To start understanding VNC:
1- you don't trust anything Vanitas says or does;
2- you don't trust anything Noé says or does if involves Vanitas;
3- you don't trust anything you read since it's all Vanitas memories told by Noé.
I hope I've helped 👍🏻
So I just finished season 2 of arcane and...
We're all talking about the jayvik happy ending and how they are soulmates and etc. But aren't they supposed to die in the center of whatever the hexcore is going on. And even if they get out alive Viktor must die immediately because the hexcore doesn't supply his body anymore, right?
Seeing Aji-san voicing Hijikata in Blue Wolves of Mibu fuels my thing about Shinsengumi!Totomaru LMAO
HELP I HATE HOW I KEEP MASHING MY INTERESTS TOGETHER
While I haven't read the manga for Ao no Miburo, I have been a huge fan of Hakuouki for years now... So here goes nothing
Totomaru owes a lot to the Shinsengumi. Being a lowly ronin that he is, he was scouted by them and gave him a home and a purpose - to protect the bakufu.
But now that Japan is opening up its borders, their lives are slowly changing. The shogunate's hold on power is slowly weakening as it is, but Toto is determined to serve his role even if he's not particularly good at the sword. (He is, but he doesn't think too much of himself)
With the shogunate being in a panic, they began experimenting on how one could increase the physical strength of someone, and the Shinsengumi were the experimental subjects.
You could argue that the medicine worked, but unfortunately, it turned them into blood sucking monsters. They weren't called the Wolves of Mibu for nothing, but even then, he was determined to do his job that he has sworn to do, even if it was getting more and more of a chore to keep his own consciousness. He would end up repeatedly hurting himself to distract him from his own blood loss only to be disappointed that he would heal just almost immediately.
One day, Kondo himself called upon Toto, and assigned him a job. He was to keep tabs about this person named Ron Kamonohashi as he was being suspected of being an imperialist, and could be an instrument to completely destroy the shogunate, and his orders were if he were to suspect that Ron is against the shogun, he would have to kill him.
But Ron, as eccentric as he is, was actually an Oni - the original article on where he was based, and there was honestly no way to kill Ron. He's effectively immortal, except without the insane bloodlust that Totomaru is suffering from and Ron honestly doesn't give a fuck about the shogun nor the empire.
The same couldn't be said for his family, however. When the borders had opened, they managed to secure allegiances overseas and they were planning to control Japan from the shadows, and as Japan enters a state of upheaval, the two of them become friends then lovers as they both just try to live their not normal lives.
So it's like the assassin trope thing but you fall in love with your target LMAO
Also, drinking Ron's blood suppresses Toto's bloodlust.
Oh nothing, thinking about how Rio was a foreshadowing of how Viktor would be turned into a Thing caught between life and death because there was a man obsessed with keeping them alive.
Part Three!
Toto grew up in a deeply religious and conservative family.
His father was the founder and owner of the BLUE publishing house. He always kept everything strictly, which allowed him to keep the business going even in the most difficult times.
His mother was a simple housewife who was desperately trying to escape to a better life.
Toto was naive and kind from childhood. He forgave a lot, when he was fooled - he believed, he did not respond to evil with the same evil. His father never liked this, he wanted to raise a real man in him, ready to continue his publishing business. After all, their magazine collaborated with many politicians, and for this you need a calculating mind and a cold heart.
As a punishment, Toto was whipped on the calves. A place that no one would see, but which the boy himself never forgot.
His parents were killed in their own home. Toto was with them that evening, but he miraculously escaped - they simply didn't notice him in the closet. He was barely 7 years old at the time.
Toto still wears his father's suits, despite the fact that many of them had to be taken in, because he never grew to his father's height.
He hates his scars. He can't even look at his disfigured legs. But when Ron kisses them, gently pressing his lips to the scars, Toto can't hold back his tears, despite the fact that he didn't cry even when he got those scars.
