Adrian: My friends would never steal from the church, how dare you assume such a thing-

Trevor & Sypha: Actually we did steal it.

Adrian: ...

Adrian: Well what do you want them to do when it's right infront of them?! Not steal it!? You should've hid it better-

Patient is the Night

Summary: Trevor and Sypha settle in for the night after a long day of monster slaying.

Trevor x Sypha

[beevean]

@hypermascbishounen hope you don't mind if I save these comments because you explained very well one of the core, yet subtle issues with NFCV

I'm thinking now of all the interpersonal conflicts in NFCV; and they're all... lacking.

Dracula vs. the Church: the Bishop dies at the end of Blue Fangs. Indirectly, Dracula got his revenge, but obviously this amounts to little since Dracula is furious at mankind and the Bishop was ultimately small potatoes.

Trevor vs. Alucard: the idea is that they're rivals and foils in true CV fashion. The reality is that Alucard is a dry cunt to Trevor for petty reasons like "wah the vampire hunters hunt vampires :(" or "I'm insecure that I made the right choice :(". Anyway, this is resolved by the two fighting Dracula together, then Alucard is ditched until the end. Riveting.

Alucard vs. Dracula: as pointed out in the past, Alucard feels less heartbroken over having to kill his only remaining parent, and more displeased that the Science Man was pushed to be evil. I don't care if Dracula cries that he's killing his boy because we aren't even granted one flashback to flesh out their relationship.

Dracula vs. everyone: he's depressed and apathetic. If he doesn't give a shit, why should we?

Bonus: Dracula has no personal connection to the Belmonts. Trevor isn't even the one who kills him.

Hector vs. Isaac and Dracula: what relationship? They sit around calling him the R-slur, and he has no idea that they resent him so much. He himself only remembers Isaac exists when he needs him. Isaac has very little reason to hate Hector after Dracula's death, since Carmilla, Dracula and he did way more damage. (this makes their reconciliation in S4 hollow and forced)

Hector vs. Carmilla: unresolved. Lenore replaces her in S3, and Hector barely contributes to the final battle against Carmilla - he stays behind to coddle Lenore. Carmilla herself only sees Hector as a defective tool, and is barely concerned about him stalling.

Isaac vs. the Magician: who gives a shit? The Magician is nothing more than a deus ex machina to give Isaac what he wants.

Trepha vs. the cult that wants to resurrect Dracula: this one's a decent conflict, although the cult is more of an obstacle obviously.

Alucard vs. the twins: the relationship is superficially nice, but the betrayal comes so out of nowhere that it really feels like shock value. The indication that he would have fallen into misanthropy due to the trauma goes unresolved, he got better offscreen.

Hector vs. Lenore: as I said, Hector has no reason to oppose Lenore since he has no moral qualms about working for vampires and she would have given him what he wanted. She still tricks him for shock/humiliation purposes. The betrayal has no fallout whatsoever, the two become besties like nothing happened. Even Lenore's suicide comes out of nowhere, she expresses the desire with no gravitas, and he let her die with barely any torment.

Lenore vs. the Council: kind of? I am very generous in interpreting Lenore resorting to raping Hector because she feels insecure in her methods. She whines a lot about feeling sidelined in S4, but we see very little of it. Carmilla yells at her a bit, and she immediately spirals into "she lied to meeee :<". The two are actually excellent foils when it comes to their methods and objectives, but they don't butt heads about it.

Isaac vs. Carmilla: in theory they should have a personal reason to fight, since Carmilla was the one who eventually lead to Dracula's death. But the fight takes place after Isaac let go of Dracula, and is now simply playing hero stopping the villain from conquering the world. She, naturally, doesn't give a shit about him since the dude has the presence of a log in S2.

Trevor vs. Death: again, Death at this point is more of an obstacle than someone who matters personally to Trevor.

since you mentioned game Richter and his conflict with his family legacy: hey you know how Trevor has trauma over his family being killed when he was a kid because considered enemies of the Church? No? That's okay, the show didn't either, he finished his arc in S1 and that's it :D

To this, add another complaint I had, that friendships and romantic relationships are all banter (some of it even rather mean), no warmth.

It really is pathetic when compared to the gripping, interwoven relationships in the games. Juste and Maxim, Hector and Isaac, Shanoa and Albus, even Leon and Mathias for what little we see of them, they would all eat this for breakfast. The show pretends to be moved by characters, but honestly, it feels more moved by dialogue, which is very different.

