Roach attack. (Aidou & Kaname fanart.)

Aug. 28th, 2009 | 08:13 pm
mood: crazy crazy
music: Mindless Self Indulgence playlist

 

AU crack:
What if Kaname and Aidou were cute moe girls instead of pretty boys?

And what if purebloods were secretly terrified of roaches and other insects....?
Of course, it's not something they can publically admit, it would be so terribly embarassing to reveal such a lame weakness to the rest of the vampire society...




Close-up: Kaname.   Close-up: Aidou.

Aidou-chan was Kana-chan's official defender and ferocious
chaser of nasty little crawly/scurry-y things in the dorm.



Don't ask... 8D;;;;;;; *LOL*


I was trying to kill some stress by finishing this crack picture I started drawing a while ago, and wanted to practice also a different style of coloring.... and well, uhm, the results are bizarre. XD;;

Like I said, it's AU crack... XD;;


Thanks & Credits:
Texture by Cloaks.
Chiyogami by Gimei.


Unrelatedly, I had a fit of idiocy and made up a girly uniform, instead of putting them both in Night Class girl's outfits. EPIC FAIL.

Also unrelatedly, Kaname's got as much chest as Yuuki.... and yet he's still doing better than Aidou-chan. XD Her chest is counted in the A negative category if such a thing exists. XD XD


And onto a funny subject: "Kaname" is an unisex name. In fact... it's used more often for girls than boys! ;)
So is "Haruka", btw... XD

And "Yuuki" can also be a boy's name! (Spelled with a different meaning than "gentle princess", obviously. XD XD)
(Must be a Kuran tradition, to have the guy be uke to the girl. XD)


I have a more detailed AU idea with gender switch, this roach AU is unrelated and just for fun. XD
I might make the more detailed one into a short fic series sometime. It's about the love triangle as in VK, but with Zero & Kaname being both girls and in love for Yuuki, who's a boy (and the school's playboy? XD).
Aside from the gender switch, the personalities are similar, Zero being tsundere like whoa and Kaname being totally uke to Yuuki and super clingy. XD

I haven't written it yet due to lack of time & the fact I don't have yet a clear idea of where the plot would go. (Aside from straight into smut. XD *lol*)


*hopes you enjoy the pic and aren't too weirded out by it* XD ♥

VK 53 in English is here~! :D

Aug. 22nd, 2009 | 11:05 pm
location: *under the table making fangirly noises*
mood: EPIC, BABY~! EPIC, BABY~!
music: "Breath" by Breaking Benjamin (The Zero x Kaname moe skyrockets on this song. XD

 

Enjoy~!! ♥ :D



It's still today... XD; *lol*
*took a bit longer due to being busy at first,
then due to sleeping a bit and eating etc. :3



And, as a little just in case:
Please don't bash ANY of the characters or pairings. ^^;;;

I have to ask each time because people often forget that bashing is not a nice thing nor welcome. T_T
No one likes to read insults about their favorite character, so please remain polite in your discussion and please kindly respect the feelings of your fellow fans. ^_^/
(Opinions and disliking this or that character are one thing. Expressing it in a way that makes other people uncomfortable isn't a proper way to express one's opinions. ^^/)


It's however okay to say Kaito looks deliciously sick with his sexy immoral sideglances and his dubious idea of ethics. *LOL* XD XD
That's not bashing. XD *lol*

Kaito is a character that was introduced first in one of the VK novels (not the manga), and since the novels haven't been released out of Japan yet so far, I wrote a mini summary of the main points of the story with little Zero and Kaito form the novel 1, so that you get to know a bit what happened and all. ^^/
The manga chapter itself does a great job of introducing him anyway, but that way you'll also have the background story. :D


And without further ado, here's VK 53... :D

VK 53 scanlated in English this way. :D )



Please don't forget to buy your local official releases of the VK manga and anime! :D
(Watch out for bootlegs, the anime pirated DVDs are made with stolen subs as usuall, are of horrible quality, and are starting to pop up in so many places nowadays, it's horrible. T__T Please make sure to only buy the official DVDs and books, otherwise you're not supporting VK since the money goes to bootleggers instead of to the author etc. ^^;;;

It's important. D: Any series dies without support, and VK may be popular, but it's popular for a shojo manga series, which means not that much compared to big shonen manga blockbusters.



*hopes you enjoyed the chapter* ^__^/<333

Next Lala is September 24th~!<3

LaLa October issue - VK 53 soon~~!

Aug. 21st, 2009 | 11:31 am
mood: *LaLa craving* *LaLa craving*
music: Fangirly noises of anticipation. XD XD

 

LaLa magazine (VK 53) official release date: August 24th.

But it's already printed and shipping, even if officially it's not on sale until the 24th... (Depends on the places.)

Currently I'm going out in an attempt to get my fangirly-VK-loving-hands on it 3 days early. 8D
Wish me good luck? XD<3

More on that later, if all goes well and I return with the lovely magazine. 83



EDIT: GOTCHA~ /*0*/ I GOT IT~~!!

I didn't have the time to make a summary or anything yet (Edit: I ended up writing a summary anyway XD), but I can already tell you what's the result of the cosplay contest, which was long awaited. XD

If you remember, there was a contest where people would send in ideas of things they wanted the characters to cosplay as, and the winning idea would be drawn as color pages by Hino-sensei. (Examples given in the contest thingie were doctor, rockstar and so on.)

Well, the cosplay idea that won was "angels and demons", so Hino-sensei drew a two page spread pic with Kaname as a demon with Yuuki in his arms/leaning against his chest and Zero next to her both as fallen angels. (Complete with bloody bits of wings to indicate the fallen aspect.)

The text next to it says "which of you is the one that is falling?" [because of the falling angels/loss of wings], which I tend to think it implies which one is falling, as in Zero or Kaname, rather than either Zero or Yuuki despite them being portrayed as the fallen ones... unless they're implying Zero is falling for Kaname, which is highly unlikely, much as I'd ADORE if it was the case, hahaha~ *endlessly yaoi fangirl* XD


I was kinda disappointed because angels and demons is such a cliche theme that's been done over and over and I find it not as fun as vampire stuff, by far, so... :X There was potential for so many wonderful things with the cosplay thing, I'd hoped it would be more than just that.
(Even if I controlled my pervy fangirl self and didn't send in a paper asking for them to dess in bondage outfits for the cosplay image. 8D; *shot*)

Hino-sensei had mentioned that a lot of people had send papers asking for "a certain male character, crossdressing", and that she was amazed that "so many people wanted to see him dressed that way". XDD
She wouldn't reveal which it was, but the Japanese fandom theorizes that it's Kaname, which makes a lot of sense since we already saw Zero as a girl before (even if it wasn't truly Zero, since "Zeroko" was Ichiru's performance passing himself for a female Zero, but still it was utterly delightful as well as hilarious to see "Zero" that way. XD<333 *was happy for it both for the fun side and even more for the yaoi side* XD XD *lol*)

So yeah, we lost our precious chance to see Kaname in a dress in official artwork. *weeps* XD;;;


Still, the chapter itself is wonderfully full of tons of tidbits of moe as usual, even if it's an intermediate/moving-into-more-stuff chapter, in some ways.

