Twincesty preview pic? XD *dodges rocks*
GAAAH!! This month was hellish. T____T No place nearby had LaLa for sale earlier than the actual release date (which was two days ago), I ran all over the place until I finally found it, and then died of juggling RL deadlines with finding time to scan etc. *is dying of tiredness* ^^;;
I could mention more of the epic incidents on the way to it, but I'd prefer for now to go to sleep for a bit instead, since I've been up for quite a long while. XD;;; *lol*
In any case, it's here~! X3 Enjoy~! ♥
AS USUAL, the commentary written in my post is shock-full of spoilers.
So please only read the commentary once you've read the chapter, in case I am randomly talking about later pages. ^^;;
And warning: the ramblings/commentary is sometimes full of crazy fangirling. ^^/ XD And full of random mentions of mind images of Zero doing one or the other of the Kurans XD (or both XD), so uhm, anyone underage or disliking yaoi/pervy fangirling etc., please look away during those lines so as to avoid having any innocent eyes catch on fire? XD;;; *lol*
Now with 50% more pervy Ichiru innuendo. *is shot* XD *lol*
This chapter didn't have a huge lot of stuff happening, but it was still epic, and the moment with Ichiru and Zero was SO WONDERFUL. *___________________*
The mention of Yuuki wanting to get a collar for Kaname to wear, and Kaname's happy reaction, rock so much too, but on a whole different and less innocent level, hahaha~ XD;; (Sure, it was wolf!Kaname, but you knooooow he wants the collar. XD *LOL*)
Although, after the preview pic, I'm not so sure Ichiru is 100% innocent when his lips are so close to Zero's. XD *drools*
The chapter has tidbits that link back to various previous chapters, so there should be plenty of notes with reminders of the previous chapters and little explanations etc. ^^/
If you hate notes, please ignore them. I've been told many times that they come in handy since the monthly rhythm of the series makes it tricky for everybody to remember what happened a while ago, especially with a series so full of little details that come back later. ^^/
And just in case: PLEASE, NO BASHING of any character/pairing/fellow fan/anything or anyone. ;0;
This isn't the place for it (ideally, fandom is never the place for bashing). ^^;
Fandom is for enjoyment and fun. :D Something relaxing we do on our free time, to enjoy fangirlable stuff with the series we like. ^-^/
There's no place for bashing/flaming/hatred/attacks in that sort of thing, otherwise there's no enjoyment for anyone. ^^;;;
So please, enjoy fandom peacefully. X3❤❤❤
More views of the wonderfully Zero x Kaname & Kaname x Zero mugs. XD<3
And onwards to the chapter itself:
*dehydrates from drooling SO MUCH at Zero in that page. 8DDD
And you can notice he's got two bouquets, one for Ichiru, and the other for the other tomb, which is presumably his parents.
Kaito is extremely hot in this chapter. *-* I'm torn between fangirling him for the presumably good intentions he definitely has (and the hotness is a nice bonus too XD), and being "DD:" at some of the things he tends to say of vampires. But then again, it must certainly be hard for him to be around Zero as a vampire, considering his past (brother who became a vampire and all), so perhaps it's no wonder some of that anger would show in some of his reactions. It would be extra difficult for someone like him to accept vampires. ^^;
^^;; Uhm, right in a single frame Kaito not only echoes the age-old "they're different from us" thing that people sadly so often toss at ones of another race than theirs, and he also somewhat subtly implies that vampires might not be quite "people" and that they may or may not have feelings, in the way he worded his "even if". XD;
While it's a sad way of seeing things for the racial coexistence in the series, the angst-loving fanfic-lover here is utterly delighted by the angst potential of hunters mindset vs. vampires in possible VK fanfiction. XD;
(As a whole because it creates this reminder of obstacles and things for the characters to overcome, which is generally needed for stories, and more directly also because seeing Kaito say this is extra interesting in my eyes because it confirms what I expected he might feel and is the type of thing he is supposed to say in a later chapter of my fic CoB. XD;;; *lol* (Kaito was scheduled to be in that fic since I read the novel, and him popping up in the manga was just a pleasant surprise that fuels so many more ideas. XD))
Although, as for my fangirling of the angst for fics coming from the hunter vs. vampires mindset, that's of course as long as said mindset sticks with random other hunters and not with Zero on the long run. ^^;; *really wants him to get over the racial hatred and accept himself so that he can
Angst in stories is good, but happy ends afterwards are better, so I really really hope Zero will find his way and get out of the hatred. T_T *clings to the manga and hopes the end isn't tragic*
Incidentally, the whole "you haven't been there since forever, have you?" thing is uhm... ^^; Hopefully he meant it as in, 'within the past year'?
Because I sort of expected Zero to go "No, I just buried my brother there only a year ago, you **#@*." ^^;;; (Well, except of course considering how Zero is he might not say insults to semi-family-like/sort-of-senpai figures... XD;)
I don't know, maybe it's just because of the huge Ichiru fan in me that I went "O__O OMG, you didn't just say that??!" when I saw Kaito poke at the subject of visiting graves. XD;
Incidentally, Kaito already didn't like Ichiru originally, so after the betrayal of the Kiryuu family and Ichiru running off in love with a pureblood, precisely the race and rank Kaito hates above all, I wonder with what eyes Kaito viewed Ichiru. *likes pondering about characters relationships and how they might evolve as the story goes*
^^;; There's quite a chance that he loathed him. ^^;
So perhaps, the reason why he said "you haven't been there since forever" is because he's thinking of the tombs of Zero's parents, and choosing not to focus on that of Ichiru...? It's just a theory, of course.
The relationship between Ichiru and Kaito, or at least what little of such a thing there was between them in the novel, was so strained that the first time I read the book I sort of expected Ichiru to attempt to murder Kaito in his sleep during the stay or something. XD;;; *lol*
Back to the things about visiting the graves, I think Kaito has good intentions, btw. I'm not saying he's trying to hurt Zero out of being mean or anything. It's just that his beliefs about vampires, and what he views as right or good... are not right for Zero. ^^;; Kaito is thinking Zero can cling to playing human forever and that it won't make him too vampire-like. It shocks Kaito to see Zero being vampire-like, as we see in the first page. It's what made him send him away for a few days, telling him to reconnect with the human side "so that he won't be making a vampire's face like that again"... like this is possible. ^^;;
But Kaito isn't a vampire, so he might not fully realize that Zero can't simply close his eyes and pretend nothing is happening. Zero spent 4 years suffering faking that he was still human, and the denial route obviously doesn't works.
What Zero needs is acceptance, from himself and others. Not trying to cling to anymore denial. D: He needs to get over the hatred, and denying the vampire race as a whole and himself as well is the last thing that would help. ^^;;
Sadly, because of their hunter background and beliefs, Yagari and especially Kaito can't really help much with that stuff, well-intentioned as they may be. ^^;
Kaien would technically have a much better chance to talk to Zero about the vampire race not being a bad thing, but, weeell, we know that Zero doesn't likes much hearing his lessons, especially on that subject, and considering how the chairman goes at it, it's understandable. XD;; The man is adorable but has the tact of a drunk elephant inside a porcelain museum. XD
Yuuki, Aidou stares at you and finds your random subjects of conversation weird. XD *lol*
Unrelatedly, I've gotten into watching Durarara lately and now I see Yuuki mention "Isaya" to Aidou and I imagine a sexy pureblood stomping on a cell-phone while looking all composed and pureblood-y... XD;;; *lol* *clash of fandoms* XD
Their names are different, but similar enough for me to have taken forever to type "Izaya" instead of "Isaya" when talking about the Durarara one. XD *lol*
About the graves: Normally in Japan people's remains are put in the family tomb, so either the cemetery in this chapter is indeed more western, or... Ichiru got kicked off the family tomb (by the association, maybe, if they had anything to do with the funeral? Especially if it's a hunter cemetery or something...) for the issue with Shizuka. ^^;
(Or maybe just because maybe Zero felt Ichiru wouldn't feel right in there with the parents and wanted to give him his own tomb.)
You can see that Zero's parents probably share a tomb together, since there's two headstones on a same tomb, and Zero put flowers there too. It's probably them, though there's no names. (I doubt it was Shizuka and her lover of course, since a) vampires don't bury, apparently, and b) Zero might perhaps prefer to chop off his hand than take flowers to Shizuka. XD;; *lol*
It's more likely that it's the parents rather than some random unrelated couple.)
Of course, maybe Ichiru didn't get kicked out at all, and it's just that this cemetery doesn't do the family-tombs thing. Western ones don't always do, I think?
It can be pretty complicated, because VK is not passed in a particular country nowadays, but in the distant future and without it being specified whether it's even the same world and whether the same countries and boundaries etc. apply.
(Although it would logically be influenced by Japanese views, up to a certain point, since the author is Japanese.)
Things might be different, just how they have "St Xocolatl Day" instead of "Valentines Day", they might have other customs.
In the old times, it was customary in Japan to have two tombs, one where you bury the body, and another, a pretty one, that the family would go to for special visits etc. (It may seem very odd for people not used to this custom. XD)
Nowadays, people are mostly cremated. Especially since there's not much terrain and tombs are crazy expensive. ^^; (Even the ones where you just put the deceased's ashes.)
