How I feel about this character: Most of fandom is constantly exasperated with Yuuki. If you like Kaname, you hate her when she seems closest with Zero. If you like Zero, you hate her when she's closest to Kaname
But she genuinely cares about the people she loves, never rejected someone based on what they are, and is very compassionate. Which are the traits I enjoy about her
In canon I ship her with Zero. I like playing Kaname/Yuuki sometimes, but only if the fact that the relationship is unhealthy is made clear. Because that was never a healthy relationship
My non romantic ship would be Yuuki and Yori I suppose. Also her and Shiki (her cousin in canon). I wish they showed them interact more because they are family and they don't have much family outside of one another
I hate that people get angry because she didn't want to jump into a relationship with Zero. She never owed it to Zero to be in a relationship with him and people who get annoyed at her for not just getting over it and being with him because oh no poor Zero how dare she not relationship with him right away....!
THEN... She was scared about losing him because of their positions and because she didn't want to rock the boat of their relationship. It was SAFE with them being friends, because last time she was in a romantic relationship it went terrible and look what happened...
So while yeah... ideally I would have loved things to move fast, they are vampires, have lots of time, etc. Also they regularly shared blood which is quite intimate, and still hung out and talked and didn't avoid each other during all that time, so like....
If Zero didn't like it he could have left. And Zero isn't blameless in anything. He's so ridiculously passive. If he wanted something more, he definitely should... have pursued things a bit
THAT SAID- One thing I wish had happened: I wish Yuuki was emotionally stronger. She does become stronger with time, but she regressed for so long which was really frustrating. And the author kept taking away her chances to make a significant difference at various points of time, which was also frustrating.
He might blush or not enjoy how something turned out. But it doesn't make him stop walking forward. He just learns from it, and finds different ways to improve
He's optimistic, believes in hard work, and is confident (sometimes ridiculously so) but I really think his steadfast and determined attitude helps the whole group in general
In canon I can't ship him with Hak though I don't mind playing that privately and the like. But realistically I couldn't see it happening unless an AU or something LOL. I don't really ship him with as many as I do Yuuki
I'll put Yona here though because while Kija crushes on her, he makes it clear he'd never act on that crush. He views her as his master, and raises her onto a pedestal. He loves and adores and cherishes her and I like that he can have those feelings for her
My unpopular opinion: . . . I'm not sure that I have one? Maybe? Unless people have heard me say something they disagree with. Generally though I don't think people hate/dislike Kija, even if some of the others might be their favorite
I would like his feelings for the princess to have a little more resolve maybe. And I would like for him to be able to do something and have a chapter or story arch focused more on him for once, instead of passing over him
Him and Yona are so similarWhich I am working on but I get distracted so much otl
