HELp he is a nightmare to draw, but very pretty glowy

What if humans go extinct before Aro and Caius and Marcus gets their shit together? Assuming everyone doesn't just give up, what's the Volturi's "save the world" plan look like now it's just vampires and animals?

It means we're entering the Children of Men fusion. There's no saving the world anymore, at least, not how it's traditionally understood.

The human species is dead, gone, it's over, and there's no means of bringing them back. All that's left now are the vampires, a race that can no longer reproduce without humans around. They live in a dying world and that's going to really take its emotional toll.

First, I imagine you're going to get initial panic as vampires search desperately for food (this is in part how humans die out so fast). I imagine some plague swept in, killed most of the population, this is combined with for whatever reason an uptick in vampire population. The vampires panic, there's a run on the bank so to speak, and in their panicked haze they overeat other populations in terror.

Eventually though, through starvation, they're all going to discover the animal diet. There's no alternative and per Carlisle and Tanya, the vampire body will instictively eat anything if it can't find its natural food source.

The panic subsides somewhat, this isn't an immediate agonizing death, for all I'm sure many vampires do ask their friends and family for suicide during this trying time.

The aftermath isn't much better, though.

I imagine Aro, Marcus, and Caius dedicate themselves to the task of protecting hunting grounds. The vampires really fucked up with the humans, this is their last chance for survival, you will not hunt these creatures out of existence.

"WE ARE EATING RABBITS," Aro declares, because they breed very quickly and there's a fucking million of them everywhere.

The Volturi are now environmental warriors, killing off those who threaten key creatures in any one environment and threaten mass extinctions of multiple edible species.

Otherwise, I imagine Aro devotes himself even more to being a historian and probably feels really weird about killing anyone for all that he still does it.

Oh, it was bad before, but now he's slowly but surely whittling away at his own species when there will never be another new vampire. Everyone who's here now is everyone who's going to be here forever. Aro will never meet anyone knew, civilization will never change from what it was, all they have left is each other until even they die out likely due to their own stupidity of killing all life again.

I imagine the gang's mostly just very very depressed about all of this and that Aro's new goal is "preserve what we have" and see that what's left of vampires/humanity isn't wiped out in the most agonizing, stupid, way possible.

I imagine Aro's also searching far and wide for any surviving humans. Praying to god it's enough to, perhaps someday, bring back the human species. There's probably a lot of trips to remote island chains the world over where he'd hope hungry vampires didn't eat fucking everyone.

On Sfar's vampire biology and anatomy

First, I think I noticed some gender dysmorphism

All the humanoid (because it is obviously not the case for Edmundo's vampire anthro duck friend) male vampires have long and big pointy ears. Fernand has them at all ages and all continuities (though they used to be smaller even if still pointy in the early comics but I guess Sfar's drawing style evolved), Dragulala has them too, and so does Edmundo

Meanwhile, all vampiresses have ears shaped like a human's, whether they are Pandora in all media, Aspirine, Ritaline, Ophélia, Tania or the Tree Man's ex wife. What is that dismorphism for ? Males have a better hearing for hunting ? The ears attract females ? WHY are the pointy ears there for males and not females ?

The one exception is Didier who does have human-like ears. But like he's really the only one in the whole franchise. So either it's a disformity, or his ears got disformed force of all these alterations and piercings and earrings he puts on, or he's trans

The color of the skin is different from one vampire to another too. Some are grey, others are pearly white, both seem to be the vast majority. Is it the same for Dragulala who is slightly brownish and Tania pinkish ? POC in his case ? Or just like there are tanned and ruddy people for both cases ?

Vampirization may also give side effects, notably hair-wise. Not always since Ritaline, Aspirine and Edmundo have nothing, but Dragulala's hair became turquoise, Pandora's violet while she used to be blonde and Fernand straight up lost his auburn hair. Maybe side effects are given only if you are turnt into one by magic (though that version happens only in the new continuity) ? Maybe Dragulala also was turnt into a vampire by magic ? Maybe nothing changes is you are vampirized by another vampire or are a born vampire ? In which case can you also be born bald or with technicolor hair if one of your parents have these ? Maybe Dragulala was a vampire born with parents with a side effect ? Unless bald and technicolor hair is the same thing for the skin color, not uncommon in vampires ?

Speaking of Vampire borns, apparently vampires CAN reproduce. The Tree Man had 3 children with his vampiress ex wife, and Richard doesn't mind the idea of having "wolf pups" with Ritaline and as much as it was a playful flirt it means he knows it is possible. These 2 cases are vampiresses with non-vampire partners, so hybrid children (showing it is possible ; we never see any hybrid so we don't know if they look like a mix or only like one parent), but it means they probably could reproduce too with their own males too if they wanted. And the children likely grow, they don't remain babies. Do they thanks to the other parents' other species, and if with vampires they would remain infants forever ? That would be too tragical to think of

OK OK THEY GROW BECAUSE FOREVER NEWBORNS IS SAD AND CREEPY. So if indeed they do grow, vampire borns can grow and age, but still remain immortal (unless killed lol). But then when do they stop aging ? Out of fate too, depends og individuals ? The physical age of their parents ?

