sometimes i go back and forth on whether soriku has been intentional since the start or near the start, but then I remember “I got it… You’re thinking about THAT GUY again. Aren’t you?” “Yeah, Sora’s a total zombie when that guy’s on his mind.” and I feel so rabid and insane. Like it’s right there in the second game

#fr congrats to sora and riku for being disney’s first gay characters in 2004 #possibly earlier #cause I’m almost certain the reason we don’t see riku open the door in kh1 is bc Gay #bc we’d see his reaction to the paopu fruit drawing right next to the door #and him probably abandoning kairi to find sora #so you’d Know it’s not about her #his feelings aren’t for her but… sora #i feel like i make this same post every six months #but it’s bc it does make me so crazy !!! it’s just right fhere!!!!!

Thinking about Riku overhearing the dock scene again

#thinkin about #him bringing a paopu #planning to have the three of them share it because tomorrow they are leaving #but then he overheard That #and all the pain and rage and fear bubbling up #his worst fear confirmed...getting left behind #and he storms off to the cave crying because that was always a place of comfort #but then he sees the drawing and it makes everything even WORSE #and man...we still don’t know what Kairi was even doing in there #why was she there?#did she find Riku there?#WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT

“I miss you”

#Riku misses his most precious person :(#I like to think Riku has a hard time going to that tree after all that happened including the paopu scene #he too wanted to share the fruit with Sora after all #are Riku’s eyes paopu or just stars— we may never know #holy shots I loved working on that piece #I tried a new style :)#there’s some mistakes there and there but I’m pretty proud of it!#kh #soriku #kingdom hearts #riku #kh3 #daily cup of soriku angst #mars draws

Beginning of KH Series (or at least KH1): Multiple signs of Sora having a crush on Kairi.

Middle of KH and current series: MANY signs of Sora and Riku having a very strong connection and proof of both boys having unsaid feelings and thoughts towards each other. Sora is almost always thinking of Riku, and Riku seems to be almost always thinking of Sora….

This is not meant to be hating on S*okai I promise. It’s lowkey a joke and just a point out, don’t get mad please-

#Soriku #Sora x riku #Riku x sora #me playing kingdom hearts #me playing games #idk I just love the way it changes. I’m not anti- s*okai. i love it. it’s just s little bit funny #how it changes so drastically. Sora still cares for K*airi but it’s clear that it’s not like it once was #sure he went looking for her on his own but that doesn’t mean it’s romantic. ‘but what about the paopu drawing and the scene of it???’ it #doesn’t have to be romantic. if it truly was it would’ve been told in a different way. the whole scene was K*airi reassuring Sora it would #be ‘just as friends’ or something like that. he literally stares at Riku for a whole minute basically lol. and the drawing isn’t romantic #either. and even if it was so what?? they’re children. they have crushes but it doesn’t mean they stay the same throughout life.#I’m not fighting or arguing or yelling at anyone I’m just saying how it’s funny about these signs happening and then #them changing and how some people really don’t want to see it.#they see any interaction between S*ora and K*airi as romantic even tho they’re not-#at least SOME people are-

"Kairi! Remember what you said before? I'm always with you too. I'll come back to you. I promise!"

"I know you will!"

#still has my ass...#so called free thinkers when Kairi sees Sora's paopu fruit drawing and she draws a reciprocal one

As someone who only got into KH as an adult, what do you think of Riku's motives during KH1? There's very different opinions from long time fans. From dismissive it's just badly written, he's being petty, it doesn't make sense, he's desperately in love with Kairi so he resent Sora, he's a fuckboy who always want more and never could have enough to it's gay panic from soriku fans. Some even call it plot holes since the games don't state it outright. As a new adult fan how do you see it?

I think Riku is someone very unhappy. He feels left out and forgotten by Sora and Kairi. He's jealous, for multiple reasons, but only understands some of them. He's built his identity around being the more mature, cool older brother figure, which drives an emotional wedge between him and Sora&Kairi who allow themselves to be more childish and carefree. And he doesn't really know who he is outside of this role -- hence, his fear that if Sora and Kairi don't need him anymore, they won't want him around and he won't really have a purpose. But it's a role he doesn't actually enjoy playing, as we see he's much happier when he abandons those expectations in order to follow his heart and be true to himself.

I think those expectations, forcing himself to play that role, is part of why Riku fails to express how he's feeling to his friends and begins retreating from them -- which is the "change" Kairi picks up on, but also, for instance, Selphie notices Riku sitting by himself and staring at the ocean for long periods of time. Riku's always wanted to see other worlds, but I think, by the time KH1 starts, he's started talking about it more frequently. He's started making it happen by building the raft. He is so focused on leaving, he, in his words, hasn’t even thought about what he wants to do when he gets where he’s going. I think he's frustrated that Kairi and Sora aren't really taking the raft seriously -- and though he knows Sora likes to slack off and it's not personal, I think he's hurt especially by Sora's lack of care because this is supposed to be their dream, and Sora seems happier goofing around with Kairi. But Riku tells himself it's fine because once they're sailing everything will be different. Everything will finally change. Right?

