IM GIGGLINGGGG WHAt???

😭

have a horrible day everyone

The conversations these people have are SO deranged. In the span of a single page

1.Han Sooyoung says she will seduce Yoo Joonghyuk, being delusionally overconfidant considering he has killed her once already but go off girlboss, live your #femalemanipulator #femmefatale fantasy

2. Kim Dokja looks her up and down and tells her she is 'so flat and so short being attracted to you is pedophilia & I know for a fact Yoo Joonghyuk is not a pedophile" which is SHADE that could only come from a gay man

3. They both recall the last time they met Yoo Joonghyuk. Kim Dokja casually says 'you know I beat him up last time I saw him so he probably wants to kill me lol' and Han Sooyoung strokes her neck and wistfully reminisces about her own beheading (??)

What I'm saying is that there's something very wrong with all three of them that is SO compelling. This is how you write character interactions

MY FAVORITE VNC DRAWINGS FROM THE BOOK "BROCANTE" BY JUN MOCHIZUKI ♥️

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

Got off the bus at tesco with the express intent of buying a specific thing but fuck me sideways if I can remember what the fuck it is

what happened on February 15th 2025

(have y'all seen the orv LA trailer💀?)

Hmm I wanna start posting thoughts I have lol cause I think a lot

I wonder how fast my morals would wither away if I was immortal and lived for like. More than 100 years. Cause for some reason I feel like life is just short enough for me to keep being who I set out to be and stay that way. Is that a weird thought??

they can't ACTUALLY just use guns instead of swords the whole time, right???? i remember one of the movie posters had broken faith on it so like...there's that at least i think??

once again thinking abt ORV as one of the most brilliant and self-aware genre commentaries ever, cus' isekai/transmigration is-- in my experience-- a deeply lonely genre. the yearning to be plucked from the stress and apparent dead spiral of real life and dropped into a setting where you matter somehow. the fact that this transmigration is often by way of death, completely abandoning the real world, is particularly telling and... bleak. but whether it's a recognition of being 'the most baddass dude', the narrative satisfaction of trying to 'fix' the plot of a doomed story, or even just befriending characters we've laughed and cried for, we want so badly to be a part of something more.

and the way ORV recognizes that and doesn't mock it, but gently reminds us that... real life isn't removed from that. it may not be as straightforward and 'narratively' satisfying as a constructed story, but we can enact change in the world around us, and we can find connection and solidarity in others. the things we want from escapism are things we often can achieve in real life, at least on a small scale. if only we recognize the inherent depth and complexity of others as, y'know, fully-realized human individuals. hell, if we recognize ourselves as more than simple characters with set paths and tropes.

ORV takes every opportunity to remind us that we are not alone, no matter how bleak and isolated we feel. our lives are constantly touching others and vis-versa, and we leaves marks on the world we can't possibly predict. we matter, we always always matter
