WUUUUT?? D: (Blitz)

[finem]

I totally started getting misty-eyed while writing a part of Blitz today! WTF? I don't even think it was all that sad tho maybe it hit a little too close to home? so if anyone wants a baby tiny spoiler...and to snicker at the thing that got me randomly emotional...

No No I don't think you overreacted there. At all.

That is a sad thing but you know? I could see this being the case Sora with his determination that he isn't good enough, and believing this at 8 years old that all of this was his own fault. So he tried harder as he grew older... and now that he is older and things are basically not much different but he tries oh so hard to not think like that.

This side to Kairi and what she says is very believable I mean she's his friend and haven't all people been in a place where they wish something terrible to the thing that has taken hold of someone close? even if it's terrible you just... *sigh* I understand. And feel rather sad now, glad to see more Blitz but this just shows how worthy he is of friends and makes more sense of why he was so withdrawn from the other kids except Kairi... cause when did he have time or the ability to really see what he should do?

Wow and once again she rambles :P sorry.

[finem]

yeah, I was working my way through the edits on this chapter in my head and trying to figure out how to make this particular section actually worth anything and not have it be as lame as it had been initially, and then I realized that hey! Riku and Kairi haven't had a moment yet, and she would have some really valuable insight on Sora for Riku. So yeah...this is what happened.

I mean, really, Kairi has been there for everything. She knows things about Sora that he probably doesn't realize about himself yet. This talk totally needed to happen, and I'm really glad that it did!

And you know I love your rambling ^.~

[aura890]

That's a good thing :P It happens a lot!

But yeah your right she would know wouldn't she? and I get the impression she had been observing for a long while over the years and will have seen basically all he went through wouldn't she? and seen how he acted being his well... only true friend. I am curious as to what she knows that even he doesn't though as friends always seem to have things like that... what she knows will they be revealed?

And I also like the moment your right other then the odd word here and there way at the begining (Riku falling over after the plait disaster and such) they haven't said much have they? Though you know what that little snipet has done? made me so curious about what has happened... :P

[finem]

heh heh heh...well I guess you'll just have to wait to find out huh? ;P

As far as Kairi's insights...well, this is one of them, the fact that what Sora is doing is not healthy and that he is deluding himself in a lot of ways. And then, who knows what else will come out over the next few chapters. I'll be as surprised as everyone else ^^;

[israel_project]

Wow... I'm not surprised you got misty at that. Just seeing that small snippet, without the impact of the rest of the chapter around it, was enough to make me incredibly sad. It's been hinted at all along, this need of Sora's to be so perfect and strong for his mom, to be able to replace his dad in her heart and be the one that makes her sane again, just like she lost it when he died. He's taken that burden entirely onto himself, taken on the responsibility of her mental recovery. If he fails, she doesn't get better. It's no wonder that Sora was starting to break at the start of the story, it's such an awful lot of pressure

[finem]

Yeah, this Kairi/Riku chat needed to happen. I'm shocked it took me so long to realize that it hadn't yet.

And then my fam, in hindsight, had a lot of issues, not the least of which being my mom raising me and my brothers pretty much on her own. When my dad left and everything got screwy I kinda took it upon myself to ensure her happiness I guess. my brothers were such a pain and I figured that if I could be the perfect child, at least that would be a little less stress on her. I realize now that...I missed out on a lot because of that decision... Toss on top of that my ever valiant attempts to win my brother over from the darkside--because I swear he hated me or something when we were little--and yeah...I guess I have a few things I can relate to as far as the above expressed sentiments are concerned.

It's funny how you don't even realize these things until years later...

[israel_project]

Wow, Lyn, that's seriously heavy. *hugs* I know what that's like, I've been doing kind of the same since I was sixteen, only without the darkside brother. It's amazing what you'll do for a parent, I guess. How did you ever end up going to Japan for two years?

[finem]

I'll email you ^.~

[beckychan]

Niiice. I look forward to this next chapter. Of all your fics, this is the one I hang on the hardest.

[finem]

As it should be. Of all of my fics, this is the one I work on the hardest ^^;

[beckychan]

Prolly helps that I get to beta it. :innocent whistle:

But this one has the most emotional depth, and the most Disney cameos. So ♥ there.
