So I was talking about it with my brother, and I’m having this feeling (now that I think about it) that Isa tried to escape the Organization at one point. (And maybe Lea tried to join him)
Because I was thinking…
YMX says they were able to track Sora in DDD because he had the X sigil on his clothes.
Well Saix has an X directly on his face, obviously. I have a feeling he tried to escape, and Xemnas scarred his face so they’d have track of him at all times, and he wouldn’t have a way to remove the sigil. It’s scarred on his f a c e.
That just makes me really sad for him honestly. That’s probably part of why he doesn’t leave the castle or go on missions (that we know of) because he’s not allowed to leave. If he tried, Xemnas / Xehanort would just come back for him. They know where he is all the time.
I think if Isa could have escaped the Organization, he would’ve. But because they had track of him, he was completely unable to leave. It would be pointless. Now he’s just completely brainwashed and I just think he doesn’t know how to turn back.
You’re right.
That explains the mark.
We know that Axel and Saix wanted to betray the Organization. Axel took out everyone else at Castle Oblivion to remove Xemnas’s followers and help Saix get closer to Xemnas.
They knew they couldn’t escape so their only hope was to destroy the Organization from the inside.
It also explains Axel’s actions in Days and the KH2 prologue. You can’t turn your back on the Organization. You can’t leave.
They will hurt you. They will destroy you.
He tries to get Xion and Roxas to come back. Insists he’ll bring them back by force, because he believes it will be worse for them if they try to escape. He’s trying to protect them by forcing them to stay in the Cult, because he knows there’s no way to leave. His best friend tried and he saw what happened to him.
However, Saix didn’t become completely hopeless just from that punishment. He and Axel were still working to be to free, covertly as mentioned above. They just knew that running wouldn’t help.
They had their plan. It was working! Axel managed to take out five members at Castle Oblivion. Before Roxas and Xion, there were 12 members, he and Saix are traitors, that leaves Xemnas and 9 assumed loyal followers. 10 Organization members and Axel took out five of them. They are halfway there, and thanks to his good work, he and Saix can work their way into Xemnas’s good graces. They can get closer. Force him to set them free. To tell them some way to become human again.
Then Roxas and Xion show up, and Axel starts to care about them.
It was always Lea and Isa together in this. The two of them against the world, trust no one else. It was their plan. Play loyal, get closer, finally be free. It’s easy not to care about anyone else when you have no Heart and only the memories of each other.
That’s why Saix tells Axel “You’ve changed”.
Axel is no longer the cold assassin who puts their objective first. He wants to keep Xion and Roxas safe. Axel has begun to grow a heart (literally) and his priorities shift.
Saix can’t run away. Saix is marked and they both know it. His only hope is their plan. If Axel decided to run off with Roxas and Xion, or later just with Roxas, he’d have to leave Saix behind.
Axel doesn’t think you can escape. He’s seen what happened to Saix. He knows his choices are obey or be destroyed, but even if he did think leave, he’d have to turn his back on Saix, on Isa, his best friend, the one who has been with him through all of it.
In Days Saix feels betrayed, Axel feels trapped, torn between loyalties and friends, and trapped still by this cult.
And what an evil Cult Xemnas/Xehanort made. His own members will enforce not running, because he makes examples out of them. All the while he gas lights them into believing they do not have a Heart and the only way to ever have a Heart again is to follow him.
We learn in DDD that Hearts will regrow on their own. “A number of us unquestionably showed signs of a
burgeoning replacement. Once born, the heart can also be nurtured.”
What nurtures a Heart? Feelings. Friendship. (Friends are power).
So Xemnas makes sure their believe that that feelings aren’t real, that they can’t really feel anything. To ignore their burgeoning replacement and thus starve it to death so that they remain good empty vessels.
Roxas questions it because he had a Heart from the beginning as Ventus’s Heart rests within him. Replica’s have Hearts and Xion’s Heart was nurtured by Roxas’s love and friendship. Roxas and Xion could love, and they loved Axel, they shared their Heart with him as friends and nurtured his burgeoning Heart. Axel quelled it, repeating Xemnas’s gas lighting “I don’t have a Heart” but the friendship was too strong. They made him feel like he had a Heart. After losing them both, and all that grief centered on Roxas because he’s the only one Axel remembered, all that mattered was feeling again. Feeling anything again after so much emptiness.
