Ahhhhh, and here we get into the personal attacks.
Excuse me to my 101 watchers who actually enjoy the material I produce. I’m going to break character now to address this. I am a 25-year-old grown woman, an Ivy League graduate, and a professional costume worker. These sorts of things from strangers on the internet really can’t hurt my pride. But I’ve seen these kind of comments seriously harm others on this site who write these kinds of blogs, and so I’m going to take the time to address this. Because this is unacceptable.
Firstly, I’m going to direct you to Wikipedia for a moment. If you didn’t want to click the link, I’ll summarize for you. What we have here is a beautiful, textbook example of the logical fallacy known as “Ad Hominem.” From Wikipedia; “An ad hominem (Latin for “to the man” or “to the person”), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to negate the truth of a claim by pointing out a negative characteristic or belief of the person supporting it.” It is the last refuge of one who has no real argument, and who seeks to win through shaming or humiliating the opponent because they have no ability to win through any reasonable method.
I hope everyone here can see the irony of someone asking me if I’m a coward while hiding behind the mask of anonymity. For your information, I actually do post every single ask I get, eventually. Maybe not in the order I receive them, and maybe not right away if I can’t come up with a clever or entertaining response. But I’ve got two asks in my ask box that are more than a few days old, and I’ve gotten at least five totally reasonable, well-meant, and entertaining asks since you started these completely childish shenanigans.
And they are childish. I tag my posts according to what the post is about. It’s for my own organizational purposes. You don’t have to read my posts. The Xemsai tag is not some sacred ground on which alternate interpretations must never tread. The Akusai tag currently has Xemsai on it. But I’m not going crying to the author to remove it, because they have a right to organize their thoughts however they please. I also don’t think you quite understand how the block function works, but it’s your responsibility to educate yourself, not mine.
And finally, for the record, I’ve not only seen the end of KH3D, I’ve personally played and completed the game. In fact, I’ve played and completed the game trading off with someone in meatspace in real time who understood the Japanese and explained the full context of every single thing that happened in that game. And you know what? Not a thing changes my opinion. I’ll tell you why.

Saix behaves the way he does because he’s been possessed by Xehanort. Does everyone remember that time in KH1 where Riku was possessed by Xehanort and tried to kill Sora? He made much more of an effort than Saix did, but no one says he doesn’t care about Sora. No one uses it to support Riku/Xehanort’s Heartless. Master Xehanort did the same thing to Terra. Nobody says Terra hates Aqua because Terranort tried to kill her. Riku and Terra behave the way they do because he’s being used and manipulated. Saix is the same way, but Xemnas has had ten years to sink his filthy claws into Saix.
I understand the translations have said they always had hearts, but in fact, that’s not what Xemnas said. He said they always had the potential to have hearts, but like a seedling, those hearts needed to be nourished to grow. He uses the word “seedling” verbatim. Without attention and care, their hearts would stay withered and tiny and useless. Xemnas knew this, and he made absolutely sure Saix did not. He made sure to control Saix and isolate him so that he would never grow his heart back, so that he’d stay under Xemnas’ thumb. He did everything he did with the intention of breaking Saix so that he’d be a suitable vessel. He acted exactly like a cult leader in the real world, brainwashing a naive teenage victim into throwing himself into his cause. There is no way Saix could ever have consented to a relationship with Xemnas, even if he said the word “yes.”
Saix is a victim of a manipulative monster turning him into a mindless slave. It’s my full belief that this actually makes his and Lea’s relationship salvageable. Saix was never in full control of the way he was. He is the same as Riku and Terra, and neither of them were abandoned by their friends. I fully believe Saix won’t be either. Lea will come through for him.
DREAM DROP DISTANCE SPOILERS END HERE
Now then. I don’t intend to answer any more of these asks. You should be ashamed of yourselves, trying to hurt a stranger over a fictional character’s non-canon fictional relationship. The shit you say to others can hurt people. Is it really worth it, for some video game character? Could you look me in the eye, face to face, and say these things? I don’t think you could.
Maybe you should think about how it would feel to be on the receiving end of this kind of ridiculous bullshit. Think about it, and get back to me when you can conduct yourself like an adult instead of a snot-nosed, insolent child throwing a temper tantrum.
ooc; This. Because you know what- she is my girlfriend and also a HUMAN BEING. You are doing a great disservice to your pairing, this fandom, and the tumblr community. How DARE you attack someone simply because they do not agree with your ship. How DARE you try to tear her down over something as stupid as a fictional goddamn pairing. Her blog is IN CHARACTER. And you know what: SAIX AND AXEL SPEND THEIR ENTIRE TIME BETRAYING THE FUCK OUT OF XEMNAS. The way she plays Saix is CANON- try playing the goddamn game without shipping goggles on. Kingdom Hearts is about friendship, not who is fucking who. If you dislike her blog I suggest you block her, because she is not going to cater to your bullshit just because baby is having their first temper tantrum on the interwebs. If you have any other negative opinions about her I suggest you keep them to yourself, because nobody actually cares.
You should be ASHAMED of yourself. Completely fucking ashamed.
