1 and 9 for riku? :3

What memory would your OC rather just forget?

Hm I think there’s definitely a lot of memories Riku would rather forget, most of them stemming from his time with Hatanaka. While I’m still kinda work-shopping Hatanaka as a character, something that hasn’t changed (yet) is how she uses Riku for her schemes. She’s manipulated him into doing some things that he isn’t proud of and he’d definitely like to pretend never happened (which is hard considering the scars he has).

9. Do you have a specific lyric or quote which you associate with your OC?

YES I have so many (I have several playlists for him LMAO) but I’ll just pick one for this ask.

I’m cheating a little here because this is a whole section of the chorus but technically it’s one sentence so:

“Oh captain let’s make a deal, where we both say the things that we both really feel, I feel scared and I’m starting to sink, and I only sink deeper the deeper I think”

This is from a song called Ship in a Bottle by fin which is a song that I think fits Riku but also his story arc perfectly (so much so I’m half tempted to use the title as the AU name lmao). The captain part is a bit on the nose but I think this lyric really captures how Riku is feeling - he feels really helpless and powerless in his current situation and in this case I think that “captain” is actually Joker. Kinda like Riku is speaking to him saying “hey I need to be honest I am straight up not having a good time”.

TY for the ask eheh :3
