I ALL THE THINGS I'VE SHOULD DONE• 🔅

Alucard x reader

Summary: You are pregnant with your first born with Alucard and he has been overprotective over you, but during one night he a jerk tries to assault you. Alucard and your friends kick his ass.

Warnings: angst, SA mentions, abortion mentions, violence, jealousy at Greta, pregnancy, crying (but ends up with fluff), my bad grammar and text similar to a 12 years old's writting fanfic (english is not my first language) and bad dialogues.

Note: month of the three milks is may in medieval calendar, puiuţ is a nickname romanian parents call their babies and it means baby chicken. Most of the titles of my fics are based on Kate Bush's songs or song quotes. This one is taken from This Woman's Work

You were so excited taking care of Sypha and Trevor's baby. With his mother's big blue eyes and his father's jet hair, he was the cutest thing in the world. Everyday, your heart beated faster to the thought of having a child of your own with Adrian; a little baby to light up your lives and bring joy to that enormous castle again, but it took months for you to start trying for it. There are too many children around, the village orphans would be jealous if we had a baby. You would squash off the idea to yourself with a silly excuse. Actually, you feared having a child would have a reverse effect. Alucard was still mentally fragile and you rememberer his breakdown nights, where he wouldn't close his eyes to sleep until the sunrise. But one day it happened, and when it happened you and Adrian couldn't contain the happiness, though your hearts were still full of doubts.

Immediatly you started to work on your unborn's room, asking the villagers carpenters to reform Adrian's childhood bedroom and redo the furniture just like the way he remebered, since it all was destroyed during that last fight. All except that little wolf plushie which you storaged in the wardrobe. Alucard was surprised when you, after the nursery was finally finished and you both were decorating it with paintings and toys Adrian crafted himself, came in with the plushie and placed it over the little crib. He could feel a tear forming into his eye in that very moment.

"H-how did you..."

He stuttered, holding the toy almost as if he was checking out to see if it was the original one. You chuckled and said:

"I kinda stole from you so many days before Trevor had his hero moment. It was too cute to stay all dusty and forgotten in a wooden box. What is his name, by the way?"

Alucard sniffles the toy for a while, it smells like childhood. Like comfort. Smells like a time that will never come back, but he is happy it will belong to his child now. For that, new memories will be builden up. He finally answers, sitting on the small bed with you and caressing the toy's fluffy head.

"Lupi"

The dhampir smiled as his eyes wandered across the bedroom: it was exactly like he remembered. With his drawing skills, it was easy to picture everything in paper and intruct the carpenters.

After two long years, the village was finally built. Settled in the Belmont ground, it was full of small but cozy houses, a small fair, and a graveyard to honor their lost members. They were grateful for everything, and for that they decided to make a big celebration, in the day of their protector saint, Sara Kali, who is also the protector of pregnant women, for the exhiled and despaired ones as well.

You, Alucard and your friends were invited to such a beautiful moment, since you four had a big role in providing that people comfort and protection during and post the nightcreatures attacks.

It was 24 in The Month Of the Three Milks and you were 5 months pregnant. At first, Alucard was a little hesitant about attending at the festival; besides he cherishes the comunity so much, he feared you made too much effort or that all of these sounds, scents and feelings would be overwhelming to you. In his core, he wanted to go of course, but your safety was more important.

"Are you sure, my darling? You need to rest, you and the baby. Greta and the others will understand if you don't attend"

He tenderly argues, placing a hand on your waist as you look for a proper dress to use in the occasion in your big wooden wardrobe.

"Adrian,"

You drop the pieces of clothes to cup his cheeks, his amber droopy eyes looking towards yours as you explain. How could you take that pouty face of his seriously in that moment? You contain a chuckle.

"I am fine. My sickness doesn't affect me anymore, and some fresh night are will be good for me. You worry too much"

Adrian looks down presses his hand over your growing bump, trying to feel the child. He's been obsessed with it, constantly asking you if his puiuţ, as he constantly reffers to your baby is awaken and active.

"They are quiet this afternoon, my love."

You answer, placing your hand over his colder one. He says nothing, thinking about the festival and if taking you was a good idea until he breaks the silence:

"Let's find you a dress to wear, i will do your hair"

Your eyes light up, filling his heart with joy. Alucard adores to see you smile and beam with happiness, specially now that your mood changes so frequent. Any wrong word can cause an endless angst in this sensitive head of yours. He doesn't complain, though. After all you did for him in those dark gloomy nights, is not just his duty but also his wish to take care of you.

The two of you mess around your clothes, trying to find anything that feels comfortable enought for you to wear all night long. You try this, try that, but all of your formal gowns feel tighter and constraining around your stomach. Trying the last one with no success, you leave a deep sigh and plop yourself on the bed, laying with your limbs spread:

"Alright. Forget it. I accepted my fate: we are not going to the festival."

Though you had a silly smile in your face, Adrian could tell you were very upset with the fact no dress could fit you propperly now, and standing up in silence while looking at your hopeless expression, he takes a hard decision. Entering or seeing his parents' personal objects was a challenge he has been avoiding for two years. That's why most of them were gifted to the people from Danesti. They shouldn't be in there storaging must and moths. He gave it all, except some.

