Vampire Knight Games, Merchandise and Goodies
Lots of VK stuff to ramble about... :D
First off, I updated my Vampire Knight Radio Station Page with the latest episode. Episode 10 features Aido as host again. He's so fun and cute to listen to! :D I saw someone mention in a forum that that he apparently at some point in there mentions or admits to wearing a dress... LOL I have no idea about the context of that statement, but it doesn't actually surprise me because he was the only boy in a family of girls and it looked in the manga like he might have been the youngest child too, soo... ;)
It's fun also because at one point he actually speaks a line in English and I'm like: WHOO! I understood something he said!!!!! *is pathetic* ;)
Another fun thing I want to share is cool little Vampire Knight game you can play on the official site that I found out about from Sagakure.
Vampire Knight Fortune Telling Game
Basically you go to the page, click the red letters at the top, and they deal you 5 cards. You pick one, and it will have a character and a fortune on it, and the character says something. It's pretty fun. It will only give you a new game / new card every 24 hours.
I ought to worry, because both times I've done it I've gotten "Great Misfortune" first from Kaname, then from Yuki. LOL Although Sagakure told me that I should be glad because apparently what Kaname said when I got it translates to: "Don't worry, I'll protect you from it" So actually, I'm quite happy, despite the fact that I apparently have terrible luck. :D (LOL well I could have TOLD you that...)
You can read more about what the different cards say and stuff on her LJ HERE.
In other news, I'm very happy because I just spent a small, but worthwhile fortune on VK merchandise on ebay... *chuckles* They came in the mail today. Yes, I am going to inflict pictures and rambles about my aquisitions on all of you, because... well... there's no one else I know who would remotely care, so you get to share my joy. Lucky you. *sarcasm*
Check out my treasures...
Kaname and Zero Keychain:
Closeup:
Fullview:
I love how they have the whole opposing color thing going on, with Zero's background black like the day class uniforms and Kaname's white like the night class, but then their beads are opposite colors, with the white more matching Zero's silver hair and the black to Kaname's darker hair. It's totally pathetic that I sit there and think about things like that, but I do.
And these next two, I'm not sure what to call them, but I'm especially pleased with, despite the arm and the leg I paid ;D
Kaname Charm Set:
Zero Charm Set:
Of COURSE I had to get both sets! :) I adore them to death. I'm not actually sure what I'm supposed to do with them, but there's a chain, and the leather thing that is either a bracelet or a keychain kind of thing... LOL yes, I'm terribly out of touch, I know. But anyway, there's all these awesome little vampire knight / kaname and zero charms that I can hang on whatever I want now. :D
Only thing I don't like is the phonetical spelling of Kuran as Clan :P because Kuran is just so much cooler and that's a total pet-peeve of mine. But that's okay, because I tell myself it's just saying that I'm a member of Kaname's Clan... LOL like his fan club or his syndeo or something. :D
And the big reason I got both those sets... (although all the charms are awesome):
My boys... :D
Chibi Kaname and Zero are so cute! I have been wanting those two charms since I first saw them in a scan of a LaLa advertisement from one of the scanlation bonus pages months ago (possibly last year even). Now I have them and I am SO happy! :D I love the way the violet roses match Zero's eyes, and the red roses match Kaname's eyes.
Speaking of roses... I came across an AWESOME cleaned up version of the Sexy Kaname with Blue Roses picture from the LaLa Special Edition cover a few months ago. Some of you have probably seen this already, but it was new for me. It was done / fixed by cesarae.
Click on the pic to see the full view on deviant art where you can also download it as a wallpaper! (guess what's on my desktop right now...) :D In fact, I recommend checking out all of cesarae's art in her deviant art profile. She's done some really cool looking vector arts of the VK characters, including a totally grin inducing "iKaname" and "iZero" - spoofs on the iconic ipod advertisment look.
*drools and nosebleeds shamelessly over the Kaname pic for a while*

Love the merchandise you got. I was thinking of picking up a Zero charm set too but the price was a little high. :(
Btw, I've been following all your VK stories and loving them. Thank you so much for such wonderful stories and quick updates too!

