[Ignoring any complicated feelings he might have with regards to this.]

While I know that you are doing this with good intentions, Sora, matters of the Heart can be fairly complicated.

Are you certain of your qualifications?

[tl;dr please think this through]

[oathkeeper]

[Wow, tell him the story, Ira??]

i know they can be complicated! that's why i want to help in the first place!

i mean i've been dating vanitas for years now, isn't that a lot?

Is this by chance the Sora you spoke of?

You know so many helpful little ones.

[Is he amused? Mayhap a little.]

Man alive, I didn't realize you were an expert on lovey-dovey gushy stuff, Sora! :3

And what is it that makes this "that time of year"?

[oathkeeper]

as a matter of fact! i am! i have a ton of creds.

[You know, street creds.]

it's usually this month that people celebrate their feelings for each other! have you ever heard of valentine's day?

sender: beat

[stillarhino]

thought you was supposed to be a great defective yo

[He still hasn't learned the correct spelling... or word.]

sender: Martel Yggdrasill

[untwisted]

Oh, you can? How much experience do you have?

[oathkeeper]

you'll be happy to know that this doctor has been in love for years now! isn't that a good checkmark to have?

sender: Flowey

[your_best_friend]

What should a person do if they've been unable to feel love towards anyone else for thousands upon thousands of years?

Sender: Naoya

[crouching_sin]

Stop.

And realize that affection can be a decent way to fill the gap, even if you never actually will.

Sender: riku

[retrieves]

[he is... nodding so slowly where he is right now.]

love doctor... ?

[oathkeeper]

[Nod faster, Riku.]

doctor sora, the love doctor!! it's got a good ring to it, doesn't it?

Would others love me if I lost all my teeth?

[oathkeeper]

yeah!! it's not about what's in your mouth it's about what's in your heart!

sender: link

[skyglider]

[oh boy this'll be fun]

Very interesting. What is the love doctor's most commonly-given advice?

[oathkeeper]

most common? shoot your shot! don't be scared because you miss every kiss if you don't at least try!

sender: hiyori

[wwtd]

[ this sounds like a scam but, at this point, she's so desperate. ]

Please, doctor, how do I stop the sneezing?

[oathkeeper]

oh noo!! are you sneezing a lot? tell me how often you've been sneezing! what colours pop out??

sender: Ferran

[noblegarnet]

lol. lmao, even

[it's a little cringe to write these things down on paper, but honestly? worth it.]

[oathkeeper]

FERRAN THIS IS SERIOUS I MEAN IT

Sender: Aerith Gainsborough

[inheritedearth]

Wow, Sora, I had no idea you were a doctor!

[Obviously, he isn't really, but this is too fun not to play along with.]

Does this mean you have pink bubbles following you around, too?

[oathkeeper]

yeah! i've been an expert forever! i bet you're impressed!

[Please be impressed by him!]

and yup, i do have some pink bubbles following me around! how about you?

Sender: Nico di Angelo

[refantasma]

why are you doing this?

[oathkeeper]

why not?? don't you ever wonder about stuff or want to ask someone for advice?

Sender: Malon

[ranchgirl]

[ On the one hand, "love doctor" sounds pretty suspicious... On the other hand, Malon does have a question that's been on her mind for a few weeks now... And then on the third hand, she kinda doesn't want to bring it up where anyone can read it. ]

Isn't this too public for a doctor to be asking these kinds of questions?

[ What about doctor-patient confidentiality, Sora? ]

[oathkeeper]

[Never fear he's got an answer for that third hand!]

it could be! but don't worry you can always send me a private question if you want to!

Sender: Vanitas

[darkcharge]

Are you really trying this again?

I don't really think you're qualified to discuss this at all. Especially right now, Sora.

[oathkeeper]

[Shhhh SHHHHHHHHHHH.]

oh come on, vanitas...

sender: sephiroth

[sefirot]

Love is a fleeting illusion. You only prolong the suffering of those around you.

[oathkeeper]

no one asked you to be sad you know

sender: Ace

[donfire]

Yo Sora, since you're offering, how do you ask someone out?

[oathkeeper]

there's lot of good ways to do that, what have you tried so far?

sender: zack

[theheroics]

oh man sora you actually did it! youre really taking this doctor advice to the next level!

[ HE IS SO PROUD OF YOU?

THEY GROW UP SO FAST ]

[oathkeeper]

[Ya! Be proud of him, Zack!! Thank you for helping him with the idea!]

yeah and it's really working out too! seems like a lot of people wanna talk about love!

sender: ereshkigal

[queenofkur]

How do you make it less painful when you can never be with the person you love?

[ Clearly a doctor will have the answer! ]

[oathkeeper]

[Oh, this one... It makes him feel so sad. He's got this.]

you know, i'm not gonna lie... something like that might never stop hurting. but knowing that it does means your heart really cares about them. and that's really special.

let's try and figure this out.

if you're okay with telling me, why can't you be with them? you can tell me as little or as lot as you wanna.

[ Zelda has her misgivings about the legitimacy of Sora's medical license, but he has given the princess good advice in the past. Plus, he seems to understand matters of the heart a lot better than most people.

A public forum like the journals isn't Zelda's preferred place to ask for relationship advice (especially after her recent debacle with her shared dream), so she's taking extra precautions to hide her identity. ]

I have a few questions I hope you can answer, Sora.

First, how does one know when one is dating?

[oathkeeper]

[That's exactly why Sora is more than happy to get anonymous and private answers. He understands how much courage it can take to ask these things. Sometimes it's easier to ask without a name.

And as much as his answers can be silly sometimes... He really does want to help people.]

sure, that's what i'm here for!

when you're dating someone that probably means that you're going out of your way to spend time with them! you put things aside so you can go places together and you're always getting to know each other better! you probably get really excited just to do things with them. like going out for lunch or going exploring together. are you doing any of that?

What do you do when you are in love with someone who is far above you in status and physically incapable of being in love with you in return?

[oathkeeper]

[Ohhhh. This one is a doozy.]

uhhh can i guess a few questions first?

[He's pretty sure he's going to need some context here.]

why are they incapable of being in love?
