Adrian hadn't seen him like this before — something wasn't right, despite the things Billy had or hadn't done. He exhaled softly, crouching down to his level and subtly studying him, a slight frown on his features. "Listen to me," came his low and steady voice, pausing to make sure the blond was paying attention. "You might have made some bad choices or mistakes or whatever, but that doesn't make you a bad person, okay?" His brows knit together as he noted the tears streaming down his face.

Slowly, Adrian reached out his hand, yet stopped halfway. Maybe it wasn't a good idea — his reputation for aggression wasn't exactly a secret, after all. But something pushed him forward, already gently cupping his cheek and brushing away stray tears with his thumb. "Take a few slow, deep breaths for me, all right? Come on... I'll do it with you."

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.

This new season is going to kill me <3

Adrian's gaze was still fixed on the Oosquai, absentmindedly and slowly rolling the liquid around the inside of the mug. "Much like nightmares, yes," he agreed lowly, finally meeting Rand's gaze across the table. Then, with a sliver of amusement, he added, "You ask questions you already know the answers to." He took a long pull from his drink, then leaned forward with his elbows on the table, subtly searching Rand's expression. "But I must know what the pay off is; you must know, even those who are greatly experienced find risk in such ventures."

@ash-muses said: "This house is a shadowbox, never meant for human things."

His words seemed to make Rand think, too hard possibly. He had been feeling less than human, of late, although he had never told anyone else about that. Yet Adrian seemed to be know things that Rand didn't and so he didn't see the harm in opening up the door at least the smallest amount. The both of them were Channelers and that linked them in the world where that seemed akin to belonging to The Shadow. "Much like nightmares, right?" He questioned, looking up at him. "Also something that you can help me with, can't you?" He had shielded his dreams from Aes Sedai and Forsaken but he wasn't too sure how much longer that would last without them finding a workaround.

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 what does my husband think of my new look. Also our little one as well." Quincy stood in front of Alucard

"What do I think?" He taps his cheek a little looking at his husband with their little vampire princess watching. "I say it is impressive. You look amazing as you always do." he chuckled.

"Yeah, daddy looks really cool!" Lisa smiled looking at him.

Adrian had been taking a walk near the woods when he had picked up on some sort of commotion. He had heard about Eddie Munson through the grapevine — it wasn't hard in a town like Hawkins — although he hadn't spent time around the guy personally before. Mostly, he had interacted with him at Camelot Music, the record store Adrian worked at. However, some of the things that Adrian couldn't stand were religious zealots and bullying — two things which seemed to go hand-in-hand whenever Jason Carver was involved.

When he spotted the familiar yellow and green, the flash of a bat, then heard the taunting echoes off the dense forest, he knew it couldn't be anything good. Probably against his better judgment, he picked up his pace and changed directions, heading toward whatever they were following. He had been careful to avoid being seen by them, looming along the edges of the trees and keeping an eye out. Then, he recognized the figure in the distance — Eddie Munson.

He was already moving before they caught up to the metal head, and just in the nick of time, Adrian had leapt in front of Eddie. White-hot pain shot through his upper arm, accompanied by a sensation of weakness and intense tingling, then total numbness. There had been a yelp from both him and the guy that had swung, who had gotten an elbow to the face in the exchange. Adrian was certain the bat might have broken his arm if it hadn't been for stunning the jock, causing him to falter at the last few moments.

The impact had forced him to his knees, his other hand already clenching at the injury with a sharp inhale. "Fuck, fuck, fuck," he hissed under his breath, his pain shifting into rage as he processed the situation. His typical laid-back demeanor had dissipated, leaving behind a sense of ferocity in its place. Adrian didn't waste a second, however, leaping back onto his feet and snatching the bat from the guy; despite his arm being stiff and the pulsing he felt in it, begging him not to use it, he clutched the handle tightly with both hands, gaze boring into them intensely.

"Get up — hurry up," he instructed Eddie firmly, gently nudging him with his foot, his focus still on the two guys in front of them. When he was on his feet, Adrian began to back away from the jocks, keeping the metal head close to him as they put distance between themselves and Carver's friends. Addressing them, his voice was laced with an edge of warning and danger, "Follow us and I'll make sure you regret it." With that, Adrian turned suddenly, grabbing Eddie's wrist and quickly leading him in a different direction, toward a semi-hidden, abandoned cabin he knew about.

Upon their arrival, Adrian immediately pushed the bat into Eddie's arms and locked the door. He lit one of the lanterns and set it on a large dining table in the center of the main entrance, wincing as he continued to move both arms. "What'd you do to get their attention, man?" he questioned, a sliver of curiosity and annoyance in his voice, although the latter wasn't caused by Eddie. Pulling out a handgun, he loaded up the chamber, put the safety on, and slid it into the waistband of his pants against his lower back.

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?"
