The Celibate Vampire (Part 2) // Ranking Cards

═══

"No Matter How Many Times..." (Leonardo)

"Hey... You like it when I bully you, don't you? Your body says so, you know. ...Very well; How about I'll tease you to bits tonight?" "You're not being honest. At times like this, when those lips of yours say 'Don't', or 'No'... it's merely to cover up your embarrassment. So... let's give in?" "Haah... No matter how many times I take you, it's not enough... You're a terrifying one; Terrifyingly... adorable."

"I Want You" (Vlad)

"Both my body, and yours... are terribly hot. When our skin presses together like this, I hope that we can truly become one..." "Hey, face me... I want to feel you more deeply— I want you." "Discard your reason, your common sense, your shame— Discard every piece of your 'everyday' self, and lose yourself to me. ...I shall fill you with me."

"When Your Eyes Tear Up Like That..." (Count)

"How about you show me where you like to be touched? (kisses) Here... (kisses)... and here, right? It seems I've hit the mark, hm?" "You are a sensitive one, so... you must already be on the verge of torment, no? Ah, when your eyes tear up like that... (kisses)... That face, it rouses me so." "If you cannot suppress your voice... I shall block it for you... (kisses)... Thus, you may cry out to your heart's desire. And as you do, let me lust for you even more..."

Happy Holidays! been engaged w/ other hobbies for the past... half yr, sorry. maybe ill do a lil smth smth this holiday hmm

a lazy photoset. wouldve been better if i actually had the group card (used the in-game visual here), but im not the type to pay 8.5k yen on a bad event value item set. not saying im better than ppl who did; i am the type of person who paid 4.5k to secure top 100 so i just have brainrot in a diff way

the event itself was mid. the avatars were very cute. the stories were stories that were written. id vent further but i dont want this post to get lengthy lol

(please credit if you post/use these anywhere! ty!)

[corpiote]

charles route spoiler (not really for anything that happens in it though, just a small piece of info)

pre-relationship charles "taking care of his clients" (sleeping with them) -> jealous, possessive mc

mc kills last client he slept with -> charles finds out

mc begs him not to leave them, promising never to do it again if he doesn't

4th one is talking abt what he thought it was b4 his route ending (tho it doesn't fully aline he could twist it that way)

[astrxealis]

Fun Facts abt the residents according to Ikevamp Radio (ヴァンなま) Part 1

Found a playlist of Ikevamp Radio that occurred multiple years ago so I decided to collect my findings about the residents in a list. I haven't seen anyone translate it or talk abt it so I decided to do it for a bit of fun. Anyways, here are episodes 1-3!!

Some quick things to note before:

Vincent/Aramaki Yoshihiko (Makki) is the MC, Sebas/Morishima Shuta (Morishi) is a guest (but he’s in every episode he might as well be the 2nd MC). They also have other people as guests in some episodes (other ikevamp VAs or others related to the game itself)

Episodes 1 & 2 occur before Ikevamp’s release

most of my findings are from a segment from the livestream where the residents (mainly Vincent and Sebas) talk to each other & ask each other questions about the lives while they spend some bonding time in the thermae. The segment's called "I love yu" which is a pun on "I love you" and yu (湯) which means "hot water" or "bath"

There are also other segments where the VAs draw based on a designated theme & the viewers vote on the best art (van Gogh's drawing section), and another one where the VAs read the summary of the game in their in-character voices (but the VAs interrupt and make it funnier & less romantic) called "Ikemen Vampire, a guidance for you" (I won't talk abt these sections much tho)

ALSO!! This is not a translation of the whole livestream, just bits and pieces of it. I don't have the time and energy to do that

Episode 1: feat. Leonardo's VA Tsuda Kenjiro

Question: Which historical figure/genius do you respect the most?

Napoleon: Oda Nobunaga

Mozart: Johann Sebastian Bach

Leonardo: Michelangelo (which I thought was interesting since real-life Leo and Michelangelo had some beef w each other)

Morishima (Sebas’s VA): Newton (bc of the apple & theory of universal gravitation), Edison

Tsuda (Leonardo’s VA): van Gogh

Aramaki (Vincent’s VA): Liu Bei, Zhao Yun (I think that's who he was talking abt? I'm not familiar much w/Chinese figures' names in jp---they're read differently in Eng)

The other VAs joke that Aramaki’s similar to Napo in the sense that they both admire soldiers/military commanders

