Emperor's New Groove world. Kuzcotopia? Maybe you'd get temporarily changed into a llama along with Kuzco, because Yzma has to knock you both out or else you'd tell. >D

=3 I got on today hoping for an early leak of information. That's how excited I am?

I'm lesbian, so no cookie, really. We're all pretty supportive and friendly here, though. I'm sure he'll find someone nice to talk to about similar interests eventually.

Well done. More Vanitas-themed pieces need to be written with the perspective of the novel in mind. I wish I had more to say, but it's late... -w-~

Chrome. Because Firefox is slow as hell on all my friend's computers. I recently got my girlfriend to use Chrome instead and now that's all she uses, too.

....never Facebook. Because on Facebook, I'd have to create a whole fake identity just to use it. Why? Because my family is very, say, close? And I don't need all 500 of them from the reunion ever four years breathing down my neck over the fact I'm a lesbian. It's not anonymous enough.

21. I think the poll should have separated 10-20 into 10-15 and 15-20 just for more insight into the exact demographics.

8D You are so right. In fact, you should learn how to hack into the PCs and just start letting Pokémon go.

You could teach art, definitely... otherwise? Exactly everything you can do without one. In the art world, your portfolio of what you have done speaks just as much volume. If people like what they see when you submit it, they won't even care if you have a major in it. You can't exactly say that about any other major. You can prove you can do art without having to show a degree. You can't show you have a major in say, biochemistry, with just a portfolio - but you can with art. Just keep that in mind: you definitely do not need a degree to be a professional artist. But degree or no degree, it's hard to get a job in art. Even professional artists have to take on second careers. =/ You may want to devote your schooling to something else and this is coming from a fellow artist.

I prefer our current fixed layout. The fluid one stretched out on my wide laptop screen only makes short news posts like that look... short. Okay, that's a bad reason. Nope, can't explain it. I just like how it is now.

An eleven and twelve year olds on today's birthdays.....
ssceles replied to Sora96's topic in Random & Forum Games
o3o I hate to be a hypocrit here but I've been using the internet since I was 9 or so. But then again, that's my generation. This was before 'lol' existed. Before lol even existed. Before google existed. And I'm only 21. I can't say for sure if the internet was safer for me, as a 9 year old then, than it would be for a 9 year old nowadays. But either way, any kid is going to be exposed to stuff online. And you know? It's probably not a bad thing. I turned out just fine. *shrug* Parental supervision? What's that? Back in the day my parents hardly understood the device I had to use at school everyday. They may have bought the computer but I was the one who used it. They relied on their child to teach them about it. I'm not going to tell kids what they should and shouldn't be doing on a computer. Especially not if its stuff I was doing then. -
Is grammar THAT big of a deal on this website?
ssceles replied to Key2Oblivion's topic in Random & Forum Games
In addition to what I said earlier: I realize this site largely attracts kids. For those of us who were Sora's age when KH1 first came out, do you realize how old we are now? Early twenties. My generation is different than the generation of new 10-16 year olds who are just now getting into it. I dislike the chatspeak, which honestly has little to do with grammar and that seems to be a big miscommunication here, but I ignore how other users type on this site in particular because I realize that I'm dealing with children. Most of my generation has left the scene, and the ones who haven't are the ones who end up running and managing sites like this. But then again there are people much younger than me acting as moderators here and it's because they show a level of maturity that stands out. I don't have the patience to correct you when you aren't even trying, so I'm not one of the people who complain over how you type to your face. -