"Actually, i think there are still some dresses that belonged to my mother when she was pregnant. My father kept her belongings, and i couldn't get rid of them yet"

The joyful expression returns to your face as Alucard gives the problem a solving, you quickly sit up again and smile excitedly at him. For a while, you wonder why he kept exactly his mother's pregnancy dresses. Was it because he already planned everything? He could have given them to Sypha years ago. But you don't question it, you just nod and stand up, holding his hands.

"Thank you, Adrian. But you don't have to do it, if it's too hard to see her things again."

He gently shushes you, raising your hand and placing a wet kiss over it and ressuring he would be alright. Adrian tells you to stay in your bedroom while he looks into an old wooden chest, containing some of his parents' remaining belongings.

Minutes after, he cames in with a beautiful red dress, larger in the stomach and breasts part. It's oppulent silk bounces as he moves smoothly, placing it over the bed.

"Here. Try it on. I might do some adjusts on it's sleeves or cleavage if you want me to. We still have time"

He smiles at you, and standing up, you grab it to try on as he said. You inspect it's fabric, the dress has a slight musty scent due to all of these years it spent untouched, but it's alright. You quickly slip off your undergarments and put the dress on. Alucard expectates for the final result, arms crossed and eyes wandering across you changing body. It looks so beautiful, like a goddess of fertility.

"It feels tight in the arms"

You raise up your limbs, proving your point. The long sleeves restrict your movements. Lisa had a more slender figure, you guess, so it would really feel tighter in some of your body parts. Alucard approaches you, adjusting some pieces of the fabric and turning you around to check out the clothing

"I can cut them for you, my dear"

The solution comes without hesitation and you are surprised. He would modify his mother's relics just because of you. The hesitation came from your part

"Do you really mean that? Love, this belonged to your mother"

He playfully scoffs and lifts up the silky hem of the gown, helping you to take it off so he could make the necessary adjusts

"If there was something my mother was not attached to, was material wealth. Plus, it's for the wife of her son i am doing that. Don't you worry, it's just a dress"

Adrian removes the dress from you completly and with the lines and needles, he starts to work on the sleeves as you sit on the bed, waiting for it to be finished.

One hour and a half later, your dress is finally adjusted and fits perfectly. Now, you two should take a shower, get perfumed and elegant for the event so important to your friends of the village.

Adrian does your hair as promised: he braids it and finishes with a ribbon matching the color of your dress. He ties your shoes and you help him folding the hem of his trousers. Now passing through the giantic doors of the castle, you two head to where the festival would be settled.

Arms interlocked and faces enlighted by the rising full moon light, you catch a sight of Sypha and Trevor sitting on a wooden bench, their son Simon is running around with the other kids.

"He is already running. Years ago this boy was just a..."

Words fail with excitement, seeing your nephew toddling and interacting with other children. Alucard completes the phrase, placing a hand on your bump.

"A little bean. Just like our baby. Soon, he or she will be joining them. Ooh, it seems like he is sticking a frog into his mouth!"

As Alucard finishes, you can see from a afar, Sypha rushing to stop the toddler of eating a frog. You giggle, already imagining the adaptations in the castle you and Adrian shall do to prevent your own kid to hurt themselves.

Trevor see you two approaching and, taking a large sip of his ale, he places the cup aside, facing you two.

"Hey, i thought you two wouldn't even come. Y/N, you have to try this ale. This shit is a drop from heavens!"

By his tone, you could tell your friend was already drunk. Alucard intervines with a calm, yet slightly sarcastic tone, cracking his whip:

"You are not trying to make my pregnant wife drink alcohol, are you, Belmont?"

"I forgot this detail"

He snorts, shrugging and turning his attention back to his beloved ale. Since Simon was born, Trevor and Sypha had made a promise he would never drink again, but today is a special occasion so they gave it a break. Talking about Sypha, she returns to the place, holding the willful Simon on her hip and smiling as she spots you and Alucard.

"I can't keep an eye off from this boy, it's like he is the exact copy of his father. I can't keep an eye off of him as well. Trevor, you are already drunk?"

She places her free arm on her hip, facing the sitting man who denies it, with his clearly intoxicated tone.

"Gods, i don't know why but i still love you that it hurts!"

She chuckles, sitting by her husband's side and releasing Simon from her arms before she finally talks to Alucard and you.

"Your bump is already so big, my dear Y/N! Bigger than last week. Please, cherish this moment, becsuse after that you will deal with back pains and ankle soreness due to this little human growing in there"

Sypha looks tenderly at your belly jutting against the red silk of your dress, and then at her own son who rushes to "uncle Lulu", as he calls your husband.

"But it's all worthy."

You were so excited by seeing your friends that didn't even paid attention to the festival decoration. It was beautiful, full of colors and good scents comming from the food. The women wore their traditional clothes, children ran around the big fire settled in the middle. The tawny moon enlighted everything, making the scenary even more breathtaking. Alucard conduces you to sit over the bench and accomodates himself by your side as well.

