Toy Box Kairi
🕑 Added 2022-06-13 02:26:14 +0000 UTCYeah I know that's not the actual Toy Story keyblade, the real one was hard to draw and I thought it was appropriate anyway to use my own since my whole series of pics finding ways to get KH girls into sexy outfits/forms by theming them after the Disney worlds pretty much all stems from when I was a kid and was always disappointed that after Kairi is rescued they didn't find some way to give her a fighting move or weapon or super power so she could join your party. In particular I really wanted that so I could take her to the worlds where the party all get disguises and see what she looks like, especially Atlantica though I wasn't able to figure out until much later why that one in particular. Well half the reason I even had any interest in KH as a kid in the first place was because of the possibility of there being a world based on Toy Story, or maybe even Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. One of those took until 2019 to finally get, and the other we'll probably never get because Disney wants you to forget it existed so they can push a movie that retcons it-
and actually I'm gonna say here since I'll never get the opportunity to say it again, that that chaps my ass thoroughly because Lightyear doesn't HAVE to retcon Star Command. Why can't Buzz Lightyear just be a legacy character in-universe that's been rebooted and reimagined numerous times, like Ninja Turtles or G.i. Joe? Frankly I think that would make a lot more sense both thematically and in the sense that the timeline adds up better that way. Woody's Roundup was cancelled specifically because cowboys were out and spacemen were in, and when told that, Woody even says "I know how that feels." Wouldn't it be perfect irony if the space toy that started whooping his ass in popularity was a 1950s version of Buzz Lightyear? As they say, history often rhymes, right? Not only that though, but we see in one of the shorts that take place between 3 and 4, as in modern day, not during Andy's childhood, that an in-universe fast food chain is doing a Buzz Lightyear promotion, which only happens when something new and notable has happened in a franchise. You won't see Sonic the Hedgehog toys at McDonald's unless something is currently going on with Sonic, like a new movie. So wouldn't it make more sense if that's what Lightyear was for? If Lightyear is really supposed to be the defictionalization of whatever Andy saw that made him want an action figure of that character, and Star Command is no-longer that, then it just begs the question of why the Poultry Palace is promoting it over a decade later. By not going a route that lets Lightyear and Star Command coexist, they've generated a plothole in the Toy Story franchise, a mild one that nobody but me gives a crap about but still a plothole nonetheless, and also indirectly told the millions of people that watched Star Command growing up (and don't tell me it wasn't actually watched by a lot of people, they aired it in reruns for NINE YEARS, they wouldn't have done that if people weren't watching it) that the one they liked doesn't count and if given their own way wouldn't have existed in the first place. Lemme tell you as somebody who's been around the reboot block enough times, not doing that goes a long way. I'm still gonna see Lightyear and I'm sure it's gonna be good since it's a Pixar movie and outside of Cars and The Good Dinosaur those are pretty much never bad, and the last thing I wanna do is judge a movie by what it isn't instead of what it is, but let it be known that I would like Lightyear a LOT more if they just simply put Star Command either on Disney+ or on a DVD set, or hell even just acknowledged it existed.
(back to the sentence I interrupted for that)
-which gave me plenty of time to imagine what the Keyblade for it would've looked like, that's the design I used here, which I won't dare try to claim is a better design than the Favorite Deputy, that one does a better job of representing both main characters, but as you can tell between it and my little tangent that kid-me was leaning more towards Star Command than Toy Story in terms of what I'd have chosen for a world
