#vhd book 6

[vivataurus]

I've finally finished the book in the series I was so scared of reading because someone wrote to me of how much of a dick D would act in it. After the last disastrous book, I was worried about reading another flop in the series. With that being said, here's my thoughts on Vampire Hunter D : Pilgrimage of the Sacred and the Profane with a shit ton of spoilers...

My fears were for nothing, since this is now one of my favorite books in the series I've read so far.

I love how each book paints a picture of the locations of places relevant to each story in their own preludes. Although hesitant to compliment the book in any way at first, I appreciated how short and sweet the introduction was. A little questionable with the bugs and pink petals, but nonetheless efficient in piquing my interest.

The first chapter was extremely enjoyable with the exchange between the best of the best on the Frontier including Granny Viper (the Frontier's greatest Finder), and the Bullow Brothers (the greatest warriors on the Outer Frontier). Their interaction perfectly captures how mind-boggling the whole scene was for the desert townspeople in the bar/brothel. Their heated argument and fiery prides were portrayed like a ticking time bomb, and just as things can't get any more shocking, fucking Vampire Hunter D shows up and everyone is floored.

Now I won't say that the person who warned me about the book was completely wrong, because D was indeed a bit of a grumpy pants in the beginning. To be honest, I couldn't blame him for it. He was sent to do a job by a questionable employer that randomly involved crossing this crazy ass desert that he had to find notes about from a dead guy! Meanwhile Granny Viper sinks her claws into him as soon as the Bullow Brothers refuse to help her and her "precious merchandise" across the desert. She literally pulled a Stewie from that episode of Family Guy where he goes "MOM. MOM. MOM. MOMMY. MOMMY." Her pestering was so bad, she literally just walks into his hotel room at night and triggers his dark Nobility aura that seeps into her very being. Dude literally said "no" "get out" "leave" so many times in not even 3 pages, and the lady would NOT take no for an answer. Then Bullow Bros who were acting fake as hell 'nicey-nice' to him at the bar were on his ass about crossing the desert with them after they pinned him for a 'biting incident'. It's like damn, can't a dude just exist without someone wanting him for something all the time??? I digress...

What the story really excelled in was characters and their interactions. Unlike the last book, I actually enjoyed all the characters that were written about. Everyone was interesting, down to the dead guy with the notebook in the middle of the desert! Viper's precious merchandise being one of The Hidden was interesting for someone who's delved into the world these books revolve around. You wonder what happens to those who get snatched up by the Nobility and never come back. And the whole time I fucking knew she was pregnant with a dhampir baby; I felt it in my bones as I was reading! It was so wholesome to have Lance the emaciated stranger turn out to be a genuinely good dude instead of some backstabber traitor, even though he had done so much in the past in his captivity with the mummies. Hell, even Clay Bullow and his hot-headed antics were enjoyable to read with his childish nature. In some strange way, although D never agreed to be part of any party, all of them came together and grew close with one another.

What the story lacked was explaining the main antagonist of the plot. Now after reading the end, it was meant to be that way, but as you're immersed in reading, you're kinda like "wtf that's it?" The desert they are traveling on is sentient, and is using people who travel on it as experiments to better understand people. Our party of main characters had been attacked by just about anything and everything,; including butterflies, undead mummy vandals, tornadoes, spider people, ...shit even a whole ass moving forest! And the final blow out with the heart of the desert ended in barely a page and a half...? Bruh.

When you get to last 20 pages of the book it makes sense why what you think is the 'big bad guy' and their last interaction is so short. Because in the end, there was an even bigger badder bad guy. You find out the Bullow Bros were hired to kill Vampire Hunter D by the same man who hired D in the first place! Him crossing the desert was just a ruse to have the bros kill him! I think D knew the whole time, but like damn! And when they get to their final destination of Barnabas, poor Tae the Hidden gets rejected by her remaining family so harshly! Literally her sister-in-law speaks for her brother and tells her to fuck off. And even after all that talk of "I just do my job and bounce" that Granny Viper talks about, she was so upset that Tae was rejected like that!