"What do you think, love?"

He whispers in your ear before kissing your cheek

"Beautiful. I love how their people, even after so many troubles and distress, found a way to put everything together"

The food scent was inviting, you spot a plump old lady holding a large plate of something you judged to be sarma, placing it over the large table along with other food. An increasing desire starts to take over you, and Alucard notices your fixated gaze. He chuckles, placing a hand on your belly before standing up.

"Are you two hungry? Stay here, i will get some food. Will you guys want something as well?"

He looks at Sypha who shakes her head, and at Trevor who says nothing but a grunt that Alucard reads as a no. You watch your dhampir walk graciously towards the table abundant with food, greeting the people as he approaches it. Resting your elbow on your knee and your chin on your palm, you don’t notice how head over heels you are until he comes back holding a bowl and speaking to you so sweetly:

“Here, my dear. It’s still warm”

Alucard sits by your side and you glance at the bowl full of sarma; a meal made of cabbages and stuffed with meat and rice, a typical dish of the people from Danesti. He grabs a forkful and takes it towards your mouth, waiting for your approval. You chew up the bite, the flavors exploding in your mouth. Alucard’s smile increases when you leave a satisfied groan and nod your head. He places the bowl on your lap, allowing you to occasionally feed him as you two chat with Sypha.

Some children from the village spot you sitting in there and rush towards the bench. As expected, they were quite excited about the baby on the way, always competing between them to touch your bump and feel their new “sibling”. After all those little ones passed through, you were happy to see them play around. You see in their faces, the future of that community like flowers blooming after a long winter.

“mother, mother!”

A little girl grabs the hem of your silky dress, trying to get you attention and climb up to your lap, followed by other three kids who fight for their places. Noticing the mess they could make, Alucard grabs the bowl you hold and tries to calm down the hectic little ones.

“Woah, woah, calm down, Delia, Elek. Let your mother breath.”

He adverts the two sassiest ones with his firm wet warm tone, gently pulling them away as they chitter.

“But father Alucard, I want to feel the baby!”

They argue and you can’t resist to their pouty faces, sensitized by your mood changes you intervene into Alucard’s rebuke, accepting their little excited hands to touch your bump. Your husband doesn’t protest back, he knows how stubborn you are and how these children love you, but as you allow Delia to climb up onto your lap, he can’t help but feel apprehensive the girl would make too much pressure over your belly. You can see the disappointed expression in her face as she roams her palm around your stomach but isn’t able to feel nothing.

“The baby is sleeping now.”

You whisper, tilting up her little chin and smiling pacifically. Alucard admires your ability to calm down these children, always so patient and warm. Delia seems to understand the situation and climbs down from your lap, turning to her little friends and communicating the state of your baby. Still, the kids wouldn’t give up and keep fighting for your attention. Alucard knows that gently pushing them away wouldn’t do much good and gives up, so he lets it be. Sypha, noticing your discomfort calls one the children’s name and says:

“why don’t you take little Simon to play around a little, Delia? Hey, but don’t allow him to eat any frog!”

She adverts as the little girl gives up on pesting you and quickly takes your nephew’s hand, guiding him off from Sypha’s lap.

“nor any cricket or moth!”

“Alright, aunt Sypha!”

The small group of children leaves the four adults alone, in a mass of giggling and screaming mess. You can breathe finally, laying your head over Alucard’s shoulder and watching them move away, secretly hoping your baby takes after you and your husband, and doesn’t come to be so hectic like their future peers. Chatting with your friends about your adventures and about parenthood, most of the conversations end up with mocking Trevor. You guys are really taking advantage of his intoxicated state to make fun of him. The weather is pleasant and the crackling fire sounds relax you.

You hate it, but a snort leaves your throat when one of the children approach again, rushing towards Alucard this time at least. The little boy has in his face the expression of the messenger of a king, and speaks while panting, leaving Alucard slightly worried. You fear something bad has happened, as well.

“father Alucard, Greta wants to talk to you.”

The request was not urgent or a life or death case, but the woman’s name has sent you some discomfort into your heart. It’s not like you hate Greta: she is not as close as Sypha is to you, but she is still a friend and you recognize the importance she has to the community, yet you can’t help but feel insecure whenever she is around. Even though it’s been two years since you and Adrian are together, even though you are pregnant with his child.

The blonde man places a quick kiss on your cheek, swearing he will come back as soon as possible and stands up, guided by the child towards the house Greta awaits for him. You observe him adjusting the collar of his shirt as he approaches, and you see Greta come out through the door. Even from meters afar, you notice and admit how gorgeous she looks in that traditional dress, her dark hair and bronze skin glowing under the moonlight, and the wind seems to bring her perfume to you. Almost if it was teasing your jealousness and provoking your feelings.

The leader greets Alucard with a tight hug and in this moment your heart slightly sinks. Ruminating about their possible conversation topic, you convince yourself she is just thanking him for the support he offered during these two years, and not complimenting his beautiful amber eyes or his soft blonde locks you combed yourself. She drags him to inside the small house, followed by other two villagers.

