Author's Notes: I started reading Vampire Knight recently. Don't get me wrong, the art is beautiful and the mangaka has that guilty pleasure/shojo addicting factor down pat, but these were some of the thoughts that was running through my head as I read it. I will probably add more on as it comes to me and any suggestions are welcome!
If Life was like the Vampire Knight manga…
It's ok to marry your brother/sister/niece/great great great great great granddaughter as long as you both are suitably hot.
In fact, you can get away with just about everything, murdering, cheating, lying, even assassinating your society's heads of state, as long as you have an impeccable pedigree and are really hot.
This is easy because just about everyone is pretty good looking. And has great fashion sense. After the vampires took over the world, they probably ate all the ugly people. And the Vampire Hunter Society probably has a special patrol devoted to dealing with fashion freaks. They asked Zero to join but he was too busy angsting. Which leads to…
The only drawback to being one of the pretty people is the ANGST. Everyone has it. Get used to it. Practice brooding.
Pretty much all celebrities are vampires. But we knew that already.
Private school uniforms all have a Gothic sensibility.
The best way to say "I love you" is to suck their blood.
The king of vampire society is an obsessive, depressive psychopath who's so in love with his own great great great great you get the point granddaughter that he murders anyone in his way and wants to lock her up in a great underground castle. But he's hot, and he's charming, and, you know, really scary when he's mad so everyone puts up with it.
The next head of the Vampire Hunters is an obsessive, depressive psychopath who's so in love with his foster sister and the possibility of his own death that he murders anyone in his way and wants to kill her for leaving him for the King. But he's hot, and he's got that sad/guilty/mad look down pat, and, you know, really scary when he's mad so everyone puts up with it.
Being one of the pretty people means you get some cool powers. Besides being filthy rich, having awesome fashion sense, and getting, literally, away with murder and incest, you can actually see through the bangs plastered over your eyes.