And it confirms the VK novels, and brings in a character from the first novel, Kaito. ^^/
(I'll say more stuff about who he is and all from the novel when I post, later. :D)


Ah, I wasn't going to say more about chapter 53 yet, due to the epic lack of time I'm having at the moment, but... *couldn't resist letting you know* XD I wrote a short summary anyway. XD;; *lol*


Mini-summary of a few of the most important points of the chapter this way, click to see. ) 


I'll post the cosplay pic as a little teaser too, later when I have another moment. :D

VK53 will be ready for you to read in English sometime tomorrow, most likely~! :D ♥






Quick edit to toss in the first color pic of Sara ever! ^^/
It's the next chapter preview from this month's LaLa...!


The text beneath her says "what are the real intentions of the vampires and the hunters who came to attend the ball...?!"
In clear cliffhangery reference to possible bad intentions on both sides, from Kaito and maybe others on the hunter side perhaps, and from Sara and possibly others on the vampire side as well. (A recipe for trouble, no doubt. ^^; *hopes the Kurans & Zero will be fine, as well as the chairman and our other favorites* D:)

I'm amused, because a long time ago, I did a pic of her as fanart of her in volume 6, long before she showed up again in the story... and I'd gotten her colors right. XD *lol* Blue eyes and blond hair. X3
(The blond was more easy to guess, but the eyes could have been anything, so I'm amused and surprised that I'd guessed it right. :D)




EDIT: And as promised, here's a teaser... X3
The cosplay image of the trio, from the chapter cover!



Click the preview to see the full size. :D

It's the image that Hino-sensei drew for the theme submitted by the winner of the contest, who asked for "Angels and demons cosplay", and who (there was some more info elsewhere in LaLa about the submissions :D) asked for Kaname as a demon with his fallen angels, Yuuki and Zero...

Like I was saying, I feel that sort of theme is cliche and so overdone, so I'd been hoping for so much more than that from such a full-of-potential contest... ^^;; But oh well, Hino-sensei's art is still gorgeous despite the theme.

I must add though, as a threesome fan: MUCH MOE & FANGIRLING, from [skip those lines if you are horrified by porny innuenddo. XD;;;] the fact Yuuki is in Kaname's arms with her face as if she was, err, just getting back up from some interesting place, and her butt up right in front of Zero. Zero, who is also holding some sort of phallic shaped long spear made of vines in his hand! XD
Threesome action nao, anyone? 8D *is shot for uber pervy mind*

Not to mention Yuuki's clothes are practically transparent and pretty much torn. XD XD We readers are clearly interrupting a, err, interesting moment between the three. XD *is shot yet again* XD *lol*


*goes back to the pages cleaning* :3

I'm having this tragically dramatic dilemma where I'm really craving salty snack biscuits, but am torn between running to the convenience store or staying here cleaning the scans without biscuits. 8D;; *lol*




Unrelated little edit:

If any kind soul [who's over 18 and not grossed out by kinky fanfiction *lol* XD] is willing to write fanfiction with Kaname doing manicure on Yuuki's feet (and being all masochistic on his knees in front of her while Yuuki touches him with her feet and makes him completely undone XD<3), or, alternatively, fanfiction of Zero (seme) x Kaname (uke) having something quick, rough, and terribly unplanned for but also terribly good, in the short time between the just finished Hunters/Vampires meeting and the ball about to start.... 8DDDDDDD
Well, let's say I'd be absolutely DELIGHTED and all bouncy-happy. XD XD XD *pervy fangirl, and is also always looking forward to fanfiction based on the new chapter, pervy or not, each month* X3 It's a lot of fun~!

*adores Kaname being all uke, either to Zero or to Yuuki, and is currently all hyper at the manicure thing* XDD (I just wish there had been some more relevant ZxK fanservice in the chapter, since Zero x Kaname is my OTP, and so then it would have made my whole month... but I guess that I'll settle for the YxK manicure thing until next month. XD *lol*)

If anyone does feels like writing something like that and making a happy fangirl here VERY happy, the details are totally up to you, I just need Kaname to be uke. XD *lol* *adores Zero as the seme, and finds Yuuki seme on Kaname extremely hot too* X3 [The seme as in who is really in control: Yuuki doesn't necessarily has to grow extra body parts. XD *lol*]

*goes back to scanlating* XD


Another random edit:

Kaito, for whoever didn't see the novel 1 and wondered what he looks like:

(I kinda like his strange gaze. XD There's something about his eyes that looks... kind of odd, almost dirty, but in an interesting way. XD;; A pervy person recognizes another. 8D *LOL*
I imagine he'd look in his best element wearing leather and wielding a whip, in some dark dungeon interrogating a sexy pureblood... who'd then be rescued by a certain silver-haired hunter. 8D~~ *LOL* XD
Funny enough, Kaito was already scheduled to appear in my yaoi fic series since a long time ago, but seeing him now motivates me so much more to reach the parts with him soon. 8D *lol*






EDIT: It's ready for you to read~! :D

VK fanart - "The masks and the truth... "

Aug. 19th, 2009 | 10:17 pm
mood: productive productive
music: "Until the day I die" by Story of the year. (So much Zero x Kaname moe. XD<3)

 

And this is the other pic I mentioned~! :D

*is posting them separate to avoid burning out the eyes of people not into yaoi* XD *lol* That way you can see this pic without seeing the yaoi one, if you're underage or dislike yaoi. :D

Warning: Even though this pic is not 18+ like the one in the previous post, it's still a VERY dark pic. I'd say PG13, just in case. So click only if you don't mind angst or blood.
(Though if you mind those things and are a VK fan, it must be difficult. XD XD *lol*)

Bloody Rose x Zero fanart. (Warning: YAOI.)

Aug. 19th, 2009 | 07:10 pm
mood: *feeling sorta sleepy* *feeling sorta sleepy*
music: "Send Angels" -by... ^^; *can't remember the band*

 

Remember that hardcore yaoi pic I mentioned I'd post when I found a moment? ;D

Well, I finally found time to post, so here it is~!

Preview:



Warning:
YAOI, graphic. DO NOT click if you are underage or if you dislike yaoi.


It's not Bloody Rose as the gun, it's Bloody Rose in tentacles/vines form. ;D *lol*
So yep, it IS pretty graphic. XD;

Normally, my preference would be BY FAR Zero using the tentacles on Kaname (ultimate hotness possible 8D), with Kaname uke, of course, as you know me, but this particular pic was drawn as a gift for someone who is a big fan of Zero uke, so... this time it's Zero uke~! ;D

Bloody Rose x Zero fanart this way. WARNING: YAOI.  )

I have a different pic that was also finished recently, but I'll post it separately because it's not exactly yaoi (and the rating is far lower XD;), and if I post in the same post people who don't want to see the hardcore yaoi pic might end up seeing it when clicking, so it's best if I make two separate posts. ^^;

*hopes you enjoy the pic* :D ♥

We'll see, not sure yet, since it depends on what my Muses get an urge to do and all. XD; *eyes them bouncing from a pic to the other randomly* XD

COB update~! :D

Aug. 10th, 2009 | 06:21 am
mood: drained drained
music: "Dive right in" by Story of the Year

 

Sorry for the long delay, lovely people who've been following my Zero x Kaname fanfic series "Cradle of Blood"~! ^^//

It took a while since the previous chapter, and you've all been so lovely patient! Sorry for taking so long. ^^;

Chapter 19 of CoB is finally out~~! :D♥

Cradle of Blood - chapter 19: "Come closer my love..."