(Nocturne is a little better. While Sun Thundercat is a pathetic villain and giving Richter the dead mom trauma is lazy as hell, at least we have more interpersonal conflicts: Richter vs. Olrox, Maria vs. the Abbot, Tera vs. Sun Thundercat, Annette vs. Vaublanc. The characters themselves are very paper thin, though)

Top 5 favorite and top 5 most hated NFCV moments? :)

>:( Fine. But just FYI I ain't bothering to re-watch the scenes so I'm just going to base it all on my (poor) memory

Top 5 favorite:

5. Isaac fighting alongside Abel. Although Abel is much more important than the show portrays him to be and he should have, imo, appeared much earlier, I remember I really liked his dynamic with Isaac. And the way he protected him before Carmilla explodes all over the place....... me WEAK

4. That Trepha moment where they're like "I'm not looking at you, Sypha." "But you're going to~". They're cute sometimes <3 (the little crack in Trevor's voice as he goes "yes" is- GAH. I want smth like this with the game versions :< (imagine it with Trevor's japanese VA.....))

3. Trevor fighting with two whips was visually cool <3

2. Trevor's first "I love you" to Sypha. ;-; Just when he accepted he was going to die for the good cause ;-; Knowing Sypha was with child and he won't be there for them but at least what he's going to do is going to allow them to live and Sypha will know how much he cared and will remember his last words as a little joke that meant "i know and i am sorry i can't be there for the new adventure" and ;-; THAT SHIT BE GETTING ME EMOTIONAL, MAN. I'm glad they never said those words to each other before, it makes it even more impactful when the times actually come <3 (one of the rare things NFCV does right lol) Though I wasn't as impacted by Sypha's own "i love you", don't know why. :<

1. When it ended. :) disclaimer guys, i literally took the joke from Bee, she deserves the credit for her own peak humour Eh otherwise there's this scene in S4 where Trevor makes Sypha sit down on a bed with him to talk calmly about things instead of rushing in for the first time in weeks, and I saw someone say once that it was his way to try and make Sypha tell him she was pregnant without having to push it, and it's a very sweet idea and I very much like it even if idk if it was the intent. It was a nice Trepha moment anyway. <3

Now to the... ERK. Top 5 most hated moments.

5. The moment Trevor found the Morning Star + The moment where he found that one cross thingy. I put them together because of one concept that links the two and annoys me to death: No one gives a shit about Trevor's findings, not even the show itself. By Trevor's reaction when finding the MS, we know it's like, a big deal. But he's the ONLY ONE to treat it as a big deal, Sypha just goes "lmao what's that ugly thing" and clearly doesn't care about what Trevor explains after. It's like he found a random object on the ground. The show doesn't bother to make us really feel how big of a deal this is. As if Trevor was just exagerating. Then in S4, Trevor find the cross thingy and excitedly shows it to Sypha, who still doesn't care (but at least pretends to this time, i guess, with not much conviction). And I guess the cross isn't as important as the morning star... but I get really annoyed at Sypha just seeing Trevor getting passionnate and going "bruh he found another toy". I would have had less problem with it if Sypha was shown to have interest in Trevor's findings (starting by the MS) before, and because Trevor keeps finding things, she gradually become less and less impress but still pretends to be because well she likes him and he's passionnate and it's kinda cute. But she literally never cared. It's yet another way to ridicule Trevor for me. :/

4. Everytime someone gets snarky/rude or swears. It's like the show is trying to convince itself of how much of an adult it is. "Oh but it's more realistic-" WHERE DO YOU LIVE TO HAVE EVERY SINGLE PERSON EVER SAYS "SHIT" AND "FUCK" EVERY TWO SENTENCE?? I AM BAREY EXAGGERATING. And it makes the joke that Trevor is having a bad influence on Sypha (the "i could piss in a glass and tell him it's beer after he just saved my life" girl) and Alucard (the "yes fuck you" boy) fall flat. Every one is rude in this world. Even DEATH ITSELF LIKE FOR FUCKING HELL'S SAKE