But because VK is not in this world, and we don't know what customs Hino-sensei might have found cooler to use in the story, there's no way to know if Yuuki aspires to actually be buried somewhere one day, even if it's just ashes, or if what she wants is the feeling of having somehting grounding you to this world and your family, in the presence of a family tomb you can visit. (I guess the ancestral chamber doesn't counts since
In the bottom of the page, FLUFFY WOLFIE EARS. XD<3333
If she hugged and petted Kaname in his normal form even just a fraction as much as she does to his wolf form, he would probably be looking constantly as happy & gleeful as the wolf does in the frame where Yuuki is hugging him!! XD<333
I've often wondered if perhaps the way she is around Kaname is because she still has so much residual shyness and all from so many years of not daring to approach him. She gets so cuddly when it's the wolf form, which is perhaps less intimidating to her than the normal form. XD<3
Hence her still blushing each time after a whole year of them kissing etc., and being still so shy etc., which she isn't when it's the wolf form of him.
(Even though she had confirmed to Aidou before that she knows it's also Kaname, and she has called him Kaname later in this chapter, so it's not like she doesn't knows or anything. XD)
O_O So... is he implying there's really nothing left buried inside Ichiru's grave?
Or is he thinking of Zero's parents, in case Shizuka completely destroyed the bodies...?
Because really, that comment about the even when there's nothing buried inside the grave is such fuel to make us wonder about Ichiru.
Back in chapter 47 we saw Zero carrying Ichiru's body, but... maybe the whole, uhm, eating part was more to share the presence of Ichiru and didn't need Zero to consume that much of it, or maybe it could be done after the fighting??
I'd assumed that if he had eaten flesh as it implied then it was like when Ichiru ate Shizuka's flesh, where he ate some but not a lot was needed and someone looking at the body from afar wouldn't notice much amiss maybe...
This series is full of mysterious things and possibilities. XD But I love that it's so not like your average shojo in any way. It makes it so much more free to all possibilities. *hopes it won't be tragic though* ^^;
With this new hint of empty graves, I wonder if maybe Hino-sensei simply showed Ichiru's body back then to avoid outrage, since cannibalism is a heavy subject.
Unless maybe consuming the blood and flesh of Shizuka made that Ichiru's body decayed different from that of a normal human and so perhaps he exceptionally became ashes and didn't get a normal burial, hence the grave being empty...? *now going onto very disturbing realm of theories*
*tries to steer away from highly creepy ramblings* ^^;;
Although of course, there's also the possibility that maybe Kaito was just speaking in general and not necessarily hinting at any of the Kiryuu graves in particular. XD (But that seems rather unlikely since it would make no sense to bring up the idea of an empty grave in that situation, otherwise... especially considering the focus on Ichiru in this chapter...
I really think the most likely theory is that we only got to see Ichiru's body for the sake of appeasing people grossed out by the idea of the eating, and for the sake of Ichiru's fans having some closure, but he really is within Zero, and there's no body in the grave maybe. Hence Ichiru's words later.)
Kaito has an obsession. XD
But it's nice that he didn't flat out say "our customs ARE BETTER, and that's it", he left it in the open as a point that didn't matter since he views both races as being different.
Though I wish he'd drop the idea that they (despite Zero not being human anymore) MUST absolutely be different from the vampires and that being a vampire is 'bad'. ^^;;
Zero kissing Ichiru's grave... ;___________; So beautiful and so sad!
Admire that magical jacket that flips to the side in a totally unnatural manner for the sole sake of us being able to stare at Zero's butt. XD *is shot*
SERIOUSLY. Why else would Hino-sensei have made the jacket fall in such a manner? XD *applauds the jacket* XDDD *lol*
And yet, she covered it with text two pages later, just to tease us. ;-; Oh the sadism. XD;
Incidentally, in the original Hino-sensei had the spelling of "Ichiru" be in hiragana instead of kanji, to emphasize the emotion in Zero's voice as he speaks the name. It's lovely the amount of things you can do with such subtle things in Japanese. ^^/
Since English doesn't has ways to convey that sort of thing via the spelling of a name, I used a different font and the italics to portray that same feeling of his voice being off and so more intimate. ^^/
I KNEW that there was something so scary with that smile of his in the previous chapter. No wonder he's so shaken thinking about it, considering what he was feeling to make him have that smile. D:
We already knew (from what Aidou had said early in the series) that being bitten by a pureblood vampire (or maybe by any vampire, but he was talking about Kaname, so it's certain at least for purebloods) was intensely pleasurable, and we'd seen that confirmed by the orgasmic expressions and little sounds Kaname makes when Yuuki bites him. *violent nosebleed explosion* 8D
Now, we hear that perhaps it also feels good to drink from a pureblood...!! 8D (It would make sense. And it would also explain why they need so much to drink from their loved one in particular, since it's such a joining/is an experience so close to something else more, err, directly physically joining. XD The whole penetration with the fangs and all, is rather similar in a way, hence why vampire stuff is usually so sexy.)
Okay, maybe Zero meant the pleasure of taking down a pureblooded prey, and not anything pervy. XD Maybe it's all innocent, But, well... who can stop the pervy mind images?? XD *lol* Especially when the series gives us such delicious subtext...? XD Excuse me while I want to go write 500 pages of porny fanfiction fueled by the extreme sexual tension on this page. 8D *rotfl*
It doesn't matters that it's Sara, because we all know she was just some convenient representative of her race there, and that in trust it's for
(Well, he could really crave Kaname's blood too, regardless of yaoi, so... XD *fangirls away wildly*)
Technically, my yaoi mind image isn't far from the truth, because despite his violent feelings for the purebloods as a whole, I'd imagine Zero's intentions for Yuuki would be gentler (I hope, in any case XD;) than the
Seriously though, this page is just SO HOT. XD *tries to focus on the fact he's discussing a serious subject that he views as terrible, but can't pull her mind out of the gutter*
*wants Zero to be gentle to Kaname too, but is totally fine if they have rough sex first* 8D *is shot some more*
Ichiru further fuels my theory I mentioned earlier, with his mentions of not being inside the grave. XD (Though he could mean it in spirit, not being there because he is with Zero. But the constant mentions of empty graves and "I'm not there" makes me think it's no coincidence or mere matter of speech. XD)
Amazing, the speed with which my mind rushed back to the gutter with Ichiru's "I'm inside you, Zero". XD;; *dodges rocks*
On a more serious level, is this whole scene with Ichiru and Zero talking, all a beautiful metaphor, or is it for real?? O_O
Because... did Ichiru have Shizuka speaking in his mind all the time after he ate her flesh? O_o
Also, if it's not a metaphor and there's no way to switch the other person off, uhm, Ichiru gets to watch whenever Zero has se- *is shot* XD;;;; Or in the shower, or- *is shot more*
I love Ichiru, but I prefer if it's a more spiritual feeling. Otherwise, it's too full of strange mind images, like Ichiru commenting while Zero is in bed with someone. "Dude, no, you totally got the wrong hole there"/"Psssh, you're such a prude, Shizuka-sama and I used to do waaay kinkier things"/"WHAT, you mean you're actually doing both of the Kuran siblings??! Never mind what I said about the prudeness, bro" and so on. XDDD *dodges rocks* XD XD;;;
;-; ♥♥♥
I'm SURE I'm not the only one who thought "KISS NOW. *_____*" when Ichiru's lips got so close to Zero's... XD XD *lol*
Hence the preview pic with the added blush. XD *lol*
And more seriously, with this chapter I started to think Ichiru might be the key for Zero to FINALLY accept himself one day, and hopefully break out of the terribly anti-vampire/anti-pureblood racial segregation issue that the death of his parents and his forced turning etc. caused. *__*
Kaito, and perhaps other hunters as well, is in the belief that it's bad for Zero to be a vampire, and that Zero has to deny that and try to cling to whatever is still human. But Ichiru, on the other hand, was always vampire and pureblood friendly.
Ichiru doesn't wants Zero to deny his nature or force himself to kill a part of himself to try and cling to something he no longer is.
Instead, he points out to Zero that humans too are evil, humans too desire the blood of purebloods etc.
So what is the huge difference there then? Is the world that Zero sees, with the innocent and sweet humans and the entirely 'evil and horrible' purebloods something that actually exists anywhere in reality? ...Or is it some image in his mind, that doesn't truly exists no matter how much so many of the hunters might like to imagine humans as all pure and kind and vampires as all bad. Ichiru asking Zero to think more on this all is a huge step forward, or at least, I strongly hope it will be the little seed planted to start the possibility of Zero accepting vampires and himself, one day!! *__*
Of course, if he does manages to ever change such a deeply ingrained belief, it will NOT be easy or fast at all, and it will be most likely a mess for a while, but I really hope Zero can one day accept himself and others. ♥
I think it's life itself, and reaching happiness at some point, the goal. X3
Because after all that Ichiru said and how much he cares, I really don't believe it could be something materialistic or belligerent like "go take revenge on an entire race" or anything like that that would completely go against Ichiru's beliefs. XD;
He looks cute even when half-wolf/half-bats while reforming himself. XD
Incidentally, late indeed. The clock on the building indicates it's 23:00 already. D:
Luckily, Momoyama-san is indeed unlikely to mind the late hour...
Incidentally also, this implies that Zero either adapted to doing stuff by night rather than mostly by day, or he spent the day at the cemetery with Ichiru and thinking etc., because he was still there by the time of the fight.
And I wonder if Momoyama-san is a retired hunter (in which case, making her the babysitter of a little pureblood princess disguised under a seal as a human is immensely ironic) or if she always worked with the same stuff she did at the chairman's (we saw her take care of stuff in the kitchen and babysit Yuuki, in the bonus chapter in volume 8), since after all the association too needs people to take care of the buildings and help with stuff and all.
In which case, does she knows about vampires...? This is quite interesting and full of possibilities. XD
*urge to write fluffy fanfiction about little Yuuki and teenage Zero back during the beginning when he got the tattoo etc.*
He was 13 by the time he arrived at Cross' place but hadn't gotten his growth spur yet so people often remember him as if he was younger. X3
Momoyama-san hadn't left a huge impression with me initially, but after this chapter I went to re-read the bonus chapter and noticed that she did indeed look really really old back then already. I wonder how much longer she lived. She was a lively and gentle old lady. ;-; *clings to totally fictional character with barely two appearances in the series* XD;;;
It's hilarious how Aidou is so often scowling at all the things Yuuki does that he finds weird, and yet he's always so gentle and trying to help, protect her, etc.
Aidou really is the ideal friend, although I terribly fear for him in this trip. ^^; They go against dangers that are moderate for Yuuki since she is a pureblood and since there's no doubt Kaname (and hopefully Zero too) would run to her defense, but one blow wrong and Aidou wouldn't survive, not in a fight between Yuuki and another pureblood. D:
He was already immensely lucky to have survived becoming a snack for Rido. *crosses fingers and hopes he will survive Yuuki's adventures* D:
And onto the things said on this page, sometimes I get the feeling the conversations in VK are getting more and more strange lately. XD;;; I'm not sure what was the point of the last part of their talk, other than get us to know that they're just randomly talking about stuff when Kaname notices the enemy bats approaching.
I can't help but wonder if Yuuki had intended to go in, but sensed Zero inside and that's why she didn't go in. (Either to not disturb/irritate him, especially when he's visiting tombs, or because of their promise from when they parted, since meeting in the cemetery would be different from meeting at the diplomatically heavy moment at the party with the peace treaty being arranged and all.)
If it is because she sensed Zero, then perhaps the reason why she wanted Touma to stop attacking her there and for them to move elsewhere, was also to not pull Zero into it.
If Yuuki was Kaname, this would most likely have been the reason behind the actions of not going in and all, but considering Yuuki is not usually so great at the planning aspect, and she seemed to still look surprised when Zero popped up at the end of the chapter, I don't know if she actually did notice that he was inside there from the start or not at all. XD;;;
It will have to be a subject for fanfiction wanderings. XD *lol*
I find it really nice how Aidou's face expresses it so well. ^^;; The moment Yuuki says it, he realizes it means those are bats from another pureblood, and that they're more or less surrounded, if it's an enemy. ^^;
At least Yuuki can tell what is a real bat and what is one created from the body of another pureblood. :D
And she could also tell that Kaname had noticed the potential enemy presence. (Err, either that or she just saw some bats and shot him a glance to make sure they were not stray ones coming out of him? *LOL* XD It sounds like a funny and cute possibility, but I'd like to think it was that she really noticed and can recognize. XD *lol*)
I wonder how far away he is. He seems to be getting the info by reabsorbing his bats, though we don't know whether that's needed for all of them or if he just prefers it this way. Maybe it depends on where and how their power is being used.
From past chapters, we saw that the time Yuuki hit Kaname's creatures to show that she was serious about going on her trip, from the way she acted and apologized seemed to imply Kaname feels the pain through the creatures he generates from his body, which wouldn't be surprising since they are after all made from him and return to his body eventually.
So we can only hope it doesn't causes wounds done to the creatures to pass on as well, considering how throughly Touma seems to have crushed the wolf!Kaname. DDDDDDDD:
Yes, and when I see people like you, I understand why they were hiding her, and why Kaname was so utterly paranoid about her going out. D:
The way Touma worded his questions when he asked Yuuki who she was, was impressively rude. XD;; He managed to even mention the Kuran family in a derogatory-sounding manner, which sadly doesn't conveys as well to English, but in any case, it's an impolite way of saying things that you don't really expect someone from a proper pureblood family to be using when talking about another pureblood family, especially since they're all usually so polite.
I've always wondered if other purebloods ressented the Kurans for the central role they've played in history, and how much... Perhaps we might find out about that in future volumes. ^^
That kid gives such huge psycho vibes. XD;
I wonder if the kid appearance is just for fun too. His calling Kaname a mere boy implies he is at the very least way older than the 19 years old Kaname currently is...
Maybe Touma is thousands and thousands of years old, bored and without a very developed sense of good and wrong. ^^; *fanfiction plot bunnies bounce around wildly* XD
If the boyish looks are fake, I wonder what his true form would look like, or if he simply chose not to age past that look. After all, purebloods incarnate perfect beauty and look young forever, so it would make sense that if one of them liked more to look younger than the usual norm, they might be able to make their own bodies comply to the looks they want to display, especially if they're so old and powerful. Sounds so full of creepiness potential if it's indeed that. XD;
We may not know much about Touma yet, but from what he said on this page we can at least make some deductions as to his motivations: His displeasure apparently aimed at Yuuki's intervention with the others appears to imply that he doesn't likes the idea that other purebloods might get to have an easier way out of the eternal boredom that sometimes pushes them to try and get out of it through some violent incident, like Ouri's death had more or less been. It would work with Touma's mention of being amused by the show of gore etc.
His mention of the change in the stage indicates he's already aware of what Sara is doing, and we can presume he either approves or is at least amused by it for the time being.
Unless, of course, it's not Sara he's hinting at, but some other danger brewing in the horizon, of which we might not have heard of yet.
In any case, with all those different forces in motion towards potentially violent direction, Kaname's faction and the chairman will probably have trouble keeping things peaceful and coexistence prone, depending on what happens. ^^;;
On the good side, however, it might also provide Zero with enemies he can fight without having to worry about doing something wrong, since Touma and Sara's intentions don't seem very peaceful!! :D So he might get to fight 'bad' purebloods, and hopefully better see the difference between the good ones and them, which in turn might help him accept the good ones. :D
Incidentally, the word Touma used for "sheltered" is a Japanese expression that means "brought up inside a box" (as in, protected from everything, so it can also have a certain implication of her being spoiled in a way because they protected her too much.)
Considering how it sucks to grow up as a pureblood with the whole issues with vampire society desiring them so creepily and wanting to hurt them and see them in pain and all, like we saw back in the ball chapters, it's in a way understandable that Touma, like Shizuka before, seem irritated by the idea that Yuuki got to escape the suffering they had to endure. Although of course I hope nothing bad will come out of this for Yuuki. D: Touma might only have been giving her a brutal warning this time, or he might be more serious, we don't know yet.
Oww!! DX (The shock in Aidou's face is really nice. It looks like it all happened so fast he didn't even have the time to move, and the horror suddenly shows in his eyes.)
X_x That sure looks painful!! ^^;;;; Even though Yuuki is a pureblood and as such she is of course in no danger of life whatsoever from such a wound.
(Even the chairman himself had expected something much worse than that to happen to her, perhaps at some point of her visits... ^^;)
WHY does the chapter has to end right there? T_T *awaits the next one eagerly*
The page behind this one was much darker and frustratingly insisted on being semi-see-through. ^^; Problems that happen sometimes with magazines, but you won't have it when you buy the book version. :D ♥
The bonus chapter will of course also be scanlated & posted, as always. ^^/ *is eagerly looking forward to the magazine coming out* *-*
It comes later than the normaly monthly LaLa, which comes on March 24th, while unlike the the LaLa DX with the bonus comes out in April.
Yuuki in a suit…
Please, don't forget to buy your local official releases of the VK manga and anime! :D
(Don't fall for the bootlegs, the anime pirated DVDs are so often made with stolen subs AND are generally of horrible quality. Please make sure to only buy the official DVDs and books, otherwise you're not supporting VK since the money goes to bootleggers instead of to the author etc. ^^;;;)
It's important. D: Any series dies without support, and VK may be popular, but it's popular for a shojo manga series, which means not that much compared to big shonen manga blockbusters. We have to support the series we love, as all series die without support. ^^;/
And that's it for this month~~! :D *hopes you enjoyed the chapter* ♥

