On Kamilah And The MC’s Beach Conversation

On Kamilah and the MC’s Beach Conversation

I know that some fans and Kamilah stans felt disappointed or perhaps even angry when the vampire queen talked to the MC about Gaius in the diamond scene. And I understand. But personally, I think that this particular scene is important because it portrays a significant turning point in Kamilah and the MC's relationship. It also showcases development and growth on Kamilah's part as a character.

But before I delve into the analysis proper, I would just like to say that I think that it’s important for Kamilah and the MC to properly address the former's past relationship with Gaius. This is because I believe that if she and the MC are ever going to have a serious relationship, they both must be open and honest with each other. In addition, I think that they also need to accept hard-to-swallow facts about one another for them to have a stable, healthy, and trusting relationship.

So, with that being said, I will now proceed to my analysis of the scene:

Gaius's return has obviously shaken Kamilah. She expressed that his return also brought back memories of her violent past – memories of her past deeds, which she eventually came to regret.

Kamilah is haunted not just by her former lover's return, but also by feelings of regret and guilt over her past actions. She described her past self as a monster that thrived on bloodlust. On this, Kamilah stated that after several centuries of being such a monster, she eventually came to realize the error of her ways. As such, she decided to reinvent herself by changing for the better.

And as a way of doing so, Kamilah chose to deny herself any form of meaningful pleasure or joy as a form of penance and atonement. Having committed so many atrocities in her long life, Kamilah had come to think that she does not deserve true happiness.

The above-mentioned established facts show that in the present storyline, Kamilah is internally struggling with her past and her feelings of guilt and self-resentment. Gaius's return painfully reminded her of what she used to be and how she actually enjoyed committing terrible things. She also seems troubled and horrified at the fact that she genuinely loved Gaius even though she's always known of his dark and monstrous nature. Such an internal struggle is exceedingly burdensome, and to keep it to oneself is damaging - both emotionally and mentally, in the long run.

This is why it is essential to express one's problems and struggles to others who they can trust. On this, Kamilah opening up to the MC was a significant defining point in their relationship. The act of sharing and unloading her inner turmoil to the latter must have taken great courage on Kamilah's part. This is because, for a very, very long time, Kamilah has shut herself away from most people. She admitted that her coldness and flippancy serve both as forms of atonement and as shields to protect her from getting hurt. But by sharing her internal struggles, Kamilah let her guard down and allowed herself to become exposed and vulnerable to the MC. This is an indicator that she feels comfortable with and that she trusts the other woman. After all, people, in general, do not share their deepest and most difficult troubles with just anyone.

This scene illustrates Kamilah's growth as a character. She no longer feels the constant need to shut everyone out. She also no longer feels that she must bear her burdens alone. She is slowly but surely starting to reach out to others and to form meaningful relationships again. And she is currently establishing such a relationship with the MC. Additionally, she has also started to allow herself to feel joy whenever she is with the latter.

On the MC's part, in the story, she has tried and continues to try her best to understand and support Kamilah. In this particular diamond scene, she helped the vampire process her feelings and struggles so that the latter can feel more at peace with herself. She also expressed that she understands that the vampire is now an entirely different and better person compared to who she was before. On this, it's worth noting that the MC has never shown fear or resentment towards Kamilah despite having already seen some of her darker memories. This indicates that the MC honestly does acknowledge that the vampire has genuinely changed.

All in all, their relationship is a slow and steady burn. In the storyline, Kamilah is slowly starting to become more open, and she is also gradually allowing the MC to see more of her vulnerable side. She has also already started to become more expressive about her concern and feelings for the mortal woman. And on her part, the MC has been and continues to be patient. While she occasionally tries to coax Kamilah into sharing her feelings, she doesn't push the vampire into doing so if the latter does not feel comfortable. This shows that she respects Kamilah's boundaries. And whenever Kamilah is willing to share, the MC has demonstrated that she is always ready to listen and to offer words of comfort and encouragement.

Hashira Wedding Night: A Spin-Off Inspired by 'The GiyuShino Low-Key Married AU'

Greetings, fellow GiyuShino shippers!

So, I've just been lurking in the GiyuShino tag for a while. But I've become invested in the ship quite some time ago. Haha. But anyway, I just wanted to say that I came across 'Hashira First, Spouses Second: The GiyuShino Low-Key Married AU' by Buriko, a.k.a @demonslayedher, and that it's a great read!