Those expectations -- to be the cool older bro figure who's strong and unbeatable and always levelheaded and never needs help, the sort of ideal Sora strives for -- are also, I think, part of why Sora does not reach out to Riku and ignores all the signs that something is really wrong until it is too late. He's used to Riku never needing his help. Even if Sora notices something is up, he's not worried because Riku can handle it on his own -- because he always does. And while Sora does gradually abandon this mindset the more he sees that Riku is capable of being manipulated and defeated -- he's only a year older than Sora, he's a kid, and he needs help sometimes because everyone does -- it's not until the end of KH2 that Sora fully gets this, as Riku lets Sora be his support and admits he's always been jealous of Sora. This is the moment they both really become equals.

What Riku tells Sora about being jealous of Sora’s ability to follow his heart and live more carefree isn't the whole truth, but it is some of it… I personally do think Riku has feelings for Sora. In KH1, I don’t think Riku understands this. A lot of what we see in the beginning of KH1 seem to be relatively new developments. Riku retreating from his friends and becoming obsessed with building the raft and leaving, like I said. But also Riku’s dragging Kairi (as a romantic interest) into his rivalry with Sora and mean-spirited teasing. Based on Sora’s surprised/confused reactions to Riku’s behavior, this has to be relatively new. If I were to speculate… I would say that Riku perhaps noticing or at least perceiving a blossoming romance between Sora and Kairi, which would also have been relatively new, is what spurned this change in behavior from him and the sudden building of the raft instead of just dreaming about it.

And that doesn’t necessarily mean Riku is jealous of Kairi in a romantic sense, as many people can feel jealous or forgotten when their best friend begins dating or hell even just starts spending a lot of time with someone else. We see this kind of jealousy when Riku meets Donald and Goofy, too, and it’s that feeling of abandonment by Sora that even pushes Riku to trust Maleficent. Riku’s mean-spirited teasing about Kairi really could just be because Riku feels like he needs Sora to feel inferior to need Riku around and Riku wants Sora’s attention… But I think there is enough, especially looking at the series collectively, to strongly argue Riku is also jealous of Kairi in KH1 because he has feelings for Sora that he doesn’t understand or know how to handle. You don’t have to like it, but to completely deny it as a possibility at this point is foolish.

There’s also the fact that Riku feels like working with Maleficent is the best move in terms of most quickly saving Kairi. To Riku, it looks like Sora is goofing around in all these different worlds, playing hero with his special sword and his new best friends who think he’s so special. He’s prioritizing people he just met and strangers over Riku and Kairi. For Riku, who seems to have always had Sora as his first priority, and probably just assumed the reverse would be true, that’s gotta feel so insane and when he’s already been feeling like Sora’s not pulling his weight in their friendship lmao… But Riku still offers Sora a chance to help him save Kairi, for them to work together.

Sora turns his blade against him, and Riku realizes Sora can’t do what Riku believes is necessary to save Kairi. Sora is not willing to get his hands dirty to help Kairi... but he is willing to sincerely fight Riku as an enemy. And that’s the breaking point for Riku, I think. That’s when making Sora lose and hurt begins to take precedence over helping Kairi. Riku wants to cram Sora back into that dependent, inferior role that Sora never truly belonged in, was (much like Riku playing the superior) also unhappy in, and certainly by the end of KH1 does not fit in any longer.

KH1 Riku’s also arrogant lmao. He’s not happy playing the repressed but cool older brother, but he is used to always winning and being the best among his peers, so that’s going to affect what he thinks he can/can’t do or handle, like when he shouts that he’s not afraid of the darkness, for instance. His failures in this game (and having his butt handed to him by Sora) definitely humble him.

So we have Riku’s motives. We have an idea of what he’s feeling and thinking: He’s jealous of Sora. He’s jealous of Kairi. He’s jealous of Donald and Goofy. He fears if Sora doesn’t need him around, Sora won’t want him around. He’s unhappy with the role he plays and the way things are and desperately wants everything to change. He feels abandoned by Sora. He feels responsible for Kairi losing her heart and wants to save her as quickly as possible. He’s arrogant. He thinks working with Maleficent is the best move to fix his mistake… and later the best way to hurt Sora, as badly as he feels Sora has hurt him.

Maybe it’s not easy to extrapolate everything from only the first game or even a first run-through of the first game, but I think it all makes sense.

#kingdom hearts #riku #sora #i think it’s funny when ppl want to argue it’s one thing #when I’d say it’s a lot of things that aren’t mutually exclusive #should i tag this w the ship tag #soriku #i also think the theory that riku either overheard kairi wanting to leave w sora or #saw the paopu sora added to the cave drawing in the secret place #was what pushed him over the edge/was the catalyst for opening the door and letting the darkness in #is not far-fetched. like i would not be surprised if they reveal that in an upcoming game #esp cause the door is right next to the drawing