And the fic info etc.:
Cradle of Blood
AU. Ten years after the vampires lost the war, the world is ruled by the hunter supremacy and vampires are only kept alive to serve as pleasure slaves in brothels. Everyday is a nightmare for Kaname, until he meets a certain silver-haired hunter…
Pairing: Zero x Kaname and some Kaname x Zero.
Rated: M - Hurt/Comfort/Romance


Please do not click if you're underage, as the story is quite dark and has lemons from time to time. ^^/

If you're old enough and like angsty fics or hurt/comfort, well, I hope you'll enjoy it~! XD<3


There isn't that much action in this chapter, although a few various things happen in between the two angsting and struggling with whether it's okay to get so close to each other or not... :3
And all in all, slowly but surely it should all take us towards a bit of a roller coaster sooner or later. ;)

I have an urge to draw that moment of Kaname laying in bed in the dark, quietly daydreaming happily of what little pastries Zero might bring him next time. XD *lol* It was quite cute in my mind as I wrote. X3
Happy moments are so rare for him in the situation he's in in the fic, so such moments are precious sweet little things. X3

Also, this might be either disturbing or hilarious, but as I was proof-reading and doing the last little edits before posting the chapter, I was dead tired and throughout the whole scene with the licking and all... even though it's supposed to be a somewhat hot scene and Kaname is supposed to be extremely sexy even if he's so worried and all............. as I re-read it each and every time I tried to visualize the scene in my head, instead of Kaname all sexy straddling Zero and licking him all over in a timid but innately sensual manner, THIS is what would come to my mind each time. DDDDDDDDDDD:
I'm not sure if I should be shocked or utterly amused, but it's a uhm, certainly different image of Kaname. XD *rotfl*

You see how random my mind can be when tired and proof-reading. XD;;;

Now every time I see that kitten image, "Oh, it's Kaname :D<3"
XD;;;;

Some new VK fanarts I finished recently. :D

Aug. 8th, 2009 | 04:28 pm
mood: content content
music: Shinsoku Dolce - Kanon Wakeshima. :3

 
As I mentioned yesterday, I was drawing some new stuff, and, well, here it is. X3


First, the Kaname x Aidou pic I mentioned in my post yesterday. :D (Yeah, for once Kaname seme. XD *prefers him uke by far so usually draws him uke more often*)

Preview:

(They're just holding each other, nothing else going on yet, so it's safe for all ages to view. XD; *lol*)



The pic is a bit big, so click here if you want to see the full size. :D )



And now, a screentoned little Kaname pic, which I drew as gift art for the lovely Blackened Wing~ :D ♥



"Zero, it's scary if I'm all alone, come sleep next to me...? ;-;"


[Wildly AU due to Zero's presence XD] Kaname-chama at age 5, feeling a little lonely and hoping maybe a loved one will pay him company while he falls asleep. :D

He's sleepy and tugging his blanket behind himself while rubbing his eyes and searching for Zero. XD

In the latest chapter of Blackened Wing's current wonderful fic (do not click if you're underage, as the rest of the fic is quite dark), there's a scene with a sleepy Kaname walking around holding his blanket. XD♥
In the fic he is adult and just doing that for different reasons, but the fic mentions that he looks like a sleepy five years old walking around cutely with his blankie... XD<33
So I couldn't resist drawing a cute sleepy little Kaname. XD

The version in the fic is adult and lives with Zero, but my version is AU since he's five and normally Kaname and Zero wouldn't have known each other at that age.
Just suspend disbelief and assume they're great friends since childhood or something. *is shot* XD





*hopes you'll enjoy the pics* :D ♥

Meme + wip preview.

Aug. 7th, 2009 | 10:45 pm
mood: odd odd
music: VK AMVs playlist

 

Normally, I spam quick links to previews of pics I'm drawing on my twitter, but it seems to be malfunctioning at the moment, so here's a quick little pic preview post. :D



The full version will be posted when I'm done coloring it. :D
It's Kaname x Aidou. (Yeah amazingly... I almost never draw Kaname seme because I mostly enjoy him uke, even with Aidou, but for once... XD; *lol*)


And unrelatedly, a meme...

If you found a lamp with a genie inside, what three wishes would you ask for? :D (Random crazy things possible. XD)

I'd probably ask for 1) some super power that allows me to be rich like whoa and be able to buy lovely merchandise etc. always XD; 2) super speed for drawing (as in, the power to pretty much pump out the pages as fast and well as I can imagine them. *0* I can't think of a super power more useful than that 8D;;;) and lastly, 3) the power to magically do ctrl+z when I'm drawing by hand. (Because erasing is not so perfect. XD;;; *lol*)

What would you wish for? XD
It doesn't has to be special powers/abilities, it could be epic things like a Kaname/Zero bed pillow, or your very own Zero/Kaname android, for err, totally innocent purposes, ahem, yeah, of coooouuurse... *mind quickly goes back to the gutter* 8DDDDD

I'd probably sacrifice the power of ctrl+z by hand for a Kaname android. *-*
Except that I'd probably better not. If he breaks, I'd be destroyed with sadness, so it's a dangerous wish. XD;;

Maybe the power to create those androids...! Then, it's perfect for everybody. *-*

*daydreams of a world filled with Kanames & Zeros*

*goes back to writing CoB* (Not sure when updating, but yeah... *writes* XD;)

VK 52 in English is here~!

Jul. 23rd, 2009 | 09:03 pm
mood: drained drained

 

Enjoy~!! ♥ :D



Finally here. :D


It took longer than usual, sorry. ^^; *still getting used to the new scanner and had to tweak stuff a lot, plus ended up also being pretty busy with other stuff and had chaos timing all together, so it took forever* ^^;



Please don't bash ANY of the characters or pairings. ^^;;;


In a moment of anger against characters you don't like much, you may even think the hatred and bile are justified, but they are NOT ;-;, so please remain respectful of the feelings of your fellow fans, and express your opinions in a courteous and polite manner. (And obviously, no obscenities or name calling, against characters or fellow fans or anything. D: It's just so unpleasant to see!)


There was some character bashing in the other entry with the summary and it saddens me. T_T The mild stuff I left, but the obscenities etc. had to go, of course.

Guys, love whatever character and whatever pairing you like, but DO NOT bash the other characters or pairings please. ^^;;;/
Have respect for the other fans who like them, and for yourself too, because if you love a certain pairing, you should have some faith in it instead of feeling like you need to flame the "enemy" pairing to feel better. D:
That's NOT how it's supposed to work. Fandom is to be enjoyed, love the series, love the characters you prefer, don't bring hatred into it. If you dislike a character that much, maybe you should just ignore it, or put down the book until you cool down. D:


Even if you're furious about your favorite pairing not being proeminent in a chapter, it still doesn't justifies any bashing behavior.
The constructive and adult way to react is to either enjoy whatever fandom activity with your favorite characters in a happy manner (fanfic etc for example) while waiting for the ones you like to be in the spotlight another time (believe me, my favorite OTP being Zero x Kaname, I have to constantly do that to enjoy them as a couple, since hoping for those two to end up together in the series is rather impossible, hahaha XD; So much of the fun has to be via fanfics etc.).
Or simply stay away for a bit until you cool down can express your opinions without bashing or flaming, please. D:

Whatever you do, don't attack fellow fans and don't bash. ^^/ Bashing isn't tolerated here, as it hurts feelings and lessens the enjoyment of the fandom. ^^;;
(I know that when I'm all bouncy/happy and full of moe, there's nothing like seeing character bashing to kill my mood right away and make me gloomy and uncreative instead. D: *has then to go recharge the moe before being able to draw etc.*)


