Its usually not cannon. Upcoming series The Lion Guard will have a grown up Simba with a son when he already had a daughter in the 2nd film. and the fans are not best pleased about that. If it makes money and people like it, its cannon, if it doesn't then its not. The sequels usually are, the TV series usually are not. The TV series usually take their own stories, like a collection of fan fictions bought to life.

My mouse pointer. No it was, well as someone who doesn't visit here too often, I sometimes check out people's profiles as they sometimes have links to stuff they have made. Also since I don't really know anyone here, it helps me learn more about people, right? I enjoyed looking through the community timeline!

I dunno. I mean if I buy something and somebody wants to buy it from me for a pretty large mark up, I'd probably sell it to them. Otherwise I'd be at the cinema wandering how on Earth they can charge £6 for popcorn that's £1 elsewhere. I think its a bit petty to buy things like Amiibo or videogames just to sell the limited edition ones on for profit to some fan who missed out just because you bought one to sell in the first place. But at the same time, if I had bought one of the PS4 20th anniversary editions for £400 I believe they were... Would I have put it in Ebay? Yep. Those things were going for literally thousands, that's just too much easy and legal money to not consider. So hmmm, sometimes I'm against it, sometimes I'm not too bothered. Its not something I would partake in though.

Herro!

A/N: Hi. I had a bit of a rough sleep last night and so I woke up pretty early today. For some reason this idea popped into my head when I was listening to music (you'll never guess what I was listening to). So I present to you the first piece of KH inspired creative writing I have written in a good two years or so. I may be a little rusty so C&C would be welcomed! Enjoy. My Enemy The feeling came when Riku least expected it. Being able to keep the darkness within him locked away, he was able to feel it creeping up inside his heart. A feeling of suffocation, like chains were wrapped around his heart, pulling it deeper into the abyss. Every moment that passed, the feeling became stronger. Leaking from his heart and coursing through the rest of his body, like a swirl of energy travelling from head to toe, swaying back and forth. The sensation ran through his soul like a river but it would also reside most deeply where he had learned to trap it, within his heart. “How?...” The deep voice in his head asked him. “How are you doing this?” “Ansem... Simple. I'm not afraid of the darkness. And unlike you, I don't surrender to it either.” Riku answered. Enraged but never one to be defeated so quickly, Ansem, much like his human self, Xehanort, always had a back up plan. And in this case he would use her. Her. The one Riku had dived deep into the darkness to rescue in the first place. At the cost of both her heart and Sora's. The one Riku had told himself he had to forget and whose contact dwindled over the past year, never because he forgot about her but because he couldn't forget about her. Her who Riku had blocked out for so long that he almost could not match her fact to her name anymore. Kairi. Riku froze in his tracks, dropping to his knees and slammed the way to the dawn into the ground in frustration. Another secret that Riku had kept to himself, his feelings for her could now be used against him. Ansem had access to his heart and everything connected to it. He knew all about Riku and used the boy's memories against him. Except for the one memory that even Ansem could not access, Riku as a young child talking to a man on Destiny Islands, the man looked familiar but Ansem could not recognize him or see clearly what was happening at the time, but it angered him when he tried to access the memory. “How does it feel knowing you lack the power to save her?” Ansem asked Riku. But Riku knew that she was waiting for him and Sora to return home. In the meantime, he could not let Ansem use his friends against him like this. Placing the memories at the back of his mind he pushed himself up to his feet again, he was in Castle Oblivion after all, the realm of twilight, a place where Riku felt he belonged are both rejecting darkness and being rejected by light. Denying The Rising Ansem left Riku for a moment, to join with his nobody, Xemnas. Xemnas and the rest of the Organisation had Namine and she would be a vital part of their plan. She had the power to control the memories of Sora and those connected to his heart. “News?" Xemnas turned his