He whimpers as you hover on top of him, his eyes blurred with tears. It feels like it’s been hours since you last touched him, when in reality it’s only been about a minute. You smirk at the mess of a man under you. He’s just begging to be touched more, but you want to see just how desperate he can be.
“Awhh,” you coo softly. You lean in to kiss his swollen lips. “Does my baby need some relief?”
You don’t let him say anything, you just reach down to flick the head of his cock. This causes him to jump and he whines. You flick it a few more times, watching as it dribbles more precum. You love that he has nowhere to go either; he’s all tied up and his cock is secured in the ring you picked out specifically for this moment.
“You gonna answer me, baby?” You ask, nibbling at his earlobe. You hear him let out another breathy huff, clearly so desperate for more stimulation.
He lets out the sweetest moan when you wrap your fingers around him, and you begin stroking him. You alternate between very fast strokes that leave him panting and begging for release and slow, tortuous strokes that make him blink back tears. He’s trying in vain to buck up for just a little more stimulation, but whenever he moves around too much, you decide that he needs to be punished.
Smack! You slap his balls, making him cry out. He whines a soft apology, but it’s just not good enough for you.
“I thought,” Smack! “You were going to be a good boy for me.” Smack!
When you pull away to admire your handiwork, you can see how the head of his cock is red and dribbling precum while his balls are a cute shade of pink from being smacked and they look so heavy with cum. He’s whining and whimpering, soft pleas coming from his lips that are so swollen from being kissed.
“What was that, baby? You gotta speak up.” You tell him, flicking the head and shaft of his engorged cock.
His head falls back, “P-please…’m so sorry, please mommy!”
You smirk again when you hear him call you that name. It was so embarrassing for him to call you that at first, but he soon learned that it’s what gets him rewards. It’s what makes you want to actually get him off. You lean in once more, kissing those pretty lips. Your tongue slides into his mouth as you begin stroking his cock. Precum coats your hand, facilitating your actions.
“You wanna cum, dontcha?” You ask, nipping at his bottom lip. “Tell me how badly you want to cum.”
He grunts softly, “Mommy, please…I need to cum. Needta cum so fuckin’ bad.”
You love how far gone he is. His eyes are glazed over with lust. He’s more than desperate now, and so pathetically begging for his release. You reach down to cup those cum heavy balls and you tug on them lightly. He gasps at the sensation. You begin to jerk him off even faster and harder.
“Cum for me, big boy. Come on, shoot that load for mommy.”
He’s moaning like crazy, and these sweet little pleas and whimpers slip out too. You tug on his balls a bit more, and then alternate between flicking the head of his cock and smacking his balls between strokes. It takes so little to push him off the edge, and he’s moaning and crying out your name as fat globs of cum shoot out of the tip of his tortured cock. Soon, you slow your pace before leaning in to kiss him.
“My good boy…”
He breathes a sigh of relief, but it’s soon replaced with a whine as you start jerking him off faster and harder than before. You tug on his balls again, making him squeak.
“I never said we were done.”

I wanna see more fan theories about Alucards unexpected return at the end of Nocturne. And not just his return but also how you think each of the characters will react/get along with him.
Like there's Richter who is arguably probably the most acquianted with who Alucard is given he's seemingly the first one to recognize him and is the one to describe him as a 'legend'. But, like, whose legend exactly? A belmont legend? Or a european legend in general? Either way I think Richter might just be the quickest to trust Alucard. Partially because hes an ancestral ally but also because Alucard pretty directly saved his life.
But then theres everyone else.
Do Maria and Mizrak know who Alucard is? Or who Dracula was? If they recognize the latter but not the former will that effect how they see Alucard?
Annette definitely doesnt know who alucard is or what his story is, so I think she's the one I can most easily see raising the question of why they should trust and ally with this random vampire (dhampyr but I dunno if they'd identify that on sight). Thus giving a good reason for someone, either Richter or even Alucard himself, to give some exposition on the subject. Even after that though she may retain some standoffish caution around Alucard until his actiosn compound enough that shes able to trust him.
Mizrak, I think, may know who Dracula was and MAY even know some of the details of his destruction given he works for the church and the church is more likely to have kept records of the whole thing. Though if he DOES know its possible he's only gotten some very biased and/or inaccurate accounts given that I don't think Sypha or Trevor would have left their own account of events to the church. Oddly enough I can see Mizrak willingly working with Alucard. After all he had his whole relationship with Olrox (tho it didn't end well) and while he clings to his faith strongly enough that he put up with the actions of the abbot, he seems to have a pragmatic side that might reason that even if Alucard is a vampire working for his own reasons, he's a powerful ally they desperately need. Plus he may be able to reason that keeping someone like Alucard where they can see him is a good move.
Maria is interesting because her mother was a speaker and she's been growing up alongside Richter for years. It's possible Richter told her about what his ancestors got up to, and maybe even about Alucard. Maybe he just thought they were aspirational stories his mother told him as a kid. Then again, its still possible she doesnt entirely know the full story of who Alucard is as a person. Plus after everything she just went through with the vampires and her father's betrayal, she may not be emotionally in a place to trust Alucard right off the bat. Of course, discussing how Maria reacts to Alucard is especially interesting considering game canon. Or rather the vagueness of game canon. I mean, Alucard and Maria are a popular pairing in the Castlevania fandom and not for no reason, but canon itself opts to be vague about the nature of their relationship. I mean, theres no mentions of them getting married, etc. So whether they were romantic, one sided on Marias side, or purely platonic is one of those things thats really kind of an a la carte for fans.
With all that being said, Maria is bound to become close to Alucard in some way assuming the creators of Castlevania Nocturne intend to stay close to canon on this front. But for long time video game fans this is easily one of the most looked forward to developments come season 2.

