anonymous said; to the mun, do you ship Namine and Kairi? or Namixi with Kairi being the supportive big sister to Namine? (both are valid)

Pretty sure this is the first ask I've received asking me to elaborate on what I think about a ship so allow me to proceed to talk a bunch.

First and foremost allow me to use my megaphone and announce once again that Kairi is demiromantic.

Now then, Kairi ( on my blog at least ) has a lot of complicated feelings about Namine in general. They're more so centered on the circumstances surrounding the two of them, and that, coupled with how Namine canonically views herself in comparison to Kairi, results in a dynamic very different and unique from the one Sora and Roxas share.

With Namikai itself, I like it but I don't exactly ship Namine and Kairi in a romantic sense, if that makes sense ? Since I have always viewed their relationship as being parts of a whole. There’s so much that can be said from that kind of a connection.

[ I kept writing way too much about it so I'm gonna add it as a separate post ]. TL;DR. It's hard for Kairi to put this irrevocably close connection - both girls once being the same person but not anymore and how it subsequently affected the both of them - into words so her referring to Namine as a little sister is simply what she thinks is the best stand-in to express what she feels, though it's not an accurate reflection. You could spin this connection in a romantic ship from that angle pretty easily, but it's typically not the first road my mind speeds down when I think of these two. I actually have a verse where it was Kairi called to Castle Oblivion instead by Namine. Unlike with Sora, Namine doesn't let her other half go, and so they live in CO. Interesting character exploration but I don't know if you could immediately label that ship material though. All in all, yes but I heavily lean towards the platonic end of the spectrum instead of the romantic end. Namixi is the one I'd definitely be more inclined to ship romantically way more often, as these two are a very good pair. Kairi would definitely like to slot herself as the big sister type to both of them, a pillar of encouragement there to support them all the way, happy about how cute these two look together and how much joy they seem to find in one another.

Namikai would be the ‘intense emotionally charged’ platonic ship for me while Namixi is that ‘soft serve treat yourself’ romantic relationship. One isn’t lesser than the other and I think both are great in equal measure.

So after reading this you can say my ship preference between is... surprise ?? Option 3, Kairi and Xion !

         He let out a tired sounding sigh, resisting his initial urge to snap back with a sarcastic ‘yeah, no shit.’ It wasn’t her fault the Reaper’s Game was named the way it was, though, so any frustration towards her would be pretty misguided.

“Yeah, well, it didn’t feel too much like a game, either. None of us were playing for the fun of it. Well… most of us weren’t, anyway.” Joshua, on the other hand… “But we didn’t have a choice.”

         The implication of some deriving enjoyment rested between those words, catching her ears, knitting brows. Fingers flexed, index and thumb rising to grip her chin. They existed she supposed, thrill seekers who thrived on challenges, though betting your existence being erased ? Seemed a bit much. At least, some small comfort could be found knowing Neku fell outside of this category.

         ❝ I hope there's no chance of you getting pulled into another one. ❞ Unsure she may be of the exact requirements to be granted an exclusive ticket into the game, knowing such things wasn’t needed to pray it never happened again. ❝ The last thing you’d want is to be pulled back into something when you thought it was over and done with. ❞

         Experience spoke for her, adding on the second statement almost like an unconscious afterthought, the list of moments when she too believed the troubles / unknown danger were finally over pulled up in the back of her mind like a unpleasant memoir to be perused.
