hello @servamp-musings i’m your secret santa!

you requested ‘anything with mikuni, jeje, misono, or lily that isn’t too shippy’ so i did all four

the last supper is christmassy, right? i mean it has jesus and everything

do you know that one of st john’s symbols is a snake inside a goblet? so ofc mikuni has to sit on his place. sitting right next to him is the pure innocent alice doing his best to lead his people to safety, with his own servamp being too scared to reach out to him.

[servamp-musings]

aaaaaa I’m so sorry that this is late qwq

Hope you had an amazing Christmas @thesilenceislost!

Thank you again to @animes-trash for coordinating this event 😁

Finally, I wish everyone a happy new year and all the best for 2023 😊

Thoughts on Chapter 125

I swear these chapters will be the end of me-

Before I forget, Jeje’s face! After so long, we finally get to see it aaaaa :D

From the start, that played out a lot differently than what was expected. So Jeje was the one who killed Kiriko, to stop her from killing herself and so she could ascend to heaven.

I do find it interesting how Mikuni didn’t really react much despite literally watching his mother get killed, and that his first suggestion was to use Jeje’s power to convince Misono that he was the one who did it. Honestly, there could have been another excuse he could come up with and I don’t really see how that was better than telling Misono the truth as both were kinda hard to hear. Perhaps Mikuni’s always been more unhinged than we thought.

Ooh so the spring/key is their contract item. In some sense, the fact it was from a music box is really fitting for them, considering how they have a theme of puppets, dolls and in a way, clockwork. I guess that since Jeje saw Kiriko pick the box, it’s still a little reminiscent of her as well.

All three of them were in the Alicein’s basement the whole time?? Jeje we knew about, albeit differently, but Kuro and Tsubaki too? Finding out that Jeje was voluntarily sealed was interesting too, unless that fits into his desire to die as stated before due to everything that happened with his previous Eves and it was the closest to what he wanted.

Personally, I don’t know how to feel about the double barrier thing. On one hand, having that with both the Alicein and Tsukimitsu families makes sense as it’s extra security and when the heads of the families change, the barrier is broken down and reconstructed so it prevents the whole thing breaking apart if something happens to one of them. On the other hand, the changing barriers thing just doesn’t feel like a good idea to me. Then we found out Kiriko broke the barrier when the Tsukimitsu’s side was down, and accidentally freed Tsubaki when she let Jeje out.

Linked with the previous point, I’m now thinking that it probably really was Lily that put Kuro in Mahiru’s path.

To be fair, you can kinda feel sorry for Kiriko and understand her actions. Her husband cheated on her, and in wanting to make a contract with Envy, she unintentionally let Tsubaki out and then since she killed Misono’s mother, she was trying to atone but is still hearing about the things Tsubaki did. As this was only possible because of her, it really weighed heavily on her. At first, I questioned Jeje’s choice to kill Kiriko as if he really wanted to prevent it, there was other methods but then again, it could also be that it was his way of showing her mercy, knowing that she was going through that.

Jeje in a jar asdfghjkdjs-

I’m sorry, but there’s something weirdly ironic about Shirayuki giving Iori the role of head of family when he was eighteen to prevent him from doing something reckless, and then we know he’s gone and done something reckless anyway.

Mikuni having done his own research was something I had always expected from him. What I didn’t expect was him going to a fast food restaurant so soon after but him not liking it was predictable.

Jeje taking the bag, plopping it over his head and Mikuni’s reaction 😂 Mikuni laughing was cute, I think that’s the first time we’ve seen him genuinely smiling like that? It was adorable how Jeje stacked more bags on to make him laugh more too. And thus, the origins of the paper bags xD

Tsurugi and Touma! :D So this is when Touma took Mikuni into C3 :o I genuinely thought that he would be a bit more wary as seen in Touma’s subconscious before, but Mikuni agreed quite quickly, supposedly because it might have been in his best interest.

I guess everything further established that Jeje still binds himself to Kiriko by choice, through both her son and the music box key.