How He Would Really Be (or) Baby Daddy Red Flags
I might also name this Baby Daddy Red Flags 😂😭 I don’t know
Actually this is gonna be a lil fun text post series that’s slightly fan fic but moreso a Drabble that’s acknowledges our collective delusion. It comes from a tumblr experience I had I’ll elaborate on and link later:
First Off: Alucard (Hellsing / Hellsing Ultimate)
He’s an OG baby daddy tbh (I’m black I know I’m using og wrong, it’s been butchered beyond redemption. Oh well. 😭) he’s truly part of my “damn this type is not good for me in real life.” (LMAOAOAO)
I love yall but alucard (hellsing) is so overtly and dangerously yandare (one of my main men so im not judging) but I am amused by coding to him to be “mean to everyone but me” if he in character grew that true of a bond with you. 1. You’re never going outside or out of his site like actually 2. You could do whatever you want INSIDE but like don’t try to leave 😭 3. You’re literally never gonna be independent again like fuck him just eavesdropping all the time he’s gonna be lurching over you so bad your back is to his chest every other step 😭
I can absolutely see him getting “mad” at you when his affection INEVITABLY gets overwhelming. I could see Alucard wanting to dress you, bathe you, and while it can seem hot that’s pretty…👀 he also would absolutely put you in a situation you think he won’t save you from but does. Likewise any public outing requires hand holding the entire time. Don’t worry he’s strong enough to maneuver you as he needs but I get annoyed when men just use their strength randomly with me 😭 not negative but like okay big boy wtf 😂
He’d throw you to the wolves and have you likely in some real ass traumatizing fake dangerous scenarios to save you and make you that much more dependent on him. This is literally Vlad the Impaler (for those who watched Ultimate, plus that form is genuinely so fucking hot omfg.) he lowkey did this to Sera mind you 😭 he literally will let Anderson scare the fuck out of you cause they’ll both have the hidden agenda of mutual amusement (like their literally bros if they stopped being intolerant of each other LMAOAOA)
That is a man of overreaction, self indulgence, self righteousness, and performance…have fun. 😀
Again…you think he gonna let you have any freedom? Your choices will be faux independent my loves. You’re his and I imagine (me @ 12 Jesus I needed another baptism) you likely wanna be his 😭 but yeah girl all men are burdens he’ll just be a really parental, controlling one. Plus he old as hell and will likely wanna lecture your young mortal ways like ew shut up grandpa. Only way out is linking up with Sera and Integra. Sera will sneak you out and have safe fun with and Integra will be sure to demand Alucard leave you both alone. You’ll be supported and protected but def link up with the girlies to keep him in check.
(This actually literally amuses me so much and feels very sex in the city for no reason lmaoo) + who else is actually gonna be the worst to be with? (Gojo, all tea all shade)

This is probably gonna sound odd and sudden, but I love your Hellsing theories and character headcanons so I thought I’d take a shot.
Does anyone else hc that Alucard might be a little bit of a misandrist?
From his past, it would make sense, and his closest relationships are mostly women with the exceptions of Walter (and Anderson if you wanna add that mess into it).
Maybe it’s just a little bit of projection on my part, but it seems that to me Alucard gravitates towards women when it comes to any type of relationship before men.
This is an interesting take, and I do see how someone could arrive at this conclusion. Alucard has suffered much at the hands of men, between his childhood victimization at the hands of the Ottomans and his further-traumatizing defeat and enslavement by Van Helsing (something we know has left deep emotional wounds in his psyche, given the nightmare sequence we see him wake up crying from). One could easily make the argument that this has resulted in an aversion to men, and while I don't think it's a core facet of his character, it's all in how one wishes to read the script.
Me personally, I think this mostly plays on inversion of the usual tropes of vampirism, as Hellsing and Hirano both really love to do that. Take, for example, the scene where Integra forces Seras to drink her blood through a domineering and seductive approach to force Seras to embrace her base instincts, that she has thus far insisted on resisting. This type of scene is normally inverted. Most vampire fiction would have a female vampire pushing and seducing a human woman, and moreover, it is far more common to see this dynamic in the classic Male Vampire/Human Female that is so archetypical and classic a trope for vampire lit.
Subsequently, it is then very subversive and interesting that Alucard's Master whom he is so dedicated to, is Integra. A woman. It is implied that he has mixed feelings about Van Helsing, and his opinions on Arthur aren't explored much beyond showing that Arthur was something of a womanizing buffoon. It could stand to reason that Integra being a woman lowered Alucard's hackles, even if it were subconscious. I personally think this is moreso commentary on the dynamic and duality of human and vampire and part of Hirano being a geeky little dude who enjoys playing with tropes and turning them inside out, upside down, pulling them apart and putting them back together again.
But, as I say, the implications are certainly there!

Soft!Alucard/Adrian Tepes x Speaker!Reader
PLEASE READ!!! English isn't my native language so please don't hate on my grammar😭
This takes place after S4 while they start building Belmont.
Fluff and use of Y/N
The spring starts to go away and the warm sunbeams of the summer fall on the earth. Its been a hard time for the trio. But after the fight against death, the trio is finally reunited. Sypha and Trevor are even expecting a little one. As Alucard is sitting on the Stairs outside the Castle, his view falls on Sypha talking to a Woman who he's never seen before. As Sypha catches the Blonde man in her eye, she starts to walk torwards him with the unfamiliar Woman next to her. ,,Good morning Alucard! I want to introduce you to someone." Alucard eyes wander from Syphas moth to the Woman next to her. "This is Y/N, a old friend of mine. My Grandfather and Y/N's Mother knew eachother and we kinda became friends. She is a Speaker too by the way." Sypha said while looking at the Woman next to her.
"Nice to meet you Y/N. My name is Adrian Tepes, but I preffer Alucard."
Its been a while since Y/N showed up. And Alucard had mixed feelings about her. It has been pretty obvious that he had way bigger feelings about her than just platonic ones. And that smile hit him the most. Oh god, that smile. But Alucard has always been diffucult when it came to feelings. He just hoped that she would do the first move. But loves makes blind, do blind that he can't even see that his love interest feels the same. Its so obvious it almost hurts! And at that point Sypha and Trevor had enought. They had to bring them together.
Sypha still doesn't know how she managed it, but she succesfully gave Alucard the confidence to ask Y/N out. It doesn't had to be something big. Maybe just eating something together or a late night walk.
Alucard spotted Y/N while she did some practice with her spells. It was late and the most people where already sleeping in their tents or finished houses. So the young speaker Woman was pretty much alone. Her eyes fell on Alucard while he was walking up to her. She put on her warm smile again and waved to him. "Good evening Alucard. Is everything okay?" She asked him. Alucard smiled back, telling her that everything was okay.
"Uhm, so I wondered if you wanna have a walk with me? Just us two? Only if you want of course." Alucard said, clearly nervous. Y/N's smile grew wider. "So a date?" She asked. Alucard could feel his cheeks getting hotter. "You could call that." He said. Waiting for a answer from the Woman infront of him. "If thats so I would love to Alucard!" She said looking him directly in his eyes.
Alucard could feel the weight fall from his shoulders from this answer. Maybe life isn't that bad after all.

Thoughts on this scenario?: Alucard sometime before s3 or during s3 meeting Trevor's older sister (neither of them are aware they have a sibling who survived the massacre) after she show up at the castle knocking on his door with her knife like "WHY is Dracula's castle on top of my family's ruins?!" I think it would be very interesting for both of them. (Especially once Alucard tells her that her little brother is alive.)
