kuja lives IS canon for me, im never gonna not do it :P both bc of personal bias and also my god, the Drama. face your consequences kuja

yessssss vivi is just such a sweet kid but hes also full of rage. at least when kuja is concerned. i was vividly thinking of when vivi screams that he hates kuja and im like. good for you, son! he gets to be mad and stay mad. not everyone must or should forgive kuja. it was very engaging writing his anger and feelings.

I love vivi and his grandpa so much. i am so weak. also i thought itd be a nice contrast of like, the themes of family and origin in the game. Because kuja could be called vivi's "father" as his creator, but did none of the raising or care that vivi's adoptive grandpa did. it parallels how kuja didnt have a parent either, only a distant creator; unlike vivi and zidane, kuja had no loving family, and so became coldly selfish to survive. kuja's isolation is in direct opposition to how warm and friendly zidane and vivi are to others, reaching out where kuja withdraws.

I'm glad you like that detail! I like to think of the black mages as being like black cats. i mean, they both have void faces and shiny eyes! also its Extremely adorable <3

dont worry about the lateness, im just glad you liked it! i really enjoyed the prompt and the excuse to write about all my ff9 emotions.
