Silent Hill/Kingdom Hearts

qara_isuke is totally my hero, because she sent me video links for the Silent Hill games, even if last night after I turned off my computer and all the lights, I laid on my back and stared at the ceiling and thought, "they are going to EAT ME and tomorrow my housemates will just find some bloodstained clothes (and possibly a single bone) in my bed."

Then I zonked out and obviously that didn't happen, hello everyone!

But she is obvious proof that I'm not the only person who heartmarks Silent Hill and Kingdom Hearts in a but-you-COULD-mix-them! way, or at least she's willing to indulge me as I alternately go :D XO D: at her.

She also gave a fantastically brilliant idea based mostly on the mythos of Silent Hill 2 -- i.e., if the monsters are all simply a reflection of your own guilt and darkness, then Kairi will see nothing except the occasional dark shadow (from her connection with Namine), Riku would, at some point, have close encounters of the stabbydeath kind with Pyramid Head, but Sora, who is now fully integrated with Roxas, such as memories and thoughts cross over and mingle ...

Sora would see members of the Organization in the monsters. 8D ( Sort of like the Victims in Silent Hill 4, in a way. )

I wonder if one could replace the other smaller actual monsters (not ghosts, like the Victims) with regular Nobodies/Heartless. I mean, thwack a Dusk and it falls to the ground and writhes away to try and get behind you to hit you; shoot a Lying Body and it falls as well, then slithers up and tries to bite your ankles off with rotted teeth.

...

This will be awesome practice for the survival horror game beastiary-in-progress, too. :D