*-*/ I almost picked up those little cell-phone straps (you hang them together to the thingie, and onto your cell-phone X3) of them back when they were on LaLa, but ended up not... Gah, they're so cute, I should have. D:
I also totally want the thingie with the two of them together.<3
I'm still looking for the Zero & Kaname set of pens I missed. XD;; Ahh, merchandise.<3
About the radio episode, yep, Aidou's sisters did put dresses on him as a child. XD XD
I figured that him growing up with all those older sisters, interesting stuff must have happened, but I didn't expect that, until that episode, hahahaha.
Also, I was amused at how he almost accidentally confessed twice that they were vampires, during the episode.
And Yuuki went and handed the recordings of the episodes to Kaname....
I was expecting something tragic to happen to Aidou, because clearly, when Kaname hears the thing about Aidou daydreaming of him in an apron beating whipped cream, in the other Aidou episode... Aidou is going to suffer, hahahahaha. XD D
By the end of the episode, Kaname did drop by, and Aidou was all "I'm going to die."
I find it lovely how Kaname's priorities are so well arranged: rather than being angry about his image being defiled, he was furious that Aidou had "soiled Yuuki's innocent ears" with the things he was saying. XD<333
I also loved in that episode how Aidou was getting all hyper with the idea of Kaname playing billiard! Because, of course, in my mind, if you say "billiard", the pose that automatically comes to my mind reaaally puts the hips and butt in value as the guy bends forward to hit the ball so... *rotfl* XD XD *is amused by Aidou imagining Kaname that way* XD
I must draw fanart sometime. XD
Speaking of which, I have Kaname sketch thingies to send you. XD XD *lol*

"I must draw fanart" of the billiard scene, I meant.
I normally already spam the world with fanart, so it makes no sense without that addition. XD; *lol*

The keychains are adorable - chibi Kaname and Zero really are cute! *wants to huggle them both*
Thank you so much for letting us peek at them since hubby would probably go on strike if I spend money on that *giggles*
And yes, you really ARE the certified VK goddess... *hugs*

Ha ha I have oficially cheated the fortune telling system. So, I tried this on my normal computer and got yuuki all three times (the same fortune mind you as well) then on the lap top just now and got Zero (same fortune three times as well) I wonder why that is....
Thanks for showing your awesome keychains. Wherever did you get ahold of them?

elflady-2001: Thanks! Yeah, I know what you mean, it was quite expensive. o_O Thank you! i'm so glad you've been enjoying the stories! :D
Sagakure: AH-HA! So *that's* what they are! LOL of course, I probably won't be making my cell phone that bulky, or letting them get trashed by bopping around in my purse, but at least now I know! heh... and shall happily wear them on bracelets instead anyway... ;)
Yeah, the keychain was a new item I think. I hadn't seen it around before. :)
LOL! I just knew it must be something to do with his family / sisters! hahaha fun! And oh man... *chuckles* he's so gonna die. Although that's cute, I like what Kaname chose to get upset over. ;)
Hmm... I always was fond of watching cute guys play pool for the same reason... ;D And yes, would totally love to see your fanart of that someday! ;)
Thanks so much for sharing!!
Yengirl: Yeah they are, aren't they? Yes... fortunately Ken doesn't much notice or care what I waste... er... spend my money on. Although, I'm still probably not about to tell him how much these little beauties cost... *snickers as she images the "what, are they GOLD PLATED?" response*
*hugs tightly*
crazyblueflamingo: Cool! Well probably the game logs the IP address of your computer, or puts something in your cache or something like that, so if you use a different computer it won't realize it's you again. You could possibly use online proxy servers to the same effect too... Yes, I am devious. ;)
Thanks! I got them on ebay.
karen: LOL sorry! *hugs* I know what you mean though, I SO wish they would sell this stuff over here so I could get more of it or get it at reasonable prices. I will definitely let you know if I see any places around here selling them.
For now though, your best bet would be to go look on ebay and do a search for Vampire Knight. I saw a bunch of the keychains on there for not too outrageous of prices (ranging between $9.99 - $15.00). The charm sets are riddiculously expensive, but you might want to check out some of the other stuff.
shinigamiami: Thanks so much for sending the link this way too! :D Yeah, FFN is dumb like that.

NiQky: Your best bet is ebay. That's where I got all those items. I don't know if those particular ones are on there right now, but the merchandise there is always changing, and they have a lot of VK stuff on there lately, as opposed to how hard it used to be to find things. So yay! :)
Good luck!
