baby dragons that sleep in your fireplace and roll about in the soot and the ash trying to get comfortable on burning logs, screeching loudly whenever people walk by or when more logs need to be added to its roost and not stopping until content again
baby dragons with wings that are disproportionate to their bodies until older but nonetheless stubbornly trying to pick themselves up off the ground by running and aggressively flapping and managing to only get a few feet off the ground for a few seconds before crash landing
baby dragons that haven’t been exposed to priceless things such as gems and gold pieces and instead infatuate themselves with other unusual shiny things — like silverware, brass clocks, instruments, and pots and pans
baby dragons who get cold in the winter and crawl up into their caretaker’s clothing (almost always while said clothing is being worn) and curl up as tight as possible and begin to make sounds similar to content purring as they sleep
baby dragons making whiny hungry bird noises until they’re fed
baby dragons being afraid of the family cat for a while until after a few days the cat wanders up to the sleeping pile of scales and fire and curling around them for a nap in the sunshine
baby dragons stealing the shiny car keys and chewing on them
baby dragons gently nibbling on the jewelry of their favorite people- and not so gently with people they don’t like

okay first of all, i keep convincing myself “there’s no way sora’s scream was as bad as i thought it was” so i go back to rewatch it and im stuck in a perpetual cycle of emotional pain, recovery, doubting my recovery, and then back to the pain. how the fuck can it have been 15+ years of this child going through so much bullshit and THIS IS WHAT’S GETTING ME.
anyways, theories? oh boy.
I got lots of mini theories, nothing super plot-related anyways. First of all, I wanna bet Vanitas found Aqua in the Realm of Darkness before Riku and Mickey did. He used her to get to the Land of Departure and retrieve Ven’s body, but that wasn’t what Vanitas was looking for. He wanted Ventus. Who was with Sora, unknowingly. Aqua no longer served a purpose for him, so he threw her back into the Darkness. Aqua felt hopeless watching him run off with Ventus, and that’s how she slipped into darkness as we’ve seen in previous trailers. When Riku and Mickey found her, she was tainted and angry and feeling despair. Ventus was her last ditch, the last person she had left to protect. And she’d failed him. When that darkness tempered her, her only logic was that it was Mickey’s fault for not saving her earlier. And if she hadn’t saved Riku in 0.2, she might’ve escaped. Hence why she lashed out against them.
As for Vanitas, he must’ve only joined up with Xehanort cause he wanted to be whole again. He might’ve hated Ventus, but he was their only salvation. And Sora was the only person standing in the way. They had a common enemy. Vanitas ended up hunting Sora down to Monster’s, Inc., and finally confronts him about being a prison for Ventus along with others. Ventus awakens just enough within Sora to give him a name for who he was fighting, which all but reassures Vanitas that Ventus is within Sora. When he’s walking up to Sora, his hand reached out, he is shaking, because his salvation is so close. It’s right there. And of course, Sora doesn’t know WHAT’S going on, so his natural instinct is to defend himself. Queue boss fight, I bet it’ll be one of those fights like in KH1 vs Leon where you’d lose to progress the story. So Sora would lose the fight and be practically fending for himself before maybe Donald and Goofy/ someone else rushes in and saves him. (I say that ‘cause you see Sora’s keyblade get knocked out of his hands in the newest trailer, impyling his strength is dwindling.)
And as for whatever the heck was happening in the end with Sora screaming? That’s gotta be some sorta near end-game cutscene, ‘cause the area looks just too much like the Keyblade Graveyard. Looks as thought the fight is going stellar until the Heartless run rampant and just sweep everyone away. Kairi was probably brutally injured and wasn’t waking up. Or maybe it was just the sheer sight of everyone of his allies falling in combat. But Sora felt void of hope and just collapsed to his knees. Riku had to fend for him, probably for a short time before he fell too. And that’s when Sora starts screaming and breaking down. I pray that’s when Roxas drops in like we saw in the previous trailer, ‘cause who better to save his ass?
As for Cable Town, here’s some quick trivia on it since a lot of people seem super confused by how we know that name.
Cable Town was an announced world WAY back in 2014. It was shown at a close-screening, no recording or photos taken of it. But attendees were allowed to talk about it in full afterwards. They had described a town that reminded them a bit of the Land of Departure, but was distinctly different. There were cables tipping the skies and the town looked over-all modern. And some attendees of that event did come forward and say this town looked practically the same, some obvious graphical changes to fit the times.
I wanna bet Cable Town is some sort of renewed ver. of the Keyblade Graveyard. The architecture on the walls matches that we saw of the Graveyard, especially where Roxas drops in. Maybe a past ver. before the Keyblade War happened and desolated the place? Or a restored ver. using the power of Kingdom Hearts? Who knows? Nomura does and I will get my answers once the game releases.
Athena blessed her with the ability to protect herself and men beheaded her for it.
That’s actually a really intetesting intpretation of it I hadn’t thought of. Most people seem to think Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon as punishment for defiling her temple, but thinking that she did so to protect her from being abused again is interesting and I like it!
