What a wonderful video, Cat! I am honored to have my art featured 💕. Kingdom Hearts is such an amazing series and it's lovely to hear so many different people's experience with it. This series and these characters are truly the gift that keeps on giving. Happy pride month!
Happy Pride month to you too Niles!!!! ❤️
I love that you make so many videos for Soriku. You deserve so much love for what you do for the Soriku fandom ❤
Thank you so much!!!! That means a lot!!! 😭
abshjk I got jumpscared by my comment, I forgot all about this lol what a nice surprise!
But it's no surprise so many queer fans fall in love with KH fr!! So many characters fighting for identity, the found family....Sora & Riku's relationship, whatever that ends up to be....everything is so genuine & special, & the emotional scenes. it's so good. It's so strong
Totally agree!!!! Watching this video while on break lol. Glad you recommended it❤
I'm not queer but I feel the same way everyone does, I always felt like I was different from everyone else but that was because I have ADHD so when The topic of Riku and self acceptance, I could relate to that. I also relate to Roxas a lot "I hardly know who I am what's wrong with getting some answers?" I was undiagnosed until last month so I always thought something was wrong with me, I didn't really know who I was so I was trying to figure out why I was this way. And Sora will always be my comfort character, my favorite character in media because he reaches out to so many people in need and it felt like he was reaching out to me when I was in my darkest state. He was there to get me through it. So it's only fair for me to do the same to everyone else. If Sora doesn't exist then I'll make him exist. The world needs more people like him.
Thankyou so much for sharing your thoughts!!! I agree! The world needs more people like Sora. 😊
Thank you so much for making this video. The last time I saw a video with this topic I felt like the person who made it kinda ended up invalidating the queer community in the end, which was uncalled for 🥲. So seeing someone from the actual community tackle this topic is so reassuring and comforting. Wish I caught the poll when it came out but its so nice seeing all the featured comments.
Sad that i only caught the tail end but i got to see my comment in real time!! Great vid as always and happy pride!
The vid is up on my channel if you ever feel like sitting through the entire thing. 😊 Happy pride month to you too and I’m glad you got to see your comment in real time!
i swear kingdom hearts has been a HUGE like HUGE part of my life and i thank the youtuber that i happened to stumble unto that made a kingdom hearts video like ten years ago, it has been a huge turn in my life. Just like you i was drawn by familiar faces like the Disney character a completely felled head over heels in Love with the characters and the story, I've made a great and awesome best friend by the discussion of this series and I've emotion so strong that no film nor popular video games made me felt before. Soriku, wherever it will come out (ahah get it ?) as Romantic or platonic (even if since KH1 i want them to be officially canon romantically, and beg for a scene that proves so, IM STARVING ) have my dream like link between two people that i set myself to copy with the relation i entertain with friends, i know they'll be there for me and I'll be there for them. Plus i can relate very much to Sora and the fact he breaks society "golden" rule that man can do this or not that and i found it very progressing and awesome !
Sorry i pulled my heart out in this commentary but i felt good typing it under a such awesome and relatable video !
I wish you a happy day, and may your heart be your guiding key
I Just Hope That Sora Will Know The Truth Of Riku’s Sacrifice (Every Time When I Try To Mention This Topic, They Changed Subject Or Just Dismiss It That It Never Happened) Look To See Sora’s Reaction To This And The Other Memories He Had (The Meteor Shower When Riku Gave Him The Crown Necklace) Or Just Having Time To Himself To Reflect On Everything :)
I hope so too!!
What a lovely video topic. As a gay trans man, I had so much gender envy for Sora (as well as a crush on him and Riku too as a kid). Sora was kind of like my dream Boy self that I projected on and also kind of like a friend to me. I used to scribble KH doodles in the margins of my notebooks at school. I shipped SoKai at the time because that was what I saw being presented to me and I like both characters (plus I barely knew gay people existed). I didn't discover lgbt fandom until I was much older and had figured more things out. Before that, "KH fandom" was mostly just (frequently homophobic) joke vids on yt to me.
Sora was even one of the examples I used to make myself feel better over being shorter than I wished. I had too much internalized homophobia to ship SoRiku at first, but replaying the series as a fully out adult I immediately picked up on their relationship. And then I got to DDD and couldn't believe what I was seeing lol.
