Traceability: the ability to chronologically interrelate uniquely identifiable entities in a way that is verifiable Trace: (v) to find or discover by investigation; (n) a mark, object or other indication of the existence or passing of something -- [ a post-Skyfall James Bond and Q-centric series ] In which James Bond continues his work as a Double-O agent with a new reckless streak and Q is ever the voice in his earpiece, the supplier of his equipment and an anchor back to MI6. This is a series of interconnected stories on the development of Bond and Q's relationship - as individuals and professionals who take note of and fixate on each other after the Silva incident, who grow close to each other in increments

until they eventually become a very important feature in each other's lives. Duty - and soon after, trust - is what binds them. Love, possibly, comes after. - did i read 73k of pre-slash and it was perfect, beautiful and made me cry somewhere between the 50 and the 60k? yes i did. and so you should.

Top 3 characters (from any media/fandom) you relate to and, if you want, why?

Not sure if these are the ultimate top 3 ever for me but just the ones that came to mind when I started to properly think about it today:

Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables)

Beth March (Little Women)

Lara Jean Song Covey (To All the Boys I've Loved Before)

More about why underneath!

Anne - where to start; she's a complete daydreamer which as someone who spends way too much time obsessing over fictional characters and just fangirling in general I hard relate. I also have such a tendency to be lost in my own world and not really pay attention/notice what's going on around me in the real world and just am very much someone who is stuck in their own head. She's also very imaginative and I feel like I really enjoy imagining scenarios for characters I like or media I've consumed a lot. She also strives for perfection at school and to be the best she can; as someone who loved school and probably cared about academic validation (and still care) too much I can relate to her there. The main reason though which is why she came to mind here is to do with Anne of the Island (the third book) so mild spoilers here. Anne loves love and is a hopeless romantic and refuses to settle for anything less than what she's imagined romance to be from the romance books she's read. In AoI she really struggles to actually figure out what romantic love is and what the reality of it feels like vs the expectation built up in her head from media. Just her whole experience with this in the book really resonated with me: I'm such a hopeless romantic and love reading about love but I find it really hard to actually understand and know my own feelings about people around me irl - what does it actually feel like to like someone romantically?? Do I fancy someone or just like them platonically? Have I built up the idea of romance in my head so much that when I actually experience/come across it, I won't realise? I also have a tendency like Anne to refuse to examine my feelings (even though I crave romance so much when I might actually be having a crush or something I just can't admit that to myself or actually try determine how I feel??) Anyways yeah just Anne's whole arc in the third book about what love actually is in practice and the hardships of realising that and understanding and admitting your feelings is something I feel on a very personal level. I don't think I see myself 100% as Anne in every aspect but this makes me relate to her a lot.

Beth - this is going to be a Beth defence post lol; Beth was always the March sister that I related to the most. As a kid especially, (but still very much true now) I cared so much about being a good and nice person, I always want to try to be good and to be as kind as possible. Like literally if I make a joke that's slightly mean even if I'm just teasing I will feel Bad and worry that I'm not being nice and therefore is part of why trying to be funny kinda stresses me out sometime. I was very much a goody-goody two-shoes as kid and still am very much a stickler for rules and all that. Because of that I felt a fierce fondness for Beth who tried her best to always be kind and good and also could be very anxious about all this (I was a very anxious child, who has also grown up to be an anxious adult, yay!). It's also really hard to be kind and good all the time so I admired for for always trying. I know a lot of people find Beth boring and think she's too good, and therefore that that makes her uninteresting. I hate this narrative!! We tell kids, be nice and try your best to be good, but not too good cos then you'll be boring and no one will like you and I hate that. I was that anxious little girl that desperately wanted and tried her best to be as good as possible, always feeling like I was failing and tripping up, never being as good as I possibly could have, but also worried about being perceived as then boring and bland and no fun at all. This is why I will fiercely defend Beth; she's just trying her best to be the kind of person society tells her she ideally should be and when she does that, there's no winning, there's always a hidden goalpost or something that you can't see. I feel like in the books, we don't really get to see Beth from her perspective, only through everyone else's eyes and how they deem her perfect, without actually getting the reality of the anxieties and worries she feels like any other human being. Everyone sees her to be perfect, so they dismiss the actual struggles she faces and how hard she tries to be good and what goes into choosing kindness every time. Just because someone is kind it does not mean that is inherent and that they never feel differently. Kindness is a choice and the people perceived as good put a lot of effort into choosing to act like that, all the time. TDLR Beth's goodness did not come to her easier than her sisters, she simply cared about it so much that she made it her priority to always strive for. There's more I could say about some experiences I've had that have made me relate to Beth but going to stop here cos it's already so long.

