As some of you who watched the movie "Advent Children" may know, there is a wolf that pops up in places during the movie. It is a symbol, as the movie is full of symbolism, for 2 things. If you don't know, i'll explain it.
WARNING: THIS CONTAINS ADVENT CHILDREN SPOILERS
The wolf appears in 4 places (that i saw, there may be more). Each has significence to what he stands for. What does Wolf stand for? i shall explain this in deatail, and some extra evidence.
Wolf first appears at the begining during the opening credits. We see Zack's buster sword that Cloud kept with him up till that point. If you remember, Zack was [killed] while he and Cloud were escaping from Shinra. Cloud feels that Zack's [death] is all his fault, but why is the wolf there? too early to decide just yet.
Later on, after Loz and Tifa fight, Cloud returns to the church to find Tifa unconcious in the flowers. He rushes over to her but passes out from the Stigma's reaction. While they are unconcious we see a bit of a relaxing scene, the final bit of them in the flowers in a wide open white area, with the wolf beside them. Cloud feels that he could have helpped Tifa if he was there, and if he didn't leave her in the first place, she wouldn' have had to come find him. Also because of it, Marlene was kidnapped.
A little bit later, while Cloud is driving to the Forgotten City to stop Kadaj, Yazoo, Loz, and rescure Marlene and Denzel, his pleasent drive is interuppted by a dream sequence. He finds himself in a field standing back to back with Aerith (who, incase you forgot, was [killed] by Sephiroth while praying to Holy). Aerith asks him what's wrong, Cloud simply replies "I guess...i want to be forgiven." Aerith makes a strong point by saying, "By who?" Cloud himself blammed himself the most for Aerith's [death]. He loved her, and because of him, he thinks, shes now no longer part of their world. He proves this point more when talking to Tifa before when Tifa says that she needs his help and so does many others. But, Cloud speaks his mind, "I'm not fit to help anyone. Not you, not Marlene, not even myself." Aerith's saying in the scene 'I don't need to forgive you, i don't blame you for what happend, who you need to forgive is yourself.'
After the battle in the Forgotten City, after talking to Vincint and leaving to, according to him, "Forgive his sins," we see another relaxing scene looking at the location, and at the end, we see Wolf drinking the water that corrupted the children, and Denzel. Cloud feels awful about the children and not being able to get there in time to save them.
When Cloud gets back to the new city (where Meteor crashed) he finds Tifa whle she's about to go help Barret, Cid, Yuffie and the others fight SinBahummet. He tells her while he's taking out his swords, "I feel lighter, musta been all that Dilly-Dallying in the light, maybe i lost some weight." Earlier Tifa told Cloud, "Dilly-dally shilly-shally," which meant he should stop living in the past, help the preasent, and fight for the future (in other words, Move On). What Cloud means when he says this is, while he was "Forgiving his sins," he lost some of the guilt and sadness he had on his shoulders.
And then, during the end of hte fight against Sephiroth, Sephiroth stabs Cloud in the shoulder and asks him "What do you cherish the most? Give me the pleasure of taking it away!" Cloud pulls out the sword and tells him "I pity you, you just don't get it! Theres not a thing i don't cherish!" Cloud preeceeds to use a newer version of Omnislash, destroying the Sephiroth formed from Kadaj.
Finaly, the wolf shows up one more time after Cloud gets shot by the [dieing] Yazoo and Loz, and as a result, he passes away himself. As he wakes up in a white area, Aerith's hand touches his forehead and cloud asks "Mother?" Aerith retorts "Mother? Why is everyone calling me that lately?" who is referring to Kadaj. Zack taunts Aerith by saying "Maybe they've become fond of you." Aerith replies "But this one is too big to adopt." "Tough luck friend," Zack says, "You don't have a place here." Cloud then returns to the church, as the wolf walks in, looks at Cloud, and disappears. Cloud wakes up (the scene officialy called "Cloud Smiles") and sees all his friends and the children. He calls Denzel in the water, takes some of the life-stream water, and pours it on Denzel's head, curing the GeoStigma. All the children and parents and friends rejoice, as Cloud smilies and looks upon them all. While he's looking, he spots a young flowergirl, handing two kids some flowers and walking out. Right before she walks through the door, Aerith turns around and tells him "See? Everythings all better again." She turns back around, Zack (who was in the doorway) waves, and they both leave.
Did you figure out what Wolf stood for? No!? gosh, you must be dense, or you don't understand what i said. Heres the answer: Wolf represents Cloud's guilt and sadness. When it disappears during Cloud Smiles, it means that Cloud has finaly gotten rid of all the guilt he had stored up inside of him for all those years.
You may learn something from that. Anyways, i'm done. Go watch Advent Children, it's a beautiful movie (buy the 2-disk dvd so you can learn the past of what happend in "Reminisense" or w/e). It's romantic, actionfilled, beautifuly animated, and very heart-wrenching. If you want to see it and don't feel like buying or renting the DVD, just call and ask and find a time you can come over, and we'll watch it (i've watched it at least 20 times in the first week i had it, and i still love it), and we'll watch it in HIGH-DEFINITION!!!