3. Carmilla's #girlboss first appearance. :) Dracula being unable to make his own court shut up is already stupid and horribly irritating (the fact he is actually whispering is more ridiculous than intimidating) but Carmilla appearing like a BOSS, making everyone shut up for SOME reason, and then insulting Dracula's wife, the whole REASON WHY THERE'S A WAR, right to his face with NO CONSEQUENCES FOR HER... URGH I HATE IT I HATE IT SO MUCH (and I am being generous because it is a top FIVE but there is not a single Carmilla moment i liked)

2. The moment Hector trapped Lenore to PROTECT HER. It was the moment I've been waiting for the whole season. The moment where Hector was going to reveal how he manipulated Lenore. The moment where he was finally going to give her a taste of her own medicine. The moment where he was finally going to go "I won't be a victim anymore, I am breaking free, fuck you. I can't believe you actually thought I could feel any kind of affection for a monster". But noooo, because Lenore was made soooo sympathetic, he HAD to actually fall for her! My heart and hopes and dreams literally shattered the moment Isaac arrived and Hector went "don't hurt her!" :)

1. When it started lolllll The two rape scenes. (they were mixed in one so it counts idc) Not because they exist. But because of what they led to. :) AKA, for Lenector: Rape apologism (it's okay because Hector's a man and he enjoyed it :)), romanticism of abuse (Lenore literally humiliated Hector in front of her sisters, talked about how she was going to use him for sex, went "i made you into my pet just like you always needed :)" while Hector was on his knees having a breakdown, then next season without any warning or development he's all fine with her again), the show shitting on the very idea of Hector getting any agency ever, Hector falling for Lenore with NO DEVELOPMENT, out of NOWHERE, because WHY would we need to show and explain why the abused man would fall for his abuser that he seemingly hated and planned on plotting against at the end of the last season?? There's so many things wrong with this ship and you and other people already explained it before. And for the non-twins twins x Alucard: Poor handling of trauma. We see Alucard crying afterward, cool, NFCV likes to make him cry, visibly. Then he PISS on their CORPSES (what a mature show, so well written compared to those shitty games :)). And though I can relate a bit to the "oversharing with a stranger" part, the fact said stranger literally goes "okay...?" when Alucard reveals his trauma to her like HE'S WEIRD FOR HAVING BEEN ABUSED and makes a JOKE OUT OF IT. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. And then we ever talk about it again or see any consequences of it either. Almost as if the sex scene was useless from the start. :)

Uuuurgh it's finally OVER. There's so much more scenes I could rant about, but hey, it's a top 5, not a top "however much number you need" :) (and thank the LORD it is because it was already complicated and long to make as it is lmao)

What are your favorite Castlevania ships?

trephacard

trepha

tera x abbot

trevorcard for the snark

gretacard

richter x annette

and because I’m not even going to hide it because it was a thing in the games and this is my otp there: alucard and maria.

[gretasworld]

They said they didnot gender swap Grant. They said Greta is a new character added to the show.

We say it is agreeable even with many obvious hints.

Grant Danasty was a crooked thief and wall climber of Targovishte, Wallachia. Grant is a white man. Grant took part with other heroes to bring down Dracula, was saved by Trevor from being held under Dracula's evils, had a one sided crush on Sypha, missed Trepha's wedding out of anger and finally built Wallachia. ( In the Game )

Greta is from Danesti which is located in Harghita County of Szekely land in eastern Transylvania which is far far from Wallachia's Targovishte. Greta is a village woman unlike Grant and an ethnic minority of Romania ( NOT AMERICA's ) judging her looks and location. She didnot participate in killing Dracula, she was a damsel in distress when her village was attacked, got rescued by Alucard and ended up liking him. Her weapons are different and she is not a hero unlike three others or Grant. She got nothing to do with Sypha except showing courtesy as well as Trevor who start to live in her village. ( In the shit show )

Her outfit colors and name sort of matches with Grant but other differences in other details say she and Grant maynot afterall be the same. Grant was skipped in the show fully, they said. Maybe. 😶

And maybe because confusion exists on Greta being Grant, fans didnot celebrate Greta and Alucard as much, we mean GretaCard as a couple. Why would they with so many shit going on ?

We personally liked her design among very few things in the shit show. It was certainly prettier than Sypha🙄

Greta needed better dialogues and longer time in limelight to be highlighted more. But then again, it's a fuckflix production so nothing good can be expected.