Enjoy the chapter, don't bring hatred into it. ^^/



And now, for the chapter~! :D Click this way to read it. :D :D )


Right now I'm terribly dead to the world, so sorry if the commentary was more fangirly than funny this time, or if there were typos that would make your eyes liquefy. D: (Hence the importance to read the chapter first, so that you still have eyes to bask in Hino-sensei's beautiful art. XD XD *lol*)

*will take a look again later to try and fic it maybe if it's too mssy* XD;;; *needs sleep now*

Also, sorry to the people whose comments/PMs/mails/etc. I haven't replied to yet. ^^/ The order in which I reply to comments can sometimes be REALLY VERY random. XD;;; It depends on when I have a moment/am taking a break or something, and see something in my inbox. I might randomly reply out of order, but that doesn't means I'm ignoring you, just... that I'm horribly random. XD;;;;
Someomes I do forget something though, but uhm, I try to catch up to comments. XD;;

Same for PMs etc., though sometimes it takes a while because there's so many too. :X Sorry~!



:D *hopes you enjoyed the chapter*<333

Next Lala is August 24th~!<3

VK 52 summary. :D + various ramblings

Jul. 22nd, 2009 | 05:12 am
mood: tired tired

 

Hi everybody~ :D

I will hopefully be getting LaLa sometime soon (I'm hoping I'll be able to get it later today, so, still pretty early considering the official release date is friday).

So you can expect VK52 in English tomorrow if I can get LaLa later today. ^^/

Edit: Currently scanlating~!

EDIT: Posted~!!
^_^/




Click to read it~! :D






---
Summary:


Meanwhile, for those of you who NEED TO KNOW, and don't mind spoilers, I wrote a summary. :D

It's pretty detailed for a large part, and follows what happens as well as most of the gist of what they tell each other. ^^/
(Err, at least Zero, Kaname and Yuuki. My summary priority drops steadily as it gets farther from the main trio. 8D; *LOL*)

And yet, I pick Takuma as preview image. XD


Summary this way. Click to see. :D )




And as you know if you've followed my previous posts, China tends to get the magazine a bit earlier since it ships early and the the shops there put it for sale before the official date, so Chinese fans tend to be lucky. :)
As a result, often Chinese fans have posted small scans online so that others could read it early.

And yet, despite that kindness, they were regularly repaid with people stealing their scans, showing no respect (people never asking, claiming credit for themselves and so on), and it resulted in people getting SO fed up that many forums started limiting registrations etc, and more recently, people in various places weren't really motivated to even go and scan it this month because people always steals it. Which is why there wasn't the chapter little scans that people see online even a little bit earlier sometimes.

But one of the Chinese fans ended up still posting in her photobucket photos she took of the pages of her magazine, so if you want to read (AND PLEASE DO NOT STEAL HER THINGS O_o SERIOUSLY), you can find it here on her account.

PLEASE, be a respectful person. D: Don't repay with theft the one person who was willing to upload.


Okay, so, I'll have my LaLa as soon as possible when I can get out for a moment and buy the magazine too, and I'll be scanning and scanlating as I do each month, so you should have the chapter tomorrow in English, normally. ^^/ *hopes the new scanner will go through the pages all well* X3




And I had more thinks to say, but I’m running out of time and energy, so…. Later. XD
Not to mention I’ll ramble more on the chapter in the scanlation post anyway, soo… XD



Stay tuned, I'll be posting the scanlation in English probably tomorrow. :D


PLEASE don't forget to buy the books and support the series~! ^^//



---

Edit: Currently scanlating~! ^_^/ Expect the chapter in English to be posted by tomorrow~

And, to give some teasers you while you wait... XD


The teaser for the next chapter has Zero and Kaname sitting side-by-side, possibly at the meeting between the vampire & hunter leaderships~!<333333

X3 *has throes of yaoi fangirling at that image and how perfect they are next to each other*<333333333333


Btw, the next chapter will be a 40 pages long special and will have color pages. :D :D
It's also quite probable that it will cover THE meeting between hunters & vampires, though we don't know yet for sure. :D




I swear, it's like Zero is becoming Kaname, in the recent artwork. XD XD *lol* Now it's even the same poses. XD *surprised but amused*

One-shot fic, "Look Away". (Zero x Kaname + one-sided Aidou x Kaname.)

Jul. 19th, 2009 | 03:52 pm
mood: rushed rushed

 

Just a rushed post to quickly drop a linkie to my latest fanfic.

"Look Away"
One-shot. Kaname has a secret, hidden deep in an underground compound no one but his closest allies know about. A secret he can't let go of, no matter how self-destructive that need is.
Zero x Kaname, angsty bittersweet lemon & one-sided Aidou x Kaname.
Rated: M - Hurt/Comfort/Romance - Complete


It's got a lot of angst, but also bittersweet loving lemony activities. :D So don't click if you're under 18 or dislike yaoi, but otherwise, I hope you'll enjoy it~! :D<3

Sorry CoB is still late! D: *tweaks the chapter, has a scene that got too long*
I swear it's like the weeks fly by, and when I look, so much time has passed. ^^; I really want to go back to updating CoB weekly though, so hopefully I'll manage, sometime. :X

*hopes you'll enjoy the fic* :D♥

Meanwhile and unrelatedly (since I had time to make a post, I thought I might as well post it on same time XD), here's a new piccie I drew (digitally, since couldn't scan it XD). :D

mood: hungry hungry

 

Unrelatedly to the current problem of my scanner having died (for which I'm still taking commissions in the entry before this one, if you're interested in purchasing a pic and helping me solve the no-scanner problem~! :D ♥), I got a sudden urge to draw a quick Zero x Kaname pic with Zero protecting Kaname, and so...

...Have a piccie~! XD *lol*



Zero: "You will not touch THIS pureblood!! Not while I live!"


And by "touch", he means harm. I don't think even a furious Zero could stop us, the horde of fangirls, from groping Kaname. *rotfl*
And Zero, while we're at it. 8D
*can totally picture both vampires yelping in horror as the horde of fangirls advances on them/touches them* XD XD *LOL*


I watched some AMVs earlier and was fangirling Zero's hotness from the anime so hard that I actually hurt a muscle in my shoulder. XD;;;;; (Not badly or anything, it stopped hurting not long later. XD)
In any case, said hotness was still in my mind some time later as I went to take a break from stuff I was doing, and so I got a random urge to draw Zero in a protective pose with his arm between potential enemies and Kaname, who's safe behind him. :D

And of course, as I drew Zero, I just had to go and add a barely-standing-up Kaname, leaning on Zero for support and breathing with difficulty. 8D~~~


I wanted to go for a more serious look rather than the usual prettiness, too. X3 Hence the different feel of it.
If you like it, keep in mind you can commission a piccie in the previous entry, and it would help with the scanner issue on same time. XD; *lol*


I only had a moment to do this particular pic though, so it's a pretty rushed one just for fun and to quench the urge to draw that scene. XD
So yeah, ignore the quick messy lines and other issues? XD;; Like I said, it was a rushed thingie while taking a break. :D

Quick Luca pic. :D

Jul. 10th, 2009 | 05:59 pm
mood: rushed rushed

 
*drops by quickly, is in a rush* ^^;

I had an urge to draw Luca the other day, and so this pic was born. :)



Quick (and sadly really messy) pencil doodle + random CGing. XD;


Btw, some official info on her name:
It's Hino-sensei who said Luca's name is spelled that way (and not "Ruka"). ^^/
And she confirmed it in the fanbook too.
So yeah, sometimes I get people mentioning that they don't like her name spelled "Luca", but it's not my idea, it's the official spelling. XD XD;; *lol*
(Same for "Cain" instead of "Kain". It's supposed to be spelled "Akatsuki Cain", according to Hino-sensei.)