A/N: Lol, this is effing hilarious! I can totally just see Alucard watching this woman come out of nowhere and start throwing cheap shot punches and being like: “There’s ANOTHER Belmont??”
Alucard Meeting Trevor’s Older Sister Headcannons
So she shows up to what she expected to be nothing more than a pile of ruins only to find said pile of ruins plus a giant ass castle next door. Which makes no sense because 1) Why not repair the Belmont home if someone was going to build something there? And 2) Why choose to make a big ugly-ass castle of all things?
On the inside, she’s like: ‘Has it really been THAT long?’ (Maybe, lol.)
Once the initial shock subsided, she’s like, ‘Okay, this thing’s gotta go’ because again, it’s ugly af, and it can’t be good for the open-earthed Belmont Hold to be responsible for supporting all that weight.
So she goes to the door and starts banging on it like she owns the place.
Of course, the doors swing open revealing a very disgruntled Alucard.
Commence the interrogation.
She’s all like: ‘Who the fuck are you?’
And he’s like, ‘Um, excuse me, I live here, who the hell are you?’
And she’s like, ‘Well I lived here first!’
And Alucard’s like, ‘That’s a very immature argument.’
And she’s all like, ‘Oh yeah? You wanna go pip-squeak?’
And Alucard’s like ‘I’m literally a foot taller than you.’
And she’s like ‘Well fine, that makes you the perfect height for me to do this!’ And she knees him in the groin.
…
…
Suddenly it clicks for Alucard. “Are you by any chance a Belmont?”
“Yeah, what’s it to ya?”
Needless to say, the two of them are quite shocked to learn the identity of the other. She’s half in denial that her little brother, if he really is alive, would be friends with a dhampir. And Alucard’s not sure she is Trevor’s sister once they get to talking, mainly because she’s well-spoken and rather intelligent when not she’s not threatening to kick his ass, something Trevor is not.
But from his descriptions of their battle with Dracula, her gut tells her it really must be her brother Alucard’s speaking of.
“I take it you didn’t know he was alive, then,” Alucard says.
She's like, yeah, no shit.
But she still has a lot of unanswered questions: how did Trevor manage to escape? How did he survive being so young on his own? Why didn’t she hear of his existence until now?
Alucard doesn’t have all the answers, but he does have good food and wine, so she decides to crash in the castle with him until her brother returns.
It’s good for Alucard to have the company, mainly because he was starting to lose his mind. (Something she would pick up on like right away lol.)
But that’s okay because almost being murdered as a kid and then running from place to place fighting the odd supernatural creature has made her a bit crazy so they’re a decent pair.
Oddly enough, I think they sort of mellow each other out: she’s just hyper/nuts enough to get Alucard to stop wallowing in self-pity. And he’s just cautious and introverted enough to keep her from accidentally (ahem*intentionally*) burning the place down.
Sure, there’s a lot of ribbing, and witty jokes thrown back and forth between the two of them, but they’d probably form a strong bond based on mutual respect and necessity. Alucard realizes his mental and emotional state will improve if she stays, and she realizes her chances of fulfilling her destiny as a Belmont increase tenfold should she stay and learn from the ‘enemy’ himself.
Of course, it takes a while for them to overcome their residual prejudices of one another, especially on Belmont’s side. She’s spent her entire life viewing vampires as monsters- something to be eradicated- it’s not exactly something you can unlearn overnight. But Alucard is such an enigma, and the more she hears of his and Trevor’s travels and adventures in defeating Dracula, the more she sees him as human- the more she sees him as a friend, even.
They get very close. So close that they even think up ways to prank Trevor once he comes back, planning especially to use her existence as the central super-charged element of surprise.
Who knows, maybe if she was there with Alucard post-S2, things would have turned out more positively with the twins' arrival in S3. If Alucard wasn’t so dependent on them and them alone for companionship, he wouldn’t have been so hesitant to quickly teach them everything they wanted to know as a way to keep them at his castle longer. If Alucard was more open and forthcoming, the twins might have felt encouraged to put all their own cards on the table before making the drastic (and fatal) move that they did.
Thanks to her existence, any monsters nearby stand no chance against the occupants of the castle and the surrounding villages. With the newfound double-trouble Belmonts, no one ever has to be scared (or lonely) ever again.

it's been great seeing your walter posts in the hellsing tag 🫡 do you have any head-canons to share?
GEHEUEHEHUEEHHEE THANK YOU KIND ANON!!!!! hum... i think i already made a post about this on my older blog? but i dont really wanna find it + its probably really old so... here :o3 some new and some old just for u
- i Do Not like the depictions of walter where he's, like, a genuinely sick in the head and fucked up individual. it just seems grossly extreme to me. different strokes for different folks though
that being said, i do agree he's definitely not well. i think he has bpd,, mostly out of me projecting and what not but also because i think it just makes sense. growing up distanced from the people around you and not receiving proper emotional support does that to a mf
he's got a facade up damn near all the time. inoffensive, orderly, agreeable, prim and proper. not to manipulate the people around him for his own gain, but because he knows thats what other people want. anything less and he'd be a bad butler, and therefore, effectively useless
- not really a hc since this is just kind of a fact? but ill say it here because its what draws me to him the most: he's afraid of being rendered useless.
- he's not an emotional guy. i dont think he feels much most days. all his smiles are about as fake as the teeth he would've needed if he went on for much longer. i think he's been somewhat resigned to his fate for a while now, but that doesn't stop him from thinking what if every now and again
- he certainly is a jealous little bitch but he keeps that inside. if he ever got therapy he'd need like explosives and shit to properly get all of that pent up emotion out
- ^^ i think thats why he gets a bit sadistic when fighting others. its just a way to vent all that frustration
- i dont think he had many plans, if any at all, to turn on hellsing. he definitely had thoughts, but i think it all caught up to him one night and he just decided it was too much, and that he had nothing to lose that he wouldn't lose later on. either he lives an unremarkable existence in the shadow of alucard or tries to surpass that (he didnt) (he failed) (lol). ties into my bpd headcanon with impulsivity being a symptom
- he would've loved to have been a father at some point but has since abandoned it for many reasons. seras is about the closest he has to a daughter and the most he's opened up to someone emotionally, but he still keeps himself at an arms length.