Your fists close, you start to bounce your leg in anxiety and Sypha who is much an observer, places her hand gently on yours and leans in, looking at you with tenderness:

“Y/N, calm down. He is going to talk to the elder ones. You have nothing to worry about. Greta isn’t stealing your man.”

She speaks in a laid-back tone, softly caressing your hand. You turn to face your friend but you can’t contain the concerned expression. Sypha chuckles a bit, not mocking at you, but finding your feeling extremely valid. You protest:

“I-I am not jealous, Sypha. I just---“

You can’t find better words to describe your feeling, so you just give in to Sypha’s moral lesson.

“You are jealous, Y/N. I can tell it by the pout in your face. But you know what? That’s completely understandable, dear friend. You are going through a lot of changes all over your body, it’s pretty normal.”

She leans in a little more and whispers in tone of secret:

“when I was pregnant, i argued with Trevor about anything. Even ale itself made me feel jealous of him”

Your friend takes your hand once again and continues:

“what you need to know, is that Alucard loves you no matter what. It wasn’t Greta who held him every night when his nightmares tormented him. It wasn’t Greta who took care of him at his lowest, my dear. Adrian loves you and he doesn't hide it"

You know Sypha meant every word, but why did you feel like Alucard would eventually get tired of you? Why did you think Greta would charm him with her strong sense of leadership and athletic phisique? You try to focus on something else ignoring the burning jealousy increasing and consuming your brain and on Sypha's trying to cheer you up.

You finally see Alucard step out from the cabin he entered with the leader of the village, his beautiful face beams with happiness as he chats something unhearable. Greta pulls him closer to where other young women beautifully dressed in those tradicional patterns organize themselves to start the dancing, he is probably greeting them.

The young men start playing the instruments, and the ladies dance in the rhythm. Seeing your husband idly moving his shoulders, you expect for the worst to happen. Greta takes him by his hand and starts teaching him how to move smoothly like the dancers, twirling around and expecting him to do the same. Adrian doesn't give a single glance at where you are sitting, he seems to be hypnotized by the moment.

You stand up and feel Sypha's tight grip on your wrist. You look down at her as she asks softly:

"Where are you going"

"I need to pee"

You force a smile and even if it was your intention, Sypha knew you were distancing for other motive. But she doesn't intervene, though. She just releases your wrist and focus on Trevor who seems to be in an alcoholic catalepsy by her side.

You walk towards the latrine behind the village, holding up the hem of dress so it wouldn't get stuck in the ivies underneath. Leaning against the wooden thin wall of the cabine, you feel an increasing heat take over your face and thick tears drop down from your eyes. The music of the festival sounds distant, but you can hear the people's laughing and cheering.

The crickets and night birds seem to be the only spectators of your breakdown until you hear a hoarse, unfamiliar voice approaching you.

"Why are you crying, beautiful lady?"

You pull up your head from the wall, turning to where the voice comes. The light of a torch reveals the silhouette of a man who limps towards you, speaking in an alcohol intoxicated voice.

"A beautiful lady like you shouldn't be here, all alone. Did you know the nightcreatures are still around?"

He laughs in a mischevious tone, spitting on the ground. Getting closer and closer, he sees your face and his eyes widen up, a smirk forms again in his face:

"Are you the dhampir's wife?"

You've never seen that man at the village, he has been here due to the festival, you guess. You gulp, shortly nodding your head:

"Y-yes, mister."

The man stays in silence for a while, his eyes roaming through your body like he he was chosing a piece of meat until they linger on your belly.

"You are pregnant! You are carrying that evil's seed! Your husband's race only brought disgrace to this land. This thing you carry in your womb is cursed, it has a cursed blood just like it's genitor. You are nothing but catter for that demon to spread his offspring"

Your heart sinks at the tone he speaks to you, his intoxicated breath stinging in your nose as he approaches. You can't move, your body freezes as he says:

"I will put an end on it"

He completes with a sly grin, spitting on the ground again:

"And insert mine inside this pretty belly of yours"

You try to run, but the man grabs you by your middle and starts to run his filthy hands across your cleavage. Where is Alucard? You stood with him during this thundery years and when you need him most, he is entertaining himself with Greta. You fear for your child as the man's fingers press deeper against your skin.

"If you screm, it's gonna be worse. They can't hear you"

The man whispers and all you can do is whimper.

All the while, Sypha watches the movement of people, the colors of the dancers' dresses twirling and the instruments sounds echoing to inside the forest. It's been 5 minutes and you didn't came back. She fears leaving you alone was a bad idea.

Her attention turns to Alucard who after chatting with the villagers and receiving their grateful compliments, happily heads to the bench eager to reunite with you. His face drastically changes noticing only Sypha (and a dozing off Trevor) are in there.

"Where is Y/N?"

He asks the woman, a concerned expression in his face, and he could see a slight frown or worry in Sypha's forehead, but she didn't want to alarm him by mentioning her concern.

