Vnc Mikhail - Blog Posts

The Mikhaels, I guess?

vnc mikhael was subjected to horrifying abuse, and before the vampire of the blue moon (luna) rescued him, he did not have any idea of what a family was supposed to be. he simply clung to the nearest sane person he could at the time i.e. vanitas. once he did get a taste of "home", it was almost immediately snatched away from him. he is one who desperately wishes to find a place to belong (as seen by his insistence on returning things to how they used to be) and yet one who is forced to wander the world alone.

hsr mikhael, however, feels like someone born for greatness. adopted by legendary seafarers, discovered his passion for watchmaking while working as an apprentice, and ultimately joined the express to roam the world. the one true symbol of freedom. and yet, at the end, he chose to stay back in penacony, chose to bind himself to a planet because he was simply that desperate to save it. one who was destined to wander yet found a place to belong to.

both vnc mikhael and hsr mikhael have a close connection to the word "Father". vnc mikhael is attached to the word as a kid himself, using the term with affection for luna, showcasing that he is still stuck in childhood, still stuck in the early stages of his life unravelling on stage. hsr mikhael has moved from attaching the word to his father, his inspiration, and actually been bestowed the title "Father of Penacony" for himself. it signifies his story has run it's course, he has come full circle.

another thing is, their nicknames. misha. they both hold equally special positions in their own way. vnc mikhael is referred to as misha by luna, a loving nickname that has warmth connected to it. hsr mikhael has a fragment of his memories which form the misha we are familiar with, representing his childhood dreams. though both of them are different, they are also quite similar in the sense that the nicknames and the circumstances in which they are used carry a sweet, sweet innocence.

i dunno, as someone in both fandoms i was delighted by them sharing names and even appearances to a certain extent, and then even more intrigued by the parallels they share. i think they're very neat :)
