#looking back now tho i do like aido more

[asoulofatlantis]

So I have 3 cats and a Dog that lives with my parents and as an Animal lover the biggest crime for me was that they killed off the Cat and the Dog in this Village as well. As if killing Children wasn't bad enough already but Animals? That is crossing the line!

Someone who has worked with Class7 before is obviously not used to someone charging them for doing a good deed XD BTW... Kyle just showed up and no one really says anything about who he is or where he comes from. And honestly, with the new graphics, when I first played this game, I had to look twice and if he hadn't said he was fishing I still wouldn't have been sure who he was ^^' So I guess technically there is no knowledge from previous games needed here, as you do not really need to know who he is.

OR maybe he is a really dangerous and slightly deranged member of Almata...

OR its actually from a past loop...

Because the ones in Nord were basically the empty shells of Septerions and the one here was only a fancy Panzer Soldat with a dead human inside...

(This is so weird ^^' Like... right now that seems like some random boring small talk about statues and when you reach the end of Kai this suddenly was the Information that we had a loop before were poor Emilia died in that gruesome way and ended up a statue in Creil... standing there for what could have been an entire loop or even more.)

Two upset Kids searching for their missing cat... no one with a heart could say "no" to that.

It feels like we did that quest for nothing... because at the end, we couldn't really save the cat... but at least he lived long enough to die with the kids who truly loved him and were happy to have him back.

Damn... this is a depressing chapter for someone who has finished this game once before and... you know... knows things.

Dear Falcom, for the love of Aidos please do not let them die again now that the time got rewind! I know part of the fandom is a bunch of heartless assholes who wants the dead to stay dead (as if some of them are not still watching Dragonball to this day...) but there are also the people like me who wish for you to allow us to stop this tragedy from happening and save not just the Village and its people but also Dingo and if possible even Aida! Please?! Pretty please?! Agnes sacrifice can not be for nothing!

Seriously! Do not make that boy suffer again and let him have his cute little first crush on this girl until he becomes a cool Bracer! Please!

No you will not and it isn't your fault at all...

Damn it! I am having tears in my eyes. Why is this so darn painful? And we haven't even reached the hardest part of this chapter yet.

I guess at this point it doesn't matter much if we wouldn't know shit about him. But it gets more complicated when we get into the question about what his connection to Killika and Zin is and why they are not on super good terms anymore. But I can not remember if anyone will explain that real quick eventually...

Thats my girl! ♥

The last time I played this I never really understood why Aida was neither dead nor alive at this point. She must have been killed, otherwise the Genesis power should not have worked on her, but yet she remained in control of her brain and body for over 10 days. Like she was just... I don't know... in a coma but not fully dead, yet? But in the end, we still needed to kill her, which doesn't make any sense at all if she already had been dead and if she "just" been in a coma she would still be dead at this point, died of dehydration so there would also be no reason to kill her. IF the Genesis effected her even tho she was not dead... then the effect should have worn off by the time the device was deactivated and thus we should have been able to save Aida. So why? Why was she in this state and no one else?

Great. Even he doesn't get it...

So you are meaning to tell me that in a goupe of Jaegers no one but Aida had enough will to resist? Seriously? That would put shame on all Jeagers we ever met!

Yeah... thats definitely the only reason. No good heart involved here... XD

"Is it wrap o'clock yet?"