"She went to the latrines minutes ago"

For a while, Alucard feels a little upset with your friend. She shouldn't have let you go on your own. He stays in silence for a while, deciding if he should go after you.

Your vision gets foggy by the tears, and you can't tell if the music stopped or you are just falling out of consciousness by the terror, but as the sounds of instruments finally fade completly, you scream in agony, hoping someone can hear you plead. Hoping Alucard could hear your plead.

Alucard's pupils shrink as he hears your recognizable voice and before Sypha could even ask him if he heard that too, he desappears in a figure darker than night, smoothly directing itself to where the sound of you came from. Sypha rushes after him, already closing her fists, ready to use her powers.

The drunken man slides his hand down to your womb, roughly pressing his thumbs onto your skin. You groan, tears falling down your cheeks. He is going to take the life of your so expected puiuţ.

The trees and people speed distorted as Alucard in his fog shape rushes in your rescue. His heart is filled with an unnatural rage, something he never felt before as he sees that filthy bastard hurting his beloved. Something similar to what his father might felt.

The dhampir materializes in front of the man, pushing him with anger against the stone wall of a house, the bastard couldn't even tell what was going on until he feels Alucard's piercering eyes, red as flames staring into his and his sharp fangs so close to his neck as he hisses like a serpent.

He was about to take his life when a sharp disc of ice cuts the bastard's skin. Alucard swiftly looks back and sees Sypha rushing towards you as you fall on your knees, sobbing. His attention then turns back to the man who feels the dhampir's fangs almost touching his throat.

"I am not marking this date so important for the villagers with your filthy blood. But get to know: if you touch my wife once again, i open your abdomen and wrap your guts around a tree with you alive."

This words doesn't seem to be spoken by your sweet Alucard. For a while, it feels like his father's anger for human kind took his mind and manifested phisically using his body.

He releases the drunk who limps florest inside and his eyes shift back to it's beautiful amber pigmentation, now filled with tears as he sees you broken on the ground attached to Sypha's shoulder, sobbing in shock.

"Shh... it's everything alright now, Y/N. He is gone"

Your friend rubs your back soothingly and helps you to stand up, but your arm never leaves hers until Alucard approaches, stretching his arms open to embrace you.

"Y/N! I am so sorry. I've failed you"

"H-he tried to kill our puiuţ..."

You whine and he rests his chin on top of your head, holding you tighter. He couldn't save his mother years ago, he couldn't save his father from his own madness. If he lost you to such an avoidable way, he couldn't forgive himself.

Sypha's heart sinks seeing her two friends in such a broken state. She hugs you both tightly and recomforts you, guiding you back to the festival.

No one of you including Trevor who was sleeping to the lullaby of alcohol had mood to continue in the village that night, going home was the only option. Your friends would sleep in the castle.

You didn't exchange a word way back to home until you silently opened the doors of your chambers and slowly slipped off from your dress. In the oval mirror, you could spot the two marks caused by the agressor's hands. A lump forms in your throat again, it's been q while since you don't feel your child, you fear the worst happened.

Alucard cames in, wrapping his arms around you though he hesitated for a while. He kisses your cheek and kneals down in front of you, pressing his ear against your belly.

"Can you hear it? The heartbeat... can you still hear anything?"

You speak, trying your best to not to cry being so aprehensive about his answer. He lingers a little, shifting his position and lowing down his breath.

"I can hear it."

He looks up at you, a sigh of relieve leaves your body.

"Our puiuţ is safe."

Alucard stands up after placing a kiss on your belly and wraps his arms around you, wiping away your relieved tears. You hug him tightly, sobs muffled by his chest and his tears fall over your hair as well.

"That was my fault"

You silently climb onto bed after calming down from the overwhelming night you had, and after minutes, he finally breaks the silence.

"It was my fault. If you or our baby got hurt, it would be my fault"

You didn't want to rub salt into the wound though you knew the incident was directly linked to the fact Alucard left you. Placing a hand on his shoulder, you listen to his apologize.

"I should have known you would be pissed off with me because of Greta, but it was not my intention. Forgive me, darling. I promise i will never leave your side ever again"

He turns to face you with those droopy amber eyes, tears tangled between his long eyelashes and he blinks for them to follow their flow. You cup Alucard's cheek and gives him a ressuring smile. You couldn't be mad at him.

"Accepted"

Seeing Alucard have another breakdown was the last thing you wanted to see. He wraps his arms around you, hand resting on your belly like a shield as you sleep in a deep slumber, lulled by the wind knocking on the window.

"The Orphan Queen's Name"

It just occurred to me that we haven't yet been told the name of The Orphan Queen (at least not that I can remember). So, until we get some spin-off material about her, or until her name is revealed, whichever comes first, here are a few that I thought would fit the character.

1. Ashra

Some of the possible meanings of this name are: "blessed; fortunate" or "desire; hope"

I first saw this name while listening to "Of Ashes The Musical" by Anna Mirian Brown, and what caught my attention was the character's (Ashra) first lines:

Mama said I was born of fire and flame so she named me "Ashra"

To hope I was smoke like instead of the haze, I’d rise from disaster.

