Voting Round 1 Thorfinn Karlsefni vs. Kaname Kuran

[Spirit]

Vampire Knight is full of shallow characters, while Thorfinn himself is a badass pacifist Viking who is committed to winning every battle without killing someone. One of these men oozes masculinity, and the other has... looks going for him I guess? Since looks aren't everything, I will take the mature lover's choice, Thorfinn.

 

[Bittersweettea]

Tell that to the judge

The Vampire Society doesn't care. Please kindly tell the judge to 'eff off and lie down and die.'

Age didn't matter for vampires because they're immortals.

Except anyone who might vote for him here is neither a vampire or immortal.

And admit it, a handsome man has a higher chance of getting more female admirers than a male plain Jane. And Kaname doesn't need to buy an eyeliner because he is already perfect.

I resent calling Thorfinn a "male plain jane" though, He might not be as bishie, or a 14 year old's ideal husband, but he is not plain IMO.

Thorfinn might have some charm on him, I admit, but compared to Kaname he is plain.

I was talking about him and Yuuki's relationships. Thorfinn lived in Medieval Age so what is he? A 500-year-old grandpa? Can you even hold hands with him without his hand turning into dusts?

He has yaoi hands...

I was talking about the excuse about him being 10,000 years old stuck in a teenager's body... and you know it

But Yaoi hands are godly. It could make even a girl with a hardest of hearts turn into a Yaoi shipper. Nobody is safe.

But an immortal vampire with a body of a twenty-year-old could hug you as tight as you want. And cuddling. So much cuddling.

Wow... you do realize he was literally a slave for a large portion of his life? Who lived in the middle ages?

I believe they bathed in the Viking era. Europe stopped after the plague in the 14th Century for some time because bathing meant sharing water with the entire town and wasn’t hygienic.

Viking who doesn’t kill? Sounds like a Scandinavian Kenshin.

Hum... I don’t know anything about Thorfinn and haven’t gotten a post on his background and why he’s husbando besides being a historic sterotype.

He was a thrall, and before that a mercenary/assassin. I don't care whether bathing was a thing back then or not, he wasn't living in a situation that lent itself to modern hygienic standards, which was my point.

Yeah you did

Thorfinn was a kid driven by revenge after what happened to his father. After that situation "resolved" itself, he found himself forced into thralldom and was humbled and forced to grow up pretty fast. He came out the other side as a very altruistic person who struggled with his past and a renewed desire to find a safe home for his people and the common man. He's as physically capable as anyone else, but his conviction of character is what makes him the most appealing IMO. He doesn't exist in some hackneyed love story we've seen 100x over in manga, he exists in a very real story about real world struggle.

I meant the posts most people post explaining their husbando with photos in more than 300 words. @Bittersweettea did a long post with photos and I didn’t see one for Thorfinn. For me, I rather see examples to why the husbando is qualified, rather than insulting the other candidate simply due to his heritage.

 

[Arjuna]

Didn't Bel nominate Kaname last year?

 

[Crescent Jinx]

She nominated Zero from VK

I don't believe I only insulted the other candidate? It's not meant as insults either, it's just banter for the event.

I'm sort of working at a deficit as there isn't a ton of Vinland Saga artwork out there, and it's anime has yet to air as well.

I tried to engage with my opponent and poke fun a little bit, conversely the only thing I've been challenged on is him looking dirty or plain. Not sure what else needs to be said.

 

[Arjuna]

It's unfair to compare Thorfinn to Kaname.

Thorfinn is from a Seinen series which has been compared to Berserk and has character development greater than perhaps whole cast of the VK combined.

Yes pipsqueaks I read Vinland Saga and it's one of my favourite manga.

But on the other hand Bitter done an awesome campaign so...I am learning towards Kaname for now(though haven't voted yet).

 

[GrySun]

Why does Kaname remind me so much of Lelouch?

 

[Lomahongva]

I'll just leave this here but Thirfinn'd be a really good daddy (those who follow the series will understand for sure).

[M3J]

Chose Kaname solely because fuck Thorfinn

Chose Kaname solely because fuck Thorfinn

Why?

 

[M3J]

Why?

I thought that was obvious. Because you're a Thorfinn fan, and fuck you. You won the roulette

 

[Bittersweettea]

Becauss lf the character design? Kaname is from a shoujo manga and the character designers of Code Geass were CLAMP which made many shoujo mangas.
