#xehanort and his peepaw ephemer + keykid parent

[dullahandyke]

one thing i love about kh 'family tree' diagrams is it rlly drives home how little of the confusing 'who is who and there's two copies of this guy' stuff is related to family, which is i feel where a lot of that stuff comes from in other stories. you don't have a long lost dad, you've been possessed by this old guy. oops! there's no family legacy but you ARE a clone so gl with that! bbs eraqus situation obviously exists but even then it's not blood ties. the fact that blood ties almost universally mean fuck all is actually rlly endearing to me

#like. off the top of my head the only canonical relatives anyone has are: #sora and his offscreen mom #kairi n her grandma #ienzo's dead parents #xehanort and his peepaw ephemer + keykid parent #lauriam and strelitzia #baldr and hoder #and thats IT out of the fuckoff ginormous cast! #n thats fun! i like it #this + the lack of concrete romance r rlly cool 2 me bcos like #in a lot of art Family and Love r treated as more important than other types of relationship #n kh says 'no this is interesting we will play in this space' #like yeah yeah paopu fruit yeah yeah gayass riku but the only Canon (tm) romances r from the disney worlds and im sooo happy abt it #like as a loveless aro whos lowkey nobodykin. theres a lot to say abt aromanticism n kingdom hearts. but this is undeniably great for it
