Just this once ... you can remove your crown and NOT vaporize into a billion light particles!!!

Ah, SORAKAMI - THE WILL OF KINGDOM HEARTS. It's been 9 whole years since I've created my KH AU - GODSEND, based on this ancient HMK theory of Sora being the Soul of Kingdom Hearts. I'll never forget how HARD AND HIGH that video ascended me and my creative excitement centering around Sora back in 2014 (I was 17.). You mean I have a reason to make my very large hyperfixation character Sora all divine and mystical and mysterious like how I actually see him?!! WAAAAAAAAAAGHG - *EXPLODES*

Ultimately that developed the very base foundations of what became my Paracosm's current instance - that it is centered around a massive network of divine beings and just overall being VERY meta.

Anyhow, these days, that AU just ended up becoming my overall interpretation of KH, but Sora and Sorakami were just lingering in the background for the longest time ... that is, until 15 FEBRUARY 2023, where I had a dream sequence with Sorakami and Sora. He had become incredibly weak - to where he couldn't even transcend to the metaphysical realms, and Sora was dying due to the lack of karmic energy. Some Devil agents were hunting them, so SK escaped to the Alpha Centauri system, where apparently the entrance to his father's realm was located at (yes, Sorakami has a father, too!). For some reason, there was a parallel earth there, which if you know anything about the actual star system - THERE ISN'T ONE THERE! but that dream kicked off an ENTIRE RENNISANCE of KH for me, and it reminded me just how much that series and Sora means to me creatively and emotionally.

Hopefully this is a sign that SK and Sora will be more relevant characters again in future MCS arcs! But for now, here is an illustration of something that usually can't happen - Sorakami without his crown!! See, when he would transform back into Little Sora, he removes the crown (which helps keep his Divine form).
