SHADOW & BONE REVIEW: EP 1
HELLO.
So let's get the assholery out of the way: I have a master's in arts critique (specifically film, dance, and fashion) and these are my Very Important Educated Thoughts.™ Just kidding. They’re not important. They're only educated. Sort of. I used to do the journalism but now I only write for funzies.
These are all my reactions, thoughts, and culturally-influenced tidbits I noticed (because that is my jam). We'll talk about communist propaganda, we'll talk about transitional editing in film, we'll talk about historical dress translated to costume, we'll fangirl over our favorite moments and be sarcastic over everything else.
Let's ROLL:
- first thing's first, was that a goat on the bridge?! WAS THAT A GOAT. Is this foreshadowing already? Or did we just see the well known-star of the show already, somebody hold me
- This kind of happy intro to character backgrounds music is kind of throwing me. (This is the only time I reacted kind of meh in the sound dept.)
-Ok, that shot of the camera panning up the cane is sexy af. You know, the one from all the gifs we've been staring at the last month. We get to The Cane before you get introduced to Kaz even. Bc it’s important. I like that.
- Omfg when Kaz goes into the office and the DeKappel is hanging framed in on the wall... I am screaming
- "I only invest in one of a kind, she isn't like you. No one is." Easy does it, now
- Kaz is looking directly at the camera, directly at usssss ahhhhhh it’s kind of scary, I love it. It comes off as rather threatening, no?
- You can FELL when I scene transition is coming because they're doing that pan in pan out camera movement on a similar object, for example the painting of the fold to the actual fold, or the same motion a character is making. Takes me back to my true love and oscar winning editing team on Lord of the Rings. Imagine hadving 5 plot lines in different locations running at once (in RotK. lol at the editors, good luck making it all make sense
- Goddamn racist Ravkens, yeesh (x1)
- ZOYA. WOAH. Combing on a bit heavy with Mal, are we?
Stop talking about tumbling grisha, Mal, you’re making Alina feel worse hahah
- OH SHIT BOYS, IT'S PEKKA ROLLINS. He doesn't have a green coat, but he does have a heavy Scottish accent, so that's nice
- Alina's whole unit just got sent into the fold, ohhhhoho fuck that means everyone that died is her fault. ooooops.
- God, the skiff is just so cool. that shot of it right after they unfurl the sail is beautiful, jfc I am loving this. And the MUSIC and then a cut to silence and creaking ships noises and distant volcra. I did a presentation on sound editing in school and this reminds me of some moments from another Oscar-winning sound editing team that worked on Master & Commander
- Ship graveyard! Good way of establishing how deadly this place has been without saying it. And also the dead trees is pretty cool, I always thought of the Fold as just empty nothingness but the trees make it creepier
- A KAZ SMIRKY SMIRK!
- Casual showing of guns, always necessary
- I love how they use heartbeat sounds in the background when heartrenders are around
- I’m just really loving the sound editing, can you tell. It’s really important.
- Awaaa Inej being all like "omg saints! a sun summoner, wow, so holy!"
- OMFG HE SHOT HIM IN THE HEAD and lol Kaz doesn’t flinch
- Kaz really does stare right at the camera a lot and it’s kind of unnerving, which it probably is supposed to be, bc it’s establishing him as a no-nonsense boss, like this guy will fuck you up and be emotionless about it
- Hold on, did I miss who this mustache guy is even and why he wants Alina? I need to pay better attention
- Is the credits song the Ketterdam theme? I love me some good bouncy cello
...and that's the end of episode 1. Beautiful. Amazing. Word-building. Good sounds. Stay tuned for ep2.
ep1 | ep2 | ep3 | ep4 | ep5 | ep6 | ep7 | ep8

Harry Potter: What the Movies Got Right
Because the movies get a lot of shit for the ways that they differ from the books, here is a way too overly-detailed list of moments from the Harry Potter films which IN MY OPINION improve upon the source material.
Sorcerer’s Stone:
The Norbert Storyline: Cutting out the whole midnight hand-off of Norbert to Charlie’s friends story-line was a good move. It slowed down the plot in the book, and come on, how were Charlie’s friends able to sneak into Hogwarts in the first place? There are literally entire chapters of people trying to figure out ways around the schools security.
Chamber of Secrets:
Nothing to add, the book and movie are almost entirely one and the same (Sure wish they’d followed through with this on some of the other movies. Lookin at you Half-Blood Prince).
