This blog is my little nook to place my loose thoughts & doodles. Also a gathering place for sources of inspiration that I would love to spin & weave into my own creative works ⋆*❁*⋆ฺ｡* kingdom hearts is a permanent fixture in my mind, especially khux, so expect lots of appreciation for the series here! If I’m not here reblogging things a million times a minute, then it’s just my queue running here ٩( ᐛ )و

saw an inspiring video that said you need to have 4 hobbies.
create, consume, cavort, commune
create: bring something to life
consume: appreciate the art of another
cavort: move your body daily
commune: have a community to socialize with
end image description.
I think you need hobbies that do all four things but the number of hobbies needed to cover all these needs may vary. Some hobbies pull double/triple duty. Some hobbies can cause repetitive stress injuries so it's good to have a few different ones that fulfill the same need so you can rotate to get the fulfillment without the carpal tunnel.
Tumblr really is aging.
This is true tho.
Misread this as 'you need to have 4 hobbits'
also true! there’s a really famous three-volume self-help guide about that!
unless all you’re doing is liberating a single mountain from a dragon, in which case you can probably get by with just one, so long as you also have a lot of dwarves.
i really do love those military jackets with embroidery that resembles a gilded ribcage they serve sooooooo much thanatological cunt it's unreal. the memento mori of it all. the bastardised martyrdom. the self-fulfilling prophecy of dressing yourself in silver and gold evoking the final, fragile shield between the most vital, vulnerable parts of you and annihilation, just to go to a place where the objective is to hack it to pieces as cruelly and efficiently as possible until you resemble nothing more than ground meat trodden into the dust you came from. fuck the military for real and forever but they went harder with horrifically ironic self-deceiving propaganda than anyone ever has or will. give it up for the old lie everyone!
shipping isn’t about what the writers or actors say is or isn’t romantic. shipping isn’t even about romance a good percentage of the time. shipping is about seeing The Dynamic and going absolutely hog wild in your mind and your friends dms about it.

I swear, every time I think I'm onto something about characterization in this series, I double check the Japanese script and my point is immediately invalidated
Just now, I was about to be like "the fact that Data Sora introduces himself here by saying his friends call him Sora, instead of saying it's his name outright, shows how non-committal he is about his own identity and his tendency to go along with whatever people tell him about himself"
...but in the original script, he literally just says "I'm Sora." The phrasing was more than likely changed because it needed to fit the lip syncing. Why must they do this to me

Honestly wasn't expecting to wake up to such kind, thought-provoking responses on this post, I gotta say
I made it at 2am after hours of writing a much bigger script for what I hope to be a YouTube video on Re:Coded as a whole, which also meant lots of rewatching cutscenes to get everything right. So I was writing it at a point where I was already tired and a bit spent on deciding what lines to put a pin in for later, and seeing that this line was changed meant backtracking again. Which was annoying but also kind of funny
I didn't want to let my observation go to waste, so I still made the post, but you guys make a lot of good points here! Just because it wasn't the original line doesn't mean I can't have fun extrapolating on it, or that the addition wasn't still intentional. And either way, an unintended meaning is still a meaning worth looking at.
Because I enjoy being thorough, I'll still double check the original scripts when analyzing stuff, but I'll include it more for the sake of clarity or further analysis rather than to debunk my points, unless the contradiction is like. A really big deal.
("I believe in you" vs "You don't believe that," anyone?)
So, in honor of your guys' supportive tags, I'll add onto this by saying: it's also notable that Data Sora only introduces himself this way after Data Riku explains to everyone that the two of them are just copies, and that they're all in the datascape. Whether he intuitively knew he was data or not, it's finally been said outright.
And in true Data Sora fashion, he doesn't mind. Even if he just looks like someone his friends know, he never once doubts that they are his friends. And they call him Sora! To a boy with a still half-formed heart, that's about all the identity he needs.
Arguably, transitioning from "I am this" to "my friends call me this" is a sign that he's becoming more human; the second one provides a personal reason for that to be his name, as opposed to just "that's how it was written." He's seemingly more aware of the dynamic between them now, even though he's still just as content with it. That non-committal aspect is still there, it sticks around for a long time, but there's a small shift in his mindset that's implied here, unintended as it may be.
Thanks so much for the insight! They're genuinely some very helpful perspectives on this, and it made me excited to return to both this post and my video project as a whole
