Quit fooling around by ~KohakuUme6 on deviantART

Very nice Photoshop job! Well, assuming it is a Photoshop piece.

Hope you're having a Merry Christmas!

Here, have a couple of Axels:

Right Here! Merry Christmas!

Persona 4

Thanks to a VERY annoying race Terra has to go through, BBS was eaten by Person 4. So, here's a gorgeous pic of Axel:

Axel!

Hmmm...I don't think Axel is all that laid back.

Which Organization XIII Character Are You? -- Axel by ~LiquidBloom on deviantART

WINNER!

Roxas won the prize! Congrats! 358/2 is picking up a little more now. Demyx still seems very distant. Almost like he's talking to Roxas for the sake of doing it, and then just doing whatever he wants. He is with Saix when Xion finally went with Roxas though. Interesting. Maybe a coincidence.

Axel is now at Castle Oblivion and seems to think that Saix is being decietful about certain orders.

I do find 358/2 a little difficult to control sometimes. I think it would work on the PS3 because the controls are different. What works on a big console can be awkward on a handheld. Then again, I have yet to start Birth By Sleep, so who knows?

Anyway, Roxas is now with Xion and they must deal with a powerful enemy. Fun.

Lovely Kingdom Hearts Pic

This looks amazingly real. Just incredible. I can see them jump out of the page! LOL! Interesting how protective Sora is of Roxas. Nice touch.

Re: Chain of Memories commentary: Vexen is VEXING

Took long enough, huh? Like, many many MOONS. But, with 358/2 just beginning, I figured, why not come back to this. It's time to catch up a wee bit! :D Comments will be numbered because it's easier that way. Then again, I've always done that.

1. I can't really stress this enough, but there is a reason why Vexen is 1. That one Boss on TV Tropes and 2. On my Top Ten Epic battles list. GRAGH. A lovely battle though. Vexen is a delight to watch in combat. All that lovely white and blue. Eh, they should have sent a poet.

2. Nice Vexen card.

3. Put Riku back? Apparently, he's a toy.

4. HOLY Balls! Axel! Honestly, this was much better than in the Japanese version, but I still feel like the GBA COM was the best one. Axel was MUCH more brutal in that version. "Now you can say I don't respect my elders!" Slice, dice, julienne Vexen! This doesn't happen in this version, but LORDY "Good-bye" and the WAY he said it knocked the Japanese version out of the ballpark! Axel looked like he wanted to BBQ Vexen. BAHAHAHHA!!

5. I can't believe Larxene EVER questioned Axel's, well, anything really. ERrrrr...she keeps "laying hands" on him and he keeps looking like he wants to KILL HER. Larxene: It'll be like child's play with the three of us.Axel: No, just me.

6. And heeeeeere's Riku! Or, his replica with fabricated memories. Not that Sora knows that. Either way, Riku is FIERCE in combat.

7. How can two people have the same memory? Well, if they were in the same place at the same time... . Oh yea, ask Namine. I'm sure she'll help. :D Oh no...Sora!? Fools rush in where wise men fear to tread, boy!

8. Oh no. Namine is alone with Axel, and yea, he knows what buttons to push. We know you're ENJOYING this, meanie! "This'll be a hell of a show", indeed. "Something else"? I'm not so sure about that one. ;)

9. I never thought about it until now, but isn't Sora the victim of gaslighting? Messing with his memories, giving misinformation,misleading him, tricking him? When I first saw/played this game, I never even thought of such a term. Interesting that it comesup NOW. Gaslighting is a pretty evil thing to do to someone, ORG 13. Eh, like they care.

10. Grindfest at Destiny Islands. Hooray!

Hopefully, I'll come up with some better commentary later. I'm a bit rusty with this game! :)

Happy Axel/Demyx day!

620th post

Just promoting a community that's been a bit quiet for awhile.



Some other comms on Dreamwidth are starting up their rounds a bit, so expect some more Kingdom Hearts stuff during the summer. Well, some graphics at the very least.