attention towards his heartless self. Talking with a version of his own self was something he was becoming accustomed to, he never trusted or had the time for anybody else anyway. “He's not submitting.”Ansem said. “My attempts to reach out to the darkness in him, collapse under the light.” The air was silent between the two of them for a moment. Ansem turned to Namine, she spent all her time in the white room, so that's where they had to go to giver her orders. “Bring her in!” Ansem demanded. Riku had just finished fighting a group of heartless. But it didn't take a long for the surge of darkness to return to his heart. Only this time... Itch, itch. Something in his mind. He hated her. She was a means to an end and nothing more. And as for Sora, some best friend he turned out to be, he stole everything away from Riku. The Keyblade, his trust, his friend. Everything but the darkness. “What is?---” Riku's voice broke away mid sentence “They are your enemy.” Ansem finished it for him. Something's happening Mind distracting My pulse is raising The darkness fuelled by the hate, hate towards those who he fought so hard for only to be betrayed in the end. Riku was not an addict but he knew what it was like to have something you care about so much ripped away from your life like that. He needed something to fill the void left by his friendships being destroyed. “Arghhhh!” Only noise came out as Riku let the darkness devour him. Mental Torture Can't escape the paranoia The Way to The Dawn took a different form. The sharp edges, the dark grey colours and legendary demonic face etched just above the handguard. This was master Xehanort's keyblade. Riku was no longer himself. “Now. We will rid you of those who have hurt you. They are your enemy now!” Riku said to himself, his physical appearance and voice had changed. He was Ansem now. He lied to me He's hates me He lied to me He's using me He's dead to me Sora, he is my enemy! And with that Ansem opened up a portal to the dark corridor. Riku was going to find Sora and all the rest of them. One by one they will all fall to his Keyblade. Namine knew what she had done, she could only watch the events unfold now, she felt the same pain inside her that she had caused onto Sora and his friends. But she had a plan. No. She wouldn't let them use her like this. Not again. She began to draw a picture in her notepad. She wasn't the best drawer but her drawings had the power to instil memories in other people. A picture that was worth more than a thousand words. As she finished the drawing, she smiled at it. Sora, Riku and Kairi, sitting on the shoreline of Destiny Islands, watching the waves. The thought of pone day having friendships as strong as that herself made her happy. Ansem was in the corridor of darkness, betwixt and between. When he suddenly felt it. The feeling came when Ansem least expected it. Being able to keep the light within him locked away, he was able to feel it creeping up inside him. Like chains of light around a heart of darkness. “What?!” “No! No not now!” Ansem put his hand over his chest, exactly where his heart would be. The memories came flooding back to him. Friendship. An unbreakable bond between the three that even darkness could not consume. Riku, just like Terra before him, did everything he could to fight for that bond. The light shined bright within him. Ansem had not seen a light as blinding as this since he opened Kingdom Hearts was was equally as stunned that it was there at all. If I speak with human elegance and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I have faith to say to a mountain jump and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. If I give all I earn to the poor Or even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr But I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere So, no matter what I say, no matter what I believe, no matter what I do I’m bankrupt without love. Riku had done it, he had taken back control of his mind, his heart and his body. But the internal struggle was not yet over. Ansem was still floating in front of him. The two squared off, facing each other, not one of them blinking or moving breaking eye contact. Ansem, though furious, stood with his arms folded, he knew it was just a matter of time. “Such a fool. Fight back as much as you want, your heart will eventually betray you. Every light must fade. Every heart return to darkness!” And Ansem, having used the last of his power, faded into the dark abyss. Riku knew he would be back. But for now he had love and friendship to fight for. Darkness was his only enemy.

