I finished watching Vampire Knight

Technically rewatching but I was really not paying attention the first time and it was years ago at this point. Did remember the incest correctly tho 💀 Was sort of hoping I imagined it

If anyone is curious about my thoughts, there aren’t really many especially since right now I’m sleepy but overall I have one main issue which is all I’m gonna talk about since it has a lot of supporting materials apparently.

I find it interesting how the anime establishes a very clear cycle of abuse. Yuki’s parents were siblings and since young she has been told to be the same way. In fact, the same thing was taught to Kaname since he brings this up with her. “We’ll be like mother and father”

Yet throughout the whole anime, I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. Expecting a scene where Kaname’s twisted view of himself and his peers and especially Yuki’s clashing perspective get brought up and resolved.

But the shoe doesn’t drop. The shoe keeps making sin waves or maybe the graph has an asymptote at ground level. And so now I’m just left wondering: why was Yuki’s first reaction to be grossed out and second reaction (Iirc when talking with Aido) to say that she’s lived for a long time as a human — seemingly to conclude that the way vampire society “does things” doesn’t resonate with her — if it’s not going to go somewhere?

The author just can’t seem to make up her mind on whether incest is right or not, or at the very least knows it’s not so has to try to reason it out and accidentally showing exactly why it’s not.

Why do I say that both roads lead to the same conclusion? Outside of the aforementioned pattern of incest in the vampire families, there’s also the fact that Kaname (and really all the actual main characters) view vampirism as some sick act. Zero is the most prominent voice supporting that idea but Kaname’s dialogue when clarifying Yuki’s past is all sorts of revealing. “What’s wrong with brother and sister lovers? It’s inhumane? We ARENT humane anyway. We’re not even human. We’re monsters!”

From our perspective as the audience, we know full well that all the vampires have rich inner lives burdened with trauma and pressure. It is incorrect to say they’re not human. So Kaname’s words are a direct contradiction of the reality we see. This should prove that those words are incorrect in their entirety. And imo, it shows that those words come from a place of self hatred and loathing. Something that, I hope I’m not wrong or downplaying, can come as result of incest — which yes the number one reason incest is bad is because of the psychological trauma. Make no mistake, there is nothing anyone can say to change my mind when I say Yuki and Kaname are victims.

It just sucks that the author/mangaka, from posts I’ve read this past hour talking about the ending, doesn’t seem to realize that.

Or maybe she does??? Because she very clearly has written the main character to have second doubts about the whole ordeal. Imo, only choosing to leave with Kaname because he is her family and he needs her. Zero and her dad can take care of themselves and of each other. On the other hand, Kaname truly has no one close enough because his closest friends cannot imagine being his friends .

So maybe I’m misinterpreting something, maybe it’s wishful thinking so that the series complies with my world view, but under better circumstances and less weight placed on her shoulders, Yuki would’ve chosen to stay at the academy and, frankly, Yuki would’ve chosen Zero. Why else would her sentence/question be finished/answered for her when her uncle says “yell out the name of the person you love”

All that said, I can’t help this nagging feeling that this wasn’t the intention at all. The author/mangaka set out to write a compelling story and just like any good teenage drama, the best way is indecision. I fear It wasn’t meant as a reprimand at all, instead a forbidden, “I want to but society” (get it?? joker colors?? Like the meme??)

And just to throw this in there, it’s weird how Yuki and Kaname’s parallels, Zero and Ichiro, behave. Like those two were also too close and reliant on each other for me not to believe that the author just likes this stuff. Especially ending it with Zero drinking Ichiro’s blood. This is gonna lead me down a whole rant about how it doesn’t even make sense with the plot so I’ll let it rest here.

It sucks too because Yuki’s own mother wants to remove her from this cycle of abuse, wants to give her a normal life and one can only assume a normal life implies one without incest. One where it doesn’t matter who she marries.

And now you start to notice these situations reflecting real stories and you notice the role eugenics plays.

But you know that’s not the intention bc apparently the manga continues on and Kaname becomes a terrible person?? The two have sex?? Yuki becomes pregnant???

But I guess at least 🙄 she and Zero somewhere end up together and the story still concludes that Kaname needed to live as a human too. It’s like a full circle moment expect IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE IMPACTFUL had they come to the realization that they already are human and that to heal they need to establish who they are on their own. Same for the hunter twins.

In conclusion, I’m choosing to headcanon this shit. Yuki is Kaien’s daughter and tho he’s not perfect either, he’s trying his best.

Avatar AU where instead of Zhao realizing Aang escaped from his stronghold in the Blue Spirit episode he thinks that Aang somehow turned himself into one of the half-frozen frogs and keeps it prisoner

My first zutara fanart! Made this after seeing a couple's outfits and immediately thinking of them. Consider it a modern-AU zutara! I especially love Katara's outfit (which is practically the reason this whole fanart was made lol). I had a lot of fun drawing Zuko's hair though haha.

Also, I'm still bad at giving descriptions, so sorry about that. 😣

This is when they started dating…

It's what you'd hope would happen but these idiots flirted endlessly whenever they met, proceeded not to date and when Sokka asks years later "Katara, what was that thing you had with Zuko about?" SHE REPLIES WITH "WHAT THING"
