Two years and I'm still malding a bit over "you're coming home too."

#katie rambles #kh3 spoilers #kh re:mind spoilers #spoilers #kh remind spoilers #(dusts off hands) okay that out of the way. #it's not that i dont think vanitas deserves redemption or think it cant be done #or feel like he cant find a place with ven and his friends #its that the narrative isnt doing jack shit to make it. idk. healthy? warranted? #like from ven pov vanitas has tried to (and almost did) murder aqua twice. terra maybe once. #and when told 'you can choose to like. not be an asshole' he was met with 'well guess what I AM choosing to be an asshole' #and like idk i get that the line can be read as ven saying it like #get back in here you mangy little stray cat that I'm making my responsibility #like accepting that it's better to just get him under tabs and control so he can't do more evil gremlin shit #but unfortunately 'coming home too' also sounds. way too soft to really reliably be read that way #and more like 'i can fix you' #and i ABHOR ventus 'i can fix him' @ vanitas #when vanitas has literally been nothing but rude to ven that is their dynamic #i know kh is nice but they dont have to do this to my boy they dont have to make another layer of worse martyrdom for him #the nap was enough as is and at least constructive to some degree #this isnt even getting into vanitas being Darkness #(which is a whole nother level of stupid that i hate!) #and how that just makes ven trying to be nice. worse! #idk! vanitas can be redeemed sure probably but can it not be a person who (should) have rightful beef with the guy #when vanitas has displayed pretty much no interest in actually fixing himself and if anything is commiting to the evil bit #unpopular opinion im sure but im sticking to my guns on this one you cannot change my mind
