Jane admired the way her breasts bounced in her tight baby-pink sweater as she contemplated the impending zombie apocalypse. Her brow furrowed as she wondered, would she be able to find her favorite vermilion nail polish once the world had ended? No, her favorite rosé lipstick was far more important than any nail polish. She smiled, her pretty rosebud lips forming a heart shape as she recalled learning the meaning of the word vermilion for the first time, in Mr Abraham’s high school English class. He was definitely planning on leaving his horrible shrew of a wife for her. Or he would have done, if not for the impending zombie apocalypse. Jane smiled again, but sadly this time, and wondered whether she would always be this beautiful, in the approaching storm.

People are so whiney anymore its unreal. I want to hand some of my real world problems to people who find time to bitch and moan about someone they don’t like simply being somewhere.
Hello, friend! Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I shall earnestly pray to Cthulhu that senpai notices you and personally visits you at home to jump up and down on your sofa 💗
Just a few reasons why Watchdogs Legion looks like it’s going to be a load of shit. The developer failed to get even basic things about London and the UK correct.
I’ve started playing Story of Seasons, and Oak Tree Town is the first town in any Harvest Moon series that I have disliked. If I moved here and lived like my character did, then I would probably feel ripped off and bitter.
“Fortunately, I don’t need to eat or else I probably would have passed
out from malnutrition after a few weeks (my character literally hasn’t
eaten in weeks)”
“No one bothers to check up on me, including the neighbor who claimed
I was like a grandchild to her. (She completely ignores me unless I
seek her out myself. Does she treat her actual grandchild like that? Is
that why he never visits?)”
“(P.S. I think the villagers know I don’t have fishing rod and keep inviting to fish with them to remind me how poor I am.)”
AHAHAHAHA this is fucking gold
😂
😂😂
Best confession I’ve read in ages.
I think the anon just really needed to vent. Anon-sama, please be my friend you’re bloody hilarious.
I’ve enjoyed debating ships—I root for Sho in Skip Beat! to raise the hackles of the overwhelming majority of Ren loyalists, but it’s all meant in fun, which is exactly what shipping discussions should always be.
Vampire Knight is full of complex characters and emotions, and it was never going to have an ending that could be wrapped up in a perfect bow where the heroine rides off into the sunset with her heart’s one and only true love. It’s not that type of shojo manga, which also makes it awesome.
Did Yuki love two men at the same time? Yes. There’s no debate in that if you’ve read the series.
But there is only one man Yuki gave her heart to—literally. And that’s what really struck me in this volume of Vampire Knight Memories 2. The circumstance is completely different than when Yuki was turned into a human as a child, because Yuki kept her heart. Kaname is living as a human without his heart—it was too weak to support his life after centuries of making hunter weapons. He has Yuki’s heart inside him. Kaname retains his own personality and sense of self, but often you see him clutching his chest and thinking about Yuki, even though he’s supposed to have no memories of her from the spell that made him human. It’s just so very intriguing. I want to see where this goes.
-Editor Nancy
Vampire Knight Memories vol. 2 is out in bookstores now!
I don’t understand why individuals are so concerned with an editor’s opinion? Why waste your energy, especially with the position we’re in as fans that read (i.e: support) illegal content. Everybody realizes the power dynamic here, correct? Either way, it’s a win-win for the editor and and lose-lose for those who disagree. This is free press for them, additional traffic to their account. That’s an essential part of Nancy’s job. If the editor thinks it’s a solid idea to post controversial material on an official account, let them post it. They probably have permission to do so. Shippers aren’t about to alter Nancy’s mindset. They’ll continue to post and do what they want.
Also, it doesn’t make a difference who Nancy supports! Their position as editor doesn’t make their opinion any more important or valid than the rest of the Vampire Knight community. Nancy’s post was meant to promote VKM 2, which I’d say they’ve fairly done. The editor wanted to catch the eye of individuals, which they were able to do with “The Only Man Yuki Gave Her Heart To”.
