…i spent so long on this thing aaa

[lepetitloir]

Today I got volume 11 of Vanitas no Carte in French! I bought it specifically for chapters 58 and 59, so here are some thoughts and things I noticed!

I also bought a bag of roshen candy, it's bigger than the volume 😅 yum yum

First off: even if the special edition was also available, I wanted this one specifically because I liked the cover more :3 But the special edition has the sister Astolfo extra, so I do regret not buying that one a little bit 😔

A pattern in all the ki-oon manga I've bought is that under the jacket, the bonus is printed on the cover itself. Here we have sister Olivier!

I looooove that Olivier chibi head, he's so silly <3

The message from Jun Mochizuki reads: "Here is the first printed volume after a pause of almost 2 years. Thank you to all the readers who waited patiently! My new whim of the moment: I have an irrepressible desire to adopt a cat..."

The yellow text reads: "I want to live with a cat!"

And we get Charles! I am so grateful we have his official colours, I want to make so much fanart of him!

But onto what was most important to me: what's different in chapters 58 - 59 in the volume compared to the individual chapters?

Well, in this panel, Astolfo is added! (yay!)

And he gets a little exclamation mark in this one!

Also! Charles is added to this panel!!!

I think it's pretty cool!

I was hoping that some problems with the hands would be fixed in certain panels, but they didn't. Unfortunate, but I understand 🤷

I'm so used to the English translations that the French surprised me in some places! Unnamed vampire boy sounds more brutal for example: "You are the stupidest human that I've ever seen, it's to die of laughter from!!!" is so WILD WTH 😭 Astolfo is called "Astolphe" in the French edition. I already knew, but I had forgotten and it took me off guard when I read it.

A translation I like better in French compared to English: "Now then, what effect does this have?" (French) vs. "How do you feel now?" (English). I'm referring to the moment vampire boy is crouching next to Astolfo in the flashback after a child throws a stone at Astolfo. The French ("alors, quel effect ça fait?") *could* very well be translated to "what does it feel like?", and in fact that's what google translate gives me, but in a literal sense, he asks specifically for the effect the knowledge that his parents were killed by paladins has on Astolfo. It's... incredibly fitting...

A translation I like better in English compared to French: "They took from us, so we should take everything from them!" (English) vs. "The vampires didn't hesitate to steal everything I had!" (French). I think Astolfo tends to generelize his hatred and distance himself from it under the guise of "justice". In the Gévaudan arc, he corrected himself when saying "that's why I- we have to kill the vampires". I think the French is too direct here. Though, it does make it more obvious that it would be a fair deal to Astolfo. "They took everything from me, so I should take everything from them" once again shows how much he puts himself at the front of this, similarly to his "I have to kill all vampires, I have to be the one to do it" during Gévaudan.

And something I found funny was Marco calling himself "your good old Marco" XD

And finally, I was really looking forward to seeing this:

I really really love them.

I FINALLY DID IT!!!!!!

[heyabbyhello]

I needed a distraction and decided to read the Manacled fan fiction since everyone seems so obsessed with it…

…I finished all 77 chapters in three days lol

[petitprincegabriel]

You know, someone should ask the devil how their day went

I recently woke up and only now seeing this 😔

To answer the question, it was rather okay! There were a few bumps and bad moments, I just slowed down with Tumblr for the same reasons, butttt- I spent a few good hours with my partner so I'd say it was a day worth existing for!

THANK YOU for the ask, I truly appreciate it and giving you back the love for that! 🖤🖤🖤

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!

If any of you Astarion lovers out there want to know what it’s like to have everyone’s favourite sassy Vampire himself sleep beside you, I’d definitely suggest heading over to YouTube, for a ASMR video posted recently by HeleneTheCleric…it may have been posted 24 hours ago, but it’s already changed my life, making bedtime that much more blissful.

i started to watch FOUNDATION.

First of all, it’s not the kind of stuff i normally watch, i did it just because of Lee shame on me. I saw the first 3 episodes and now i need to talk about that one scene…

where Brother Day yells at this random guy and he literally dies on the spot…i mean i don’t really know if he’s dead but he definitely passed out and i can relate!!!

or the bedroom scene, where he tells the whore to touch him. damn!

And the plot, well…it reminds me a tiny bit of Star Wars because of the “empire” and the “resistance”. The whole clone thing is actually very interesting and touching but i hate too many time jumps, it’s confusing and exhausting. I don’t wanna use my brain ALL THE TIME.

But i keep watching. (for Lee)
