the best part about being roxas is that if you're not sora you're suddenly somehow ventus??? like c'mon people did you not?? see the meaning of his struggle that wouldn't solve anything :/// but thank you for that rant bc I consistently describe the scene in 3D as Roxas being resigned/exhausted bc how much effort does it take to exist inside a person who is trying to absorb you?? and after you accept that he's a good person?? I could say a lot more but word limit, just wanted to thank you !!
I KNOW RIGHT itās like, say he escapes from the obsession others have that heās Sora - next thing he would get is oh hey youāre Ventus, and uh you now need to give yourself up for HIM so he can live. No matter what, Roxas is caught in the position ofĀ āstop whining and do it because you have to or people will dieā when itās not nearly as simple as that. Heās not throwing a fit because heās a stubborn selfish brat, heās legitimately aching and traumatized because he never asked to be brought into existence but now that he is, heās expected to give it up as though his feelings donāt matter? Like I love Sora and Ventus very, very dearly as well and I want them to be able to live their lives too, but⦠wow itās awful that Roxas basically has to die for that. I think too many people see it likeĀ ābut without Roxas, Sora and Ventus wonāt be whole/alive (?) and thatās tragic especially because Sora is the hero!!!!ā and fail to realize that ābut⦠then Roxas will die, and it doesnāt matter how many people (or whose life is considered āmore important,ā holy shit) that saves -Ā no one is under any obligation to give up their life to save others.ā Martyrdom is way too commonly expected, which is awful! Youāre not a bad person for literally wanting to keep your life.
So this is way too much of a decision to be on his shoulders, and itās no wonder he eventually stops fighting it since literally almost no one will accept him for who he is. Itās hard to stand completely alone against wave after wave of being told you donāt matter. and oh god now my heart hurts really bad Iām sorry to make this even heavier
ajfgdjfdjhk so youāre welcome!! Iām really happy to hear the agreement because I feel like this is a super important thing for the game, for many teenagers in general, and for me personally to have others understand. so thank you for talking about it with me (sorry I ended up expanding the rant fghjksdg itās just. amazing to talk to someone who gets it). ;O;