In the end, Barnabas was the true test for the whole desert-crossing party. Granny Viper is revealed to be a dhampir herself, and that's why she has hatred for their existence and why she wanted to kill Tae's baby so she doesn't have to face that kind of hardship of raising a dhampir. Then the Bullow brothers have to reluctantly face off against D after their employer kills Granny Viper and they hold a funeral for her. It was an emotional end, but ended in a heart-warming way regardless.

I loved how Tae is resolute in taking care of her baby and won't let anyone talk shit about it even if they're her family. I loved how they did a funeral for Granny Viper. I loved that D took care of Tae and sent her on her way to raising her new family. And I especially loved how D was able to genuinely smile at the end of this book.

[nosferatil]

I AM SO UPSETTY SPAGHETTI RN 😠‼️

None of the actual manga pages, just the ads in the back, BUT STILL. THE INTEGRITY OF THE BOOK HAS BEEN TAINTED!!

There was no such description on the page so i was under the impression that the LIKE NEW MANGAS were NOT ACTING THE PART OF SOME MIDDLE SCHOOL EMO KID !!!!

I started reading the novels of VHD and I was wondering if they are connected or stand-alone? I wanted to move directly from the first 3 books to volume 6 where D's twin appears, but I don't want to miss out on things!

hmmmMM i don’t think you will miss THE PLOT lol, more like some funny moments probably

btw 6 is Pilgrimage of the Sacred and the Profane and twin is in 10 Twin-Shadowed Knight c:

[winterscribe]

VHD SALT. All the SALT.

Warning: Mention of Canon Typical Violence (and this canon is Violent as Hell.)

Ok, so originally my idea was to continue trying to incorporate some of D’s canon backstory into my fic as Kikuchi reveals it. However, its now clear that... isn’t gonna work. 

Canon is badly written and contradictory leaving me confused and in desperate need of a reread to try and figure things out. At first I thought it was because I read the books out of order and decided to do a reread, but no. no it is that badly written and contradictory and Kikuchi needs to figure out that feeding us a handful of tidbits here and there (that, again, Contradict Each Other!) is not suspenseful and mysterious, it is in fact, annoying as hell.

Seriously. Like book 1 they mention a rumor the sacred ancestor fell for a human woman but book two Drac tells D he was conceived on a pile of corpses while his mother was fucked into a vegetative state... like... wtf. Unless that was supposed to be some twisted metaphor, but it wasn’t written like that. I don’t have the book in front of me, but I remember I reread that part a bunch of times over the years trying to figure out if it was literal or figurative. It could go either way I guess but that’s what I’m saying- Nothing is every stated out right, everything is hints and adding this throwaway line in book 3 to this throwaway line in book 17 to get a vague picture of what MIGHT have happened. 

It might make more sense if I could read it through in order in a few months.  Unfortunately canon is also depressing as hell, so I can only reread it when my mental heath doesn’t require all media I consume to have a happy ending at bare minimum. That sometimes means 6 solid months where I can’t touch anything VHD related except my own Happy AU

 Seriously, I’ve been stuck on chapter 1 of book 11 for over a year because Fuck you Kikuchi Baron Byron deserved better and I can’t get past his intro without getting depressed. Fuck. You. God that end gutted me. 

AND NOW, the more I hear about details from later books (I only got to... 18? 20 maybe, I’m not in front of my bookshelf atm) It just gets weirder and weirder. I mean... maybe Kikuchi has a logical explanation for why the being that created the whole universe can’t fix the fatal extinction level flaw of his master race he created??? But uh... looking at the first 20 books... I uh... don’t have much faith in his ability to both create and COHERENTLY EXPLAIN such a complex plot device in a way that won’t leave me staring at the page scratching my head in confusion. Like... dude. dude. If you’re gonna over complicate something ya gotta explain it in plain language, not exaggerated details and complicated metaphors. 

I suppose what this means is pass me the gasoline, I’mma bout to start a bonfire with 90% of canon.