I may be getting confused with the timeline of the TDP universe, but according to what I saw on the The Dragon Prince Wiki, she was born after the banishment of humans from Xadia; and from what we were told in the series, this was a very difficult period for humans. I mean, they were basically left on their own, with no magic, resources or security.

Although it might doesn't express the harshness of that period, I feel like it does carry a message of hope, and also a desire for a "brighter future for humanity."

2. Hari

This name has several meanings, which change according to its language of origin. Some of its meanings are:

In German - "Ruler of the home; sovereign of the homeland"

In Sanskrit - "Brown; yellow; tawny" or "The one who takes away"

Hari is also the name of a Hindu deity. In fact, this would be another name for the god Vishnu [...] "It refers to the one who removes darkness and illusion, the one who removes all obstacles to spiritual progress."

And, here's the "funny" part: I didn't choose this name entirely because of its meaning or origin; I was actually thinking about the story of the Dutch "spy" Mata Hari.

Her story is a "bit too long" for me to try to summarize here, but if you are interested (or never heard of it) I truly suggest you look for the story, because it is quite interesting.

I firmly believe that she played a very important role in the plan that would eventually lead to Aaravos being "defeated" the first time; as a kind of spy maybe?! And if that's the case, I wonder how good her powers of persuasion must be if she could fool someone like Aaravos...

3. Kali

This name also has its origins in Sanskrit and the Hindu religion; but in addition there are other meanings for it.

In the Hindu religion: Kali, also called Kalika is the name of a Hindu goddess. The name itself is derived from a Sanskrit word (Kala) which means "black" and "time". The goddess represents the opposing forces of "creation and destruction", "death and rebirth." She is also known as Kali Ma, "The Divine Mother", and is a symbol of Mother Nature. She is believed to be timeless and formless, and represents the creation of life and the universe.

Finnish - The name is also a variation of the Finnish name Kalle, wich means: "little slender one" or "slender, fair".

Saint Sarah - Also known as "Sara-la-Kâli" (Sara the Black), she is the patron saint of the Romani people. It is also the protector of pregnant women, the desperate, the offended and the helpless. Although her origin stories vary, and she has never been officially canonized by the Catholic Church, her stories continue to be passed down and she keeps representing the strength, resilience, and faith of the Romani people.

4. Tara

This name can also be written as "Tarah", "Tarak" and Taran. It's also one of those that has different meanings depending on its origin.

Sanskrit - In Sanskrit, it means "star".

Old Irish - Tara comes from the Old Irish word teamhair, which means "place of great prospect" or "elevated place". Is commonly associated with the Hill of Tara, an archaeological site in County Meath that was the seat of the High Kings of Ireland.

Gaelic - In Gaelic, it means "hill".

Persian - In Persian, it means "queen", "goddess of the sea" or "diamond".

5. Orpah

Look, It all started because I imagined a possible scenario where, at some point, someone would've confused her name with the word "Orphan", and after a few attempts to try to correct it, the girl just let it go and the title ended up sticking.

I confess that I had more fun imagining this than I should have, it's up to you to judge my sense of humor or not!

But jokes aside, this name has Hebrew roots and some of its meanings are: "Neck; fawn; gazelle"

Okay, these meanings may seem more "common" compared to the other names we've seen; but I decided to research what the two animals mentioned can symbolize. And here are some of my favorite parts:

"The color fawn is a light yellowish tan that can range from pale tan to dark deer-red. It symbolizes natural beauty and simplicity, and has historically represented humility and modesty."

"As a verb, fawn means to try to win favor by flattering someone."

"In ancient Arabic and Persian literature, the gazelle was often used to symbolize female beauty. The word comes from the Arabic word ghazal, which is a lyric love poem that is usually set to music."

"In ancient Egypt, gazelles were associated with the sun god, fertility, and rebirth."

"The gazelle's name connotes elegance and agility, reflecting its exceptional grace and swiftness."

Religion, Roma and Misogyny

So I've been meaning to make a post on Roma and religion but I don't know how to properly put my thoughts into words. But basically:

The Evangelical Christian faith is the fastest growing religious movement among Roma

Nowadays, about a third of European Roma are Evangelical Christians (x)

The movement is particularly popular in Spain and in France (x, x), but also in the UK (x,x) and in the Balkan (x, x)

Evangelical missionaries convert Roma by spreading lies about our origin. A common talking point is that Roma actually don't come from India but from Israel. That kind of misinformation is pretty bad because Roma should be aware of our actual history if we want to fight for our rights and for properly educating our children about our past. This talking point also often comes accompanied with anti-Indian racism and anti-Palestinian racism. It also leads to images like these, which are not statements of solidarity but rather, an attempt at blurring Romani identity and conceiling our true origins:

Evangelical missionaries are one of the leading causes of the disappearance of traditional Romani beliefs and cultural practices: fortune telling, saints worship (including the worship of Saint Sara e Kali, a protective figure whose worship among Roma can be traced back to the year 1000, when we left India)

Evangelical missionaries are not only setting back Romani rights by promoting cultural assimilation, they are also actively spreading homophobia and misogyny among Romani communities...

