*dies* Oh sweetie, that's beautiful! So sad!

Being with me has cracked you like a precious glass figurine

*dies once again*

Please don't write anymore sad stories. I don't know if I'll be able to take it. Don't listen to me. Your angst is beautiful.

[inkcharm_666]

Totally not going to write sad stories anymore.

*pointedly ignores obviously crossed fingers*

Thank you for the review, dear, I'm very glad you liked it.

*throws phoenix down for revival - once again*

Not that angsty..
But interesting in the sense that it offers a new point of view into the scene-that-makes-everyone-cry (even Gackt himself - though that's just because he can't stand to see his darling Hyde crying).

*amused*
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. I was trying to give the thing a new angle and I'm glad I succeeded.

I have never read a Moonchild fic written from this perspective. Most of them portrayed Kei as the strong one and Sho as the weaker of the two. In so many ways, i thought that the movie was meant to make you see what a sad sad life Sho has. And yet, i have always felt for Kei's character more and thought it was so mean of Sho to make Kei go down all the way and help him get himself killed. (in a sense) I love this perspective, i think to a certain extent this is what should have been explored more in the movie, the vulnerability under such a strong creature. Many hearts for keeping this simple and very well explained and thought out. <3333333333
Love this!

Thank you so much for this lovely review.
As far as your views of feeling for Kei go - you and me both, dear. What you wrote there mirrors my thoughts exactly. I'm glad the point came across well. But yeah, throughout the movie I have to say I developed a lot more sympathy for Kei than for Sho ^^' And I have always felt that while seeming to be so strong at first glance, he's actually more frail than the other characters maybe perceived him to be.
Thank you once again - I'm glad you liked it.

That's what i thought too, and that is why i love your point of view in this piece. Sho had said something about how "everyone's gone" towards the end of MC and i was really thinking its really really true for Kei more than Sho. Kei had time and again, stated the difference between him (being a vampire) and his friends being human, that someday they would all die and he would only just move on. As much as Kei tried to, it seems to me Sho slowly and surely broke down a lot of his defenses... and then willfully go on a suicidal mission with his best friend unable to do anything but to watch. I always wondered how much Kei would hate himself for being vulnerable to sunlight especially when Sho deliberately shot holes through the warehouse just to stop him from following.
And i don't think Kei actually really forgave himself for turning Sho. =( It's heartbreaking.

[inkcharm_666]

Oh, it is! When the ending rolled around, or rather: the beginning of the end - I wasn't occupied with rooting for Sho, but I was just in complete agony for Kei. To be trapped by the sunlight, to be dragged away from sweet release just to watch the most important person in his life go on a suicide mission...

It's so very, very heartbreaking. And then to suffer this one moment of weakness, to turn Sho and know that most of all he'll forever hate himself for it... he really is the single most tragic figure in that movie.

And that's why I love to hurt him even more.

...

Totally didn't say that, now.

OMV that sent a shiver down my spine. I dunno why ... it's amazing! **huggles** Thank you I love it! <3

[inkcharm_666]

*hugs* I'm just glad you liked it. Thank you for commenting.

[lovelydagger23]

This was beautiful. T.T

I'd like to say more...but my fingers hurt from playing the guitar too long and too often. T.T

[inkcharm_666]

Oh dear, your poor fingers. Thank you for commenting despite the pain *hugs*

[lovelydagger23]

Now that all but one of my fingers healed well enough, the story wasn't just beatiful, it was very vivid as if you made Sho's feelings stick out in a three dimentional feild.

Don't worry about my fingers. It was my dumbness for ignoring my fingers when they sent me "WILL YOU QUIT IT?!" signals. XD Hopefully I've learned my lesson. *Doesn't even know if I did or not*

[inkcharm_666]

learning lessons. Yeah... usually not working for me xD

Next time just yell for me. I'll send virtual kisses to make your fingers better.
