you know i used to think it was weird how sora and roxas have such different personalities for supposedly being 'the same person' but after playing a few games i sort of realized that they do have similar personalities, because roxas acts how sora does when he's under extreme stress.
compare roxas to sora in, say, kh1. that's where a lot of peoples idea of sora's personality comes from. sora is generally very upbeat and optimistic in that game. not very similar to roxas, right?
but let's switch the game and talk about a game where sora is ABSOLUTELY GOING THROUGH IT. chain of memories.
sora's resting state is melancholy in com. he only ever cheers up in short bursts, usually when he's joking around with friends. just like roxas.
he's quick to anger, and tends to lash out at the organization members. best example of this is when larxene makes him 'remember' namine, and he swings at her repeatedly, even after she's gone. he only stops when jiminy is able to snap him out of it.
you know what scene that resembles?
sora, while a bit more on the angry side and less sad, continues to act like this in kh2 when he's in stressful situations. (he also has a tendancy to insult people which, while it's not very related to the point, is very funny and sora saying 'gonna cry?' to xigbar is great.) i cant comment any further than that about kh2 off the top of my head.
so, roxas acts like sora does when he's stressed, right? but why is roxas always acting like that? to which i say, he isnt!
he only ever acts like that when he's also in fucked up and stressful situations, which happens to be a CONSTANT in his life. but when he's hanging out with axel and xion, a decidedly NOT stressful situation, he's a lot more like sora. he's teasing his friends and insulting his coworkers and joking around and acting like a normal kid. not really important, but unless i misremembered some sora lines which is VERY possible, both roxas and sora respond to friendly insults with "oh thanks!" a lot. just a funny little detail that felt relevant.
the biggest differences between roxas and sora boil down to environment and... i dont know how to put it besides volume? roxas is very quiet and tends to keep most of his thoughts to himself, while sora is very loud and expressive in comparison.
there is one other huge difference i noticed, which is less character based and more story. sora wanted to get off destiny islands and explore with his friends, but roxas just wanted routine. sora wants adventure, and roxas wants things to stay the same, for days where he gets off work and eats ice cream with his friends to last forever, to keep having conversations about nothing and watching the sunset. roxas wants normalcy, sora wants excitement. it's just interesting seeing their contrast.
not sure if this is very well said or anything i just wanted to talk about my boys

Okay love or hate Mean Girls (love) but don't tell me I'm wrong here.
I started thinking about this while half-asleep last night and I couldn't stop giggling. Spot the difference? Sorry, I can't.

Twilight princess Link and his not so redesign but rather the suggestion: what if he was robbed of his ability to always already be in a fresh hero fit after transforming out of the wolf form and either has to scavenge for something to wear prior to transforming or midna has to throw pants at him. I’m suggesting this cuz 1) it’s funny 2) it’s very funny 3) the combinations of dumb outfits that he could have 4) the mental image of midna yelling after the wolf who is still wearing pants

Star Trek has permanently altered how I view people touching hands in media because of yk. The Vulcan ‘hand touch = kiss’ thing. Which can be incredibly annoying especially when I see fanart where two characters are touching hands in any way and I immediately think “ohohohoho so scandalous” when no. it really isn’t.
But it also makes me seem like an incredibly,,, horny? person from like the 1600s when touching hands before marriage was an ‘immediately going to hell’ kind of sin. Anyway all that’s to say is I am SLUT SHAMING every single person who has EVER held hands in a romantic sense before MARRIAGE do you even KNOW what that MEANS /j

when people on tumblr are trying to dictate what silly things (not abuse) people can do as replies/reblogs/tags on their original posts is so fucking funny to me. this is *tumblr* you have absolutely no say over what happens to your post here
like "don't derail from this onceler post I'm ONLY in the lorax fandom and this isn't about your blorbo"
lmao this is the communal sandbox webbed site. what're you gonna do, block 13,000 people who tag their blorbo twilight sparkle?? fuck off.