- i like to think he grew out his hair at some point during the 80s for a mullet but liked having it long
- i also think he'd be big on rock when he was younger!! he tried it at first just because it was popular, but he found that it really spoke to him. i don't think he's much of a music guy outside of that though. maybe some jazz
- he is an incredibly lonely individual, as is expected of a butler. he can handle flirting somewhat but the idea of someone being genuinely attracted to him for who he is turns him into a sappy old-fashioned loverboy
- former christian. he still thinks there is a god (evidenced by vampires obviously) but that god has not been very kind to him to lead him down this path so why gaf
- very meticulous about keeping up his appearance. not a serious headcanon but its funny to imagine him up all night plucking each and every grey hair out of his head. if not just to look as presentable as possible, then it also helps his confidence. its nice to know that his apprarance is one of the few things he has control over
- speaking of which ??? i think hes confident.. but only in the persona he's made for himself yk. not in the real him who's body could fail him anytime. not the human part of him.
- not good at taking compliments but loves them. praise him too much and too often and you'd finally see him emotional i think. really, letting this man know that his worth is not defined by how useful he is to others would fix him
- i think his monocle is both for appearances and because he's got a bum eye, trying to hide it in a way that fits
- poor guy doesn't sleep well most nights. his morning tea, if he's able to have any, is highly caffeinated (i dont think he'd be that much of a coffee guy- not to mention the whole tea drinking thing is befitting of a british butler, so he'd roll with it)
- i'm on my period... so.... like.... i'm going to get a little freaky on main rn (feel free to skip over this, its nothing explicit) but i get So Sick of people seeing him as the daddy dom archetype. like yea older man ouuuu i have daddy issues oauauuu choke me whatever but i'm more inclined to think that he'd actually too insecure about his ability to please his partner to be that way. atleast, not without some sort of affirmation.
again, different strokes for different folks, but like. he is bordering 70. he grew up in the 1930s. i cannot be the only one who thinks this. or maybe i'm just a huge pervert idk (yes ❤️)
- in a similar vein, i'm glad that i havent seen any fanart of him muscular because i would be so mad but in the most respectful way possible – this man is, like, rail thin. i do think he does a decent amount of exercise when he can so its not like he's not a pile of bones. i'll admit that i've maybe drawn him a bit too skinny in the past though
ok my pain meds r kicking in and making me sleepy... if some things r kinda incoherent thats why. THANK U AGAIN ANON!!!
#u would think that this man absolutely disgusts me with the way that i talk about him#somehow hes very comforting in a way. like yea hes sexy but his character is also a reminder that aging isn't something to necessarily be-#-scared of#and thats something i worry alot about#flea talks#hellsing#walter c dornez#cc: walter#flea's headcanons

Kay is a sexy bastard
Lila going to find Kell at night when he passes out in his room at the palace and crawling into bed beside him??? Top tier ship let me tell you.
Kosika while i do like her, i felt her chapters were a little bit repetitive and kinda dragged a little for me in the middle, but the ending in black london..... my god
GHOST/SPIRIT HOLLAND???? I missed my husband so much like please i'm being tortured. He's there but he's not because they say it's him but something is definitely off there too???
Also i relate heavily to kosika because i too would do whatever Holland asked me too and worship him as a saint
URM RHY AND ALUCARD BEING MARRIED??? SHUT THE FUCK UP WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE
I adore the whole dynamic between Rhy, Alucard and Nadiya i think it was so tastefully done and though i find Nadiya to be a little shady i like her whole inventor thing and i appreciate her loyalty towards her family
REN IS A PRECIOUS LITTLE CUTIE PIE
The fact that she's named Tieren and the way she adores animals and has a billion random pets, and the way she is fascinated by Lila and oblivious to any awkwardness Lila has around her. Just wonderful. Such a little sweetheart. If anything happens to her i will be banging on ms schwab's door !
Tes. I love her. I don't even know what else to say. I think she's brilliant. Her chapters were so entertaining to read. Her back story was intriguing. Her gift is so special. Her interactions with Lila were top tier and i definitely need them to work together again !

Not a request but a sweet little ramble for a Castlevania/Blood of Zeus. Alucard was in a romance with a demigod child reader of one of the gods before Alucard went to sleep for centuries, reader's godly parent comes in to take reader to be with the other gods till Alucard wakes up from his slumber. So Reader agree with the deal and was given ambrosia to give them immortality/longer lifespan. By the time Ritcher and his friends are around, Reader reunites with Alucard and playfully tells him "Wanna have a nice dinner like you promise when we meet again sometime?" Why did I thought of the last part don't ask me I can see them acting like an old married couple that bickers but doting at the same time.
Awww that’s so cute!! 🥰 🥹💕
Also given that Blood of Zeus, Castlevania are animated by the same studio it tracks!
But I can totally see demigod!reader just cracking so many immortality jokes with Alucard, an intimacy in all types of words and actions, he doesn’t feel so alone in his responsibilities when he can rely on you
Even Richter thinks you’re both cute AF
Plus, he knows you can more than take care of yourself so his fears are minimal there. And all the stories you two can swap of the travels you take

Why I think Nocturne is way better than the OG Castlevania series
Sorry, when I try to shut up about this show I be like
so here’s my unsolicited, highly biased word vomit that will contain spoilers at the end (but those will be under a cut) so read at your own risk! Okay, leggo
It’s actually diverse.
One thing about high fantasy is that it’s almost always Eurocentric. Even if it’s not set in Europe, the characters are gonna inexplicably have British accents because we associate that with high fantasy. We’re gonna have European style “old” clothing choices. And if everyone isn’t white, they might as well be because they’ll only throw in a couple ambiguously brown side characters and call it a day. Or if they make a main character a POC then best believe everyone around them will be white.
Nocturne, tho? Oh, you can tell it’s made with more than just a sprinkle of representation. They didn’t just make Olrox indigenous, they tied his Aztec lineage in beautifully. Annette was a slave but it’s not flattening her character because of it. Drolta came to slay but even she has her authentic background. Which leads me to my next point!
The Black characters especially are done tastefully.
Like… don’t get me wrong. I love Isaac. He was the only reason I stayed tuned into Castlevania past season 1, LMAO! But his backstory felt like straight trauma porn cooked up by a non-Black person who wanted an excuse to see a Black man whipped for character development.
Zodwa Nyoni wrote some episodes for Nocturne and she put her FOOT in it. When it came to addressing Annette’s time as a slave, her connection to the Orisha through her bloodline… I was gobsmacked at how accurate everything was and now I know why LOL! Like, for me, it’s always gonna be hard to see slavery in fiction but I can’t say shit bad about how it was tied into everything in this show. Annette’s ancestors play such a huge part in her growth and it just warmed my heart to see a Black girl whoop some colonizer ass without it feeling hamfisted. 🥹
The token relationship is the cishet one, everyone else is gay asf
I love that trope flipped on it’s head, ngl LMAO! I, by default, HC everyone as bi anyway but MAN was it nice to see Olrox and Mizrak speedrun enemies to lovers and a hint of Drolta’s devotion/gayness to Erzsebet.