Helloooo I am back and breaking my 4 day silence. Im on the bus down to noosa at the moment and I thought this is a good time to catch up with y'all on my comings and goings of the last few days. Also side note, I think I actually got frostbite last night. In a bed. In a hostel. Urgh. I was even wearing my sleeping bag onsie, it was bloody freezing. I just feel sorry for those poor unprepared souls who dont have a sleeping bag onesie. Ha I bet you thought oz would be warm didnt you? But no. Its pretty much arctic here at the moment. Lol. So where have I been these last few days? Oo good question Karen. I have been ticking oz travelling boxes by visiting Fraser island. Yaaaaay. Fraser island is a classic oz east coast stop, somewhere everyone goes for normally three days (dats what I did) on an organised tour, ew organised tour. But no. It was awesome one of the best tours I've done after the San vlas islands and the Lombok to Flores boat trip off the top of my head. Mainly because it was so chilled and fun, the guide was easy, the schedule was loose and we were driving oursrlves. So I think Fraser is the largest sand island in the world and has silica sand similar to Whitehaven beach, soft and white ooooo. Ergo George exfoliated and brushed his teeth again, yessss. But I jump the gun. So what happened was that we were in a group of 24 and one guide. We had three 4x4s with the guide driving the first and us driving the other two beasts. Yes I achieved my ambition of driving these bad boys. The island is famous because there are no roads. The highway is a 70 mile stretch of beach. Yes lots of beach and off road driving, well cool. #CarTwo4Lyf Ok the first day was an early kick off as we cruised to the island and over the ferry from rainbow beach. Then was our first experience of sand driving. Niamh (pronounced nieve. Irish, I know. Weird...) Was up as we skidded thru the deep and soft sand. This was actually the hardest driving as it was high tide and the wheels were going everywhere, a baptism of fire you may call it, well done niamh for getting us thru it all. I was up next as we went inland and off roaded. The moment I'd been waiting for. It was mint. We drove over craters, the car tipped over and the people in the back lost feeling in their bums... Not in a weird way... It was really bumpy I swear. The car smashed it though with its outrageous tires and suspension. It was all I imagined. AND MORE. This was when we came to lake Mackenzie. A rain water lake. Clear, clean and refreshing. With white sands. Idyllic. Kim kardashian actually just put up a photo there if you follow her, I reckon she was following us. We chilled there and swam a bit. Also got some nice snaps obvs. An enduring theme of this trip was Frisbee. Weird. I know. But very fun. So in car 2 (my car, the best car) we had 3, thats 3 out of 8 ultimate Frisbee players slash coaches. What are the chances? Consequentially, there was a lot of Frisbee chat and playing. Hugh and niamh are coaches and Ed plays at a national level (I'll leave it up to you to decide who's cooler me and my quidditch or Ed and his Frisbee). So every beach we got to the disk came out too culminating in a match when we got back to rainbow beach. A competitive yet relaxed affair. A very good game. Edged by team hugh, with yours truely playing centre back, a Sergio Ramos esque performance if I say so myself. It was well fun and is making me think I should have played at Leeds. I dont know if my friends would have stuck by me if I played that and quidditch though, it was hard enough to convince them to hang out with me when just played quidditch. Harry Buxton I'm looking at you. Also this is going to be a very long post, sorry. But a lot happened and I'm in the swing of writing now. The next stop on this adventure was lunch at a nice little creek with a board walk over it. Lunch. Let's discuss lunch. It quickly became the most exciting part of each day. It was the same meal each day but was heavenly anyway. Wraps. Lots of wraps with lots of fillings. It was so intrinsic to our days and necessary to our happiness that most conversations returned the wraps. "Is it wrap o'clock yet?", " I wonder if we're gonna get a new filling for the wraps today?", "im bloody excited about the wraps", "do you reckon dingo would taste good in a wrap?". Yep, wraps are life. I had nine in three days. We even had wrap battles, lol. Who had the best looking wrap?, the fullest wrap? Or even whether beatroot had a place in the wrap, were common lunchtime conversations. Basically we love wraps. The excitement culminated on our final day when Victor, part of our Swedish contingent, caught a fish with his bare hands (very alpha male i know) and proclaimed it was the newest filling for someone's wrap, yummy. Now it was off to camp for a little session. But only after we stopped at a ship wreck, which was quite cool. Nothing to write home about tho. Oh wait a second I suppose I'm writing home about it now. Hmm. Awkward. Well maybe is was worth It after all. We returned to camp, threw the disk, shock and drank goon, shock. We had a BBQ dinner and had some fun. A little trip to the beach for some stargazing and off to bed in my three man tent that i shared with