I do hope that we can see what happens next and that Misono manages to interact with Mikuni since he now knows most of the truth. As always, looking forward to the next chapters :)

[servamp-musings]

Thoughts on Chapter 124

How Sigurd was being so pessimistic and everyone being sad about Nicco possibly dying, and then Miyako just casually strolling in scolding them 😂

I really love Miyako in this chapter, just the way they shove Sigurd aside and takes charge of healing xD It does make you wonder why they didn’t help Iori, but I do believe that the two of them have a plan of some sort and Miyako is acting accordingly. On another random note, I thought they came by car with Yumi so I got confused when I saw the helmet-

The part with Licht and Hyde was quite sweet (idiot Hyde and idiot angel)

Just the confirmation that Jeje probably shortened his attack to avoid hurting Misono gets me every time 🥲

Seeing Toto from the Mori family and the rest of Nicco’s family in the video call panel was amazing, and I love that him and Nicco remained friends after the Russian Roulette scene.

Poor Good B and Bad B though; they showed up in one chapter and the next time we see them, they’ve already been captured 😅

The flashback of Tooru, Iori and Touma 🥲

It’s so nice to see Ildio finally accept Nicco and that he actually remembered his words about sharing food and drink with others. It was a nice end to the first half of the chapter with them all celebrating together. The second half of the chapter though, the contrast.

Finding out about the barrier within the Alicein Household was interesting, but I don’t quite get why Mikuni wants to deactivate it? Other than it aligns with what he’s doing at the moment even though it’s still not revealed.

There were two things that came to mind when I first saw the spiral staircase; 1) Why do they have such a long staircase in the manor and 2) Why does it remind me so much of the stairs leading down to the underground room in that Kingdom Hearts 2 cutscene xD

I guess the thought of Mikuni and Iori working together is a bit out-the-window, but I still like the idea and perhaps it’s still a bit early to conclude that.

The physical keyboard slam I experienced seeing the mirror and the way Mikuni’s reflection looked. I’m aware it probably takes the form of whoever’s in front of it with the key, but the thought of there being a Mirror Mikuni and how going in through the mirrored doors is like going through the looking glass, like the book.

The bottled aura and the broken bottles around it…it looks like either there was multiple parts that got out, or it was the result of multiple attempts to keep whatever that was (part of the count?) in.

Wait, so you’re telling me that Mikuni didn’t actually kill his mother, and that he wasn’t actually there that night? :o The possibility was there, but I didn’t think it was that •_•

Did Misono think it was Mikuni and Jeje because the wisp resembles them slightly, or was it another memory that Lily had interfered with? If that’s the case, oh boy.

Jeje’s words at the end of the chapter about how he doesn’t believe that he’s of any use to Mikuni anymore and how he’s worried if Kiriko made it to Heaven ;-;

Please tell me the person going up the stairs isn’t who I think it is, if so my brain’s going to implode-

I’m guessing that probably means Mikuni took the responsibility of everything to hide the truth from everyone, and if that wisp/aura is part of the Count, uh…I’m going to say yikes at the implications and might make Mikuni’s motivations a bit clearer if that’s the case.

I swear if this ends with Jeje working with Misono and Lily with Mikuni-

As always, I’m looking forward to next chapter but also a bit scared of what’s going to happen.

The piano cover of Sakuya’s Theme is here! :D

We hope it sounds ok ^^

Announcement

Hi everyone! I’m happy to finally announce the project that me and my sister have been working on :D

We had recently started a Youtube channel where we create piano covers of soundtracks/songs from series we enjoy.

Currently, we’ve been working on Identity V pieces but we have also began trying to cover some Servamp ones too.

Here is a reblog of the first song we have ready for Servamp :)

We hope you enjoy! :D

To honour the Birthdays of our favourite characters, Mikuni and Jeje. We have created a piano cover of Mikuni’s Birthday theme in the Land of Nod (Mikuni’s shop).

We hope it sounds ok ^^

Also, MIKUNI! JEJE! WE’RE SORRY FOR BEING LIKE A MONTH AND A COUPLE OF DAYS LATE ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

Random thoughts/theory about Mikuni and Tsurugi

I was just reading through Volume 17 of the Servamp manga, and after talking about the recent chapters with my sister again, the two of us started to have some thoughts about these two.

We know that Mikuni really hates him, and that jealousy probably plays a part in it as Tsurugi had nothing to start with and gained more after the C3 arc. We also know that another reason is that My Fair Lady worked on him and Mikuni probably felt betrayed about this fact. However, we were thinking that maybe there’s a bit more to this?