So Axel gave up. Axel gave up on Saix’s plan and on Saix. All that mattered to him now was getting Roxas back and he’d serve his own agenda.
Saix is alone now.
Friendship nurtures the Heart. Whatever burgeoning Heart he held onto was kept alive, a tiny spark, fed by his friendship with Lea. Lea’s friendship was the oxygen that kept the tiny flame alive and once Axel turned on the Organization that flame was snuffed out.
Saix couldn’t join him. Saix can’t ever run again.
He has nothing left.
Nothing except Xemnas and the hope he gives him.
Serve me and you’ll have your Heart again. No one else will help you. You don’t have anyone else. You can’t love and no one can love you. It’s gas lighting and classic abuse.
Organization XIII is an abusive cult and Saix is a victim.
@cameoamalthea I’m gonna cry… See this is why he’s my favorite character! This is the kind of stuff that happenes to his character and people are so quick to hate him because of his personality.
i love when people are passionate about a certain character, like really passionate about them bc then i start associating them with that character and then the character reminds me of them and i’ll just be looking through my dash and then suddenly i’ll think about them
Meeting Prompto is low key the best thing that ever happened to you.
Even if it was kind of a mess.
It’s a blind date that does it. Your friends set the two of you up at a diner in the city, and he is such a bouncy, sputtering nerd from the very moment you introduce yourself.
He can barely look you in the eyes without the fear of just screaming compliments at you because what the hell how are you so pretty and how is he actually on a date with you right now where did Noct even find you?
And you aren’t much better.
The second you see him standing there with that crooked grin and those big, blue eyes your brain short circuits and cheesy, 80s love songs start playing on a loop.
You’re pretty sure that within the amount of time to takes for your order to get to the table, you drink double your weight in ice water.
Like, you’re so nervous that your hands are practically vibrating, and naturally water dribbles all over you at least twice. Which makes him choke on his tongue and throw an insane amount of napkins in your direction like it will help.
Poor boy can’t stop staring into his cup as if it’s giving him advice on how to not screw this date up.
He does not. Because despite the awkward start, the two of you somehow, someway power through it and agree wholeheartedly to a second date. And a third. And so on.
Eventually all of the nerves that comes with a new relationship leave you both, but for the better part of six months he still turns a pretty shade of pink any time you look at him. Prom just can’t get over it. You are really so, so beautiful and he can’t help it.
He does try to hide it, often turning his chin down to burn a hole into a spot on the ground as you grin at him and continue with whatever you are saying.
Admittedly, you are just a little evil about it.
Sometimes you stroke a single fingertip down the warm skin of his cheek as you speak, just to see it darken in color. It’s pretty fascinating.
You’ve started a game with yourself where you count how many ways you can get him to blush. You’re currently at 143 (and still counting).
One of your favorite ways to get him all flustered is by giving him kisses on the nose. It makes him giggle, high pitched and shaky as he turns strawberry pink all the way to the tips of his ears.
Being this close to him has many perks.
From this proximity you can memorize every single freckle, every pale lash that rests against the softness of his cheeks, and the curve of his lips beneath his scrunched up nose.
You commit to memory every tiny detail of him and catalogue it in your brain under the never ending list of things you love about him. And, then you’re making out with him because who can blame you.
SPEAKING OF FRECKLES.
You are absolutely obsessed with them, and you make it known like ten times a day.
It usually starts when you’re cuddling. Prompto will be sprawled out on the bed with you, nuzzled into the front of your shirt and voice muffled as you talk about your day and such.
You don’t know how it happens, but you always end up starting at his shoulders, counting out each little freckle one by one.
At this point, he knows you’re going to start before you do, and often times you can feel him shaking with laughter against your chest. It absolutely does not stop you when he teases you about it, and it never will.
Every ten or so are punctuated with a press of your lips to whatever part of him you can reach, and you don’t cease until one of you falls asleep or you lose count all together.
One day he shows up to Noctis’s place with a face full of tiny, drawn-in constellations. It didn’t take much convincing for him to agree to let you play connect the dots with one of your felt tipped eyeliner pens.
You were so cute, tongue sticking out as you concentrated on getting the lines straight and stopping each time you finished one to explain the meaning behind it.
He totally teared up when he had to wash it off before bed that night. Not that he’d ever admit to it.
Prompto is extremely supportive of anything you do, especially if it will make you happy. Sometimes to the extent of annoying his friends by going on about this awesome new thing you’re up to.
