My Favorite Pairings! HUGE WIP

Shipping brings joy

 WARNING, this page will discuss content in the games I've played so far, !! MAJOR spoilers ahead !! Also this is just my opinion with ships. If you don't like any pairings that I like, that's okay! Please just be respectful. I AM ON DDD / 3D AS OF WRITING! Also I'm a fujoshi and while I like all kinds of pairings (m/m, f/m, f/f), this is a series that lends itself a lot more to m/m lol.

Sora x Riku, SoRiku

 This is my main pairing for Sora because I'm basic. I see Riku as pining for Sora and getting torn up with jealousy from competiting for attention with Kairi. I like to think that before and during the events of KH1, Riku struggled with his attention to Sora. With some internalized homophobia as well, he saw himself as better than Sora but also obviously jealous of Sora. But then you can add the struggle and disgust with being gay and attracted to "stupid" Sora, like someone he consciously saw as lesser than him. This idea is really appealing to me and lines up with the character arc we saw in Chain of Memories.

 I really do think Sora and Riku love each other, even if Sora x Kairi is the main romantic pairing in canon. Riku sacrifices everything Sora and Sora constantly has his "best friend" on his mind. I'm huffing copium that SoKai never becomes canon.

Sora x Roxas, SoRoku WIP

 This is good too since I'm a sucker for selfcest. But there are better selfcest pairings in the series...

Roxas x Axel, AkuRoku (as well as Sora x Axel / SoAku + Axel x Saix / AkuSai)

 This is the ultimate Roxas ship and the setup is so on-the-nose in KH2 and 358/Days. Especially with the whole wanting to see Roxas thing and him explaining romance to him... Axel is obviously older and more experienced than Roxas, but I see them as best friends who become more and more equal through the orangization. I also think AkuSai CAN be good, but AkuRoku seems like the obvious choice to me.

 The appeal of SoAku goes hand and hand in compliment to AkuRoku. The angst component to Axel trying to seperate Sora from Roxas and not having Sora remember anything (as well as Roxas too). Or even the pain and confusion Axel gets when seeing Sora at the Castle of Oblivion in CoM. And then the fucking death of Axel reaching Roxas inside of Sora... Yeah, this is good.

Ventus x Vanitas, VanVen

 This is my favorite pairing in the series so far (besides SoRiku). I played BBS on Ventus's route first, and I IMMEDIATELY ran to make fanart of them, lol. God, this pairing is so good. There's so many ways you can explore their relationship too. Literal dark and light.

 Many people will write fanfiction where either A) Vanitas knows about romance / sex and uses it to hurt Ventus OR B) Ventus will know about romance / sex / human feelings because Vanitas was created from darkness. In my mind, they should both either know about it or not. Imo, they should be "inexperienced" and a form of somewhat twisted codependent love together for the first time. Actually, know that I think about it, I think it makes more way more sense for Vanitas to not know what love is while Ventus knows... or maybe Vanitas represents Ventus's repressed desires?! Yeah actually there's so many different ways you can take this; it's all so interesting! I love them soooooo much!!!

Ventus x Terra, TerraVen or ANY pairing between the main BBS trio (TerrAqua, VenAqua)

 I see the vision... but I perfer there not to be any pairings between the main trio because it makes the trio "unequal" in my mind. But all of these can cook. The one scenario I do like sometimes is when Ventus has a ONE-SIDED crush on Terra... and then Vanitas uses that knowledge to psychologically torment him lmfao. But that's just my mind on VanVen crack.

Thoughts on Characters HUGE WIP

What do I think?

Sora

 Love love love him. I'm a sucker for idiot genkis.

Riku

 Also good rival character.

Kairi

 She's just barely there. I was really disappointed by her canon depicition.

Aqua

 Genuinely love her and her story.

Terra

 Terra is hot. I love how he is very very guillible. That's a very endearing trait I would love to see more in characters. I was wondering how intentional his gullibility was until Peter Pan commented on it. You're very easily fooled, lmfao. I love Terra. He is kind of big and slow to play as though. Just the Terra Experience (tm) through Birth by Sleep I guess.
