The manga implying that baby Riku saw Sora and Kairi's drawings and maybe felt left out, then kh1 Riku seeing the drawing with the paopu fruit...absolutely crushes me. God I feel that expression on his face so hard.

Thank you Re:Mind dlc for confirming that Aqua has serious ptsd from being in the RoD for 10 years and her freezing up in the face of the demon tornado was not Nomura making her weak because she’s a lady or whatever the fuck

I feel like Nomura is really good at using low saturation/cool gray colors in a really appealing way whereas in less talented hands it just looked bland and gross.
It’s been literally decades and still the Kingdom Hearts 1 secret ending remains to be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen

So did you guys know that the Final World logo animation is actually a replay of Riku's sacrifice? That animation is so loaded with symbolism it's unbelievable. It's thanks to

“Sibling coded” ain’t even a thing, either they are actually siblings, they see themselves as siblings, or they aren’t sibling. No writer is trying to sneak in hidden messages about characters being like siblings.

So we can now say without a doubt that Sora’s symbol is the crown and Riku’s is the iconic kingdom hearts heart.

Was thinking about how Hollow Bastion, being the world Riku first arrived in, is a reflection of Riku- falling to darkness, then being rebuilt in kh2 and fully restored in kh3 to Radiant Garden- and how Traverse Town might be similarly a reflection of Sora-

Man you ever just get blown away by the fact that our first ever introduction to Riku was a light blinding Sora? You think at first “oh the sun is blinding him” but then you see where he’s looking. No sun. Just Riku.

Never gonna be over Sora's face in this scene. He's all grumpy a few seconds before but when Riku puts his hand on his should, he gets the softest, most in love little smile I've ever seen.

I am once again thinking about how it wasn’t “the keyblade” that chose Sora as its wielder, it was Riku’s heart. ;__;

OH DAMN I just realized the parallel of Sora disappearing from Pooh’s heart (resulting in Sora disappearing from the book cover) and them not being able to find any clues to Sora in Kairi’s heart 😳

The fact that Nomura was so bothered by people having silly theories about why Xehanort was bald that he felt the need to clarify that he shaved it is so funny

Sometimes it hits me in the face again that Nomura had Mickey fuckin Mouse explain to Riku that his big gay feelings are the reason he feels invincible. Legendary.

On this fine Christmas Eve I’m thinking about how When Sora was 8 he went around telling everyone he didn’t believe in Santa, because Riku told him Santa didn’t exist (and probably wanted to be cool like Riku ajfFj)

Thinking about how the Final World logo is a replay of Riku’s sacrifice but without Riku...like a photograph with the person that should be in it cut out. Sora’s missing memory.

You ever think about how this would have been the smile Sora was giving Riku when he found him in kh1 if they hadn't used the cabbage face for the moment?

Imagining Sora and Riku finding each other in Those Graphics is going to give me a heart attack

When you realize that “Giving up already? I thought you were stronger than that” was just the earlier, sassier version of what Riku says to Sora in kh3, “Sora, I believe in you. You won’t give up.” And it saved Sora’s life both times.

The whole point of the Pooh parallel is that yes, Sora’s connection with Pooh/Kairi DID weaken, as certain relationships sometimes do as we grow up, but in the end you can always rebuild new connections with those people, new pathways between hearts, as Sora does in ReMind.

Sometimes kh doing the Disney movie plot is just a better choice than doing an original story because the themes of the movie supports a theme or idea that is important for Sora or others to learn or witness

I love this part, because Riku senses something wrong before even looking at Sora. He gasps a little and then turns to look at Sora and sees him standing there frozen. It reminded me of BBS, when Riku sensed Sora was sad before he even looked at him.

If this scene took place right after their first fall to darkness in the first timeline, and Sora's Dive to the Heart just happened, then Riku is literally right. Sora did swim his way out of darkness and the light of Riku's heart saw this IM DYING
