Misconception : Demyx is just comedic relief as the dumb underling of the Organization. ( hit me with that good stuff )
send me a misconception you think people have about my character and i’ll explain if it’s true or not.
so as we’ve already discussed demyx is anything but innocent and the fact that he’s been hand picked by master xehanort to join the ranks of the true organization, let’s get into it ( bear in mind this will be canon selective and a bit dodgy at best simply because i don’t know what exactly kh3 will entail though i don’t have a lot of hope and also because this is my blog my show my rules )
so it’s no surprise that demyx in each media outlet, including his official appearance in the kh3 trailers, has consistently been made out to be comedic ( ‘ i’m useless, i’m chicken! ’ lmfao bite me nomura ) most notably in the kh manga, though as the manga isn’t entirely canonical from time to time and provides more absurdist comedy from time to time ( rather welcome imo ) i generally take the manga with a grain of salt.
going back to the actual gaming media, and this is where i’m going to start superimposing my own canon and views as well, but demyx is, admittedly, presented in a very comedic light, and generally i have no issue with that
there are two main instances where we encounter demyx and his display of power, the first being in the underworld, having stolen from the gods, and the second being in the ruins of hollow bastion where already we’re faced with a vast departure from what we’ve already encountered from him. granted, by this point we’ve only encountered his water clones, but it’s also a testament to the fact that we truly have no idea what demyx is really, truly capable of, and especially with water, one of THE MOST versatile and dangerous elements. i’d argue that even between axel’s first and second boss battles during the tutorial, we still get the sense that axel is a powerful individual, and that the second showdown in the basement of the manor doesn’t come across as very surprising.
demyx, meanwhile, who is known to be the best member of the organization at reconnaissance, fucking recon, while simultaneously coming across as lazy and still managing to summon that kind of power in hollow bastion WHILE ALSO revealing a rather intriguing hand, most notably ‘ silence, traitor. ’ and ‘ oh, we do too have hearts. don’t be mad. ’
where the FUCK DOES THAT COME FROM??? WHERE THE FUCK??? ESPECIALLY WITH DDD TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION, EITHER NOMURA IS JUST CHERRY PICKING HIS CANON BASED ON STUPID LITTLE JOKES OR THIS GOTDAMN MEANS SOMETHING, AND GIVEN HIS MEANS OF STORYTELLING, PARALLELS AND FORESHADOWING, THE USE OF LITERARY DEVICES AND THE SHEER SIGNIFICANCE OF SOME OF THE MOST SEEMINGLY INSIGNIFICANT SHIT AND THE FACT THAT DEMYX IS NOW A MEMBER OF THE TRUE FUCKING ORGANIZATION UNDER MASTER FUCKING XEHANORT HIMSELF, DARE I SAY THERE’S MORE TO THIS THAN MEETS THE EYE.
THIS BITCH HAD NOTE CARDS AND THEN FUCKING SLAMMED SORA AROUND WITH HIGH PRESSURE WATER AND JUST THE FUCKING WAY HE ACCUSES SORA LIKE WHERE IN the FUCK in your ENTIRE CHARACTERIZATION IS THAT COMING FROM UNLESS IT’S MEANT TO ILLUSTRATE THAT HE’S A MEMBER OF THE FUCKING ORGANIZATION FOR A REASON THANK YOU GOOD NIGHT BYE BYE
