This book shows us the evolution of Vanitas & Noé's designs, from their very first designs to their very last.
Noé's original name was Will. He also originally had glasses.
Vanitas' original name was "Le Professeur".
🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
Vanitas with a very long kind of "ponytail" : I SAY YES !!!
Jun always draw Vanitas in a sensual way, that's not good for my heart i swear
Noé looks so serious here. But eh, actually, his personnality was originally very different than the Noé we know today !
I love this drawing of Vanitas. His smirk didn't change a bit lol
Noé with a serious look again ! It's funny to think that we were supposed to get a bit cold-blooded Noé !
He looks sad and concerned here... I want to hug him :(
Such a beautiful drawing of Vanitas !! Everything is perfect in this illustration, I'm so in love 😭
Look at that impulsive Noé !! Gosh, even if I love the Noé we have today, I would have loved to see an impulsive Noé, it could have been soooooo interesting !!
Vanitas almost never had this expression in the manga.. he looks so vulnerable here..
Aaaaand, Noé without glasses ! He kinda reached his final design !! I love him so much, my bby <3
Hey y’all!!
There is a pub and a coffeehouse that are named after me. We are somewhere in Maribor, the second biggest city in Slovenia. Ljubljana being the capital and the largest one. Ron is so amused he says the coffee here is so good, I shouldn’t feel ashamed that the kavarna has the same name.
It turns out that the owner’s grandfather gave the coffeehouse its name.
Anyway, this case is kinda hilarious. It is about “vampires” and all. Will tell everything as soon as we are back.
It is so hot so we have decided to stay on the other side of the river Drava. Unlucky that we are wasps plagued our sweaty arses (Ron's words).
is this anything. bride and his ugly ass groom
Seeing Aji-san voicing Hijikata in Blue Wolves of Mibu fuels my thing about Shinsengumi!Totomaru LMAO
HELP I HATE HOW I KEEP MASHING MY INTERESTS TOGETHER
While I haven't read the manga for Ao no Miburo, I have been a huge fan of Hakuouki for years now... So here goes nothing
Totomaru owes a lot to the Shinsengumi. Being a lowly ronin that he is, he was scouted by them and gave him a home and a purpose - to protect the bakufu.
But now that Japan is opening up its borders, their lives are slowly changing. The shogunate's hold on power is slowly weakening as it is, but Toto is determined to serve his role even if he's not particularly good at the sword. (He is, but he doesn't think too much of himself)
With the shogunate being in a panic, they began experimenting on how one could increase the physical strength of someone, and the Shinsengumi were the experimental subjects.
You could argue that the medicine worked, but unfortunately, it turned them into blood sucking monsters. They weren't called the Wolves of Mibu for nothing, but even then, he was determined to do his job that he has sworn to do, even if it was getting more and more of a chore to keep his own consciousness. He would end up repeatedly hurting himself to distract him from his own blood loss only to be disappointed that he would heal just almost immediately.
One day, Kondo himself called upon Toto, and assigned him a job. He was to keep tabs about this person named Ron Kamonohashi as he was being suspected of being an imperialist, and could be an instrument to completely destroy the shogunate, and his orders were if he were to suspect that Ron is against the shogun, he would have to kill him.
But Ron, as eccentric as he is, was actually an Oni - the original article on where he was based, and there was honestly no way to kill Ron. He's effectively immortal, except without the insane bloodlust that Totomaru is suffering from and Ron honestly doesn't give a fuck about the shogun nor the empire.
The same couldn't be said for his family, however. When the borders had opened, they managed to secure allegiances overseas and they were planning to control Japan from the shadows, and as Japan enters a state of upheaval, the two of them become friends then lovers as they both just try to live their not normal lives.
So it's like the assassin trope thing but you fall in love with your target LMAO
Also, drinking Ron's blood suppresses Toto's bloodlust.
