not me coming back to vnc tumblr for the first time in almost 9 months to say dantedomi real dantedomi winning

#vnc #they’re everything to me #bye for the next nine months

[digital-dhampirs]

about midway through vnc 59 i realized that the version of roland we’ve been seeing in this flashback seems much more stable than the version that first met Vanitas and now i am losing my mind; this whole time i was asking myself what Roland’s impact on Astolfo was when i should’ve been asking about Astolfo’s impact on Roland

VnC 58: the case study of astolfo

After a whole year of suspense, the Case Study of Vanitas is back with a bang and so is this tumblr blog. Time isn’t real, so let’s pretend that this analysis came out when I wrote it after reading chapter 58 rather than the day before chapter 59. Let’s go!

As always, although it’s been a while, this post will contain massive spoilers for VnC 58 and is intended for those who have read up to this point in the manga!

intergalactic tea party

Chapter 58 begins with (an absolutely stunning shot of Vanitas’s tarte tatin) a quick recap of the plot so far and where the main cast is at the moment— Domi and Jeanne tragically finish their conversation offscreen; Domi and Noé have an adorable reunion; and Jeanne leaves the hotel alone, likely to report on her successful mission to a worried Luca. Jeanne looks adorably carefree as she heads out and I pray for a flashback to her conversation with Domi in the near future.

Moving rapidly along, we cut to the Archiviste Noé caught a glimpse of last chapter, traveling through the border between worlds. We learn that she’s familiar with Comte and likely Luna as well, and she and Comte sit down to have a very Pandora Hearts flavored tea break. Comte says that mystery Archiviste hasn’t travelled to the human world in ages, making it very unlikely that she was there explicitly to see Noé, although it’s possible she was (like Comte) waiting in the shadows to intervene if the fair fight reached a certain point.

Mystarchiviste in turn reveals that Comte’s existence is “unstable”. The only context we really have for that term is Vani and Misha, artificial followers of the blue moon lying somewhere between human and vampire… Comte certainly acts like a vampire, but maybe he’s actually something much more in between? My half-theory half-headcanon is that his obsession with Luna stems partially from feeling commonality with another being who doesn’t understand their own existence…

Speaking of Luna, Comte taking their form has interesting lore implications (can he take the form of anyone he’s met, or is there another requirement that has to be met first?) and also interesting fanfic implications but let’s move rapidly onwards to the real meat of chapter 58.

the chasseurs are insane

A majority of VnC 58 takes place in an extended flashback, as Astolfo reflects on his past. This flashback confirms a lot of what past chapters have implied about Astolfo— he was consumed by self hatred and guilt following the vampire attack, to the point of attempting suicide. The whole flashback could easily read as yet another parallel to Vanitas, who, after finding himself as the sole survivor a second time in a row, turned to a path he knew would culminate in his own death.

We meet two fun new characters during this section of the chapter— a guy wearing an earring (I was half-wondering if this was a younger version of Olivier’s assistant, but their eyebrows and earrings are different, so he’s probably one of Gano’s homeboys) and Charles.

Earring guy is suspicious. He might have some sort of plot relevant past (cough cough, No. 7- [i am escorted off the stage]), he might be an average chasseur with a vampire related incident in his history, or he might just be your standard issue psychopath. My favorite Mochijun Flavored Detail this chapter is the panel where, under the guise of breaking up Mira and Gano’s brawl, he moves to block Olivier’s line of sight and path to Astolfo. It’s just so Mochijun and i missed her so much—-

Charles is neato, but he sort of has this vibe where he’s not meant to be the star of the panels he’s in. It’s like Astolfo isn’t fully looking at him. Even though Charles is trying to inspire faith in Astolfo here, the only light Astolfo sees is Roland. In his double-page introductory panel Charles is exclusively lit by light coming in through the door as Roland opens it. Roland, meanwhile, looks like a savior, the light behind him blinding, and Astolfo bursts into tears when he sees him. I’m so excited to watch their relationship collapse as this flashback continues..!

Through Charles’s conversation with Astolfo, we learn a very interesting piece of lore: when a vampire bites someone they aren’t injecting an aphrodisiac or poison with their fangs— they’re actively rewriting their world formula, and sometimes these effects are permanent. I feel like I should’ve been able to riddle this out, given the whole mark of the blue moon thing, but the fact that this happens so frequently throughout the series, and that Jeanne has rewritten Vanitas, is feckin shocking and feels like it has some very interesting implications for the series. Perhaps Archivistes are unique in that, rather than rewriting with their bite, they read what’s already there.

