“You deserve the love you keep trying to give everyone else.”

I find fascinating that no one in the games calls Alucard by his birth name, not even his own father.

If you never read the manuals, you will never learn that his birth name is Adrian Fahrenheit Ţepeş, and has been ever since Dracula's Curse. He calls himself Alucard, everyone around him calls himself Alucard, and even Dracula accepts his son's new name. He greets him as such in SoTN and in Julius Mode in DoS, and the latter instance is even more striking, because by then he goes by Arikado - but to Dracula, he's still Alucard. Not Adrian.

And you'd think that he'd insist on calling his son by his birth name, right? As a way to control and demean him. "Oh, you chose that cute nickname for yourself? Charming. But you are still my Adrian, the boy I raised, and you can't escape from that." But no. Dracula has fully accepted that his son is so against him that he used his own name backwards: and I think that it's a sign that he has completely disowned him. He has no desire of pretty pleading him to join him by reminding him of their family ties: he will do so once Dracula has killed Lisa's last influence on the boy. It speaks of his utter coldness, and how estranged the two have become - after all, Alucard accuses him that he has completely lost his ability to love. (and, as a reminder, in the Japanese version of SoTN, Dracula doesn't even say farewell to Alucard before dying)

There is only one exception to this:

This is a different writer so take this with a grain of salt, but since it's the only instance we see Dracula's thoughts during the 1476 battle, it's interesting. Perhaps he still hasn't learned that his son has changed names, but I can believe he hadn't accepted yet, hence why he's so emotionally distraught. By the time of SoTN, his heart has hardened enough that he no longer cares, and he calls his own treacherous son with the name he has chosen to indicate that the two are enemies.

“I hope your favorite show gets canceled” predictable, lame. “I hope that your blorbos all resemble infinitely more popular character so whenever you see fan art of those characters you think for a second it’s one of yours” real, could happen to you

Did you know that "video killed the radio star" was actually written about that one case in ace attorney where a radio gets presented with a video tape and freaks out and threatens to kill the guy who hired him

Closed RP: A Twist of Fate

He couldn’t say that he was surprised when he saw her in the caravan. The merchant that had hired him was taking a few wagons worth of goods through woodlands that were known for faerie activities, so they’d wanted any travelers or adventurers with some familiarity with the fey keeping watch. It was the whole reason he’d been hired on in the first place—and, clearly, the same was true for the other half-faerie sitting on the back wagon.

But that didn’t mean he had to like it.

“I see the princess is traveling with us,” Adrian Felhollow muttered in a low tone, tossing his own bag of belongings into the wagon and shooting Elida a cool and aloof glance. “You sure you want to tag along on this—might be a little too much for your delicate courtly constitution.”

So Davion and Alucard what do you think of your husband's dressed up as a police officer and a thug?

Both Davion and Alucard was speechless.

"Holy hell that's hot." Davion said blushing heavily while loving how his husband looked.

"......." Adrian was too speechless to speak due to his face being a beet deep red hiding his face. Why did his husband have to be so hot!?

"You okay there-" Davion started to ask but Adrian glares at him.

"SH..SHUT UP!" he squeaked.

"Okay???"

Open Start (Adrian Khalil)

Open to: Vers/Top Men

Plot: Old Friends Reconnecting At A Wedding

Adrian had been dreading attending this wedding solo. Mainly because he had RSVPed with a "plus one" that decided to break up with him about a month ago. So, he reveal that truth to those who asked but also downplay it because the day wasn't about him. Luckily, he'd been seated with an old college friend and they just fell back into conversation as though they hadn't gone separate ways after they graduated. As the music played, he sipped his wine, slightly buzzed, "So, you know why I'm here alone...but why are you here alone?"
