kingdomheartsThe idea of this post if to create an easy way to share meta and other fannish things without the pressure to create a separate post. You can write your thoughts on a specific character or pairing - detail why X is more awesome than Y or just what makes you think so-and-so are best friends/enemies/lovers. You can share the music you listen to while writing/drawing KH fic and art. You can share what you think about a specific game, from 'not as good as XYZ', to critiques of art and costuming. The key part, though, is to just go ahead and comment.
If there is a topic you think needs to be added to the comment tree, then simply comment in the appropriate place, and let other people tell you what they think.
How it works:
(Top Level Comment:) Characters
Meta or discussion about characters goes here.
|---------------(Reply:) Riku
All musings about Riku start as a reply to this comment. Anything goes,
from motivations and changes in his character over the course of the games
to a critique of his hairstyle. Have fun.
|---------------(Reply:) Hero vs. Anti-hero
Part of Riku's appeal is the contrast he provides to Sora. Sora is cheerful, open, unselfish and
he makes friends with everyone he meets. In contrast, Riku is moody, more inclined to hide his
real feelings, possessive about his friends and suspicious of the motivations of strangers. While
Sora is a genuinely nice person, it's easier to relate to Riku because of these 'flaws'.
|---------------(Reply:) The blindfold is cool.
Very existentialist, but mostly just cool. Goes well with all the black.
Current categories for discussion are:
Characters:
Pairings, friendships and other ships:
Fan Soundtrack:
Games:
Links, recs, and other fannish things:
If you can think of another category you think needs to be added as a top-level comment, then please suggest it by commenting below.
Rules are simple:
1. Use the subject header in your comment, please. This lets people know what they are looking at, and, for the games section, provides spolier warnings.
2. Be civil. You may not agree with somebody's statement about a character or pairing, but no bashing. Just reply to the comment and tell us why. Discussion is the whole point of this post.

Date: 2011-04-25 02:54 am (UTC)Don't save me
Don't save me,
'Cause I don't care
Killswitch Engage - Still Beats Your Name
Who knows how long I've been lost in the dark?
Followed closely by the footsteps of my failures
What can I do to alter my perception
Of the way and truth?
Mudvayne - Forget to Remember
Feeling undone
What have I become?
When I turned my back on you I turned my back on myself and became this machine
Paramore - When It Rains (kind of shippy - Sora/Riku/Kairi, though that might depend on your personal taste)
You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole
And convinced yourself that
It's not the reason you don't see the sun anymore
Peter Gabriel - Darkness
When I allow it to be
there's no control over me
I have my fears
but they do not have me
Peter Gabriel - Sky Blue (Riku/Sora)
Warm wind blowing over the earth
Sky blue
I sing through the land, the land sings through me
Sky blue
Reaching into the deepest shade of
Sky blue
Peter Gabriel - More Than This
I walked until I couldn't walk anymore
To a place I'd never been
There was something stirring in the air
In front of me, I could see
Sting - Mad About You
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
The Verve Pipe - Hero
I'm just a jerk
But a hero's what I wanna be
VNV Nation - Genesis
Breathing in an air
Permeated, soaked in darkness
Emanating from within
Resonating like a scream no one can hear
I wear this chaos well
Though none should save me
Desperation keeps me here
My need for innocence, the place where I began
The abyss becomes me
I wear this chaos well
Re: Riku
Date: 2011-04-25 03:18 am (UTC)Slip Out the Back - Fort Minor
Forget it - Breaking Benjamin.
Riku/Sephiroth
Date: 2011-04-25 12:06 am (UTC)Hope - Apocalyptica (Note - this is the instrumental version. Hope Vol.2 has lyrics, and it changes the sound of it a LOT.)
Riku=Replica
Date: 2011-04-25 01:05 am (UTC)Anyway! Because I only have four songs thus far, I figured I might as well upload them. ^^;;
Disturbed - Pain Redefined
Shaking, burning up with the fever
In the realm of pain, I am the deceiver
Now I lie to myself, so I can believe her
As she disassembles my life
Foo Fighters - Erase/Replace
We made these promises
You made these promises
Erase, replace
Erase, replace
Karnivool - Da-Reka
The pain
Why you wanna step through me
What will go out, she'll see
Nothin left here but the replica
The replica exists here
Muse - Hoodoo (Replica/Naminé)
I will take the blow for you.
Xigbar
Date: 2011-04-25 02:18 am (UTC)I'm not sure why, but this song has always struck me as a good fit for Xigbar. It's probably the line 'I like when the gravity is gone' that first did it, but the attitude... is just perfect. And while it's talking about planes, it seems a little appropriate to Org XIII's situation, too, at least for the original members.
Re: Xigbar
Date: 2011-04-25 02:58 am (UTC)Sora
Date: 2011-04-25 02:25 am (UTC)To The Sky - Maps. Lyrics here, or you can download it here.
It's perhaps less cheerful than I thought, looking at the lyrics - but there's something about its happy, laid-back sound that is very Sora to me. Puns involving names aside.

Date: 2011-04-25 08:46 am (UTC)36 Crazyfists - At The End of August
And through all this life
Smashed away all the strife
A friendship I paint
Untouchable
With A Little Help From My Friends - Original Beatles, Jim Sturgess & Joe Anderson version , and I'm sure there are many many other wonderful covers out there, that's just what I personally have.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm,I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mmm, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.
The Beatles - All You Need Is Love
Nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
It's easy.
All you need is love.
The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright
Depeche Mode - It's Called A Heart
There's a sun shining in the sky
But that's not the reason why
I'm feeling warm inside
The answer isn't classified, it's my heart
Eric Clapton - Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out (+ Roxas)
When you finally get back up on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something.
VNV Nation - Voice (Sora and... well.)
We are not the same
You will hear my voice
VNV Nations - Perpetual (+ much of the main cast, in their own ways.)
No need of sun to light the way
Across the ages, we have reigned as we endured
Through the storm fronts we will ever surely pass
To stand as never-ending light
VNV Nation - Endless Sky
How many years
Since you found yourself
Staring at an endless sky?
VNV Nation - Homeward
I try to find the strength I need
To calm the doubts in my beliefs
With the will, I know my heart won't break
Sora/Riku/Kairi
Date: 2011-04-27 12:04 pm (UTC)if you’re holding out for something
Just reach and we’ll rise above
Give me sun, give me dirt, give me water
Give me sweet everlasting love
Someday I will get around to doing something with this!