Question: Favorite part of a woman’s body? (This sounds so wrong in both jp & eng)

Napoleon: from the neck to the shoulder, he's prob talking abt the shoulders to the neckline or vice versa（首から肩まで）

Mozart: voice (so he can understand what his partner’s thinking & feeling)

Leonardo: thighs (bc it’s soft & he likes lap pillows)

Tsuda said Leo’s a bit of a pampered/attention-seeking child (甘えん坊), and not an ore-sama (which he thought Leo would be), an unexpectedly cute reason considering how reliable Leo looks

Vincent gets a bit sad when he’s bathing alone

Leo can sing a song that he’s only heard once (as expected of a genius)

Sebas can be seen hanging the sheets outside from Vincent’s room

Leo’s unsatisfied that there’s only men in the mansion (this was before MC stumbled to the mansion)

Vincent doesn’t want women in the mansion bc he wouldn’t know how to act in front of them

Sebas thinks Leo is an expert in handling women, Leo is confused when he became one

Leo’s weak against Vincent’s pleas/suggestions (honestly who isn’t??)

Sebas thinks it’s impossible for a woman to stumble upon the mansion (foreshadowing)

Leo thinks that fate will play a trick on them, his mumbling confuses Vincent and Sebas (more foreshadowing)

Episode 2: feat. Jun, singer of Ikevamp theme song "Rouge"

Jun is a repairman who fixes things around the mansion… HE'S ALIVE IN THAT ERA???? (Idk if its canon)

He also sings “Rouge” while he works which means the song exists in the 20th century (again idk how much of this is canon)

Jun also sells milk in the mansion, acting as a different person as the repairman, although Sebas & Vincent are suspicious of him (he literally just enters the bath to sell milk to Vincent and Sebas lol)

Vincent and Sebas talk about MC, she has arrived @ the mansion

Vincent worries abt her since she is surrounded by vampires in an unfamiliar environment, but to Sebas, it looks like MC enjoys her life and is headstrong (aka Vincent is just nice to others, nothing new)

Vincent believes that Sebas is cool and can do anything, to which Sebas indirectly disagrees (he coughs)

Sebas is weak to Vincent’s innocent eyes (just like Leo from the previous episode, again, who isn't?)

Sebas breaks the 4th wall talking abt a popular romance game where you can fall in love w/vampire-turned historical figures

This is literally the beginning of how Sebas goes ooc (becomes weirder) throughout the series (is it even ooc if it’s basically approved by official??)

Sebas says that Theo is overprotective of Vincent, Vincent comments that he’s supposed to be the older one

they also introduce my fav segment (Can you tell me... your name?) where they have listeners vote on quotes they want the VAs to say, and they will say the line w/the listener’s names so it sounds like the VAs are speaking to them. Vincent's & the guest (if there is one) will have legit cool lines (like “(y/n), Don’t let go of me” or “(y/n), you’re the only one in my eyes”) but Sebas always has one funny line as one of his options (ex. “Hey, do you wanna have a takoyaki party?” or “Do you want to fry one more sanma?”) and every single time the weird line gets voted and ITS FUNNY AS HECK

Also in the same segment the viewers will sometimes submit funny names for the VAs (especially Sebas) to say & it adds to the laughs

Ex. for Sebas’s “Hey, do you wanna have a takoyaki party?” some viewers gave names of Anpanman characters (a children’s anime in Japan) so Sebas will literally say things like “Jam-ojisan, hey, do you wanna have a takoyaki party?”

There was also one whose name was Tako (octopus in japanese) so Sebas would say “Tako, do you wanna have a takoyaki party?” so he’s asking the octopus to have a takoyaki party where the octopus will be eaten (the irony as well as the dark underlying meaning behind it is very funny)

Also the way the other people are laughing while Sebas’s VA is trying to keep his cool is so hilarious

It’s predetermined and agreed upon the Ikevamp staff that Sebas (or Morishi) is willing to do/say weird things for the audience

This whole segment is a whole ride in and out of itself

Episode 3: feat. Leonardo’s VA Tsuda Kenjiro once again

Sebas once again breaks the 4th wall by referencing episode 1 of the show

Sebas teaches Leo the basics of manzai (a type of japanese comedy)

Leo says “Vannama” (the name of ikevamp radio) and “tendon” (the food and a manzai phrase)  in a weird accent further proving that he doesn’t understand Japanese (or maybe it's bc the two phrases are too specific idk)