Um, and? Was that all Nancy had to say? Ok, so why is everybody either pissed or ecstatic? It’s simple: Nancy used the word “only”, which held the implication that Yuuki “only” truly loved Kaname.
I’m in hysterics, shippers. Nancy say’s that Yuuki loved both men. What they don’t address is whether they view Yuuki’s love for so-and-so equal to that of her love for so-and-so’s rival. That’s why everybody is either pissed or ecstatic.
It doesn’t matter. Nancy’s opinion doesn’t invalidate the entirety of VK/ VKM. Their opinion of who Yuuki loved “more” doesn’t decided who has won and lost this shipper debate. Nancy is just an individual, and as I mentioned before, their position as editor doesn’t make what they say more important.
Personally, I think this is a wonderful and clever way to promote VKM2. Surely, we can all pull the veil from our eyes and see that essential fact? As for Nancy’s reply to the anonymous individual, I reluctantly side with them on the topic of credibility. As decent individuals, we can’t accuse people of ill intent without proper credibility. Hypothetically, if false information was released and consumed by the public, a lot of people would face severe reprimand.
Also, I want to clarify that I don’t support all of Nancy’s comments. I’m disappointed by the manner in which an official account abruptly interjected itself into a fandom’s issue with ship wars. I don’t think it was a clever idea, as it makes some people feel ostracized from the company. Plus, it feels forced. They haven’t been an active part of the “hardcore” community, so their sudden appearance made the petty part of me want to make a few fresh comments.
Overall, my advice is: don’t let Nancy’s comments or implications impact the way you view your ship, whether it’s yume or zeki. The only individual that should be able to shape the way you this series is Hino Matsuri. Write her an email, or send her a letter with some questions. Be polite. Be kind. Be smart.
Hm, well, I can’t take such an editor’s opinion seriously right from the beginning because of her simple reasoning: “I root for Sho in Skip Beat!to raise the hackles of the overwhelming majority of Ren loyalists…” That tells me everything I need to know about why she has suddenly posted her unasked-for opinion on VK/VKM ships and inserted herself into the fandom. It certainly wasn’t for love of the story or characters. By her own admission, her sole purpose for doing so in Skip Beat! was to create even more of a toxic atmosphere, and the fact that she opens her post on VKM ships with that confession is extremely telling. (Personally I couldn’t care less about VK ships. I grew to dislike Yuki and the only reason I read the series anymore is Zero).
It is also worrying that Nancy is actively promoting an abusive and dysfunctional relationship as something romantic and something that she is supportive of. Anyone familiar with YA fiction will be aware of this concerning and ongoing trend to promote stalking, sexual harassment, etc from fictional love interests as romantic, simply because the perpetrator is handsome.
Furthermore, for someone in the senior position of “editor” her grammar is absolutely appalling! That’s another reason why I cannot take seriously the musings of such a person. Let me explain. She wrote:
“The circumstance is completely different than when Yuki was turned into a human…”
The correct phrase is ‘different from.’
‘Different than’ makes no sense whatsoever and for a so-called editor to not possess even basic English grammar skills is inexcusable.
The word ‘different’ means that one thing ‘differs from’ another.
A differs from B, therefore A is different from B.
It is impossible for A to differ than B, e.g. ‘A differs than B.’
✖
Therefore:
A is different than B.
✖
A is different from B.

I have proofread professionally for many years and horrible grammar really bothers me, particularly when it comes from supposed professionals, who really ought to know better.
From The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, Young Link makes his return in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game after a nearly 17 year absence! He’s faster and more nimble than Link, but he’s also lighter, making him easier to launch.
Mainly Harvest Moon ~Kana appreciation. Also Animal Crossing, Pokémon, Vampire Knight, Zelda, Resident Evil, Fate/stay night, anything Nintendo, sarcasm, tea-drinking, and cute things. AND! I live for Eurovision, so normal blogging is suspended on that one special night every year.
