[sifuus-strap]

imagine zeki and reth getting into a heated argument in the underground because reth can't wrap his head around why zeki would pay off his debt. and zeki is frustrated yelling that You are wearing reths pin! what kind of life can reth expect to offer You upside down with the cartel! that reth has to think about his future with You! that he's got to be somebody because You deserve somebody! dammit why can't he just accept the favor??

I edited the usernames and icons but made no changes to actual comments. Those were all written by other people and they happen to fit these character too well. For source google "Peel a pound cabbage soup meme"

vkm vol. 10 goodies

apparently, Hino added 11 new pages to volume 10, and all of them are zero/yuuki related.

chapter titles:

42: Dawn & Dusk

43: Suffering/Grieving Daughter (complete cover redraw for this one)

44: That Day

45: Happy Memories

46: You Were There

chapter 43 complete redraw (original on the left, new on the right):

the final chapter additions add three spreads to the final Zero and Yuuki scene. they remind me a bit of Night 46 in style, though they're not direct references:

it seems Hino didn't want to lose the original end-page of VKM 46, so she included it on the title page:

some curious changes Hino's made here. i'll be watching the finale chapters unfold with interest, as her choices between volume 10 and vkm 47 are quite peculiar.

curiouser and curiouser...

If you're able would you mind trying friendship/relationship headcanons for zeki? I love your writing and it sucks that no one does anything for this sleezy space cat. Thanks is advance!

I sure can!

(I don't care what anybody says, this sleazeball needs to be romanceable or else.)

Zeki . . .

- is a completely confident tomcat until he accidentally falls in love

- isn’t the type to get noticeably flustered, of course, considering his salesman lifestyle, but he does feel his heart beat thunderously when you’re around

- is initially ashamed for being attracted to you, as he knows a relationship could be used against him if he got into bad blood with the cartels he works with, and you are too lovely to be put in that sort of danger — alas, you make him weak. Agh, this is all your fault!

- starts treating you a little differently when you come into the shop to buy things, i.e. giving you absurd discounts, giving you affectionate names, etc.

(“Oh, pumpkin, take back your coin, the sundrop lilies have been reduced to just 11 gold.”

“11 gold?! That’s half off, since when do you do half off prices?”

“Since, ehm . . . now?”)

- is surprised to see you in the Black Market at first, as he doesn’t really associate you with his illegal activities yet

- later confides in you with exclusive, private information about his trade deals and debts he’s in

- appreciates the advice and reassurance you give on such matters, but also in general

- invites you over to his place from time to time for tea and chat; the invites increase as you both get closer

- actually shows a bit of bashfulness when you give him gifts; he’s never been given meaningful gifts from anyone in Kilima, and gift-giving is his favorite love language

- obviously gives you gifts as well, half of them being highly illegal flow-infused materials and treasures

- will often touch you with innocuous gestures, like holding your shoulder, caressing your cheek, brushing hair out of your eyes, etc.

- can sometimes hear your heartbeat if it’s beating hard; his 4 ears make him sensitive to frequencies like it

- asks if he can brush your hair after a while of being in a relationship; why? Because Grimalkins value fur grooming in close bonds, and your hair is the closest he can get to his tradition with your physiology

- melts into you and purrs loudly whenever you pet or brush him back

- additionally values snuggling as a Grimalkin; listen, the culture in his blood loves cuddling up with his partner! Partners are the only people they can be so close and intimate with, after all

- “laughs” flatly and unenthusiastically when you spout feline jokes, but still thinks your delivery is adorable

- is lowkey a wonderful cook, although he mainly sticks to a pescatarian diet and cooks as such

- secretly writes to his ma about you like a smitten boy who fell in love for the first time

- will absolutely not get up before he normally does in the morning; if you have go somewhere before dawn, you’ll have to listen to him dramatically complain and moan about how cold the bed is without you and how he’s going to die if you don’t come back to sleep with him

- can’t sleep in, but he'll make it up to you by making you breakfast; he'll leave it upon the nightstand on your side of the bed for you

- will always kiss you goodbye, no matter where he’s going or where you’re heading off to

あなたがいた森

Chapter 47 of VKM beautifully destroyed my heart.

Zero Kiryu was respected, cherished, and admired, by vampires and humans alike. He was true to his character until the end - selfless, kind, and a real Vampire Knight. His death had meaning.

Yuki's sincere anguish, astute resolve, and genuine love for Zero are so palpable that they flow off the pages seamlessly.

The additional pages Hino added to chapter 46 make everything come full circle for Zero and Yuki shippers. This is a tragic and sentimental end to a beautiful love story.

If you're a zeki shipper like me, please listen to "The Forest Where You Were" and read the lyrics. It truly captures the emotions of chapter 47, and Yuki and Zero overall.
