Birthday snippet for darkmessiah2000

This is the birthday request for @darkmessiah2000

I hope you like it!

It was strange coming here after so long.

Alucard felt both like an intruder and a runaway pacing his family’s front door porch.

When Olivia asked him where he wanted to go for their anniversary, this was the only place that came to mind. 

Yet the words clogged in his throat, and he could only grasp her hand and place it on the map tacked to their wall.

As she realized where he was pointing, there wasn’t any judgment on her face–there never was– and she nodded before drawing him close. 

Over the years, the couple had traveled to vast locations from the steepest peaks to the darkest caverns. But, as time turned Olivia’s hair white and her constitution more frail, they had kept to more tame ventures. 

However this….this was something Alucard felt he had to do. 

Countless souls flocked here yearly for pilgrimage and now he was one of them.

The Mount of Beatitudes–the site of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.

The Western Wall–the last remnant of the Temple Mount.

The Dome of the Ascension–the spot where the prophet Muhammad ascended to the heavens. 

Alucard took it all in with an impassive expression, feeling isolated from the devout swarming around him. 

Centuries ago, he had slaughtered thousands for this land–for the approval of the Almighty Father. 

While those around him prayed with beads and clasped hands, he had used bloodsoaked lances and swords.

And, when his prayers were ignored, he turned his back to the heavens and became what Iscariot lovingly dubbed ”An unholy abomination that God has casted out”. 

Now that he was here, would he–such a wretched creature–combust if he brushed against a rosary?

Would turning the page of holy texts slice his fingers to ribbons?

After everything, did he have a place here?

The blessed city of Jerusalem was divided into quarters based on religion, but even then, there was a sense of unity lingering in the air. 

Different languages, customs, beliefs yet they all faced skyward in their faith. 

Even in the face of despair, their faith never faltered and was larger than any mustard seed. 

How beautiful they were.

Their strength, their resilience–unbreakable. 

The ice prison surrounding him fortified, and Alucard was about to step back into the shadows when Olivia clasped his hands between hers. 

“You’re here,” Olivia whispered, a soothing smile on her wrinkled face. “You’re here, Vlad. That is all that matters.”

At that, the frigid ice melted away, and he was bombarded by the warmth embracing him from all sides. 

(For this son of mine was dead and now has returned to life.

He was lost, but now he is found. )

“I’m here,” He acknowledged, leaning into Olivia’s touch like a shipwrecked man clings to a life ring. “I’m here.”

Yes, for now, Alu–no, Vlad….Vlad would not dwell in the past and instead would take in this warm present. 

Because he was here.

As for Olivia, she watched her husband silently, knowing how important this trip was to him. 

Growing up, her family avoided religion and even during her prime serving Hellsing, she had never attended mass nor studied scripture. 

To be honest, religion left a bitter taste in her mouth.

How people justified their horrid behavior in the name of faith, and that famous lie that “Ask the Lord and you shall receive” was constantly paraded around. 

What of those caught in the crossfires of war?

What of the victims left at the mercy of their abusers? 

What of the countless injustices dealt to the innocent while the wicked frolicked in bliss? 

What of their prayers?

They beg the Almighty for salvation and are only met with silence!

Why?

Why would such a gracious God allow such suffering? 

These were the questions that constantly swirled around her head when confronted with religion.

Now that her mortal life was drawing to a close and her once youthful gaze was dulled by jaded wisdom, she finally had an answer.

In the end, the only answer she could conjure up was that there was no answer. 

Not very satisfying, but it was an answer nonetheless. 

People have the capacity to perform marvelous acts of love and devastating acts of wrath–it is their free will. 

It is these acts that shape the world into what it is, for better or worse.

And so, all Olivia could do was try to put more acts of love into the world and stop trying to question what she would never understand. 

She was human, therefore operated by human logic. 

God had no logic but their own, and no one will ever be able to comprehend it. 

Not even their own son who was executed in the name of salvation for all.

So, in short, Olivia didn’t know where she stood, but she wasn’t going to fight it anymore.

Instead, she would stand beside her husband and take in the warmth of this holy city.

happy birthday @sukichuu 🖤

[speckle-meow-meow]

hey, here's an idea. since it's my birthday today-though it'll probably be long past when you answer this lol-could i have headcanons for the welcome home doing something for it? i figure that headcanons would be easier for everyone. if you only want to do some of them, any three of wally, frank, sally, julie, or howdy is fine. thank you and have a good day!

Dude I am so sorry happy late birfday...

Warning: wee bit of angst

It was your birthday

And everyone knew

So they decided to throw a surprise party!

It was 7 am when you woke up, you felt happier than usual because it was a very special day for you. It was your birthday!!!

Which ment....

BIRTHDAY PANCAKES (or whatever preferred breaky)

After you finished your breakfast you got dressed, you decided to doll up a little and add a little spice to your clothing.

And a little bit of makeup (ik not everyone wears makeup but like... Please let me have this 🥺👉👈)

You looked fantastic!

After you sorted yourself out you left home and made your way to Howdys bug- I mean Bodega.

Everyone saw that you looked slightly different

More pep in your step and more dressy than usual

And they knew why

You stepped inside the Bodega sort of expecting a "HELLO Y/N happy birthday" but it never came.

In all honesty in made you a bit sad but, not everyone has to remember your birthday, especially when you don't remember most people's birthdays. (Not me calling myself out..)

"Hello howdy! How are you today?" You grinned towards your fuzzy tall four armed friend

"Oh hello y/n! I'm doing great! What about you?" He turned to face you

"I'm doing great! After all it is a very special day for me! Which means I'm going to buy a (dessert of choice)!" You giggled hoping that he would know what day it was

But he didn't

"Of course!" He grabbed some metal tongs and grabbed your dessert, putting it into a small box then putting it in your hands "alright there ya go! Enjoy!"

You smiled but it was a meek smile

It pained howdy when you didn't show your usual bright smile

He had to resist telling you happy birthday

After all he couldn't ruin the surprise right?

But oh boy was he wrong...

You passed everyone each hoping you'd have a great day and nothing else, not even Frank who seemed to remember everything said happy birthday

You suppressed the urge to cry until you reached your home. When you got there you threw the dessert you got from the Bodega into the trash. To you it would taste to bitter.

We're you being a bit petty? Or over reacting? Maybe.. But it was your birthday...

Once they saw you go into your house they all prepared poppy barn for your party

Poppy made the sweets

Julie and Sally were discussing activities

Wally was keeping watch just incase you were gonna show up

Frank was putting your presents on a table

Howdy was helping Eddie make decorations while handing/putting them around

Later Julie put a note in an envelope running to your house and putting it on your porch then running after knocking on your door.

You heard the knocks and checked seeing the envelope on the ground.

You picked it up and closed your door, then reading the contents

It was an invite

Deciding not to let your sadness get in the way you got dresses again making yourself presentable, and left.

You arrived at Poppy's and opened the doors

It was quiet, until you heard a loud

"SURPRISE!!!"

Everyone was there!

They did remember!

The night was fully of fun and laughter

You even forgot what your were sad about because you realized that they did remember.

{God's you don't know how much I had to restrain myself to not make it to angsty, anyways I hope you liked this anon and happy late birthday! As always hearts and reblogs are always welcomed along with questions, comments, and requests}