which is clearly bad considering LGB Roma and Romani women are already treated so bad in the community

Here is a list of things I have personally heard or read from Romani evangelical (straight) men:

Homosexuality is an abomination and homosexual Roma should be stoned to death

No self respecting Romani person can be homosexual, if you are both Romani and gay you have to be thrown out of your community

Self respecting Romani girls and women can't wear skirts or shorts or show their knees

Romani girls and women shouldn't be allowed to wear swimsuits in front of men, including in front of their brothers, father and grandfather, lest they be labelled "whores"

Romani women should listen to their husbands and not take decisions. They should cook for their husband, clean for their husband, and remain in the household while their Romani husband works

If you are a Romani woman or an LGB Roma and you want to assert your rights, then you're not really Romani, you are actually white or you have been corrupted by white culture. No Romani woman or LGB would be so assertive or stand up for themself

Here is a list of behaviour and events I have personally seen and witnessed from Evangelical Roma:

An effeminate Romani traveler (male teenager) was making tiktoks about his life as a Romani traveler, pretty casual and chill videos. His comment section got flooded by comments from Evangelical Roma saying: if I were your mother I would be ashamed; if I were your dad I would beat you up so badly; your parents should throw you out; your behaviour is so shameful, I'm ashamed by the youngest generations of Roma. They also spammed homophobic slurs in Sinti language and in my country's official language. Please note that there was no indication this teenager was homosexual, he just had an effeminate voice and mannerisms.

Last summer, a young gitana (Spanish Romani) woman posted a tiktok in which she was wearing a bikini. She was harassed by young Romani men for a week, calling her a whore, a slut, and shameful. They said her father and brother must be feeling so ashamed by her behaviour. That woman eventually made a tiktok defending her right to wear a bikini because she was still unmarried, thus implicitly conceding that a married Romani woman should cover herself.

An old Sinti woman and Holocaust survivor was testifying about her time in Auschwitz. She described the behaviour of some of the Sinti women she was sharing her barrack with. She said some of them had lesbian relationships. She then said, "that behaviour was so disgusting, and is not something we do in Sinti culture. If us, Sinti, ever catch one of our women doing this, we would rightfully beat her up. These people should be lynched and dealt with". That woman became an Evangelical after the Holocaust and said that God helped her and our people survived the genocide.

TL;Dr, I hate Evangelical Christians. They are homophobes and misogynists that make the lives of Romani women and LGB even harder. They are advocating for restricting Romani women's rights and for the murder of LGB Roma. This is happening all over Europe – including in Western Europe, where it is supposedly soooo easy to be gay or a woman. The Evangelical faith is a disaster for us. Yet it is one of the most widespread religion among Roma, and no one knows it because it's barely documented or covered by media. You can't support Romani women's and LGB rights if you support religion, and the evangelical one first and foremost

The Romani ceremony at Les Saintes Maries, as elsewhere, consists of carrying the statue on a platform strewn with flowers into the closest body of water such as a sea, lake, flowing river or even a large pond of clear water. The platform is then lowered to touch the water while the crowd throws flowers into the water. Indian scholars such as Dr. Weer Rishi and others who have witnessed this Romani ceremony, as well as Western observers who are familiar with Hindu religious customs have identified this ceremony with the Durga Pooja of India. In Romani, Kali Sara means Black Sara and in India, the Goddess Kali is known as Kali/Durga/Sara. Like the Hindus, the Roma practice shaktism, the worship of Goddesses. In other words, the Roma who attend the pilgrimage to Les Saintes Maries in France and in other related ceremonies elsewhere honouring black female divinities, are in fact continuing to worship Kali/Durga/Sara their original Goddess in India.

🕯️✨Cores das velas e seus significados ✨🕯️

As velas possuem uma grande função no mundo místico, bruxo e espiritual. Ela envia energias, ilumina e é um dos pontos de força dos espíritos que incorporam, por isso é essencial que o espírito que vier na terra tenha sua vela acesa.

A vela representa o elemento fogo. Por tanto, existe diversas cores de velas e essências para ungir.

Em muitos lugares do planeta, possuem significados diferentes das cores das velas, como por exemplo os Yessidi consideram a cor azul como a cor da morte. Mas para nós, principalmente os Católicos, é considerada a cor do céu, de ave Maria e da tranquilidade. Devemos também compreender as cores e seus significados pelo seu ligamento com o astro, por exemplo, a cor rosa simboliza a alta vibração do vermelho, vinculada ao planeta Vênus.

🌌🪐 Astros, cores e Deuses🪐🌌

Rosa: É a cor do amor puro, da compaixão, do amor próprio. Vinculada ao planeta Vênus e ao signo de Libra. O salmão também é uma cor de Vênus, unida ao amarelo, é a cor da amizade. A cor rosa tem a propriedade de despertar os sentimentos mais nobres, pois torna a pessoa mais meiga, dócil, afasta a violência e a agressividade.

