MoM!Sora Has Just Had A Very Good Day So Please Forgive Him For Gleefully Laughing In Exaltation Like

MoM!Sora has just had a very good day so please forgive him for gleefully laughing in exaltation like a complete and utter maniac.

Sora has been introduced to the forbidden arts of making faces in text ‘Kawaii’ by Kairi, Riku is bracing himself for the fallout.

Goofy and Donald think the Map Sphere is awfully familiar for some reason but can’t quite place it.

Did you ever visit destiny islands again after you became master of masters?

Yep, MoM!Sora visited a lot though it wasn't known as Destiny Island at the time, Moana’s people discovered the Islands and they eventually became inhabited. Maui could tell MoM!Sora was a time traveler on sight and was smug for days about being asked for his and Moana’s autograph. I headcanon that the supply list was for a private leaving feast the next day, as for surviving on the open ocean I watched Waterworld religiously as a kid. So at some point, Riku was telling Mickey his life story in the Realm of Darkness, Mickey was quick to point out the seeming logic holes in the Raft plan which backfired when Riku proceeded to explain, in great detail, why it was actually a great plan to the point Mickey now has detailed theoretical knowledge of how to survive on a raft in the middle of the ocean.

Adding a bit of background worldbuilding here. Sora decided to get a tattoo after he returned to Destiny Island because he’d earned one and he’s been wanting one for ages, Kairi, unfortunately, is allergic to the ink and getting specially made ink would take more than a single day. Riku had also decided to get a tattoo but watched Sora go first and rapidly changed his mind.

Sora wanted one of the heartless he’s slain tattooed across his back and had a list of Heartless to chose from ready but was informed that getting one that big now meant it would need touching up later. Kairi jokingly suggested getting a shadow heartless like the adorable one Sora once turned into and Sora decided to get one on his ankle.

Somewhere in Sora’s Heart, Roxas decides there and then that when he gets his own body he’s getting a Nobody Dragoon tattooed across his back and chest. Xion also wants a tattoo but can't make up her mind. Lea freaks out when he finds this out. Ventus thinks Aqua and Terra would yell at him if he chose to get a tattoo and he’s right.

Donald knows better than to go trampling over other people’s cultural beliefs. After Riku pointed out it was cultural Donald didn't protest much though he rightfully protested getting such a large one at such a young age.

MoM!Sora’s Heartless, Nobody and Unversed body art would fill the enemy sections of Jiminy's journal’s, all of them. MoM!Sora also managed to copy how Maui animates his tattoos at some point which is a sight to see when he activates them all.

Are you aware that your scheming is now in the level of your enemey,xehanort? That your old friends might be considering yoy the next problem? And what about your younger self? He's getting angrier and angrier. Feels like almost exactly what the orginization wanted you to do back then.

Are you aware that your scheming is now in the level of your enemy, Xehanort?

Yes, MoM!Sora is well aware that he’s become a manipulative old man but finds the comparison between himself and Xehanort to be insulting as Xehanort is an amateur routinely thwarted by children whereas MoM!Sora destroyed the original Realm of Light, currently possesses the X-Blade, and hasn't been stopped, hindered, or discovered even once in thousands of years because he’s just that competent. In thousands of years, the Gummiphone incident was literally the only mistake he ever made.

That your old friends might be considering you the next problem?

Before, MoM!Sora was hoping to work around his old friends and hopefully never have to face them across the battlefield or at all. After the Gummiphone Incident though MoM!Sora is utterly resigned to being forced to fight his once friends directly at some point and he still thinks it's going to suck. Sora and therefore MoM!Sora are both very genre savvy and never make the same mistake twice.

And what about your younger self?

MoM!Sora being a manipulative monster here, the reason Sora’s not more upset here is that Donald and Goofy saw the post and owing to second-hand trauma at the proof that Sora would literally die for them currently have him in a cuddle pile and aren’t letting him go anytime soon. The Restoration Committee would also like to contribute to the saving the worlds thing, considering it was Xehanort who caused Radiant Garden to fall to darkness in the first place, thank you very much.

He's getting angrier and angrier. Feels like almost exactly what the organization wanted you to do back then.

Naw, it's a righteous clean and totally justified anger but Sora has other friends who don't tease him so no falling to darkness, Sora did just face a very big revelation about what he could become so he’s undergoing a slow adjustment and thinking before he speaks leading him to become more introspective. A transition that took MoM!Sora years to reach may I add. Sora is finding healthy outlets for his rage and making new friends which is helping to get his head back on straight. Granted Sora may have been a bit looser on the World Order than Donald would normally tolerate but he does make sure they’re trustworthy first and it lets him actually build some proper lasting friendships without huge secrets getting in the way. It’s basically, Butterfly induced Character Development, The Guardians of Light will just have to adapt to this new Sora and learn to keep the casual mean teasing to a minimum, because he will call them out on that.

Do you know about xigbar just being the new face and name of Luxu? It had to have been a shock

When MoM!Sora realized the brave innocent little kid Luxu would become Braig/Xigbar he vomited and was so uneasy with the realization that he actually fell sick and ran a high fever for a few weeks trying to reconcile what he’d done to turn Luxu into Xigbar. At some point MoM!Sora wanted to die just to throw the timeline off but drew comfort from the thought of his friends, little wonder that the Thalassa shell charm from Kairi is almost worn down, its color completely faded from constant wear.

