Here’s a funny little story about my experience at Fan Expo this year, by the time myself and a friend of mine got up there, few more celebrities cancelled their appearances and some more were announced, one of which to my surprise was Billy Zane. While he may not be as big with the roles he’s had aside Back to the Future, Titanic, and Pocahontas 2 (for some reason…) but if anyone knows me there is only one reason why I brought him up at all. WAY back in Kingdom Hearts 1, he was the original voice actor for Ansem.
I figured he wouldn’t have anything of this character at his table and sadly if I had known about his appearance there, I would’ve printed off this pic to have him sign. But when I approached him and talked to him about his role in the game, not only did he actually remembered it, but actually drew me this with charcoal!
Don’t believe me? See the man making this for yourself!
Not often one gets an original sketch of the character the voice actor once played drawn life in front of ya =p.
“I never would’ve thought that he, of all people, could possibly forget.”
@imaginative-ink‘s headcanon about Saix’s motives made me think of a very angsty idea, and while I hardly ever draw angst, this one had to be kicked out of my system as quickly as possible. So there. Share my hurt.
So in this AU, Saix tries to save Axel from being norted- but fails. He’s still fully aware of the plan in motion, but is quite helpless as he sees his best friend slipping further and further away with each day that passes. He ends up being the babysitter/dadfriend/caretaker in the seasalt trio instead of Axel, when the time comes.
Saix is devastated and full of guilt, but also more open about the past- he knows the consequences of keeping everything to himself, but also cautious to not risk his value as an Organization member. He swears to never lose anyone again, and takes it upon himself to protect the children, knowing fully well that his best friend would do the same if he was in his right mind.
I’ve had this long-standing theory that Isa figured out Xehanort’s true intent for Organization XIII a long time ago, but never told Lea. Instead, he allowed himself to become a vessel in hopes of tearing Xehanort’s plan down from the inside, and to ensure that Lea wouldn’t suffer the same fate. Or perhaps Xehanort made Isa some promise that he’d leave Lea alone if Isa gave himself up (it seems that Xehanort knows of Isa and Lea’s past since he orders Isa to attack Lea in DDD). Anyways, once Isa became a vessel and got a permanent Recusant’s Sigil, Isa cut off all ties with Lea so that Xehanort could never use him as leverage. Not to mention that the two of them were still (sort of) working together on their secret plot, and they couldn’t risk Xehanort finding out about it.
Now that they’re human again and Lea is a possible candidate to be a Guardian of Light, the part of Isa still untouched by Xehanort – small as it is – becomes more desperate to protect the one friend he’s ever known.
