Got into Kingdom Hearts. Thinking a lot about the little brother of all time not being allowed to keep his friends/older siblings without darkness taking them away. He’s so lonely :(

That criminal's to be hanged for his crimes. Now, now, it's all right. Listen to me. All of this is as it should be.

I don't think I've ever really spoken in depth about how much I love Lauriam as a character, which is honestly a crime because out of all the Union Leaders I'd probably have to crown him as my number one favorite.
I love Lauriam not only as a character (pink, sibling plotline) but also as an example of how much prequels can recontextualize an entire character. While Ventus is also an example of this, I think we all knew that he probably had some sort of messed up past that landed him in the clutches of Old Man Xehanort. Marluxia, on the other hand, had absolute zero background to infer from his screentime. He was the villain, you're not really meant to think too hard about him and how he became who he is because he sucks and you hate him.
I don't think there were many people chomping at the bit wanting to get info about his past. Like, it would've been cool to get, but I don't think a background for Marluxia was necessary for the story at that point in time. His role was to establish the organization as a threat to Sora and the other guardians, and that was pretty much the extent of it.
And then Union X happened, and Lauriam entered stage right into a tragedy where his fate was already sealed. You look at Lauriam with his polite little smiles and cute little chibi animations and immediately think "what is this man up to" because you are already primed to distrust him on principle due to COM. Did not help his case that he was introduced in the cutscene immediately following the death of Strelitzia, painting a huge target on his back. Fandom reaction was hostile towards him before he was even fully on screen. Occam's Razor, the most obvious answer is the correct one. Lauriam is the obvious suspect because of his actions in the future, so he must be the killer. Literally him just existing in a scene caused more ire to build against him.
But then the Shift Pride cutscene happened. Then it was revealed that Lauriam and Strelitzia -the girl who so many thought he killed- were siblings, and that he was quite worried for her wellbeing, actually.
Every cutscene a clearer picture of who Lauriam is a person was painted, and soon you stopped looking at him with distrust, and it's replaced with the question of "What happened to you?". What happened that caused Lauriam, someone who has been shown to care deeply and immensely about the people he loves, someone who is willing to do anything for those people, become Marluxia? It became increasingly obvious that they were incredibly different people, even though Marluxia came from Lauriam.
And this isn't to say that there was no connection between the two. Lauriam seemed to be incredibly self-confident in his abilities, enough to be pretty steadfast in his resolve to square up with goddamn Maleficent of all people (even if he did get his ass kicked). There's also his very intense anger, as seen in the cutscene where Ventus confesses to being the reason why Strelitzia "vanished", as well as a bit in the scene where he's at Ventus's bedside.
This is all to say that Lauriam was not a necessary addition to the khux cast, he very well could've been swapped with a random new character and the plot probably would've worked fine, all things considered. But because it's Lauriam -the somebody of a character that has already been established to be a prick- it gives his whole plotline a hell of a lot more punch. If it was a new character, people probably wouldn't have been as distrusting of him right of the bat, the sibling plotline would be sweet, but because it's Lauriam and we know how he ends up in the future, it becomes a hell of a lot more tragic. How did the change happen? He's tragic because we know that whatever he does will lead to the outcome of him losing his heart and falling to darkness, something that is essentially the exact antithesis of the keyblade wielder mission statement.
Lauriam is someone who was made to struggle against the destiny that was written out for him with a neat pen and ink, and someone who was doomed to fail in every regard. He could not save his sister, he could not defeat Maleficent, he could not help Ventus, he could not keep his memories when thrown into the future. He couldn't do anything about it.
I realize this is all rounding back around to "the inherent tragedy of prequels" but it's true.
...and yeah that's basically it. I have a lot more thoughts about this guy but I feel like if I write anymore I'm just gonna sound completely incomprehensible bc I'm very tired. Thanks for reading, and don't forget to sparkle on

Was Sora asleep during the course of COM?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What initially made me consider such a thing was how there were two sides to COM much like 3D and Sora was sleeping on the 13th floor on his side while...he shows up on the 1st floor on Riku's side.
Tumblr media
Hence...COM is likely to be inside a dream.
Let's start with Marluxia. It's revealed in KH3 that he's capable of putting someone to sleep with the flick of his wrist.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You know, for someone who supposedly dies BEFORE Sora goes to sleep...He's sure smug about this. The fact that he knows about this at all is quite curious! Not to mention, Marluxia is the first person Sora encounters in COM even before he reaches Castle Oblivion. Could Marluxia have done this without them realizing it?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And what about the Nightmare Riku has to face off against in 3D? Does it kind of look...reminiscent of someone to you?
Now to Riku.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chirithy (Dream Eaters) are capable of discerning scents of both light and darkness. From the get-go of Riku's entrance to COM, he has the ability to smell light and darkness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Often joked about, this is actually one of the biggest hints that Riku has been a Dream Eater for longer than we think.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And he continues this chain of behavior in Days while Sora sleeps. So if Riku shows some weird sign(s) of Dream Eater powers like smelling light and darkness or helping wake people like Xion up from horrible nightmares (Zexion was Riku's "twofold nightmare" in COM), odds are Sora is sleeping somewhere offscreen!
Finally, the lesson to be taken from this.
Tumblr media
With COM elements being brought up again after KH3, I think more may be revealed with time.
