now that i think about it the kingdom hearts games have done a really shite job of convincing me that riku and kairi are friends for any reason besides sora. like they both saw that kid and thought the exact same thing and while i couldn't tell you what it was, i have been given no indication of any reason they'd be friends outside of their mutual affection for Mr McSunshine Ass and i think it's hilarious

#esp bc the first game tried so hard to convince you riku was doing everything for kairi #but like. it doesn't hit for me at all.#and then during the 358 timeline. he just leaves her on destiny islands lol #like on one hand it's a form of protection bc ig there's no danger on the islands now #but sheesh homie she's supposed to be your friend and you ghosted her #tho to be fair he ghosts sora too so perhaps the point is moot #in any case they spend a ridiculous amount of time developing sora and riku's no homo i swear totally no homo friendship #and they tell don't show sora and kairi's relationship (platonic or romantic is unclear but implied through 'boy and girl make eye contact')#and maybe this is bc i haven't exactly studied up on the games to properly source my argument #but i feel like i can name three times riku and kairi were in the same room onscreen without sora also being there #like. there's yen sid's tower in bbs 0.2 #there's the world that never was in kh2 in the leadup to the final xemnas showdown #and there's the final world or w/e it's called in MoM #tho they were only together in MoM bc they're looking for sora so does it really count #idk it's hilarious they're a core trio but i have no idea what riku and kairi's dynamic is in canon #if anyone who knows more is willing to drop into my askbox and infodump about them #i would absolutely preesh that #(and no i'm not counting kh1 as being in the same room bc kairi's heart wasn't in it)#(aka she was literally unconscious like. that shit doesn't count and you know it)#kingdom hearts #sora #riku #kairi #there let's see if this hits the tags #i'd like people to talk to me about them #not kpop #shut up vic
