I love the world of Valdemar so much. You can pry this universe from my cold, dead hands. Anyway, Vanyel is top tier sadboy but I love that he struggles so much with loneliness, loss, and his hazily defined bisexuality. Plus he got to make out with Death, so maybe he's actually winning.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Homophobia
Moderate: Death
Minor: Gore
No pedophiles present, but the assumption that many characters hold that gay men are also pedophiles.
