On April 15 I’ve sent my friend this meme as a perfect description of Olivier. Yesterday I found vol 11 omake with Sister Olivier, and then my hand just slipped

Also now I have some Chasseurs memes (and, apparently, a gift of prophecy) (also the first time I draw Charles is for office meme)

Bonus inspired by second omake: Machina and Teacher being Machina and Teacher

It's been said before, but I do really love how VnC seems to have taken it upon itself to spend time on every one of the classic themes associated with vampire literature.

Vampirism as a disease? Vampirism as seduction and/or sexual assault? Vampirism as an excuse for othering and xenophobia? Fear of the corruption of natural death? It's all there. VnC vampires aren't traditional vampires in any part of their actual lore, but god, Mochijun knows what she's doing on a thematic level.

#the corruption of death thing hasn't been as big a theme quite yet. but it's lurking around the edges #particularly with Misha's desire to resurrect luna and the way that concept is portrayed #and I suspect that idea is going to connect back to teacher's own fixation on luna and/or whatever's going on with the queen as well #and there's the fact that vani's going to die at the end. and that that's preferable to whatever the Mark will turn him into #god I love this series #vnc #vanitas no carte #the case study of vanitas #english major hours

Are we not gonna talk about both Jeanne and Noé being found as orphans, adopted by loving couples who died when they were children, then getting forced into some kind of slavery, being “mercifully spared” by very powerful noblemen vampires and kept crushed their thumb for future use, being directly asked by cursed family friends for death, failing to kill those family friends, and now really want to either literally or metaphorically fuck Vanitas?

#look into my fucking eyes #all of the VNC characters are students of major factions #Vanitas was a student of the church and Luna #Noé was a student of the shapeless one #Jeanne was a student of Ruthven #And I posit that Domi is a student of the De Sades collectively #we have a grand total of ONE healthy teacher-student relationship #vnc jeanne #vnc noé #the case study of vanitas #vanitas no carte #vanitas no karte #vnc

"The Shapeless One"

It's funny because I was trying to draw Dante when he was a kid but I ended up drawing the teacher.🤭

i had a very important realization while i was out walking today. out of the main four vnc characters, noé is the one we know the least about. he fits into a category of what i would call the glass protagonist–a guy who basically exists only to narrate the story, joining the ranks of those like nick carraway and richard papen, except he's just like way more mysterious.

see, part of what makes a narrator like nick work narratively is that we know just enough about him to 1) understand his perspective on the events of the story and 2) know what his role in the story is. nick is able to give his insider/outsider view of gatsby because he is neither part of the buchanans' world nor part of gatsby's, and his role in the story is to serve as a kind of mediator between the two of them. he's daisy's cousin in long island, but he's also a working man in city, etc, etc.

the funky thing about noé is we just...don't know anything about him. we're told a couple of things about his childhood; that he was adopted by an old couple in the human world, that they died and he was somehow on sale in altus, and that the comte took him in. but really, the time before and after louis's death is uncannily empty for the guy who we're following through this world. yes, of course it's fair to say that we know the most important things about noé, but we honestly know way more of vanitas's childhood than his, and that's a big part of the central mystery of the story.

(there's an element to this, of course, that comes from both of the examples i gave before, the great gatsby and the secret history, being novels. as readers, we get an extra level of introspection from nick and richard that is very difficult to translate directly into manga as a medium. however, i would argue that it's not impossible, and all that being said it does sometimes feel intentional on mochijun's part just how little of noé's background she's shown us.)

both nick and richard narrate their respective stories onto the reader from their position as outsiders, which we know is noé's role in vnc from the get-go. i mean, he says this explicitly in chapter one: "this is the tale of how i met vanitas, and how we walked together, of all we gained and lost, and of how, at the end of that journey, i would kill him with my own two hands". he's the narrator and this is his story, just like nick and richard, right?

but while nick and richard are the narrators, and give us, the readers, an excuse to look into their worlds, they are not exactly essential players on the board. both the great gatsby and the secret history give the impression that, without their narrators, they would have continued nearly exactly as written; the characters were doomed to fail long before the story began, and the intervention of some white guy isn't enough to either stop that. and yes, vanitas is doomed as well, but we are introduced to his death as an event that is intrinsically tied to noé himself.

