So I just went marshmallow toasting for the first time since pre-pandemic, and now I feel like writing KH marshmallow headcanons. Enjoy.
(Also, I'm writing these with the assumption Sora and Strelitzia return to the KH universe at some point)
Sora, Kairi and Riku are the ones hosting the bonfire. They used to go to bonfires with their parents as kids, so it's nice to reconnect with a (mostly) untroubled childhood after All The Bullshit(tm) of the past few years
Kairi's adopted mother makes homemade marshmallows, but there are gonna be a LOT of people, so she takes commercial ones. She does however have a small container of homemade ones that there is a very slim chance she'll share
Riku does most of the bonfire-building. It gives him a few flashbacks which in turn give him a lot to reflect on. This boy overthinks a lot and he needs a hug
Sora tries to start the bonfire with Fira. This is not a good idea
Terra and Aqua are subsequently on the "if this all goes horribly wrong, we can put out the fire" squad
Donald insists he is also part of that squad, but no one pays him any mind, and he performs no duties to the effect
Sora also sits way too close to the fire; his marshmallow isn't the only thing getting lightly toasted
Terra and Aqua end up wearing half their armour just so their clothes don't catch fire
Ventus has to toast with one hand and hold Chirithy in the other. Eventually, he just holds Chirithy in both hands and Chirithy toasts the marshmallows for both of them
Roxas and Xion literally have four years of life experience between them, they have NEVER toasted marshmallows before. Isa hasn't since he was a teenager in RG. Lea used to use his fire magic while in the Organization, but it wasn't nearly the same, so he stopped
Roxas accidentally sets his marshmallow on fire, and tries not to be visibly upset as it melts into the coals
Lea purposefully sets his marshmallow on fire, and barely manages to rescue it from melting into the coals before eating the charred remains
Isa gets his marshmallow perfectly toasted first try, and gives it to Roxas
Xion tries to copy Isa and also sets her marshmallow on fire. Isa gives her one too
Mickey tries to be a good instructor on the best marshmallow toasting, but to little avail
Namine is NOT appropriately dressed for this AT ALL. Like girl, I know the white dress is your thing, but just because there's a FIRE doesn't mean it isn't COLD. She ends up with someone's coat soon enough, and is absolutely swamped in it
The RG guys have been meaning to take Ienzo camping since they adopted him, but never got the chance. They are ABSOLUTELY making up for it now
Ienzo has to remind them the while yes, he's never done this before, he IS in his twenties and a scientist to boot; he can figure out how to toast a marshmallow on his own
Ansem then spends the rest of the night discussing Dad-of-a-Young-Adult Feels with Goofy
(Let Max out of the basement, Disney)
Even's marshmallow stick is like 2m long; this man is going NOWHERE NEAR the fire, but he still wants his marshmallow toasted, dagnabit
Aeleus, the team dad (change my mind), teaches all the kids to make s'mores. He is equally encouraging whether you can make one better than he can or can barely hold yours together
Dilan is put in charge of raking the coals, but gets too enthusiastic about it to the point it's intolerable to be near them for a few minutes
Hayner is the one that starts the spooky stories
Pence has the most spooky stories
Olette acts spooked even though she's heard them all before
Elrena has to be reminded that there's a difference between spooky and gruesome
Lauriam is simultaneously proud, a little sad, and concerned that Strelitzia doesn't have to turn to him for comfort through the spooky stories
Demyx provides sound effects to the spooky stories, which actually make them spookier. When they get too spooky and they have to stop, he has a whole repertoire of campfire songs to bring up the mood. They don't last long either, but longer than anyone expected

When I first played KH3 I was a little confused by how set Hayner, Pence, and Olette were on restoring Roxas considering they never met him but like… I totally get it now. Imagine getting told that in a digital reality, there was this guy who was your best friend. He did everything with you and fought for you and loved you. He died knowing you were the most important thing in the world to him. This guy you’ve never met already loves you unconditionally for exactly who you are. And you can help bring him back to life. I would want to see him restored and be super excited to meet him too!!

more old art! back in 2017, i really wanted to make a solo zine based on all the stolen photos of roxas in Twilight Town. i chipped away at it throughout 2017/2018 but then slowly lost motivation and never finished it. but im still fond of the idea and like how some of them were starting to turn out!
it was gonna be styled like a photo album, for all their summer memories, using a mix of photos shown both in the game and in the manga. maybe someday i'll come back and see the idea to fruition... who knows!
