Thinking about autistic Riku…

Riku who wasn’t diagnosed until after he became a keyblade master, and that was only because Merlin took one look at him and was like “oh my sweet summer child.”

15yr old Riku at the peak of his masking having actual fits of physical rage in his bedroom that he doesn’t really have an answer for other than “today was hard” that are actually meltdowns. We’re talking throwing things, braking shit, rocking and hair gripping. The whole nine yards.

Riku who struggles comprehending why his friends make plans and then don’t follow them through. Like building the raft. They said they were going to do it, so he was doing it. Why was he the only one taking it seriously?

Riku who’s grasp on humour and sarcasm is good up to a point. Meaning he knows how to do it himself, but if it’s directed at him it takes him a hot second to sus it out. He usually ends up giving actual explanations to people for their sarcasm, even though he’s registered what it was, and then gets told “I was joking”. Which fustrated the hell out of him because he KNEW that!!

Riku who has really bad light sensitivity and it’s part of the reason he keeps his hair long for such a long time. Sometimes he kind of wishes he could have the blindfold back.

Riku who despite purposefully keeping his hair long, spends nearly every day tying it back because it’s too much, then taking it down because that’s too much, then putting it back up and taking it back down until he seriously considers taking a pair of scissors to it.

Riku who doesn’t like to be touched unless he’s initiating the touch. Sora is the ONLY exception to that rule, but even then Riku has days when he moves out of Sora’s hold because it’s too much.

Riku who’s special interest is Gummi ships and is VERY happy when they go to see Cid and the RGRC because Cid is the only one that can keep up with his 1000mph rants about mobility blocks and rotation weaponry.

Riku who values silence, and no one can figure out how he deals with Sora’s constant stream of chatter, until he one day moves his hair back to show Mickey the earplugs in his ears. He felt guilty about it for a long time until Sora told him he already knew about the plugs and didn’t mind, he just like being with him.

Riku who likes to play with kairis hair but can’t abide having his own hair touched.

Riku who will usually eat anything but if you give him avocado he will have the biggest sensory ick moment you’ve ever seen. Same goes for mushrooms.

Riku who steadfastly refuses to sleep in fuzzy PJ’s because “no thanks I’d rather be flayed alive, it would be less stressful.”

Riku who, at aged 8, told kairi that if she put that scarf around his neck he would “absolutely start screaming” and then did when she insisted he’d catch cold. Scarfs are demon cloths.

Riku who would rather sit at the back of squalls office in the corner while the other man works, than sit in the science lab with everyone else because Squalls office is quiet and he likes that Squall says what he means.

Riku who ignored his own emotional, physical and sensory needs/wellbeing for months while looking for sora and ended up having a meltdown in front of Mickey and master YenSid.

Riku who now has an app on his Gummiphone that Cid, Squall, Even and Ienzo designed to help him build routine and regulate/track his emotional well-being.

He relies of the breathing exercises game a lot in Quadratum.

Riku who is the reason chip and dale created dark mode in phone settings because nobody could figure out why he barely used his phone until he admitted that it always felt like he was looking into the sun.

Riku who has keyblade related Stims, like tapping the flat of the blade with his nails or messing with the key chain when he’s stressed.

Riku who also has stims such as: flicking his tongue inside his mouth while he’s thinking; twirling strands of his hair incessantly; scrunching his nose; clicking his fingers when he’s distressed; tapping the toe of his boot against the opposite heel when he’s stood still; imperceptible swaying; holding his thumb knuckle gently between his teeth; soft popping noises with his mouth; tapping his palms with the tips of his fingers.

I have more but this is it for now.

You ever think of the RG squad making sure that Riku doesn’t try to drive himself into an early grave for Sora again (also making sure he gets sleep worrying over a sleeping kairi)

I went uncharacteristically wholesome with this

"are you okay" NO!!!!! I just noticed the parallels between the fall of Radiant Garden and Biblical Original Sin!!!! A place where everything is perfect and nothing bad ever happens!!! The snake (Xehanort) tempting the apprentices with knowledge!!!! The way Ienzo mirrors Eve in the way he convinces Ansem to build the lab and why would Ienzo be untrustworthy because that's his boy!! The subsequent fall!!!

THE NAME OF THE PLACE

#kingdom hearts #radiant garden #this has given me so much excess energy that im having to jump up and down #what the fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#ahguhgjdhsgjdhfskjhgsdhfksgdhdsfkjsdhgkjsdhkfjsdhkjgh #ansem the wise #xehanort #ienzo #me post

I have to wonder why the citizens of radiant garden never revolted against ansem the wise because. well.

assuming that each of these hearts came from a real person and were not artificially created in some way—the apprentices kidnapped and killed 640 people. just for the heartless manufactory.

how many people had loved ones disappear? how many heard the screaming from the castle at night? were lea and isa really the only ones who tried to do something?

#kingdom hearts #kh #txt #radiant garden #hollow bastion #this is a game for children btw. just in case you forgot.#im just thinking about what radiant garden must have been like after bbs and before the fall of rg #CONTAINMENT BREACH!!

#kingdom hearts birth by sleep #khbbs #radiant garden #scenery #my gif #this game has a lot of soft color palettes and they're very pleasing to look at #kind of has that soft dreamy feel that i get from playing the original spyro game #i just wish i had an easier way of getting a nice shot because i have to crop a large portion of the canvas to hide the ui

Some fanzines stuff! This was my personal piece for Retribution || Another Side, a Kingdom Hearts fanzine dedicated to Zexion/Ienzo. @ienzozexionzine I don’t post much about him because my affection for this character is mostly related to my ocs interactions, but the boy holds a special place in my heart <3 It’s a page about Ienzo facing a bit of PTSD about his past as Zexion, accidentally and subconsciously casting an illusion on himself looking for some hope and forgiveness. Maybe someone would find interesting some wips and how bad are my sketches before I clean them. 😂

Useless fun fact: I remember I almost gave up to this comic because paneling was SO HARD. For who doesn’t know, in a comic the general rule is for characters, speech bubbles and actions to follow the reading direction. being KH characters planned for a japanese format, all asymmetrical things in their design are often on their right side, such as Braig’s eyepatch, roxas/ven hair direction and the covered half of Ienzo’s face, of course. that’s because this way they can show their best side in comics, living in a right-to-left japanese reading direction. now, imagine an american comic with Ienzo only portraited from his covered side 😂 And that’s why I did the hair pulling scene, I couldn’t use only frontal angles! 😂

I have more stuff for this zine, I did an amazing collaboration illustrating a writer’s piece, but there’s a lot and it’s already long enough here, next post.
