Do you remember before? We stood facing each other on opposite sides of that door. Now we stand side-by-side. Let's go home together this time.

i feel like its easy to forget or miss that the exact reason sora was so emotional here is bc his subconscious briefly came in contact with the memory of aqua telling sora to keep riku "safe". then sora is ripped away from this by the very person who took riku away from him. hes plunged deeper into sleep because his light (riku) was stolen. its not hard to see just why hed be feeling so emotional and delighted to see riku "safe" from harm. even outside of riku risking his life to wake sora up, i feel the fact that sora is near tears and throws his arms around riku was a bit of a nod to there being more at play here. and the reason they show riku waking up here and not sora is because it was more important for sora to see riku waking up this time. and narratively yknow "the world was freed from darkness but has yet to wake from it". at this point, riku is finally no longer trapped in a never ending nightmare of things never getting better for him and sora gets to be the one to personally greet him upon waking from that nightmare.

hes awake and hell be okay.

sora needed to have this moment. he needed to see that.

Something something kh2 Sora's outfit being primarily dark colors despite being associated with light and Riku's outfit being primarily light colors despite being associated with darkness

Bare with me, my English is a little rusty but you will get what I mean

It makes me so sad and leaves me without words when someone who is gay, kingdom hearts fan and A SORIKU SHIPPER says: “yeah but disni won’t allow the ship becoming canon”

Context: I work at anime conventions (I’m an illustrator) and a fellow artist and I were talking about kingdom hearts (actually the whole classroom were talking about kh) and I was saying stuff about the neutral pronouns they use (chain of memories) in Japanese and how the English translation messed it up.

And at some point he said that Disney won’t allow… and everyone got quiet (everyone that was present at time were soriku shippers, even my mom) before that, everyone was having a good time talking about sora and riku and how the games are cool etc we even talked about how Donald is the most powerful wizard in the kingdom hearts universe

Even with all the information I have about the games, things I discovered in my wonderful time on twitter with the soriku community. I couldn’t say anything that time and made me realise how people still think “straight is the key” on media…

But even with all that Disney allowed representation on their stuff:

Star vs forces of evil

Owl house

Luca

Onward

Zootopia

Beauty and the beast

Finding dory

Toy Story 4

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

Cruella

Lightyear

Strange world

It’s not impossible

The games are telling us a lot of things. There’s no way we are being played