*sigh*

I actually thought TODAY was Tuesday. Lol! So, I ended up going over again because I forgot the date. Heh.

Anyway, I found out about Axel's REAL name. It's surprise, but I won't say it to those who don't know what it is. I actually figured it was THAT for quite some time.

Then again, there weren't many possible combos of his name without the "x" anyway.

Lae
Ale
Ela
Eal
Lea
Ael

And that's all I could come up with. So, everyone had a 1 in 6 chance of being right.

No Comebacks (possible spoilers)

Still taking a little hiatus with Chain of Memories thanks to Shadow Hearts: From the New World, but as an intermission, there is something I'd like to mention before I start up again:

"No Comebacks".

I actually thought of it a couple years ago in "Skies of Memory" after Axel told Marluxia that "You can't take it back". Worked even better towards the end of the game when he shot it all back at Marluxia, "You DID say to eliminate all traitors! I always obey orders!"

Again, "No Comebacks. There are no comebacks in assassination."

So, why am I talking about this? Because "No Comebacks" is a Frederick Forsyth short story about a Corsican assassin and how he goes about doing what he is hired to do. What makes the story so memorable is that it's a taste of just how good Forsyth is at showing the reader how assassins, spies, soldiers, agents, etc DO their jobs. He does this in ALL his novels/short stores. What makes "No Comebacks" stand out is the cruel irony near the end. Someone hires the Corsican to kill a rival(husband of the woman he loves), and quite simply, the job is done. The cruel irony comes when Mr. Someone's beloved walks into the room after the rival is killed. I don't think I need to say what happens after that. When Mr. Someone discovers this, he is, of course, horrified, but the Corsican says, "There are no comebacks in assassination".

That's the gist of it. The story itself is MUCH better than I described. So, what does this have to do with Axel? Two things:

1. Axel IS an assassin. That's his job in the Organization.
2. The cruel irony of the "killing all traitors" being used against Marluxia AND, by extension, Larxene.

Yea, "You can't take it back".

No Comebacks.

Heh. I need to read that story again sometime.

Roxas and friends

Most of the news on 358/2 is scans, and http://www.khinsider.com/ has them as mostly thumbnails for the time being. However, that's not why I finally have a new post here. It has to do with the latest blurb where Axel and Roxas are talking with Haynor, Pence, and Olette. In a way, I find it sad because, well, what happened in KH2. Roxas is with the "Forgotten Three", but has no memory of Axel. Looks like all those in Twilight Town are pretty much the same.

Axel knows them all, but they forgot about him. Roxas only remembered at a certain point. I know that no ones knows what was being said, but I'd rather not imagine what it's like to remember friends only to find that they have basically becomes enemies because they don't recognize you. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it phazed Axel much, but I guess it's just the idea. Course, I'm assuming that Axel got along with Haynor, Pence, and Olette.

http://heartstation.org/ has the newest scans in both thumbnail and normal size. One of them has Marluxia fighting alongside Roxas. How precious. Then again, in my "fanon", EVERYONE in org 13 speaks to Roxas.

Here's a team--Axel,Roxas, Luxord, Xigbar. LOL! New set of Poker Buddies. My "set" has been Xenmas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Luxord, and Marluxia. I guess that's the fun in 358/2: Group names. Trio of Terror, Four Horseman of the Asscopylypse, The Golden Trio, Triple X, etc. Yipiee! Those who can nab the Japanese version will be getting all this in May. Good for them.

As for Coded, yea, I know not to forget it, but with 358/2 being the most anticipated, it looks like everything else Kingdom Hearts is going to be overlooked for awhile.

Best Screenshot of Axel yet

It doesn't get much better than that, and there's a lot of great screenshots of Axel. They are all icons/banners/graphics just waiting to happen. I do have a couple icons I use for forums and I have a couple banners(in 2007 posts. I'll link later), but those are all I've got for now. This shall have to be remedied.

Thanks kh-vids.net.