It was my childhood dream to cosplay Sora as a kid and I finally got to do it recently as an adult. :')
Aww!!! I’m so glad you finally got to cosplay Sora!!!
Yay, you're a fellow ace! 🖤🤍💜
And yay, my comment got featured! 😊
And yay again, a new video highlighting exactly why we love Kingdom Hearts! Thank you and Happy Pride! 💖🏳🌈
Thank you for making this video. It's so nice to see how much KH means to other people. I relate a lot to Sora, I'm aroace and always had trouble to differenciate between different kinds of love. Also, didn't expect my comment to appear at the end, lol.
Beautiful Video :) Love Soriku :) Love That It Touches So Many People In Different Ways :) Can’t Wait To See What The Future Holds For Soriku :) Soriku Forever :)
Soriku endgame!!! 😊❤️
My bisexual ass has been obsessed for months with these games
They’re great games!
@@CocoaCatniptv They are. And now I shall turn every Kingdom Hearts Character into a bisexual like me. That is my evil plan.
@@drowsy7921as you should! 😊
Such a great video! Thank you all so much for being such great people and friends. And thank you, Kingdom Hearts, for being the light that connects us all. May your heart be your guiding key.❤💙
Wahhhh!!!!!! Melle!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yay, hello fellow Ace 😁🖐 and big KH fan
Yay fellow ace!!!!
I'm pretty sure Luxord is why i have a type 😂 I'm just realizing all the long term relationships were with dudes who look like luxord bleached hair and all
I could write a novel about my feelings on KH, but I'll try to do a sparknotes summary.
I was obsessed with Kingdom Hearts from day one. I was about 7 or 8 when it first released and I remember vividly whenever the commercial would play on TV I would drop EVERYTHING I was doing to go and watch it. I was a Disney kid, yes, but I was also a Final Fantasy kid, so this was the merging of two of my absolute favorite things in the world. Yes, I did cry when Sora was announced for Smash Bros.
It wasn't until after KH2's release that I became obsessed with SoRiku. I think they were my first introduction to what gay was. I read and wrote fanfiction, collected fan art, and made AMVs (my original channel name was "Rikusgirl1" lol). For years I wore an Oathkeeper necklace every single day. It was truly my first HUGE special interest. And as it turned out... I'm asexual panromantic.
I see so much of myself in both Sora and Riku, and I think that's why as a couple they resonated so heavily with me.
Tell me something I don't know. Good video.
Thankyou so much!!! ❤
Great video. I liked it, but I have two Genuine questions. What is a Queer? I believe you aren't using it as a slur, so there must be a meaning to it and I do not seem to understand about it. Second, I saw your description that you say "Happy Pride Month", but isn't June the month of Men's Health Awareness Month no?
Hi! Glad you enjoyed. The term "queer" is an umbrella term used in the LGBTQIA+ community to describe sexual orientation or gender identity that doesn't conform to societal norms. It can also refer to people who are questioning their gender identity or sexual orientation. Pride month is a month long celebration for queer people. It’s in June to coincide with the anniversary of the stonewall riots, which were a series of gay liberation protests.
@@CocoaCatniptv So in my way of understanding, it is what you call yourself before you find out what you are?
I have never heard about the Stonewall Riots, but I will try and find some books about the topic. One question to this though, did this take place in the USA?
Does that mean that June is celebrating two things during the whole month?
@@PsDnKYes, if you are questioning you can refer to yourself as queer. The stonewall riots happened in the U.S, but obv Pride is celebrated outside the U.S. Also yes, two celebrations for the month of June.
@@CocoaCatniptv Oh that makes sense! I have heard people use it but found it weird why they used a slur on themselves. Thanks for clerifying that one. Nothing on the internet seemed to make sense of it.
Yeah so that makes that part of history primarily US only. I have heard some people celebrate it yeah, but I didn't know it was for a whole month. Now I know.
real KH fans know that Riku have feelings for Sora and it shows throughout the series
Facts!
I wonder why as a trans girl Xion is my fav... And how I have to feel the saddness of knowing she'll probably never be playable in a game.
