Winnie Wolf

Got gifted one (1) volume of the KH manga. Wanted to do a quick art study attempt to merge my own style with Shiro Amano's.

So I know this probably isn’t gonna be canon but it’s been stuck in my head for a good few months after I read the Sleeping Realms Theory…what if Quadratum is a sleeping world bcs Riku uses a sleeping world portal to get there, plus Chirithy said that sleeping and death are very close to each other

And, yk, Yozora looks a SUSPICIOUS amount like Riku. And Nightmare Dream Eaters are just a color swapped version of their Spirits.

You know, sometimes I feel like I keep holding onto a time gone by.

I came across a blog that was very prominent years ago, and I started digging through their archives, noticing how their presence slowly faded away, posts dwindling. This took me to a rabbit hole of nostalgia throughout other blogs and people who used to be here, used to be so lively. To other sites, to see where they are now, how they've been. And what struck me is how so many, really everyone has let go, they've moved onto something else, or just faded off to obscurity as a whole.

How time passes by. "How fast the night changes", indeed. How a hub of familiar faces that one takes for granted in the moment has somehow disappeared. You feel like it's forever, that moment will last forever.. ..until you've traveled far away from where you started. But here I am. Still.

Nostalgia is a heavy, though partially pleasant, weight. Seeing something so familiar that reminds you of a place and time long ago, where you cannot go even if your heart yearns, you can only remember. My heart aches.

And I think that's why Kingdom Hearts will always be so dear to me, and why I never seem to let go, never completely leave. It represents something in my soul that is fixed to a point in time that is my deepest, truest self. For this is my Destiny Islands, this is where I come to, from all the heartaches, happiness and adventure of all my years and life, I always head home, to the shores of destiny.

Like my heart has washed up on that shore, forever to be pushed and pulled by those waves.

But I can still hear it, the comforting lull, the sound of waves.

For a lifetime...

We are doing something. We’re rejecting allonormative ideals and that’s a massive thing to do. We’re actively fighting not just to help other aspecs, but to help everyone, because amatonormativity (and allonormativity as a whole) hurt everyone. Single people who want to find a partner but can’t also deserve to be able to exist.

There are so many issues with the expectation of marriage, including:

A single income isn't enough to get by anymore

Having a spouse is almost necessary under the current medical system

Society shames and pressures people who are single to get into relationships constantly

Rejecting allonormativity means fighting against these things that hurt everyone.
