Some part 2 Yukis. Rambling about OG Yuki and Rewrite Yuki under the cut.
I’d planned to make her a tragic antagonist ever since I began writing the rewrite, due to the hatred of her character. However I realized I never really had a problem with the original Yuki, other than any time she had an opportunity to be a badass that’d instantly be negated. Later on I’d realized the OG Yuki Cross was in fact a victim that came into her own, who’d she’d never asked for anything but to be with her family and weird brother grandpa husband ew.
I aimed to make Yuki in the rewrite much more competent a character, and strictly regulated to Zero’s adoptive sister and Kaname’s final descent/granddaughter. With writing her she went to default happy character that turned evil because if brainwashing to a woman relegated to simply being a teacher by her adopted father and caretaker of her two adopted brothers, while also having her actual past kept from her at every moment. I constantly have “YUKI IS DEFINITELY OKAY” jokes when you know that’d very much be the opposite.
I actually have grown to really love writing her as the one much more mature sibling out of the Cross-Kiryu children, and it’s very clear this woman knows a lot more than everyone assumes. Plus the plot actually allows her to shank people with her scythe (renamed Artemisia).
While she loves her family deep down she aims to get an actual job and find her past no matter how much Kaname attempts to keep stuff from her. Which pisses her off. Eventually she’s stuck believes Zero murdered her own adoptive father and half a school when that was in fact Ichiru, and were leave part 1 at that.
I’d say in Part 2 and times between Ichiru brainwashed/groomed (non sexually Ichiru’s awful but even he’s disgusted by the idea of that) her into becoming reliant on him—by doing sets like holding the fact Kaname never told her anything above her head. Not just because of that but the fact he was capable of telling her say any time but didn’t, and cut off, killed or imprisoned anyone that could help Yuki. But there’s also an element of Yuki letting this happen.
Deep down she knows Ichiru is off. But for the first time in her life she gets illusions of control of her life and other things, and she’ll seize it. Even if it is a lie. And then there’s parts where it’s possible she’s even aware of what’s going on, and is spiting everyone by covertly goading on how they could have saved her.
Why’d she kill Zero in the end? She didn’t mean to. Cycle of revenge, tragic reoccurrence, all that. But in the end, because of that, Kaname breaks after witnessing someone he grew to love, Ichiru in some fashion wins because Zero dies knowing his own adoptive sister killed him, when all he wanted was her to confide in.
Even if she isn’t there anymore.
I wanted your touch to save me
a funny thing is if VKR ever had an English dub, technically, it could be canon because somehow, nearly every character is bilingual and speaks English in some form despite most of them being Japanese in some form.
in Kaname's case he's a polyglot because my guy is from 1100s England, and was a royal so he already knows Latin, French, and Middle English and then he travels to Japan on accident, knows both old and current Japanese, and when he speaks English he has no accent because he's spoken so many languages every single one cancels out the other so he sounds American
and the funniest thing is, that is actually feasible
tbh I’m glad he found a coping method other than murder
I mean Kaname x Zero is INCREDIBLY canon in my rewrite lol except Yuki is the big sister and it’s about two whole parts worth of slow burn + psychological thriller + coming of age + apocalyptic Christian thing + dying
genuinely pissing myself at the comments on LABY's new vk video
happy 3 oct 11!