ssceles replied to Key2Oblivion's topic in Random & Forum Games
Grammar is one thing. Typos are another. Intentional chatspeak? That annoys me. I'll ignore how they typed and answer their question no matter what, so long as I can understand it. But I won't complain because I'm tired of wasting my time trying to encourage them not to type a child. I can't take someone seriously if they won't take the time to at least look mature. I understand all of us will occasionally toss in some lols and acronyms, for the fun of it, but it's just bad to do that to a complete stranger. It leaves a very bad first impression. =/ If you wanna add some silliness to your speech pattern, that's cool and all, but at least try and do it with capitalized starts of sentences and proper punctuation. I'd prefer all the appropriate letters exist in all your words, too. But I'm not going to waste my time complaining. It's your own choice to look like an idiot, who am I to criticize your decision? -
Birth by Sleep definitely rocks my socks. Then again, I approached the card battle system in re:CoM as a fun challenge. It's not the easiest thing to master, and I appreciate the difficulties associated with it. I enjoy Birth by Sleep commands because they're easiest, but that's just sad, in a way. The controls relied on button mashing to unleash your most powerful attacks, rather than the thoughtful strategy of linking higher numbered cards together. I enjoyed Birth by Sleep for it's plot but honestly? It could have been harder. Yeah it's controls were awesome... at making the game a cakewalk.

You could go with her but make it clear you're just going as 'friends'. It's on a trial basis to see if she's worth forgiving any time ever. But even if you can't forgive someone that doesn't mean you can't turn the other cheek and give them a chance. It may not coincide with your better judgement to just stay away from her and the trouble she brings, but if more trouble starts, then you can just feel even better about your decision to wash your hands of her completely. If she brings up more trouble, then maybe you'll stop being attracted to her.

Ansem. >3 Destiny Islands. Hmmmm.... Beast. Without him and without my Keyblade I would have been Heartless food. >_>
-
Agreed. Metal and then alternative stuff that isn't on the radio for me. I can fall under 'Rock' as a catchall, but when your Rock starts to tiptoe into hip hop, pop and rap... eh... it's no longer rock enough for me. I need my guitar solos and old groups I used to like have become mainstream and have sold themselves out so far I don't even want to listen to them anymore.
-
Yeah, that's what I thought all along. They just assumed how they were obtained (whereas, I don't really care how they were obtained... I mean, sure, they want to be all high and mighty with their 'we don't support the use of roms' and that's great and all, but they didn't have to point fingers - meanwhile, I was all 'rom? where!'). I had a handful of reasons for coming here instead, but the behavior of both the staff and the members over there is what inevitably drove me away - but I was gone for good about the time they stopped showing recent forum posts on the main page. I'm glad we have that feature over here. I'm not a forum fanatic and I don't keep up to date on things - but so long as I can see active topics, I'm likely to join in.
-
I found out about this site around the time people over at KHInsider were complaining about cutscenes being taken from the rom of 358/2 Days and pitching a fit. Unsure of when that was... and I'm not a huge forum person so I didn't join until the beginning of this year. o3o

Some people are of the idea that Xehanort's Heartless is both Emblem and Pureblood. Apprentice Xehanort (ala Terra!nort) would have two hearts in his body, so I don't think the concept of more than one Heartless being glued together could be too far off. The body itself is the Emblem, as that never seems to leave him, and the Guardian would be the Pureblood. Stabbing yourself with the Keyblade the way MX did made Sora a Heartless, so here's a thought, was he a Heartless inside Terra's body, the Guardian from the beginning? Why, yes. Wasn't the Guardian involved in that last fight? But the body itself was not an 'Emblem' or any sort of Heartless yet. Then again, the body could have fallen to darkness quite normally later on but I suppose we'll never know. He could just wear the emblem as a symbol of his leadership over the Heartless.