Lara Jean - okay last one whew. This one is kinda similar to Anne. Lara Jean is a teenage girl who loves romance but never (before the start of the books) has acted on her feelings; there's this conversation she has with Peter in the first book: she loves romance but she's never dated before and she admits that when it's real, that's scary. It's fun to watch films and read books and watch characters fall in love and spend your time thinking about romance but when it's actually happening to you, you don't know how to feel or act and it can feel overwhelming. Just love being scary when it's real... this is exactly how I feel, you suddenly don't have control like you do when reading a story and the possibility of getting hurt is so real. I just agree with Lara Jean, thinking about love is fun but when it's real it's scary! Also I feel like she's the kinda teenage girl I was.

Ok, It's Not Red. So What?

"Oh, It's Not Red" continuation

Welcome to the third part of my posts regarding Mochijun-sensei's official VnC artworks. This is just a continuation of the 2nd part (there will be no artworks to be discussed). I will just share some absurd ideas that I came up with after my realization (some may already be out there). If there's any chance that you stumbled to the prior post and decided to continue. I salute you brave warriors that assume I would mention anything that makes any sense. To those who have no time to read a post that only talked about Murr's eye color. Here's a summary: I realized Murr's right eye is not red.

Curious as to how did I come to this conclusion? Check it out here: Oh, It's Not Red (You may not read the first part as it isn't related to this. But if you want to, it's here: Regarding some of VnC Artwork this title is so uncreative)

As usual, a friendly reminder that best in writing is an award I never received. I'm not the person who could analyze, explain, or theorize things clearly. Please bear that in mind while reading. Photos are not mine, of course. Also, spoiler alert to be safe

Now that it's all said and done. Let's go ahead and talk about Murr.

By this time, we already know who is Murr. And I think we all agree that the cat is not just a cute mascot of the series. I bet that he would be a game-changer (yes, I'm putting Murr on a high pedestal). The question is: What do you think of Murr's role in the story?

After spending hours and hours of reading here and there, the common theories I found are:

1. Murr is Sensei (The Shapeless One)

Sensei is an observer. And where is the best place to observe? It's beside your subject of interest. Also, as his title suggests, he is shapeless, so maybe he could shapeshift into anything he wants. This sounds probable but, I do not lean on this much for two reasons.

Personal preference. If this is true, Sensei is weird, not terrifying. I mean, instead of doing scary and shady affairs during his free time, he decided to be a cat just to watch Noé.

Look at the image below closely.

Did you found Murr? No? Take a closer look at Louis. At first, I thought he was just reading, but his book has a weird shape. Where did I see that again? Oh, right.

Not yet satisfied? See this panel from the manga. This is after the first image's scene.

(Grandpa obviously has his favorites)

I think the cat Louis' holding is Murr. Thus, there's a panel where Sensei and Murr are together. That's the second reason I'm skeptical about this theory, folks.

Well, we also don't know. Maybe grandpa killed the cat so he could disguise himself as one.

2. Murr is a spy camera of Grandpa De Sade

It's a simple one. The theory goes like this: Murr's right eye connects to Sensei in whatever way. This panel is what inspires this theory:

(This cat really is suspicious, I bet he is one of the puppet masters of this arc along with Sensei)

This theory is what I'm more inclined to believe. I suppose the cat is working under/with Grandpa for their grand schemes. So, of course, he would report to Sensei the events that took place. Whether he is using his right eye or whatever means it is.

Going to my personal thoughts...

