Kingdom Hearts Trolls

Today I think I'll chat Internet Trolls. Why? Well there fun to mess with for one and two, I just want to. I really don't have a reason beyond that.

So recently I was watching though some videos about KH3 (Yes I realize I have a problem) and I posted this:

Go on... bash me if you want. Call me a fangirl, but I'm done with Kairi. Beyond done with her. I don't want her to end up with Sora. You want to talk about someone who should die it would be her. If you must have any sort of romance make it Sora and Riku. It's clearly what a lot of us want, plus to me, that's a more believable hook-up. At this point in the story, for me anyway. Hooking up Kairi and Sora would be like hooking up The Doctor and Kristen Stewart. It just doesn't work for me.

And I got a few replies:

Man are you fucking retarded or something? They're not going to have any homosexual relationships in a game revolved around the Disney universe.

Hooking up The Doctor and Kristen Stewart... Compared to Sora and Kairi... I respect your opinions, but come on. Most everyone expects a romance between Sora and Kairi in KH3. If not, their will most likely be no romance between the main characters... At least not visually.

JJForeverOrdinary 1 day ago

Who the fuck wants to see a romance between Sora and Riku? That's the most retarded thing i've ever heard. I seriously doubt they'll introduce homosexuality in a game that is almost completely based around Disney characters.

Oh Internet! I just love how you like to play innocent and seem so close minded at times. Okay so maybe the Doctor Who/Kristen Stewart thing was a bit much, but I think it got my point across. That point being that Kairi has had next to no character development since game one and Sora has been to hell and back (maybe not literally, but close).

And who are we to say that Disney would never do something. Ten years ago when this whole think got started did we ever think that Disney, makers of family friendly movies and shows, would ever team up with Square Enix to develop a game that meshed there two worlds? I mean come on guys, Disney just bought Marvel and Star Wars there is nothing they won't do. To quote my sister: "Disney has come a long way on there views on homosexuality. I mean did you see High School Musical?"

And here's another thing. Kingdom Hearts is not just Disney. There Final Fantasy characters in there too.

I did post back to my loving fans though:

It doesn't have to be hard care or anything! And look up Sora x Riku on google. There are plenty of people who put them together in one way or another. They don't even have to kiss okay, I would be fine if it was just implied. And you can't say Disney would never have or support a gay couple! There are plenty of ways to imply that and keep it G rated.

So lets look at Sora and Riku:

When you search them on Google you get 1,420,000 results. Now that's a mix of general information. 

Search Sora x Riku yaoi and its About 185,000 results. 

Search deviantART and the results are 4841. Most of which show them in a homosexual way.

Fanfiction Search yields 468 results. 468 stories involving Sora and Riku. Narrowing that search down to Romance Rated M its 76 stories, most of which are smut.

I know I seem to be going on and on about Kingdom Hearts lately. It has a lot to do with the fact that we have a PS2 and KH one and two here at the house. Also the announcement of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and 2.5 has got me really excited as well. It's a nice way to bridge the gap and get everyone caught up before 3 final comes out.

But do people like these two guys really think that the core audience of this game, the people who grew up with these characters, would really have a major issue if Square Enix and Disney decided to make Sora and Riku gay? I would like to think that most of us are open minded enough to accept them it they were. Maybe it's just me, maybe I was the only one who saw Kairi take Sora's hand and put it in Ansem/Riku's hand and thought "Oh she knows what's up. She's trying to hook them up! She knows she's got no chance with either of them and she's cool with it." Except I'm not the only one who thought that.

But you know, that's cool. You Kairi x Sora supporters just keep right on believing that what Sora and Riku share is just a Bromance, just brotherly love. At the end of the day, my real hope is Square and Disney will tell us all to SHUT UP! There is no love story. Sora was only friends with Riku and Kairi and could never see either of them in a romantic light cuz his too busy being the hero! And then Riku and Kairi will get all pissed off and a giant cat fight will ensue and the only two characters to actually hook up are Zexion and Demyx's Somebodies. Wouldn't that be a twist =^_^=

Demyx

I'm I the only one who wants to know what happened to poor Demyx after his defeat in KH2? I think KH3 should explain that. I for one want to see his Somebody, find out why his Nobody was the way he was, and I want to know his name once and for all!