I know the majority of my fictional character thirsting leans male but don’t get it twisted; I jump for JOY for gay shit in media 😂 The only reason I don’t thirst as hard for female characters is because I prefer my men fictional but my women real.
That being said, this series sent me into bi panic and I’d like to be manhandled in a room by Drolta and Olrox.
Nocturne’s first season plays out neater than the OG’s first season.
Like… okay. My main beef with the OG series was that after they defeated Dracula, the rest of the show felt like a meandering fanfic. Sure, there were a few badass moments, but the energy kinda faltered for me and I was bored with a lot of it. I hope they don’t do the same with Nocturne; they left off at a nice cliffhanger which builds anticipation for the next season and… idk it feels more cohesive already? They coulda speedran kicking Erzsebet’s face in like the OG trio did to Dracula but I’m so glad they left us a lil something to look forward to.
Alucard’s glow up >>>>>
I’m chronically online but I’m so glad I went into this series blind because the way I GASPEDT when he showed up at the end
Like damn for the past fifty-leven years he was in that castle by himself going “do I wanna talk to Sypha and Trevor plushies again or do I wanna make myself even more of a bad bitch?” Then he chose the latter, went to the salon, got his hair bleached platinum along with some sew in extensions for volume, beat his face with Fenty, and said “sorry Drolta but there can be only one vampire baddie on this earth and hunny I’m TAKIN IT”
He looks more like his video game design this way too, which I love! I hate that he took out Cuntress McSlay tho 😔 Drolta I will always love you!!
Mmkay. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to start a cult to Olrox real quick. Erzsebet ain’t the only god walking the earth and I feel he just needs good marketing!
#I don’t know what to do until season 2 😩#there’s just so much I want to see but I have to WAIT#Annette is badass now but I know her character development bout to go CRAZY#her and Richter gone have biracial babies just watch!!#wonder what her ancestors gone think about her being with a colonizer tho 👀#ah well Richter will treat her right I know it#oohhh I bet her locs will be down her back by the end of this series#Richter better get his long hair too!!#castlevania nocturne

∗ —— Adrian “Alucard” Tepes x D.
∗ —— Part one, part two, part three, part four ( coming soon ).
∗ —— NOTES: This story is inspired by some of the fanart that is done by tender miasma / suzannart! The worlds of Castlevania and Vampire Hunter D are connected to one and another.
D sat himself at the back of the tavern, in a corner that wasn’t occupied by a single soul. His back faced towards the very few people inside and surprisingly no one had noticed him; or at least no one bothered to comment on his presence. He wasn’t planning on drinking anything, the beer had not interested him. To him the beer smelled foul but he wouldn't expect any better from a place that was in shambles.
He listened in to the questionable conversation that was being held between the brothers who sat at the bar. Nothing about what they had to say seemed important in the slightest. The dhampyr closed his eyes for a moment until a young looking man barged in, panting like he was trying his best to find some air and eyes wide, about to pop out of sockets. "Ale! For Christ's sake,” he exclaimed in distress. Everyone seemed to shift their attention over to him, including D.
"Piter! We were just wondering if you'd spotted any attractive sheep on your ride out. What's the word mate?" Once the bartender poured the young man a mug of ale who had immediately begun to chug it down before breathing heavily once more. "The horde's been seen, sweeping west!"
"Shit, you think they'll reach us?" "I think they might pass us by. I don't know, I hope. I'm told they're closing on Gresit." "Serves 'em right. Stuck - up bastards." "Ah, come on . . ." "No. No, it all comes down to the families and the houses, doesn't it? The great houses of Gresit." Bosha spits upon the ground. "Vlad Dracula? An old family. The capital? All run by the great houses. And they're not even the worst. The Belmonts?"
The conversation had gotten much more interesting which was the reason for D to turn his head so he was able to see the four slightly better. He looked at them from the corners of his eyes and behind them sat a drunken man who grumbled under his breath, seeing that he had run out of alcohol. The man was no one other than Trevor Belmont himself.
"We should have killed all the Belmonts." Trevor turned away when the eldest brother spoke. He raised a hand to cover his face all the while mumbling a soft “shit” under his breath. He hunched himself down, as if not trying to be seen or caught. "It's all about these old families, like the Belmonts, who control all the power and go to war with each other. And who's caught in the middle?"
"We are." "We are! Because we don't matter. Do you know why? Where'd you come from?" "Well, out of your aunt, according to you." "You came from shit. I came from shit. We all came from shit." Trevor muffled their words from out of his ears as he grunted before looking at his empty mug. With a sigh, he walked up the front while knocking over his mug in the process. "Slaves to great old families and their games."
"Sorry. Can I get my ale . . ?" Trevor stood next to Piter with one arm leaning on the counter. "It's just that I think I'm sobering up."
"All right, all right, but wanna see some coin from you now." The bartender sent a glare in his direction and Trevor groaned before he reached down in his pockets and tried to search for his money but after some seconds, he realized he barely had anything.
"Hey, what's that on your chest?" Bosha pointed at the family crest and Trevor looked down while shrugging his shoulders, mumbling the words: “My shirt”. He then ignored the brother and looked at the bartender again. “Just one more tankard, eh Something to keep me warm while I find a tree to sleep under.”
"That's a family chest. I know it."
"I don't. Just one more drink and then I'll leave, all right?" Trevor attempted to ignore the man again, expression hardened and flashing with annoyance.
"That's a Belmont crest."
"Really? Look, here's the money." He tossed the money on the counter and backed himself away but he was stopped by the bickering man.
"You're a Belmont, aren't you? House of Belmont, family Belmont!"
"It seems trouble cannot be escaped." D mumbled under his breath before he stood on his feet, the chair scratching against the chair as he did so. He turned himself to face the others fully now with eyes narrowed.
"Never met them. Listen, just forget it. I'll just go." When Trevor tried to walk away, he was pushed back and nearly stumbled on the floor. Only from that point forward did everyone give him a look of anger, all except for D. "No, you're a Belmont! This is all your fault."
