I have no idea if anybody else has posted about this but you guys remember Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle right? Okay so I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I keep thinking to myself about how similar Lily and Howl are
HEAR ME OUT HOLD ON I’VE GOT A COUPLE POINTS TO MAKE
Okay okay okay so first of all we gotta fucking talk about their appearance and I think it’s even more prominent in all of the Lily art after Strike’s art style notably changed. Like look at this shit??
Lily is strawberry blonde I think but y’know he’s technically a redhead and a blonde at the same time and Howl has been BOTH OF THOSE THINGS
I also firmly believe Lily would and should wear some of Howl’s clothes or adopt some of his fashion because THEY FIT HIM SO WELL I THINK (I even have an old drawing that I did about that that I might post eventually just to prove my point). But even then they already have similar fashion because they both like to wear pink and earrings and a necklace of sorts (I still consider the pocket watch as Lily’s necklace because of how he wears it)
There are so many things about them too that I honestly find to be REALLY FUCKING FUNNY
Remember the time that Howl had a temper tantrum and turned into slime because he got turned into a redhead and (according to him) not being at his top tier sexiness? I watched that scene I was like “Why do I feel like like Lily would do something like that” until I realized THAT HE TECHNICALLY DID IN I THINK VOLUME 2 WHEN HE WAS FIGHTING BERUKIA
I am still absolutely cackling over the fact that Berukia cut off a tiny bit of Lily’s hair, and as a result, Lily got so pissy that he was politely like “Oh you crossed the fucking line” and after beating the shit out of Belkia with his scythe and being like “that’s what you get for cutting my hair”, he ended up cutting off Berukia’s entire goddamn ponytail off-screen (I think he was the one that did that but correct me if I’m wrong)
Also if I'm correct the servamps can fly I think because how the fuck would Lily have gotten onto the top of that lamp post in volume 3 to do his gay little glitter gaslight gatekeep girlboss magic (let alone without falling) which means… technically Lily can do Howl’s sky walk if he got enough practice with it
The main summary of this post is that if I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen a blonde magical man with shoulder-length hair who likes pink and wears earrings and a necklace throw an extreme tantrum over his hair I’d have two nickels
Okay somebody explain to me why there are not one but TWO wikihow articles on how to be Light Yagami
One is how to cosplay him and one his how to imitate him
I don’t even know how to feel about this one
When Jeje’s bags come off he’s gonna pull up like this
Im SO scared of the possibility that when Jeje's bag comes off it's gonna reveal he doesnt have bangs and we're all gonna get blasted with a bare naked forehead
Servamp has an entire catalogue of things I would want in a manga, including but not limited to
Gay people
Vampires
Gay vampires
Women that can kick ass
Vampire women that can kick ass
Malewives
Possibly neurodivergent folks
Trans icons
Short kings
Dilfs
The fucking mafia
Copyright-addressed franchise names
A surprising amount of Roombas
Just the right amount of emotional damage
I love Servamp so much but if Strike draws Lily in butterfly form again or re-uses the same birthday picture of him that they’ve been using for more than five years I’m going to be ever so slightly upset due to the fact that he’s my favorite and I want to see his face and it’s even more rare to see Lily in the new art style… Yes I do think he’s been very heavily neglected and he deserves more content
With proper evidence and analysis, I have a theory….. and I spent time fact-checking this analysis (since I originally I figured this out a couple of months back). My findings tell me that Licht’s Nintendo DS is a Nintendo DSi.
For reference, here is what Licht’s DS looks like:
In order to narrow down our answers, first we have to figure out: which ones were already released during the events of Servamp?
From what I can best guess, the events of the C3 arc and everything up until chapter 118 takes place in August of 2012? From what I know, Servamp (or at least the Japanese release of it) was originally released in November of 2011, and the main story’s technology seemed to line up with the technology present in real life at the time. For the most part, it’s easy to find details that point out the date or present spot on the calendar while reading but…. with years, not so much. Also, I can’t find very much on how much of a time skip there was before or after volume 4. However, I do know that on August 31st, 2012, there actually was a full moon, just like what is supposed to happen in the manga (mentioned in chapter 100 I believe, where Tsurugi was discussing with Mahiru some information he learned from Touma). Going with this information, I will be using the estimate for the current events of the manga, which will help us narrow down what generations of Nintendo DS were released before late August 2012.
Here are the ones that I could find that fit in the time frame:
Nintendo DS (November 2004)
Nintendo DS Lite (June 2006)
Nintendo DSi (November 2008)
Nintendo DSi XL (November 2009)
Nintendo 3DS (March 2011)
Nintendo 3DS XL (July 2012)
Now what I did next with this was analyze the shape of each of these DS models and eliminate any of them without the rectangular shape of Licht’s DS. Due to their far rounder edges and overall thicknesses, I eliminated the Nintendo DS and the Nintendo 3DS XL as a possibility. Now, that leaves us with the Nintendo DSLite, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL, and the Nintendo 3DS.
Here is where I thought I reached a crossroad. I thought to myself, “What else is there? What else can I use to differentiate them?”
And then, in a moment of astute observance, I had a realization. I could investigate the volume control.
Right off the bat, I knew I could eliminate the Nintendo DSLite. That is due to the fact that the volume control on Licht’s DS is a set of two buttons, placed on the left side of the DS. On the Nintendo DSLite, however, the volume control is a slider on the bottom of the device. Also, I was able to eliminate the Nintendo 3DS, because although its volume control is on the side of the device, it comes in the form of a slider.
Now, I’m left with the Nintendo DSi and the Nintendo DSi XL. From what I found, the main difference between the two is the size of the screen. Considering that I found that Licht’s DS is drawn with a notably smaller screen, I don’t think that is could have been the XL version.
And now…. that means we’ve finally reached the last possible option. The only DS that could have fit the requirements by the date and the DS features…. is the DSi model. Therefore, I believe that Licht Jekylland Todoroki’s Nintendo DS model is the Nintendo DSi.
Do with this what you will and thank you for reading through my absolutely bonkers analysis/theory/headcanon/ramble
Hi folks I have but a small gift to offer you all. Please enjoy this picture of Lily with short hair that I made
Throwback to the time I started reading Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and then I read this
and honestly that’s almost exactly how I first described Hyde in volume 5 of Servamp as much as I hate to say it
Cackles
Look at the resemblance between these two I find this incredibly funny
Their stances on classical music are vastly different but yeah
I think I know where I’ve seen this before
Oddly enough yeah this right here is what I thought of
