How different things will be if sora infant heart not only heal ventus heart but also vanitas?

They still be pure light and dark or instead probably pure dusk and dawn.

(I read some fics with a similar idea though they are discontinued, I just want to hear your thoughts and opinions about it both canon and AU sense)

I have considerable opinions about Sora and Vanitas because yes, sure, the fact that Sora tied himself to Ven's Heart definitely would have made an impact on Vanitas but at the same time I feel like tethering the two of them together was likely an unexpected consequence that has a closer tie to it than we currently assume, or can really prove, at that.

That said if it was more to the point of, when Ven was initially drawn to Sora, Vanitas was as well... it could've changed a lot. Like, Vanitas probably wouldn't have Unversed anymore, a lot.

And for him that would nix what is, essentially, a chronic pain issue. Creating the Unversed, feeling them die, that's a constant cycle which is pretty brutally described in the BBS novels. The Unversed are literal agony for Vanitas. It's not going to stop Xehanort, it won't save him from being beaten and broken and battered so that the old man gets his refined weapon, but-- his misery would be significantly less, his control would have to be aimed at controlling the Heartless, and it's interesting to think about how that would shift things, for them.

Would he hate Ventus half as much as he does in canon? Particularly once he learns how to use Corridors and he's not just stranded in the Graveyard, when he gets to breathe and take care of himself a bit. Would he have half as much reason to hate him? It's...genuinely hard to say because Vanitas' life would be so much easier if his own Heart wasn't nearly as broken as it is now.

Would fusing even work for them, anymore? We know that their fusion only partially worked and yes, I subscribe to the idea that part of that was Ven's unwillingness to become one, but how does Vanitas return to a Heart that no longer has a gap for him to sit in? How does he take Ven back if he doesn't have a gap for him in turn? Potentially, they wouldn't be a bomb, anymore.

Like, the implications of Sora being Sora and connecting to Vanitas are just, they're so wild. I love them, and they are so wild.

Would everything change if ventus was able to feel vanitas emotions as vanitas feel ventus emotions?

I feel like I can't-- answer this without spoiling anything SO UH

First and foremost the definitive canon answer to this for me is Ash & Dust so if you want to see that absolute role reversal in play my friend my pal anyone reading this I know the cannibalism tag might be a little scary I know the dead dove is ensuring you are set up understanding that tag is real and serious and it is it sure is but let this fanfic change your life it changed mine.

There is a reason you'll see a comment from me on every chapter that might as well be an essay Ini and I became friends BECAUSE we were writing at the same time not because we were friends first and stubbornly insisted on being that one reviewer for each other.

Secondly I will be starting a new fic called Time Will Tell (or, at least, these pages will), which again...will be touching on this. Which means, for the time being, I am keeping my opinions on what it would mean for Ven to feel Vanitas like Vanitas feels Ven...close to my chest. c:

This probably one of most common idea , but what if sora 10 years ago in bbs did remember saving ven and was able to talk to him?

And put some extra spice vanitas is there too.

OH SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE ME WRITE ANOTHER ESSAY OKAY

One day I actually might write this concept because I am actually in love with it. I love Ven and Vanitas slowly working out their issues while in Sora's Heart because they're kind of forced into this space where they have to. I love the idea of them getting to be there for Sora since day dot.

And you know Ven would love him, adore him. He'd be the comforting whisper in Sora's ear and the encouragement when he's a little scared, the voice that laughs with him when he's happy. When the breeze picks up (and it's an archipelago, there's always wind) it feels like fingers ruffling Sora's hair, it feels like comfortable hugs. It feels like someone seeing all of him, and loving him desperately for it.

Vanitas would...take a while. It is Vanitas. Ven's there from the start, Vanitas probably doesn't provide anything but bullying and taunts until Sora's about 7-8 years old. But he'd share some of the ways to turn that fear into anger and strength, show him how to stand up against people who are bigger than him, how to protect; himself first, but others, if he must. He'd be the hovering shadow, the reason Sora stops being scared of the dark.

I'm always torn on whether or not they'd teach him anything about Keyblades, but I feel like they'd both be keen to teach him magic if they can. Teach him self defence. While he's still young Ven probably makes creative little games out of it that Riku joins in on, then as Sora gets older and him having "imaginary friends" stops being so cool, that's when Ven gets to treat it as a game for just the two of them.

Vanitas wouldn't even treat it as a game he'd either be like "you're learning self defence" or "hey Sora want to shoot a fireball out of your hand" and Sora would be there like, instantly. So excited to learn every possible thing and spend time with the two voices that have explained to him over and over (with varying degrees of patience) that they aren't in his head, they're in his Heart.

I could keep going this would rewrite the course of the canon as we know it, the moment Sora gets a Keyblade Vanitas and Ventus would be positively feral about it. But.

We'll save that for another day. <3

True but Vanitas is also negative right?which from what I’ve remember is connected by entirely a separate thing from darkness ( i mean why unversed eyes are red not yellow like the heartless if he was pure darkness) so him having red eyes because he is also negativity, also makes sense but also he could have central heterochromia meaning he could have golden yet little red around his pupils or the other way round ( heck that what I was thinking sometime when mentally designing my Avatar but probably take years before I explain more on that because that changed completely) anyway I’m ramble pretty long enough about it, Vanitas having red eyes because is someway to connect himself with his unversed. I love Vanitas with red eyes as much as Ventus having green eyes.❤️❤️❤️❤️

*leans in close to the mic* Vanitas does not have Xehanort’s eyes. Exposure to darkness causes eyes to turn golden. Xehanort’s eyes were originally silver, as seen in dark road. As a being of pure darkness, Vanitas is the one character where his eyes were probably yellow from the beginning (excluding the LN of course).

Love something like this ❤️❤️❤️❤️

sighs dreamily thinking about the idea of ven’s darkness having at least partially told the truth about his will. sighs dreamily thinking about the recurring theme of ‘my friends are my power’ juxtaposed with ‘what he wished for was power’ (he actually wished for friends) (and being a union leader got him friends) (plus like. it got him to survive the fall of daybreak town). sighs dreamily thinking about them having some sort of symbiosis even before it later became truly part of him and a human with a heart (vanitas). sighs dreamily thinking about it doing what it did out of love for him or at least darkness’ twisted understanding of love. yayyy 🌸🌸🌸

Wait does that mean Ventus was 1st princess of light or I guess prince of light.

I don’t know I forgotten some things and I’m still confused

I know union cross makes a lot of sense in the kh lore (especially in ddd) but the fact that ventus was a person of pure light in the first place? And vanitas is not actually the darkness half of ventus? It’s just wrong?, meh? I can’t explain what I feel about that.

I’m still confused

I’ve been wanting Ven, Roxas and Xion to get to hang out forever, and I never expected a canon game to give us this

I was hurrying so I'm not sure if this is the most accurate representation, but I've joined the summary and here are some of my favorite pieces from 2021!

I made an animation :>

(Featuring three Gods, in the world shared between me and one of my friends, in order:

Ven, deity of life and death, patron god of Taranoake

Ganellak, deity of pestilence, considered by those of Taranoake to be the sacred enemy of Ven

Ne'Mon, deity of knowledge, patron god of Citadell)

I will post more information on said world...someday?