"I don't know what you're talking about " "Yes, you do." "Yes, you do. Everyone knows the Belmont dealt with black magic. The Belmonts dealt with monsters." "The Belmonts fought monsters, son . . . So I've been told. This is just an old shirt." "The Belmonts were excommunicated by the Church, banished, disowned, their lands taken because they were evil." "Evil." "And now Dracula's hordes are abroad in the land. And who's fault is that?" "Well it ain't mine." "The Belmonts traded in black magic, and now black magic is all over Wallachia. I think you know exactly whose fault that is.
"I'm leaving, okay? I'm leaving now." Yet again, as Trevor tried to excuse himself, he was pushed back. "So you can lead your monster friends back here?" "So I can find somewhere to piss and somewhere else to sleep." "No, you can sleep right here." "You haven't got your shovel."
As Bosha raised his fist to punch Trevor, his fist was caught by a rather cold hand. He looked up to see a man with a hat that covered the majority of his face but he was able to see dark blue eyes piercing down at him. “Who the fuck are you?!” He asked while his voice trembled but he tried to hide his fear with an angry expression.
"Dear god, you fucking taste gross!" Bosha looked down at his fist when he heard a muffled voice. It took him a moment when he realized that his fingers had been licked. With a high pitched scream he pulled his hand away and Kob did nothing but laugh. “And you scream like a damn girl.”
"If you stepped in before he started harassing you then that would have been perfect." Trevor looked at D and blinked but despite his words of rudeness he stepped over to the dhampyre and stood behind him.
"What was happening before all of this was none of my business." D's voice sent a shiver down Trevor’s spine. The dhampyre looked at Bosha who hid Kob, fearing for his life. He didn’t want to become possible food for the talking hand. “You are childish for a man who is in his fifties.”
"What did you just — ?!"
Before Bosha could even think about finishing his sentence, D turned on his heel and walked out of the tavern and Trevor walked behind him, but not before he was given the opportunity to flip the farmer off with a grin that said “eat shit”.
“Is there a reason why you’re here, Hunter D?” Trevor crossed his arms over his chest, his expression became serious. The dhampyre turned his head to look at the man before he had answered him.
“You know more about the situation at hand than I do. Don't you, Belmont?”
“Don’t answer my question with another question, you bastard!” D rolled his eyes and walked forward but Trevor had begun to walk along with him. “So I’m gonna kind of guess and say you’re here because of the whole Dracula and his wife situation?”
“Why else would I be here?” D asked and there was a grumble from Trevor.
“Do you believe in this so-called sleeping soldier?” Trevor let his arms fall to his sides. “It’s been the only thing I’ve been hearing for the last couple of days. I can’t believe how fucking stupid people are. How can you trust someone you don’t even know about?”
“The sleeping soldier is no one other than Dracula’s son.” Trevor gave the dhampyre a shocked expression while he paused his steps but D did nothing but continue to talk.
“We’re fucking doomed.”

||A heated check up||
Hello everyone. I’m writing a drabble request for a friend of mine. But lets see how this goes for now shall we? I hope you like and my friend as well.
||Drabble summary||
It's time for a check up! Right now, Alucard was doing some gardening before his husband called for him. He was wondering what he needed and goes to find him. But what awaits him? Read to find out.
((Guest muses in this drabble))
Quincy is from the animated mobile game Nu carnival but it also belongs to the amazing @ask-the-monster-nest
Adrian Fahrenheit Țepeșs is from the animated Tv series Castlevania and he also belongs to me. <3
||Warning||
*Heavy Nsfw content is present in this drabble
*Making out/kissing
((Note: This drabble will have heavy grammar mistakes and errors but this was written for fun and for my friend. I hope you understand but also enjoy please.))
"Alright love, what is this about? Why did you call me here?" Adrian was doing something in the back before he was called while entering the room but as he did, he stops to see his husband.
"Ah, there you are. I was just going to give you a little check up." Quincy, his husband, was looking at him with a gentle look on his face. He was wearing glasses and wearing a doctor outfit. Huh. It looks good on him.
"A..check up?" he asked.
"Yes. I Figure I check on my husband to see if he's doing alright. And being healthy." He said and yet, his husband was curious with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Love, you know I'm always fine..what are you planning here? Trying something a little sneaky I think?" he asked and yet Quincy didn't answer him.
"Honey?"
"Lets just say I just wanna check..to insure your good. It won't take long.......I assure you." Quincy walks towards him and yet, Adrian was unsure of his reason before being pressed up against the door. He felt Quincy taking his hand to lead him towards a medic bed to sit on.
"Now..shall we start?" he asked.
"........I guess so.." he mutters back while Quincy smiled.
"Good. Now, lets begin your examination."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At first, he was checked to insure his heath was good, heart was good. Adrian said nothing feeling the slight touches to his skin. Looking ahead while he was insuring things were good. He even showed something to check his throat.
"Hmmm, that looks good as well. Seems your doing well so far.." he said gently as Adrian looks curious to him. However, he was seeing Quincy lower something to smile.
"Now...we need to do one more test or two......." he said but Adrian was more confused.
"Two more tests? What else do I need to be tested for?" he asked gently but that's when he saw Quincy lean in but was behind him. He blinks unsure about this till he tenses feeling his fingers on his nipples.
"Uhhh Quincy? What are you...doing?" he asked.
"Just doing the last two tests...were checking your sensitivity...starting with these perky nipples of yours." He begins teasing them slowly while Adrian blushed looking at his fingers pinching and tugging them as Adrian was shutting his eyes twitching.
"Oh? Even with a few times, it seems the testing it helping....do they feel alright?" he asked and yet, he keeps teasing them hearing Adrian's soft panting. It did feel good. Way too good. And yet, he only looks more excited when doing so. However, he even blushed again to feel him lower down but pinches them even more to get a yelp.
"Nugghh!!"
"Hmm? You okay?" he speaks right into his ear, seeing the outer shell flush red. Why did his husband had to be like this even if it was pretty exciting. He panted softly with parted lips but he whines squirming in his hands as Quincy kept touching and teasing his nipples that he noticed a slight bulge in between his legs.
"Seems like my patient is reacting normally.." he teased but Adrian hissed before he turns him around to lower down now slowly licking one of his nipples.
"Ahhh y..you teasing b...brute..." he groans hearing the licks from his husband, shaking as his grips some of his hair. Why did he have to do this now? He feels Quincy's hands touching and holding his hips, now latching onto a nipple to suck on it while Adrian gasped softly moaning in the room.
"E..easy n..now..I don't want to...c..cum too suddenly..you know my chest is.."
"Mmmmmm..." He pulls at the nipple before letting go to look up at him. "I know. Sensitive. They would be given how I tend to suck on them when we are like this. Besides, their so hard right now...even when I poke them or blow on them they get hard....naughty vampire." he said and yet Adrian glares even if his face was red.
