#at least isaac fully adopts bb in your au

[beevean]

What if Isaac and Julia weren't related by blood. They were just two lost kids viewed as "cursed" (Isaac because of his hair, eyes and affinity with creatures of the night, and Julia because she was the daughter of a witch and inherited her powers) who found each other and decided "You know what, let's stay together. You and I against the world."

But where Isaac hated humanity and wanted nothing but to go by Dracula's side, Julia just wanted to live in peace. She followed Isaac because "omg big bro figure who accepted me and took me in when i needed it the most...", but she didn't share his beliefs.

Then she left the castle to live not too far to stay as closer as she could to her brother, that she felt she was losing little by little... and Hector arrived and Isaac was all like "yoooooo another cursed child, let's stay together, you and i and Lord Dracula against the world !!" but then... you know how it ended. :)

Anyway i'm just really weak for the idea of Isaac and Julia's bond having nothing to do with "blood". They just both needed a family, and they found one in each other. <3 (also smol Isaac seeing baby Julia and immediately feeling the need to protect ??)

your brain. it's so big.

Isaac having big bro instincts towards any "cursed" child is a balm for my soul 🥺 but it never ends well whyyyyyy why can't my boys be happy for once

I also personally headcanon that Isaac gives little value to blood bonds, because they're out of his control/choice, while he highly appreciates bonds he chooses to make. This is where his full worshipping for Dracula comes from: it doesn't matter how much he suffers, Isaac chose Dracula, he's a God of his own and not one imposed, and that's what makes him so special and irreplaceable.

(it's kinda funny how both Julia and Hector abandoned Isaac because he was just too much of a Dracula simp. baby be simpin' ever since before actually meeting the guy. it's his real curse 😔)

I guess that in this scenario it would make more sense for Julia to be so similar to Rosaly? Maybe they're sisters? But Rosaly didn't inherit an ounce of magical powers, so while she was sent to study in a monastery and she became the Perfectly Normal Daughter to dote on, Julia was abandoned/mistreated and then she ran away?