I guess that Murr was a kin of the vampire of the blue moon. He used the power too much, and thus he was rewritten from the inside. Alas, Murr became a cat! Why is he heterochromatic, tho?

Ok, kidding aside, there are two ideas I want to share.

1. Possibly Twins

Mochijun-sensei dropped the bomb in chapter 46. She gave us the idea that the theme of twins would be relevant in the story. Here is the page where Veronica mentioned the thing about twins:

Then three chapters later when Misha forced Noé to drink his blood and reveal his memory. Mochijun-Sensei dropped another bomb.

After seeing this, we speculated that Faustina and Luna are twins. I love that thought. Just imagine how complex the relationship it would be between the two. But if we think about it. What if this is just a misdirection? First, Mochijun-sensei makes us aware that the subject of twins is somewhat important. And while that information is still fresh in our memory, she dropped another bomb and told us that the blue vampire and the queen looked alike. Mochijun-sensei set this up so that we could connect the two easily.

All we know is that: Vampire twins are a symbol of bad luck, and Luna looks like Faustina. This is just me overthinking things, but what's life without competition. So, let's add three more names to the list that could be a set of twins.

Murr and Luna: Because why not? His left eye is blue. Also, Luna's left eye was never shown in the series. It's always hidden by her hair, maybe it's a different color.

Noé and Luna: Let's just say he is older than the series claimed him to be. Noé's memory started on the day that it snowed. I believe that Mochijun-sensei is keeping the timeline vague since it would reveal too much information. I mean, we don't know how long time passed from the day Noé was found by the old couple to the day Sensei brought him to the castle in the forest. Keep in mind that the vampire's growth differs for each person, as well.

Also, is the story the Noé and Sensei told trustworthy?

(How kind are this kidnappers that the kid was not traumatized? Also what's with the injuries. I don't much about slave trading in VnC world. But, if you're going to sell something you don't want it to have visible damage right. Sorry if the comparison sounds offending)

As far as I could tell, Sensei is shady, like really. Noé's memory is also not reliable. After all, someone out there may have the ability to manipulate memories. What if Noé was was born ages ago and was induced to sleep for a long time for whatever reasons?

Going back to Noé and Luna. Mochijun-sensei is giving us subtle hints of his association with Luna. I only saw Luna from one chapter, but I could say they are somewhat similar aside from the hair and skin(?) color (I will make a list later if I still have of time on hand).

(Child Noé and Luna both have similar haistyle, they have the "lid" as Mochijun-sensei called it. Their eyes are different tho')

Go on, read chapter 49, you'll see what I mean. Also, take note that at some panels (especially the ones where Noé is feeling extreme emotions), Noé's left eye was hidden by his hair or something. Who else out there that we don't see her left eye? Yup, the vampire of the blue moon (I have a weird feeling about Noe's left eye that I will share later) To conclude this, I think that Noé was not from this era. He is actually from the past and preserved in whatever way from whatever reason. And maybe he is actually the twin brother of Luna, seeing that they have a resemblance.

For now, I won't say that he's a reincarnation of Luna (I may change my mind later) as the timeline doesn't coincide. Besides, human Vani's reaction when Misha told him that there's a way to revive Luna is intense. Meaning he wants Luna to stay dead. I also believe that human Vani is hiding "something" he knows about Noé. So if Noé's a reincarnated Luna, there's no way human Vani would stay with him.

Murr and Noé

If you saw my previous post. I convinced myself that Murr's right eye's color is violet (the same shade as Noé's). That's why I decided to include them here. I have no definitive reasoning aside from their eye color and how Murr treated Noé in the series.

In the meantime, I'll write the scenario in my head. What if Murr and Noé are twins. Something happened when they were young, and so they were separated. Noé was somewhere we don't know yet, while Murr encountered Vampire Vanitas and Grandpa DeSade. Then the rest is history.

I swear I didn't expect it to be this long, at any rate, this would be to be continued here: Ok, It's Not Red. So What? (continuation)

Note: This is just a random theory, thoughts, assumptions, and/or head-canons. I wrote this to indulge my over-thinking self. Thank you for taking the time to read and understanding if I made any mistakes or post whatever it is you don’t agree on.