It’s also that it was playing out a bit…too much, if that makes any sense? Like Mikuni is putting a lot of effort to show everyone that he doesn’t like Tsurugi and Tsurugi going along with this easily.

That’s when we were both wondering, is there a possibility that Mikuni and Tsurugi are working together as well?

We still don’t fully know what Mikuni’s intentions are, and yes, maybe he really does genuinely dislike Tsurugi but also accepts it for the sake of his plans.

Despite how he was before, Tsurugi is quite sharp and able to read others well, and due to the time he spent with Mikuni in C3, he understood his thought processes to some extent too. I don’t know when they would have allied, but there’s a chance that maybe Tsurugi is Mikuni’s source of information in C3, not in the direct contact sense and Mikuni won’t share everything with him but through an alternative way. For example, having others observe him. Of course, this is taking into consideration that it may also be Shuuhei as Mikuni always steals his ID to get information.

This mainly came about during the scene when Tsurugi went to the Alicein Manor with Yumi following the strategy meeting and finding out Tetsu was missing. Tsurugi was gauging Misono to think about Mikuni’s side of the story, as if he already knew the answer and was guiding him towards it. However, before he could tell them what Mikuni’s goal probably was, his phone was broken by the teaspoon that was sent his way and threw them off the topic. Tsurugi wonders if it was Lily, but we now know that as Lily is working with Mikuni, could it be that he was trying to stop Tsurugi from saying too much?

Hello!~ Thank you for answer! I'm happy to find new Servamp fans friends~ Ah~ It's kinda hard to choose because all Servamp characters are so lovable, but probably my favs are Licht and Lawless. Oh, don't worry about it! What type of requests do you like to write? O, and do you like to imagine yourself or OC in your favorite fandoms? Hope you have a nice day too!~

Hello again! No problem, me too and I really love seeing everything people post in the Servamp fandom :) Ooh nice, Licht and Lawless are great, it was through these two that my sister found out about Servamp and then she introduced me to the series (I love their dynamic too) xD

I’m fine with any type of requests, though I do like the ones that allows me to really think about how characters would react and what they would do in prompted situations. I also like discussing theories and seeing what everyone thinks about the themes/character actions/recent occurrences in chapters too. Finally, I’m always excited to take on the challenge of writing something I haven’t done before or with characters I haven’t had the chance to do something for as well.

I actually make OCs quite often when I’m in a fandom, and whilst I don’t write fanfic anymore, I still create character profiles for them 😅 I do occasionally plot out a section of a story with them in though😅

Thank you for your ask, and hope you stay safe and enjoy the rest of your day/afternoon/evening 😁

[servamp-musings]

Good day, dear Musi!~ Nice to meet you! ^*^ I really like your blog and I'm happy that you write Servamp things! I like this fandom and feel sad that it's kinda unpopular. Do you like Servamp too? What is your favourite character?~ Tell me please, are requests open now?

Hello dear Anon 😂 Nice to meet you too ☺️ Aww thank you so much, I’m glad you like my random ramblings ❤️ I do like Servamp, I usually have phases when I’m really into a series and this one takes the spot at the moment. I just really like the story, the way the characters are written and I look forward to the chapters each month.

I completely feel you, I like this fandom too and love seeing all the art/fics/theories/headcanons everyone posts as it’s all really interesting though I do wish it was a little more popular, it really deserves it (would like to see the C3 arc animated too xD)

My favourite characters are Mikuni and Jeje, but I also love Tsurugi, Gear, Youtarou, Misono and Lily :) What about you?

Yes! Requests are open but I may be a bit slow getting through them, sorry in advance 😅

Thank you again, and I hope you have a nice day ☺️

[servamp-musings]

Hi hiiiiii! How are you? Feeling good I hope 💞

Can I request Licht with a s/o who is very passionate about angels (biblically accurate angels omg 😭💞) and who is ready to talk about angel-lore anytime?

Ty in advance!

Hello :) I’m good thanks, how have you been? I admit, I don’t know a lot about angels or biblically accurate angels other than when someone showed me a picture of them once at work but I’ll see what I can do 😅 Hope these are ok :)

Licht with a S/O who is passionate about angels

Hearing that you were just as passionate about angels as he was, Licht was happy to have someone to talk about them with.

The two of you would often discuss the roles and duties of angels and the importance of being a good person overall.

