#anti matsuri

[watermelonsloth]

Why is there a whole anti-Matsuri community? How did anyone come to hate a filler character so much?

[eternalpassions]

yuuki is the most emotionally manipulative character in vampire knight.

Hello,

Honestly yea. She’s got me awed. People say Kaname is the manipulative one and the mastermind but it’s really Yuuki tbh. Like you know that song lyric that goes “You always know the way to wow me” That was basically Kaname to Yuuki by the end of the manga. The worst people in life as the kinds that emotionally manipulate you.

It’s just hard for most people to spot because she plays victim and innocent and she uses the fact that she’s incompetent to her advantage. Like I could really write an analysis on this but I don’t want to deal with “fans”. Like I have no problem with soft female characters. In fact, I love them as seen by Nana Komatsu in Nana. I think she’s what Yuuki tried to be but failed. She’s soft and makes many mistakes. She’s immature. But she admits when she messes up and she is genuine. She doesn’t try to emotionally manipulate people into feeling sorry for her. People can spot a manipulator from miles away. Like girl, you ain’t fooling anyone besides maybe Zero 😔😭

Like bro I feel bad for Ai she has to suffer from this woman’s immaturity and narcissism and manipulation. Like her father was driven to insanity and is in an ice coffin now. And she had to live seeing her father like that. She learn the vile way things went down when she was just a child. And her own mother emotionally manipulated her into feeling sorry for her and she gives up her own wants for her immature narcissistic mother who wants to have her cake and eat it too. Ai had to mature earlier because her mother never did. She had to take over her mother’s job because Yuuki was so incompetent at it. Like I got to a point where I thought Ai was hopeless but you have to take into all this into account.

Like sure, it’s not politically correct to call Yuuki a narcissist and manipulator but it doesn’t mean it’s not true. It sucks when families are broken when one of the parents are like this. And when that parent refuses to take accountability and keeps victimizing herself as seen by the new chapter. Which I can write a whole essay about cuz the gall of this woman to still be playing victim to a dead man. Like really bitch?? You’re trying to tell me you still don’t know why things turned out this way??She thinks she’s gonna emotionally manipulate a man in an iced coffin into responding to her manipulative drivel. Nope not gonna happen 😆

It’s also cuz I have a theory Hino is really Yuuki. Yuuki is her self insert so Hino is using Yuuki to manipulate the audience. But it generally doesn’t work cuz most people can spot a dumb bitch! It sucks that Hino is still at it lmao. Like gurl it’s getting embarrassing!

Thanks

Probably the best ayakashi triangle has ever been tbh. Legitimately very good episode from start to finish. Stakes, action, romance, there was everything in this one.

Shirogane earned a lot of respect from me today. Genuinely good dude who understandably became anti human after some of the shit he went thru. Suzu and Matsuri have restored a lot of his faith in humanity and he and Suzu make a perfect team. I mean, can you imagine the snarky little asshole Shirogane from earlier in the show being willing to die for a human?

Wow that ninja art from matsuri was sick. The OST during that scene combined with the voice acting gave me chills. Not something I’d expect from an Ayakashi Triangle episode.

Even if it’s just for a little while, being able to see Matsuri back in human form(not just a copy of him) was cool. Almost thought he’d go in for the kiss on Suzu. Even Souga senpai knew to give them some time alone because of how emotional that moment was for them.

So yesterday and today we get episodes with downbad waifus who are overly horny for the MC 😂 Suzu was ready to take off her clothes and go at it in the FOREST. Like jeez girl at least get some dinner first.

Hilarious ending with Matsuri transforming back into the female form, not before Suzu got a look at his goods which I’m sure she’ll be remembering for a long time.

Great ep.

Extreme Christian Nationalists just Criminalized Cosplay in Texas via /r/atheism

Extreme Christian Nationalists just Criminalized Cosplay in Texas

The new anti-drag bill (SB12 from the 88th session) is officially passed & it's descriptions of what constitutes a "sexual performance" includes this little gem in Section 3 Part 2:

Sure. Bill is SB12. It's in Section 3 Part 2 under definitions. I'll give the direct link to the bill below.