Sebas tells Leo to ignore what he’s saying as he is saying metafictional expressions (メタ発言) basically how he is breaking the 4th wall, and Leo just accepts that as another one of Sebas’s quirks

Vincent comments that Leo’s very manly, Sebas further compliments him saying that Leo is a man amongst men

This episode has one of the funniest (imo) “Can you tell me… your name?” segments ever. Vincent and Leo’s VAs had amazing lines, but Sebas… oh gosh where do I even start. (ok Leo’s VA did say “Ushi (cow), wait for me by the bed,” and “Namamono (raw food), wait for me by the bed” & that was funny too but…)

One of the options for Sebas’s lines (and the one that was ultimately chosen to be said) was “Do you want to fry one more sanma (a type of seasonal fish eaten in fall)?” and the viewers got crazy with this one.

There were some legit names but most were for jokes, choosing names going along with the theme of fall foods and creatures (tuna, matsutake, karaage, grasshoppers, etc.)

There was “Akashiya, sanma mouipikki yaku?”(Akashiya, do you want to fry one more sanma?) which was the funniest one. Akashiya Sanma is a very famous Japanese comedian and it’s very genius of the viewer to connect the person with the food. I laughed straight for like 10 min when I first listened to this (I still laugh just remembering it. The double-entendre!!!)

Literally any episode with Tsuda is chaotic (this isn’t the last time where he shows up)

At the end of the episode, Vincent’s VA couldn’t stop laughing and messed up his lines multiple times (I don’t blame him everything is just so funny)

[maladaptivedaydreamsx]

when I tell you the ikevamp gacha sucks.... I mean it. 75 pulls and only one 5 star, and maybe, if even, 10 new cards... and more than enough stamps to last a lifetime.... and I STILL couldn't manage to get any new Charles cards or even the bday 4⭐ even with the guaranteed tokens...

Ikemen Vampire (w/ Animate) - Digital Archive rambling

mm sorry i have been posting nothing. but the few mobile games ive been playing are very uhhh unimpressive in output. ill try to translate stuff i found mildly amusing tho if that interests y'all but u see today im powered with annoyance. the most empowering emotion when it comes to getting stuff done

so cybird decided to make a “digital archive” on animate for a crisp ~1500 yen. the description was kinda vague (+ i dont have the ikesen one, which i think exists? idk idc) so i was curious. iirc there were “deluxe” preorder vers with acryl stands, while this basic preorder one comes with a sheet of glossy paper. u can purchase the code by itself the day of release, so idk wtf they were thinking. dawg i spent $30 USD to ship this bc i timed my forwarding shipments poorly sigh

a “digital archive” according to whoever set this up is just a lazy online artbook. if you like full body shots this is fine (...doesn’t have all of them), otherwise it’s kinda garbage. ig there’s a niche for it, as ikevam downgraded the quality of the character portraits in-game a yr or so ago, but lol man they couldn’t even provide all of the story CGs. don’t see the point in making the former a secret anymore as all of the main stories are 3+ yrs old and said art is used for public promo anyway i was curious if they’d provide all of Galileo’s emotion portraits (since the smile one hasn’t been seen in HD yet) but they conspicuously left out all the ones we haven’t seen. they don’t even provide shots of jeanne’s uncovered face....... the most important lesson was remembered today. never get emotionally attached to a GaaS

idk if u wanna pay a few bucks to look at legs, feet, and backgrounds they’ve got u covered tho

[natimiles]

Went to a bookstore recently & when I found books by the residents I just stopped moving for a sec & was really tempted to buy whatever book I can find by them (I did end up buying Conan Doyle's book & another book I was looking for w my gift card) whatever ikevamp is doing to increase my curiosity abt historical figures is working (it also doesn't help that I was a fan of Conan Doyle's works before I discovered ikevamp...)

It's funny how we start to look at them from another point of view, HASIUEHASIUEA. I know they changed lots of things from their real lives to the game, but it's still nice to look at something they did.

I never read Sherlock or any of Arthur's works 🥹 Well, I read 1 poem he wrote about Shakespeare to put it in my facts post... Does that count? HAUISEHASUIHESA. And the only Sherlock thing I watched was Enola Holmes 🥹

But yes, it's funny how they make me want to know more about them and history too! Even though half of them were kinda jerks in real life *stares at Shakespeare running from his family*

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

actually i’m not done . thinking abt leonardo ikevamp and how all he yearns for is companionship in his lonely immortal existence but he Refuses to turn you into a vampire because he knows how isolating it is . thinking abt how mc practically begs him to turn her but he doesn’t. and then later when he’s asked about their argument all he says is that he made her cry . with this sad apologetic smile . i need to save him so fucking bad

[dove-da-birb]

~ Love Languages of My Ikevamp OCs ~

William Chaloner

Giving

Physical Affection; but not like hand holding, more so ruffling your hair and poking you on the nose. He gives a more casual version of it, and shoots a wink afterwards. This is regardless of if it's platonic or not.