You also exchange angel or heaven-based gifts or show each other an interesting item from the same theme on special occasions or if you find anything randomly throughout the week.

However, once when speaking with Licht and you check your phone for the time, he notices the image on your wallpaper and questioned you about it.

You explain to him that it was a biblically accurate angel, how angels are said to look if using the information stated in the bible.

Seeing his interest, you start telling him all you know; their different roles, the nine types and their presence. As you talk, he doesn’t interrupt, listening to everything you say. Even if he didn’t understand all of it, he would nod along with wide eyes, following and showing a child-like wonder. To him, you just seemed so animated when sharing your wealth of knowledge and seeing you smile was enough to make him happy too.

After you were done, you realise how long you were talking for, you attempted to apologise but he brushed it off, saying that it wasn’t necessary and that it was interesting, asking a few questions for you to continue talking. To him, the appearance doesn’t matter, what they represented was important and solidified his mentality to him.

Since then, you’re the main person he signposts to if others ask him about angels after he talks about them and feels like you can provide more information. You also receive a lot of angel-related posts if he comes across any as well.

He is quite supportive of your passion and stays by your side no matter what, showing signs of genuine awe as well with what you are saying.

There would be times when the two of you would prank Hyde by sticking pictures of the angels around his room. Needless to say, the Servamp was creeped out.

[servamp-musings]

Thoughts about Jeje - Physical Composition and Ability

Just some more random rambles I had after reading this month’s chapter 😅

Mainly thinking about the fact that he was hollow when Ildio bisected him.

I did initially think that it could have been a fake Jeje there in a similar way to Mikuni’s ability (like a doll or illusion) or something to make it seem like they have the victory. Literal hollowness inside gives the implication of “puppet” and it does follow the Envy pair’s theme of creator and creation quite well. Also, when he was cut in half, he didn’t lose any jinn, which you would expect to happen since if following Tsubaki’s countdown, he’s the next one to. This is what I’m mainly leaning towards.

The other thing that came to mind was that it could possibly be the real Jeje and the hollowness is how Servamps are. In a similar way to how the video game Kingdom Hearts handled vessels, maybe something like a humanoid mannequin was used to hold the demon and the soul of the person they used to be. Due to that soul, it gives them their previous form back and they become almost “human” again. It may also be mixed with something that allows them to heal quickly too, like how Lily could attach his leg back on and Freya after getting shot (though it takes time). I wouldn’t be surprised if this only applies to Jeje though and he had always been a “walking mannequin” as he was the first Servamp where the process began to stabilise. May also contribute to how he’s full covered as well.

I like how he looked really snake-like as well when he used his ability. Maybe that could be a reason as to why he always covers his face, because Envy is sometimes considered to be a monster and that’s what he becomes when angered/using his full ability?

Another random thought I had was his ability compared to Mikuni’s. I love that the two’s tie together whilst the other Servamp/Eve pairs’s are quite different. Again, unlike Mikuni’s, Jeje’s seems indiscriminate. However, this may be linked with Kiriko as well. Based on how Jeje viewed her as “too pure to be vicious”, it links a little with how the woman in Mikuni’s “My Fair Lady” resembles her and she only acts as the scale/balance for which judgement is cast. She doesn’t directly harm another person, but can be dangerous when used in such a way, especially with another’s influence. Similar to how my mum thought that part of Kiriko was “absorbed/consumed” by Jeje and this is the part of him where she remained, if that makes sense. Mikuni is Kiriko’s son, but because he’s the opposite to her in being vicious, he’s the one leading to harm happening whether intentional or not.

Despite this, “My Fair Lady” only works on those who have killed, something that only affects those who deserve it. This leads me to think, in Mikuni’s case, he sees those to have committed a crime to be worthy of punishment whilst if you try to punish an innocent person, it doesn’t work because they did nothing wrong, the way it should be.

However in Jeje’s case, it doesn’t matter if you did something wrong or not, you get punished either way. This leads to idea of false accusations. Me and my sister originally thought that Jeje’s Subclass were falsely accused of crimes and Jeje bought these people back, but what if on the flip side, Jeje himself fell victim to this which caused him to lose his life as a human? Like he will accept the fall for someone under the condition he got revived after (his quote about him asking to be bought back to life). Because of this, he doesn’t see the distinction, especially in the case where others don’t care about the truth and just want someone to take the fall for it. A little bit of bitterness, in a way.

