KimKenta vampire hunter x vampire AU that I promised to post about

Kim is the hunter, Kenta is the vampire

Tony is the vampire overlord, and when he’s taken down, Kenta is captured by the X-Hunter team.

Babe and Pete left before they could be turned

In his youth, Kenta viewed it as a blessing to be turned by Tony

Way is also a vampire but he’s been in disguise as a human (insert worldbuilding here that makes this feasible)

Also Way got seemingly mortally wounded in the fight with Tony but Pete has been slowly nursing him back to life

Kenta agrees to help track down other vampires and is partnered up with Kim, who is also there to keep an eye on him.

Currently he feeds exclusively from blood bags (unless he’s specifically fighting someone and Kim gives him permission, but that’s further down the line)

I’m torn between him having always fed from blood bags because Tony didn’t think he deserved fresh blood, or Tony consistently forced him to feed from humans because I want to traumatize him with irredeemable guilt 🤔

Either way he does NOT want to eat people

This co-exists with the fact that Kim’s blood is the most intoxicating thing he’s ever smelled

At first, Kim treats Kenta with distrust but not with fear—he doesn’t think Kenta is good enough to get the jump on him, so he doesn’t see reason to be afraid. But he views his job as keeping Kenta in line, so he's not about to let Kenta fuck off by himself (and if they pull some death note "sharing a bed while handcuffed together" shit oh well)

He does slowly start to think well of Kenta as they get to know each other

One day, they're chasing down a vampire and split up to head the vampire off. But an innocent human gets caught up in the fight, and Kenta gets hurt trying to protect them, but he still can't keep them safe. The vampire escapes because Kenta stops to try and save the human—even though it means he's drowning in the smell of blood, trying his hardest to staunch the wound and to hold himself back from that feral instinct to feed.

By the time Kim finds him, Kenta is shaking and crying "I didn't- it wasn't me I swear, I didn't do it, I didn't do it, Kim, help me I can't-"

And Kim believes him because even though Kenta is covered in blood, it's obvious that he hasn't fed.

Kim has to pull Kenta's hands away ("no, no, I can still-" "Kenta. They're gone.") and when he guides him upright, Kenta sways and stumbles, and that’s when Kim realizes Kenta is wounded too—that he needs to feed in order to heal, and yet he still held himself back.

Kim tells Kenta to feed from him because they’re out in the middle of nowhere with no other option.

Kenta begs him “Please don’t make me, not from you.”

And Kim just laughs, “Is my blood really that bad?”

Kenta whines into his neck. “I’ll hurt you,” he keens.

Kim tugs at his hair, pulling Kenta’s head up so he can look him in the face, and he presses a thumb down against Kenta’s plush lower lip, making him open his mouth so Kim can brush against his fangs—“You really think you could hurt me?”—he circles his thumb against Kenta’s tongue, watching in fascination as Kenta whimpers and drools helplessly—“You think you can do anything I don’t want you to do?”

And when Kenta feeds from him, it’s not the vampire seducing the human—it’s the human using his blood to control his vampire.

Anyways those are just some of my thoughts please enjoy

And another couple of my thoughts after Vivia’s DLC

Spoilers for Vivia's DLC and Chapter 4

Looking at how Vivia behaves in the DLC, as well as looking back at his behavior and actions in the main game, I'm very touched by the fact that Vivia grows as a character throughout the story

He finds someone who cares about him and thanks to whom he decides to give life a chance. Gradually he finds what he wanted in the Nocturnal Detective Agency.

He gradually becomes attached to Yakou, and when he is on the verge of death, Vivia does everything he can to protect and save him.

And when he realizes that he cannot hide from the truth about Yakou’s actions and that he can no longer be saved, not immediately, but he decides to accept it and continue to live. He finally decides that he wants to live with his head held high and begins to recognize himself as a detective.

All this was already in the game, but thanks to the DLC, it all hits even harder and makes me feel like 😭😭😭😭

Last updated 3/6/2024 with Gaza Wound Care & We Feed Gaza. Wanted to focus on Palestinian-run grassroots initiatives that will actually reach Gazans on the ground, so all of these except eSIMs, PCRF, MAP are by Palestinians. Donating to international orgs is not ideal rn as aid is still being stopped at the border. Please focus on Palestinian-run initiatives on the ground in Gaza.

Remember, small donations really do add up. Any amount counts, even $1!

The manga industry, especially JUMP, needs to hurry up and do away with weekly scheduling for mangaka. There needs to better regulations put into place for their health and safety because this is pitiful. Two weeks - monthly updates should’ve already been the standard for the manga industry at this point. These money grabbers will only continue to put the lives of these artists at stake for the sake of capitalism unless some serious changes are implemented.