my onesie, very cute. Day 2. An early kick off. Too early. I got up, got breaky and went back to sleep. I held up the group a wee bit, the previous nights antics had taken their toll, lesson learnt. Our first stop today was the champagne poolls. Basically some giant rock pools you can swim in with the waves crashing in. Not overly exciting but nice to see and swim in, obvs, nonetheless. I Just chatted to aido, our guide for a bit. Very funny man. A Bush baby. With a very different upbringing/life to me. Apparently he started a bush fire once, but did he do a fire dance around it while listening to dnb? I think not. Therefore I win. We cruised on Towards a big cliff With a wee little walk up it. We trooped up in true military fashion to get some nice views of the beach and sea. It was also a good sea creature viewing spot, we saw dolphins, a shark and lots of whales. Ok so the whales. There was a lot of them. So many so that the excitement of seeing them ebbed away towards the end. They'd all be chilling and swimming north along the beach. Usually quite far out tho. However, some gave us a show as the jumped out of the water and wagged their tales. One joker even did a workout for us as he repeatedly smashed his tale against the water, it was immense. Having never seen a whale I have now seen enough for a lifetime in 2 short weeks. It was all very impressive. More on day 2. I believe our next stop, after the wraps, was a trip to eli creek nicknamed the lazy river. A fresh water river leading to the sea, so clean you could drink it. It was a funny experience as our whole squad trooped Down the knee high river with only six tubes. There were scrambles for tubes as three would share one. I had a relatively regal experience compared to the rest as I sat on top of hugh, like a king. Then I was then shunted on to jabba's tube which we shared in very cute fashion. There was splashing, pushing and banter. It was all pretty jokes. I then went a second time with Rudy. Much more chilled as we floated down in true chiler fashion. We then played more frisbee and headed home for a sunset walk, with a twist.... What was this twist you ask? The twist was that we missed the sunset cause aido sent us off too late. Great. Luckily there was another group on the sand dunes with boogie boards. Ah, phew, we didnt waste our time after all. We were up and down the dunes standing, sitting and lying on the board. Lots of fun. Bloody tiring tho running up that hill so much and I had sand everywhere. I'm still covered now. A good activity tho, no thanks to aido. We headed back, I showered finally and we boozed. With another twist actually as we had neighbours in the next camp site. North camp. They were 26 strong. 23 girls and 3 guys, lol. 2 of the guys had girlfriends... Lol. So some of them came to join us as we had better banter and music, shock. The entertainment for the night was the excitement of a night at the horse racing. It got intense, especially when Winston pipped Adolf at the final hurdle. Adrenaline was flowing. Before I begin on day 3 I just want to give a little ode to the dingo. I was thinking they could get their own piece but I can't really be bothered. This has taken me like 1.5 hours I reckon already. Dingos are cute. Quite ratty but really they're just chillers. They stroll down the beach chat to humans and hang around with alpha males. There are lots of them on Fraser and people seem to be scared of them, im really not sure why tho cause they're super cute and lovely. They'll always have a place in my heart. I love you dingos. Day 3 started in similar fashion to day two. I hadn't learnt my lesson. We packed up camp and left for wobbi lake (I think). This was a stagnant lake (it was smelly and green) at the bottom of some steep sand dunes. This was the scene for the crumbed sausage. Something I will never forget. And as I have videos of it, I will always remember. Myself victor and jabba submerged ourselves in the festering water. We Got out and ran to the top of the dunes 3 times so we could try entering the water in different ways. We began by charging down at full speed. Easy. The second was the time of the crumbed sausage as we rolled down the hill, wet. This meant the sand clung to us. Hence the crumbed sausage. It was weird. Quite fun but quite painful, disorientating and sandy. This is the other reason im still covered in sand. We went for a third entrance into the water. Forward rolls, like a block of cheese rolling down the hill. This was most successful. As I hurtled down the slope at pace with a relatively smooth entrance to the water. Afterwards my head hurt and I couldn't see straight for about two minutes. If you go to Fraser, join the crumbed sausage crew, you won't regret it. Lol. But that was it as we went for lunch and bombed back to rainbow beach ending a smashing three days. We had a bangin group, lots of fun people in all three cars but seriously #CarTwo4lyf. Now I'm gonna go back to learning all the words to mans not hot and the bog in the valley-o. Maybe I should rename this blog the "blog down in the valley-o" although I do quite like "holidaying" I'll think about it. Anyhow I'll write again in maybe 3 days. Dont miss me too much. All my love.