Reasons why rabbit breeders say no to buyer inspections

Websites and books often suggest pet buyers ask to inspect the breeder’s breeding facilities. It is also popular among animal rights extremist groups to say a breeder must allow buyers to see where the rabbits are kept and if they are not allowed it must mean the breeder has “something to hide”.

The fact is there are good, valid reasons why breeders refuse to allow people into their rabbitries. The following article explains the reasons why a breeder will maintain a “closed” rabbitry. None of these have anything to do with providing inadequate care. Ironically in many cases, irresponsible breeders allow buyers to see where the animals are kept. There seems to be a disconnect in their minds, they really think conditions are fine when they aren’t. So the reverse seems true of what animal extremists recommend, those who should be hiding their conditions are more than willing to show them off.

Valid Reasons A Breeder Says NO to Buyer Inspections

1. A breeder does not want unruly children in the rabbitry.

Sure, nobody thinks their kids are a problem but many breeders have had bad experiences with buyers and their children disrupting the rabbitry. Rabbits can be easily spooked by strangers, and when the strangers run around the rabbitry screeching and poking fingers into cages and rabbits, well those conditions are less than ideal for the bunnies. We find this to be especially upsetting to our does that are pregnant or have new kits. The same is true of adults. The rabbits are very used to us coming into the barn and they are easily scared by strangers.

In addition to risking injury to the rabbits there are liability issues. Suppose a child gets injured in the rabbitry? What most people probably don’t know is that insurance companies do not cover rabbtries, they will not cover people who have buyers come onto their property to purchase a rabbit. Children out of control in a small rabbitry can fall, get cut or scratched, or even bitten.

2. Risk of Disease

Breeders have no control over where a buyer has been and what infectious agents they may be carrying on them. So to allow someone into the rabbitry puts every rabbit at risk. If a breeder brings rabbits to a buyer separate from the rabbitry they can better control and minimize disease risks. The US has had several outbreaks of VHD, a foreign animal disease that the USDA will kill every rabbit on the property if just one rabbit becomes infected. Due to VHD, breeders have been told they should keep a “closed” rabbitry and not allow visitors in.

3. Risk from animal rights activists.

The secret is out, animal rightists opposed to animal use do pretend to be pet buyers in order to get into breeding facilities. They can be working alone or for animal control in order to gain access and then lie about conditions so AC can obtain a search and seizure warrant. This is a very real threat as many animal control agencies are anti-breeder and do target breeders who are taking proper care of their animals. Or the activist may be working on their own and plan to come back at a later date and steal the breeder’s rabbits.

4. Avoid upsetting owners when they want a rabbit not for sale.

Many breeders report experiences where a buyer sees rabbits they want but they are not for sale. Perhaps there are younger babies not yet ready to leave or the breeder doesn’t know if they will be for sale. Sometimes a buyer falls in love with one of the breeders best show rabbits. In any case it makes it easier to show the buyer only those for sale vs. letting them into the rabbitry.

5. Risk of strangers

No matter how much correspondence or conversations a breeder has with someone every perspective buyer is a total stranger. Think about that, would you allow a stranger into your home to “inspect”? Besides privacy issues breeders face serious risks letting buyers into their homes or breeding facilities. The buyer my not actually be looking for a rabbit, they could be a thief, or worse. Most probably have heard the news report about the pregnant dog breeder who allowed a woman in she met at shows who ended up murdering the woman after cutting out and stealing her baby. With all the reports out there about bad people one should be able to understand why breeders are reluctant to allow people in. Think about it, would you be willing to let strangers into your home to look around?

6. Concerns about Town Ordinances

Some cities, towns, and counties have unfortunately come up with number limits not based on facts, logic, or common sense. A breeder may not allow visitors because they live in an area where the government has seen fit to remove the rights of breeders.