"with my own two hands", noé says. he is not only an actor in the saga leading up to vanitas's demise, he is a starring player in it. (and yes, we ofc later learn that vanitas is going to die with or without noé's intervention but i think it's important to understand that this is our introduction to noé, vanitas, and the story itself) in this way, noé differentiates himself from his glass counterparts, in that he inserts himself irrevocably into the plot. he is both a character in the story and an observer, a chess piece and the one playing the game. this is why the gaps in his backstory feel so jarring, at least to me, because we are not meant to view him as solely a window into the world of vnc, but as a character all on his own.

anyways, all that being said, i'm hoping with the introduction of lady archiviste we're finally going to learn more about noé and his time with the comte, just because it's like a HUGE gap in the story.

#i think it goes without saying that domi's line about noé being a hermit for the past several years really stuck with me bc like. what. #she just dropped that line and then it was never mentioned again #noé also says in chapter one that he was sent to paris by his “former teacher” #like what does that mean. has he just not seen the comte in several years? has he been living somewhere else? what happened between them? #sometimes i think that maybe noé himself doesn't remember everything but ig we'll see #noé archiviste #vanitas #vnc #vanitas no carte #the case study of vanitas #the great gatsby #nick carraway #the secret history #richard papen #sorry if this got a little rambly by the end ahhhh

God it just hit me.

Names are power in VnC. We call the piece of the world formula that defines a vampire their "true name." Learning and altering a vampire's true name gives you near-absolute power over them. Vanitas hides his old name as part of his "Vanitas" persona—a defense mechanism to hide his vulnerable self.

And names are an axis of discrimination too. The main way we've been examining discrimination against the dhampirs is through the lens of vampires refusing to call them by their names. And Luna, the perennial outsider, seems not to have been given a real name. They certainly didn't have a name that they liked or identified with for most of their life.

So with all that context, even more than it might be in another series, Teacher's whole name shtick becomes such an insane power move. He changes his name constantly and will brutally punish anyone that gets it wrong. Nobody has the power that would come from knowing whatever his first/true name was. He has the physical and social power to punish and correct anyone that doesn't call him what he wants to be called. He is in complete control of how people address him, or at least close to complete control, which is such a big deal within this story.

#this was just gonna be a post about how it's interesting that names are the vehicle through which dham discrimination has been emphasized #and then I thought of teacher when I was thinking of counter examples #and then this hit me like a bus #if power comes from knowing someone's true name. and safety comes from hiding it #and calling someone what they want to be called/calling them their name is a sign of respect #teacher's found a way to ensure he gets all the safety AND all the respect #(if only out of fear) #also I realize me calling him teacher through this whole post might be a little ironic #but at this point it's just automatic #vnc #vanitas no carte #the case study of vanitas #vnc spoilers #vnc 62 #<<not super directly. but with the dham name thing #english major hours #teacher my beloathed #comte de Saint Germain #the shapeless one

alright alright ik about lesbian veronica and marquis machina, but am i the only insane person reading the shapeless one and machina as exes? after all, the shapeless one says “when you were with me” and “i liked your eyes back then”, and machina’s reaction makes more sense if its one of a spurned ex lover imo

#vnc #the case study of vanitas #vanitas no carte #also im not sold on Lady Archiviste being the only ‘version’ of machina #teacher does say he’s ‘finally met the real [machina]” #seems to me he’s also capable of shapeshifting since no one has ever mentioned another archiviste #but maybe cant do it for extended amounts of time so disguises #^ dunno. just speculation! #a high ranking archiviste would not be a secret and the De Sades are NOT the kind of people who keep secrets #And not use it as blackmail

[briebysabs]

So here’s some stuff we need to sit on. Firstly, Lady Archiviste is likely Teacher’s former pupil. I’m assuming it was during the time Faustina was alive and Teacher was her right hand man. Could explain that look she gave Noé as in “oh…my replacement.”

Now, how many people know? Because this is a big deal and I don’t think someone like Ruthven knows. Does Antoine know? Veronica? If she knows, that’s also pretty wild bc Lady might’ve told her. Speaking of which, I am so curious about their relationship. Are they in kahoots? Is this just a fling, friends with benefits? Are they fucking dating? I wanna know how genuine their relationship is. Bc if Veronica is lowkey in love with her that’s major given her character. Idk maybe it’ll make her open her heart a little.