Although I don't go by the official one for Kaname's family name, as "Clan" is just too weird. Yay for "Kuran". ^^;

So yeah, if you dislike the official spelling, I suppose it can't hurt to spell it "Ruka", it's up to whatever you prefer in your own stuff. ;) *lol*
I'm just mentioning because I regularly have people going "Spell it Ruka! D:" which is funny since I never get anyone going "Spell it Clan! D:", but oh well. XD XD *lol*



I'm so horribly behind on replying to notes/mails/stuff everywhere. D:
Sorry! ^^;; *will catch up*

Super rare VK images Hino-sensei drew for limited edition prints! :D

Jul. 9th, 2009 | 08:57 am
mood: Whee~ Whee~

 
PREVIEW:



Oops, Aidou is in trouble... XD XD Again. *lol*


It's not something that always happens, but they did it twice so far, once with volume 9 and more recently with volume 10... It's a special event of sorts in which the publisher of VK will have a limited time thing with a single large store in Japan, or sometimes a few stores of a same big chain in a particular area, and there will be a limited edition print of Hino-sensei's artwork drawn especially for that occasion, and which you can get while supplies last if you are buying the first press of the latest VK volume at that shop having the event.
They've done it twice, as a celebration/promotional event for the release of the latest volume.

Needless to say, it's VERY limited, and it finishes VERY fast, to the point where even in Japan, there are violent bid wars for those prints in auctions, and scalpers and all, because it's so limited that often by the time people hear of it and get to the shop that's doing it, it's gone...

I'm one such victim who got to be ripped nicely in auctions for having her beloved Kaname print, hahaha. XD;; (Back on volume 9, as I found out about it after they had sold out).

Even more so, because I managed to snag both the Kaname print, and the even more limited print with Aidou, Cain and Kaname in a bonus mini-manga follow up to the fanbook which Hino-sensei did for the limited edition prints. *ω*/

That print was only available in a single shop for a limited time, and disappeared super fast as everybody rushed for it, of course.

However, VK fans of the whole world can benefit from my compulsive VK obsession now... ;D *lol*

Because naturally, I just HAD to have every single one of those limited prints. *-*/// *VK love*

...And naturally, I scanned everything for you, and even scanlated in English the mini-manga. :3

Enjoy~♥ XD

*random* + Aidou x Kaname piccie.

Jul. 7th, 2009 | 07:08 am
mood: amused amused

 

This was just a random post, but then I felt the post was so empty without a piccie, so... have one. XD; *lol*


Kaname: "So, what will you take first, Aidou? Dinner? Bath? Or perhaps......me?/////"
Aidou: "Kaname-sama!! I... I...!!"
*Aidou rushes to throw himself at Kaname, but passes out from a nosebleed before he can get there*

This is naturally all happening only inside Aidou's imagination, while Kaname, safely in his chambers, sneezes wondering who is talking about him. XD XD hahaha~! XD
(It's a joke with a cliche scenario in manga, the line Kaname is saying. XD)

I was going to draw Kaname & Ichijou cooking with Aidou looking scared of the foods, but then I remembered the drama CD in which Aidou starts imagining Kaname in an apron, whipping cream and all.......... XD (actually, if memory serves me well that was actually in the VK radio)
So I couldn't resist the urge to fanart Aidou x Kaname in response. XD *lol*


XD; *LOL*


And into the random funny thingie I meant to post originally: conversations between my husband and I are often like stuff straight out of comical VK fanfiction. XD *lol*) )


Unrelatedly, so sorry to all the lovely people waiting for comment replies etc. D: *is super late*

If you're not into yaoi, please proceed to the post before this one. XD; *lol*
I made separate posts for the yaoi pics and the non yaoi one. :D

So this post is for the yaoi fanarts I recently drew, in other words, DO NOT VIEW THIS POST IF YOU'RE UNDERAGE OR DISLIKE YAOI. ^^/
There's a post with innocent stuff just before this one. (Err, innocent, at least in the fact he's got clothes on. *LOL* 8D;;)

On the other hand, if you are over 18 (or whatever is the legal age where you live, in case it's higher than 18), and you like yaoi, then I hope you'll enjoy the piccies~ X3

mood: creative creative

 

If you follow my twitter, you saw the preview for this pic when I was still drawing & coloring it, and well, here's the final version of it. X3

It was a pic born of a sudden urge to draw Kaname looking VERY VERY uke. 8D; *lol*
(Mostly an excuse to have him wearing a guy's necktie tied as a ribbon instead of tied the traditional way. XD *LOL* *drew the whole pic just because of that urge* 8D;)




Full version and wallpapers under the cut. :D )


And here are wallpapers~ :D

1280x1024 (Normal) || 1440x900 (Wide screen)



There's a more hardcore variant of this pic post rape by Rido *is shot* XD;;, but I'll post it in a separate post to avoid burning out the eyes of the people who are not into yaoi and just want to see the innocent version. XD; *lol*

I'll be making a second post with various yaoi fanarts I was recently doodling too, so stay tuned, if you're into VK yaoi. :D
Edit:post made, hop onto it if you want to see the rest. X3 (Only if you don't mind yaoi and are not underage, of course. ^^/)

Yaoi - Takuma x Kaname fanart

Jun. 29th, 2009 | 12:49 am
location: Happily eating a slice of of my birthday cake. X3 Yum~<3
mood: happy happy

 

Yeah, it looks like Zero, but way too happy to be Zero. XD It's Takuma x Kaname.

Takuma is in a teasing mood and feels Kaname has been working on those papers for the vampire council for FAR too long. XD
Kaname, on the other hand, just wishes his friend would stop teasing him and go look for Shiki instead, or something like that. XD *lol*

Wip pic again, I'll finish it and color it sometime (you can see the pencil lines + the inked lines over them XD;):



It's cropped to only show their faces pretty much. XD;
Not that thaaat much is happening in the rest of the pic, but that way hopefully the non-yaoi fans don't get their eyes burned out if they pass by the page. XD; *lol*


I have too many WIP (work-in-progress) pics. XD;;

My Muses always get new urges for new pics, and I lack time to color all that at once, so that means many linearts waiting until I have a moment and can rush to color them. XD; *lol*

I draw relatively fast now, but still, the Muses always have more urges than I can keep up with. XD;

But it's so much fun to draw all them etc. *-*/




And some ramblings on yaoi fanfic ideas for them. X3

I find Takuma x Shiki adorable, but my yaoi attention span dies eventually when there's no Kaname uke, so I far prefer Takuma x Kaname, hahaha. XD;;

Although I ship them mostly as "friends with benefits", rather than as true lovers, since the way I like to ship it, Kaname belongs with Zero (Edit: and Yuuki 8D;; *momentarily forgot her* XD;;), and Takuma with Shiki & Rima. XD
(It's funny that both friends would end up in threesome relationships. 8D;)

I have this whole little background plot bunny thingie for such pictures, where Kaname was the love of Takuma's life, but the pureblood's love for Yuuki, and then later for Zero, made that he never noticed his best friend had more than just brotherly feelings for him... so for a while, there's angsty Takuma moments where the blond fakes that he's just playing around, when in truth he's putting up that happy face and teasing Kaname a lot and all just because it's the only way he has to do that stuff to him... (He doesn't wants to tell Kaname about his feelings because he's afraid that if Kaname knows he's actually in love with him, he'll behave differently, pushing him away due to not wanting to hurt his friends feelings by giving him fake hopes... while if the pureblood never knows Takuma is not just playing around, those fleeting moments cna go on a bit longer, at least until Kaname finally gets around to trying and getting closer to the ones he loves from afar...)