Anyways, i'll do an actual update some other time. Cya later | | |

Not much has happend since i last posted. I think, i don't remember the last time. I've been playing GW a lot more lately, and i already beat KH2 if i didn't mention in the last one, i'm still working on 100%. Anyways, Connell and Vernon have been thorwing music at us like crazy. We aren't even playing most of it at the concert. I'm going with Lathem and my dad to go see the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra play some John Williams peices on sunday. I WAS going to invite Phil instead, but he wasen't home, so i invited Joey instead (shoulda been there, dude).
Anyways, i got nottin else to talk about.

| As life goes on, people lose track of their childhood, though still in their memories, they can't spend those times together again. I want to think that was the key concept between Kingdom Hearts. KH was a very popular PS2 title that sucked in thousands among millions of players. Whether you played it for the memories of your favorite Disney characters, or the romantic yet massivly actiony story, you no doubt enjoyed it.
I beat KH2 just an hour or so ago. The ending was the sweetest thing ever. It's ashame their journey is at an end...or is it? the ending after the credits leaves at wonder, are they trying to leave a cliffhanger, or leave a story for us to make ourselves? It has already been confirmed that square-enix will NOT be making a KH2 Final Mix as of yet. Even if they do, they'd have to get it out before the end of the PS2 lifecycle and i don't see that happening. As for a KH3, there are some story building and such going around square's team, but they aren't gonna start the project just yet. They might want to though, before Haley Joel Osment turns into an old man, same with David Ghallager.
SPOILER WARNING!!!!!
Each character pratcicly has their own storyline and history. Only the main character's histories are revealed. It's also revealed that the Organization XIII are ALL nobodies themselves. The heartless are the darkness from people's hearts, but as questioned by ansem's final report, what becomes of the souls and bodies of the people who lost those hearts. The answer? The Nobodies. Nobodies are practicly the same as heartless, except their white and theres very few more. Plus they are extremely more difficult. XIII is comprised of 13 members, all very powerful and strong-hearted Nobodies. Their leader, the supirior, is Xemnas, the nobody of Xehanort (if you rearrange the letters, and take out the X, you get No Heart). Xehanort was Ansem the Wise's apprentice, and questioned Ansem's ability to use the hearts they were studying. Xehanort began to write the Ansem Reports (what you collected in the first game). Xehanort was then experimented on and became a heartless and took the name Ansem. Ansem the wise (the true ansem) left into seclusion to plot his revenge.
Axel and Roxas's stories were the saddest in my opinion. After Sora turned into a heartless (after the battle with Riku in Hollow Bastion) Roxas was born. Roxas became a member of the organization and became best friends with Axel. Being the nobody of Sora, he had the ability to weild the keyblade. Roxas began to question XIII, and left one night. Axel tried his best to stop Roxas but it was no use.
"It's not like anyone would miss me," Roxas told Axel.
"That's not true..." Axel said to Roxas, who then left through a portal of Darkness. "I would..."
Axel was then charged a year later to find Roxas, who was then living a fake, but happy life in Twilight Town. His life there was nothing but a computer simulation by DiZ (which stands for Darkness in Zero, refer to Ansem's Other Report 3, i think that's it). Axel and XIII was able to break through for breif moments, but always failed to defeat Roxas. Roxas then found out about his fake life and destroyed the computer DiZ had used and then fought with Axel one last time. Later, you find out the reason Axel liked Roxas so much was because, it made him feel like he had a heart, and Roxas was the only organization member he actualy liked. Axel later passed away protecting Sora, telling him it was funny, because Sora made him feel the same.
This brings me to question, though Roxas is part of Sora, he had feelings and Nobodies could not have feelings even though they could fake them. Roxas showed many feelings for his friends in Twilight Town. Axel is the same, even though he claims it made him feel like he had a heart when he was with Roxas, he showed many "Real" feelings. He showed that he was a jokester, felt sad when he got Kairi kidnapped, and felt even more sad when Roxas left. Also take note Mickey was accepted into the organization while he was spying on them. Is it possible that Axel and Roxas aren't really Nobodies, but something else?
The last boss fight against Xemnas was very difficult, yet awsome. He would constantly make small clones of himself and flung you into the air where you had to dodge his attacks. Later Xemnas captures Sora and your only partner (Riku!!!!) has to go help him. You then get to play as Riku!!!!!! WHOAMG!!!! He has 3 actions, Jump, Attack, and Dark Aura (which is actualy Dark Firaga, but the changed the name with one of another more powerful attack *rolls eyes*). You haveta destroy Xemnas's clones while they come after you, then use the reaction command "Rescue" to get Sora out. He only does this ONCE though, so enjoy it while it lasts.
