Soriku in Novels — Part 5 COM & KH1
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
From up on the hill he could see Riku gathering things. He was carrying some that looked like a big piece of cloth. Must be nice being Riku...
KH Novel
It's actually a neat perspective how in the novel Sora is actually frustrated with unable to beat Riku. Like he is his friend but he feels like he's unable to do anything better and there this constant competition between them, and because of that sadly Kairi is involved (not her choosing and her unaware of it)
But it seems him wanted to share a papou fruit with her was just to beat Riku at something. And it seems he was a bit jealous of Riku too. And Riku probably had no idea either that's why I KH2 he feels like oh he had no idea he felt that way and feels sad.
"We did it!" Without thinking, Sora hugged Riku.
"Okay, okay, quit it," said Riku, but he was smiling.
KH Novel
Okay this was cute. This is when they meet again in Traverse Town and in the novel they both help fight together and they even hug. It honestly reminded me of the pilot a bit.
Riku smiling is everything.
Beyond Naminé lay a huge device shaped like a flower bud. And inside, was Sora.
"If it isn't Sora! What have you done to him!" Riku ran over to the giant device without thinking.
Reverse Rebirth COM Novel
The only thing he cares about is Sora and what she could have done to him. That's so precious.
"Huh— I'm not afraid of being destroyed. I'm just a fake after all," said the Replica, expressionlessly. I'm not scared to be destroyed. I'm scared of what I'll forget. And— of being forgotten. Sora will remember me, won't he? Or will I get muddled up with his memories of the real thing, and be forgotten?
"I don't have a real heart. Even what I'm feeling right now is probably a lie."
The Replica smiled just a little, and light began to wrap around his body.
—Reverse Rebirth Novel
... that's sad. I know he's technically not Riku but I want to put anything Riku I suppose to show how every form of him cares about Sora.
This just breaks my heart cause it's so sad. He doesn't want to be forgotten as a Replica because he cares about Sora too.
And it's so much worse cause he forgot him. I need Sora to remember COM events.
"Am I... fading... fading under the power of light..."
If I am darkness— and if I can't fight the darkness with my own strength— I guess being destroyed by Sora is the only way, Riku thought in the depths of his fading consciousness. If I have to be defeated, I'm happy for it to be Sora.
This time it's ogRiku, but it's still sad. He doesn't mind if he gets defeated if it's by Sora. (It's actually Zexion in disguise)
He feels I guess I deserve to be defeated after everything he's done and it's sad.
"Fake or not, that doesn't matter anymore! You're here now, and you have a heart that belong to you and no-one else. Your memories belong to you and you only, so treasure them!"
Sora's words were gentle.
The Replica held back the tears that were threatening to spill over. "Sora, you're very kind," he said, back still turned. "Even a fake like me can see how real your feelings are... that's good enough for me."
Right now, Sora's feelings are good enough for me, the Replica thought. The fact that I met Sora is good enough for me.
— Reverse Rebirth novel
REPLIKU MAKES ME SAD CRYAHGDHSJJK
It's so sad because Sora's words touched him and his heart. Since he's made of Riku, he feels similar things.
But Sora is like you are you and is so passionate abd is similar to how Riku feels about nobodies in KH2
Also what's this about feedings...? He can see how real his feelings are and that's good enough for him.
I'm not one— no, I'm a fake, memories and existence and all, I'm what's before you become someone. But Sora talks to me like I've been his friend for a long, long time.
This pained the Replica.
— Reverse Rebirth Novel
Repliku so precious and deserves a hug as much as ogRiku. Sora still cares no matter what and Repliku still feels for Sora.
"Well, Sora. You didn't think about my feelings, either. Naminé's not the only one who doesn't want to see your face again. Neither do I," the boy shot, and leapt. Why don't I want to see Sora?
Why am I so angry?
—Reverse Rebirth Novel
Repliku is conflicted with his feelings unsure why he is angry with him because he remembers the feelings (Riku) has for him 💔😭
I need someone to tell Sora to remember events from COM, please after Riku finds Sora in Quadratum they act gay and do a rehash of KH2 Reunion before exploring worlds TOGETHER like they always wanted they go home.
Sora then sees Naminé and tells her thank you for real and then in turn, he remembers COM stuff and Repliku and it turns out Naminé requested for Zexion and Vexen to make Riku Replica. Then Sora remembers stuff and Repliku is happy again.
Face looking a little uneasy, Sora tried to grab my outreached hand.
At that moment, I didn't even notice what was happening around me. I didn't even look. Sora, at the end of my out reached hand, was so much more than everything else.
Just a little more and my hand would reach.
— Reverse Rebirth
Sora being at the end of his hand was so much more important THAN ANYTHING?! ASHSHHSSKSKSK Sora is that important and he wanted him to take his hand.
That's right— Sora would be the first thing Kairi worried about, every time. But, I was the same. As long as I was with Sora, I could go anywhere. That's what I thought. And moreover, with Kairi there, who I supposed knew about other worlds... we could go anywhere, that's what I thought.
— Reverse Rebirth
Aww he believes Kairi is what Sora thinks is most important (it's actually Riku). But the bolded words—and if you remember bolded lines throughout all these parts means they're especially cute and Soriku coded— but Sora helps him be able to go anywhere too.