I honestly don’t have many other thoughts on Charles. He gets carried around and nobody’s allowed see him, possibly implying that he’s become sicker/ his existence has gotten more unstable ;) since he originally became a paladin. Maybe he’s the head honcho Roland and Olivier are working against, maybe he’s actually dead by the time we hit the main plotline. At this point, it feels like he could move in any direction.

interpretation, extrapolation, being wrong, that’s the mochijuncycle

Vampires rewrite the world formula when they bite others, often leading to devastating and permanent consequences for those they’ve bitten. Misha and Vanitas aren’t the only two unstable beings in existence— while we’ve never heard of VnC vampires turning humans with their bite, maybe once a human has been rewritten enough times they too become unstable. Maybe Comte, in constantly changing his name and shape, has been rewriting himself to the point of instability. Maybe Noé struggles to rewrite because, as an Archiviste, he was born to simply read and record.

But you probably shouldn’t trust me on any of this because, as always, this is 100% my biased initial interpretation of Chapter 58! I hope you’re all as hyped to see this flashback play out as I am, and I’ll see you (hopefully somewhat) soon for VnC 59!

[digital-dhampirs]

Hey there! So, I am relatively new to VNC. Watched the first cour this summer and devoured the manga (including the Chapter 55 floating around). I bought as many volumes of the english translations I could find (some will be repressed and released very soon). I browsed your archive before asking this, as I didn't find any posts discussing it...

Am I crazy, or did I instantly "get" that Ruthven, with all his sus connections and more, will use his 'one command' for Noé specifically to kill Vanitas (OBVIOUSLY against the Archiviste's will)?

This leapt out at me as it happened in real time.

And secondly, do you have any hope that the recent "Vampire!Vanitas" official artwork by MochiJun is more than just a tease? Could she be alluding to the fact that Noé, after fulfilling the request to 'kill vanitas', ends up instantly saving him by turning him into a vampire?

Just thoughts. because I am especially shook by chapter 55.

Howdy and thanks for the ask!! Welcome to the vnc fandom and the insane painful world of trying to figure out where mochijun is taking this incredible story….!

Lemme start with your ask about Ruthven! I’m pretty sure this was quite a popular theory way back when Chapter 19 was first released. You’re not crazy— given how attached they are to each other, Ruthven’s one command seems like a very logical way for Noé to end up killing Vanitas.

Howeveeeeerrr… maybe this is because I’m a bit of a Ruthven simp, but I can’t help but think this would be an out of character thing for Ruthven to do. I don’t think he’d command Noé to kill Vanitas unless he could benefit from it somehow; and I can’t really see how he would. Vanitas, as someone who can use both the alteration machine and the Book of Vanitas, seems like someone who’d be much more useful to Ruthven alive than dead. Even if he did really want Vanitas dead, Ruthven seems pretty capable of killing him himself if necessary.

The only other problem with this idea is that current! Noé, the one writing the Book of Vanitas, seems to have a lot of guilt over Vanitas’s death and states that he failed to grab Vanitas’s hand when he needed to. This makes it sound like Noé wasn’t actively the one who killed Vanitas, but rather believes that his inability to do something is what ended up causing Vanitas’s death / disappearance from the mortal plane. It seems doubtful that Noé would have this kind of guilt if he was brainwashed or cursed into killing Vani.

As! For! Vamp! Vani! Personally, I think it’s just a fun piece of artwork. Interestingly, we haven’t actually seen any humans turned into vampires in VnC besides the ones turned by the Babel Incident— this makes me think that it’s not possible for VnC’s ordinary vampires to turn humans into vamps.

Thank you again for the ask and sorry for the extremely late response!

vnc 56: some scattered thoughts

I went into Vanitas no Carte chapter 56 expecting the side story mochijun told us we’d be getting this month. Something cute and fluffy and probably relaxing after the absolute madness of VnC 55 and the emotional heft of VnC 55.5.

So I wasn’t really expecting to end the chapter by jumping out of my chair and collapsing dramatically on the floor.

Tldr, chapter 56 manages to be an adorable side story while also elevating my levels of hype for chapter 57 from their already high “oh boy, I can’t wait to see Domi and Jeanne’s conversation!” to the next level, which is apparently incoherent screaming.

As always, this post contains massive spoilers for VnC chapter 56 and will probably not make sense if you haven’t already read it. With that, here are some scattered somewhat incoherent thoughts on VnC 56…!

Luna, Mikhail, and XXXX

These three are adorable.

Luna. I love them. Luna being a parent to Misha and Vanitas is fuel for my soul. They can’t tie their hair up right. They were planning on getting the number of fèves wrong from the very start. They were also planning on making a cake involving a plant with a face on it and some kind of floating black rock. god I love Luna so much—

Something interesting seems to be happening with Vanitas’s memories of Luna. It isn’t that they’re changing, exactly. But the tone of the memories we see— the memories Vanitas allows himself, and the audience, to revisit— is absolutely starting to shift from antagonistic to much more familial and warm.

