will finally set things right and regain what has been lost.
That's how the saga of Xehanort "officially" begins.
And oh boy, must I really finish it? Am I ready to shed more tears about this game? Wasn't 358/2 Days enough?
Hell no. But what choice do I have? I love this game. But at the same time, I hate it. I hate what happens. And I hate the fact that I can't do nothing to change the course of the events that are about to happen. The tragedy that's almost hidden behind the corner of the Land of Departure, just minutes before the beginning of the mark of mastery.
[I know the cutscenes of this game as well as the back of my hand by now, since I watched it too many times to count - and still - here I am sobbing uncontrollably after finishing Aqua and Ventus's stories for the first time. Sigh.]

i went to a tiny counterserve diner once and accidentally poured sugar instead of salt all over my hashbrowns and was eating them sadly anyways. the waitress took them away and started making me another one and I tried to protest, but she just snorted and said "we're not catholic here". now every time i'm doing something painful out of obligation i think about how that is not repenting, this body is not a catholic establishment, there is no nobility in suffering.

I honestly and truly believe all good AUs should be a little “”””ooc”””” in the sense that good characterisation involves understanding that changes a characters backstory and circumstances will have an effect on how they respond to the world around them
Good characterisation isn’t about creating a perfect 1:1 canon replica it’s about understanding why a character is different in your work and about grounding the changes you do deliberately choose to make in canon character traits

Reblog the fundraisers you mfs!!!!! I don't know why you all skip those to reblog some pic of a banner saying "FREE PALESTINE" or of news from Columbia University! Literally these people from Gaza have made an account on Tumblr and is writing in english to communicate what they need and you all are coming onto my blog or on the tag and not reblogging their posts. We have people both Palestinian and non Palestinian vetting the fundraisers! I mean more the reblogs, more the chance of the fundraisers gaining momemtum, the more there would be a chance of a donation. Please donate if you can and reblog!!! and follow them if it is possible.
@/mohammedayesh has posted about getting leaflets, telling them to evacuate Rafah. They are very low on funds. Go follow them and reblog their posts and donate if possible.
We have @/haneenatya too whose mother is suffering from eye stroke and need to evacuate. Please I have been following them for some days and it doesn't seem their own posts are getting much attention.
Follow them! They are on tumblr. Reblog their posts and donate. The protests in universities are being done on account of them. They should be our focus.
(EDIT: on re-reading my post it seems as if I am dismissing all that the students of universities are doing. I am not. I just meant, since all of it is to help Palestinians, we must not ignore them when they ask for help).

Yes, Greece still exists, we didn't all die 2000 years ago. Yes, people speak Greek. You people are so fucking stupid for real. So many of you claim to love ancient shit but can't even acknowledge the actual living culture of the people whose mythology and classics you romanticize. You keep leaving annoying comments about how you just forget Greek people still exist, thinking you're being quirky because you love ancient stuff soooo much that you forgot about the people it came from. You think about it so little you don't even realize that an actual Greek person has to read this shit, making it clear how little you actually care about the culture beyond the romanticized (and westernized) mythology. Don't claim you love Greece, don't use our mythology anymore if you can't acknowledge that we're still around without making it about how little you think about us. It's mind boggling that you'd think a Greek person would read this and think you're anything but obnoxious. Explode.