Amarelo 💛: Representa o Deus Mercúrio, logo, também assume este planeta. É a cor da mentalidade, alegria, da animação e da juventude. Mas a cor amarela também possui significado, em diferentes lugares, da doença ou da cura.

Laranja: Representa a luz da energia sexual e emocional, é a cor do desbloqueio emocional e também auxilia na autoestima. Cor do prazer e do sucesso, quem quiser ser famoso ou possuir uma notoriedade pela sua qualidade ou algo que faz, use o laranja ao seu favor. Essa cor também varia para o planeta Vênus.

Vermelho: a cor da paixão, da raiva, do sangue, da animação e vitalidade. Antigamente, usava-se vermelho em crianças doentes com sarampo para curá-las rapidamente. Os índios da América, também pintavam de vermelho o falecido, para que ele tivesse mais energia e força no outro mundo. Além disso, a cor vermelha representa partidos revolucionários, como por exemplo, o martelo de foice do comunismo, onde o vermelho seria o sangue dos operários e proletários mortos pela burguesia. É representada pelo planeta Marte, o planeta do Deus da Guerra.

Verde: Sua cor é representada na natureza, transmite paz, serenidade, purificação. É uma ótima cor para quem está doente. Na Inglaterra o verde era usado pela nobreza, pelos personagens de conto de fadas e pelos animais subterrâneos. Na igreja, o verde é usado para comemorar a alegria da ressurreição. Também é uma das cores de Vênus.

Azul: A cor do céu, ligada ao planeta Júpiter. Cor da serenidade, devoção, sinceridade, bondade, esperança, tranquilidade, caridade. Mas também pode representar mágoa, falta de compreensão e lerdeza.

Violeta: Representada pelo planeta Netuno. É a cor da espiritualidade. Também pode representar tristeza e melancolia. O conde Saint Germain usava violeta para beneficiar os doentes e devolver-lhes a saúde, como também, representa a sabedoria. Ótima cor para escolas e estudos.

Púrpura 💜: Representa Júpiter. Significa a cor da filosofia, religião, mente superior. Dignidade, bondade, sabedoria, assim como a Violeta/roxa.

Marrom 🤎: A cor de Saturno 🪐. Ligada ao Deus Cronos. Representa também o trabalho, a terra, estruturação, disciplina, praticidade, responsabilidade. É uma das cores outonais. Ótima cor para concretização de trabalho.🟤

Preto 🐈‍⬛ : Apesar de ligado a morte, noite e a treva, é a cor que antagoniza a luz branca do dia. Representa também, a cor da profundidade, silêncio, proteção, conexão consigo mesmo. Essa cor representa a Santa Sara Kali, padroeira dos ciganos, Sara representa a terra. A cor preta é essencial em rituais de proteção e destruição ou afastamento do inimigo.

Branco 🤍: Ligada a pureza, representa a Lua 🌙. Usada em quem procura ter ligação com o pode emocional e mental. Antigamente a cor branca era usada por meninas virgens, para mostrar a pureza e a honra. Hoje em dia, não temos mais esse pensamento, portanto todas as mulheres podem ser puras e honradas, por isso o branco ainda é usado em casamentos, para representar a honra, pureza da noiva, independente se é virgem ou não. O branco é usado em rituais e cerimônias, pois representa o respeito, limpeza, purificação e ligação emocional e mental com a energia que está se mexendo. É a cor do nosso Pai Oxalá, Senhor do Bonfim ou apenas Jesus Cristo.

❕Além disso, no Ocidente, a cor branca (até mesmo a cor de pele) é representada como algo bom, e a cor negra (também da pele) é representada como algo ruim. É importante sabermos da história para não cometermos racismo com uma cor que é tão importante quanto outra. A caracterização da cor negra como algo ruim traz, na sociedade, o racismo e preconceito com nossos irmãos. A cor negra representa coisas positivas também, assim como a cor branca pode representar coisas negativas, como por exemplo, doença, anemia, velhice, preguiça. Por isso, é importante mudarmos a história e a falsa caracterização de uma cor, apenas para beneficiar outra.

Dourado 💛: A cor do ouro, harmonia e luz. É a cor da deusa Oxum. Essa cor é utilizada em ritual para dinheiro, prosperidade e sucesso. Assim como Oxum, também pode ser utilizada para gravidez.

Prateada 🩶: Ótima para proteção e segurança.

Quando for fazer um ritual para tal área, escolha a cor certa da vela!

Vaggie who is not religious appreciate Santa muerte help dealing with her trauma. Sometime santa muerte can even be seen in hell as she look soul who need her help and punish based on their crime. Another saint who supported Charlie is saint kali sara. Since Romani people are heavily opporessed some of them end up in hell because they converted to christianity in order to survive. She also brought their soul to the happy hotel. Asherah Charlie grandmother knew saint kali sara is goddess kali. Since christianity is monotheistic she need to found a way to help her devotee. Asherah advice Charlie some sinner can be brought by the saint so she doesn't need to look or wait sinner to come her hotel directly. Instead of having saint Peter who just there for singing not for the plot that is huge a waste of time and money. Saint can added to the plot folk saint or Canon saint

That could so work.