“Noct! Did you see this pic of what Y/N made for dinner last night?”
“You jealous that my girlfriend is a better cook than you, Iggy?”
“Prompto, it was just take out that I put on to a plate for you. You literally watched it happen.”
Remembers every anniversary and every important date, even makes up his own important dates and discreetly reminds you a couple days before hand bc he’s a good boy.
He is very thoughtful. The king of homemade gifts!!!! They are all so well made that at first you think he purchased them.
Your first anniversary was when he gave you a giant photo album full of pictures that he’d been taking in secret.
A lot of them were of you in various situations, of the places you’d been to together, or just of things that reminded him of you.
Every time you flipped to a page that had a selfie of him in it you screamed out loud about how handsome he is and how much you love seeing him.
He hid in the couch cushions, nervous laughing and smiling so hard that it made his cheeks ache.
This sweet little baby is so full of love for you that sometimes it physically hurts.
But like any other human being, Prom’s not always 100% sunshine and rainbows.
He’s too nice, too sweet, and too scared to ruin your mood so a lot of the time he just won’t tell you if something is wrong.
His feelings will eat away at him until it gets so bad that you have to pry it from him, wrapping every limb around his frame and not letting go until he tells you what’s up.
It’s something the two of you are working on, and it’s becoming easier and easier for both of you– easier for you to catch the tiny hints that something’s wrong, and easier for him to talk to you about it, too.
Prompto always wants to be connected to you in some way. His hands are always grabbing for yours, and if there’s ever a situation where hand holding is somehow not okay his pinkie is still sneaking over.
He just wants to know you’re real and that you’re still with him sometimes.
A ball of energy that is constantly bouncing around, fidgeting, or rocking you from side to side if you’re near him.
This is accompanied by him humming little songs under his breath, soft and sweet against the shell of your ear.
You aren’t sure if he notices, honestly.
Gets cold so easily in the winter months!!! You had to purchase him several giant hoodies for Christmas last year because every single time he went to touch you his hands felt like ice cubes.
Will unzip the hoodie and make you get into it with him before zipping it back up.
Because he’s kind of a demon who can get whatever he wants from you just by pouting and calling you your favorite pet name.
Nicknames make him melt into a pile of mush! The dumber they sound, the better they are to him.
One time you called him “Little Spork” after a particularly good cuddle session and he laughed so hard that he fell out of bed.
You’ll do anything if it makes him happy. Well, pretty much anything.
You still refuse to let him take those special pictures of you, no matter how precious those begging eyes of his are.
It’s only a matter of time before you give in though, and he knows it.
So yeah, this boy will be the end of you honestly, and you wouldn’t have it any other damn way.
@love-dreams-unless-delusional said: Prompto scenario to his not yet s/o giving him a hug suddenly when he is moping about his inner troubles. S/o ain’t the most touchy type, so this is rare.
Under his playfulness and smiles, Prompto is a ball of nerves and depression tbh
He’s one of those people who tries to forget he’s a person by dedicating all of his energy to the people he loves. As much as he’d like to say it works, he’s still alone with his thoughts at the end of the day.
Like Noctis, you’ve been entrusted with Prompto’s negative emotions as well as his positive ones. He might try not to make a big deal out of it, but you know how much it means for him to expose himself like this to you
So it makes sense to you when you give Prompto a hug after a particularly hard day. Every laugh has been forced, every smile fake, he’s uncharacteristically quiet, those big eyes of his are downcast… And you know blondie loves any sort of affection
(And it’s not like you hate being touched. You just want to be touched on your terms. And you definitely don’t hate the idea of touching Prompto…)
Now you’ve gone over this in your head, but when you hug Prompto and he realizes it’s you he kind of short circuits
“You don’t have to do this!” “I– what?”
He even tries to pull away? Because he’s like “they don’t like this, they don’t want to touch me, they don’t want to be touched.” You have to be pretty insistent for about thirty awkward seconds
Of course he’s taking full advantage of having your attention when he realizes you’re fine with giving it. He keeps up a sad front for like ten minutes just to keep your arms wrapped around him. This is rare and he’s not letting you go without a fight
“You wanna talk about what’s wrong–” “Nah, this is fine.”
(This isn’t to say he’ll hold onto you until your uncomfortable. He’s just very touch starved, and he likes you very much, and if you notice that he’s crying it’s because you’re so sweet, oh wowsers)