In private chat the Guardians of Light manage to narrow down their ‘Luxu Hunt’ to either Luxord, Marluxia or the missing Braig/Xigbar who despite apparently living in Radiant Garden his whole life since he was a little kid has always been a bit... weird. For a short time Demyx was also added to the list over the loud protest of Sora who stated any student of his would not be easily defeated in 40 seconds flat, instead, they’d actually be competent. Sora and Donald are still a bit/very salty about the “Dance Water, Dance!” Incident.

Sora snapped after one insult too many (much like myself playing Kingdom Hearts III and thinking ‘Stop letting the enemy monologue and just kill them already!’) and gone on a one keyblade wielder rampage across the worlds in search of Organization XIII.

MoM!Sora read this post and honestly wasn't sure how to react, having long had the murderous impulses of Rage Form and his natural darkness exist as a completely separate entity for so long that he’s forgotten what it’s like experience true rage like that firsthand. Its part of the reason he acts so strangely sometimes, he has no idea how to feel or express that much rage anymore so tends to overact to compensate and fail at it badly.

Under Mickey’s order Donald had to admit that maybe he’d been a bit harsh on Sora in the past and caused him to snap and now Donald's in trouble with pretty much everyone, even Goofy, which honestly makes Donald feel like crap because if Goofy’s mad at you then you know you’ve really, really screwed up.

Do you have a plan for how to deal with all your friends if/when they find out?

It's a personal headcanon that Namine's memory powers originated from Sora I don't know if Memory of Melody will invalidate my theory or not but I don't care, seriously it’s a rhythm game. (Which by the way, Nomura, WTF?) Now that doesn't mean that I think Sora can manipulate chains of memory like Namine, just that he’s got an undeveloped affinity towards memory magic like Lea has a strong affinity towards fire. (Kairi’s Princess of Heart status basically boosted Namine’s memory affinity to hax levels) MoM!Sora however has had a very, VERY long time to tinker around to experiment and develop all his magic to scary levels and given time and opportunity could rewrite someone's memories and personality wholesale. Unfortunately for MoM!Sora and luckily for the Guardians of Light he cannot use that damage control option as too many people know the truth now and it's digitized and backed up in a place he does not know about so deleting his account would do nothing but tip off the Guardians of Light that he’s still active.

MoM!Sora linked his sight to ‘No Name’ so its basically a one way QEC, Sora’s eyes changed during the fight with Young Xehanort because off all of the temporal magic Young Xehanort was flinging around causing the enchantment on no name to glitch and extend to the other compatible eyes in the area unable to differentiate between Sora and MoM!Sora’s eyes. The temporal energy basically made Sora feel momentarily similar to MoM!Sora to count, so Sora could ‘hack’ the gazing eye and see like MoM!Sora could though it was so brief Sora didn't get sent any visions. I headcanon that this photo was taken by the gummiphone slipping out of one of Sora's normal pockets and almost slamming him in the face and accidentally taking a selfie because he left it out for Jiminy to chronicle the confrontation at the Keyblade Graveyard while he fought.

Riku is stunned at how MoM!Sora’s moral compass seems to just yoyo all over the place from the steadfast Sora he knows.

Larxene or Elrena, she’s still the queen of mean, mostly at Sora because of who he might become(MoM!Sora) and because of how he saved her from being one of Xehanort's Thirteen. Elrena is not above cutting remarks and harsh critisism as she doesn't like ANY version of Sora as she views one version as a genocidal maniac who destroyed the Realm of Light with the keyblade wielding doomsday death cult he started and the other a hopeless kid who could turn into the first version.

Sora is not having a good time and is regretting saving Elrena, he’s also having a crisis of morality because he’s actually seriously regretting saving someone causing him to draw some disturbing parallels between himself and MoM!Sora. So while he is getting help for his canon issues (power-resets and self-confidence) from his friends unlike originally, Elrena and MoM!Sora are now making him question himself (critically questioning his morality and choices over his past adventures). This crisis is, unfortunately, going completely unnoticed by everyone, even MoM!Sora and that's going to have eventual repercussions.

Like Elrena Lauriam is a bit inconsiderate here towards Sora, thinking to exploit the parallels that he sees between Sora and the Master of Masters, wilfully ignoring Sora’s concerns about turning into his future self. Lauriam is not going after his sister yet he’s waiting for an empty replica and right now she’s safe where she is, he’s going to see this MoM!Sora situation resolved first otherwise there might not be a world for her to exist on left.

MoM!Sora’s new plan now that he can't erase inconvenient memories like he originally planned? Here's a hint: No one in all the worlds, light or dark, good or evil, is going to like what he has planned now.

This picture is from youtube footage of the famous Sora eye glitch that caused a surge in ‘Sora is the master of masters OMG!’ videos. (YouTube Search for ‘Sora Eye Glitch’) Having studied 3d animation myself and to the best of my knowledge, I can say this was most likely a deliberate easter egg by the developers as textures cannot warp like that without deliberate coding added. Its generally good game practice to attach the world data to the player model so the data attached to the player model changes the worlds accordingly as they are entered. The fact that this glitch happens on one particular level activated by the actions that specifically show the player models face is something that would take more effort to mess up to appear that way than not. There is a concrete way to tell if its a bug or not though, If a new update patches it then it was a glitch, if it's left there then it was intentional.