-ONE THING THOUGH; at the end when Harry tricks Lucius Malfoy into freeing Dobby and you can hear him start to cast ‘Avada Kedavra’ at Harry. It’s a small and HILARIOUS addition. Like, really Lucius? The killing curse? At this little twelve-year-old, right in front of Dumbledore’s office, in broad day-light, over literally nothing? I heard somewhere that this was because Jason Isaacs thought he should say some spell but nothing was scripted, and Avada Kedavra was the only one he could think of. But it’s just really funny to think about Lucius legit about to murder a kid in public over losing his house-elf.
Prisoner of Azkaban:
-Aunt Marge’s Big Mistake: I love that Marge blows up and floats out of the house, rather than just bouncing off the walls like in the book. Hysterical!
-Lupin scenes: Lupin talking about how Lilly “was there for me at a time when no one else was” and how she had a gift for finding beauty in people “even and most importantly when that person could not see it in themselves”… just… fucking David Thewlis man. Actually, all the Harry & Lupin conversations in the movie have this sweet parental energy that was mostly there in the books, it just feels so much more potent here thanks do Dan & David’s incredible chemistry.
-Harry’s Patronus Lessons: the powerful memory that finally gets him to cast the spell is thinking about his parents talking with him. Kind of an understated change from the books, but it helps to underscore that the memory doesn’t need to be big or even all that happy, just emotionally poignant.
-“WHY DON’T YOU RUN ALONG AND PLAY WITH YOUR CHEMISTY SET?!?!?!?”
-Snape protects the kids: Even though Snape was being a dick the entire time in the Shrieking Shack, he still acts as a HUMAN FUCKING SHIELD between the kids and Wolf Lupin and even takes a blow to the chest while protecting them. Book Snape was unconscious the whole time. Also, Movie Snape is so much more sympathetic than Book Snape, fight me. More on this down the line.
Goblet of Fire:
-Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here, because there ain’t much.
-David Tenant is fun as hell as Barty Crouch Jr: I mean, there isn’t much fleshed out motivation in the character in the movie besides being bat-shit-fucking-crazy, but hey, it’s fun to watch! Also, I love the added detail (which I believe was improvised by Tenant) of Jr’s lip twitch and how this gives him away when he’s pretending to be Moody in front of Crouch Sr.
-Cedric’s bravery: It’s a very small thing, but in the book when Cedric and Harry realize something’s off in the graveyard, they don’t really react much, or even say anything. When Harry’s scar stars burning, my man Cedric has enough presence of mind to draw his wand, ask Harry what’s wrong, takes a defensive stance, and shouts “Who are you? What do you want?” bravely to an approaching Pettigrew. Guy spends his last few moments being an absolute champ. Hollywood did you wrong Robert Pat.
Order of the Pheonix:
-The DA training sequences: They’re wonderful and full of teen-whimsiness and the score makes me happy. Seriously, go listen to the ‘Dumbledore’s Army’ track, it’ll make your day! https://youtu.be/fZane0CwAGg
undefined
youtube
Harry’s cheesy one liner which somehow still manages to be great: “Every great wizard has started out as nothing more than what we are now, students. If they can do it, why not us?”
-Neville’s Character growth: “We’re gonna make them proud Neville. That’s a promise.” Man, I really wish there had been scenes of Harry and Neville talking about their families in the books. There’s so much that they share in terms of past traumas. I like that they bring it up in the film, even if it’s a very quick scene.
-Fred and George: It’s been said before, but the scene with Fred and George comforting a young student who’s had the Umbridge hand-slicing treatment is UNPRECEDENTED and I LOVE it. This helps show them as more than just loveable jokesters.
-“Neville Longbottom is it? How’s mum and dad” “Better, now that they’re about to be avenged!” FOUR FOR YOU NEVILLE LONBOTTOM, YOU GO NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM!
-Possession: I’m gonna be honest, this movie is my next-to-least-favorite of the adaptations. I’d be prepared to write it off as a bad movie altogether if it weren’t for the way they decide to end with the Ministry battle: In the book, Voldemort finishes dueling Dumbledore and starts possessing Harry, who tells Dumbledore to kill him. Possessed Harry says: “Kill me Dumbledore, death is nothing compared to this. Kill me. And I’ll see Sirius again.” This moment is really quick, and it’s not really made clear until the next book that Harry’s love and grief in this moment is what drove Voldemort out. In the movie, the scene gets more time and attention and shows Voldemort possessing Harry, forcing him to remember his worst memories of losing people he loves. For anyone who’s ever suffered from depression or anxiety, the way these horrible memories overwhelm Harry is shockingly familiar. But then, Ron, Hermione and the others come running in. The sight of them makes Harry remember all of the best moments with his friends: “You’re the weak one. And you’ll never know love, or friendship. And I feel sorry for you.” HOLY HELL. All the tears. Just all of them. I fuckin love this moment. Congrats Possession scene, you single-handedly saved this movie for me.