And I think this change in how the memories are presented is (at least partially) happening due to Vanitas starting to let himself accept that he truly did love Luna. During previous arcs he doesn’t just hide his memories from Noé— he hides his memories from himself. He’s constantly irritated when he remembers them, and only lets himself revisit the moments where he insisted he disliked Luna. The only time he’ll admit that he didn’t truly hate Luna is when he’s feverish and at his lowest point, separated from the Book and Noé.

But after the Exposition Universalle arc, it seems like Vanitas has become a lot more willing to remember the good. Actually, that’s not exactly true— the first time we see Vanitas positively remember Luna is right after he uses their power to cure Chloé and save Gévaudan. And I think that’s pretty interesting. Just as Vanitas is panicking over his newfound romantic love for Jeanne, he’s also (on a much more internal level) starting to realize that he also really did love Luna.

In a way, I think this panic might be at least part of the fuel for what Vanitas does during the Exposition Universalle. His shell is starting to crack— he’s letting himself remember those warm, happy moments with Luna that he’s pushed away for years, he’s developing romantic feelings for Jeanne. And now he’s faced with someone who combines aspects of what he loves about Jeanne and what he loved about Luna, someone whom he (arguably) feels even more strongly about than either of them at this point, and he can’t let himself love Noé too. So he makes that one desperate last attempt to rebuild the walls he’s held onto for so long. If he can cut out the root cause of all of this change, if he can kill Noé, maybe he can remain loveless. Maybe he can remain “free”.

But this isn’t a post about Vanitas and Noé this is a post about VnC 56 so let’s try to stay on track.

The whole reason I brought up Vanitas’s shifting memories of Luna in the first place is because I think we’re going to see a similar shift in how Noé remembers the Teacher in the future. Just in the opposite direction. This is just a guess, but I think we’re gonna see a lot fewer happy memories and a lot more… less great ones. Our protagonists don’t have gaps in their memories of their parental figures, they just seem to unconsciously choose which memories they remember and which ones they bury. And I think being confronted with a side of Comte that cheerfully admits to nearly killing Dominique and Vanitas during the course of the Exposition is gonna make Noé start to face the memories he may have buried.

Returning to the chapter at hand! Mikhail’s horrific expression as he tells Vanitas he wants to choose his own piece is just fantastic. Vanitas disliking the cake, but eating more of it anyways so Mikhail can’t realize that there were three fèves hidden in it all along is adorable. Luna is Luna and they’re such a good parent and I love them.

Mochijun ends the flashback by once again calling attention to Vanitas’s redacted name, this time putting it in direct contrast to the name he’s currently going by.

Ever since Chapter 55 I’ve been paying more attention to what the characters of VnC call each other. Fun fact, the only person who actually calls Vanitas “Vanitas” this chapter is Noé— Amelia calls him “Monsieur Vanitas”, Misha calls him “brother”, Luna calls him “XXXX”, and Dante calls him “quack”.

That’s pretty much all of my thoughts on the flashback part of 56, so with that, let’s go…

back to the present

The adorableness continues as Vanitas bakes Noé an apology tarte tatin. Noé is adorably excited, and Vanitas is adorably annoyed, and Amelia is ador— actually, Amelia is quite sus the whole time. Maybe it’s just because we haven’t spent this much time in the hotel in a while, but I just can’t shake the feeling that Amelia is acting off. But looking closely at how she acts, she seems just the same as always. Why does she feel so off? Is this just me being paranoid about Comte’s shapeshifting? Where the hell is Murr—-

Dante arrives on scene, and he seems… off, too. At first I couldn’t quite place why, but unlike with Amelia, I think I’ve figured it out. In the past, Dante’s always been energized when giving Vanitas new information, excited to shake his buddy down for cash in exchange for the latest scoop. Thirty minutes ago he was loudly berating Vanitas for all the chaos he caused the other day. You’d think he’d at least tease Vanitas a bit for baking a cake for his sugar daddy. But now he just seems blank. He blandly comments on the baking, stares at Vanitas and Noé for a moment, and immediately cuts to the chase. Why?

And then my brain started adding it up.

Dante works for Vanitas, but he also works for Marquis Machina. There’s absolutely no way in hell he doesn’t know the Senate is looking for Chloé and Jean-Jacques. And now the two of them have shown up right under his nose.

What’s a dhampir to do?

Come to think of it, what did Dante do in those thirty minutes when he was gone?

Dante’s in an absolutely epic dilemma and I can’t wait to see where it goes. Based on the story he tells himself, the party line he’s been insisting on since the very start, his course of action should be very clear. Dhampirs only care about other dhams, so Dante should to do what’s best for the other dhams— tell Marquis Machina where Chloé is and profit.

