Vampire Knight pictures, DS, Interviews and Misc.
I fail at life lately. *sighs* It's been so busy the past few weeks. I've got a backlog of a million things I want to post about, so I'm going to try to get some of them in here now. :)
There have been some great Kaname x Zero fanservicy official art lately, which of course just makes me happy beyond belief. :D
This one is from the November issue of a magazine called Animage. It was scanned by the wonderful Sagakure.

*drools and nosebleeds*
Okay, I'm sorry, but I can't help but get deliciously incredible Kaname x Zero vibes off that picture. XD Kaname looks totally possessive there. His eyes just seem to radiate "Back off, he's mine." :) On one hand you could look it it as a kind of yummily dark / rough play kind of moment, or, my favorite way to view it - a possessively protective moment, in which Zero has been hurt by someone and Kaname has just pulled him close and is glaring at the other party with that "he's mine" look.
Yagari's inclusion in the picture too (in the full spread) is great. It actually makes me think of a certain upcoming event in Blood Moon... :D
There is another awesome pic from a game magazine called B's Log. It was posted by Sagakure and scanned by kaho_yukimura. The scan from the magazine is of Kaname and Zero sitting peacefully together outside on cushions with Kaname reading a book and Zero playing on a DS.
See it Here
*happy sigh* that's such a cute, comfortable pic of the two of them just hanging out together. Somehow it just seems completely right and natural that Kaname is reading and Zero's playing video games. XD
Speaking of video games... don't think I've ever posted anything about the upcoming Vampire Knight DS game. It was announced back in August and is due to come out in December. It's a love sim, where you try to woo your guy character of choice. :D
This is the official site for it, which is all in Japanese of course, but also has quite a yummy home page image:

Vampire Knight DS Game
I do not own a DS, I have never played on one before or was even really aware of what they looked like before (yes, I fail at gaming in general *sheepish grin* not for a lack of interest, but a lack of time). But now I shall probably have to buy one just so I can play the game... or talk my fiance into buying me one for Christmas... XD
Of course, if the game is all in Japanese, as I'm sure it probably is, I shall be completely lost unfortunately, but oh well, I'll do like I do on Japanese sites and just click on things and see what happens. *snort* I'll never win anybody that way I'm sure, but at least I can see how much I can confuse and tick them off... :X *imagines all the embaressingly akward and stupid situations she could probably get herself into*
UPDATE: 2/26/09
The Vampire Knight DS Game is out! Read more about it, including links to pictures and summaries of the Kaname and Zero paths here.
In other news, I recently found translations for some of the Night Class interview / CD spots that came out a while ago over on Valerie's Blog Soliloquised. She's got a lot of good VK stuff on there.
The CD spots were kind of like entrance interviews between Chairman Cross and several members of the Night Class (and Zero). The below links go to Valerie's site and her translations.
Night Class Interview - Kaname Kuran
Night Class Interview - Zero Kiriyu
Night Class Interview - Hanabusa Aido
Night Class Interview - Takuma Ichijo
Night Class Interview - Senri Shiki
While on the subject of the Vampire Knight Drama CDs, there's an awesome one that Sagakure told me about a while ago where the Chairman gets Kaname and Zero to try to pretend to like each other and be best friends for Yuki's sake. ROTFL.
I am almost certain she did a post about it... but I can't find it now. Or maybe we just talked about it via email... O.O I can't remember. Whoa... they say that the brain is the first thing to go... I think I'm already in "brain? what is brain?" mode. XP
Anyhow, I found another summary of it on Soliloquised, so I thought I'd share that link here too while I was sharing the others.
Kaname and Zero Drama CD Summary / Partial Translation
On the fan fiction front, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get the next chapter of Blood Moon done this weekend. Probably not, actually. Things have been so busy and my Muse has kind of gone into coffin-sleep mode as a result, leaving me struggling for inspiration. But don't worry, I'm prodding her with a sharp stick and hopefully, if she doesn't get ticked and eat me first, she'll wake up and get her butt in gear. ;)
I have started another short Takuma and Shiki story that I may start posting soon as well too... *continues to prod her muse who opens one eye and glares at her in irritation* ooh... the eyes are red... that's um... *gulp* hopefully a good sign... ;)

Hey!! I'm making a mess. This morning, at work, I thought that your last post on yout blog (the pictures you posted this weekend, as well the announce of a new Takuma-Shiki fic) had been removed 'cause I didn't found it, but this evening I can. I'm going mad, it seems. Anyway, I'm going to retype my comment.
PLease, please write the new fic Takuma-Shiki.I'm not tired yet of good KanamexZero fics, but I'm recently seeing the possibilities of other couples, like KainxRuka and TakumaxShiki.
About the last one, I imagine Takuma as the sweet and virginal one, and Shiki as someone more dark and experienced in...eh...all fields. Maybe tortured because of some twisted and kinky relationship with his mother. Yes, they definitly have a lot of angsty possibilities but I have the feeling they fit.
Umm...Maybe you could write a little long story instead of a short one? *smiles innocently*. Specially if you're going to finish Blood Moon soon.
Oh, dear, I like your red eyed muse *giggle*. But beware of it, if you push it too much...seems that it bites!!!!

LOL that's weird that it was hiding the post from you. Bad blogger! LOL But thanks!! Yup, I'm definitely writing the Takuma-Shiki fic. :) And I must say, our perceptions of them match quite closely... ;)
LOL well I always mean to write short stories and they often end up not-so-short, so we'll see! ;)
Yes, I should put up signs... "Beware of muse" *giggles*

Thanks for mentioning my site! :) I've been lurking around but I've never commented before. ^^;
Have you read the summary for Chapter 45 yet? So much seems to be happening!

It makes me wonder if the DS will ever be translated in English. I would bet there will be a lot of fan-made ones, but it wouldn't hurt to have an official one to be released.
Then again, not everyone in the world thinks Dating Sim Games are popular.

Yeah, I wonder too. Guess we'll have to wait and see. :)