Half-Blood Prince:
Oooooh boy. Full disclosure, I kind of hate this movie. It’s just… it’s not ABOUT anything. Like, SO much was changed in Order of the Pheonix to make it tonally different from the book, AND YET: Sirius’s line in the OOTP film about how “we all have light and dark inside of us” is so cliched and not from the book at all, but it PAYS OFF and shapes the theme of the movie at the end when Dumbledore reinforces “It’s not how you are alike. It’s how you are not.” So yeah, not really from the book, but it’s at least trying to have a theme. HBP the movie is a mess. Instead of having a central theme, the main idea for the movie appears to be: “stuff is happening”.
-Despite this, there were one or two instances of “stuff is happening” which the film added that built positively on the book. One of those is, hear me out, the Burrow attack. HBP the book is pretty void of any action until the very end, and this addition (nonsensical as it is. Did they ever explain how the Death Eaters were able to break through the Ministry’s protective charms to get to the Burrow?) gives us some pretty cool visuals and some much needed tension. Too bad it’s totally meaningless as we see in the first few minutes of Deathly Hallows Part 1 that the Weasley’s have completely rebuilt the Burrow. Cause, ya know, magic.
-Draco on the Hogwarts Express: “Hogwarts. What a pathetic excuse for a school. I think I’d pitch myself off the Astronomy Tower if I thought I had to come back for another year.” HA! Oh the irony.
In general, the characterization of Draco is so much more engaging here than in the book. The fact that the movies are less exclusively only what Harry thinks and sees gives us opportunities to see more into other characters perspectives. Draco’s experiments in the Room of Requirement really add a lot to the characters emotional struggle. And boy howdy does Tom act the HELL out of the bathroom cry scene. Really makes you wish they’d followed through on that redemption arc in DH part 2 (more on that later).
-Last but not least; Slughorn and the Lilly fishbowl. HOLY SHIT is this scene powerful. Not only is it an incredibly touching story, but we get to see the parental and emotional aspects of Slughorn’s ‘collecting’ of promising students over the years. And the sadness of Slughorn’s unfinished sentence; “the day the bowl was empty… was the day that your mother….” Just, damn. I both love and hate this moment, because it adds something positive to HBP and that makes me mad because I guess I can’t totally hate it now.
Deathly Hallows Part 1
-Opening montage with Hermione Obliviating her parents. In the book, Hermione tells the boys about how she did this in order to make them see how much she’s already sacrificed to their cause. But damn. SEEING it really makes it even more devastating.
-Hedwig’s Death. Damn, just typing those words hurt my heart. I really liked that Harry lets her fly free at the beginning, only to have her come back during the sky battle to save Harry. It’s sad in the book having her die in her cage, but they really amped up the cry factor for the movie by having her sacrifice herself.
-“Hey losers! He isn’t here.” Goddamnit, Neville just keeps wracking up those ‘Biggest Badass’ and ‘Best Character Growth’ points. It’s great foreshadowing for what’s to come with his hero moment in the Final Battle.
-Harry and Hermione’s dance. I know some people have called this scene unnecessary and awkward, but here me out. The dancing itself is, in my opinion, EXACTLY how awkward fools like Harry and Hermione would dance, and the moments where they slowly change from depressed and dead-eyed to light-hearted and goofy, it shows you that despite all the hardships they’ve gone through, they’re just kids. A little awkward, a little uncertain, but still able to enjoy the small things in life. Also, the little moment where they linger for a moment all serious after the dance always played to me like “hey, you know how Ron just stormed out after accusing us of having a thing? Maybe there’s a possibility that we actually do… nah.” It’s a nice little moment.
-Scabier’s creeper moments with Hermione. That scene in the forest when she’s put up the enchantments so they can’t see her, but he can smell her. It’s a great acting moment between Emma and the dude playing Scabier (even if this should have been Greyback).
