Wait, I'm stupid. Is Roland and Olivier from Vanitas no Carte supposed to be referencing Roland and Oliver?? The classic French friend duo who died tragically trying to win a battle that was rigged against them? Who were loyal to the other to the point of death despite Oliver being the literal braincell in the friendship and warning against Roland's pride? Who were almost brothers but couldn't be ala them dying before Roland could marry into the fam via Oliver's sister?

Because if it is...what could it MEAN?

#I'm not deep into the vnc fandom...just watched the anime and thought it neat and promptly focused all my attention on Noe #well noe and murr....#but like....if IF Roland and Olivier are supposed to be a reference to Roland and Oliver....#then sjrhhrjsjajehrhrhskskoeh i may have yo look deeper into the manga #you guys dont understand im obsessed (like lowkey...doesnt really affect my life like some fandoms do) with the Song of Roland #its the commentary on pride and friendship and the notion of chivalry and glory and that anglo saxon notion of mod #despite it being french the whole not asking for aid and glory thing sort of made me think of the anglo saxon thing about mod #plus roland is like...obsessed with his ideals up until death comes and its too late #and i just....#fandom spamdom #vnc #vanitas no carte #note's nonsense #the song of roland #listen my comprehension skills STINK esp for classics so obligatory disclaimer and apology if i got song of roland off #anyway shout out to a roland gifset making me think this