[the-velvet-worm]

When you realize that these “subtle” “hints” were being dropped in season 3 that Sypha (and Trevor) would eventually have a baby 👀

[achemonsphinx]

Mildly spicy Trevor/Sypha below the cut. 

Bringing this little sideblog back from the dead because Castlevania has destroyed my brain and also considering how many naughty bots follow me I really don’t think Tumblr cares all that much about enforcing their own TOS. Putting the spicy art underneath a cut just in case anyway, even though it’s tame as fuck. Pose referenced from Getty Images, that’s how tame it is. There aren’t even any female-presenting nipples.

Anyway Castlevania season four watered my crops cleared my skin and cured my depression and Trepha sustains my soul in these dark times. Where do people even go to scream about fandom things these days? Is the bird hellsite really the best option? 

Also HEY HOW ‘BOUT THAT BOTW2 TRAILER HOLY SHIT

Hello! 🤗

Welcome to my blog which I run for fun, oh hey! That rhymed.

Anyway, things to expect in this blog:

1. An extreme love for Adrian Fahrenheit Țepeș.

2. A lot of posts about Trevorcard and only, strictly Trevorcard.

3. Lots of content about the 'Țepeș' Family (especially Adrian and Lisa I love them so much sorry Drac)

4. Memes/text posts/fake tweets/fanarts.

5. Lots of pretty art from talented people! (If you wish, you can always dm me fanarts of Alucard, Trevorcard or Țepeș family)

Things I don't allow/post in my blog:

1. I like almost any ships except Trepha, Syphacard, Gretacard, Gretatrephacard or even Trephacard. As you have probably figured it out, I don't enjoy shipping Adrian or Trevor with anyone but eachother so please respect that <3

2. Homophobia, Transphobia, Discrimination or just hate in general.

3. Incest, Pedophilic and victim type ships are NOT welcome. (If you ship any pairing that includes a minor and adult or relatives or where one partner is a victim of the other, then I'll have to ask you to leave please. You are entitled to have your own opinion, just have it somewhere else)

4. Also please do not ship Alucard with any of Trevor's descendants here. (Yes I mean with either Richter, Julius, Maria or whoever else.) It's funny for a while but then I start feeling uncomfortable when it's shipping for real.

_

I'm totally cool with asks as long as it's about 'Castlevania'. Yes any of the franchise, be it video games or written out of canon.

Lastly, Enjoy to your fullest <3

[shadechu]

OMG, Alucard meeting Sypha's Caravan could be wholesome ♥️ specially because she dissapeared after trying to search for "Wallachia's sleeping soldier" (aka Alucard) and I can just imagine this AU like:

Sypha: HELLO, I'M BACK :D

*Alucard standing at her side, serious but inside he is just shy*

Speaker #1: Who is that? :0

Speaker #2: Wasn't he the guy who appeared with Sypha and the Belmont?

Sypha: That's right, you can call him Alucard (but I call him "Adri"~) He helped us to defeat Dracula at his castle, Trevor decided to stay and regarding Adri and me: we are together now uwu

Grandpa: *remembers he almost lost Sypha because of him* >:v

Alucard: :'''v

Sypha: A-and… well, what do you say? Can Alucard come with us? Pleeeeease?

Grandpa: >8VVVV

Alucard: 8'''VVVV

Grandpa: … meh, why not? Come here, you little bastard *Gives Syphacard his bless, hugs Alucard* ùnu✨

Alucard: :''''D

Sypha: Yaaaay!!

*Syphacard route: Happy ending*

And about Treffy before Lisa adopted him, shhhh, don't fight me about this, people he could have been the one who helped Greta and her Villagers; maybe not in a romantic way like Gretacard or maybe yes I don't feel particular interest for GreTrevor because they never interacted in the series, if someone can imagine how their dynamic could have been, @ me and I'll read you with my complete attention and then Treffy found Treffy Village with all of them. After his family's death, Trevor could probably see the orphan children like his little siblings.

