#Poly is never a ‘solution’ to a love triangle. #Poly only works if all parties want it. #Kairi and Riku have both shown jealousy towards the other over their relationship with Sora. #Not a great foundation if they wanted to be together, which people conveniently forget they don’t.

#KH1 is not indicative of the emotions the characters feel NOW. #They’ve had some time to sort out their confusion about what they want. #Riku has never shown anything that could even be CLOSE to romantic interest in Kairi after KH1. #And Kairi has NEVER shown romantic interest in Riku PERIOD.

#Sora has tried imagining himself in a romantic relationship with Kairi… but he hesitates. #He wasn’t just surprised about the paopu fruit. #She had to recontextualize it for him in order for him to be comfortable sharing one with her. #Why do you think that is?

#Sorikai does not ‘solve’ Soriku because Rikai would never happen and Sora doesn’t want the relationship with Kairi that she wants. #Regardless of sexuality, they are on two different wavelengths regarding what they want. #“A little charm in hopes that we’ll never be apart again.” - Kairi VS #“Even though we’re apart, we’re never alone. Right, Kairi?” - Sora.

#Sora does love Kairi. Just not the same way Kairi does Sora. #Not to mention that Sora has changed since KH1. #Kairi doesn’t really know who he is anymore and is basing her feelings on the past.

@passive-t-u-m-b-l-r-user Yup yup yup… Soriku also doesn’t need ‘solved’ because there’s nothing wrong with it. Two men can date each other. Men and women can be friends. It’s not the end of the world if Kairi’s love is unrequited and she has to move on.

Not only is that rarely ever the outcome of a situation like this in fiction, but also Kairi continuing to want nothing else but Sora does nothing for her character. Especially when Kairi is attached to the memory of Sora more than the real guy and that attachment to the past has been hindering her growth.

I get being frustrated with the way her character is written, but pushing Kairi into Sora and Riku’s relationship doesn’t do anything for her or them. I’m not gonna police what people do in fanon, but I’ve seen fans advocate for this in canon and good christ, dude.

God forbid Kairi have to find a new dream that isn’t being with Sora