=3 I'm not changing sides at all. Roxas identifies only as himself. Ven is not Roxas because Ven is asleep. Roxas is a memoryless Ven. Memories, as we agreed on, are what make a person who they are. I'm saying that Ven's heart is inside Roxas. Because he doesn't have any memories, he may as well be Ven #2. He's still running on the same heart that powered Ven's existence, so when Ven is restored, will he remember being Roxas? Will Ven remember being Vanitas? Ven didn't even remember himself when Vanitas was split away from. But he was still part of himself in his own original body. This time it is different - he's got Sora's body, but because his heart is there, he looks like himself. But then again, he doesn't even know who he is. Sora's body with Ven's heart in it gets called Roxas and so Sora's body with Ven's heart is Roxas. Body is an entirely different matter. I do not believe that Ven's actual body is Roxas in any way at all. I believe that Roxas may have -began- in Castle Oblivion, possibly even staring at Ven's actual body, and possibly even being lucid enough to remember he was Ven. He then probably tried to leave to find out what was going on and - by that time - Kairi restored Sora, and Roxas was officially memoryless and that's why he was found so far away from Namine, who was indeed found in Castle Oblivion.
-
Put it this way: You can say it all you like that Roxas is not Ven because Roxas does not have Ven's memories. Ven did not have his own memories when Vanitas was split away from him, but he was still Ven. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck... its a body that looks like Ven with Ven's heart inside it without memories. So not for the first time, Ven's heart was memoryless, stripped away from darkness, and he has to learn who he is all over. This time, he was given a new name. If Ven is restored will he remember his time as Roxas? On that note, Heartless eating hearts and all... I believe that perhaps only the light is taken, and the darkness remains. If the darkness from Ven's heart, Vanitas, stayed behind with Sora's heartless, that accounts for the anti form later on. Ven's light escaped like the princesses hearts of pure light did. We have reasons for what we believe, we really do. We don't have enough evidence to support it as fact, no, but there's equally not enough to disprove it.
-
Yes. Ven is not Roxas. And I never said he was. He doesn't have Ven's memories. Then again, Ven didn't even have his own memories after Vanitas was torn away from him. =/ Memories play a large part in making someone who they are. I'm also seeing a continuing theme that darkness remembers better than light does (the novel having Vanitas as remembering his life prior to his split off, whereas Ven never did, and, Ansem the Wise dabbling with darkness in his experiments to help Xehanort recover his memories, prior to knowing how bad that could turn out). (Unrelated but interesting note, Xion takes Ven's form when confronted by Xigbar. I'm still curious about that. )
-
Ven's heart.... stayed.... in Sora... when he stabbed himself. But Sora became Roxas, therefore, Ven is in Roxas. Roxas acted like he had a heart because he indeed did have a heart inside him. That's basically exactly what I said as option three. The same option three which everyone tends to disagree with: Ven not being Roxas and all. My entire point was basically that: Roxas kind of has to have Ven in him. =/ I do like the way you've put this, Kairi giving Sora a Sora-shaped body (as she remembered it, of course) as a house. It's much like MX giving Vanitas form from darkness, and the emblem Heartless having artificial bodies. This would indeed make sense. *Anyway.* I don't personally believe Vanitas was destroyed (as that would have outright killed Ven), only neutralized, because Ventus is not dead, only comatose. If Ven is woken up, Vanitas will wake up. Possibly even in control of Ven's body, as he was when he fought Aqua. =/ Ven doesn't like his darkness so he latches to Sora's darkness. Ven is Sora's light, Sora is Ven's darkness. Vanitas is then Sora's darkness, and Sora is Vanitas' light. Sora is just a go-between conduit, and that's what's best for everyone. Vanitas' death did not feel very final, especially in comparison to other characters whose 'deaths' did feel final and ended up not (I'm looking at you, Xehanort's Heartless and your giant blast of light to the face). /not fact whatsoever, just personal thought
-
It doesn't make it... not so, either. Hell, this person could be completely right and we just don't know it yet. No, there's no proof. Just like there was no proof MX took over Terra's body but WOOPS, called that. *rolls eyes* It's too up in the air to solidly agree or disagree. I think Vanitas is coming back because he was a vital part of Ventus to begin with. If Ventus is restored to be with a restored Terra and Aqua, he can't have Vanitas inside him, or else he'd be back in a state of memory loss. He just wouldn't be the same person if he had to be himself and Vanitas in one body. I'd personally like to blame Vanitas for the inbalance in Sora that allowed the anti drive form to appear. As for Kairi restoring Sora's heart... if Sora held Ven and Kairi's hearts... we have one of two issues: One, Ven's heart WAS released but could NOT have been returned when Kairi restored Sora because no one even knew about Ven. Or, Two: Ven's heart WAS NOT released because he no longer has one. Hey, that could be a big problem, because if not even a Keyblade could rip Ven out of Sora, how will Ven ever be restored? Because neither issue is on the end of things we want, it's just as easy to believe option three: Roxas has Ven's appearance and his heart. Not his memories, so he is indeed Roxas and not Ven, but that's completely arbitrary.