Meanwhile on the contrary those who become vampires after having been humans forever keep the same age, forever frozen at that period of time they "died". Fernand in the Petit Vampire universe is forever 10, Aspirine is forever 17. That sucks but it makes sense. They weren't born that way on the contrary they "died". However it seems that those who were vampirized "traditionally" have a "post-mortem amnesia" and don't remember they pre-vampire life, so does Fernand in Grand Vampire since in this continuity he was vampirized that way, making up in his mind the first Petit Vampire continuity to invent himself a happy childhood as a way to cope with his loneliness (strangely enough in these fake memories, even if they are never shown, Pandora and him seem to remember their past life. And becoming a vampire can happen just like becoming a zombie or a ghost, you need to truly die. KNOWING PANDORA KILLED HERSELF IN THESE FAKE MEMORIES WHAT HAPPENED TO HER SON ? DAMN FERNAND YOUR STORIES ARE DARK). But in real life, how comes Fernand and his mother were both vampirized ? Maybe she became a vampire first since it's implied she already knew the Captain since here too Fernand sees him like a father meaning he was probably there before, and vampirized her son when he became an adult so that he would not age and die even if it meant forbidding each other from interacting again ? Maybe they were humans and happy with the ghost stepdad but then something happened and they had to be turnt into vampires or they would truly die ? Or if it works like in his fake memories DID die and they "respawned" as amnesic vampires just knowing who they are and who are they to each other but no past memories ?

Now, in the new continuity where it seems like it's its own thing there is no post-mortem amnesia, or at least for who like Pandora and her son turn into vampires out of curse/magic. They remember everything, and that's precisely why Pandora erases his memories, he had known tragical things with the Gibbous always trying to kill them and she wanted to give him back his innocence ; a fake good idea since by not remembering the danger he gets bored and sneaks out leading to the plot's events lol. But that memory erasing thing, is it only in this new continutiy ? Is a vampire power, or just vampiresses ? Or just Pandora, like maybe they all or some have special powers and that's hers ?

Now, I see the cartoon as its own continuity. Not only because it sometimes retells the original comics with different details even of the main plot remains, but also for how contradictory with the original comics they are when it comes to Pandora and Fernand's family tree : they have a vampire family with meetings from time to time (which the Captain doesn't attend because "I must write my operas" hilarious shit) and Fernand has a cousins, Ophélia and Didier, implying Pandora has at least one sibling who is a vampire too ; or at least 2 since I dount Ophélia and Didier are siblings since they come to visit separately and usually we know that in families when one is sent to a relative all the fratry does. The WHOLE FUCKING FAMILY was vampirized !? I doubt so ! It means it has to be a vampire born family on this continuity and that when they say "dead" it is as in they are undead ! Again I didn't watch all episodes especially since for some reasons half of them are blocked in France despite being a French show (EPIC COPYRIGHT FAIL) so I don't know if they mention any "past life" or "death" for Pandora and her son, but for what I saw so far their past is not told the fact she and him have been the same age for 300 years aside and the reason why they are vampires not given. The fact they have a whole chunk of relatives who are vampires like them really makes me think they possibly can't all have been humans or what kind of fucking curse they would have undergone if so lmao. The Captain even refers to Didier's teenhood as if it were temporary so... so what ? Why is Little Vampire forever 10 and others like maybe Didier age ? If in this continuity EVEN Little Vampire was born a vampire probably since it's a vampire family ? Weeeeeeell... what if they actually keep the age they want as long as they want to and grow up or age only when they feel like they are ready ? Perhaps Pandora wanted to stop aging while she was a young adult after having had her child, and said child is "forever 10" because he wants to remain far from adult things ? And his cousins feel good at teenhood for now. JUST A THEORY GUYS !

Enough with age now

When it comes to hygiene, Pandora says vampires are auto-washing, they are naturally clean. She gives baths to a grumpy little Fernand only because she wants to gibe him the reflex to be clean and fresh. A blood bath is also very cleansing, relaxinh and healing, like how Edmuno and his vampire duck friends put Aspirine in a blood bath after finding her knocked out

Also on the fact that all vampires fly but Ophélia because she "can't fly" and has a "handicap". Does she mean it in the meaning of a disadvantage like she was too scared yo learn (and then at what age do they learn and how ?), or does she truly have a disability (if so why is no one aware and she keeps her secret ? Her family should know)

In short that franchise raises more questions than it answers lmao
