also am realizing that now that i have a dedicated 'people can ignore this because it's a shitpost' tag that i can explain why i got so freaked out about a lighting error/weird coloring thing in the data fights in kh3 ReMind. because it is something that i /do/ want to write fic about still, but also i have calmed down enough to realize it's a lighting error.
OKAY so like.
as i think is obvious in some of my posts, i'm a re:coded fan. to be even MORE specific: i am a re:coded and coded fan who is Very Normal (lie) about data versions of characters, and the implications of how data characters like data-sora, data-riku/jiminy's journal, data-roxas, etc.
i am ALSO someone who will latch onto random details.
so, imagine my shock and horror, when, perchance, ReMind comes out and i watch the boss cutscenes. all well and good!
... and then i finish dark road. and i rewatch the ReMind boss fights.

and i get to the young xehanort one. and i... notice the eyes look... kind of weird, yeah? like, there's a weird similar thing going on to the thing in ddd where it's implied MX takes over or s/t? they're weirdly lit, kinda silver. definitely not gold with the way they are, anyway. I go 'oh haha, it's probably a lighting error everybody shares'.
... all the videos i can find (i sadly did have the game to test this on my own time when i was thinking about this :[ ), and literally nobody else had this lighting issue from what i could see.

...this results in me connecting dots in my head about 'and a 14th' line in KHDR. Naturally.
Especially with the super suspicious line from Cid that's like, "I must be better at this than I thought 'cause their data, it's so powerful, I can't access any of it". this is a normal thing to say about data in kingdom hearts. this is an especially cool and normal thing to say in the dlc for a game that had sora say the line "a heart can live on, even inside data."
at this point, i'm pretty sure it IS just a weird lighting error, but it's a really funny one, and one that i'm surprised other people didn't also freak out about.
