Nicolefirekitty - When The Hyperfixation Hits

super proud of this one. the background took for-fucking-ever but it looks so good.

he's a dick but he's right

pretty proud of this so far :) it's fun drawing openly bleeding wounds

god damnit

I’ve just learned of the existence of the website historyofhyrule dot com, and it has an incredible amount of rare Zelda art. And my favourite thing is how back then the artists of guidebooks and tie-in stories only had tiny sprites to work with, and as a result we have a whole bunch of versions of the characters.

(the image is bigger then i intended but meh)

design from my vanitas and ienzo friendship au where vanitas is turned into a flood after dying bbs, trapped in the basement of castle oblivion, and eventually gains the ability to transform into any unversed form

one common thing is the red marks along his chest being consistent in every form. this includes his human form, both on his skin and the dark suit, which has turned to similar colors to the remnant colors, just with the remaining red on his chest.

there were more!! rrargh how does "middle of his stomach" turn into "mhis ch"???

"shetstil'dlended" is decipherable enough as "she'd still ended" but where did "about" go? and that extra "." with a missing "s"?

an extra "no" and an "I" out of no where? and "mot" is just gone from "no other motion"

google docs? what the fuck is this? what did my writing do to you? you mangled it.

was listening to 36 questions and when the song "for the record" played i got these two vibes from it, especially "Tonight's 36 reasons why you and I cannot be healthy for each other"

he has a chokehold on my mind

so i'm not entirely sure how to articulate this well but i was thinking about the ending of kingdom hearts 3 (as you do) and remembered something

okay so, this scene

chirithy is talking about losing powers, specifically the power of waking, which sora brushes off until he's told he'll disappear,

only to be himself and keep going to save kairi despite the (multiple) warnings

he's truly selfless to a fault for his friends

but he considers himself worthless without them, and is willing to sacrifice his very being for their sake, and even seems okay with it if it means they'll be okay

he so dependent on his friends and the people around him he can't see himself in a good light and seems to truly believe what he says in those screenshots

this mindset can even be seen beginning in kingdom hearts 1, when riku takes the keyblade and sora falls to his hands and knees, despondent. only to then be abandoned by donald and goofy, the two constants in his journey

and when sora does get the keyblade back, it's after his speech on all the people he's met and how his friends are his power

it's super cheesy and i love it and in the context of the first game it's perfectly fine, but taking in the context of the rest of the series, this seems to be the beginning of his unhealthy dependency on his friends

anyways i love sora so much but i also hope he has a segment in kingdom hearts 4 where he's completely alone, even away from strelitzia, so we can explore this part of his character more.