Athena’s hands were tied. Yes, she was a powerful Goddess, but she was very much a woman in a “boys club”, and the true offending party (don’t think for a moment that Athena blamed Medusa for being raped in the temple, Athena knows better) held all the cards. There was nothing that Athena could do to punish the true criminal, and she was expected to punish Medusa by everyone else. What’s a Goddess to do when she cannot punish those who need to be punished and is expected to punish not only the truly innocent party, but her most beloved follower? Use that incredible brain power she had to protect Medusa at all costs, and of course the men would see it as punishment, to be have her beauty stripped from her and sent to live in the shadows. Medusa should have been KILLED for supposedly defiling the temple, whether she truly did or not, but she was given the gift of life, and the ability to protect herself and her daughters (who she bore thanks to Poseidon). This is why Medusa’s image was used to signify woman’s shelters and safe houses.
Medusa means “guardian; protectress”, and she was.
holy shit.
Feministic mythology is what I’m here for
Broke: Medusa was ugly
Woke: Medusa was given the power to protect herself, not punishment
Bespoke: Medusa was also strong as fuck because she had to get rid of a bunch of stone fuckboys that would otherwise clutter up her casa.
I like to look badass so that people make assumptions about me because the moment I open my mouth the illusion vanishes and it becomes obvious that the only thing I’m good at it catching poisonous newts.
and for the record I’m extremely good at catching poisonous newts
I’m talking about a 13 v 1 fight where the whole time Sora is just not amused and ready to get this over with.
I want to see this man make Vexen accidentally freeze Demyx’s water attacks and have larxene slip on them.
Sora takeing Saix’s. Claymore and swinging it right across the guardians face into him then chucking it at Ansem.
This man should be taking marluxia’s scythe just so he can steal Vexen’s shield to bounce back Xigbar’s attacks; then use his shooters to counters Xemnas lasers.
Imagine Rikunort swinging the soul eater at Sora and he catches it with his hand and just looks at him like “Really? I beat you when I was 14.” Then beats him up with it.
Vanitas just gets hit dead center of the his helmet with luxord’s cards and Sora takes his keyblade to go after Young Xehanort.
In the end he uses Terranort’s chains to wrap everyone up.
The whole time Master Xehanort is just looking like “How!?”
Obviously Xehanort was not informed of that one incident when multiple Organization members tried to fight Riku and got utterly wrecked because they don’t know how to work as a team.
But the movie makes a big deal of saying he an incredibly smart eight year old. MENSA- levels of IQ. Some of those traps were ingenious.
One 911 phone call saying ‘Help me.’ All it would have taken for this whole mess to get sorted.
The police come in, take good care of Kevin till the family arrives. Arrest Harry and Marv.
But, no. Kevin chose the dark path of cruel sadism.
Kevin was a Sith
How can anyone both see the Home Alone series, and think gun control will reduce violence?
GIVE👏MINORS👏ACCESS👏TO👏GUNS👏
Let me just come back in defense of Kevin. If Kevin was so smart, he must have known that calling the police would cause his family to get in trouble for leaving him alone at the house. Given Kevin’s other actions in the movie, such as pretending that he was shopping for his mom who was in the car, it seems pretty evident that he took pains to keep adults, even responsible ones, from knowing that he was alone in the house. This shows a distrust of the establishment, and it’s possible that Kevin was even aware (as I was at the age of 8) of the general concept of a CPS investigation. By refusing to call the police, Kevin was acting selflessly to keep his family from being split further. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
A couple of bandits come to rob some poor eight-year-old’s home and you call him a sadist for taking direct action. If some mofos came and invaded the safety of MY domicile you bet your sweet ass I’d concoct the most brutal means of retaliation imaginable to ensure those bastards never set foot in another home ever again.
Broke: Kevin was a sadist
Woke: Kevin didn’t trust the establishment and didn’t want CPS to investigate his parents
Bespoke: Kevin had a God given right to defend his property
Here for all Kevin McAllister theories
Considering that my parents got in trouble when I was around that age for saying that sometimes I would have to sit outside our house for maybe ten minutes ONCE because both parents were working, I can absolutely understand the fear of the CPS.
Every time we take my dogs collar off my mom pets his ears and repeats “you’re nakey!” in a babytalk voice
Fairly certain that’s a universal experience for all human dog owners.
My dog is told “Would you like to wear your jewelry?” And becomes excited. He then chooses which necklace he’d like. He has a few and they all have to have tags on them. I discovered this because I bought him a second collar and he refused it with a sneeze that usually is his equivalent of “fuck you”. I asked him why he didn’t like it. He did a dance. I don’t know how I figured it out, but I remember putting the new collar on him and seeing him still beg for the older one and thinking “there’s got to be a reason”. It occurred to be that he might want a little jingle. So I took an old keychain bauble and put it on his collar and he was so happy I thought he’d leap outside. The whole walk, he pranced around like a prize pig. So I realized that the collar couldn’t be a collar. It had to be a necklace. And now he has a large selection for every season, each with a set of tags that have his name and some sort of jingle decoration.
Sometimes he gets downright picky. He has one that has the Batman symbol on it and he prefers that most of the time, but recently the tags on it broke and he flat out refused to walk until I’d transferred the tags from another collar to it. But he has to choose the tags, and he happened to pick a set that were difficult to remove. But it has to be that pendant on that necklace or he’d piss himself right there in protest.
I couldn’t figure out why small, straightforward tasks on my to-do list felt so impossible. The answer is both more complex and far simpler than I expected.