What I think and feel about the recent Vampire Knight Memories chapter

Before you start reading, be aware that I am, despite being a Zeki-shipper, very critical with that ship and what it does or doesn’t do. I am not one of these people who things Yuuki is the poor victim all the time. And tho I do criticize what Kaname did in the past, I am very well also aware of the good things he did and I personally think that Yuuki loves both men equally. If you don’t mind all that continue reading. If you one of those people who can not handle the truth, please stay away from this post and leave it in peace.

Let's start with one thing I absolutely hate: Which is the fact that some people think that if their ships do something wrong, it is alright, but if the ships other people like do the same thing wrong, then it is bad. People in the Vampire Knight fandom constantly do that. And it is shown extremely well in the situation we are in right now.

As a Zeki shipper, I do agree that Zekis relationship left the “healthy” department a long time ago. But I think the Yume shipper should not think their ship was any better. Among a lot of other things that were going wrong between both ships, I think you can say Zero losing control and biting Yuuki like a bloodthirsty almost level E is as wrong as Kaname using biting as a punishment after Yuuki did something wrong. And as for Yuuki, I think we should all agree that it is also very wrong of her to allow all that to happen, despite obviously being uncomfortable in both situations.

So, now that this is settled, let us try to answer the question, how our ships could get themselves into such unhealthy relationships. Now, look at their shattered and twisted minds. Kaname was the ancestor of an amazingly powerful Vampire family, who lost his first love when she became the “parent” for every weapon that was ever able to strike a vampire down. He had been revived by this sick weirdo (a descendant of his no less) who killed his infant nephew for his personal goals. Despite that, Kaname was raised by this very babys parents as if he was their own. Just imagine how he must have felt. And since his rebirth, the only light and happiness in his life was Yuukis. Almost everything he did, he did for her, cruel, stupid, monstrous things, but he did them for her. He wanted her, he needed her and he took her. When he realized he couldn’t keep her forever because she was not fully happy, he at first basically imprisoned her in a golden cage in his very own, selfish and cruel way and when he decided that he had to let her free, he left her alone, despite the fact that he made sure the time before, that she depended on him and needed him even more then he needed her. He wanted her to believe he became a real monster and left her in a place were she only could go back to the place were Zero was and where she would inevitably would end up fixing her problems with him. Kaname had his eyes everywhere and he was very well aware of the things going on around him, even if seemingly hidden feelings were involved. That is why he was always so good in playing his games. He knew what was going on in peoples minds and hearts. So he knew, if he would leave Yuuki behind after pretending that he killed Aidos father, she would go back to the school, were she would be ultimately be under Zeros protection, because once again Kaname knew that, despite what Zero said and pretend to feel, he would not let any harm come to Yuuki. And Kaname also knew Yuuki craved Zeros blood. With all that, it was only a matter of time for Zeki to become close again. Kanames ultimate goal was to leave Yuuki with Zero, after she was turned into a human again by him - which would have killed him. But it did not work out so well... did it? Anyway... Kaname did always show how far he would go for Yuuki. But he also showed that he was merciless in his tries to keep her as well as in his tries to push her away. And despite the fact that he had some good intentions, he always had cruel ways to reach his goals. That is the person he was. That is the person he became after his first life and this new one were as cruel as they can be.

Now, on to Zero. Born as a twin, something that should not happen in a hunter family and he was not born to any hunter family. His family was one of the best and strongest hunters and he, as well as Kaname, had a great role to fulfill. In the meantime, there was this whole ordeal with his sickly brother, that he loved so much and the fact that every experience Zero ever had with a Vampire was bad. Up to that point where a Vampire killed his family and made Zero himself become one of these monsters he always hated, while he was still a child. Zero, after that traumatic experience, hated himself to the core, because he knew that he one day would become a Vampire that would do such cruel things to other people. What saved him and his mind was Yuuki. Her loving and caring person made him get as attached to her as Kaname was. And he too was willing to do whatever it takes for Yuuki including giving himself up when the time would come, but fighting until then for her. Remember, Kaname allowed Zero to drink his blood for Yuukis sake, that must have been awful for both men, but they did it for her. Zero tried to leave multiple times, but was always stopped by Yuuki, despite what he did to her. She offered herself selflessly to him and that only made his devotion to her stronger. And his guilt bigger. His self hatred stronger. Zero could never have his revenger, he could not save his brother and ultimatively it even turned out that the very Yuuki he loved so much was one of that hated Vampires herself. A pureblood no less. And a Kuran on top of it. He had to let her go and despite everything, he thought she would be happy with Kaname. He WANTED her to be happy. So he let her go.

And Yuuki, hated herself as much as her mans did... still does, obviously. Yuukis past is a weird mixture of nightmares, happiness, love, hate and lies. The Vampire blood in heir veines almost destroyed her at one point. But despite being a loving and caring person, there was always one fear inside of Yuuki: Losing the people she loves and she was willing to do everything to stop that from happening. Yuuki has no self-respect at all. She became Zeros blood source, when her blood was the only way to still his hunger, when she was with Kaname, she allowed him to punish her for things she did not do wrong. When he ren away from her, trying to make her hate him with stupid decisions and actions, when he basically manipulated her life in a way that led her back to Zero, she still felt the need to be by his side. We’ve been there. We’ve seen her craving Zeros blood and attention, going as far as wanting to force him to drink her blood for egotistical reasons. We saw her kissing Zero after an romantic dance, we saw her imagining a world in which Kaname would be her big brother and Zero the senpai she had a crush on. And despite all that, she still could not let go of Kaname. Going as far as to erasing Zeros memories of her and in my eyes, she did that not to make it easier for him, but for herself. She was willing to sacrifice herself to give Kaname a better life... and what did he do? He threw his life away, trying to force her back into Zeros arms yet again. Leaving her with the course of being the new powerful Kuran pureblood leader, despite the fact that she was never meant to be in such a position. Now, with only her well cared for daughter and Zero left in her life, especially after losing her friends one after the other in the coming years after Kanames “death”, she became desperate to make sure to keep Zero at all cost. Her fear of losing the people she loved became true far too often already. And as we can see, once again, she threw herself away for that goal, allowing Zero to bite her like an idiot, just to make sure he will stay alive as long as possible.

All free of them have twisted and shattered minds, their love for each other is also twisted and cruel, their hate for themselves is big and self-destructive and nothing about any of them or their relationship with each other is healthy. Maybe they never were healthy. And it won’t get better.