Eventually, they go to the academy, and Takuma is telling himself he must grow up already, and get out of his impossible unrequited love... That's when Shiki comes into his life, and Takuma does all he can to try and get over Kaname.

Ironically, he ends up having to choose in much more dramatic circumstances when Rido takes over Shiki, and Takuma is trying to protect him. D:
And then, there's the mess with Sara too. ^^;

It's not a fic I plan to write, it's more like random background ideas I have in mind when I draw some of those pics. :D
I think Takuma never quite gets over Kaname in it, but later on he is really in love for Shiki, and viewing Kaname more in a brotherly manner, kind of. At least, that along with bittersweet treasured feelings from the past. XD;


Of course, that's not how I view the canon VK. ^^;;//
Just thought I'd mention just in case. XD;; *lol*

In canon VK, the Takuma & Kaname relationship is of course just brotherly love between best friends. XD Something I fangirl a TON too. X3
*finds their relationship absolutely adorable, especially since it's something so precious and rare for Kaname, who really has no one else aside from in his quick visits to Yuuki, during all those dark years spend under Ichiou's power* :X

Although the idea of Takuma teasing Kaname in a yaoi manner is still irresistible even when I'm fangirling them as just best friends. XD XD;; *lol*
(After the way Takuma clung to Kaname hugging him in front of Aidou and all in volume 6, it's impossible to resist for yaoi fans, hahaha~ XD<3

Vampire Knight fanart - Cross Family Portrait

mood: creative creative
music: Silent Hill 1~4 OST (Am I the only person ever to find it uplifting? XD; *lol*)

 
This was just a doodle originally, but I ended up deciding to color it as well, so here it is. :)



Wallpaper versions:

1280 x 1024 || 1440 x 900
The pencil lines are horrid and you will be
blinded by it if you click the wallpaper links. XD;;



Kaien Cross and his children. :D
Race matters not. :D

ramblings about the meaning of the pic and coexistence ideals etc. this way. :D )

I'm a huge fan of the main trio, and ideally would love to see them end up together (they're my OT3 X3), so it is particularly painful when I see people bashing either side. T_T

At least Zero is lucky, very few people bash him, but Kaname gets so much hatred online in the western fandom, and in such an unfair manner. :(
A lot of people spread misinformation about him and act as if he's some kind of evil being, and lots of the younger fans who didn't read all of the manga or who didn't read in depth and missed stuff, end up believing and spread more hate. :-/
I see so many people bashing saying things that make it obvious they didn't even understand the characters before hating them, which is such a pity. ^^;;

In truth, both Zero and Kaname are lovely, and we should just love whatever character we want and enjoy the series without bashing anyone, because bashing and flaming accomplishes nothing other than hurting the feelings of the fans of the character being constantly trashed. ^^/

VK fanart(s). :D (One yaoi, one not-yaoi.)

Jun. 26th, 2009 | 05:54 pm
mood: *urge to draw* *urge to draw*
music: "Here we are" :D

 
Recent stuff I drew. :D

Yaoi pic:
Pairing: Takuma x Kaname.

It's just a kiss, so nothing hardcore, but it goes under the cut because there's some groping and I don't want to hurt the eyes of the non-yaoi-fans passing by. XD )



Not yaoi pic:

Ah, and I had another pic to post, which I finished some days ago and had been meaning to post but ended up forgetting for a bit and then ended up not having much time as I scanlated VK51 and all that. :D

This one isn't yaoi, but there's some vague/partial nudity in it, so if that bug you, I guess you might want to avoid? ^^; (You can mostly just see bare parts of legs and arms though, because bandages cover everything.)

It's one of my best pics in a while though, so if you don't mind, do come on to see. X3

Preview:



It's Kaname as the ancestor... though it's artistic-purpose nudity as a symbol of fragility etc., and not "sexy"-nudity.
Also, any parts needing covering are covered by bandages, so... It's up to you to skip or not. XD

The nudity is merely symbolic, for vulnerability/helplessness/fragility/etc., in this pic. ^^/

Under a cut just in case. :) )


And for the artists around, you might already know all this, but if you don't and are interested in making your own custom textures for your artwork, I made a little basic tutorial for it which you can find here, and which will hopefully be useful for you if you're starting on that. :D ♥

*had fun drawing random crazed little images for the tutorial* XD Like the assassination of the little tea bag. *lol*



:D *hopes you enjoy the pics and stuff* ♥

Vampire Knight chapter 51 in English. :D

Jun. 24th, 2009 | 10:27 am
mood: cheerful cheerful
music: VKG official soundtrack.<3

 

Enjoy~!! ♥ :D



Epic chapter is epic. :D




Click to read the chapter. :D :D )




Please don't forget~! ^^/ Buy the official release books etc., support the series you love~!

I know it costs money, but the books themselves and depending on where you live for shipping as well, but it's not much. D: Look at the price of a mere shirt in any shop, or of a sandwich etc, and you've quickly covered the price of a book.

And if you live in a place where it's a lot more expensive to import, there might be an official local release cheaper than importing, or maybe you can wait a bit and buy the books slower. :X

Also, please don't scan doujinshi, ;-; Every time someone steals a fanart or scan a doujin, a level E kills a kitten.
XD;; *lol* Not quite, but it hurts the fanartists feelings pretty badly, and sometimes it kills smaller doujin circles by making them leave the fandom etc. because they can't sell their stuff and feel robbed by people redistributing their stuff that way. :X

Doujinshi is not like manga, which is a true commercial product making lots of money etc.
Doujinshi is like fanart, and when the artist can pay for the printing costs, he/she's lucky. :X Especially in a fandom like VK with few doujinshi. :X

Already, with manga, which is a commercial product and all, you're not supposed to just read scans, you need to also buy the books to support the series, or it isn't right. ^^;;// (The scans I provide are merely a replacement for the magazine so that people in other countries can read the chapter while they wait for the books to be out.)

VK doujinshi is terribly rare as it is because so few people make it, so please don't sink the ship by scanning what little exists. ^^;;
Hunt for the doujinshis themselves on auctions and shops etc, and purchase them for your own for your collection (when you find them sold by decent people who don't charge obscene prices...), but please don't hurt the fanartists and the fandom by scanning doujinshi or downloading and distributing doujin scans. ^^//


VK is a lovely fandom, so I have the strong hope that by getting people to know about the issue, they'll understand and respect it. :D ♥ ♥ ♥

Vampire Knight Chapter 51 summary.

