Riku is hot
While there are plenteous examples of GBA sprites being unreasonably hot in this game, Riku gets me the most, probably because he spends all of KH glowering. and he's all alone! :( |
It will if you put two hands on it and...uh...
oh CID. first of all, DESCRIPTION YES, and second of all, now i'm picturing a whole field of big-haired woodland creatures frolicking and going "Sora! Sora sora!" ala pokemon. |
 |
 |
A common occurance
We're all wondering, Donald. *pats Sora* |
Wait, what fandom is this?
like your SOUL? Because hi, escaped dementor, what? DON'T LET HIM KISS YOU, SORA. There's debate about who this is, be we'll get to that. |
 |
 |
AXEL! HI HI AXEL!!
Axel = SO FLIPPING HOT. I was really hoping i would never have these sorts of feelings for a GBA character. er. Also, if you thought this would be the only questionable discussion of what Organization members are doing to Sora, HOW WRONG YOU ARE. |
laksdjfalsdkfWHEELS
Yes, Sora, I agree, !!!!! How can he be this cool when he's only an inch high? how?! |
 |
 |
Reverse that.
Ansem looks pretty cool too. But aww, twist the knife a little, why don't you? Poor Riku. |
Battle Systems Initiate
This is what battle screens look like, and yes, the cards are a pain to use in the midst of a realtime fight. But i do like Riku's grinning health icon. *eeees quietly* |
 |
 |
Shounen Memories!
Oh, RIKU. One of the things i love most about him is that he's SUCH A BOY. "I win!" and his grin. So cute. |
Oh wait, that was Donald's closet
LOL, GOOFY. with all the what? this is possibly the worst description of Hollow Bastion EVAR. Sora's face is great. |
 |
 |
Y HALO THAR PLOT POINT
I love the random explanations people just toss out in this game, most of which i totally missed the first time. |
Curioser and Curioser
Axel: Says a bunch of stuff Larxene already knows. Larxene: Blows her secret wide open. Axel: kicks ass. |
 |
 |
Do you have a kiss for daddy?
"Dammit, you make me wait for hours in this freaky room and you don't even kiss me hi? You're the worst boyfriend ever." |
Best Line of the whole Game
wait for it... |
 |
 |
YES.
this wasn't the first time i had to stop and go "WHAT did they just say?!" but it was the most amusing by far. |
Riku ain't the only thing he's been sniffing
what is up with Org. members and the way things smell? hmm. But also, interesting! |
 |
 |
"I'm a MOUSE, you twit."
"Are you serious? Jesus, no wonder the keyblade went to that other guy." oh Riku. *dies* |
Ties = Buttsex
Vexen's hair needs a little assistance. Or perhaps he's already had it from Marluxia and that's why they don't get along. |
 |
 |
Some more plot
I feel like Vexen may be missing a capital letter there, but he's busy getting Riku's number data. |
How much are dues?
I've a feeling you don't exactly 'join', but again, BOYS. "is there a club house? Girls aren't allowed, right?" |
 |
 |
lol, WHAT
Seriously, Zexion has the best lines. Now i'm imagining "Vexen's Internet Data Service! Build the Relationship of your Dreams!" |
omg what
this is also a glorious exchange with Axel. and Larxene's HAIR!! I love the Heartless hair. |
 |
 |
omg what WHAT
AXEL stop feeding the wrong. |
OMG what WHAT what?!
I also enjoy that Larxene talks like a noobish fangirl. we'll see more of that later. |
 |
 |
Repliku shows up
In Sora's game, i sort of thought Repliku got what he deserved for disrupting my porn-plotting, but in Riku's game, he just made me sad. |
This is kind of familiar
and while Riku never says anything, a lot of things Repliku says about darkness and power must slap Riku right in the face, since he said them almost verbatim to Sora in KH. |
 |
 |
Always Coca-Cola!
ahaha, the nicknames are so cute. BOYS. Somewhere there is wrong and glorious Riku/Repliku, right? |
Vexen's plan comes out
"...by passing you around to the other Organization members like a party favor." |
 |
 |
Donald gets to the truth
Larxene: "Who told you that?! That's a lie! Axel has cooties!" |
I'm takin a break
for some reason this shot just really amused me. Perhaps it is Sora flat on his back...*mind wanders* |
 |
 |
not that position, goofy.
Larxene's just really freaking cool as well, and also, Sprite!Sora with his keyblade is made of adorable. |
more adorable
See? Keyblade = ADORABLE, and also, like Riku's, Sora's grinning health meter icon makes me all squishy. And this time around you get multiple health bars like the bad guys! that's cool. |
 |
 |
Yes. Yes it is.
I think at this point, Vexen, it's more of an orientation than an experimentation, but HEY i won't harsh your mellow, sweetie. |
Cue me feeling really bad
Repliku was totally happy being Repliku! this part is totally missing from Sora's story, so i was caught off guard. :( :( Repliku! |
 |
 |
Larxene is also creepy
Larxene never stops rubbing it in that Repliku is an 'it' and a 'toy', which is cruel but at least honest. Although, she calls Riku and Sora 'toys' as well. |
:( :( :(
wow, they even faded to black *shivers* I didn't cap the bit where Larxene was like "Don't worry, we'll make Larxene take these memories too so you won't know what we do to you :) " POOR REPLIKU. |
 |
 |
Yay! Good job Sora!