He was trying to stop his husband from teasing them again but shook feeling his nipples teased and stroked again. He tries to hold his moans back, letting hisses of pleasure slip past his lips. Quincy noticed only to smile sitting up.
"You alright? Your shaking." he said but Adrian glares more that he opens his eyes to look at him panting softly. He already felt hot knowing his body was aching again. Even now it was aching and burning. However, he felt excited even so while feeling his body shaking.
"So.....it seems you are having a reaction now..." he said to pull his husband up to him that he slowly feels Adrian shaking in his arms. However, he slowly feels him slipping a hand down into his pants feeling he was excited and wet.
"Hmmmm...a very normal reaction." he murrs into his neck as Adrian moans but grips the doctor coat feeling his fingers teasing his hole again as it was twitching. He only panted from the feeling that he feels Quincy laying him down but removes the pants slowly showing the lower part of him.
"We'll have to administer something to help with this...just to be safe." he teased and yet Adrian was shaking feeling his body burning once more. Why did it burn so much? Even with teasing his body and so on. For now, he only whines to see Quincy kissing his neck.
"You..nnuggg...will be t..the death of m..me...you..t...tease.." he hissed but Quincy chuckled.
"Then I hope it works for me too.." he said softly before sitting on the bed hearing Alucard gasp. He sits in his lap but was already lowering his own pants showing he was excited too. That same cock....he really was a brute. He shook to look at it as the tip was slick before Quincy pulls him against his body to give his vampire husband soft sweet kisses against his lips.
"So...I can't delay the fact you are now in need of help so..I shall help you." He carefully but so quickly lifts him up and had him over his twitching length. Adrian shook seeing the tip twitching before he lowers me down as he groans feeling the tip slowly pushing through.
He grips Quincy's shoulder, feeling soft heated kisses against his chest to help him relax. Even now he was still so big but it felt good. He felt his legs shaking as his hips lower down more and more till the tip goes through with a pop. He gasped feeling that but he only groans to quickly whine feeling his body burning. However, that's when he pulls his hips down all the way, filling Adrian up who threw his head back moaning out as his fangs show shaking.
"Still...very tight...my patient really has gotten better hasn't he?" he groans holding him but Adrian didn't move shaking from being so full. When was the last time they did it? It might have been a while as he was panting looking up.
"Mmmmmm....."
"Alucard?" Quincy sees him move his head but shows a heated expression to look at him.
"Haaa...if your going to help your patient....t..then prove it. Help me out..I think you did something to me.. "he said against his lips wanting to kiss him that Quincy looks to him before he wraps his arms around his shoulders to slowly kiss him.
"Then......I shall do just that." he said only to slam him down as Adrian cries out before feeling his husband thrusting into him. He always felt hot during this but he only held onto him while feeling him just thrusting up kissing Adrian deeply.
The two were lost in the pleasure as Alucard was crying out against his lips. It felt good. Hot but good enough to make him feel hotter. He was already aching again that it leaves him twitching again. He only slams his hips down himself while hissing and gripping the sheets feeling him thrusting more into him.
"Haaaa...haaaa...f....faster....faster.." Adrian moans looking at him dazed before Quincy thrusts faster seeing him crying out louder. His toes were curling up each time his spot was hit by him. He even tightens around him as well hearing Quincy's grunts.
He groans moaning out but he didn't slow down nor stopped. Feeling his hips just shaking and aching wanting more. However, this made Adrian slam down harder taking it all.
"Ahhh...ahhhh......f..feels good....your still a beast...." he moans softly but Quincy only panted still thrusting more into him. Though, his husband was so precious that he only held him down slamming deeper as his husband cries out clawing the bed. "Quincy!!"
"It's doctor...just relax..I have to be sure your taken care of." he whispered against his lips that Adrian moans shaking.
"T..then please doctor..h..help m..me...." he moans to kiss him on the lips. The two were rubbing against one another while they shared this heated moment. The bed creaking each time he moves. The burning heat building in Adrian's lower stomach before he breaks the kiss moaning out in the room.
"Ahhh..ahhh.....g..gonna.........ahhhh!!"
"Haaa..are you close? If you are then you can let it out. Go ahead.." he said as Adrian was holding onto him while shaking. He didn't want it to end but he only grips what he could taking it.
"Ahhh...I...c.can't..I can't t..take...mmmm...anymore..I..I'm gonna..c...cum!!" he moans but as Quincy kept hitting his spots over and over again this made Adrian scream out ripping the sheets. "Cumming!!!!!!!"
In a moment, Quincy slams his hips down as he feels Adrian cumming but he was tightening around him cumming inside himself. He panted looking at his husband before Adrian panted grinding his hips into Quincy's own.
"..Y..Your not done..mmmm....you can't be doctor...please...I..I need h..help.." he begs only for Quincy to sigh holding him.
"Don't worry. As your doctor I'll help you.."
With this, the sounds of moans and grunts were heard in the room but at least the doctor will take care of his patient.

I'm considering including Isaac and the original trio (Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard) into The Curse of Darkness, but only as glorified cameos for the ending. Not just for fanservice sake (though I want to write about Grant's interactions with the original trio), but also to wrap things up in a little bow (like a scene with Hector and Isaac, to show how far they've come).
Because there's a three-year time skip between Season 4 and CoD, it would be a good time as any to give Isaac his red hair (y'know, just to show the passage of time since then).
As usual, if you think there is room for it in your story, go for it.
The thing about Isaac and Hector is that... they already had their resolution. Isaac let go of his desire for revenge and forgave Hector for being stupid, and Hector appreciated how much Isaac had grown, you know, in case we missed it the first two times the characters sat down and told us he had grown. I'm really not sure what else you could add. Isaac being the one impressed with Hector, for once? My issue with their "reconcilation" in canon is that the two had zero relationship beforehand, Isaac thought Hector was an idiot while Hector didn't seem to remember Isaac existed until he needed him, then they met again in S4 and Isaac was like "oh Hector I forgive you, you were stupid and passive anyway, also check out my character development <3 wanna be besties now?" and Hector was like "sure why not, yeah nice character development wish i had one myself" and then once again only mentioned him in passing in the last episode to remind us he still exists. There is nothing there, and having them reuniting three years later in your fic would be the same thing the show did, only hopefully less Isaac-centered. To be blunt, the only thing I would really love to see from Isaac in your fic is the disaster he made trying to rule a kingdom he conquered by force only to feel good about himself while he had zero expertise on how to be a king.
