Xigbar's nicknames for Roxas are actually puns in Japanese.

Tiger is pronounced as "Tora". Tora, Sora.

Kiddo is pronounced as "Key-to". Key, Keyblade. Key, X.

And Roxas does not like being called either.

i have this gif saved that i use frequently on discord and it HAUNTS me because i have no idea what the context is. i need to know why this exists.

(Image i.d.: a watercolor bookmark featuring Axel, Xion, and Roxas in their Organization cloaks. Axel frowns a little with his arms crossed; Xion has her hood up in profile, face obscured but hair visible; Roxas is in profile, mouth slightly open in a scowl. A silvery border frames the bookmark with circular decorations reminiscent of the Castle That Never Was; lines extend from the top left in a sun-ray pattern across the bookmark. The username and date are written below on a separate piece of paper. End i.d.)

First time drawing the Sea Salt Trio together in a while! Since this month’s bookmark was for Days, I couldn’t resist a little angst lol. Fun detail: the little cheek shine on Roxas is shaped like a heart!

Sora's been plural from like step one in Kingdom Hearts. Only a couple hours in the first game he gets Kairi's heart in him and she just starts talking to him from time to time. In Chain of Memories he's always talking to someone who's basically a halfway alter between him and Kairi. KH2 is straight up plural with everything with Roxas. 358/2 Days has Xion yet another him who gets put back in his body. Birth By Sleep Ventus (and possibly Vanitas) turn out to have taken residence in his heart since he was 4?? Re:Coded is just a data him running around. And Dream Drop Distance he sees everyone kicking around in his heart as he explores his dreams. wtf.

this kid isn't just plural he's like. Mega plural. omg.

Telling Ven and Roxas apart headcanons:

- Aqua, Terra, Lea, and Sora almost never mix them up. When they do, it's usually when they're distracted and barely paying attention to which one they're talking to. It's just that easy for them to tell from their personalties, manners, how they speak, and the minor differences in their appearances. However, as everyone gets used to having both Roxas and Ventus around, they start accidentally mixing their names up the way parents do with their kids - they're not really thinking that Ventus IS Roxas, they know this is Ventus, but Roxas is the name that came out of their mouth anyway. This eventually happens a lot and Roxas jokes that they should wear name tags. Ventus says that it wouldn't help.

- Isa and Naminé can mostly tell them apart but sometimes they like. Squint at the boys, unsure. Naminé will just be like 'are you Roxas or Ventus' (Ven: It's Ven :)! Roxas: wow Naminé I'd never mix YOU up with Kairi or Xion god). Isa doesn't like to ask but eventually he will if he can't figure it out.

- Riku can't tell them apart at a glance, but after engaging them in conversation he can figure it out pretty quick. Mainly because Ven is really friendly with him and Roxas not as much.

- Kairi is confused at first but then gets really good at telling.

- Vanitas never mixes them up, but he will tease Roxas about 'stealing' his brother's face and is also rude to him a lot.

- Xion can also always tell them apart. It's kind of uncanny: even if one of them comes up to her and she only gets a glimpse of them, without hearing them speak or them do anything distinctive, she knows exactly who it is. Does she just know them both that well, or is it a weird side effect of her mimickery? No one knows.

- Yen Sid and Mickey insist it's 'obvious' which is which. Though Mickey has definitely called Roxas 'Ven' by accident.

- Donald and Goofy are honestly a little lost.

- Most of the Radiant Garden lot are as well, but Aerith can tell them apart. Leon and Cloud usually avoid names just in case.

- Hayner/Pence/Olette find it very trippy that Ventus looks like Roxas, but they take a couple minutes to learn the differences between them and then never mix them up.

lil cairo blep. if you need one

[syndianites]

has anyone made a Kingdom Hearts 2 AU where when Riku went to nab Roxas, Roxas managed to escape? Because I'm seriously considering writing that, and would LOVE to see what ideas other people had.

my general premise would be that Roxas, realizing that if he almost got grabbed by Riku that the Org would probably be able to take him down, decides to go into temporary hiding to get stronger and such. This leads him to the worlds Sora went to in KH2, and maybe leads him to DDD and him jumping into Sora's dreams as a means of escape (which would require me to revist DDD because its been a minute).

I also have the idea that while Riku would be the main "antagonist" the final boss would be Sora himself- either as a battle of wills where Roxas, either finally caught by Riku or forced to encounter Sora's sleepy body, tries to fight to keep his existence, or where Roxas fights of a representation of Sora's memories? dreams? Basically, Roxas tries to wake up Sora without giving himself up by fighting the memory leak/body disconnect Sora has.

It sounds complicated, but what about KH isnt? lol
