Kingdom Hearts 🤝 Sonic Prime
Listen, focusing on a person's relationships/friendships with a bunch of people and their very strong relationship with a particular person are not mutually exclusive things. It is true there is a focus on bonds and the main character's relationship with multiple people as there is a very clear focus on their relationship with one particular person.
#sonic the hedgehog#kingdom hearts#sonic prime#Both of these properties are ones where people tend to argue whether it's 100% about a perceived romantic relationship or 'just friendship'#and it's just like. Guys#Kingdom hearts has a heavy focus on bonds (not just between Sora and his friends but between other people). This is a very important theme#Likewise‚ Sonic's connection to his home‚ his love of his friends‚ the bonds he makes in the shatterspaces. These are all important to his#journey and goals and development as well#But like. It also remains that KH very heavily presents Sora and Riku as important people to each other. Whether you ship it or not‚ it's#not an antithesis to the message about bonds and frienship to admit that the series puts a particular weight and focus on Sora's#relationship with Riku#Likewise‚ while Sonic Prime has a big focus on friendship and bonds and home‚ it has a very particular weight and focus on Sonic's#relationship to Tails and Nine throughout. So much so that you can tangibly feel in the story how Tails' absence affects Sonic in a#particular way. No matter what you think about their relationship‚ it is a very central one to the story given an obvious weight. And#admitting this doesn't mean it can't also be about Sonic's bonds with people or about home in general or what have you#i just be ramblin

These memories may stay forever, but...

#rewatched enchanted and realized what this reminds me of#kingdom hearts#enchanted#the stereotypical fairytale expectation that is set up to be subverted#as the characters grow beyond classic disney tropes#these characters are Not on the same page anymore. if they ever really were#this scene also starts with an emphasis on robert and giselle’s connection#much like in kh the scene starts with an emphasis on riku and sora’s connection#relationships that have seen significant development#in contrast to those that are pretty static and rely heavily on trope expectations

childhood friends to lovers with sora
pairing: sora x gn!reader (+ kairi & riku)
tags: childhood best friend!sora, supportive kairi & riku, fluff, missunderstandings, jealousy (reader of kairi & sora of riku)
for the longest time, it had always been sora, riku and you! the three of you were inseparable and did everything together!
but when kairi arrived at destiny island, the dynamic you guys had changed. sometimes sora would spend his days with her, while other times it was you and him again, while kairi was with riku
kairi was your friend, but you couldn't deny that you were jealous of how much time she got to spend with sora!
it was back then that you realized that you were in love with sora! he was your first love, but you didn't dare confess to him
years passed and the four of you remained good friends. but you always worried that one day, sora would fall in love with kairi, instead of you…
while you loved sora, it hurt being around him too. slowly, you began to spend more time with riku, as it was easier for you
but you distancing yourself from sora was what made him realize his feelings for you!
sora had taken you for granted, always expecting you to stay in his life. until suddenly, you weren't there every day and he began to miss you
seeing you with riku made sora jealous and he couldn't help but wish that he was the one by your side!
what finally got sora to confess to you was hearing from kairi that riku had confessed his love to you as well!
sora knew that if he didn't say anything now, he'd never get a second chance! and so, he rushed to you, surprising you with a confession!
and surprised you were! especially when he mentioned riku's confession to you… that never happened!
turns out kairi and riku were lying to sora about said confession, to give him a push in the right direction and finally admit his feelings for you!
and it truly worked, as now you finally knew sora loved you too and the two of you could be together after so many years of only being friends…