I like the idea of giving him red hair, though :P he looked so handsome in that concept art with the red dreadlocks.

So I Wanna Talk Vodou in Castlevania: Nocturne But First...
We gotta talk about Magic in Castlevania as a whole. The problem though is that there's not much new to say that one can't grasp from watching the show and being exposed to other media which includes magic (which is like what? 99% of all fantasy fiction?). The show doesn't go out of its way to explain anything about how magic works but then again what is there that needs explaining? Pretty brown lady does some finger stuff and something goes boom or sparky, a couple of guys can raise the dead, something something levitating sword, something something magic portals, something something something something magic exists, just deal with it. What seems to be of interest to the show is how magic is used by each character and what that says about them, their roles in the story, and their arcs.
Sypha, for example, is the powerhouse of the main trio boasting the most diverse and deadliest set of abilities since her magic consists of control over fire, water/ice, and lighting. This has led her to be key to some of the team's wins over various vampires, creatures, or even humans. While Trevor may struggle with one enemy, she could be handling several at once. This dynamic is most evident during the fight with Dracula as Daddy Drac could handle his son and a Belmont but Sypha was a wildcard that he knew he would have trouble. Even if you can argue that by herself she could never beat Dracula, her presence was the edge that the trio needed. But what does that say about her? She's adventure- loving, brave, and her knowledge as a speaker gives her insight where Trevor's experience and Alucard's vampiric and scientific knowledge might fail them. However, none of this is more important, I think, than her role as the "heart" of the team. Trevor and Alucard are cynics held back by their respective familial traumas to see the world for what it is, she provides optimism and love for life and humanity that both lacked and this aspect of her character enabled them to think in ways they weren't able to before. Like her magic, she's able to take the elements of those she loves and make them into something more powerful than what they seem capable of. Get it?
You can basically extend this analysis to most of the cast. Nothing entirely too deep either for people whose hobbies involve over-thinking about the stuff they watch. You see, my thing is magic in most fiction isn't really... magic and that has some bad implications for Annette's Vodou in Nocturne. Why? Because it's basically just science when physics is weird and wonky. That's not even off brand for it either, we all know that one quote about advanced enough science being indistinguishable from magic but even before this quote some Italian guy name Giovanni Pico della Mirandola said that magic was the practical application of natural science. The video I reblogged of the guy moving a crowd of bugs from the light in his yard to the streetlight is absolutely magical... but pretty easy to explain using bug psychology. Hell some scientists go out of their way to find miracles from various faiths (mainly Christian though) and try to explain them just for funsies (or apologetics) to stretch the limits of what science can explain and what it can't. This is all well and good for a view of magic that is centered around the idea of it being manipulation of phenomena but it kind of runs against other perspectives that see magic and adjacent activities as more than just phenomena. Take, for example, the existence of deities. If there is a fire god, what is fire magic? Does the magic come from the god? Do you need to have a special connection with the god to do the magic? Is it possible to become a fire god if you're powerful enough or is there something more to the title? What separates what the god does from the magic a human performs? If not a god, what about a fire spirit? Is there a difference between a spirit and a god? Do spirits take on the form of the element itself or are they separate from it? Notice how me adding in the element of a conscious thinking entity now muddies the waters a bit. Now what would be a simple "application of science" is now a question of relationships between two persons.
Let's apply this back to Sypha. Sypha's magic is manipulation of fire, lighting, and water. Assuming that elemental spirits/deities exist, how did she acquire such skills? Does she pray to them, bargain with them, worship them? Is there a ritual involved that she has to perform? It's a bit of a headscratcher if we think on it but I don't believe that she's dealing with any external entities with her magic and I'm certain the writers intended for her magic to be as straight-forward as it appears. And notice how the other magic in the show fit a similar simplistic "mold"? Alchemy and Forgemastery are basically in the same "do a thing then a thing happens" territory that Sypha's elemental kinesis fits in. But just like how adding in a "second party" into the mix of the magic throws a kink in how we're supposed to perceive Sypha's magic, doing so for Alchemy and Forgemastery does the same. In fact, Alchemy stops being Alchemy the moment you start adding in cosmic beings because it practically ruins the point of alchemical work. So in a world where all the magic is connected together by a common "science-y" theme to it all that's supposed to enable us to shut off our brains and just accept said magic without explanation because we trust that there is one, how do you fit magic where entities are a part of how everything works? And when the magic you're introducing is from a faith that's been demonized to hell and back, how do you make it fit into your world with good representation? Well, for Nocturne, the answer is not terribly but not all that good either...

Hello this is a brief tirade for myself regarding Netflixvania, so if you don’t want to hear anything negative about this adaptation then very sincerely, please move on and keep your peace.
I will not be holding back. And if you go in after the fact and take issue, this was your decision and I will not be responding to you.
--
Already from Season 2 I had this weird lingering suspicion that the writers have a thing for Alucard, like I’ve told a friend before that it felt like an Alucard-Only run. And sure, the guy is cool, everyone and their mothers love him I get it. But he doesn’t get that grand chance to shine until several hundreds of years later.
Perhaps it’s my own bias towards the Belmonts, but Trevor was done Dirty. Alucard gets all his cool tricks, and all Trevor got to do was pull out a sword after Drac got stabbed by ~You Guessed It~.
And assuming these leaks are true, as I’ve been trying to avoid them like the plague, my suspicions couldn’t be any more confirmed.
I am all for having your own takes or adaptations, but if you’re getting(?) permission from the source material themselves to make something that large of a scale and do it that poorly of justice... You should have stuck to fan fiction like the rest of us.
If you didn’t give that much of a shite for the Belmont Clan, hell if you really hate them that much, why didn’t you just go straight for Symphony of the Night since you wanna ride Alucard so badly. You could’ve already written Richter as such a horrible guy at that point, easy writing points for you.
I’ve actually been approached more than once with things relating to this adaptation by people knowing I love Castlevania, but don’t know that I dislike Netflixvania. That is on my fault for not being clear in order to avoid conflict, but how much clearer can I make this? I can’t look at it. It makes me want to vomit.
That Alucard, makes me want to vomit. Who are you?
I’ve given this show many chances. Like many. I PAID for the last two seasons since I normally don’t even use Netflix. But now I know that I really can’t trust them to do anyone right, let alone a Belmont.
So you can pry Juste from my cold, heartless hands.
And heaven forbid if I have to see that heinous picture of Richter again, I will need to knock myself out to forget about it entirely. I’m usually good at weaving my way around things but now I gotta get better (he was the only one I saw by accident, for better or worse).
I am just not ready for more people to write him all stupid-ugly. Again.