(ii) a male performer exhibiting as a female, or a female performer exhibiting as a male, who uses clothing, makeup, or other similar physical markers and who sings, lip syncs, dances, or otherwise performs before an audience

https://legiscan.com/TX/text/SB12/id/2771604 (link to the bill)

Effectively this means that ALL presentation as opposite your born sex is equivalent to a sexual act. A performance can be interpreted as anything designed for someone else to view. An "audience" of one is still a performance.

All conventions like Comicon or Anime Matsuri are inherently designed to be a place where participants "perform" in front of others.

Pride parade is another example of a place where it would be considered a "performance". Wonder how that will play out this year?

Additionally they have introduced a $5k bounty that can be pursued by any number of individuals.

I'm tired of this bullshit. Dead fucking tired of Christian Nationalism digging it's goddamn tentacles into everyone's lives.

Just had to vent. Fuck this shit.

For real? For fucking real??! Hino just HAS to, she must, she's obliged to play both sides. She just can't do something sincerely for one ship, she always MUST do immediately something for another one, otherwise "shippers of the other couple will start believing their ship isn't valid" or "she has a preference". Honestly, I just want her to show this damn preferance even if it's zeki, I don't fucking care anymore. All these efforts should've been put into the plot rather than tries to avoid picking a side.

If there were any crumbs of respect towards Hino in me they got erased today, forever.

[eternalpassions]

I find it unnatural that yuki got depressed right after she turned into a vampire. I can kinda understand if it had happened after she had been living some 1000 years and had gotten old inside and didn't wanna live thousand years more . It's like the thought of being a vampire depresses all the characters. But they can die whenever they choose to. They can even turn human. They even have superpowers and make slaves out of humans. All in all, I don't see where the curse of this vampire existence is in this plot. They got a better deal than humans. I don't understand what they are complaining about.

It’s unnatural but that whole being a vampire sucks was an addiction to the world building in arc 2 to foreshadow Kaname’s death. The end of arc 1 or beginning of arc 2 has Kaname saying “now I can spend eternity with my beloved girl in my arms” implying that he was looking forward to immortality with Yuuki and he had no issue being a vampire if he got to be with her forever.Even in arc 1 Yuuki used to contemplate being a vampire so she could be with Kaname

Then suddenly a panel happens with a 1 year time skip and it’s wahh being a vampire is a curse I want to die. I think the manga was supposed to end right there but Hino continued it to make profits and give zeki’s their happy ending

Inherited Amulet

Single Effect: Anti-Burn [100%] & Defense Up at Critical Health [30%] & Defense Up [22.5%]

Effect: Anti-Burn [100%] & Defense Up at Critical Health [40%] & Defense Up [30%]

TLDR: The Anti-Burn here makes this memoria very good, and it also is excellent as a defensive memoria-- however, there is another unlimited memoria that has a slightly better effect. But overall this is one worth keeping, regardless of the fact that it is event memoria. This memoria is exclusive to the Rumors in Disguise Gacha.

Review: This is one of the very few sources of Anti-Burn in the game, and one of the only two which are four-stars, making this a very good memoria regardless of what other effects that it gives. Burn will cause the character to lose 10% of their HP per round and take 80% more damage from its weak element, so you’ll want to be able to prevent it if possible.

Defense Up is a good effect and will increase the unit’s base defense by the percentage shown. It is typically better than the effect Defense Cut, as Defense Up will take effect before damage is taken into account, and Defense Cut takes place after. One thing to keep in mind is that both Defense Up and Damage Cut cap out at 100%, so it’s good to have a mixture of both effects if you’re planning on that character taking some hits. Additionally, having both Damage Cut and Defense Up is useful against fights against enemies with Defense Pierce or Ignore Damage Cut, as they rarely have both.

Defense Up At Critical Health will provide even more defense when a unit is at or under 20% of their health, making this effect ideal for tanks or defense-type characters who are more likely to survive when that low. 

This memoria is nearly identical to the memoria “The Power to Protect Who You Love” (link to be added), which have the same two effects (and percentages) for Defense Up and Defense Up at Critical Health. Where the two differ though is that “Inherited Amulet” has Anti-Burn, and “The Power to Protect Who You Love” (link to be added) has Damage Cut at 15% when max awakened. “Inherited Amulet” also has passive stats that are more ATK based, while the other memoria is more stacked for passive HP.