Complicated Platonic SoRiku Feels
Hi again internet void. Please allow me to vent into your uncaring ear. I've been struggling with understanding why platonic SoRiku would be a disappointment to me. Maybe you can help? Let me try to do this succinctly...
SoRiku has been coded in an overwhelmingly romantic way. It's gotten to the point where Nomura showed us only the Fairy Godmother was good enough to send Riku off to fulfill his literal dream of finding Sora. ALONE. SoRiku fans constantly lament that if either Sora or Riku was a girl, then the romance angle would be obvious to the point of overdone. And if the big moments in their relationship weren't enough, check out all those direct comparisons to Disney couples across multiple decades. At this point, platonic SoRiku will only make sense to me if Sora is aromantic. It's drifted too far from the credibly platonic bond we saw in KH1 to be anything but romantic now- especially from Riku's side.
So I guess that's why I don't jive with the general fandom sentiment of "any SoRiku ending is good". It's not and I'm tired of telling myself I should be grateful if it happens in any capacity. I'm not going to be okay with yet another case of writing a romance and refusing to acknowledge it as one. Saying "platonic SoRiku is good" without Sora being aro feels like hedging my bets against being baited again. KH has been built different ever since CoM's aitsu and shared promise shenanigans- don't try to wriggle out of that with "they're the most special guys with the most unique and incomparable bond ever".
Man. I've got even more thoughts about why setting Riku up to be rejected would be cruel and unfulfilling/pointless from a narrative perspective but no one wants to read an essay. I want to hear what other people have to say but asking for someone to read this is less realistic than canon SoRiku ha ha. So thanks for hearing me out, void.
#soriku#kingdom hearts#Riku's feelings definitely aren't platonic like how can you read them as such#Aromantic Sora would be heckin' wholesome though#It took weeks and many pages of rambling in a text doc to articulate two paragraph's worth of thought#ace trans guy struggles with complicated feelings about how queer relationships are shown in media

People are allowed to hurt others.
Clickbait phrasing aside, I think it is an important thing in life to acknowledge that people - including you - are allowed to hurt people, especially if you are a survivor of trauma. It's one of the things I have to verbally restate to my fiance who relatively recently got hit with the trauma bus after repressing it for a while, but you ARE allowed to hurt people.
Of course, intentionally hurting someone is a dick move.
Of course, unintentionally hurting someone is a sucky situation for them and not a cool and fun thing
Of course, hurting someone is not the ideal but even then
You are allowed to hurt people. It is not this horrible moral failing or evil behavior or completely reprehensible thing to hurt someone. Intentionally or not, if you hurt someone, it is not something that makes you unredeemable or tainted or unlovable or a horrible person.
It is part of human nature - part of life - to every now and again make poor decisions - intentionally or not - that end up affecting another person poorly. May that person be a stranger or a close friend or what not, its just part of life experiences to run into these situations and it is OK to hurt others.
You don't need to be punished. You don't need to grovel. It's not the end of a relationship in any inherent means.
And while it is okay to hurt people, whats the MOST important thing is that when you realize you've hurt someone is to acknowledge it and - if its someone important to you - do what you can to apologize and try not to repeat the mistakes made
But everyone hurts people every now and again.
Expecting yourself and the people in your life to live their entire life without ever getting a speck of dirt on their hands (for those that struggle with analogies, "live their entire life without ever hurting anyone") is something that just won't work out in the long run.
Hurting someone is a singular action that does not have to define your life moving forward.
What does matter is how you handle and respond to it.

hey has anyone talked about kh2 Winnie the Pooh and how his and Sora's character arc could potentially be foreshadowing/paralleled in the future with Sora not having his memories of Riku and Riku being by his side and Sora knows he's looking for something- someone, in fact- but he can't quite remember who and hello new friend Riku so nice of you to travel with me and help me look :)
#Sorry what#Kh2#Kh4#I always thought it was weird the way Pooh doesn't even bother to learn Sora's name#- calling him “somebody I don't know” long into their relationship in kh2#But it makes sense if this is paralleling Sora's relationship w/ Riku#Where even if Sora gets to know him and has surface level relationship with him#If he can't remember all that Riku means to him he might as well not even be able to remember his name#Kh#Soriku#Listen I'm not saying it will happen I'm just saying it would be sick

one thing i love about kh 'family tree' diagrams is it rlly drives home how little of the confusing 'who is who and there's two copies of this guy' stuff is related to family, which is i feel where a lot of that stuff comes from in other stories. you don't have a long lost dad, you've been possessed by this old guy. oops! there's no family legacy but you ARE a clone so gl with that! bbs eraqus situation obviously exists but even then it's not blood ties. the fact that blood ties almost universally mean fuck all is actually rlly endearing to me
#like. off the top of my head the only canonical relatives anyone has are:#sora and his offscreen mom#kairi n her grandma#ienzo's dead parents#xehanort and his peepaw ephemer + keykid parent#lauriam and strelitzia#baldr and hoder#and thats IT out of the fuckoff ginormous cast!#n thats fun! i like it#this + the lack of concrete romance r rlly cool 2 me bcos like#in a lot of art Family and Love r treated as more important than other types of relationship#n kh says 'no this is interesting we will play in this space'#like yeah yeah paopu fruit yeah yeah gayass riku but the only Canon (tm) romances r from the disney worlds and im sooo happy abt it#like as a loveless aro whos lowkey nobodykin. theres a lot to say abt aromanticism n kingdom hearts. but this is undeniably great for it