-Draco at Malfoy Manor. Small but touching scene; when Draco is brought in to make sure the Death Eaters have caught Harry, he does the same thing in the book where he claims he “can’t be sure”. In the book, Draco says this while refusing to look Harry in the eye. In the movie, he looks Harry dead in the face and looks scared to death while asking “What’s wrong with his face?” Just… the concern and fear dripping off of him is DELICIOUS. (AGAIN WITH THE REDEMPTION ARC!!! THE POTENTIAL WAS THERE WARNER BROTHERS!!!!!)
-Hermione Tortured. Not really all that much was changed for this scene, but Bellatrix carving ‘mudblood’ into Hermione’s arm and the way it evoked Holocaust concentration camp victims was a stroke of genius.
-Dobby at Malfoy Manor. Way to give this ‘lil dude a moment to shine! Specifically; “of course I can, I’m an elf!” “Dobby never meant to kill anyone. Dobby only meant to mame or seriously injure!” And then… the death scene. I love that in the movie, Dobby gets a longer farewell. “Such a beautiful place… to be with friends. Dobby is happy to be with his friend. Harry Potter.” UGH! At least give me some warning before you rip my heart out.
Deathly Hallows Part 2
-Snape vs. McGonagall; I’m torn, because I love the scene in the book where Harry defends McGonagall against the Carrows leading into the scene where she confronts Snape, but I also really love this big dramatic scene in the Great Hall with the “How dare you stand where he stood?” and McGonagall dueling Snape. Alan’s expression as Maggie steps up is PRICELESS.
-Harry and Malfoy in the Room or Requirement; “Why didn’t you tell her? Bellatrix? You knew it was me.” Yeah Warner Brothers, why didn’t he tell her? Gonna maybe follow through with this redemption-arc you seem to be building up? No?? OKAY THEN!!!
-Snape’s death scene. Changing the setting was a stroke of genius. This scene is wonderfully done and we all know it.
-The Prince’s Tale. Okay, I feel like I’m going to take some flak for this. At first, I wasn’t thrilled with how much was cut out of Snape’s flashbacks concerning his friendship with Lilly and their falling out. But when you really think about it, they cut out all of the really gross stuff. For instance, it’s never implied that he enjoys bullying people for fun, he doesn’t call her a mudblood, he isn’t shown being toxic towards Lilly and jealous of James, never has the moment where he asks Voldemort to kill Harry & James and leave Lilly for him, and in general is WAY less problematic than in the books. This might be an instance of a ‘less is more’ win in favor of the film. I know, I’m as shocked as you are.
-Malfoy’s Redemption: So this might be confusing for some folks since this wasn’t in the final cut, but here’s a link for what they originally had in mind for Draco’s redemption arc: https://youtu.be/hS5Z2YbyePg

youtube
I am SO MAD that this was left out of the final cut, since it’s so obviously built up in part 1. Also, it would have been a HUGE improvement on the source material since Draco effectively has NO character growth there. This moment, where he makes a huge stand by yelling “POTTER” (also, GREAT inverse from the way we’ve become accustomed to hearing Draco sneer at Harry by invoking his surname over the years), throws him the wand, and runs back to join the fray, is a great addition to the series. I really wish the filmmakers had stuck with this plan.
Incredibly long ranting list over.

worst releases of 2017
Glue is still a band people like??
that dude jimmy’s existence and the fact that people pay attention to him
“hey check out my new power electronics album it’s a 7 CD collection of 3 hour long tracks coming soon on hospital productions”
finding out people you associated with for years are abusers
and people still are friends with them
having to immerse yourself in ~scene politics~ if you want to play shows even though it’s all obnoxious juvenile bullshit and everyone sucks
punk as a whole being a cesspool of boring garbage that exists for most people as a backdrop for social functions and personal gain via cutthroat capitalism disguised as “DIY”
the overuse of the term “social capital” by those with no understanding of what it means or knowledge of cultural capital or symbolic capital which they often confuse it with
add “gaslighting” and “emotional labor” to that list
"10 Reasons Why Every Band Should Conform To My Narrow, Lowest Common Denominator Informed Ideas Of How To Perform Music (And Also Should Only Play For 7 Minutes Max)"
"10 Reasons That Prove I'm A Boring Pedestrian Who Doesn't Appreciate Challenging Artistic Expression Or Even Understand That Performance Itself Is An Art Form And Doesn't Have To Always Appeal To Everyone"
"10 Reasons I'm Using To Justify Saying 'That's Just The Way Things Are' So They Do Stay The Way They Are, Because Punk To Me Is More About Social Hierarchy Than It Is About The Music, Politics, Experimentation, And Acceptance Of True Outcasts Which Are Integral Aspects Of The Punk Aesthetic"
dude we fucking get it, you just heard Death Church......but you’re never gonna be Matthews, Blinko, Greville, or any combination of the three, so please fucking stop ruining their style with tryhard riffs that go on for too long and aren’t memorable
and every goddamn band does it now
is deathwish inc still a thing?
