Does anyone remember me making a post where I say I write fics where Noé has the same problems as me? I did it again. This is the fic I alluded to at the end of that post.

Why do letters in this writing system look like that? Like, there has to have been a better design than "g". I think big alphabet needs to hire a graphic designer. Or me. I could make a better symbol.

POV: I have any problem

Me: “That’s actually Noé’s problem now” (writes a fanfic where Noé has my problem because he’s my favorite and this is my coping mechanism)

I have new problems so be prepared for a new fic soon.

[victorian-era-rat]

I think someone placed a curse on me so that (with a few exceptions) all my favorite characters die, have no screen time, or both

I figured out how the website works and managed to open my asks

Hello! I'm alive and I realized I never posted my analysis of the Case Study of Vanitas volume 9 cover so I'm doing that now. (spoilers)

Image I stole from google:

The rest of this is going to be in bullet points in an attempt to not jump back and forth between subjects.

-the pins: While this is probably one of the easier ones to figure out, I still wanted to give my interpretation of them. I think that they're intended to represent the pain that Mikhail causes Vanitas (poking into the frame with a picture of Vanitas inside) but also the way in which he does it. Pins only cause pain in one specific area representing how Mikhail strategically makes Vanitas remember specific moments so that he's easier to manipulate.

-the chains (and their connection to the pins): The chains represent how Vanitas was trapped by Mikhail. The fact that the pins specifically are holding the chains up shows that their relationship causes Vanitas harm and that it is built off of his pain. It also shows that Mikhail wants Vanitas to be isolated as his portrait is covered in chains possibly so that nobody will touch it.

-the blue butterflies: There have only been two times in the series that I can think of where butterfly motifs were used, on this cover and when Ruthven hypnotized Noé, thus butterflies can be associated with manipulation and control. While Ruthven's butterflies are red, most of the ones on the cover are white/light blue. Both of these colors are highlighted in Mikhail's design, so they represent Mikhail's manipulation and control over Vanitas. The quantity of them is likely meant to show how long this manipulation has been happening for and how deep it goes.

-the red butterfly: This one specifically stands out because it contrasts the mostly blue color palate of the cover. As mentioned previously, the only other time (correct me if I'm wrong) when we see butterflies like that is when Ruthven is hypnotizing Noé. As far as I am ware, Ruthven has no connection to Mikhail or the events of this volume, so it most likely represents Noé. Continuing with that interpretation, it's probably supposed to show Noé trying to get past all of the lies and manipulation to end the fight, explaining the contrasting colors.

Uh... yeah. Let me know if there's anything I missed

Butterflies in Greek myths represent the souls that leave the bodies. In East Europe specifically they represent the souls of vampires. So for me the butterflies are dead connect to the protagonists. Purple butterflies are archiviste clan who circle around last archiviste, same for vanitas because i believe there were other blue moon vampires,after all it is called clan. One art with jeanne and vanitas, the butterflies around her , they are her victims of hellfire witch. So in case of this cover , the butterflies is noè trying to reach vanitas, misha pins butterflies who actually people who might be able to reach vanitas. PS: is the cover from starcomic? Are you italian?

[victorian-era-rat]

That’s really cool! I never knew about the symbolism relating to Greek mythology.

Response to ps: I’m Italian Irish but don’t live in either of these countries. The picture is just the first one that came up on Google.

I love this analysis. I think the red butterfly is also there to emphasise the parallel between Vanitas and Astolfo. Red/pink is a colour associated with Astolfo, and the Astolfo’s cover art (volume 6) features a blue butterfly (blue obviously being associated with Vanitas). Also emphasises the manipulation aspect since the volume 6 cover art is about Astolfo being caught in the ‘web’ of others’ schemes.

[victorian-era-rat]

You’re a genius, I don’t know how I didn’t think of that

I’m kinda bored so does anyone want to request a fanfic? I can’t say for sure that I will get around to it (and I will veto any suggestions I’m not comfortable with) but if I’m comfortable I’ll try my best!

Here are the fandoms I am in/have been in

-the case study of Vanitas (manga and anime)

-bungo stray dogs (up to the end of season 2)

-heartstopper (books and show)

-the owl house

-gravity falls

-demon slayer (manga and anime)

-the glass scientists

How to suggest:

Just comment your suggestion under this post and I’ll reply if and when I start working on it

[idk-ju]

I would like to suggest a simple body swap fanfiction between any characters from the glass scientists. Though I also would appreciate if Jekyll/Hyde have a major part in it.

Thank you, enjoy your day and hope this was helpful

[victorian-era-rat]

Sorry that it took me so long to respond to this but I’ll get started writing it when I get the chance today

[idk-ju]

Thank you and no rush, hope you enjoy writing the fic :D

[victorian-era-rat]

Sorry that it's kinda short, but I did finish the fic, I hope you like it!

Vent kinda

a lot of times I feel like I wasn’t meant to be a real person but someone’s oc. Like, I don’t feel like I was meant to live in this world but meant to be a vampire in his mid twenties going on adventures (with a doomed yaoi subplot) but somehow, somewhere, something went wrong and I became an actual person and a human.

This might have to do with the fact that I spend hours a day daydreaming in an attempt to escape reality, but this reality just doesn’t feel right. There’s nothing to do and it gets boring, and when it’s not boring, it’s scary.

I tend to feel apathetic towards this reality. It’s just not the one I was meant for. The idea of being fictional brings me comfort, maybe it’s because my actions don’t truly matter if I’m not real so it takes away some of the pressure. If I were fictional, my life also wouldn’t be boring.

I’m also apathetic at best towards my body. (For some context I’m afab transmasc) I haven’t felt comfortable in my body in years but I’ve just grown accustomed to the discomfort until I remember what my body actually looks like and not the picture in my head. But if I were a vampire, (under the assumption I’d be amab) I’d get fangs. Fangs are so cool I really love them and depending on the lore maybe grey hair. I’d feel so much happier in a body with fans.

Anyways, basically I long to be a fictional vampire… any thoughts on that?