Just to be myself more. Working out quite well for me so far

Well, they did recently confirm that it definitely will not be releasing this year, if that's classified as "news"

Then she has nothing to lose by rejecting you. Still, besides that... You already said that you don't know what you want from your future and neither does she, right? What then is the point of being in a relationship, only to realize your future no longer lies with this person and have to end it? No one knows what their future holds but you should always have a dream in life to aim toward and until you both have that and it's well aligned, THEN you are ready for a relationship. I dated a girl who was unsure about her future once, the problem is that when you don't know what you want in life, you "settle" in a relationship with someone who ultimately isn't the right person for you, which of course only ends badly in the end... Honestly dude, what I would do if I were you is work on myself and try and find something you really want to do with your future and then find someone who fits in with that... IF it's still her, go for it, if not, by all means stay friends but not every girl you have feelings for is supposed to be your partner in life... Just something to bear in mind . Hang out and have fun with girls while you are young, the "loving" and actual relationship part comes later on in life.

Nomura said that Sora would be the main character, but that doesn't necessarily mean he will be the playable character. He wasn't playable in Birth By Sleep but was still important.

I reckon at E3 they will announce a release date, some kind of super special edition box thing with HD 1.5, 2.5 and mayyyybeee Dream Drop Distance included, followed by a new KH3 trailer.

A TV remote control that allowed me to mess with time. I'm not sure why but the power of time manipulation has always been a thing to me, it's like you'd constantly be in control and you could really psyche out an opponent if you knew stuff about their future / past too... Which is something the Organization are quite good at.

I made a switch from iPhone to Android (Sony Xperia Z1) aside from the camera and bigger screen, pretty much everything else was better on iPhone, including reliability. Although my iPhone broke because I dropped it down the toilet and apparently my new phone is water proof... Haven't tried dropping it down the toilet yet but - there's that I suppose.

Soooo... Find better company? Honestly dude, it sounds to me like you are doing way too much to seek the approval of other people. You don't even care about yourself, so why should anyone else? It's the same reason why the "Mr.Nice Guy" gets rejected by the girl he likes - he becomes so interested in her and constantly doing insecure stuff seeking her approval that eventually she just goes "Eh" and walks away. What you should be doing is loving yourself and your own life because that's how you meet people who are out there doing the same thing and those are the people you want to spend time and energy on, those will be your real friends in life. Making friends and meeting people who care about you is effortless if you already care about yourself. That's why it is so important you just live and enjoy life, go out and do stuff and you will find people just walk into it who care. If you are doing something you enjoy and meet someone whilst doing it, how is it possible for you not to like each other at least a bit? And then you build friendships from there. Like Fall Out Boy said "You are what you love, not who loves you"

Show her the OP of this thread it says more about how important she is to you and how much you appreciate her than the other options do. And also it tells her that you do really like her but you know it wouldn't be right to be with her so you're just glad to have her as a friend, if I can get that from reading that post then she should as well ^^. If not, just ask yourself what you would be most comfortable and happy doing and go from there I guess.

I don't expect to learn too much more about the story and what might happen, I think that there will be more of a focus on gameplay, new enemies and an idea of how the online will work (because I do think it will end up having one). Yeah there is still a ton of stuff they have to answer for in regards to how the game will actually play, I think they will spend most of the year showing that and talking about them. Then 2015 would be more focused on the story, have trailers with actual cutscene clips etc and give us fans more hints to speculate on what will happen.

His heart is destroyed by killing all his clones (like the horcruxes) and then a final battle against his lingering spirit (NoHeart). It would be cool if he actually succeeds in his plans, recreates the Keyblade war and is killed because of / during it. It could also pave way for a new villain saga since everything would be "reset" back to an equal darkness and light balance.

Not play the game. It was always going to be on either PS3 or 4. Honestly though it is probably still two years+ away...

Disney bought Lucas huh? I shall look forward to fighting Darth Vader in KH3 / KH2.8butnotquitethreeyet

I loved Awake; this new one is going to have to be amazing to beat it. Will be nice to hear some new stuff from them, either way. EDIT - Those previews are sounding really good...

Like most popular things on YouTube; I can't stand him or any of his "videos" I'm glad YouTube make it easy to ignore channels you don't like, though!