oh yea they are because Converge put out another steaming pile of shit
I really don’t feel too compelled to listen to your 8th “new gorenoise project” after the first seven weren't too impressive
old alt bands trying to stay relevant by using art that looks right off the youth attack catalog from 2010 and touring with artists who stopped being relevant like 4 years ago
apparently shitty screamo (sorry....”skramz”) bands and bands who sound like bad marilyn manson ripoffs are to be considered deathrock and/or noise rock
people say “skramz” and “emo violence” with no sense of irony
the people who were the ones shitting on art punk and noise the hardest for years are now jocking that shit and starting bands but still treating it as a joke
turnstile is a band and apparently they played in israel LOL
realizing that nu metal is just sludge for normies and Dystopia is just nu metal for crusties
look dude......using too much chorus pedal on both guitar and bass, writing one song about a graveyard (that’s actually just a generic anarcho-punk nursery rhyme) and having a tonedeaf singer who moans through too much reverb doesn’t make you a goth band even with your super cool pre-distressed Sisters Of Mercy shirt
also bands who clearly like New Order and Tears For Fears but not enough to not blatantly rip them off
youth crew probably
“all cops are bastards” chanted with total sincerity as a supposedly meaningful chorus to a “political” song
comic book villain laughing being overused
the new wave of punks trying to play industrial that they think is original even though they just sound like the worst of skinny puppy and have never even heard of SPK
nyc as a whole
holy shit why is there so much oi
tuff guy gruff vocals are getting more hilariously unbearable by the day
and they were already fucking outrageously goofy to begin with
punks using poppers but not for their intended purpose
is the term “female fronted” still used as a genre by dipshits
the continuing adventures of the infantilization of women, poc, and lgbtq individuals -- as well as taking those with chronic illnesses and disabilities lightly and treating them as if they’re being unreasonable -- in punk, a subculture which claims to embrace leftist politics (see #7)
“hello it is I an uninformed metalhead shitass duebro here to tell you why caring makes you stupid” by metal sucks dot com
sweet christ if your tape is being used as a release it’s not a demo -- just title your fucking tapes so they’re distinguishable somehow when I type in “demo 2017″ while looking for it
chances are, if you did just call it “demo” I didn’t even bother because I know it’s gonna be knockoff Peni riffs and stompy big bad boy drums or “mutant so weird true freaks” bullshit
or “raw punk” aka “we just heard disclose lol”
I’m honestly not sure which of those is more unbearable at this point it’s a tough call
all music is bad
the end see you next year fuckers

More KH3 talk, this time with spoilers from the last Disney worlds through the end of the game.
So as for Disney worlds:
I never thought I’d say this, but I think the Caribbean is my favorite world in this game. I mean it: Square seriously went all out to redeem the PotC world. I loved the ship battles (once I got the hang of them), exploring the sea, hunting for crabs and treasures, swimming in deep waters, and especially my ship. I love the Leviathan so much. I was actually so afraid that I wouldn’t get to sail her again after she dissolved into crabs at the world’s conclusion, but when you revisit, she’s there waiting for you!
I just. 💖💖💖 I love that boat.
The boss battles for the Caribbean were great, too! The flying dragon one actually reminded me a bit of Phalanx in Shadow of the Colossus, only much less frustrating. And I liked rescuing the Pearl from the Dutchman and the Kraken (which was still alive for some reason?). Davy Jones was a bit of a pushover, but I still liked that I got to fight him.
The negotiation scene with Jack and Becket took me right the fuck out, though. Like I know this series has plenty of moments that just bowl you over with how truly bizarre KH is as a concept, but it still gets to me sometimes. LIke… I was talking to Donald Duck not three seconds ago, and now I’m watching hyper-realistic Jack and Becket talk trade-offs and sip wine, and it is all played completely 100% straight.
The whiplash is just… It’s a lot.
Luxord is defeated by Jack’s stank breath fskfjldsj Guys, PLEASE just let the Disney characters take care of the 13 Darknesses. We’ll be in and out of the Keyblade Graveyard in like ten minutes max.