#kingdom hearts dream drop distance#khddd#sora#riku#nightmare's end#mirage split#my gif#i was going to write up a whole thing in the tags about my thoughts on this keyblade#but i just know it'll be an incoherent essay because i can't properly articulate my thoughts#the x-blade must be forged through a clash of light and darkness#but i find it so highly significant that sora and riku can create their own keyblade which is so unheard of#this keyblade isn't created with a clash but rather through harmony and balance#not with conflict but with understanding and connection and love#and i always felt as though that's how the x-blade SHOULD be forged. that master xehanort went about it all wrong#because balance and connections are such important themes in these games#it has two handles and looks so regal when combined. all of the shapes feel reminiscent of the x-blade too#it shines so brilliantly with both sora and riku's symbols. the heart and crown which is the iconic logo for the entire series#also the way stained glass is always used to represent hearts. it's so significant!#and yeah the paupu fruit keychain is its own thing to unpack#okay so i ended up writing something anyway but there's still so much more#i just really hope we get to see more of this in future games because it would be shocking if it was nothing more than a cool combo attack

you think it'll ever be the same again between us?
#sorikai#sora#riku#kairi#kh3#kingdom hearts#thareniart#if the games don't show me the aftermath of sora's disappearance then fine i will draw it myself#also i just really wanted to draw the difference in dynamics esp cause i love exploring riku and kairi's dynamic#they deeply care about one another but they also both love sora so much you can't tell me it would be sunshine and rainbows#they'd be so heartbroken with no one to take it out on other than each other

You're the sunflower/I think your love would be too much
#WOO FINALLY DONE#considered doing a second part with hanahaki riku buuuut. i got a car journey in an hour or so and im impatient#so doing it later means not at all#but anyway!!! had fun w him#still tryna figure out how to draw sora ill prob redraw this when i figure it out#rearranged the heart station more toward the redesigned one but then didnt rlly follow thru cus i wanted both riku and kairi on it LMAO#also i think i drew them too small for this to come across but my thought process was “sora with lots of freckles = sunflower center bit”#and obvi the station of awakening as well#was gonna be kh2 sora but hnnng his design is. so much#ambitious#i think “your love would be too much” works for every version of soriku though so its okay#soriku#kingdom hearts#soriku endgame actually#kh sora#kingdom hearts sora#sora kingdom hearts#riku kingdom hearts#bev draws#beverly says stuff#this happened cus 2 nights ago i satr up in bed and said THIS SONG IS SO SORIKU CODED#and then i wanted to make the sunflowers behind him look like stained glass#but i didnt know how & figured putting a station there would give a similar effect#regardless! sora looks kinda goofy in the face but im p happy w this !#using references are for cowards (NOT ACTUALLY. USE REFERENCES DO NOT FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE)#kh#kh1#kh1 sora#kh1 riku#also tried out some different brushes for colouring this and i like them :3

Oh, you have a new name but sometimes dickhead people and your parents call you by your other name? Always an outcast in the society you grew up in? Not fitting in line with what was deemed acceptable in the standard norms? Choosing found family over a blood family that still refuses to see you as you are, who call you too young and delusional to know whats best for yourself? Pink, white and blue color schemes? Are you Sora from Ninjago or are you trans? Answer quickly
#ninjago#dragons rising#ninjago dragons rising#lego ninjago#lego ninjago dragons rising#sora#ninjago sora#trans#trans sora#its not a coincidence i refuse to believe its a coincidence#'my name is SORA'#YES girl go OFF girl that IS YOUR NAME!!!!!#i say this as a trans person myself. this girl as trans coded as gwen from spiderverse you know i have a point#this is a trick question you are both sora AND you are trans PEACE AND LOVE ON PLANET EARTH AMEN

soriku kh4 reunion angst thoughts
#ff#clerith#kh4#soriku#last reblog prompted me to bring this here#cloud losing his taisetsu na hito 🤝 riku losing his taisetsu na hito#both continuing to look for them and hopefully both getting them back in future games#both of them connecting in dreamlike states#and Cloud and Sora having sky themed names while Aerith and Riku have earth themed names#hearing Aerith be described as Cloud’s taisetsu no hito made me scream in soriku#also I love how in the Riku episode in remind Aerith is beside him during all the cutscenes#cause I was getting screenshots of Sora and Cloud and Riku and Aerith together to make a post and I noticed they were always close#earth themed second protagonist solidarity + them being friends is neat I think#and regarding Sora and Cloud my fave scene with them is in coded when Cloud and Herc praise data Sora and he blushes and panics ndjsjs#its got nothing to do with this parallel but it’s iconic to me djjsjs#Sora’s type is strong men