Heck, I can even see Trevor giving us a better route for Taka&Sumi; he has been alone before so he couldn't feel like Alucad, he couldn't be manipulated and even if Taka&Sumi could try to kill him, Trevor is wise and could stop them before this happen. But personally, I feel Trevor could have had a less problematic situation with them because he is NOT Bi confirmed, so NOT orgy here and a human just like them, maybe Taka&Sumi were traumatized by Cho and her japanese vampires at the point they didn't trust Alucard (because of his Half-vampire nature) Trevor had seen the worst of the world, he could have understood Taka&Sumi's frustrations and talk to them, help them to see "even if there is a lot of shitty people, he had seen some kind people too" and then Trevor adopted them like another siblings and they didn't die *cries*

💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙

Let’s imagine: Alucard and Sypha’s potential

💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙💛💙

Alucard’s Crush on her was very cute ;w; and they had a respectful dynamic too, both of them could have been a very interesting couple ✨

I’ll need to imagine canon divergence though, one where Sypha didn’t say Alucard was “cold” and stuff, it was then that I understood why Sypha preferred Trevor over Alucard…

I still love to imagine their potential together, and considering how Alucard respected her canon romantic choice, he appreciated Sypha’s friendship more than his own desires for her (what a good boy)

Their interactions at the end of S4 showed precisely the same, Sypha’s importance for him didn’t change even if she was with another man.

Imagine scenarios where Lisa didn’t die coughOrMaybePostS4cough give me feels regarding the 2 blonde women interacting and talking about their Immortal, gentle husbands.

OMG, just imagine Father-in-law!Dracula AFTER what happened in S2, wonder how those family dinners could be 😂🤣

Treffy became Syphacard’s family because Mommy Lisa adopted him, and what Lisa says, it’s law for Dracula lmao so, Uncle Treffy for Syphacard’s babies ✨✨✨

Trevor was tired as hell. When he got inside his apartment, he could hear giggling coming from the living room. Peeking down the hall, he saw the room was dark save for the telltale glow of a tv screen. As Trevor got closer, he could recognize one of the voices.

Great, Trevor thought sarcastically. I love it when Greta comes over. The brunet partially meant it; Greta had a good sense of humor, could take sass as good as she gave it, and made Alucard disgustingly happy.

She also made him disgustingly horny.

Ever since the two became an official couple, Trevor, and Sypha whenever she stayed over, has had to take extra precaution when he knew the happy couple were alone for an extended amount of time. Several times, Trevor and Sypha have caught the pair in acts of indecency and each has seen far more of the couple than they were ever expecting to. It was like they were physically incapable of keeping their hands off one another.

Out of curiosity, Trevor cast a brief glance into the living room as he ascended the stairs. The sight was nothing new but that did nothing to stop his excitement.

The living room was in a bit of disarray; a few cups and plates strewn about, a half finished bottle of merlot and…playing cards? Whatever the two were up to earlier that evening must have been intense. The happy couple in question were cuddled into each other on the couch.

Alucard was pressed atop Greta, delighting in her wriggling. From his position he could really only see the tops of their heads, but Trevor could infer from Greta’s mewls and squirming that the dhampir’s hands were pressed against the brunette’s chest, squeezing and pulling delight from them. And if that wasn’t the source of her ecstasy, then Alucard’s face buried in her taut neck was the next likely culprit. Once Alucard rose from his meal and revealed Greta’s flimsy shirt had ridden up, exposing her bare breasts and darkened nipples, Trevor thought it best to head up the stairs quicker.

He opted for a quick shower before going to bed. He was five minutes in before his peace was broken by a half-loud mewl. They have to know that someone came home…, Trevor thought. At this point, Trevor knew better than to think of either Greta or Alucard as shy, but seeing how private they were about their relationship in public, Trevor was hoping at least a modicum of that reservedness would apply to how they acted at home, yet…

"Mmmm, was I that good, iepure?" Alucard taunted.

“Oh like I would ever tell you that you pom-Oh! Fuck!” Trevor doesn’t know what exactly the blond did, but it had Greta keening like a puppy dog.

“You really should be more considerate of your volume, love.” Alucard tsked. “You know with Sypha out of town, poor Treffy just hasn’t known relief.”

So they HAD heard me come in. They just couldn’t give less of a fuck! Trevor should’ve been angry. He should’ve marched downstairs right now, dick out, and asked them how they liked it when roommates just let their privates hang out!

Trevor can imagine it; Alucard giving that exasperated look, lush lashes lidded over gold. They’d flutter a bit, cast downwards for a moment before he turned his attention back to his lover. That cocky bastard would even put on a show now that he knew he had an attentive audience. He’d rub his stupid face into the brunette’s soft titty, nuzzling against it like some big cat. He’d nibble on its side before taking a nub into his hot mouth. He would suckle at one teat while his hand rose up to play with the other. All the while, pressed flat against the woman, making sure she can’t escape the pleasure he’s giving her.