I found San Fransokyo a little underwhelming, especially after the Caribbean (which I think would’ve been a better choice for the final movie world). You just go to the garage and then the city, and that’s… kind of it. The city’s gorgeous at night, and it can be fun to explore with the flowmotion mechanics, and the scene where BH6 is inspired by Sora’s moves was great, but otherwise… It’s just alright. I think I just prefer the worlds where I get to explore nature (like Corona and Arendelle) to the more modern ones (like here and Monstropolis).
Also, I didn’t care for the addition of time travelling Riku to Team Nort. That just felt unnecessary and annoying.
Okay, the last, I dunno, six or so hours of this game kicked my ass. I mean, holy shit, you leave the final movie world and just hit the ground running from there.
Normally when I’m writing up my thoughts for playthroughs, I’ll play then pause to bullet point a few thoughts real quick, then get right back to the game. But I barely did any of that once Sora reached the RoD because I was just so overwhelmed by basically EVERYTHING that happened. I don’t have many notes from after that point, so I’m gonna have to go off my memory here:
SORA FLYING INTO REALM OF DARKNESS LIKE A BIG DAMN HERO. THE SLOW MOTION AS HE LANDS ON THE WATER. HIS THEME PLAYING TRIUMPHANTLY. RIKU’S EXPRESSION AT SEING HIM ARRIVE.
Everything about that sequence was just so!!!! Oh my god!!!!
So I triggered the pirate ship during the Anti-Aqua fight, and she got stuck ping-ponging between the front and back of the ship for about 30 seconds. It kind of... killed the seriousness of that battle, lmao. I could’ve just not triggered it ofc, but I think it would’ve been a good idea to disable the attraction flow mechanics for certain battles.
Anyway, Aqua is saved! And her scene on Destiny Islands was so sweet. It was really cute how Donald just hugged her and then everyone else joined in. My heart. <3
I loved seeing Demyx and Even interact. Also, I CAN’T BELIEVE this game had a Demyx Time reference, lmao. Who in the writers’ room thought to throw that in?
I’ve never been super invested in the apprentices’ storyline in canon, but I like that it was resolved somewhat in this game. Ansem and Even want to atone for their past, so they both sort of find a way to do so by using the replica research for good.
Also, it was sweet seeing Dilan trying not to cry, and Aeleus putting a hand on his shoulder.
Castle Oblivion turning back into the Land of Departure was a beautiful scene. I loved all the little clockwork sounds. <3
And I took so many selfies with Aqua in the castle hallway, lol. I don’t think she has any reactions to the camera, though, which was a little disappointing.
I’m so glad Aqua got to take on Vanitas instead of Sora. And I loved her reunion with Ven. <3
Aqua recognized Kairi! Thank God for that, I thought that scene in BBS would get brushed aside. And I loved Axel’s reaction to seeing Ven for the first time, like “Great, now I gotta give Roxas another identity crisis when all this shit is over.” His comment on everyone apparently already knowing everyone else was funny, too.
I like that Jiminy shows up and tells everyone he downloaded the KH wikia app to all their phones. I was hoping this would lead to phone shenanigans, like the guardians all sending selfies to each other or something, but nope. I guess it was just to make it clear that all the characters will be up to speed by the time we get to the last world.
Kairi says Naminé is safe with her, aww.
Okay, I laughed at Sora and Kairi looking off to see Riku sitting on the beach alone. Like I know he wanted to be by himself and everything, but still. It made me think too much of that scene in Parks & Rec where Donna and Tom see Ben sitting alone on a bench and eating soup, lmao.
I’m kind of torn on how that scene played out, though. On the one hand, I would’ve liked the three of them to share a paopu together, but on the other… That was always Sora and Kairi’s thing, y’know? Sora and Riku have plenty of things they’ve shared through the series (keyblades, battles, entire storylines), so I’m fine with Sora and Kairi having this one thing that’s just between them.
I just wish there was something special shared between Riku and Kairi, too.
Right, so apparently this girl that Ansem SoD was talking about was also a friend of Lea and Isa when they were kids, so it definitely isn’t Kairi. I don’t think it’s ever revealed in the main story just who this kid is (unless she’s the star Sora talks to later in the Final World? Hm.).
One of the very few notes I have for the game post-RoD just says “fuck the final gummi mission” lmfao. That was literally the only place in the entire game where I actually got stuck.
Aaaand this is where I’m gonna stop my notes for now. A LOT happens once you hit the Keyblade Graveyard, and I want to make sure I get everything, so I’ll save that for another post.