This is the most helpful thing Sora EVER says in either game, but of course it's Repliku and not Riku, so Riku will never know. Grarg. |
Oh, sweetie.
Sora's so transparent. *pats him* Don't worry, baby, Riku will come back well-versed in the boyrubbing. |
 |
 |
alisdflkslskdjj BOYS
Shounen rescuing! so much cute all in one place. KEYBLADE! oh, Sora. |
more Sprite!Sora cute
the rocking back on his heels with his hands behind his head? it's amazing how much of each character's mannerisms are packed into those tiny sprites. Awesome job, Square Enix/Disney. |
 |
 |
Hearts Axel
This is a strange conversation he has with Namine, but maybe Namine reminds him of Roxas, or something. |
Best Exchange Evar #3
this conversation was so much more sweet when i thought it was Riku, not Repliku, but it's still pretty hilarious. |
 |
 |
I did what now?
"OMG you don't remember our special night on the island? You said you'd respect me in the morning! I hate you foreverz!" |
End of Exchange
after laughing myself silly, i started wondering exactly which of Riku's memories Namine stuck in here... |
 |
 |
Aawwwww.
Sora seems almost...cognizant of his feelings for Riku in this game. I can't imagine it'll last long. So much slash for GBA! wasn't expecting that. |
That star is so cute
I love how Namine's half-inch sprite clearly shows that this makes her feel like dirt. Repliku :( It's the loss of his sass that i mourn most of all. |
 |
 |
AHA!
Although i don't exactly know what the Sora/Roxas deal is (omg don't spoil me) but i suspected right away that the Kairi/Namine deal was the same. Vindicated! |
Hnnnn again.
So Larxene thinks it's possible, but Axel clearly doesn't? But Larxene is plotting to overthrow the Organization, and Axel isn't? that's fascinating. *LOVES* |
 |
 |
Goofy likes Yaoi
Sora looks so sad :( Goofy would be a good candidate for the Talk, but it would involve a lot of confusion and discussion of 'contraptions'. |
*pulls rank*
I love that Vexen plays the number card, and i also love his 'I'm ANGRY GRRR' face. I'm sad i won't get to see big Vexen! *pouts* |
 |
 |
Marluxia is a pretty pretty princess
If Marluxia is 11, why does he have so much power here? and I totally had to ask Laylah Marluxia's gender, ahaha. |
oops out of order
They mistake hooded!guy for the Superior at first, but it's Marluxia, and this makes me believe it's Marluxia who invites Sora inside at the very beginning. Frankly, i can't see any compelling reason why it WOULDN'T be Marluxia, if he's in charge of the castle and wants to use Sora. |
 |
 |
Mmm, Voyeurism
Something about this scene amuses me greatly. and I haven't mentioned this yet, but when i inevitably write badwrong porn for this game, it will always involve somebody watching over those viewy globes, which you'll note IN EVERY ROOM. |
AXEL. GLEE.
This was about the point in Sora's game where i realized that Axel didn't just look really fucking cool, he was working both (all) sides of the situation. When somebody asks you to 'spell it out' that's never good for you in the long run. |
 |
 |
More Experimentation
I love that Vexen is still poking the situation, examining factors. He's like the count in Princess Bride. "How do you feel?" And you so get played, because Vexen is telling the truth this whole scene. |
Ouch.
Watching this the second time was achy on several levels, knowing exactly what Vexen meant. REPLIKU :( |
 |
 |
*leaps to wrong conclusion*
which is exactly what you do, because sora STILL doesn't know about Repliku and neither do you. But awwww, Sora gets all "Stop touching my boyfriend! I mean rival!" |
WHOA AXEL
I have a couple shots here trying to explain the ultimate cool of this scene, but it's impossible in cap form. Also, it's TOTALLY UNEXPECTED. You beat Vexen, and instead of talking, you get Axel KILLING THE SHIT OUT HIM. |
 |
 |
This is interesting too.
Axel doesn't play it very close to the vest, but he doesn't have to since Sora has no idea what the shit he's talking about, and Axel has already said if Sora just slides through Twilight without catching on, they can smooth it over. |
Another fade out
This is as close to the killing blow as I can get before the white out which prevented you seeing the first shot. That's just...I... |
 |
 |
*still shocked*
I AGREE !!!!! I really wasn't expecting that on my GBA at all, and I still feel kind of o.O;; about it, like watching the south park movie uncut on real TV. "They can't DO THAT! Can they DO THAT?" |
More interesting memories
Since Riku (cause she implants Riku's memory in Repliku) and Sora apparently both have this memory, I wonder if this is a real memory that Namine twisted. I suppose it could be an entirely fabricated one, but few others seem to be that way. |
 |
|
Axel just cracks me up
now he's helping Namine?! Jesus, Axel, whose side AREN'T you on? You are a RAT, my friend *scratches belly* Also this is the greatest pose ever. God bless you, GBA and Japan. |