Lot of speculation about what his Somebody's name was. The most popular is Myde (so don't know how to pronounce that), but there have been others. I know a few of the Nobody's names were just there Somebody's name spelled backwards with the X added. Lea and Sora for example (Axel and Roxas respectively). But that doesn't really make since with Demyx cuz then his name would be Ymed and I'm pretty sure there is no way to pronounce that. I did see someone say that his name could just be Demy, but that seems highly unlikely.

I wish there was some sort of pattern to the Organization's names (besides the added X). Then maybe I could figure it out. I think I like Myde the best though. And I'd like to think that he was a musician before becoming a Nobody. I just don't see what Xehanort would want with a musician unless there is something about Myde... Demyx that we don't fully understand yet. And that's something I'd like to know.

So what do you guys think?

Writing Again

My muse hit me like a ton of bricks last night. It's great to be out of that slump. I think my problem was I was trying to do to mush at once. I get that way sometimes. I wish I could be one of those people that can write like four different stories at once, but I'm not.

I am thinking about doing a song challenge of sorts late in the summer once I'm just writing Life with Sephy. Just to keep me writing and my creativity going into the new theater season.

Speaking of which, during tech week I may not be able to write everyday. So Sephy may end up being an every other day thing. I'm going to try very hard not to let that happen as I enjoy having something to write everyday. It just depends on how much goes into the two musicals tech wise as I plan to be working both of them in some way. It most likely won't effect things to much, but if my Muse runs off again I'm going to have to send the search party out after him and that's never fun.

But that's neither here nor there... and I really like saying that today for some reason. Anyhoo, head on over to fanfiction. There's a new chapter of "Hannah Monroe" up and "Life with Sephy" is up on both fanfiction and my other blog. Happy Reading!

Kingdom Hearts III

So recently a friend of ours let us borrow her PS2 and my sister bought her Kingdom Hearts. The retro trip only served to remind me that IT'S BEEN EIGHT YEARS AND NO KINGDOM HEARTS 3! Dream Drop didn't help because well... I hated the game play. Whatever moron thought that auto drop system was a good idea should be wrapped in bacon, lit on fire and shoved off a cliff. I have no issues with playing as Riku and Sora, on the contrary I liked that idea. It's just I would have liked to finish though a world with one before playing though as the other, not being forced to drop out into Riku's story line mid battle with Sora. That was stupid.

But I digress, this is about Kingdom Hearts 3. I read a post on IGN last night... early this morning... like 2am... about Thing Necessary for KH3 to be Great. I have to say I do like some of the things brought up while others were... less then... I'm going to need a lot of bacon. So lets go through this piece by piece.

Gameplay:
I agree the 3-combo button mash can get annoying and from what I played of Dream Drop and what I understand of the other handhelds this has been KH's go to system. Yes things have chanced up a bit... like that stupid drop system... but overall it's been the same. I would like to see a happy marriage of the Kingdom Hearts Attack/Magic/Item/... Menu with a Final Fantasy battle system. I'll explain... For all it's faults, I kind of liked the battle system in FFXII. And it would work well with the system already in place with KH. I would love to have more control over my teammates in Kingdom Hearts as you could never get Donald to heal you when you needed cuz his sorry magic using butt could not stay up for more than four seconds! No offence to my magic users, but using a similar system to FFXII would fix the AI issue in KH. It would also be nice to see Kingdom Hearts with a Four-Party system, but I'm not holding my breathe for that one.

Dynamics:
This is where the youtube vid I found today really hit's home (I think it's point three) and the post makes mention of this too. It's time to grow up Kingdom Hearts. I'm not knocking the default "Friendship is Magic" story line you've been drumming away at, I'm a Brony for crying out loud. But the series is ten no... going on eleven... ELEVEN YEARS OLD NOW! Your main character is fifteen/sixteen years old and your main audience is in it's mid/late teens to late twenties now. Time for the story to grow up too. Take some risk, make it a little darker. Disney owns Star Wars now! It's okay, go a little crazy. We'll still love you... well...