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
#something something riku letting himself be eclipsed by darkness (taking on ansem sods form + black coat) to preserve soras light from afar#only to cast it off and return to light (true form + lighter colored outfit) once hes reunited with sora#ALSO something something riku using a blindfold to shield himself from the light (sora/his feelings for sora) to ensure he remains in the da#rk#ALSO soras red (sunset-dawn-light) to rikus blue/purple (midnight-dusk-dark)#but they still both have traces of yellow (sun-stars-moon-union of day and night)#the sun chasing the moon but never fully catches up until the moon aligns itself with it- a solar eclipse#a union that takes both parties meeting halfway to achieve- a chase that ends when the target wants it to- connection and love and wanting#im getting off track my point is FOILS!!!!! OPPOSITES!!!!!! SHOWING CONNECTION THROUGH ASSOCIATIONS#brb im going insane#sora#riku#soriku#kingdom hearts#kingdom hearts 2#kh#kh2#xander rambles

continuning off my tags on this post
i went off but like tumblr kinda cut my tags inhalf so
But the thing is, this wouldn't be a problem if Ninjago had better written female characters. This is an intresting storyline. But Ninjago doesn't write their female characters as characters. They write them as love intrest or maternal figures.
Yes ninjago got better with it later into it's life span, season 8 being the first or closet season to introducing a prominate female character who are more than just their relationships with the male characters, multiple even. Harumi having goals and motivations other than her relationship with Lloyd and was her own character. Mystake is her own character. Nya is seperated from Jay and is allowed to act as her own character outside of Jay.
But this was seven years into Ninjago's lifespan. There is genuniely no good excuse that Ninjago took so long to have their female characters be characters. And even then it's not perfect, with Harumi's character being heavily linked to Garmadon. And frankily being ruinned in crystalized, by her character getting boilled down to Lloyd's love intrest. Her motivations being 'because the plot said so.' instead of her own goals and intrests.
But at least that's a turning point, a shift in writing towards their female characters that Ninjago is mostly consistant on, ignoring Harumi's character deterioration.
But the treatment of Ninjago's treatment of female characters in the early seasons still echo's on towards late in the series. Skylor remaining as a plot device for all of her appearances, because of early Ninjago failing to establish Skylor as a character of her own character, so the writers don't know what to do with her beyond her powers. Even adding a previously unestablished limit to her power, purely just for the sake of the plot.
And the idea that all girls in the show are love intrests or mothers, deeply embeded itself into the fandom. Most people assuming that Cole and Vania was a canon relationship, dispite them being comfirmed to be purely platonic, both in and out of the show. Purely because, He's a guy, she's a girl, and that's what Ninjago normally does with their female characters. That's what they're expecting.
It's why i love Sora. She is so much more than her relationship with the male main characters, and it's the same with all female characters in DR. But it's ashame Ninjago took so long to get to this point.
#lego ninjago#ninjago#ninjago dragons rising#ninjago nya#ninjago skylor#ninjago pixal#ninjago vania#ninjago cole#ninjago mystake#ninjago sora#ninjago harumi#i almost forgot to mention wyldfyre and robbie#but theres not much to say#love them so bc its kailor if both people in the relationship were characters with goals and motivations other than being a love intrest