Home > News > Cushman & Wakefield Agrees Acquisition of DTZ Luxembourg
Cushman & Wakefield has today agreed a deal to acquire the remaining 50% of the share capital in DTZ Luxembourg. The transaction is expected to close before the end of October and is subject to customary closing conditions.
By bringing together the two businesses, which will be operated as Cushman & Wakefield, the firm has now consolidated its entire presence across the Benelux region under single ownership following the global merger of Cushman & Wakefield and DTZ in September 2015. Last year, the firm acquired DTZ Zadelhoff in the Netherlands.
Sébastien Bequet has been appointed the new Head of Luxembourg for Cushman & Wakefield. He has been with Cushman & Wakefield for nearly 14 years and was previously Head of Office Agency in Luxembourg.
In his new role, Sébastien will lead the integration of the two businesses and define the new strategy for Luxembourg, working closely with Koen Nevens, Cushman & Wakefield's Head of Northern Europe Region. Jean-Pierre Lequeux, formerly Managing Director of DTZ Luxembourg, will continue his career outside the organisation.

This was not good at all. I love black beans, and I've had black bean burgers before. This was mushy, lacked flavor, and generally unappetizing. Definitely will not be making again.

Back in September I wrote a post about how I really needed to make myself get more sleep. Well, I have done that 8 hours of sleep thing almost every single night since and I tell you what… I didn't realize how tired I was until I actually started getting enough sleep.
It's like that whole boiling frogs experiment… What!? Some of you have never heard of the boiling frogs experiment?
OK, there was a teacher that would make his/her students boil water and then throw live frogs in the water. Don't worry though, as soon as those frogs hit the water they would immediately jump out.
Next the teacher would have the students put semi warm water in a pot and put the live frogs in… (They probably swam around all happy.) However, the student were told to gradually heat up the water until it got back to a boil.
The same frogs jumped out of the boiling water the first time ended up being slowly boiled to death.
Gross isn't it? But what does this have to do with exercise? Well, let me answer the question with another question:
What is your environment like? Is it an optimal for you to stay healthy and happy? Or could you possibly be slowly boiling yourself to death?
I was definitely on a slippery slope to the latter. At the beginning of the year, I wasn't getting enough sleep, I was stressing out about everything, I wasn't eating right, I wasn't exercising.
I was constantly busy! And yet, busy doesn't always equal active. Ninety five percent of my work is on the computer, so, I have to change something else.
Last year, I gained a good 5 lbs during winter and I still have yet to be rid of it. So, this winter, I am not going to let myself gain another 5 lbs because I am too busy to exercise! Winter is quickly approaching and I had to ask myself: "Am I going to fall into the same cycle of less physical activity for another 3 to 4 months this year?"
My answer is: "Um… No!"
So, last week, I started exercising again.

