i want swordswoman aulea lucis caelum; potty mouth, hothead, reckless, stubborn, littered with scars, trips regis to prevent him from warping so she can take down an enemy herself, expert angler, melts at the sight of cats, would bring down the stars for her friends, died fighting beside the kingsglaive, and was so like her son everyone in the citadel knew it.
Just kh3 thought
Ya know how Riku said he’s leaving his old keyblade quote “for the other me” I just had the thought it could very well be more metaphorical, meaning, someone like him rather than the replica, but just a thought I had rewatching it. Because mickey seems surprised by what he said, annnd pretty sure mickey remembers replica riku.
Mickey never actually encountered Repliku. While his friend card is available in most (if not all, been a while since I’ve played CoM or ReCoM) of the Repliku fights, every encounter with Repliku takes place when Riku is alone, either in the Halls or in the Card Twilight Town. Mickey is nowhere on screen during any of that. YMMV on if people in Friend Cards can see what’s going on around them, but cutscene wise? Nah. He never saw Repliku, and if Riku never spoke of him…Mickey can’t know.
Ain’t that gonna be a fun convo.
Prompt: Niflheim abducts Noctis and uses him as a magic battery! :D
I guess this could be considered mildly AU, and I’m so sorry for the confusing turn this took lol, my brain went a little weird with it. I’m not sure if I’ll put it up on AO3 or not. Maybe? Eventually? Who knooowws XD
Word count: 3680
Rating: T (like a mild T lol)
Warnings: None really, unless you count any mistakes and terrible grammar lol (and maybe mentions of needles? Mentions of a taser being used? Could be considered mild torture, but only very slightly? I don’t know, this is really tame compared to other things I’ve written lololol)-guilt machine-
He
didn’t know how long it had been since he had been brought into
this place. Days, weeks, months.
Time became meaningless after a while, after he was prodded and poked
at and tased to make him more cooperative. It all blended into one
thing, until there was nothing but the pain, the exhaustion, the
frustration. The unconsciousness that kept pulling him under, like a
weight wrapped around his ankle and pulling him down, down,
to drown in it all. His mind became fuzzy with it, until he couldn’t
think past the ringing and the blood roaring in his ears.It
was a shame, because he liked to think he had started out so well. He
had used his training, he had done everything Gladio and Cor had
prepared him for. He had fought in the beginning, when they had first
brought him in. He had punched and kicked and thrown himself around,
warping out of grasping hands, and it had taken several of them at
once to hold him down long enough to tase him until he was
unconscious.And that was where it all went downhill. Once
they had him unconscious, they had strapped him into the machine
waiting for him. And once he was strapped in, there was little else
he could do but thrash in his restraints. He had fought against them,
had pulled at the straps so much that he had nearly dislocated his
arms more than once, had pulled until the wires and needles had
ripped out of his flesh, tearing the skin open. All the while yelling
curses at them and warning them that it wouldn’t be long before the
crownsguard found him, before his dad would make them all pay.They
didn’t care. Not about his threats, or even about him. They just
carried on with their jobs, their faces cold and closed off whenever
they were around him, as if he was a mere object,
one of their test subjects, nothing human or alive.
I’m Not Sorry, But
Riku’s new keyblade is ugly, lazily and poorly designed, and not at all a worthy successor to Way to Dawn.
I really don’t care what made up symbolism you make up in your head about it, nor do I care about your fan-made SPECULATION that it’s a “blank key” meant to transition into his real new one in the near future.
If you like it, fine, but stop pretending everyone has to. It’s lifeless, dull, and not AT ALL on the same level as Fenrir. They literally took a modern house key and lengthened the metal. It’s lame and stands out in the worst ways.
