Do You Believe?

I've been thinking more about the fact that people have powers in Kingdom Hearts not just as Nobodies but as complete people. Braig is undeniably already using his space powers, but the sixth sense shown by Ienzo could be written off as an artistic choice just like Even saying to Ventus that they'd meet again. However, given what we know about the nature of their experiments, Even probably intended on kidnapping Ven later, only Ven doesn't live in Radiant Garden. As for Ienzo, he probably did have the power to smell darkness and sense presences. Thus, his role in the experiments (in addition to requesting the lab be built) was probably as lookout since they knew Ansem didn't approve of what they were doing anymore. It's a job he continued to have as a Nobody, standing in the corner of a darkened room and sensing the goings-on of Castle Oblivion (except he couldn't sense Diz or Ven). Dilan and Aeleus probably reserved their powers over wind and earth respectively for when they really needed it, when their weapons and strength weren't enough (or else they could cause some collateral damage that way). We know Even hates witches and magic, so it would make sense that he'd barely make use of his ice powers.

I finally got to listen to the Vox Machina version of Hamilton and it was definitely worth listening to all at once. Then I did the same thing with the original soundtrack, and it was like listening to the Weird Al parody of a song before the song itself, which is something I do sometimes. History is depressing, though; D&D is more fun.

Despite Tony Goldmark (SomeJerkWithACamera) mentioning on Twitter that the Walkers lawyering up and Doug's employment status changing to the past tense on Facebook, it appears Channel Awesome still exists with just the Nostalgia Critic crew, who are as of yet unrepentant and never looking back. Michaud must have them by the balls.