So, I dug out my old Denise Austin Pilates video and even the kids got out their yoga for kids videos this weekend. I am going to save myself from slowly allowing my energy to deplete even more because I am not keeping my body strong.
I like Denise Austin because she is so encouraging and authentic in her videos. The Denise Austin: Mat Workout Based on the Work of J.H. Pilates is my favorite. It is so challenging, but not too challenging.
She says things like "These exercises will help you strengthen and tone your muscles to be able to move around with everyday ease…"
Sounds nice right? 🙂 And she gives you work-arounds for some of her more challenging moves so that you aren't plagued with sore muscles and joints!
I got my kids involved too
See more reviews or purchase the YogaKids Workout Video at Amazon.com
This last Saturday, we (myself, my daughter 8, and my son, 4) decided to also get out my daughter's old YogaKids video and do that together. It's a set of two DVDs and we did the one called: "Silly to Calm". It says it's for ages 3-6, but my daughter and I both enjoyed it very much. 🙂
If you have a favorite video or activity to share, please do so in the comments! I am going to need some input to make sure I don't get bored.
Remember to stay active this winter…
The hardest part is getting started.


text: This work aims to numerically investigate how the heat and mass transfer boundary conditions at a droplet surface should be presented in order to fully represent the surrounding fluid flow. With aid of Computational Fluid Dynamics, a numerical study is carried out to investigate the validity of the heat and mass transfer analogy at the droplet surface. Natural convection in the air surrounding the droplet, arising from the heated surface below the droplet, is considered. The heat and mass transfer analogy needs to be deliberated when the evaporation is dominated by density differences rather than temperature differences and the numerical results show this transition in detail.

On October 6th, 2016, Borsa İstanbul hosted Iranian companies that showed an interest in utilizing the offerings of Turkish capital markets to fund their investments and operations. The meeting which took place in Istanbul at Borsa İstanbul's headquarters is considered as the subsequent step for increasing cooperation between Turkish and Iranian capital market entities, after the first Iran-Turkey Capital Markets Forum that was jointly organized on February 29th, 2016 in Tehran by Borsa İstanbul and Tehran Stock Exchange. The main aspect of the cooperation between the two exchanges involves dual listing of companies. Hence, this first visit from Iranian companies to Istanbul is considered as a milestone for both parties in solidifying mutually beneficial relations.
As part of the meeting agenda, Director of Marketing and Sales, Mr. Serhat Gorgun welcomed the Iranian guests and delivered a presentation providing detailed information about the key dynamics of Borsa İstanbul and Turkish capital markets in general and shared insights about the IPO process in Turkey. Following Mr. Gorgun's welcome note and presentation, Iranian officials representing both listed and private companies from Iran delivered back to back presentations adhering key information about their companies. As part of the agenda, Iranian company representatives have also had the opportunity to direct their questions regarding the Turkish market to Turkish intermediary institution representatives present at the meeting.
The meeting ended with high remarks and enthusiasm, and participants stated that "…they were impressed by Borsa İstanbul's prominent figures as well as the comprehensive information provided by the presentations delivered and during the discussions..." During his farewell address Mr. Gorgun said: "Turkey and Iran are close neighbors with a combined GDP of USD 1.2 trillion and very good foreign trade volume. They share a history of peace for hundreds of years. We may work together to help our economies grow and be a part of our strong linkages. There are so many potential areas of cooperation including, but not limited to; IPOs, dual listing of shares, derivatives and debt issuances including sukuks. We believe meetings like these are crucial in helping us understand each other's stance, identify obstacles and find the corresponding solutions required to materialize the outstanding potential. We are ready to put the effort required and we look forward to seeing the results of our mutual efforts in short to mid-term."

Kluge #32 on Forbes 400 richest Americans list
Former Charlottesville resident and one-time richest man in America John Kluge comes in 32nd on Forbes' annual list of the 400 richest Americans. Despite having to fold restaurant chains Bennigan's and Steak & Ale, the media mogul who helped create the FOX Network is still worth an even $9 billion, just behind Nike founder Phil Knight and just ahead of Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos. At age 94, he's also the oldest billionaire in the top 100. Topping the list for the 15th year in a row is Microsoft founder Bill Gates, with an estimated net worth of $57 billion.