I know that Idolish7 is usually split into Fly Away, Mezzo, and Pythagoras Trio. But have you also considered the High School Duo, the Loop of Positive Energy Duo, and the Legally Can Drink But Really Shouldn't Adult Trio?
#mitsuki and yamato are still together in both a rip for both of them#fandom spamdom#idolish7#note's notes#but seriously i just love to think of all the permutations of i7#theres also riku the centre and iori with mezzo and the pythag trio#then the izumi bros...the only children duo with father issues...and the complicated relationship with their only sibling trio#the point is that i need to think more about them as different groupings

in my head, xehanort has the world's weirdest parental adjacent relationship with each member of the destiny trio...
the fascination in sora's "ordinariness" and later bequeathing of the χ-blade to him, the years long investment in riku morphing into a strange guardianship, the meddling in kairi's life only to haunt her as the off-putting yet helpful spirit in her head
it's an odd "fondness" to me, an ownership in their development. everyone touches on how his presence has shaped their lives, but it's equally true that they also changed him in subtle ways. i think it's meaningful that you have ansem complimenting riku before he dies, that MX tells sora he's a better leader than him before HE dies, that you have the AX of kairi's memories guiding her in the right direction before he fades.
take from it what you will i suppose!
#happy late father's day ig#this is why i have both “ansem is riku's dad” and “ansem is kairi's dad" AUs#familial relationships are catnip to me

Hi my loves,
Question:
Where did the whole Riku doesn't like PDA thing come from?
Like baby I can recount at least 3 times where Riku was hugged/held hands with someone in times of respite, and wasn't off put about it.
Sora grabbed his hands and SOBBED on him in KH2.
Sora tackled and HUGGED him twice in KH3D in front of so many people.
Riku himself lifted and hugged Michael fucking Mouse at the end of KH2.
Please god the boy doesn't mind being touched. Release him from the shackles of No PDA in these 'x Readers/OCs.'
Sure, maybe you need to be decent friends with him to have access to his body (like any normal fucking person), but please.... PLEASE release this boy and hug him. He deserves a hug after everything he's been through.
#KH riku#kh riku x reader#kingdom hearts#kh#riku#riku kingdom hearts#kingdom hearts riku#kh sora#the riku brainrot is back babes#but like seriously#riku doesn't care about PDA as much as y'all think. im pretty sure he'd be elated to show others he's in a relationship

to add to your “why can’t they just be friends” post - why can’t kairi and sora just be friends ? the subtle clues in the storyline of KH is def leading down that path
Yeah I don't get why there always have to be a supposedly girl "love interest" character. But the phrase why can't they be friends is never stated for any straight relationships
I'm not going to pretend there wasn't something between them but after the first game, it seems Sora doesn't feel the same.
and I don't know it's not very interesting with barely any chemistry between them. In kh2 what was that reunion between them. It was awkward and their feelings have passed, but Sora being Sora didn't want to lose her and still wanted to remain her friend.
I don't think their relationship as romantic now. I think it's developed into more of a friendship. and in kh3 the paopu doesn't have to be inherently romantic but how come he felt awkward at first and only took it as a good luck charm
KH has a problem every action movie has where there always have to be a straight romantic interest when why can't they be friends and have the female character get more developed.
#kingdom hearts#aitsu heart asks#Sora#aitsu heart thoughts#Why can't they just be friends#I never hear this about Sora and Kairi#Only about Sora and Riku#Double standards#Having to use website because it wouldn't let me add tags#I wasn't able to edit it#I think the pairing is fine but there's little chemistry and seems forced just like any action films#Soriku#I prefer over them#Uhh yeah that's basically my thoughts#I do think their friendship as a whole should be more developed though#It's still lacking as a friendship#I mean the creators have stated the series was about Sora and Riku#Friendship or romantic relationship
