Thank you! I got KHII when it first came out, but I never finished it. I kept seeing people loving Axel/Roxas, but I guess I was too focused on Riku/Sora and my hatred for Kairi to notice any other pairings. Actually, I didn't pay much attention to any new characters or the fact that Kairi stopped being an annoying little bitch. I was stupid. And fourteen, which kind of explains the stupid.

Well, I started a new game this week and I started really seeing the relationship there. Then I read what happens with them in the game. It's one of the most beautiful, amazing relationships I've seen, and I don't usually like doomed couples. I'm still a Riku/Sora girl at heart, but I'm definitely making room for these two.

Your essay was simply gorgeous! If I wasn't so damn tired that my eyes feel like sandpaper, I would probably have teared up while reading it. I know I'm going to cry, at least a little, when Axel dies. My God, thank you SO much for this.

Also, I think the creators of these games do this on purpose. There is no other explanation for how canon Axel/Roxas and Riku/Sora are. Seriously.

I'm gonna go sleep and dream happy (or possibly thoroughly depressing), Kingdom Hearts-related dreams now.
