Cheering my sister on while she plays through the KH series (always wanted to as a kid but we were poor) and oh revisiting DDD makes my HEART GO CRYING MODE I LOVE THEM YOUR HONOUR
So this post was originally something entirely different for an entirely different fandom but I'm rewriting it now as what I really want to talking about.
youtube
It's a fucking. WALTZ.
The Soriku side of the fandom has picked this song to bits, having the game featuring the two main characters who have one of the strongest bonds in the series and having their theme for the game where they're together be a waltz is just a perfect hint towards their possible romantic relationship together.
Frankly, I think that's just beautiful, and if we ever get another kh game where we play both Riku and Sora, I'd love to see the DB call back to this song in some way. I also like how it's most magical, dreamlike. It fits DREAM drop distance.
I dunno, I love this song so much. It's definitely not my favorite Dearly Beloved (save me days/com/mom/kh2 db... save me) but it's up there. Then again ranking the Dearly Beloveds is a task no one should even try to do because they're all just so damn good. Yoko please come back for kh4, DBs aren't the same without you.
For the -1 person curious what the original post was gonna look like, it was gonna be something like "oh yeah these two fictional relationships soirta mirror each other in how they play out, one starting with hatred and the other ending with it" and how this is the db that would be on my playlist for them because I love the idea of the two dancing no idea why but just gahhhh them <3
Now that I think about it, I should rank the DBs, just to see how much I can screw that list up and have it all change in a day max.
i’ve been thinking about this all day at work but i like to imagine that after riku reaches out for sora in ddd and has the moment of
oh he’s not actually there
and pulls away, that in the moment where sora is all excited to see him and hugging him after waking up
that riku reaches back out for his face again and just being able to feel the warmth from his cheek and having sora safe and in front of him, all happy to see riku is safe as well, he just melts into it, feeling content and happy to have sora in his life and can be near him like this