7. I’m a breeder not a petting zoo!

Sometimes “buyers” aren’t serious about getting a rabbit, they just want to use the breeder like a petting zoo. Raising rabbits requires a lot of time and work. In addition to the rabbits breeders are attending shows, dealing with other buyers, and of course we all have our own families and jobs. Rabbitries aren’t here to serve as petting zoos so keeping people out of the breeding facility helps prevent “window shoppers”.

What is the Wisconsin Divorce Process?

What steps are taken during the divorce process in Wisconsin?

If you are initiating the divorce, the divorce process in Wisconsin typically involves the steps listed  below:

Find a Reputable Divorce Attorney

Obtain a referral for a family law or divorce Ask for specific referrals to attorneys who are experienced and knowledgeable in divorce law.

Schedule an appointment with a divorce attorney. You may want to interview more than one attorney to determine which attorney will best meet your divorce needs.

Prepare questions and gather basic documents for your initial consultation (more about these documents later).

Meet with an attorney for an initial consultation.

When you decide to retain a particular attorney, you will pay a retainer to your attorney and sign a written retainer or legal services

Provide Requested Information to your Attorney

Provide any additional requested information and documents to your attorney. Take other actions, as advised by your attorney.

Your attorney will prepare a summons and petition for divorce. The petition will require your signature.

After discussion with your attorney, a determination will be made whether a temporary hearing is necessary in your case. A temporary hearing is a hearing before a family court commissioner to decide temporary issues until the divorce is finalized. Issues that may be addressed at the temporary hearing include child support, maintenance, placement, allocation of debt, and/or attorney fee contribution. If it is deter- mined that a temporary hearing is needed in  your case, your attorney will prepare the necessary documents to schedule the hearing. Those documents  will then be filed with the clerk of court in the county where your divorce is filed, along with the summons and petition for divorce.

After pleadings, formal written documents, have been filed and a temporary hearing date scheduled, the pleadings must be served on your spouse.

Your service options

There are different ways to accomplish service. Your attorney will discuss your service options with you. You have ninety days after the filing of the summons and petition to serve the pleadings on your spouse. One sixty-day service extension may be granted by the court. If either party receives public assistance, a copy of the summons and petition must also be served on the county child-support agency.

If you are the spouse served with divorce papers, the foregoing process will also apply to your situation. However, rather than filing a summons and petition for divorce, your attorney will prepare a response and counterclaim to the summons and petition, which is due twenty days after the service of the summons and petition. You may also request a temporary hearing if necessary in your case.

Financial information must be provided to your attorney in advance of any temporary hearing. Information to be provided includes, but is not limited to, W-2s, tax returns, recent payroll stubs, your budget, a listing of all assets and liabilities, life insurance, and inherited and gifted property.

Negotiations are generally conducted relative to the proposed terms of the temporary order on matters such as custody, placement, support, maintenance, payment of debts, and temporary possession of the family home. If you can reach a temporary agreement with your spouse, a stipulation setting forth the terms of your agreement will be drafted. If settlement cannot be reached on temporary issues, your attorney will likely prepare financial statements, maintenance and child-support calculations, and budgets for presentation at the temporary hearing.

Temporary hearing if no agreement is reached.

A temporary hearing is held if you and your spouse cannot reach agreement.

A temporary order is prepared by the family court commissioner, court, or one of the attorneys, approved as to form by the other attorney, and submitted to the court for filing.

If you have minor children, you and your spouse must attend a parent education class, develop a parenting plan (if custody or placement is in dispute), and participate in mediation. Generally, in Wisconsin the is- sues of custody and placement must be resolved be- fore the court will address financial issues.

Both parties will conduct discovery to obtain information regarding all relevant facts. Discovery is the obtaining of information from the other party which is necessary to settle or try a case. Discovery includes formal requests for information, as well as informal discovery, which is merely a request from one attorney to the other for documents and information.

Valuations of all assets will be obtained, including real estate, retirement accounts, vehicles, investments, and business valuations. Sometimes it is necessary to hire appraisers and/or experts.

Review facts, strategy and develop a proposal for settlement.

You will confer with your attorney to review facts, identify issues, and assess the strengths and weaknesses of your case. With the assistance of your attorney, you will review strategy and develop a proposal for settlement.