Plot:
Okay, overall I dig the plot line in the post. It really brings the story full circle, but there are a few things... just a few... that need to go. Okay, fanfic time... here's what I think should happen...
Dream Drop leaves off with Riku named Keyblade Master and Sora going off to do his own thing. But is Sora really happy with Yen Sen's chose? Going back to Destiny Island, we see Sora in the secret cave. Here we see that he is a bit sour. "After everything I've been though? How is it Riku's better than me?" Sora decides that he must get stronger if he's to be any help in upcoming events and begin's a solo journey to become stronger, but he quickly learns that maybe Yen Sen, Riku and Co. are playing into Xehanort's hands.

After learning this and meeting Aqua. Sora makes the tough call to fight both for light and dark, to be a warrior of balance instead of just light (like Riku and Co.) or dark (like Xehanort). This is what truly begins the healing that Ventus' heart needs. Sora and Aqua team up to protect any and all world's under attack, causing Yen Sen to think Sora has strayed from his destiny. This will lead to a show down between Sora and Riku. Unable to chose between her friends, Kairi stays out of the fight while Sora insist that Aqua let him handle this himself. 

Here is where I will... not apologize! Sorry kids, but this needs to happen. During the battle between Sora and Riku, Riku seems to gain the upper hand. But right as it looks as if Riku will prevail, he stops himself. Unable to hide the truth any longer he admits to Sora that he has always been in love with him. Sora is taken back by this information, but is unable to answer Riku as Xehanort arrives and the two parties flee (Kairi taking Riku back to Yen Sen as Sora and Aqua retreat to the next world or whatever.)

After making it safely to the next destination, Aqua tells her full story and Sora has a revelation about Ventus... however that needs to play for Sora to understand he hold Ventus' heart. Sidetrack for a sec! Sora's a freaking heart collector! First Ventus, even if he doesn't realize it, and then Kairi? What the heck Square Enix! The only way this could get more confusing is if you let whoever developed X-2 finish off Kingdom Hearts. On second thought don't you dare. Back to the story...

After a few more worlds or whatever, play that whatever flows best. We see Riku trying to convince the other Keyblade Wielders that maybe Sora is right about the balance between light and dark, however Yen Sen is just not having that and Riku leaves to find and help Sora and Aqua. Kairi is just confused, because she's had about as much character development as a brick wall... scratch that, a brick wall has more character development. Let's go with Kristen Stewart. Lea on the other hand sees where Riku is coming from and leaves with him.

This leads to the final battle at The Keyblade Graveyard. Everyone shows up, Xehanort and Yen Sen do there good guy/bad guy monlouges, the fight begins and then sometime mid battle Ventus wakes up... or his heart anyway. Using Sora as a puppet he talks about not being afraid anymore and is magically there at the battle! He and Aqua have a moment and then he just gives in and the legendary keyblade (x-blade, whatever they're calling it) is forged. Riku, the keyblade master, and Xehanort, the bad guy who wants to cover the worlds in darkness, both go for the blade at the same time. But it chooses Sora. The final showdown starts and Sora is the victory. 

Yen Sen learns the error of his way, Sora was right along, Kairi goes back to her castle where she belongs! Aqua goes to find Terra, or just bring him back in somewhere. I don't really understand, I never played Birth By Sleep. Mikey and Co. go back to there castle and here we have it. Sora and Riku on there own, the two keyblade masters. Sora explains that while on his journey to bring balance he did some soul searching and finds that he loves Riku too. They kiss. The End. End credit scene shows Sora and Riku back on that Island sharing a Paupu.

I know, I know. It's an overview. I could go full fanfic, but not here. Not what I'm getting at. Point is, I agree that any attempt to put Sora and Kairi together after everything just doesn't fit, but neither does Aqua and Sora which is what the post I read said they should do. I really do feel like they should just put Riku and Sora together, give the fangirls what they want. Plus it would make more since because like I said, Kairi has had about as much character development as Kristen Stewart. Play up her princess thing a bit, throw in some explanation as to why she can wield a keyblade and then send her home. Enough already. Sora and Riku however share so much through both there journeys, both going though equal amounts of challenges and hardships while still being opposite of each other in so many ways. At the end of the day, it comes down to Riku and Sora becoming Keyblade Masters. One via Dream Drop (whatever happened there... yes I never finished it) and one via KH3.