Gift Giving; He owns a boutique, so if he like likes you he will gift you any item you've been staring at or even mention liking. He gives a soft smile before granting you a pretty floral box with the clothing folded neatly with a handwritten card.

Receiving

Words of Affirmation; he hardly hears it, so if you may just make him malfunction if you give him a sincere compliment. Will stumble over his words and stare at you with wide eyes.

Physical Affection; turns into putty if you play with his hair. And if you tease him back? Oh, he's suddenly pink, very pink. Also very touch-starved and likes being the little spoon if you cuddle.

Antonio Salieri

Giving

Quality Time; he enjoys spending time with you and makes sure to schedule time away from the bakery and his practice so he can spend time with you. He enjoys the quiet moments, where the two of you aren't rushing and are just enjoying each other's compnay.

Acts of Service; he will go out of his way to do something for you. You've been looking tired? He has a candlelit bath ready for you? You mention you like a certain pastry? He made a dozen that afternoon.

Receiving

Quality Time; it means a lot if you spend time with him, especially if you're busy. It could be as simple as reading a book together in silence, to enjoying a meal at the local restaurant together.

Gift Giving; he isn't used to gifts, and would be caught off guard if you gave him one out of the blue. It doesn't matter what it is, he is keeping it forever; because it reminded you of him.

Sigmund Freud

Giving

Words of Affirmation; he knows when something is wrong, and reassuring you is second nature. He knows several languages and will tell you all the wonderful things he thinks about you in them with a wink.

Parallel Play; he mirrors and learns about your hobbies, and your love languages. He believes that by participating in a loved one's interests makes you closer. Plus he likes seeing that smile on your face.

Receiving

Parallel Play; he's very touched that you'd want to learn about his interests. He's putting aside the psychology aspect of it away for now, since you decided that yes, you wanted to mirror him.

Physical Touch; but the super soft kind. The hugs from behind kind. The gently holding each other as you dance in the kitchen listening to an old record kind. Kisses on the forehead kind.

@krenenbaker [since you seem invested as well]

[scummy-writes]

I think you're cool and your fics are good and you have some really good takes on Ikevamp!! I'm just too shy to actually talk to you fpewpojw

Aw thank you!! I am happy you've been enjoyin my fanfics! Also happy to hear i have good takes. I miss talkin about the games in depth a lot, especially ikevamp. I hope it picks up again soon.

Sorry abt the shyness, but feel free to at least reach out on anon!

[lukkabloom]

Imagine if ikevamp residents actually used telephones tho… The shenanigans the residents will be exposed to. I'm sure Comte would have one since he's rich. maybe he'll have one at Will's house too

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS

maybe Comte'll call Will every once in a while but their conversation ends up taking hours bc it'll end up being a one-sided conversation with Comte talking 99% of the time and Will not knowing how to end conversations (since Comte is so polite and everything).

or every time Vincent hangs out at Will's house, Theo will call up Will from the manor. After Will gets used to this, he'll learn the best and fastest way to finish calls with Theo. It'll be like:

- Theo: "Shakespeare" - Will: "Good morning, younger brother. Yes, Vincent is with me. We had planned to view a play today. Oh, he seems to be calling me. Til morrow, brother" cuts call - Theo's so pissed

telephone boxes are yet to be popularized at this time (according to my quick google search) so the residents probably can't prevent any of their route-exclusive-vampire-past-incidents from occurring

maybe if the castle trio also has a telephone, there could be some blackmailing/manipulation via calls

ok not completely related, but I feel like Dazai would one day make a tin can telephone. Like Arthur would find one outside his room, with the string connected to the inside. He won't be able to go in (it's locked from the inside) so he'll have to communicate with Dazai (who is inside) via tin can. Of course, this is Dazai we're talking abt and he'll probably leave the room from the window, sometime later, preventing anyone from going in. He'll get a scolding from Comte, probably. (totally did not get this idea from that one Promised neverland scene... yea totally....)
