Okay, So. If Becoming Norted DOESN’T Mean Losing Your Free Will, Then What Good Would It Do Xehanort

Okay, so. If becoming norted DOESN’T mean losing your free will, then what good would it do Xehanort to make Sora a vessel.

I am honestly so done with the Saix discourse around here.

Saix has Xehanort’s EYECOLOUR AND EARS for heaven’s sake. He is clearly at least influenced by Xehanort during his time in Org XIII. Not to mention he has a X carved into his forehead, X like keeping watch on people (see KH3D).

I always thought that Saix is losing more and more of himself to Xehanort, but that’s only my interpretation of course. He’s still at least partially himself, before his death in KH2, yes. He did terrible things, yes. I’m not saying those should be forgotten.

But please don’t forget, that he was also in a terrible situation and he was slowly losing his only support (= Lea). Situations have a huge impact on our decisions and behaviour, which has close to NOTHING to do with our personality. Feel free to google the fundamental attribution error on that one. Does this justify what he did? Not at all. Does this mean he shouldn’t be forgiven? Not. At. All. If he is willing to repent, then let him do it. EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE.

Then again, I’d like to take a look at the “terrible things” Isa/Saix did. The main problem I see is his behaviour towards Roxas and Xion, who would have needed support and whose situations were clearly made worse by him. Keep in mind that he deeply believes he doesn’t feel any emotions and nobody else around him does either. The definition of empathy (according to Dorsch, Lexikon der Psychologie [translated]) is the cognitive understanding and affective reciprocation of the assumed emotions of another being. Of course Saix doesn’t have any.

The “terrible things” I don’t understand, are those other people see in his interactions with Axel? Roxas and Xion hurt Axel’s mental state way more than Saix, not on purpose of course, but I strongly doubt Saix’ goal was to hurt Axel either. Saix and Axel are ARGUING. Axel doesn’t trust Saix and vice versa. Saix is angry, he’s sad, while he doesn’t acknowledge any of it. He tries to keep Axel close with their shared goal. With pressure, yes, which he didn’t have to, but they are still arguing, remember. There’s still a strong, unresolved conflict in between them. Don’t try to tell me, you’re always kind and caring in an argument, dear haters. Because BY SHARING HATE YOU ALREADY ARE CAUSING DAMAGE TO OTHER PEOPLE. I felt uneasy and irritated, I had sleepless hours thanks to those Saix hate posts. YOU caused me harm with your unnecessary discourse.

So what does this say about you? Shouldn’t you be forgiven?

drawing kingdom hearts so yeah axel akusai saix akusaimonth day 23: flower who expected something happy for 'flower'? *lifts hand* i actually wanted to draw them as flowers axel would have been a tiger lily (‚Feuerlilie‘ (fire lily’) in german) they are among my favourite flowers =//= so pretty for saix i thought about using a flower called 'Silberblatt' which has the beautiful french name ‚Lunaire‘ but then I looked up the english name and … well it’s ‚honesty‘ i guess it probably would have been a bit bold to make him that xDD one more thing guys … when i said ‚i will have to back down from the internet‘ … i didn’t mean it it’s just a coincidence that i actually didn’t have much time for tumblr this last week woah it’s already been a week? ö_ö’ man time flies … good to see you! :D i'm fine and how have you been?

Dear Aoba,

I love you for your strength. For being strong enough to be there for others, even when your own world has fallen to pieces. Strong enough to touch people’s hearts, to see them for who they are – and to save them. To accept all of yourself, even the parts that frighten you. And to stay kind at heart, no matter the circumstances.

I hope that one day, I can be as strong as you.

I drew that while I was waiting for the admission test for university to start. It's on the back of a bus ticket, I didn't have anything else with me at the moment. (because ... you're not allowed to have anything with you, except food, something to drink, pens in black and blue and your wallet. Oh and single tissues of course. Very important.) I wanted to draw Saïx with a ponytail for quiet some time and that was somehow the perfect opportunity x'DD (it somehow felt right? xDD)

Well, the reason why I am uploading that now is ... I GOT A PLACE AT UNIVERSITY! Which means, once I inscribed on Monday, I will officially be a student of psychology! Yay! :DDD (I actually wanted to do that ever since I was ... twelve? thirteen? fourteen? x'DDD)

I will actually go to university ... haha, I am really happy :'D

(I wanted to do something cute, but it somehow turned out as a postKH3 pic, with Isa still feeling guilty for all that happened. Uh, whatever.)

HELLO. I’m back from the dead.

Last year, I said it was going to be my last year running the akusai month event. But…. I’ve changed my mind. I will continue running it! \0/

Why? Because KINGDOM HEARTS III. (Real talk. Who in their right akusai mind back then would have thought KH3 would bless us with so much glorious content!??! DEFINITELY NOT ME HAHAHAHAHA bec I thought Saix would die permanently by protecting Roxas and Xion)

Anyways, I know shippers have been partying on. I’ve been watching from the sidelines (Twitter). I’m not sure if my prompts will be up to times with the newer groups of the fanbase, but I’ll do my best to have a lovely akusai month for both new and old to enjoy!

I will be posting more details, such as prompts soon. As always, the beautiful @heartlessfujoshi will help me moderate things. Spoiler alert: BERSERK and SLOW BURN are coming back. ;)

I’d appreciate it if you reblog and spread word. Have a lovely rest of your week, everyone!
