Lynnlyrae - Still Waters

They went to the con, but got lost on the way. And the signal is not so good…

Drew my ocs cosplaying characters they could kin⬇️

Eirian – movie!Howl, “Howl’s Moving Castle”. He isn’t much like book!Howl, who isekaed from Wales and who buy a skull for the last money in the name of aesthetics (although his name is Welsh, and he definitely hides some skeletons in the closet). But the mysteriously elusive Howl of Miyazaki's version is quite suitable. And like Howl’s, Eirian's life does not belong to him. 

Rin — O-Ei, “Miss Hokusai”. A hereditary artist in search of a personal style. She wants to be the heir to the traditions of her parents, but at the same time she is trying to develop her own ideas. Existing on the border between the mundane and the fantastic is a common thing for her, especially when all kinds of mysterious things have long been a part of everyday life.

Dante – Wriothesley, Genshin Impact. Calm, collected, order-loving person. Living in a big family (Dante has three older sisters and two younger ones) taught him to be able to establish relations with anyone - and appreciate the silence. 

Shelly - Jinx, “Arcane”, The younger sister who will never be able to share the same path with her older sister. She’s always trying to prove herself worthy of the expectations placed on her. Complicated relations with parents are also there… 

To be honest I feel like vanitas real name will somehow be the opposite for what vanitas means because in the end him being killed by noe will not be his end but also gives him fulfillment and the noe true name will also be opposite of the meaning?

Or noe name has something to do with finality then vanitas name is origin?

I don’t know what your thoughts about it?

I’ll love to hear your headcannon/theories.

Hi! I actually happen to have a theory on Vani’s true name in drafts! It’s not properly written yet, because I wasn’t sure whether to post it or not. But your question kinda made me think about it again from a new angle. So I’ll find some illustrations, elaborate on details and post it soon. But no spoilers on that for now👀 I'll just say that this name has some cool mythological origins👀👀

Now about the connection of Vani’s real name and Noé’s true name. I agree that there must be some thematical link between them.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure about what Noé’s true name itself should be. From what I remember, so far three true names are known: Florifel ― She Who Guides Spring (Amelia), Canorus — She Who Plays Snow Crystals (Chloe), Aprix ― He Who Nestles Close to the Last Snows (JJ). All true names are Latin words (Florifel should be "Florifer" which is a Latin adjective meaning “flowery”, but FlorifeL just happened in English localization) that are somewhat relevant to the vampires’ character arcs and personalities. It’s a bit hard to choose a specific word from all the Latin adjectives… But I really like the idea that Noé’s true name could mean something like finality or grand change, especially since Vani’s real name in my theory is actually connected with the theme of origin and new beginnings!

Alternatively, Noé's true name could mean salvation (another recurring theme between these two). The name Noé already implies both "ends and beginnings" and "salvation" because of the story of the Arc of Noah.

Either way, both of them could have a set of names related to the concepts of Ends and Beginnings, but reversed. Noé and Vanitas are each others foils, they are written for each other – shared meaning of names would only reinforce it.

It would also add some inteteresting flawor to the theory (that I personally treat as a fact at this point) that Noé will become the next Vanitas/owner of at least one Book.

Overall, the connection between their true names is a solid idea. And I'll try to elaborate on that in the nearest future, when I post about Vani's name!

i love the country love. maybe chuuya can try some russian vodka! любовь из россии 🇷🇺💗

“My name is Kim Dokja. Twenty-eight… No, wait. I was twenty-eight, and I was an employee of a game company. My hobby was reading web novels…” & “I am Yoo Joonghyuk. Yoo Joonghyuk, a former Regressor.” & HSY just dying vibing in the background so they could talk like normal people for once

This sceme had the same meme potential as that pic from some play (under cut) that keeps floating around, so now this potential is realized

Tanaka really made a STRIKE with this one

Sorry, but someone had to do it

been a while since I drew Luna but they and their little family are precious to me🤲

lowkey based on “Vampyr” by Munch but it is mostly because I liked the title