Jun. 20th, 2009 | 07:13 am
mood: *-* *-*
music: My Zero x Kaname yaoi inspirational playlist. XD;; *lol*

 



I was trying to see if I could get LaLa insanely early this month (yesterday...), but sadly it was not possible after all. :X
So I'll have it next week as normal. ^^/

Please just have a tiny bit more patience and you'll have VK chapter 51 in English and all as always. :DDDDDDD

In China it came out today (it ships a bit earlier from Japan and then shops there put it for sale when it arrives instead of on the official release date, which causes it to be out there a bit earlier than in Japan etc. often), they already have LaLa, so I got to read the chapter in a Chinese forum.

Due to how often people stole from this site and other sites before, I must remind, PLEASE DON'T STEAL THEIR SCANS. D: D: Seriously. -__-;;

If you are a member there and can log in, do see the scans there if you feel like, or otherwise, please simply wait a little bit longer until I can get my LaLa and scan it for you to read. ^^//
Taking their scans and reuploading on your own is not right. People have stolen from various forums so often that now there's GIANT watermarks etc. because people want to avoid the scan theft, and as a result, it's hard to read.
The person who scanned it paid for her LaLa and put in the effort to scan. Stealing her stuff would be disrespectful and ungrateful. So please don't. :X

As for us:

I'll probably have LaLa tuesday or wednesday at most. (Release date is officially the 24th, but I might be able to get it on the 23rd.)

So it's almost here for you to read as well. ;)


Until then, here's a summary/partial translation of the events of chapter 51. :D


It goes under this link to not spoil people passing by. :D Click if you want to read. )

As I mentioned, you'll have the scanlation as soon as I get my hands on my LaLa, which will be soon enough. :D So just wait a little longer, and until then, well, I hope you enjoy this summary. :D


Sorry for the constant threesome fangirling throughout the summary, and the occasional Zero x Kaname mention. 8D; It's inevitable, as the trio is my OT3, and Zero x Kaname my OTP. X3 *fangirls endlessly*


I'm glad I updated CoB (my fic series) the other day, because I'm so filled with urges to write little one-shots based on this chapter... 8DDDD *lol*

What sucks is, I'll be busy all week-end, so I'm not sure if there will be any ficcage. ;-;
But I draw WAAAY faster than I write, so there will be pics at some point. X33333




Edit: Scanlation posted. :D

location: In the land of I'm sick & my stomach hurts. XD;
mood: *random* *random*

 



Random. XD;

Neither of the two seems to mind. In fact, Kaname seems strangely fascinated. XD
Zero is probably the only one annoyed by the metamorphosis. 8D;
(And knowing how tsundere he is, he'll probably get all sulky if the two keep insisting that it's adorable and trying to pet his ears. XDD)


This pic came about because about a month ago or so, someone told me of people wondering whether Zero was albino or not because of the light colored hair. Of course he's not, but the mind image that automatically had came to my mind was...you know, those adorable albino bunnies, with white hair and red eyes? 8D;;; And how fluffy and cute they are?? *is violently shot* XD;;;

It's so unrelated to the original subject, but the idea of Zero with cute fluffy bunny ears wouldn't go away. XD;;

I meant to draw it waaay sooner, but I didn't have much time for a while and so only ended up drawing it so long later. XD;;


Speaking of crack plot bunnies..... the world would be fascinating if Haruka had stayed alive.
Because Rido specialized in metamorphosing his own body, but Haruka specialized in doing metamorphosis to others. (If you recall, he did it to one of Rido's minions to turn it into a monster controlled by him and send it back against Rido under his power.)

Can you imagine??

*post Academy times*
Yuuki: "Daddy~~! I love kittens and bunnies~! Give me some??"
Haruka: "But of course, my angel~!<33"

*Haruka gives Kaname kitty ears and Zero bunny ears, then shoves them towards Yuuki*

And because the Kurans are all weird in the head (XD in a lovely way... but really, remember Haruka & Juri cheering @ Kaname's masochistic revelation in the fanbook?), you can bet he'd have somehow sensed his daughter's yaoi streak and made it the otaku-friendly kitty & bunny years that are overly sensitive and all, so Yuuki would be petting them all the time, while poor Kaname and Zero twitch on the ground under the onslaught of sensation, all blushy etc.

Ahh, nothing like depraved plot bunnies to go with crack pics. XD;;;;;

Promotional VK pic. + twitter

Jun. 16th, 2009 | 08:08 am
mood: Uh. Uh.

 
For all people wondering what this pic is:



My twitter account is a nice place to get the latest news. However, it's less cool if you grab the stuff and then repost elsewhere without saying/linking where you found it. ^^;;;

Because from what I was told, people are all wondering what that pic above is... And well, this wouldn't be happening, if whoever reposted it had done so giving a link to my twitter, where the pic was originally posted. >XD;;

Apparently, one (or more?) people took the pic off my twitter account and reposted it around without saying where they found it, so other people were all confused wondering what it even was.
(Please at least credit/link your sources if you repost a scan/etc. :X That avoids everybody being confused once they see unknown pics wandering around.)


As for what it is:
It's a recent pic Hino-sensei drew for a limited thing in only some shops in Japan.
I posted it on twitter some days ago, explaining about it.

It displays a peaceful scene with the trio, where Kaname, Yuuki and Zero are hanging out together at a cafe. Kaname got the drinks, hence the playful putting-drink-on-head stuff going on. :3 (Light years away from the usual angst from the story itself. XD *wishes the three would just get in a threesome and be all happy like that* X3 ♥)

I own one of those limited prints, and was planning to post a bigger version/proper scan when I can scan it etc. ^^/

So just some more patience until I can get to doing it, and you'll be able to see the whole thing in full size. :)
It was going to be a surprise, but people taking it off my twitter, reposting elsewhere without link and confusing everybody kind of ruined the novelty. :-/ Eh.



And btw, while I'm mentioning twitter: My main VK info etc. posts are always here on my LJ, where I can make long posts.
However, when I just have a quick moment or am taking a break between stuff or whatever and don't have time to make a full LJ post, I'll often post tidbits of info, wip pics, news updates etc. on my twitter.
Later, the more relevant stuff ends up showing up on my LJ as well, though not as fast as there.

So if you keep an eye on both, you have the info fastest, but if you don't mind waiting for the proper posts, LJ is the way to go. :)
I also post a lot of random talk on twitter, so if you're there for the official news, you might want to zone out all the doujin etc. ramblings. 8D; *lol*

Two fic recommendations. :D (+ a wip piccie & bat ramblings XD)

Jun. 16th, 2009 | 12:27 am
location: Under a desk lamp way too hot. ;-;
mood: *fangirly* *fangirly*
music: Evans Blue, "Cold (But I'm still here)" (ZxK playlist XD XD<3)

 

Somewhere-there on FFnet has been writing an absolutely ADORABLE Zero x Kaname fic lately, "A Peculiarly Pureblood Problem". :D

It's Zero x Kaname, and it's absolutely adorable. X3

It's also M rated, so err, don't go read if you're underage. ^^;;; (It's not yet at the M rated part, although there were delicious mentions of things that were definitely M rated, so you don't want to click if you dislike yaoi or are underage. ^^;/

I've been reading the fic with delight lately, and since chapter 4 just came out, I thought I'd make a little post to recommend it~! :D

If you like Zero x Kaname, definitely go read it and leave a review. :D♥

(Plus yeah, bonus point for having Kaname-uke. 8D I absolutely adore Kaname uke, and am usually so sad because it's SO RARE. ;-; *wishes there were TONS more fics with Kaname as the uke*
I know Zero makes a lovely uke, but he also does make such a wonderful seme, especially for Kaname, so it's a pity that in most people's fics, it's so often Zero uke and Kaname seme. ;-; They can switch wonderfully to make life more fun! XD *hopes the population of fans of Zero seme & Kaname uke will grow* X333<33)



And since I'm posting about that lovely fic, there's another one by the same author, which is also absolutely WONDERFUL. :D

It's a series too, called Solitaire, about semi-AU events (it splits off from the manga around the Rido battle time), centered on Kaname, who falls ill after the battle.
It's mostly Angst, with some Hurt/Comfort, and it's PURE DELIGHT. *-*/ The characterization is a pleasure to read.

