Organization XIII as quotes from the brilliant gabrielagresteofficial

Demyx!

hello naughty children it's keyblade time

Do you think the random stuff in Ven's room means anything? Or it's really just random?

Personally, I think when BBS was created, Ventus was just supposed to be a normal kid from Scala ad Caelum. There's astronomy stuff, like the telescope so he can look out at the stars. The plants are probably a reference to Roxas's room in KH2. The empty birdcage is interesting. In the short story called "Roxas: Somewhere in Time" Roxas says he feels like a caged bird and dreams of flying. Ven probably feels the same way since he's restricted from leaving TLoD. There's also a lot of alchemy stuff, like the scales and beakers, similar to the classroom in Scala. The tribal mask is a little random, though.

As for the posters, I have wondered that myself. I was like, "Why a male/female combined symbol?" It's too specific to be random. And the two "snakes" wrapped around the triangle (fire) symbol is a symbol for an alchemical marriage. Two opposite polarities joining together to give life. Same as the Venus/Mars. There's one with the Jupiter symbol, which is Tin in alchemy. Tin is considered the “breath of life.”

I could be reading WAY too much into it, but maybe it is a reference to two opposites, Terra (Masculine/Earth) and Aqua (Feminine/Water) coming together and giving life. You know how Scrooge gives Ven the two tickets to Disney Town? In the Japanese version, Ven was told to take his parents, lol. Even if you only see them as platonic, Terra and Aqua are the ones who "gave birth" to Ven. Personally, I think they are a cute pairing and I ship them.

Parallels between Roxas and Ventus

They both went through a zombie stage.

For Ventus, it happened after Xehanort split his heart in half, while Roxas’ was the first days after his birth.

They both ran away from the only home they knew.

Ventus did it to follow Terra, because he was scared of losing him after being taunted by Vanitas.

Roxas did it after he learned what the Organization and Axel had been hiding from him, to go find the truth about himself.

They felt left out by their friends and were both affected by it to the point they even questioned their friendship with them.

Ventus asked Terra and Aqua to bring him with them on their adventures, but they refused and told him to go home, because they didn’t want to put him in harm’s way. He was hurt by it and, after meeting Lea and Isa, he said that “it must be nice knowing who your friends are”.

Axel and Xion both hid important information from Roxas during their time in the Organization, and either avoided him or refused to tell him what was going on, even when he asked them. Roxas noticed it, and even wrote in his diary that he felt left out. During his last mission in Agrabah (Day 354), he asked himself if he still had got any friends he belonged with.

They were seen as pawns by the villain of their game, which were people they originally trusted.

I’m sure Ventus trusted Xehanort when he was his student. Xehanort, though, only saw him as a pawn, a chess piece for his plan. He decided to split Ventus’ heart to forge the X-blade not even knowing if Ventus would survive the split (and he almost didn’t).

Roxas originally trusted the Organization, but they only saw him as a pawn, a puppet only good to follow orders and eventually be turned into a Xehanort. When he was not useful to them anymore, they simply decided to get rid of him.

Both of them had to deal with having important things about themselves being hidden from them, and questioning who/what they are.

Eraqus never wanted Ventus to visit other worlds or to grow stronger because he was afraid about what would have happened if the X-blade was to be forged. When Ventus found out about this, he questioned what he really was and confronted Eraqus to learn the truth.

Axel didn’t want for Roxas to find out he was Sora’s Nobody, because he was afraid that, if Roxas knew about it, he would go away to look for Sora. When Roxas found out what Axel and the Organization had been hiding from him, he questioned who he really was and confronted Axel to learn the truth. Moreover, when he was put into Data Twilight Town and his memories were wiped, DiZ and Riku also tried to keep Roxas from finding out the truth about himself.

They both experienced having someone they trusted trying to hurt them.

In Ventus’ case, two of his masters tried to hurt him. First, Master Xehanort when he tried to split his heart, and for what Xehanort knew that could have killed Ven, and almost did. Then, Eraqus decided Ven should no longer exist because he was scared of what would happen if Ventus and Vanitas merged to create the X-blade, and he would have succeeded had Terra not stopped him.

In Roxas’ case, the Organization decided they would get rid of him after he was no longer useful to them, and sent him to do very difficult missions, hoping he would get defeated. I’m pretty sure Roxas still trusted the Organization when they decided they didn’t need him anymore. He was also attacked by Xion at the end of Days, and Axel at the beginning of KH2 (even if, in Xion’s case, she did it to force Roxas to defeat her. I’m not sure Roxas realized it, though).

They both were told they should not exist.

Eraqus told Ventus he should no longer exist, while DiZ told Roxas he should have never existed. They reacted very differently: when Ventus found out the truth about himself and the X-blade, he believed he shouldn’t exist and even asked his friends to put an end to him, while Roxas fought tooth and nail for his right to exist.

 I’m not sure if the following count as parallels, but I wanted to include them anyway:

While Roxas was born in Twilight Town, it seems like Ventus was originally from Daybreak Town.

They both have a light and darkness motif. It is especially clear in their clothes, which are very similar. Ven’s is probably to represent he and Vanitas, the light and the darkness, while for Roxas is probably because as a Nobody, he’s a being in between light and darkness.