Overall:
All this boils down to Square needs to get there priorities in order. I've got nothing against HD Collections, I would kill for an HD of Final Fantasy 7,8, and 9. But here's the thing guys. Your losing money, we're tried of hearing "We'll get to Kingdom Hearts 3 when we're to a point with Final Fantasy Virus XIII." That's great, except your not working on Virus XIII, your working on Final Fantasy XIII Lighting Looks Like Bayonetta and HD Collections of two of the worst Final Fantasies Ever! I don't want slut Lighting and zero personality Tidus, I want Kingdom Hearts 3. So let's get to work on what's going to make you money Square Enix, your  not EA.

3-Party vs 4-Party System

Look who hasn't posted in a few day =^_^= Sorry guys, Life with Zelda's been kind of rough... and no that's not some new fanfic I'm working on. I've put a hold on all my fics except Life with Sephy until summer. That gives me time to deal with my theater stuff without having to rush the stories.

But on to what this blog is really about. Today my sis and I got into an entrusting conversation and I wanted to know what you guys thought.

Which is a better party system in RPGs... Three or Four?

My sis and I think Four Party Systems are better. This gives you a nice even number where you can have two fighters or a fighter and a thief, a black mage and a white mage. The two fighters are obvious. You need the heavy guns to do damage, this can also be done with just the one fighter and a thief while also giving you a way to get extras such as items or magics or whatever. The black mage is a good third member because you can do damage to enemies with a high defense for physical attacks. You could get the same effect if you trained your thief in magic, but I've never been partial to doing that. And last, but not least, your white mage... I don't think I need to explain why that's a good idea.

Than again there is the Final Fantasy VIII way of doing things where your magic is used for stats. It may not be everyone's favorite Final Fantasy, but it did make things easy for a three party system. It allowed you to only need two fighter and a white mage, or in Selphie's case, Fighter, White Mage and Completely Useless!

So what do you think? Three Party or Four Party?

Jinkx Monsoon!

It's Monsoon season kids! I could not be happier right now. Rucap for those of you who have no clue what i'm talking about. Miss Jinkx Monsoon won this season of Rupaul's Drag Race. You should have seen my sister, our friend Rebecca and I. We went a little crazy... but just a little.

For my readers, I'm going to try very hard to do a chapter for each of my fanfics tomorrow. That includes final finishing Act Two of Final Fantasy Father of the Bride. After that it maybe another week before I write anything besides "Life with Sephy" as we are in tech week for the Zelda musical. So I'll be spending a lot of time outside the house... in the real world... scary...

Once again, condragulations to Jinkxy, I love you so much and you so deserve this girl. And I'll see you in the fictional world. Stay Shining!

May the 4th Be With You

How's it going? Hope your all having an awesome day. It's May the 4th, geek out! Although I have no Star Wars wear... kind of depressing... but that's okay because there was a new Doctor Who on tonight! This was a good one, had some mother/daughter drama but it was still awesome and next week looks to be the return of the Cybermen and some weird Borg referencing maybe. I don't know, all I know is Hell Yeah Matt Smith! Sorry... I love Tennat I do, but Matt has a special place in my heart... being my first Doctor and all.

Anyhoo, new Life with Sephy. Things are getting fun. I'm loving writing, I'm glad I got back into it. I quit writing for a good while after high school. I mean I wrote kind of, I came up with plots and stuff but never really amounted to anything... I'm sure those notebooks are around here somewhere. There's also a new chapter to "Hannah Monroe" as well as a smut chapter to "Sephy" over on fanfic. Links in the description to the blog itself... I'll post it again tomorrow. Lots of writing planed for tomorrow.

Happy Reading and May the 4th Be With You!

New Chapter

I'm posting a little early today than I normally will. Today was just a good day =^_^= got a new chapter of Life with Sephy up so you can go check that out. Also got a little more writing on my Final Fantasy Father of the Bride fanfic. That ones taking some doing, lot of stuff that needed to be cut, reworded and researched to make since with the world. Hopefully I can get it finished up and posted along with a new chapter of "Devil Trigger" and "Hannah", but no promises... I never know what's going to from day to day lol. Hope you enjoy the new chapter of "Sephy" Happy Reading!