It doesn't has yaoi in it (at least none so far? XD), so maybe that's why not as many people have read it yet, but it deserves WAY more readers, so I felt like mentioning it. :D
You really should take a look, it's a delicious read.<3 (And leave a review~? XD<3)




And on the subject of Zero x Kaname from before, I leave you with a wip piccie of my take on chapter 30 of the manga. XD *lol*


*will color when there's time* :D

Yes, he's sitting straddled on Zero's lap. XD Hey, in the manga, Zero was in the ground and all, and we see Kaname immediatly above him... where do you think he might have been?? *LOL* XD
Okay, okay, probably just bending down above Zero, but hey, Hino-sensei didn't show what was going on below, so it's a possibility... *LOL* (At least, in my happy yaoi mind. XD XD)

--

100% unrelatedly (I must always end up rambling off topic 8D;), I was re-reading the Wikipedia page on vampire bats earlier, and this is so funny and cute:
Each [bat] needs a blood meal at least once every few days. If a bat fails to get adequate food during its foraging, it may contact another vampire bat in its colony to induce a food donation. The food exchange occurs mouth-to-mouth in an activity similar to kissing.

You must know, whenever I read about bats, I inevitably picture it with VK characters instead. It makes for hilarious wtf mind images 90% of the time, but every so often, something like the line above actually makes me fangirl happily. XD;;;;;;;; *rotfl*
(You of course can guess I was imagining Kaname & Zero kissing, not a bat feeding another. X33 *lol*)

I want a pet bat. Although my husband is horrified by the idea. 8D;;;

Random little fanart of Zero + Kaname + Yuuki

Jun. 13th, 2009 | 07:14 pm
mood: *snuggles on cushions* *snuggles on cushions*

 

My drawing Muses are evil and insist in going hyper whenever they see me sit down to write.

I'm posting this so the Muses will feel some closure and stop clamoring for me to color the pic now. XD;; (I'll color it another time. XD)





I have this painfully cute plot bunny in which the world is a lot more peaceful, Rido is not running around doing as much horrible things (well, not as much XD;), the hunters & vampires are at peace, and little Kaname & Yuuki meet and befriend little Zero.

They often cutely play together in the gardens of the Kuran manor, under the happy gaze of their parents of either side, watching from the nearby windows and being all happy at the successful coexistence of the future leaders of each side. XD
Except the parents have to intervene every so often due to Zero passing out every few hours whenever one or the other of the little purebloods gets hungry, snuggles up close to him and accidentally takes energy. XD XD (they're little kids, so no fangs yet. XD But they're used to cuddling up together and feeling all safe in each other's company, exchanging innocent kisses with each other and all, so accidentally taking from Zero too becomes a habit. 8D;)

Secretly, little Zero wants to become a vampire too, so that he isn't the only one different, but he keeps quiet about it usually ever since he brought up the subject during a visit to the Hunter Association and his parents made very horrified faces at him. XD XD (They may be at peace and accepting the Kurans near their kid for the sake of the peaceful future, but they're not too fond of the idea of little Zero wanting that. XD)

Ichiru isn't jealous or anything, he's too busy with his regular attempts to woo Shizuka, with whom he spends all his vacations. XD She tells him he's a few years too early and should try again later. XD


Hopefully, it's so painfully cute that no one will throw me tomatoes for screwing with the story so badly. 8D It would make an adorable AU. XD XD

Also, it may look that way to perverted eyes, but Zero is NOT touching Yuuki's chest. XDD Give them a few more years though and they'll make an awesome threes- *is shot* XD

Kaname is a bit older than Zero, but he's a small kid so it almost looks like Zero is the oldest of the three. 8D
(It's true about Kaname being small as a child, look in volume 6, he was standing next to Aidou, who was 4 when Kaname was 5, and yet, they were almost the same size! XD Little Kaname is little. *lol* Except that later he got a crazy growth spur way faster than the others. XD)
Nevermind that Zero was also small as a kid. XD *lol* (Remember in the manga Yuuki mentioning him being initially her size despite being an year older? XD XD)
Kaname and him might have been about the same-ish or almost size when very small, before Kaname hit his growth spur and looked like a teenager before his time. XD As we can see in this cover page on volume 3 of VK, the difference wasn't that big before they became older/until Kaname possibly hit puberty first due to being a vampire. XD


As for why they're cuddling up to Kaname, maybe it was Kaname's birthday or something. Or maybe it's because they both feel protective of him because he has bouts of headaches etc. due to the ancestor issues. (I said Rido wasn't doing as many bad things. 8D;; I guess he still did that one.
But it's okay, because instead of having to put up with it alone, little Kaname has Yuuki & Zero to support him, and little Zero is very protective and gentle. X3
He wants to become a great hunter when he grows up, so that he can hunt Kaname's "meanie uncle" down and make him pay for Kaname's headaches. XD XD)



If anyone feels like writing a fic for that AU, I'm totally drawing you a piccie. 8D *lol*

VK yaoi fanarts. :D

Jun. 12th, 2009 | 09:30 pm
location: Inside inkpot.
mood: recumbent recumbent
music: Epica - "Vengeance is mine". (*endless Zero x Kaname fangirling* 8D)

 

World, it's time for an infestation of VK yaoi fanart. \*-*/

I finished drawing some of those some time ago, but lack of time made that I'm posting it all in a batch with the one I finished today. :D :D *hopes you enjoy them*

WARNING: GRAPHIC YAOI.
Don't click the lj-cut or scroll down the post if you dislike it or if you are underage.


Also, the pics in this post are mostly of the more kinky nature. It's not a good-natured cuddly yaoi, it's more kinky/hardcore and in some cases implied non-con. ^^;
*saves fluffiness for another day* XD; *lol*

By going past this text to see the images, you acknowledge you know it's graphic etc, and won't be flaming about the yaoi or about the kinkyness of the pics. ^^;/
(Because seriously, if you dislike yaoi, don't view it. XD;; Wait for a post with innocent pics instead. ;D)

Also, do not click if the sight of yaoi with characters messes up your vision of them or of the series or anything. This post has Kaname and Zero as lovers, not enemies... So you want to stay away if you dislike yaoi. XD;

Enough warnings, hopefully.

Preview:



Characters/pairings:
Mostly Kaname and Takuma, but some of it is implied Zero x Kaname (consensual), and Sara x Takuma (non-con).
Warning: There's blood also. (From blood drinking, as well as from scrapes etc.)


There be naked Kaname piccies this way. XD )



There's some other pics I want to finish drawing and/or coloring, but I'm not sure if I'll have time this week-end. ^^/ It's a constant fight for any free moment, between the Muses that want me to draw and the ones that want me to write, and currently CoB has priority due to epically late. ^^;; So sorry for the huge delay!

♥♥♥
