I Hate The Whole "It Was All A Dream" Theories But Like, Imagine:

I hate the whole "It was all a dream" theories but like, Imagine:

Sora wakes up from what feels like a dream that has lasted for an eternity. He's in a hospital bed, monitors beeping, and flowers from 3 days ago wilting by his bedside. A balloon tied to the railings of his bed says, "Get Well Soon." Sleeping in the most uncomfortable position on that infamous hospital chair is Riku—his childhood best friend.

Sora coughs out his name, his tongue dry and shriveled in his mouth. Riku opens his eyes, half in the realm of sleep half conscious. At first Riku thinks he hallucinated Sora saying his name---a trick of 3 years of Sora being in a coma and his guilt about it. But then he hears it again, Sora calling out his name with a few coughs in between. When Riku whips his head around to the hospital bed and sees Sora's groggy eyes blinking, he immediately calls a nurse. Sora asks him for water, agitated that Riku is spewing out random shit and asking if he's okay rather than getting him the damn water.

"Where's Kairi?"

"I just called her. She'll be here soon."

Sora asks where The King, Donald, and Goofy is, and Riku just looks at him confused.

"Who's the King?"

"You know," Sora takes a moment to cough as the nurse checks his vitals. "Mickey."

"Mickey????" Riku pieces together 'Mickey, Donald, and Goofy' in his head. "You mean Mickey Mouse???????"

"Yeah. The King."

"You mean like,,,, Mickey Mouse Club House????"

"The King has a clubhouse? Why wasn't I invited?"

"...I'm glad you're still a Disney adult, Sora."

It takes a while for Sora to fully recover. He has to relearn how to walk, talk, eat, all of his general and fine motor skills. All the while, Sora explains the entire plot of Kingdom Hearts to Riku and Kairi. The keyblade, the darkness, Ansem (who happened to be their science teacher back in highschool), and Xehanort (Riku's boomer landlord his first year in college).

At times Sora still tries to summon a keyblade. But the light and darkness, the magic and the danger of heartless do not exist in this world. He watches Mickey Mouse Clubhouse to fill the severed connection to Donald and Goofy. Riku jokingly calls him a baby, and Sora laughs about it, but he can't help but feel empty inside.

All those lives he touched, all those people he met. Figments of his comatose imagination.

I hopped in my completed KH2 save file just for a little nostalgia boost. And uh, y'all, 😭 in the "Proof Of Existence" room, the 13 gravestones of each organization member get destroyed once they die, right? Why is Ienzo's smashed to bits?! Like unrecognizable. I nearly forgot who went there because there's literally NO indicator.

Presuming it's Xemnas destroying the gravestones, why would he get so angry over Zexion? Am I missing something? Am I forgetting? During Xemnas's reign as Ansem, Ienzo would be a child no older than 10 😭 and Zexion was loyal to Xemmy so wtf? 😭

Love how we as a collective (the KH fandom), just kinda ... Glossed over the fact that Riku turned into a black man for like 2/3rds of a game 😭

My niece was so confused cause she loves Riku just as much as I do. So, I tried to explain it to her.

Me: So that guy Riku turned into was Ansem Seeker of Darkness

Niece: Okay?

Me: And he took over Riku thru the darkness---

Niece: And the darkness transferred to his skin 🤨

Me: 💀 no... Wait....
