Potatoes aka I should just start typing "commentary for this chapter" in these subjects (ch194)

Review Replies

Peach and Flightfoot I ended up replying to your reviews over on the fic's blog because I enjoy answering reviews in character? *shrug*

Flightfoot's -- which was a comment about Roxas teaching Sora to fight for anyone else interested -- was answered here

Peach's -- which commented on Namine learning magik I MEAN MAGIC GOSH DARN and Riku being rich -- was answered here (we mainly talked about Riku being rich)

Both can be found under the review replies tag yay

Things goin on in my life

THIS MIX IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE TUMBLR USER WOLS AKA AMBRETTES HAS BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR LIKE THREE MONTHS NOW AND IT'S EXCITING THAT IT'S FINISHED
Also it's really really fitting for canon!Riku I think. *nod*


Chapter time!!

reaaaaading liiinky

tumblr notes link which only has a couple posts whoops


I IMAGINE THAT. CID YELLED AT AERITH/NAMINE
“YER GONNA BURN THE HOUSE DOWN!!”
And Yuffie just kind of looks at him

“like you havent’ nearly done that before!”

Everyone sort of cleared the room after namine nearly set the couch on fire because. Hazardous to our health.

There was supposed to be this thing about Aero and it's KH1 mechanics and Namine learned it but Aerith told her y'know "it doesn't prevent damage it just reduces it" (making it ineffective against lightning)
but Namine was like "well you can cast it on other people right?"
"yeah"
"okay then i wanna learn it"
because at the very least extra defense for Riku is nice

of course the mechanics of Aero changed and then I remembered Aqua used Reflect to protect Terra in the KH2FM secret ending but
Y'know
Aqua is a skilled mage


GHHH OKAY SO LIKE MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS CHAPTER IS THAT BIT where Riku's like "no I don't need cure" and it's not even just Namine telling him that's stupid it's Aerith being very persistent "you should learn Cure"
Because hmm what happens when you're alone and you can't heal yourself? Oh that's right. You die.

And I mean Zack wasn't alone but Cloud was in no condition to help him and Zack himself was too worn down for Cure to do him any good because he couldn't himself cast it
But still

"It only needs to happen once."

And like... ch110 (ish?) comes to mind. Where Sora and Riku fought and Sora stabbed Riku in the chest and then they kept fighting but Riku was bleeding profusely and eventually he just collapsed in a pool of his own blood on the ground
Because oh guess what
He had no means of Curing himself

And I think thinking about that really shakes Aerith up sometimes because he nearly died.

Riku nearly died.

If Tifa hadn't been smart enough to go look for him he would've died because everyone just assumed he was okay and Aerith is kicking herself for not thinking of checking on him for a million reasons.
She tries not to think about it but when she does it really scares her because she's already lost someone really important in her life and she still loves Riku--even if it's not fucking romantically and it disgusts me to have to clarify--because he is family and now that she thinks about it
Now that they're talking about it
She couldn't bear losing him.

She couldn't.

*deep breath*


LOOK AT RIKU. RUNNING AWAY FROM HIS PROBLEMS. HMMM I WONDER WHO HE GOT THAT FROM
(he got it  from Vexen oh)

Technically he should’ve heard a bit of their conversation because super sensitive hearing but. I didn’t know which part of the conversation he should hear so

Idk he was probably trying his best not to eavesdrop? (besides it’s not like it’d make any difference if he was at the top of the stairs or in his room I mean. He can usually hear them just fine even when he’s in his room but then again what he heard then was probably spoken more casually and I bet this conversation between Namine and Aerith is a little hushed)

The thing is with family. You don’t close your bedroom door unless you really need the privacy
For the most part you just leave your door open.
(at least that’s how it worked in my house and I’d imagine it’s the same for a lot of other houses y’know???)
But in CO no one is family everyone wants privacy everyone shuts their door
It’s just 50 thousand munny is about 500 US dollars
What would you do if someone was like very casually “here have 500 bucks”
You’d be grateful but you’d be like ??? ?? because people don’t normally just hand out 500 bucks. Family or no.


The sketchbook is like a security blanket tbh

HMM I WONDER. IF SOMETIME DURING THAT WEEK probably while she was full-throttle in a meltdown
I wonder if. She suddenly got a sharp pain. In her left shoulder.
There were too many other things going on for her to notice
But


IN THE ORIGINAL DRAFT FOR THIS SCENE NAMINE ENDED UP HITTING HERSELF (doing the “stupid stupid stupid” while kind of hitting your head thing) AND AERITH WAS JUST LIKE
WHOA THERE
WHOA
NO
NO DON’T
And then she spent the next few minutes stuttering in confusion because how the frik do you two have the exact same tick??
(it’s because Namine was made from Riku’s data and unfortunately that was one of the thigns that. slipped through and carried over to her)
Anyway yeah
It wasn’t flowing right with the conversation
Well it felt unnecessary
So I just
Didn’t

VAGUE GESTURING IN THE DIRECTION OF “A WIZARD’S DILEMA”
(there was that one thing Nita said about “you spend so much time with someone that you just… stop seeing them” OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES it was about how she hadn’t noticed her mother was getting sick I KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT I JUST DON’T REMEMBER THE EXACT LINE AND EVEN IF I DID I’M NOT SURE HOW MUCH SENSE IT’D MAKE WITHOUT CONTEXT)


Riku does count but unfortunately it’s not very distracting so it only works so well