If you own a business and want to stay competitive in your market, you must have a website. The leading resource for people to use to get information has quickly become the internet. The leading reason people use the internet is to research business information.
Without a website, your business is in danger of losing customers both online and at your storefront. Consumers regularly research companies long before they ever set foot inside them or purchase anything from them. They will quickly move on to the next business if your website does not seem professional or secure.
Sales and credibility are the number one reasons why you want to have a website, but there's more that goes into creating a website than simply using a web page creator or content management system that you need to consider when you decide whether to hire a website developer. The following are reasons why you want to seriously consider hiring a website developer beyond just presenting a professional appearance.
Hiring a website developer guarantees your website will be built specifically for your business and no one else's. A good website developer will work with you to ensure your website design meets all your expectations and more. They will ask if your website is meant to generate walk-in sales, generate online sales, for information purposes, and more and will build a website that is specially designed to meet that criteria. When you DIY your own website, you are often limited by the template you use in terms of what and how many graphics you can use, as well as text. A professional website developer will not be limited in these ways.
Visual Presentation
The way your site navigates, looks, and the graphics and colors used on it are crucial to its success. Visitors do not like to be bombarded by loud graphics and text, nor do they like to have to search for what they're looking for. A professional website developer will ensure that your website is user-friendly in its design and structure.
The internet is prone to change every day in the technologies used to present websites. There is a constant stream of new code, new ways to draw visitors to your site, and new technologies to be used. You can rest easy knowing a professional website developer is using the best and latest technologies to build your website. Most DIY website builders severely limit this kind of functionality with outdated code, technologies, and designs.
Search Engine Optimization
Search engine optimization, also known as SEO, is used by professional website developers to gain more search engine traffic to your website through improving its search engine ranking. If search engines have a hard time navigating your website, they will not send visitors to it. Your website has to be search engine optimized to be found, and a professional website developer will know how to make it happen.
Webmaster Services
A well-made website is never done. There is continuous maintenance involved to keep a website in tip-top shape, current, and relevant to their industry. Technology is always on the move, and for a website to have continued success it must be constantly updated to keep up with these trends. When you use a professional website developer to create your website, you will continue to benefit through their webmaster services designed to keep your website updated and fresh.
A professional website developer can create a website for you that is truly professional in every sense of the word. Web design companies don't hire just anyone to work for them, so they definitely don't produce average designs. They spend a lot of time considering who should work for them and also who will be the best fit for your business website's design. Also, being a business themselves, they can relate to your business needs a lot more than a hobbyist can. Their end results always produce material that possesses inherent business value.
A professional website developer understands what your business needs from its website and focuses on attaining that goal. They understand what your business is like and will make sure that they work with you to get the best possible results. This includes creating an attractive and professional design, improving usability, and simplifying navigation.
Time Saving
Of course, you will save yourself a lot of time and headaches by hiring a professional website developer to design your business website. Also, a professional website developer knows how to produce the best results in a quick and efficient manner. This will greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to design your website as well as saving you time and headaches doing it yourself.
A professional website developer also knows how to build your website in a way that is secure from hacking and other malicious attempts. This in turn will give you a sense of security in knowing your website is safe from prying eyes. You will be able to sleep better at night knowing that your website (and your customers) are secure.
A professional website developer will know how to make you look like an expert in your field through suggesting resources, articles, and source material for your website's content. All this content will help make your company appear to be knowledgeable in its field of business.
Bug Fixes
Cross browser compatibility is one of the biggest web design issues today. A professional website developer has the programming knowledge to know how to navigate these conflicts and will test your website in multiple browsers to make sure it looks and works well in all of them. DIY website designers just can't compete with this.
You Get What You Pay For
It is important not to cheap out when you are choosing a professional website developer. A good professional website will cost you at least $1k. Those website design companies that offer websites for $99 usually are working off a template, the same as you would do if you were designing the website yourself. These websites tend to not be optimized well for search engines and can be riddled with coding errors. If you expect your business to have a long life, and you want your customers to think you are professional and serious about your business, steer clear of cheap website developers.
A Worthwhile Investment
A well-designed website can last for many years without needing to be updated. While the professional website developer may use the latest trends, the ultimate goal is always to build a website that is timeless and classic, sure to last for many years without needing a re-design. So if you want a website that will last for many years to come, it is important to hire a high class professional website designer that shows they are worth the investment.
Making Money
35% of consumers admit that they don't purchase from a company that uses a low-quality website. This wasn't 35% of geeks or students, but 35% of buying consumers that switched companies for their purchase because they had a low quality website. Consider what it would be like if you have the company those consumers switch over to, and if your website will pay for itself with that kind of revenue.
Enhance Your Brand
Developing a new website will encourage you to also work on your company's branding to match. Your branding influences everything that goes into building a website, so you will want to make sure you have a brand that is professional, trustworthy, and clean. To continue this consistency, you will also want to update your marketing campaigns to keep up the flow. A new website design can breathe new life into your business through helping to inspire you to work out a brand that flows well with the design of your site.
Do You Want a Successful Business?
If you want a successful business and you haven't got a professional website, you should hire a professional website developer as soon as possible to design a business website for you. Time is of the essence and you cannot afford to keep up business if you are losing sales to competitors that already have business websites up. Along with providing you with a professional and consumer-drawing website, a professional website developer can help inspire you to update your brand and image to create a timeless and sale-enhancing vision that will last for many years to come.

Sophie Turner may technically already be a married lady, but that didn't stop her Game of Thrones co-star/friend/maid of honor Maisie Williams from throwing her an epic bachelorette party. So, there wasn't a formal confirm that this was her bach party, but my investigation leads me to believe so.
Sophie, Maisie and crew went to Spain and kicked off the party on a private jet!
So, if you're wondering what they did on the bach...the spa was a MUST...
And a wig party, which I'm totally vibing with. Along with a little sightseeing. It looks like it was SO fun. Meanwhile her hubby Joe Jonas recently had his bachelor party in Ibiza a few weeks ago!

NSW – Sydney Basket Brigade
Since 1995, Sydney Basket Brigade has worked with grassroot organisations to anonymously deliver food, clothing, toys and hope to those who need it most. We are a non-profit organisation run totally by volunteers, and a non-religious, non-political organisation, bringing together like-minded people who want to make a difference to others' lives.
The Sydney Basket Brigade is all about giving back at Christmas. It's about volunteers helping those who have fallen on hard times who might need to be reminded that someone cares. It is about making sure that Christmas is full of love for everyone.
The Committee deliberately seeks out recipients who might otherwise fall through the cracks and not seek charity – children, the elderly, the hungry, refugees, women and the homeless.
How can you help us this year?
It's the time and energy that all of our incredible supporters dedicate which makes everything that we do possible. Our goal for 2018 is to deliver 3000 baskets (Hampers) filled with goodies. There are lots of ways you can help us.

We really appreciate the help. So many smiles!!!
A huge thank you to everyone who is involved in making everything that we do possible.
How It Works
This program is built on the simple notion
that one small act of generosity on the
part of one caring person can transform
the lives of hundreds.
The volunteers collect generous
donations in the form of money,
food, clothes, toys, books, etc.
Throughout the year volunteers actively
promote the program and find out who in
our community is in most need of support.
The Call
Save the Dates are sent out to
notify volunteers a month before
packing day.
Packing Day
Hundreds of volunteers gather in church,
school and community halls to fill baskets
with teachers and teens.
Gifting Day
The baskets are delivered to the
families to bring joy and happiness
to their lives at Christmas.
Your Participation
Help us keep the circle of giving intact by volunteering for Packing Day or
donating food or goods. Sign up to receive more information.
We change people's
lives one basket at a time.

