#and I want her to be better

[greetings-inferiors]

Saw someone comparing people disliking Kairi being the “damsel in distress” of the franchise and wanting her to have her own game to raging feminists complaining that she should be a strong independent woman that don’t need no man and like… no…

Kairi is great in kh1. Seriously! If anyone looks at kh1 and goes “it’s bad because a woman is a damsel in distress and that’s sexist” yeah no they’re stupid. The problem is how it keeps happening.

Kh1: she’s a princess of heart so she’s taken by the darkness and her heart is protected by sora’s heart. But this is fine! It’s goo motivation for Sora, especially since Riku’s gone evil.

CoM: it’s all about saving Naminé, who isn’t technically Kairi but is Kairi’s nobody. So it isn’t that bad. It really does hammer home how Sora’s memories of Kairi are of highest value to him, to the point it can get a bit repetitive lmao. But still it’s fine.

Kh2: she’s not a damsel at all! Apart from like being taken by Axel for a bit, I’d say this is the most agency she’s gotten in the whole series. But still, she was kidnapped by Axel. It resolved quickly, but still.

She doesn’t appear much until kh3, and when she does it’s pretty good. So at this point it’s established that she IS a strong character. Even in kh3 she spends who knows how long in a hyperbolic time chamber training with Axel/Lea, so as far as we know she’s at the level of a keyblade master by now.

But then

And this is probably my biggest gripe with kh3

We get to the scene where Xemnas just… grabs Kairi and runs away, and suddenly Kairi is as powerless as she was in kh1. And, that sucks.

Luckily in re:mind we get to fight as her and she FUCKING SLAPS, which is ALL THE MORE REASON SHE SHOULD GET A SOLO GAME NOMURA

Basically Kairi is one of the most important trios in the franchise, and she constantly gets sidelined and belittled. It made sense in kh1, but now she’s a keyblade wielder it’s just depressing.

And she’s the only guardian of light to not get more than a single battle of playtime. Sora… is the main character of the franchise. Riku gets a playable appearance every other game. The way finder trio got you to play their game three times through to give them all time to shine, and aqua even got a solo outing, Roxas had a whole game to himself and you could play Axel, Xion, Donald, Goofy, Mickey, and even the other members of organisation 13 in mission mode. But Kairi had a single battle in Kh3’s re:mind and a game where she’s the narrator (because you don’t ACTUALLY play as her, but as EVERY GODDAMN CHARACTER EXCEPT HER)

In a franchise that loves handing out spin offs to any character that breathes, it really sucks that such an integral, beloved, cool, and fun character doesn’t have their own game, or even a side story like Riku.

And this doesn’t even mention her personality, which kind of has deteriorated since kh1, where she genuinely was an incredible character don’t @ me.

It’s not your fault you’re bland Kairi, it’s Nomura’s 😔

Here’s to Kairi having agency as the franchise moves forwards. But with kh4 moving to another realm, once they’ve found Sora I don’t see what she’s gonna do. What she COULD do.

there’s something sooo sickening about how dunmeshis whole energy is like sometimes something terrible and awful happens to you and it changes you forever and nothing can make you the person you were before but there’s still love and there’s still sharing a meal together and there’s still living

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

A sister's love

The justice league hurriedly responds to a call for backup at a little in the middle of nowhere place by the name of Amity Park. 

The situation had seemed so simple. 

A Star Sapphire had suddenly shown up on Earth which isn’t immediately cause for concern but she was unidentified, so a lantern was definitely going to have to look into it if only just to make sure that nothing bad was going on. There are two planet side green lanterns, Simon and Jessica. So they responded to handle the potential situation. 

Things rapidly spun out of control when they realized it wasn't just a Star Sapphire. 

"I hate to say this but we're gonna need backup" Simon tells Cyborg, "the Star Sapphire has brought something with her. My first guess was a white martian but..." The other one can do some manner of density shifting, and he can go invisible, but they know ways around that. Whatever this one is doing isn’t that though.

"Why isn't this working!?!" Comes Jessica's slightly panicked voice in the distance, "he keeps just going through my creations! dammit, think think Jess" She tried to contain him with a flamethrower construct but he just ignored it, like he’s seemingly ignoring everything else she’s throwing at him.

"Our constructs have zero effect on the other one, the alien, meta? man I don’t know he’s human shaped" 

"What is the situation other than the two hostiles?"

"Uh we got some government agents who are retreating because of the Star Sapphire wrecking their stuff. And the civilian people here seem to be falling under her influence, so she must be human. She's from here, she needs emotional connection to pull that stuff off."

The people are furious, the violet glow around them clearly indicates that the girl is using her ring to amp them up but if Simon didn’t know any better he’d say this was red lantern stuff.

Well there are more ways to whip people up into a frenzy, by hurting their loved ones for example.

There is a brief moment where it can be heard that Simon and Jessica try to get into a more advantageous position. 

Simon grunts, "dammit, those agents seemed to have weapons that actually worked on the other guy but the Star Sapphire used her violet constructs to shield him and destroy their guns and we've been struggling since" this whole situation stinks, he has a weird feeling about all of it.

"Simon this is really really bad, i can't keep restraining all these civilians, we're running out of energy fast!"

Cyborg tries to get a visual on the situation from his position in the Watchtower while he’s notifying any league affiliated heroes who are nearby and available. 

But all of a sudden he realizes there is just nothing, just a big lap of void where the two lanterns are supposed to be, there is no cctv footage, no cell towers, no internet connection. Just what the hell is going on here.

Then the audio transmission starts to violently crackle.

A new voice laced with static can suddenly be heard, "There you two are"

"Shit"

"Is the justice league coming yet? Are they finally going to do something?" the staticy voice continues.

"Stay back you-"

"Or maybe they still need more of a reason to act" 

The audio cuts out. 

"Jessica! Simon! Come in!" ... "Shit!" 

Cyborg finally gets a clear picture with the satellite cameras and now sees the entirety of Amity Park has been covered with a crystalized violet dome. It’s then that he remembers the story Hal told quite some time ago now about a Star Sapphire who managed to put a whole planet into love stasis.

They are gonna need more help with this one he thinks.

Meanwhile Jazz is still shakily trying to figure out how her new pink powers work, now that all the fighting is over (for now), the GIW forcefully expelled from Amity, and the two Justice league people captured and restrained.

Everything happened so fast, one moment the GIW had knocked out her brother and were forcefully taking him away and while she saw them drive off (she was pretty sure she was screaming) a pink thing just froze her in place, She was pretty sure someone said something about “great love in her heart” and then she was… well she was flying and- and there wasn’t really any time to question things then so she may have kinda gone and ripped into the van that had Danny.

She’s pretty sure she healed him, and then things just completely spiraled out of control from that point on. and now she’s here.

She’s pretty sure this is crazy villain behavior, she’s going to get put on some sort of watchlist and then she’ll never get to be a psychologist but it’s fine.

Her little brother is safe, that’s all that matters. And she will keep it that way.

Scary Sunset.

I'm concepting things way outta order in this story, but I'm sure you can piece things together. Context is for a storybeat where, after defeating and capturing Adagio (thus having all three sirens in her possession), Sunset enacts her revenge plot to release the sirens on Canterlot as Thea discovers she's been manipulated. In a confrontation, the two scuffle and fight over the siren orbs while Sunset struggles with her conflicting wants and emotions.
