A few more Xions 💖
Revisiting some of Mallverse Xion's old wardrobe because I still love her 😭💕
*comes tumbling out of an overhead cupboard* SOMEONE SAID IT WAS ROKUSHI DAY? Have some Xion marking her territory at Chocobo Coffee.
I’m in a rut with the “¾ back view of Person A grabbing Person B’s face” kiss, but I only ever remember that by the time I’m 80% done with the drawing. oTL
Feeling nostalgic today, and very fond of this picture. How has it been over 8 years?
Have you ever thought about adding any FFXIV characters into this AU?
Thanks for the message! But no I haven't; I don't know anything about that particular game. In general I don't know much about FF, tbqh. In terms of choosing characters to add, I just go by KH cameos and fandom osmosis. Besides a few randos like Zidane and Lightning, I think pretty much all the FF characters here either showed up in KH or are from the same game/movie as someone else who did.
About that ren faire that apparently happens outside Radiant Garden, do you think Xion (and others maybe) does that meme of going dressed as Starfleet officers, like they’ve timetravelled or something. Wait, she’s Tumblr fandom, DOCTOR WHO how could I forget Doctor Who
YES I adore the Doctor Who suggestion, Xion absolutely would. And Roxas because he enjoys being contrary, lol. I'm seeing her as Tennant and him as Smith, for some reason. Though I'm sure they all go to the event multiple times and do different outfits as well 😁
YES GOOD 💕
Now I'm picturing Xion knitting a screen accurate 4th Doctor scarf and talking about how much it drags on the floor when worn. Axel puts it on and is like, "Seems fine to me."

So Scrooge runs a bistro in Twilight Town in KH3, which I'm scooping right up for this AU tyvm. I still love the idea of Daisy's Diner though. But they have two different vibes and towns have lots of restaurants. I imagine the Diner is where the kids tend to go, while the Bistro is more upscale and where adults go for a Nice Dinner™.
Me: Oh my god Tumblr, what did you do to the formatting on these old posts??
Tumblr: 🙂
Me: Well can I at least edit them to fix it?
Tumblr: 🙂🙂
Okay... Who of all these nerds plays DnD and/or is at least into it enough that they listen to podcasts
Thank you! Disclaimer that I've never played or listened to DnD myself, so I apologize for inaccuracies.
Pence is the most into DnD and tends to DM. He's the guy with stacks of rule books from various game editions, and he really enjoys creating mysteries and puzzles. The usual players are the extended Twilight Town gang: Hayner, Olette, Roxas, Xion, and occasionally Axel. Though other kids might pop in at least once to try it or observe.
Olette is the one with the meticulously neat character sheet, who tries her hardest to actually keep the questing on-task. Hayner is naturally her foil, playing the obligatory chaotic rogue. Roxas' character has a really tragic backstory that he brings up way too often. Xion really loves character creation in general, so she dies periodically to switch to a new one (adding to Roxas' character's angst). Axel also has a habit of dying, either by making stupid choices or on purpose because he's bored and wants to leave the game. His enthusiasm for things burns hot but fast, so he could be extremely eager to play one week but need to be guilted into attending the next.
Xion is an ametuer artist and does goofy comics based on their games. Though they all commission Namine for more polished art of their OCs too. Xion is also the one who listens to DnD podcasts the most, because she loves the stories and the sense of vicarious friendship? She was a loner as a kid in this AU, so she likes roundtable type podcasts in general as a comfort thing. She's also the "Tumblr fandom" archetype so she gets into the extended media that spawns from DnD podcasts, such as comics, animations, merch, fanart/fic, etc.
PS, as I was writing this I got deja vu; turns out I touched on it before but with fewer details. Here's that post, for posterity: https://mallverse.tumblr.com/post/88932633017/any-dnd-nerds-or-maybe-even-a-larper
Random as hell question, BUT! Which of the kids it the most likely to blow their entire check/allowance at Spencers?
BLESS AND THANK. Absolutely Hayner 😂

SOMEHOW I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WOULD BE BEFORE IT LOADED AND WHEN IT I SAW THE TITLE AND THAT I WAS RIGHT I LAUGHED SO HARD I FARTED
Happy 8 year and change anniversary to the single funniest post on this entire blog. I just spontaneously remembered it and am now crying in my cubicle
gave myself the giggles thinking whomst would be the most funny performing the "I Love Unicorns" song from Miraculous Ladybug for the battle of the bands 🤭
Had to look that up; honestly kind of a jam?? Idk who exactly would perform it, but it's definitely the sort of thing that some band would be doing in the background while other main cast kids are having drama offstage.
I ended up on Selphie's wikia page for other reasons, but I guess she's pretty into music? With her upbeat personality I can see her singing this unicorn song. Isn't who the rest of her band is though, lol. Maybe Wakka and Tidus to reference their odd combined appearance in KH1. Plus Zidane if they need a fourth; he's around the AU but not in the Battle of the Bands plot yet... 🤔
Wldjdisijvsnfh Tidus, Wakka, and Zidane are all on the lacrosse team, and Selphie is a cheerleader for them. They all wear their uniforms and call their band "Selphie and the Lax Boys"
Random Selphie thoughts based on skimming her wikia:
She runs a school website in FF8, so here she takes point with the online version of the school newspaper (in addition to running her advice column).
She's good with computers in general, so there should be a computer club or programming elective she's in alongside Xion and Pence, my other established computer nerds.
She apparently likes to invent slang and tries to get it to catch on, which is really funny to me and definitely needs to devolve into a "stop trying to make fetch happen" joke.
She's obsessed with trains?? She has a lot of Opinions about the one that runs between Twilight Town and Radiant Garden in this AU. She knows the history and specs of all the trains that have run that route, and will tell anyone who will listen. So far her most enthusiastic audience has been Huey Duck.
Her birthday is July 16th. She's into astrology in this AU so I'm sure she has things to say about that. Oh wow okay I made Sora and Roxas' birthday the summer solstice, and apparently that makes them Cancers instead of Gemini twins by one day. Selphie has things to say about THAT as well.

Oh my god this is such a coincidence! Not long ago I was like 'Hey, remember that blog that made you ship AkuSai? You should check that out again!' And then I see updates! Welcome back! Also on a separate note, if you're thinking about a last name for Donald, have you considered something like Duckworth? It's a commonish last name in the UK you see from time to time. But anyways so happy to see updates here again
HELLO, thank you! :D Yes omigosh the Akusai… I ended up in the tag the other night and wow. The feelings!? Best worst couple. I love those two idiots. 😭
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm probably just going to stick with Duck for now. I mean, I know a dude with the last name Fox, so why not Duck? I used to be more hung up over the fact that Disney definitely exists as a company in this AU, so people would surely notice that their teachers are named after the Mickey Mouse club. But like… maybe it's just an inexplicable Thing and nobody notices/cares due to the natural laws of this reality. Like how in canon everyone is ALARMINGLY chill about giant anthro animals showing up on various worlds that usually have nothing of the sort. Though I am still extremely attached to Mickey and Minnie having the surname Majesty here, so that's definitely staying.
Also there is already a Duckworth in DuckTales as well, lmao. He's Scrooge's Butler.