Skuld in quantum design :)
#kingdom hearts#kh#khux#khux Skuld#kh skuld#kingdom hearts Skuld#skuld kh#Skuld kingdom hearts#got distracted from typing the tags by going to watch cutscenes with Skuld my friend Skuld in them#I love her#design notes: she got the scarf because it reminded her of Ephemer AND Braig#you can’t see it but under it she has a star necklace that reminded her of Player#this is based on the subject x Skuld theory! hence the scar. she got it either from just player or got one of the lines from fighting#darkness and the other from player idk#her coat was given to her by Braig/Luxu when he broke her out of radiant garden! it’s slightly too small for her now#she’s tall!!! to me. over 6ft. not quite Lea but still tall#her earrings are the only things that survived from her original outfit. everything else is new#she doesn’t have gloves because I forgo. then I was really happy with how I shaded the hand so I’m not putting gloves on her now.#but she probably does have them#she’s been living in Quantum for a while and is sorta tied up in some illegal shit but nothing really bad.#her and Strelitzia are friends!!! they met at a coffee shop when it was raining and Shuld was the only one with an umbrella#they didn’t realise they were both from daybreak until Skuld saw a painting Strez did and broke down crying.#her memory is still kinda fucked. when she first arrived in Quantum she didn’t remember her name yet and went by X.#she started collecting things that reminded her of the friends she couldn’t quite remember. she’s got a shoe box or two of trinkets#she also will get something if it reminds her of Lea/Isa because even if being in RG was hell she still misses them.#also Vanitas is there. he’s her terrible little brother who bites people. she loves him. he is the only reason she knows her own name#she found him and her heart recognised him as Ventus her brother Ventus. she knows he’s not all of Ventus now but it’s too late#he’s her little brother now. she’s trying to rehabilitate him like taming a feral kitten. he’s switching between ‘I want to be loved’ and#‘I’m evil fuck you’. she introduces as ‘this is my evil brother he is terrible and rude but we’re working on it and I love him.’#she would get along great with Sora I think.

Kingdom Hearts 3 - San Fransokyo
#kingdom hearts 3#kh3#san fransokyo#scenery#my gif#made sure to put equal parts night and day versions of the city#because i think they both look stunning#i love the verticality of this world. it's fun to climb up to the highest point and fly over all the buildings#if i played this game as a kid i feel like i would 100% pretend sora lived in this city and would find a house for him haha#something that always piqued my curiosity was sora's initial response to first setting foot in this world#he's immediately amazed by what he sees and remarks in awe of the city that he hasn't even fully entered yet (he's still on the bridge)#then he quickly pulls out is phone and wants to tell riku all about it even though he just got there#(i'm sad they didn't make a kingstagram post about it that we could see!)#being islanders from a small town i can imagine it'd be an exciting idea to visit a big bustling city and i wondered if that's-#something they've ever talked about together whenever the topic of exploring new worlds came up as children#it could be some sneaky foreshadowing since the secret ending has sora and riku in quadratum which is also a big city with tall buildings#and i'm sure it's no coincidence that a version of riku shows up in san fransokyo

Echo and Sora doodles that I've been scribbling down while I genuinely attempt writing again.
I haven't touched my WIP fic in months but yesterday I opened the google doc and actually wrote some stuff. Can you believe it? I am trying to ride the creative wave as hard as I can before I burnout.
#@zerger33 threatened me to post this sketchdump. So just doing my duty as a friend.#are you happy now Dragon?? I posted the doodles of my girls like you wanted!!#I am so nervous posting pencil sketches but I'm going for it!!#Overall I'm just happy I was able to make art at all#echo/eevee#sora/riolu#In my fic they're both evolved already but I wanted to finalize their unevolved appearances and I'm pretty satisfied#Also... gotta give Fuji a tiny bit of credit behind me posting this. I saw that tag in your last ask post Fuji. And it made me feel loved.#It gave me that last little push even though Dragon shoved me metaphorically.#Dragon and Fuji I love you both <3#pmd eos#explorers of sky

Y’all ever think about if Sora falls to darkness that inside his heart will look like the Destiny Islands falling again
#i do a lot#kingdom hearts#one of the biggest reasons i think we’ll see something like this in canon. briefly at least#not only would parallel ddd w ven’s heart/armor no longer there to protect sora#and roxas and xion gone from sora’s heart too. so sora would be alone#and actually there as opposed to in the RoL/awake when riku dives in#but also there is no way nomura’s gonna pass up the chance to bring us full circle like this. he loves making his characters revisit/relive#worlds and memories like this to make a point. and sora’s heart was sunset in ddd… following kh1 the dark and stormy night comes next#The thought of sora and riku reaffirming their love and friendship here when it broke the first time the islands fell#both of them having to in a way relive this horrible night for the final time#but riku doing the total opposite of last time. trying to save sora trying to stop the darkness from consuming everything#being totally honest with sora. reaching his hand out for sora but this time he’s not being consumed by darkness.#he’s become the light in the darkness. and they finally reach each other they finally grasp hands. I’m chewing on glass#i don’t think sora would ‘fall’ to darkness in the traditional sense#thematically i think it makes more sense for him to be faced w another martyr choice#though his own negative feelings would still be tangled up in there. and this would parallel kh3#and if sora chooses to let darkness into his heart to save others it’d also parallel kh1 w riku choosing to open the door/let the darkness#into destiny islands at the risk of others#god it’d be just like kh1 but we’d be playing as riku and he’d be the one looking frantically for sora#a reversed dynamic. but now they understand each other’s pain and feelings so they can reach each other#figuratively and literally#i love parallels i love symbolism i love themes kick my ass !!!!
