HELLO! First of all I LOVE YOUR ART, and how you portray Axel&Saix/Lea&Isa relationship iwi And I am curious about what do you thing about them?? Have a nice day!!
this is mostly just jumbled rambling. it doesn’t make any sense and it got kinda long. sorry!
thank you v much! ;u; as for what i think about them... i think about them a lot & have too many thoughts about them to sum it up nicely in a one post answer.
the way i feel about it is that isa falls in love with lea first & lea is completely oblivious to isa’s feelings. saix clings to isa & lea’s friendship for much longer than axel seems to (i mean look at the diary entries from days), while axel just kind of moves on pretty easily. i don’t want to say isa/saix is obsessed with lea/axel but i feel like lea was the only person significant in isa’s life or maybe it was like, he doesn’t need anyone else as long as he has lea. forget everyone else. but lea is obviously not like that, b/c he wants to be immortalized in the memories of everyone he meets. axel is selfish and hypocritical and he’s fine with leaving saix behind.
it’s a one-sided thing, at least where axel and saix are concerned. they never got to truly grow up or become emotionally mature because, assuming they joined the organization right after RG’s fall, they’ve been told they don’t have hearts & emotions since they were like fifteen. saix gets hit with this particularly bad, since it looks like whatever his and axel's plan originally was, saix ends up inducted into xemnas' inner circle and norted. maybe he was supposed to just rise in the ranks so they could gain the upper hand against xemnas, who they knew is just playing the org members. but when axel leaves, i think saix kind of gives in and is resentful. he's bitter. (just rewatch the scene about the organization members talking about axel's death, and/or read the saix vs axel fight in the novel/manga that happens before that.)
... or at least what's left of isa is bitter--saix is one of xehanort's vessels, so it's hard to say how much of isa is left in there. saix is very different from what we see of isa in bbs, from his tone to his speech patterns so i'm kind of inclined to say he's been possessed for a while and there's not much left of the kid from radiant garden by the time Days happens.
also i think i read in one of the memorial books that the person sitting in the seventh chair that attacks lea isn't the isa we see lying on the floor in the 2.5 secret recoded ending--it's a saix brought from the time between days & kh2. the xigbar we see obvs isn't the braig we see in the 2.5 secret ending also so, lea's question still stands by the end of 3d: "where are braig and isa?" hence why the last page of this comic is of braig with a bruised and scarless isa.
my personal wish for kh3 is obvs for lea to come save isa but i don't want it to be easy. and lea probably won't be able to do it alone--axel was a very well-balanced and proficient fighter, but lea is new to the whole keyblade thing. saix has been wielding a blade for much longer. plus lea has a heart now, and i want him to actually be filled with guilt. i want master xehanort to use saix to fuck lea up. i want a silver-haired saix coming after lea in berserk mode absolutely guilt-tripping lea, because so far, lea has gotten off far too easily. he hasn't really faced any consequences so far about how axel incinerated vexen, or how axel led to zexion's death and just watched, or his kidnapping of kairi, etc.... i mean i love lea/axel to death, but that dude needs to get wrecked. i want a cutscene where he tries to save isa/saix and has to fight him but he can't win and sora has to step in and we get a nice boss fight for sora vs saix w/lea either as a party member or helping like he did in betwixt & between in kh2.
