I see a disparity of opinion regarding Mat’s relationship with/thoughts and feelings towards Rand in the first few books and I would like to take this time to clarify something:

Mat is a tsundere.

This isn't even a shitpost, it’s canon. He has to be bullied into admitting he genuinely likes Loial in TGH, and even then he’s all squeamish about saying it. And he’s the only one who constantly says “aahhhh” every time he’s forced to make any kind of emotional admission.

And that’s why his relationship with Rand seems so imbalanced, I think. Because Rand is so genuine and Good and is always fretting about Mat, while Mat, in standard tsundere fashion, vehemently insists that he Does Not Care and will deny possessing any and all Emotions(TM) in court

Case in point, as pointed out to me by @vncthings:

hes basically a twin-tailed anime girl tbh

okay I lied this is kind of a shitpost

I have an exam in like three minutes and I shouldn't even be on Tumblr right now bUT I WILL BE BACK WITH MORE TOMORROW.

For now, guys, just remember: Mat does care, quite a lot, in fact. He’s just a chaotic dumbass tsundere who couldn't have an emotionally sincere conversation to save his life.

Averoigne and Auvergne

When it comes to these two French provinces we have a bit of a…. situation. Back in chapter one, Noé, while in (our) France, said that he “lived shut away in the forests of Averoigne for ages [...] it’s terribly deep in the country.” and there is nothing wrong with this until the province of Auvergne is also mentioned in connection to the attacks of the “Beast of Gévaudan”, which also took place in (our) France.

As we know, Averoigne is Auvergne’s fictional counterpart, as in these two places aren't supposed to exist at the same time but somehow they do. How? It seems a logical explanation that if Auvergne is in (our) France, then Averoigne - is in Altus.

Some thoughts and theories before the new chapter comes out

I would like to talk about the thing that’s been most on my mind lately and that is the de Sade family. Back in chapter 19, when Ruthven talked about grandpa de Sade, he gave us a piece of information which I misinterpreted the first time I read the chapter.

First time reading, I mistakenly thought he was talking about Noé but that makes no sense. Reading it again, I realized the actual meaning. So, at one point in his life, grandpa de Sade adopted a child to whom he later gave his title and property to. Who could this be? Without a doubt, I can say that this person is from an important, high-ranking family that we’re well familiar with – the de Sades. And I’m betting that the person in question is Louis and Dominique’s father (or mother, but I’m leaning more towards their father).

I had wondered why neither Domi or Louis have displayed abilities like their granfather’s since, as we’ve seen, vampires from the same clan have the same formula manipulation abilities. But this explains it – they’re simply not related.And this is an important piece of information.

And before you think I’m forgetting about her, let’s talk about Veronica. The fact that we’ve seen her abilities but not an ability from any other de Sade, makes me think that she may have been adopted into the family (that, and the fact that she looks nothing like Louis or Domi). It doesn’t seem that far fetched, right? Given the family’s history.

The last thing that I want to mention is something that’s been bothering me for a long time which concerns de Sade, aka The Shapless One, and Marquis Machina. Now the reference here is obviously Marquis de Sade. However, the thing that seriously bothers me about this is that Mochizuki basically split the name in two and gave it to two characters. Why would she do that? Well I have one idea – what if this is hinting that Marquis Machina is the Shapeless One? Think about it, the only way you could come to this conclusion is if you know the reference. Otherwise, you have nothing to connect these two characters with.

I feel that we have many things to discover about the de Sades and I honestly can’t wait to learn more about them!

Current year in VnC I place at 1889 because:

The Exhibition of Decorative Arts where Jules Bourdais’s “Sun Tower” and Eiffel‘s project were competing in was held in 1885 and considering that Vanitas knows of the Eiffel Tower project, I assume that exhibition still happened in VnC universe. The tower itself was built 1887-1889 and, as we know of ch20.5, the Exposition Universelle of 1889 is to be held soon.