What Were They Thinking?
I guess at some level everyone who commits a crime thinks they are going to get away with it. But what I don't know is whether they think of the rationalizations before, during or after the deed.
The question is pertinent because of recent news from Tokyo.
As you know, Japan has a large number of centenarians. Not only that, they still respect their elders over there and have something called "Respect for the Elderly Day."
Ironically, that was the undoing of the plot in question.
The local authorities realized that, according to their records, a certain Sogen Kato was 111 years old, making him the oldest man in the prefecture. They decided to go visit him, but on arriving, were told by his family that he wasn't receiving visitors.
The reason? Apparently 30 years ago, (he would have been about 80 then) Kato-san announced to his family that he had decided to become a Living Buddha. Accordingly, he was, effective immediately, giving up food, drink and contact with humanity. With that, he went to his room and demanded to never be disturbed.
The family, showing due respect for the wishes of the elderly, complied and left him alone. His wife also shrugged her shoulders and acceded to his demands.
She passed away six years ago, aged 101.
Everything was going along nicely until the authorities became more strident in their demands to see Mr. Kato. The family insisted that as a monk, his wishes for solitude must be respected. Ultimately, the local authorities called the cops who broke into the inner sanctum. There they found Kato-san in "underwear and pyjamas" and in a "mummified condition," apparently dead for, coincidentally, 30 years.
So as the old ethics question goes, has something wrong been done or has something been done wrong?
If you follow the money, you learn that as "surviving" spouse, Mr. Kato had been collecting his wife's pension checks since she died six years ago. And as a pensioner, he's been receiving payments, even though he was technically employed as a Living Buddha. And technically dead.
Over the years, the family collected about NZ$150,000 in payments, which is about $5,000 per year. I don't know about you, but that seems like chump change to me, considering that this is Tokyo we're talking about, and especially when you have to put up with a decomposing corpse in the bedroom.
The whole family is in on it. One of the grandchildren is quoted as saying "Grandpa was a very scary man. So we couldn't open the door. He shut himself in the room without food or water."
My first mental picture was a little Japanese kid in a sailor suit gazing in fear at the closed door. But then I realized that the grandchild of an 111 year old guy is probably old enough to ask some follow up questions.
Which brings us back to the initial question of excuses. I have a hard time thinking that the family hatched this plot 30 years ago. But then that requires us to believe that they really thought that Kato-san was really meditating on a low cal diet for all these years.
The more I think of it, this is probably the best excuse they could have come up with under the circumstances. As shaky as this one is, it's a lot better than "We forgot you're supposed to bury dead people." Or, "We thought that incense he was burning was pretty strong but didn't want to disturb him." Or, "he was pretty quiet after the first year or so, but he told us to never bother him."
Like a lot of these stories, this one will probably drop out of the news and we'll never know what really happened. But I'm looking forward to hearing more excuses.
Which one is your favorite?

OMGosh!!! how bizarre. ewww Imagine living in the same house as a corpse for 30 years!!! I watched a programme last year about a British Minister who travelled round the world 'round the World in 80 Faiths'. fantastically interesting & in onw of the countries (I forget which) in South America, they dont bury their dead for years and years (cant remember why either) but visit them every day, leave food offerings, the local paper or whatever their interest was. They do eventually bury them, but as in the above story, some not for 30 years or so. bizarre. I love this world, it's all crazy!! 🙂 Thanks for a very entertaining read. 🙂

sounds like a more extreme case of "kodokushi" ?
loved your colonoscopy blog – my first one was displayed on a big screen t.v., i awoke out of the "twilight" state several times and politely asked the nurse to step aside because she was blocking my view! when i took to directing the doctor with such phrases as "please go back i think you missed something", they finally managed to knock me out fully.

Reminds me of an episode here in New York City a couple years ago. Two guys showed up at a check cashing place to cash their freshly deceased roommate's Social Security check that had just arrived in the mail, but were told that the person whose name is on the check would have to be present.
So they went home, put the corpse in an office chair on casters, wheeled him across Ninth Avenue in broad daylight, left him on the sidewalk right in front of the window of the check cashing place, entered, and informed the teller that their buddy was "right there outside" and pointed toward the window.
Meanwhile, a crowd of curious passers-by had formed around the lifeless body on the sidewalk, the cops became interested, and the jig was up.
Obviously, a hopeless venture from the jump, but you gotta hand it to those guys for trying.

What's the big deal? It happens all the time around here. Here being in Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A. Whenever the old man or old lady kicks off the family keeps 'em around so the checks don't stop. And since the old goat's friends are all dead, no one notices that he/she/it is dead too. The family wraps the body in cellophane, stands it up in the closet, and Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da life goes on. I figure that is how I will go out myself, stuffed in a trunk above the garage. Sort of like the salama and cheese sandwich I had for lunch a while ago …..


text: observer 624 Report post Posted July 11, 2009 As the death toll of British servicemen steadily increases in Afghanistan - does anyone know precisely why they are there? They are certainly there on the cheap, under resourced and under manned by a Government that has niether the guts to fully resource it or pull out. Standard military practise throughout history , when occupying a hostile land, has been to set up fortress bases (linked nowadays by helicopters); thus allowing close supervision of the terrain. Problem is; this requires high numbers of troops and the helicopters - something we don't have; and neither do our luke warm Euro- allies. Also, when and if, we ever do pull out; the Islamic fundementalists will still be there - cos it's where they live. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

* Q2 EBITDA up 16.2 percent to 985 bln euros vs f'cast 1.2 bln
* Sees higher EBITDA this yr, previously saw flat
* CFO rules out larger M&A deals for now
* To rake in more than 2 bln eur in cash this year
* Shares gain 1.8 pct (Adds investment plans, shares, analyst comment)
By Ludwig Burger and Patricia Weiss
FRANKFURT, July 26 (Reuters) - Germany's Covestro raised its profit guidance and bolstered its investment ambitions on Thursday, banking on stable demand for specialty materials even beyond the industry's current upswing.
The chemicals company predicted higher earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) this year, which it had previously seen as matching last year's 3.44 billion euros ($4 billion), though it gave no specific forecast.
Many chemical industry segments such as furniture and car seat foams have seen demand outgrow limited production capacity over recent quarters, causing a scramble to build new plants by the likes of DowDuPont, Saudi Aramco's Sadara joint venture, BASF and Wanhua.
The former Bayer subsidiary vowed to increase investment this year to between 650 and 700 million euros, up from 507 million in 2017, with further annual expenditure over the next three years to reach as much as 1.2 billion euros.
Among the trends Covestro is relying on is its plastics replacing metal parts in electric vehicles, as well as emerging middle classes in developing nations buying more furniture.
The shares gained 1.8 percent to 81.58 euros by 0750 GMT, outperforming a 1.1 percent increase in the STOXX Europe 600 chemicals index.
Finance chief Thomas Toepfer underscored the focus on internal growth projects, telling Reuters that possible takeover targets were in the smaller or "bolt-on" category, even though cash flow after investment expenditure would exceed 2 billion euros this year.
He added that investments were mainly earmarked for upgrades of existing chemical reactors, with a focus on specialised products with few competitors such as coatings for wind turbines or plastics for medical devices.
One new large plant in either transparent polycarbonate plastics or foam chemicals was on the cards, he added.
Second-quarter EBITDA rose 16.2 percent to 985 billion euros, broadly in line with the average forecast in a Reuters poll of analysts. ($1 = 0.8539 euros) (Editing by Maria Sheahan and David Holmes)