Who cares if doing so betrays the trust of the first non-dhampir to ever truly treat Dante as an equal? Who cares if it directly causes harm to two vampires, who cares if it hurts the guy Dante cheered for during his battle with Astolfo, who cares if it hurts someone Dante won’t quite admit he sees as a friend? None of those people are dhams, so Dante doesn’t care… right?

This is where we’re gonna start to hit…

Speculative Territory

Chloé and Jean-Jacques are in Paris. This is. Feckin delightful. Did they come to Paris because Vanitas told them to? Or has something gone horribly awry? Why would Vanitas tell them to come to Paris? Does he have some plan for where to hide them? Is Chloé just taking a nap or is something w r o n g?

There are two main parties looking for Chloé and Jean-Jacques— the church, trying to erase the evidence of their past crimes, and the senate, trying to find the vampire who could reawaken Faustina.

But these parties are each made up of their own unique factions, each with a different motivation. Ruthven, who’s working with Gano, who’s working for the Vampire Eradication Faction within the church, who’s being investigated by fellow paladins Roland and Olivier. Antoine, who acts like the perfect senator, but actually seems to be working on behalf of the de Sades, whose younger sister just so happens to have overheard some hot gossip about her siblings needing to hunt down that d’Apchier vampire.

Thinking about it, every single character in Vanitas no Carte has some connection to the tinderbox that is the senate vs church situation.

This is why I ended VnC chapter 56 lying incoherently on the floor. Chloé and Jean-Jacques are a lit match and Mochijun has just tossed them into the mix. I don’t know how high the flames are gonna fly but I absolutely cannot wait to watch the fire burn.

the end (…for now)

Thanks for reading these somewhat coherent scattered thoughts on VnC 56! As per usual, everything in this post is just my interpretation of VnC and should be taken with a massive massive grain of salt! In case you couldn’t tell I am insanely hyped for where this upcoming plotline is going to go and can’t wait for the next chapter. Chapter 55.5 was the chapter that mochijun has been setting up for since the very start of the manga, and I think this upcoming arc is going to set us on a course towards the overarching church vs. senate storyline that’s been running in the shadows of the past 56 chapters. I am so goddamn excited to see it happen.

Thanks again for reading u r a god

!!! SPOILER - I think, it is my first time being in Tumblr or writing about this stuff !!! I have been wondering, in the manga Vanitas told Noe that his family was killed by vampires but later he told Luna his mother died from child birth (if the English translation can be trusted?). What is up with that?

Howdy and thanks for the ask! Welcome to hell tumblr; hope you’re enjoying your time here so far!

I’ve gotta agree with ya here— this is an odd discrepancy and I have a few thoughts about it. The general explanation I’ve come up with is that Vanitas was stating things in simplest terms to avoid giving Noé any excessive information about his past.

This is a pretty basic explanation, but I think it makes sense for Vanitas as a character at that point in the manga. Throughout VnC, and especially during the catacombs arc, Vanitas is very insistent on not telling Noé anything about his past [side note, this is why VnC 55.5 feels so unusual and so feckin insanely momentous]. Vanitas genuinely straight up does not trust Noé in Chapter 16– he’s slowly growing attached to Noé, and doesn’t like it when Noé gets hurt, but the things that happen later on in the arc marking their first big step towards genuine trust haven’t gone down yet.

So Vanitas can tell Noé is trying to figure out his past. It’s clearly distracting Noé from the task at hand, which is in turn bothering Vanitas. Vani wants to shut down Noé’s mental questioning, so he gives Noé the bare minimum, pared- down version of his backstory— a vampire killed his parents, the Chasseurs saved him and took him in. Adding any unnecessary details like “a group of vampires” rather than “a vampire”, or “my father” rather than “my parents” would only raise more questions in Noé’s mind— what happened to Vanitas’s mother; why would a group of vampires attack a single human family; so on and so forth. Vanitas, knowing full well that Noé’s about to learn way more about him than he’s comfortable with in a very short amount of time, is trying to keep some semblance of control over how much Noé knows. He isn’t exactly lying, he’s just omitting the superfluous parts of the truth.

Of course, this is all just my interpretation of the manga, so please take it with a grain of salt! It’s possible that mochijun just didn’t have Vanitas’s complete backstory fleshed out back when chapter 16 was released [/holds head in hands/ 2017 was 5 years ago… oh by the nine divines…..], or, conversely, that something Suspicious is going on. But! I do have a decent amount of faith in this interpretation of the line, particularly compared to some of the other insane theories I spout on the regular. (of course, that isn’t really saying much….)

Thanks again for the ask!