Now that we can accurately pinpoint what year VnC is set in, that got me to thinking - vnc!Paris is so similar to real!Paris even from a historical point of view (at least up to some degree). The existence of everything created by Babel is what causes the change from our history to what we know in VnC, but it seems that some events either still occur as they did or with some changes. So why is it that any of this might be of importance? (or not) Because this implies that future events could also happen, as we see with the Exposition Universelle.

Now, I’m not familiar in depth with French history, so I would need to do some research to see if there’s anything else that we might see in happed in VnC, but I find this to be another very nice touch to the story.

EDIT Wait a minute. Does this make... the battle between the humans and vampires was the French Revolution????? After a discussion with a few people, we’ve established that, no, probably not

So I have a theory of who I think is in that tank we saw back in ch18:

Jeanne

The real one.

Now, I don’t really have anything concrete to support this theory, it’s more or less of a feeling that I have.

Ruthven forbade Jeanne from says what the reason behind her craving for blood is and somehow I doubt it’s because she’s a curse bearer (also keep in mind that he’s working with the people who are creating the curse bearers). She also doesn’t strike me as a person who could have “raced over battlefields, mercilessly routing her own kind”. (forget that part. Just remembered what it said in the most recent chapter about bureaus being compelled to hunt their own king to atone for the crime they’ve committed.)

Jeanne used to have long hair and was put into an induced slumber. What if Ruthven didn’t really awaken her? What if he did something else in stead. What? I have no idea at this point. The current Jeanne could be a clone? The result of a vampire’s ability?? Who knows

I just love Mochizuki’s ability to manipulate her readers. I feel as if she makes us assume things even though they haven’t been confirmed in any way. Have these two examples:

Many theorize how the woman from Vanitas’s past could possibly be an Archivite because of her darker skin and white hair. Which is all good (and I personally like those theories) except that their very basis is something that has not been confirmed - why are we assuming that the vampires from the Archiviste clan had darker skin and white hair? This topic has never been touched in the manga but for some reason we sort of just go with it.

Another thing is the bed time story which was told to us in the very beginning. So now every time we think of the Vampire of The Blue Moon, we think of “a hated vampire known as “Vanitas”” who “was born on the night of a blue full moon, a symbol of misfortune. Everyone was afraid of Vanitas and ran him out of the village. [...] And in his heart of hearts he swore… vengeance on vampires born on the night on a crimson moon.” and about the Book of Vanitas as “a special book created by Vanitas, imbued with the power to interfere with vampires’ true names“ which, for now, seem to be the case. But still, it’s just a bed time story and it would be interesting if Mochizuki takes advantage of this to confuse us (aka. the story not being accurate/real).

#VnC #the case study of vanitas #vanitas no carte #vanitas no shuki #vncthings #she's playing with our heads #having said that #I'm still convinced that back in ch5 that was Domi and not Louis #in Noé's flashback #and only Mochizuki can prove me wrong #there is nothing you can say that will change my mind

A few posts have been made discussing Moreau as a character. My personal view of him is that of a rather interesting character. He may seem a bit generic and like comic relief at first but he’s not and I think that the last few pages before Moreau leaves proves this point. He is to be wary of. So far he appears to be predictable and unpredictable at the same time (at least to me).

Mochizuki has also kept a lot of similarities from the reference for the character (the novel ‘The Island of Dr. Moreau‘), which include:

Novel!Moreau - eminent physiologist (in London)

VnC!Moreau - also an eminent physiologist (in ???)

Novel!Moreau - fled to an island after his experiments had been publicly exposed

VnC!Moreau - went to Paris after begin expelled from the academy (where?) after a ‘certain scandal’

Both of their experiments involved experimentation on live animals (aka vivisection)

Novel!Moreau – wants to create humans from animals

VnC!Moreau – wants to create vampires

All these similarities may be important considering what happens to novel!Moreau – he gets murdered by one of his experiments that escapes his lab. But wait, there’s more. Not only does the experiment kill Moreau but it dies as well (they kill each other). This may well be foreshadowing of what might happen in VnC. It might be Vanitas, No. 71 (if he’s still alive), or any other of Moreau’s experiments but it’s a possibility.
