[rikkutou]

potential au maybe 🤔

[crystalsprinklescake]

We do not talk enough about how crazy happy Riku looks staring at Sora while racing in this KH1 cutscene. Like he’s looking at him the entire time.

I think this is the happiest and most emotive we ever see Riku. Like c’mon

I appreciate all the meta on Riku’s facial expressions in other games, but we’re sleeping on this scene.

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance Reality Shift - Nightmare's End

[daylighteclipsed]

Pretty gay of Riku to mentally slow down Sora’s cool landing in the RoD and pay extra attention to Sora’s pretty face as opposed to the cool landing itself. What, are you in love with him or something

[catdownthestreet]

for reference:

he's practically making cartoon heart eyes at Sora...

[daylighteclipsed]

Yes, but also to add: this gif leaves out the critical choice to focus on Sora’s face when the camera switches to Riku’s POV here. Not only is the landing slowed down to emphasize how awesome this moment is, but Sora lifting his head up is slowed down as well. We as the audience see the full landing. Riku, however, is staring at Sora’s face.

And I just can’t think of any reason to do this other than to communicate some attraction. The slow-mo could’ve stopped where the gif ends and the takeaway would easily be ‘Riku is in awe of Sora.’ That’s it. Instead, the camera lingers on Sora’s face, his side profile, the lashes of his closed eyes, as water droplets hang in the air like sparkles or bubbles. Sora looks not only powerful here but pretty—before he flashes Riku a grin with a cheerful, “I made it!” Time resumes, the water falls, as Riku snaps out of it.

Basically, the use of slow-mo in this scene slides from “stunning entrance/cool superhero landing” as Sora drops into the fight right when Riku needs him into something that bears more resemblance to the “Crush Filter” trope, and it certainly is. A choice. Anyway, happy pride Riku Kingdomhearts

Kingdom Hearts portraits - Part 3

Last but not least, members IX-XII~ I really like how these ones came out. Now I have finished 12 designs for my upcoming pin gacha, but there is still so much to do. In the future I'll still have 9 more characters to draw.

The Organization is still missing Roxas and Xion, and then there is of course the main characters missing too. However, I wanted to start with the Organization, as there just isn't merch of them in Artist Alleys in Finland so I had to make them myself.

He's just really happy every time he gets to kiss Sora
