2AM AkuRoku rambles.

nijuukoo:

So i was rewatching KH cutscenes because i’m a masochist who likes heartbreak before bedtime, and the one detail about Axel and Roxas’ farewell that continues to bug the stickler-for-detail in me is where Axel’s tear landed.

All of y’all should know exactly what i’m talking about. the entire damn scene ends with this single, shiny, i-can’t-love-cuz-i-don’t-have-a-goddamn-heart teardrop landing on the ledge, while every other crying scene in the entirety of the series has never gone in to that amount of detail–it’s always just the tear streaming down their face (except for Terra crying over Eraqus, but his tears actually made sense when it landed on the floor)

So why and how did it land on the tower ledge if Axel and Roxas had been sitting the way they were? it should have landed on his coat, or his hand.

The way he’s positioned below, you know he’s leaning towards Roxas at this point, and fair enough, because he’s saying the most emotional, totally-platonic goodbye to his best friend.

So why did his lone tear land on the ledge like this? And if you notice the relief on the wall in the back, and compare it to the wide angle image of where they’re sitting, it would indicate Axel had moved/leaned his body a lot further towards Roxas than where he’s originally positioned. That said, the relative size of the relief is strangely shrunken compared to the wide angle–why was it necessary for them to put in the wall detail like that when the focus isn’t on it at all? I find it very unsatisfactory for this just to be a “oooOOoohhh it’s just setting the mood and all symbolic and shit and it’s just supposed to be a meaningful teardrop and the background’s not important, it’s for composition probably, and there’s nothing else to say other than Axel cried ’cause his just-friends friend is gonnnne~~~~”

Bullshit. if they wanted composition they would have centered the entire goddamn thing. They purposely wanted to indicate specifically where the tear landed, and that Axel, after giving his farewell, had shifted his position to lean in closer to his bestest buddy, and to probably-maybe-definitely kiss Roxas. And they remained like that until both Roxas (and/or Axel’s) form disappeared and all that remained were the goddamn tears that kept flowing down Axel’s face.

Fact.