This makes “The Power to Protect Who You Love” (link to be added) better for tanking overall, as it’s less likely you’ll be encountering Burn, and the Damage Cut plus the extra HP will help keep your characters alive for longer. However, “Inherited Amulet” is still very good, and it’s possible you could equip both memoria at the same time for extra protection.

Overall, this is a good memoria to have as Anti-Burn can be difficult to get. The extra defense bonuses are the cherry on top.

Thank you so much to @raposarealm for supplying this screenshot!

What is the perfect ending for Kaname?

It’s not a secret for anyone that I love Yume, it's simply perfect, the love between them, the passion that overflows is wonderful, that why Yume is and always will be my favorite couple of all time..

It's true that zero and yuki had hundreds years together, they got a family and for sure they had many moments of happiness, but even so, zeki never had and never will the sense of eternity of Yume, that love that surpasses anything, where there is no time, space or person to interfere in their feelings that both feel in each of their "multiple" lives, where they seek each other and find nothing but moments, it is sad, but beautiful and deep at the same time, because that kind of love happens only once in a lifetime.

However, even though I love yume with all my soul, I love Kaname EVEN MORE, so here is where I asking myself: What is the perfect ending for Kaname?

I know that many want Yuki brought back to life so they can be together as it has to be, honestly I don't see this option too viable, and personally I don't like that much, it's like "I lived a thousand years with one and now some years with the other one" and everyone happy, but that's not how it works, from my point of view it would be something gross and pitiful even for a bad writer like Hino ... but i'm talking about me, but if I think about Kaname, surely for him it would be fine, since he has a new life in which he doesn't even remember her, but knows that he loved her deeply.

The other scenario is Kaname falling in love for someone else and may have a full life as human. This idea like me, because my Kaname that I love with madness, the one who has experienced the deepest loneliness deserves to be alone even in his life as human? NO, just NOT ... Kaname doesn’t deserve to have someone to wait for him at home, cook for him, to draw a smile on his face, someone to share his days and nights, to be spoiled for a girl, someone to dress (and undress ) for him? Nobody deserves it more !!!!  Kaname deserves to be happy for a fucking time in life, nobody can be happy living only from memories, Kaname knew that very well and that's why he asked Yuki to accept Zero's feelings.

But then.. if that happens… WHAT ABOUT YUME? Yume is not going in just one direction, going in two ways, if Yuki could get a family and have some happiness while remained loving Kaname, Kaname can't  do the same? Why expect that loyalty only from him? Because he is human and lives so much less, and Yuki being eternal couldn't stay alone forever? It's like the eternal discussion about yuki's smile... Only she deserved to have a smile on her face? I mean, Yuki didn't put a smile on Kaname's face either, I come back and repeat, it goes in two ways.

With this I don't mean that they didn't love each other, on the contrary, they loved each other so much and so deeply, but that love prevented them from being totally happy, I guess that's why many people see their love sick and obsessive, and it really is, so sickly that refuses to die, they have spent all their life trying to find each other, in the past or in the present, even in the future, which I do not doubt will happen, but as always, it will be for a moment.

So ...  YUME dies if Kaname falls in love with someone else? The answer is NO, just as it did not die when Yuki got a family with zero, and this is because the love between them will never die, they will always remember each other, always long for each other, and always love each other, but could never be together, at least not physically, because she is already part of him, ALL her heart, not half, not a part, ALL her heart kept it for 1000 years to give it to him and now he knows and feels it.

To say Yume dies by not being physically together is an insult, because Yume is not to be physically with the other, is to be with the other from the mind, the soul and heart, that’s why Yuki after 1000 years can say "to you whom I love so much" as if it were the first day.

 At this point,  it’s not that Yume dies because they "were happy" with somebody else, but in spite of that someone else, they will never stop loving each other, no matter if they are humans, vampires, dead or alive, in this lies their tragic love story, in which both Kaname and Yuki had to settle for a life of unfulfilled desires because they could never be together.