Well, I sure did write a thing. This is of course Sora, Donald and goofy arriving at a new world during the KH1 timeline. The world is based on Disney / Pixar’s Cars. I wanted to write the whole story in one sitting but I thought it would work better and be easier to read as chapters in the end. Each chapter should be quite short, because I want it to be accessible to as many people as possible So enjoy, C&C and all that good stuff. Chapter I: Just Warming Up Trapped in a never-ending darkness, his mind wandered through the memoires of her. “Come on lazy bum, wake up!” the voice rang inside his mind, clear enough to put visual images of her together. That red hair that flowed in the wind, and her oceanic blue eyes. Sora was thinking about Kairi again, he often did as he travelled between worlds and adjusted to each one. “Don’t ever forget, wherever you go. I’m always with you” the memories continued to play, echoing and becoming less and less audible “It’s my luck charm, be sure to bring it back to me! Right, Sora?” by the time she had said his name, the images had faded completely. There was no more sound, nothing but the black abyss. “Sora?” A familiar voice said. “Soooora?” said the other. Sora opened his eyes, and regained his composure, his eyes adjusted to what was around him. In a patch of grass, ahead of him were two cars. Completely able to talk, they had feelings, they looked like other beings, reincarnated as cars. Sora moved forward to approach them, as he did it felt bizarre, almost as if he was gliding forward across the grass, the quicker he went, the louder the roar of an engine could be heard. “Donald, Goofy?” he said. And the two cars turned entirely 180 degrees to face him. “Sora! What the heck happened to us?” Said the blue car. It was sleek in it’s design. It had white racing stripes across the body and the number 03 printed on the left and right front panels, though it was also less aerodynamic than any race car Sora had seen. “Errr, I guess in this world we have to be cars. We can’t be ourselves in some worlds because it would be mud-“ he cut himself off “meddling” he correct himself. Receiving a cold glance from the blue car. Goofy was significantly different in design to the other two. He was more of a racing truck than a racing car. He was yellow in colour scheme and his paint seemed to reflect light more than most. It was so reflective Sora could see himself in the paint. “Looking good, guys!” Sora said, admiring his own sports car appearance in the reflection. Watching the grills of himself and his friends move when they spoke, and the front lights blinked occasionally as if to represent eyes. Being so low to the ground made moving around seem even faster than usual. “So like, do you two know where we are? I guess I was asleep back there.” Sora asked his companions. “Well, the speakers keep saying that this here arena we are in is the Piston Cup. So maybe there is a race coming up” Goofy explained, he was always more observant than the other two even though his appearance suggested otherwise, even here in a world inhabited by vehicles. “A race?!” Sora shouted “Cool! Maybe we can enter, or at least meet some of the other racers!” “Come on, let’s head to the pits!” Sora was excited, he had always loved racing his friends on Destiny Islands and now had a chance to race at a real high octane level. “Oh, boy...” Said Donald hesitantly as the three of them accelerated off, flicking up blades of grass and leaving tire tracks. The way to the pits was just in front of them, but to get there they would have to cross the race track, which other drivers were currently practising on. It was a large oval track, the only purpose seemed to be to go as fast as possible, and pit in at wise times to finish first. Some cars were talking with their teams about pit strategies, others were talking trash to their competitors “My first car in Gran Turismo was faster than you!” shouted one of them. But this was still a living World. And as such it would have heartless around somewhere. They would surely interfere with the race and capture the hearts of the other race cars.

Give a bit of focus on how the characters feel when they are around each other versus when they are not. For example does the character act differently around his love than when he is not? What goes through their minds when they connect and such, and how does each character change by finding love? Those are the types of things (if anything) that would entice me to read a romance story...

Because it makes people post the story on blogs and forums, giving them a lot of extra views.

Well, there has been a lot worse examples of perverted videogames... Most of which made no effort to attempt to cover it. (no pun intended) I don't think its a big deal tbh. And at least getting my character to kiss girls in "Canis Canem Edit" for health boosts was more interesting than generic health pick ups.

Yeah my mum and sister ask me some times...Is it wrong that I usually just tell the truth and say "Some guy from a Kingdom Hearts forum."? =D