I especially had fun reading Chapter 4, which featured their wedding and wedding night. Hahaha. I know that since the fic is rated T, there wasn't anything explicit. Yet, reading it inspired me to write a smut fic of what could've happened on Giyuu and Shinobu's wedding night. Hehehe.

I reached out to Buriko, a.k.a. @demonslayedher, to ask for their permission to post my story. And they said yes! I'm glad that permission was granted, and I'm also excited to share the story!

I actually already posted the story on Ao3. Hehe. So, I am now sharing the story's link here on Tumblr! For my fellow GiyuShino shippers who follow the 'Low-Key Married AU' and want *ahem* more details about Giyuu and Shinobu's wedding night, you might want to give my story a try. Hehehe.

Just a quick disclaimer: The contents of my fic do not necessarily reflect how the storyline of Buriko's story will develop. I tried to make this fic match the source story's tenor and characterization, but I think that I did not quite stick the landing. Hahaha. But all the same, I hope you will still like what I wrote!

Anyway, here's the link to the story and its summary!

Hashira Wedding Night: A Spin-Off Inspired by 'The GiyuShino Low-Key Married AU'

Rating: M

Summary:

The softness of the towel barely registers in Giyuu’s mind even as he runs it over his head. His hands go through the motions on their own, with his mind preoccupied with other matters. One specific matter, at that. I’m supposed to make love to Kochou tonight. -- OR A fellow fanfic reader/writer's take on how Giyuu and Shinobu's wedding night went in the fic-verse of Buriko's 'Hashira First, Spouses Second: The GiyuShino Low-Key Married AU'.

If you read the fic, then please let me know what you think! Let me know your thoughts in the Ao3 comments section! Reviews, comments, and critiques are most welcome! And also, many thanks to Buriko for granting permission!

Mistakes

Hi, everyone. While browsing through Tumblr, I saw a request for a Kamilah x MC story that takes place after the Priya diamond scene from today's BloodBound chapter. Afterwards, I got inspired to write this. Hehehe.

P.S: I only saw the Priya scene through screenshots posted on Tumblr. I didn't actually buy the scene because I want my MC to remain faithful to Kamilah and also because I want to save diamonds for future chapters. Lol. Hahaha.

Note: The setting here is that the Council meeting went well and Gauis did not appear at the end.

Click here to go to Part 2.

Amy's POV

"So, it's settled. We will implement the rotational scheme."

After hours of animated and heated arguments and debates, the Council had finally agreed that they would not destroy the vial. Instead, they decided that they will hide and secure it, and that its hiding place will change every week in order to ensure better that Gaius will not be able to locate it.

"As agreed, Jax will choose the first hiding spot. Afterwards, it will be Priya. Then Lester, then the Baron, then me, and finally, Kamilah."

At the mention of her name, you instinctively stiffen - the memory of your literally bloody affair with Priya tugs at your guilt.

"Once the first rotation is completed, we will start a new one with Jax selecting the next hiding spot."

After a few more closing statements, the meeting finally adjourns with everyone present feeling tense and anxious.

The Baron and Lester leave immediately - the uneasiness apparent on their faces.

Adrian then addresses the rest of you. "I better go. I need to consult with some of my Clan members about surveillance and intel gathering."

"I'm going to go start planning." Jax says. "Lily, I think I'm going to need your help with some tech stuff."

"Gotcha. See you around, Amy." Lily goes in for a hug.

"See you."

As the three vampires leave, you turn to Kamilah who seems completely lost in thought.

"Kamilah? You okay?"

Before the Egyptian vampire can respond, a silky voice purrs into your ear.

"Aww. Aren't you going to ask me how I'm doing?"

You jolt as Priya wraps her arms around your waist.

"Priya!"

The fashion designer grins predatorily. "Why so jumpy, darling? You seemed to enjoy being in my arms before."

You feel your hands go cold. Kamilah is standing right in front of you and is now staring at you engulfed in Priya's embrace.

"This whole Gauis business has made me tense. Maybe you can help me relax ..." she lightly nips at your ear, not at all bothered by Kamilah's presence.

"Priya, I ---"

"She will do no such thing. Let her go."

