Roxas and Squall: totally related

Baaaaaaaah I was archiving for ff_press today and came across someone who'd made a bunch of Squall/Rinoa vids. And I got distracted and watched a bunch and GUYS.

Guys.

SO. Much. Wibbling.

Wibbling.

I have never made a secret of the following fact: I AM A BIG SQUALL/RINOA WOOBIE.

(Note to self: draw Squall/Rinoa arts. Put it in the docket. After the other uh. Several things I am supposed to draw. Yeah. "Several".)

I think I'm somewhat at an advantage here because I like Squall and Rinoa as characters individually. In fact, I LOVE Squall. And not just for his amazingly sweet ass (although that too is awesome and I should dedicate a picture to it. Several pictures.)

Squall is way up there in my list of favourite lead characters of anything ever, where Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney) and Luffy (One Piece) and, incidentally, Zidane of FFIX un-fame also live. Also there? Roxas. I think the Roxas thing is significant, though, because I'm suspecting that I was drawn to Roxas and Squall for many of the same reasons.

So, KHII had a lot of problems. I had a big big discussion of it in the works at some point but I think school/work/the interwebs ate it. But among its many, many flaws, I think one thing KHII got right was building pathos from the start. The interesting thing about that first uh... HOUR OR SO of KHII (really it is a dvd that you sometimes have to pause and press some other buttons) is that it is really pretty much Life In Roxas' Head. Like, oh, all of FFVIII is Squall's Thoughts On Boring Grownups.

FYI. I will NEVER. EVER. Tire. Of Squall's initial assessment of Laguna: moron.

"I had a dream I was an idiot."

Squall, I will love you forever just for that.

Ex. Dee.

That's! That's all. I just wanted to reiterate my love. >.>
