Thinking about the parallels between Riku losing himself to darkness because he (believed) his life-long friendship had been broken and replaced and Terra losing himself to darkness because he wanted to protect his friends/friendship more than anything else

#they were both driven by love and bonds but riku was driven by the hurt of it being broken #whereas terra was driven by the anger at his loved ones being threatened #love is healing but its also corrupting if its too strong/if its threatened......#oh and they also both lost their bodies and hearts!! to the same guy even!!!!!#and they could only fully return to themselves once they had been safely reunited with their loved ones and their bond restored!!!!!#aqua was right when she said darkness was anger and hatred #but what then is anger and hatred but the pain of having loved?#of having something you cared about be broken and torn apart #darkness is obsession and hatred and anger but also love #because love feeds all of these things #anyway im getting carried away i could write an essay on the delicacies of emotions #as portrayed in a lot of medias tbh but especially kh #bc everything always is driven by emotions all the time!!!!!!!!#riku #terra #kingdom hearts #kh #xander rambles #i finished replaying terras route in bbs today btw.