You and your spouse, with the support of your attorneys, will attempt to reach agreement through written proposals, mediation, settlement conferences, or other alternative dispute resolution.

If you and your spouse reach an agreement on all is- sues, one of the attorneys will prepare a marital settlement agreement, which is signed and approved by you and your spouse and your children’s guardian ad litem, if applicable. A guardian ad litem is an attorney appointed to represent the best interests of  your children if custody or placement is contested during the divorce.

The marital settlement agreement and updated financial disclosure statements are filed with the court.

The court holds a brief, final hearing called a default hearing. You and your spouse will testify that you understand and agree with the terms of the marital settlement agreement; state that the marriage is irretrievably broken; testify that your financial statement correctly identifies all income, assets, and liabilities; and provide the court with basic information about the marriage.

Judgement is entered and divorce is granted.

Judgment is entered, and divorce is granted. Each party is advised that he or she cannot remarry for a period of six months subsequent to the granting of the divorce.

Your attorney completes necessary orders and drafts documents to implement the terms of the divorce. These orders and documents will address transfer of real estate, retirement accounts, vehicles, implementation of child support, and more.

If your case is not resolved by a default divorce, your case will proceed to further litigation and potentially trial.

Additional discovery will probably be completed by the attorneys, including depositions, experts’ analyses, valuations, vocational rehabilitation examinations, and more.

At this stage, because your case is in a trial posture, you may be compelled to pay your attorney an additional retainer to fund the work needed to prepare for trial and trial itself. You will be charged for costs, such as any transcript fees, witness fees, service fees, and expert-witness

If agreement has been reached on some issues, but not all, one of the attorneys will prepare a partial marital settlement agreement on agreed All disputed issues are set for trial.

Work with your attorney to prepare your case for divorce.

You will work hand-in-hand with your attorney to prepare your case for divorce.

Your attorney prepares witnesses, drafts trial exhibits, conducts legal research on contested issues, drafts pretrial motions with supporting affidavits, prepares direct and cross-examination of witnesses, prepares  an opening statement, drafts subpoenas of witnesses, prepares a closing argument and suggestions to the court, and more.

Prior to trial, you will meet with your attorney on one or more occasions to prepare for trial and your trial testimony.

The court may order mediation or arbitration in an attempt to resolve all differences prior to your trial actually taking place. Alternative dispute resolution can take place at any time during the divorce process.

Either pre- or posttrial, the court may order each party to file a brief to address the law relative to disputed issues.

Trial is held, each party provides testimony and exhibits.

Trial is held. Each party provides testimony and exhibits setting forth his or her position relative to any disputed issues. Attorneys also generally make open- ing and closing statements. There are no jury trials in divorce actions in Wisconsin

The judge renders his or her decison.

One attorney, generally the petitioner’s attorney, prepares the findings of fact, conclusions of law, and judgment of divorce and submits it to the other attorney for approval as to form.

The findings of fact, conclusions of law, and judgment of divorce is then submitted to the court for its signature. This is the pleading that sets forth all of the terms of your divorce.

Your attorney completes necessary orders and documents to implement the terms of the divorce. These orders and documents cover transfers of real estate, retirement accounts, closing of credit cards, transfer of title, child support, maintenance payments, and more.

I have just finished reading the second book in the Vampire Hunter D series. Here are my thoughts on the book - freshly made!

Oh my god what a nightmare, it seemed as if nothing could go right. Lina was no Doris. I felt sorry for her at times, but as the story progressed I hated how she kept things from D and it was harder and harder to feel sorry for her.

No one was innocent and although the town seemed so much nicer and prettier than the first book's town, it was filled with nothing but the most degenerate, repulsive people. Literally everyone was awful, and D literally wasted so much energy and power and time over there.

The confusion between psychological and physical attacks was annoying. But in the end I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

I was repulsed by the amount of r*pe and harassment in this book as well as the creatures and lifeforms in it. Fucking sickening.
