The First Time Chloe Got Red a Gift:

Chloe, clearly excited, running up to Red: Red look what I got!

Red, giving Chloe her attention: What is it Bluely?

Chloe handing Red a bracelet she made: This is for you!

Red eyeing it suspiciously, holding it in her hands gently, eyeing all the sparkles on it: Chloe- I uh-

Chloe, taking it the wrong way, thinking Red hates it due to her hesitance: [A little choked up because she’s upset] Fine! If you don’t want it I’ll take it back! [Reaches for the bracelet]

Red, putting the sparkly bracket on and holding her arm out of Chloe’s reach: NO! MINE! I WANT IT! ITS MINE!

"Yeah, but we talked about it and I didn’t want it." "Why not?" "Because it scared me."

Sunken Ships and SoRiku

Hi internet void. I went feral and maybe you'll read the result.

KH has made a lot of choices around SoRiku from a narrative perspective that, in isolation, wouldn't amount to much. A heart-to-heart here, a questionable line there, and so on. The usual things that one would do to court a queer shipping audience in an otherwise het or unromantic work. And SoRiku circles have painstakingly documented every instance to show something that looks more like a consistent and intentional effort rather than a few dollops here and there to keep shippers engaged. There's... a lot. But one stupid, insignificant thing really shook me up and made me a believer in SoRiku Endgame, Actually.

Silly as it is, it's Nomura's reaction to people shipping RikuNami that gets me the most.

Generally speaking a writer doesn't want to interact with fandom shipping unless it's to urgently course correct. As in it would be catastrophic to the narrative if the fandom had the wrong idea. Otherwise it's best to just take note of how people are interpreting things and adjust the next installment accordingly, or live and let live. Keep distant and don't risk accusations of retconning/bad writing/queerbaiting in bad faith. So the normal reaction from Nomura seeing people get excited over RikuNami would have been to just do nothing. But instead, the scene was patched to downplay the smile, and Nomura went on the record to clarify that it's not a setup for a romantic relationship between Riku and Namine.

That's insane.

Why is it so important that Riku remain romantically uninterested in a girl he'd have a natural connection to, huh? What about accidentally implying RikuNami was so detrimental to the story that it was changed and explicitly addressed like that? Even if it wasn't meant to be, surely letting it play out like AkuRoku did would be enough. Just gently clarify and move on with the story (which pretty much sunk the ship on it's own anyway). You don't wade into fandom shipping and launch nuclear warheads like Nomura did against RikuNami unless you want to leave no room for doubt.

Torpedoing RikuNami also doesn't help them keep up appearances in terms of straightness at this point. Leaving it intact would only help the case of Riku and Sora being bffs with the strongest bond 5ever- a huge boon for the writing team if they wanted to avoid things looking too gay. Nomura et. al. are absolutely aware of the impressions and jokes about how gay KH is. And KH definitely would not be the first series to play in to queer ship teasing for the lols until it's time to pair everyone up at the end.

But they did the one thing you're not supposed to do if you're just aiming to queerbait: undermining the plausible straight ship. You don't eliminate the only straight option for your character like that for the sake of "he so gay" jokes! Having a straight option available is vital to make the bait; they don't have to be compelling or important to the story, they just have to exist. Yet at this point, Riku's only option is Sora. They went out of their way to ensure we wouldn't think anything else makes sense for him.

Holy. Shit.

Hello please understand that in that artwork of Horus being coronated his cape is so very big. He could fit under his cape, his sons could fit under his cape, they could all fit under his cape and be pretty comfortable about it. Which is what I think happened post coronation. Dad’s been promoted so it’s movie night, get comfy under the large plush cape, decide on what action movie you want to watch, and don’t hog the popcorn bowl :)

thank you for this, like so much. i woke up to this and just kept thinking about it all day. mournful i couldn't make a more polished piece for this but i had to do something. they're everything.

no movies in this pic, just some joking and storytelling from tarik and plenty of cuddles after a big day. they're all plenty enriched simply with each others presence + a moment of peace :)
