Smth smth theres a lot of readings for found family in kh, and found family doesn't necessarily mean seeing each other as familial but its interesting how Vanitas is the only character to actively 'seek' out an explicit familial connection in his 'brothers' who never reciprocate that sentiment and later 'dies' as almost a narrative punishment for trying to obtain it.

Which is to say, what did family mean to him and where he got the idea of brothers in the first place like that. And how his perception of family must be incredibly warped.

#do i dare tag him? yes #kh #kh vanitas #i struggle to call this analysis but ill come back to it (maybe) to elaborate #like obviously im not saying boohoo vanitas but like. does he view family as the only sure fire connection and tether to another person.#a forcefully connection they cant break and leave him bc its by 'blood' and therefore permanent?#at some point its was to have a layer of separation between he and ventus but at the same time to say that theyre bound by the same tether #similar how family is like: you can change who you share your blood with #so its both tragic and toxic #while also interesting bc he also just wants to destroy Ventus/amas him back to be his own full person again against his wishes #and disregard Ventus is personhood almost like a family member trying to live vicariously through another #or their own achievements as their own #and Yeah he shares a face with sora and is slightly connected due to sora protecting Ven #BUT its not nearly the same with Ven and Vanitas could have easily disregarded their connection since they just share a face #but NAH he made that another 'blood' connection and took it seeing the chance at another connection #also what was he gonna do to sora is he did merge with Ven?#bc yeah he follows Xehanort but id imagine he'd be able to keep Sora around?? or like again. Sora would be his only 'forced to stay' bond #and probably wouldn't immediately attsck him bc hes bound to that same 'familial' connection #GOD i wish he was less toxic about it lol bc its so sad to thing Vanitas #held onto the part of Ven that wanted to be accepted and loved unconditionally #but hes not the 'ideal' version so no one would stick around so he's like: “okay ill MAKE you stay”#blue speaks