END SPOILERS
well, enjoy it
oh...one last thing...in case you were wondering...yes it IS worth every penny and every minute. AND ANOTHER THING!!!! Sephiroth is 10K times harder. AND ONE MORE THING!!!! Rai annoys me, y'know XD
that's it, cya dudes later. | | |
| Dude...it's been almost a month since i last updated...that's so sad...owell, get over it ><
I got meh Gmail working again, so you people can now contact me by it, core010@gmail.com so there, now if i don't get your email, it's prolly gotten sent to the junk email, which is now filled at 400 messages for me!!! w00t!!!
Lets see here, we got all 1s at district and state (hoora for us), we got a new F Horn player in class (kinda cute too...>>) and i've been bored outta my mind. My dad told me i should stop practicing my trumpet and focus on my horn, i wanted to tell him to mind his own business, but he had a point. DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GONNA STOP ME THOUGH.
Kat finaly has permission to get back on the compy, i've been talking to her on the gamil chat thingy like crazy, and she went ahead and made a new Black Night RP when i SPECIFICLY SAID I WANTED TO WRITE THE REST INDEPENDANTLY!!!! owell, what's done is done, it's going to go into a final trilogy where Axel loses control of himself. In this one, he begins to change, after becoming a Heaven-Knight. But when a meteor threatens the existence of the earth, Hiyruu steps in to save the world, but with bad consiquences. It also marks the return of Axel's daughter, Chesia. Jak has little part in this one, being how this takes place after the Machine War...he's kinda...dead...OMGSPOILERS. Axel tries to save her, but in the end fails. He believes he's failed everyone, Hiyruu, Sparn, April, Jak, they are all suffering because of him. He meets with Hiyruu's father (the Hero of Chaos) and he gives Axel his old armor, which begins Axel's corruption. He finds out his brother still has some connection to his father, and is being corrupted. Axel goes to rescue Jak's sister from Xaldin and Jean, who wants to use her soul to bring back Axel and Xaldin's mother, Jean's wife (which has been his long plan). In the end, Axel has to [kill] Xaldin and Jean, finaly ending the plots of his father, but at the cost of Xaldin's life. His son (Alex) and daughter (Chesia), go on to live with Grace (Jak's sister), and he goes to find the people that caused the meteor. He then makes a new pledge, and becomes the dreaded Hell-Knight.
In the one after that, it chronicles Sparn, April, Alex, and Chesia's attempts to save Axel, which ultimately fail, details are sketchy for now, but in the end he will still be the same.
The final one, AND I MEAN THE FINAL ONE THIS TIME (dam, that's...13 stories....) it focuses on Alex's growing up, almost hitting the 10 year time frame Lok set for Axel and his rematch. Alex goes to find Axel, and end up having an epic battle. Alex changes Axel finaly, but Axel doesn't stay long. This is where the final epilouge (which has been in my mind forever!) comes in. Axel leaves Chesia and Alex as they are now teenagers, and goes to confront Lok. I think this will be the biggest battle i have ever written besides "The Night it Rained Blood" chapter in 8. Axel wins, but also loses. Lok was Axel's dark half, Kite. Kite was the one who caused all of the evils Axel did in the begining of the series, as well as when he was possessed by Lok again. Since they are one and the same, Axel [dies], and leaves the Chaos Breaker to Alex. That'll be the end of the series, i am NOT planning on writing any stories with Alex and Chesia.
i need to post the chapters i've written in BN6, so you can read what i have now, as well as keep it as a backup.
Well, spring break has been weird so far. Friday night i went to dinner, that was good, saturday was normal. Sunday i spent the night at phils. Last night i stayed up till 2 in the morning playing FFX with Matt. Then i woke up at 8 in the morning and played it till 3, STRAIGHT. Afterwards, i passed out on the couch. it was fun though =]
and finaly, Yesterday was Axel Day, today is Saix Day, and tomorrow is Zexion day!!!!
which means theres only 8 days till KH2. When it comes out i'll most likely not be on MSN, YIM, or AIM at all (even though i'm never on AIM or YIM anymore anyways.) MSN FTW
and remember, it's not zomg, it's whoamg!!!
anyways, good-night
"One who knows nothing can understand NOTHING!"
(i feel like posting the Ansem report 13 on here, lol)
When the heart casts off the flesh, where does the body go?
Heart and soul are separate, and the spirit remains in the body. But can we assume that the leftover body and soul perish?
Certainly when the heart changes into a Heartless the body disappears.
However, that is only this world's story; in another world, mightn't they change forms like the Heartless and exist there?
If we take that to be the case, there must be a you other than yourself existing somewhere.
An existence neither of darkness nor of light.
An in-between existence.
Cast off by the heart, a mere shell, one who begrudges both the darkness and the light.
This mystery cannot be easily resolved.
The relationship between the heart and the flesh is a complex one.
But since we exist here, they cannot be termed as existent.
Therefore I shall call them...
"The non-existent ones."