And Greta-fuck. Trevor realized he had been softly stroking himself, stiffening cock in hand with hot water beating down on it. Dammit, that blond bastard was right; it was rough without Sypha here. A handy is fine every once in a while, but nothing would compare to the redhead’s hands, her tits, her sweet mouth…fuck.

But he wasn’t thinking about Sypha, was he?

No, it was Greta’s plush lips he was imagining. Dark and glistening, Trevor imagines her soft, pink tongue poking out. He'd seen her make that face once, when he walked in on Alucard hitting it from behind, and dammit if it wasn’t a good one. She would rock into Alucard’s mouth, trying to get him to swallow her whole and leave her a mess afterwards. Leave her dripping and wanting more like the insatiable wildcat he knew she was.

Like how he and Sypha had caught them another time, Greta bouncing atop Alucard, both of them sweating and panting, cum dripping from Greta’s plump and bouncing breasts, having dripped and drooling from her gaping mouth. Her gorgeous dark eyes rolled into her head as she exploded on Alucard’s cock. Trevor remembers the look in Sypha’s bright eyes as she devoured the scene before her; their insanely hot friends going at it like animals. And he remembers how she deftly maneuvered in front of him, and how she began to rub her ass against the front of his jeans, sliding her shirt up and playing with her pink nipples as she enjoyed the show…

That final image, that memory he could all but hear sent Trevor over the edge. Teeth clenched, he shot off rope after rope of cum, blasting the tile in front of him. By the time he came down, the water had run cold and he couldn’t hear the couple anymore. Finally able to focus on getting clean, Trevor washed up and readied for bed.

But apparently a quiet night was too much to hope for.

It was about 2am when Trevor was woken from a dreamless sleep by a ragged moan. Fed up, he marched downstairs. With all the melodrama of the dhampir himself, Trevor flipped the light on, naked as the day he was born.

“Oi!”

At least they had the decency to look a bit ashamed, but not much. They were in more or less the same position as before; Greta laid out beneath Alucard. Upon closer inspection, Trevor saw Greta’s hardened nipples, shiny and peaked from the dhampir’s affections. And Alucard’s neck was alighted with hickeys and smudges of lipstick. Even the blood red choker he wore was adorned with a kiss. The top of Greta’s silky dress had been pulled down to release her breasts, but it hadn’t been ridden up. And from Trevor’s angle, he could see Alucard’s stiffened member straining against his leather pants, pressed against the inside of Greta’s assuredly soft thigh.

Trevor’s cock hardens and bounces at the sight, at being so close to the writhing couple. Sparing Trevor one more glance, Alucard presses one last kiss to Greta’s tit before hiking up her dress up to her waist. Long pale fingers squeeze and paw at rich, brown flesh. The way the thigh meat squishes between his regal fingers makes Trevor gulp. The dhampir slides down the length of the couch until he’s face to face with his lover’s fragrant pussy.

Trevor watches as Alucard takes a deep inhale of her soaked blue panties before he pulls them to the side, catching a slimy string of her juices with it. Alucard’s pink tongue darts out to catch it and then he takes his time teasing his lover. His tongue runs alongside her lips, getting lost in the curls that surround her dark pink wetness. She grips his hair fiercely as she breathily calls his name as he plunges his tongue inside. Smirking, he brings his hands up to play with her wet lips and clit, working to make the brunette release into his mouth. Greta’s breasts press together as she reaches down for the dhampir’s mane. Her gentle rocking into pleasure has her tits bouncing softly, swaying and her nipples looking ripe enough to pluck.

And that damned Alucard must be a mind reader because soon enough one of his large hands reaches up, and still slick with her essence and gives one nipple a firm flick. A raunchy yell comes out of Greta’s mouth, and soon, again and again, Alucard multitasks as he tucks into his meal. Trevor has long since abandoned modesty or any of his faux-anger, in favor of slowly but firmly pulling at his cock. The perfect shape of Greta’s mouth echoed that of Sypha’s; how they both manage to have such soft looking lips, how pillowy they felt against his cock, and how sweetly they would suck the cum from his spent cock. Out of all the endeavors Trevor has caught the couple in, he’s never seen Greta give head. A perverse part of himself that had apparently been dormant wondered if he would see such a show tonight.