On the other hand, even if they were guilty, Jeje believes that everyone involved needs to be judged and not just the person who did something wrong. As such, both his and Mikuni’s view on fairness is both the same and different at the same time.

[servamp-musings]

Thoughts on Chapter 123

I thought last chapter was intense but this chapter ;-;

Nicco and everyone looks awesome on the front cover :D

I find it both interesting yet believable that Mikado had always been afraid of Lily. The latter does have a friendly demeanour and seems to genuinely care about his Subclass, the Aliceins and Misono but can also be scheming and sinister in his own way which is a little scary when you think about it because it’s not something you would expect from someone like him. I love how he changed to his Inner Demon’s appearance before back to his own though when Mikuni started talking xD

I’m assuming there’s some significance to Mikado’s pendant for Mikuni to take it, though we’re still no closer to finding out what Mikuni is after. It can be inferred, but it’s just figuring out what’s going through his head 😅

Jeje thinking about Mikuni and Kiriko ;-; I’ve seen how he apparently refers to Mikuni as “the beautiful son of a beautiful woman” and it’s so nice but sweet in a melancholic way. I think it implies that Jeje may have been fond of her and sticks with Mikuni not only out of guilt but because of their similarities and for Kiriko’s sake as well. Imagine how it must have been like for Jeje seeing someone he saw as “too pure to be vicious” descend into madness because of what Mikado did and how it broke her. It’s…kinda sad.

In the same sense, Mikuni is the opposite of his mother but I think that despite what he’s currently doing, in Jeje’s eyes, he does believe it is the right thing to do and he probably knows what Mikuni’s intentions are (perhaps showing kindness in the form of making himself the villain).

I also love how regardless of anything, Jeje still refuses to attack Misono (again, probably because of Mikuni and his own guilt), shooting around him to force him out of range.

I’m guessing that it was maybe Mikuni’s blood that he had? My sister had a theory that maybe Jeje and Mikuni weren’t fully contracted but instead had constant temporary contracts until this point, though I think this shows that maybe they do have a full contract after all.

Envy pair and their puppet/creator theme for their abilities :o I really love it 😅😂 Also Jeje’s being a more dangerous version of Mikuni’s “My Fair Lady” in the sense that it seems indiscriminate :o The people in the snake hood though xD

Sorry, the way Cappuccino and the other mafia member reached out at Nicco :’)

Sigurd! :D Knew he wasn’t dead, but it was still great seeing him.

Of course Nicco shot his hand to pull it off 😅 He had it so rough with Envy pair and the past few chapters though; first threatened and had “My Fair Lady” cast on him by Mikuni, had his Family held hostage, the whole thing with Ildio, shot by Jeje and now caught in Jeje’s ability qwq The guy needs a break :’)

Huh?? He’s hollow?? I saw the spoilers but to think that it was literal •_•

Knowing Tanaka-sensei, it ends on a “happy” note but I’m ready for next chapter to absolutely destroy us (if it doesn’t transition back to Mahiru, Kuro, Gear and Youtarou, but even if it does it probably would still be something)

Even so, really looking forward to next chapter to finding out more, the story really is something xD

More thoughts about Jeje coming soon 😅😂

[servamp-musings]

Hi hi!

This is Ani stealing Mu’s account just to post some random thoughts xD

So, what are the chances that as opposed to Jeje’s Eve losing their sanity over time, it’s the opposite with Mikuni? :3

We know that all his Eves had previously lost their sanity (presumably to envy) but Mikuni has yet to portray such characteristics. (tho he may be a little insane ajsvdjsskek)

Oh and also, this one may be a stretch but what if Mikuni andJeje are in a similar situation as to how part of Kuro is trapped in the rose. Rather than an item, part of Jeje’s demon becomes trapped in his Eve which causes them to lose sanity? Almost like a parasite. As most people have envy for others, the stronger the envy, the faster the demon devours the Eve. However, in Mikuni’s case, it is implied that most of his actions are completed with Misono in mind which contrasts against the demon. Hence Jeje may be losing his sanity more than mikuni :’) (though they are both still depleting in sanity ahdhdsks)

Anyways, enough spewing from me xD

Mu and I will have a mini announcement on the first week of Nov so stay tuned! >:3

Now, ima dip before Mu finds this xD
