One part of kingdom hearts I find fascinating that I don't see get talked to often is the way that Keyblades and key culture is a dying art. A giant culture with philosophies and martial artistry and uniforms and this extensive history just slowly got whittled down until there were maybe four masters left and only a handful of students. The second keyblade war could barely count as a blip in the grand scheme of how many keybearers there used to be. Xehanort's desperation to not let go of the past as one of the last traditionally trained masters, the revival of the art by the novice who was never supposed to wield the weapon in the first place, the lonely state of keyblade mastery as a whole... It's very poignant just how much was lost that a culture that once filled an entire planet can now all be accounted for in one room

desired you while the women flee

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

I just checked and it turns out you still can't hate yourself into a version of you that you can love. I know we were all hoping they'd fixed that but nope, offering unconditional compassion to your flawed self is still the only way to improve. The sweet relief of self-inflicted punishment isn't gonna cut it. Super fucked up, I know, but we carry on.

"I am not a vessel for your good intent" goes hard as a line from a disabled perspective. Abled people care so much more about being their idea of a good ally than they do actually being a good ally. They shove their good intent right down your throat and then act surprised when you tell them they're suffocating you.

Thank you for coming to my this

absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.

The thing about Denethor is that he not only succumbed to despair, he wanted to ensure that Faramir succumbed with him. Similarly, a lot of people now are not only succumbing to despair, they're actively proselytizing despair, trying to convince others to join them in their hopelessness. Despair is apparently lonely and they want company in their self-immolation.

btw denethor succumbed to despair bc he was doomscrolling on the palantir. Sauron tweaked his algorithm so he only saw bad news, and he fell into the trap of thinking the world couldn't be saved.