You both turn to Kamilah whose eyes are silently blazing with cold fury.

You're frozen by a feeling of dread, but Priya just laughs.

"Oh, but she will. After all, we had so much fun the first time we did it. Right, Amy?"

You are unable to respond as you watch the anger on Kamilah's face turn into shock. For a brief moment, you see a glint of hurt in her eyes before the fury returns to her features.

Kamilah steps over to the two of you and roughly places a hand over Priya's arms which are still around you.

"Priya." You see her grip on the fashion designer's arms tighten. "Let. Amy. Go."

As her grip continues to tighten, you start to hear something crack.

"Ah!"

Priya suddenly releases you. You turn to see her nursing her left arm. That's when you realize that the sound you heard was her bones cracking.

In a flash, Kamilah is between you and Priya.

"Leave. Now." Kamilah's eyes were red and her fangs were bared.

Priya answers by bearing her own fangs. However, she doesn't do anything else.

"Fine." She stretches her arm - her cracked bones now completely healed. She turns to you and smiles. "We'll pick up where we left off some other time, gorgeous." She winks and leaves without another word.

Soon, you and Kamilah are left alone in an unbearable silence.

After what felt like an eternity, she speaks with her back still facing you.

"Why?"

End of Part 1

Some BloodBound Book II and III Parallels

On the left: Chapter 10: The Plan, Book 2 - Kamilah tells the MC that she doesn't think that she could bear to lose her mortal lover.

On the right: Chapter 1: The Hunger, Book 3 - Kamilah tells the MC that she refused to accept that she had lost the latter.

On the left: Chapter 16: The End, Book 2 - Kamilah laments that they didn't have enough time.

On the right: Chapter 1: The Hunger, Book 3 - Kamilah expresses that having more time with the MC feels like a miracle.

I was honestly pissed that the writers didn't have her say 'I love you' directly, but it's obvious that Kamilah's love for the MC is reflected in both her words and actions.

I love these two together and I'm excited to see more tender and loving scenes featuring that two of them.

On the left: The MC during the moment before she parted with Kamilah in Chapter 6. During the said moment, the MC promised Kamilah that they'd have more intimate moments together.

On the right: Kamilah during the moment she reunited with the MC in Chapter 9. During their reunion, Kamilah promised that the two of them would never be apart again.

I love the parallelism.

I wasn't able to take screenshots of my playthrough. But I am so glad that my MC has finally reunited with Kamilah!

I hope that the two of them will get some one-on-one time together in the next chapter.

Some thoughts on the upcoming BloodBound Book III:

Perhaps the MC may be the only one who can stop Rheya for good. It's possible that she might not be an ordinary vampire, considering the fact that she's also a BloodKeeper. She might develop supernatural powers that are unique to her. Or maybe she will develop the same powers as Rheya. Or maybe she'll get both unique powers and those of Rheya's.

Regarding Serafine's ominous statement that she sensed something dark within the MC, maybe it's a foreshadowing of what the MC could become. Assuming that she may be the only one who can stop Rheya, it's possible that Rheya might want to try to convince the MC to join her and her cause. I can imagine Rheya giving the MC a speech about how they can can build an empire for vampires together. Maybe the kind of person/vampire that the MC will become depends on the choices that players make during the game. Perhaps or perhaps not.

It's also possible that Serafine sensed an ancient and dormant power within the MC while they were at the Tomb, the likes of which that vampire-kind has never seen before. And maybe that power was so old and overwhelming, that Serafine couldn't help but feel apprehensive about it when she sensed it. Perhaps that's the reason why she described it as a "darkness". But then again, this is just a guess.

Regarding that scene, maybe the Tree of Eternal Life's presence caused the dormant power within the MC to sort of "awaken" so to speak. Perhaps her sleeping BloodKeeper powers (that is, if she has any other powers other than being able to see memories and visions) were awoken by the tree's presence.

And what about Pamphira? The goddess that Rheya used to serve while she was still a mortal priestess? Maybe she'll make an appearance in Book 3. And if so, perhaps she can provide answers and explanations regarding the BloodKeeper-vampire connection.

Anyway, these are just some thoughts and guesses. We'll find out more when Book 3 is finally released.

P.S: I can't wait for my vampire MC to reunite with Kamilah, her vampire Queen. Hehe.
