This is me, dying of the awesome in my little corner over here.
Oh my god. That was so very, very much the Goofy fic I've been wistfully waiting for someone to write for ages. The angst! More importantly, the believable angst! I always get the feeling that Goofy and Sora tend to get swallowed up in Sora's shadow sometimes, even in the game, and as a result, they don't really get a chance to shine at all. But they are fairly prominent figures in Sora's life, so you'd expect to find more fic that at least mentions them, wouldn't you? :/
You slipped in all the references to life on Disney!World, and that, that is awesome, because I adore it when background/worldbuildy bits just casually slipped in the narrative like that. It makes the piece feel so much richer without infodumping description on you. :))) Goofy wondering what it means to be a knight made me feel for him, man, and it's proof that you don't need a horrible emo past to experience meaningful angst--sometimes you can just be scared of where you are and where you're going.
I love Goofy in this so, so much. Questioning what they're doing is never Sora's job; Goofy's the one who'd probably ever really stop to wonder over the implications of what they're doing. Sora and Donald have their weapons and some kind of weird energy propelling them along, but Goofy... Goofy has a shield, man, it's supposed to be a defensive equipment, and he's expected to use it to bash heads in. He never seems to be gung-ho about the quest in the same way Sora and Donald are, either-- he'll support them, but that's because they're his friends, more than because he wants to do the heroic thing too,
This ficlet. Captured that. Totally. Argh, my poor heart. *wibbles horribly* The last two lines are the best thing in the world, ever.
Thank you for this. So, so much. I really mean that. *mem'd*
...squeak.