The Myth of Consumerism
Every society has mythology. In some societies, it's religion. Our religion is consumerism.
Ellen Weis, San Francisco's Museum of Modern Mythology
Consumerism fuels the capitalist fire. In a capitalist society, the goal is to make money, by whatever means possible, exploiting whichever potential weakness that might exist. The human race is one with a wild imagination, and this wild imagination, though a great strength, can, like all great strengths, serve as a potential weakness.
It is our imaginations that advertising exploits, and it is our imaginations that religion and myth traditionally played the role of satiating, telling stories that have morals to them, lessons to be learned. Now consumerism fulfills this role. The consumer ideology serves as the golden rule, advertising serves as sermons, products serve as our idoltry, and just as religion instills faith at an early age, so too does consumerism.
Ellen Weis (qtd. in "Advertising Characters" 1997) speaks from the perspective of one who is an authority on mythology. Her analogy between religion and consumerism is an accurate one. Undoubtedly, she's referring to this role that consumerism is playing in stimulating our imaginations. It does this by telling us a story, with us playing the lead role, painting a picture of life as being better with the products being sold to us. Our imaginations are carried away by these stories. We want to believe them because they make sense of the world. We want to believe that all it takes to be happy is a trip to the store. This making sense of the world and simplifying to such a triviality is exactly the reason why myths are created.
For example, nearly every cigerette ad features a picture of an ideal person smoking their brand, ideal at least by the standards of most people who long to be accepted. For women, the smoker typically has long blonde hair, a beautiful smile, and perfect, white teeth. The ads that best demonstrates this are those for Virginia Slims. For men you have Marlboro with the infamous "Marlboro man," who is a rugged, handsome loner out in the countryside with his horse and campfire. The ads seem to say, "this could be you." All it takes is a trip to the store and a couple of bucks for a pack.
Like all myths, the stories these ads tell have a moral to them. The lesson they teach is: your life can be better with these products or, put another way, you can be a better person with these products. This is the consumer ideology and, just like every religion has some "golden rule" that pervades all of its lessons, consumerism too has its own golden rule, the consumer ideology. All of its lessons seem to be based upon this underlying assumption that more is better, that we need the things we're being sold, and that somehow buying them will make us happier and better people.
Of course the medium for these lessons are the ads themselves. Advertising nearly always has some emotional appeal to them. Instead of catering to our intellect and giving us rational reasons why we should consume the products they flaunt, rather they cater to our emotions. What better way to stimulate our imaginations? This is almost directly analogous to the emotional appeal traditionally found in sermons. Especially before our society has become so secular and scientific, sermons were heavily driven by emotion.
One heavy emotion that we're susceptible to is fear. Fear tactics are used in advertising just as they are in sermons. For example, the Dial soap ads use the slogan, "aren't you glad you use Dial? Don't you wish everyone did?" This slogan seems to assume that the consumer already uses their product which can't possibly be the case because if it were, why would they need to advertise? Thus they seem to be implying that if you aren't using Dial, you'd sure better redeem yourself quickly before they find out! Similar fear tactics are also used in religious sermons. One extreme example of such sermons are those presented by Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), like Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, in which he says, for example, that sinners "deserve to be cast into hell; so that divine justice never stands in the way, it makes no objection against God's using his power at any moment to destroy them." Whereas the Dial ads try to subtly hint that you'll become one of those people cast from society if you don't redeem yourself, the sermons tend to blatantly tell you that you'll become one of those people cast from God's Kingdom if you don't redeem yourself. One is subtle and the other blatant, but both are effective in swaying their audience.
Just as advertising and sermons both appeal to the emotion of fear, they both also appeal to the emotion of hope. This can be seen in many of the Chevron commercials a few years ago. These ads are almost indistinguishable from religious sermons. They show deeds of great philanthropy and conclude, "do people really care this much? People do." They ensure us that there is still hope, that things aren't as bad as they seem, although they also seem to imply that they're somehow partly the cause of it all. Why else would they show the ads? You could almost take such an ad, remove the name "Chevron," and call it a sermon on the Good Samaritan. Indeed, the Good Samaritan was a God-fearing person, and the implication is that that's somehow the cause of his good deeds.
Such reassurance almost takes the place of people actually being Good Samaritans themselves. While they themselves seem less than perfect, they can always look to this image of kindness and project onto it their fears of their race being a total abomination of God and be reassured by it. Such projection onto material objects seems almost a religious necessity. Since they cannot have the actual Buddha or the actual Christ, for example, sitting in front of them, they instead meditate or pray to a sacred idol which represents their savior. This sort of idoltry is exactly what consumerism offers. People seek happiness, acceptance, nobility, and love, and since these attributes seem so hard to come by in America, they instead substitute for them the products that represent them, which seem much easier to come by. In fact, they require nothing more than a trip to the market.
Our imaginations are so susceptible to such idoltry that it can be taken to levels of outright absurdity and still be effective. A recent ad for the PalmPilot, which is nothing more than a handheld computer, featured a completely naked woman holding one in such a way as to cover the bare essentials. We can't have the naked woman, but we can have the PalmPilot. Although we seek love and sex, these are harder to obtain, so we settle for a handheld computer that's been visually associated with these desires yet have nothing to do with them.
There are hundreds of stimuli which elicit reactions that are induced by advertising. From before we can speak, we experience constant, repeated, product-oriented stimulation coming in from all five senses. Many companies base their entire existence on the temptation of children. Some of the first words many children speak are from advertising jingles. It's no wonder that we're all obsessed with consumerism. It's almost surprising that anyone is capable of breaking this trance. Often, religion is seen as being this way. Although most religions do similarly instill their faith at a young age, the exposure to it isn't nearly as constant and repeated, it's message not so tempting. The effect is greatly underestimated and, for the most part, mysterious, because we're all caught in its spell.
All of the toy companies and most of the fast food restraunts have multi-million dollar campaigns aimed at children. It's not even children that do the purchasing, it's the parents, and these companies are cashing in on the parents' love for their children, as well as the susceptable minds of the children. Religion, too, aims a lot of its teachings at children. Almost every church has a Sunday school oriented toward convincing the susceptable children. There are plenty of animated Bible story books available to teach children in a way that they can understand.
The perfect marriage between consumerism and religion can be found in the myth of Santa Claus. As if the celebration of the birth of Christ wasn't quite enough, a new character had to be born, one specifically oriented toward children, one that is more expendible and mysterious. This is religion for children, replacing toys for Heaven, Santa Claus for God, reindeer for angels, and a naughty and nice list for punishing sin. It's difficult to sell Heaven to children because they live much more in the present than do adults, but toys they want, and toys provide instant gratification: they can see the results of their behavior on Christmas morning. But most of all, the increased need for toys to supply for this myth provides a tenfold increase in profits. The effect doesn't stop there but trickles down into the economy for the entire lives of those children, for once a child learns the love for toys, they will always love toys, more expensive and exotic though they may be. Whereas a child might have miniature-sized cars for toys, when they get older they have full-sized cars for toys. If consumerism is our religion, then Christmas would be our religious holiday, now representing both our worship for products as well as our worship of Christ.
It seems consumerism shares with religion many more of the bad characteristics than the good. Like the example above shows, consumerism takes advantage of innocent minds much more than religion does. Also, religion serves many good purposes, such as teaching charity and love, whereas consumerism tends to only teach greed and fear. Even Good Samaritan ads, like in the Chevron example, are tainted with the greedy intentions of the company. Finally, although religion does tend to portray sex as taboo, consumerism tends to cash in on this attitude by portraying it as something scary, as in the PalmPilot example; the ads seem to act like the only way to get sex is by buying their products. While some religions and cults have bad effects on people's minds, consumerism seems to have worse effects. Still, they both share all of their main characteristics: morals, stories, idoltry, and faith, but consumerism seems to be coming out ahead in the race for the minds of Americans. Ellen Weis seems correct in calling consumerism our religion.