A short while later Greta was cumming against her lover’s face, rubbing her pussy all over the blond’s nose and mouth. Alucard rose slowly, licking his chops as he undid his belt buckle.

He was a sight, as Greta’s juices smudged his eyeliner and a drip of cum hung from his chin. Greta looked ruined in the best way, a lazy grin on her face as she dropped a hand to the blond’s abdomen, caressing it as he bucked into her soft, brown hand. Once his cock was freed, he stroked it slowly before lining it up to his lover’s sweetness.

“I believe you’re finally ready for me, my love.”

Greta scoffs and rolls her dark eyes, “I’ve been ready for you for hours, brat.”

With a cocked eyebrow, Alucard swiftly smacks one of her soft globes. Trevor couldn’t help his gasp, pulling a bit harder now at the show of strength.

“Disobeying the rules now, are we?” The dhampir leaned down, his golden locks tossed over his shoulder giving Trevor the perfect view of the languid licks he gave to the tit he just slapped. Rolling his tongue around the marbled nub, Alucard went in for a deep suckle only after coating Greta’s entire left breast in his affectionate slime. With a wet pop, Alucard leaned back chuckling cruelly at the flustered woman beneath him.

“Behave yourself, and I might just reward you, love.” In each hand, Alucard grips a warm thigh and spreads Greta’s legs, one propped upright against his shoulder and the other kicked out over the couch. Trevor thought Greta would’ve drawn blood from her lower lip the way she was keening as Alucard rubs his cock along her drenched folds.

When Alucard finally slides in, he lets out a deeply pleased sigh, dropping his jaw, exposing his long fangs. Greta bucks beneath him in an attempt to slide more of him inside. All Alucard does is let out a soft chuckle and raise a pale hand to Greta’s nipple to give it a cruel pinch, which only had her bucking more.

“I’m going to have my way with you however I please iepure, or did you forget?”

The teasing continued at a horrendously slow pace. Trevor watched as the dhampir egged on his lover in cruel ways; shallow thrusts that could not possibly reach the spot she needed, full sheathing himself inside of her only to stay rock solid and holding onto her hips so she couldn’t get her pleasure herself, sliding out enough to leave only the tip of his cock inside her while he plays with her clit, taking his cock out to playfully smack at her dripping opening.

Trevor wasn't privy to the couple’s intimate dynamic, but he didn’t think Alucard had such a mean streak in him. Come to think of it, it was out of character for Greta to be so docile and submissive as well. Suddenly Alucard’s smug grin, bared teeth, cocky attitude, and appreciative lustful gazes made sense when he thought of Greta’s furrowed brows, clenched fists, and huffs of frustration.

They’re playing a game or, by judging the state of the living room, were playing a game. And Greta must’ve lost and is now suffering the consequences.

“Have you been enjoying yourself, Belmont?”

Trevor broke out of his haze when Alucard purred his name. He stopped stroking his cock and finally met his roommate’s eyes.

“I would be enjoying myself more if you two would keep it in your pants for five measly minutes.”

“Why bother keeping anything in our pants, when my roommate is so insistent on discussing matters in the nude?”

“I wouldn’t have barged down here if I was asleep! But you two sex kittens make getting a good night’s rest fuckin’ impossible.”

Alucard had the audacity to pucker his soft, full lips and cluck at Trevor. Cock still half-inside the brunette, Alucard clucked admonishingly, “I told you that you were too loud, love. Now how will Trevor ever get his beauty sleep?”

This is usually the part where Greta replies with an equally sharp quip, if not sharper, which then descends somehow into her teasing Alucard and turning him bright pink. All Greta can do now is moan and shake as Alucard has his infuriatingly slow way with her.

“Hmm?” He leans down at Greta’s moan, holding a hand to his ear, mimicking as if he’s having trouble hearing her. “Belmont wouldn’t be this uptight if he had Sypha to toss him around? Hmm, yes, I’m inclined to agree.”

With a cruel twist of his lips, Alucard fully slides into Greta again, holding her in place as she shakes and moans. With a warm kiss to her throat, he coos, “Brilliant commentary as always, iepure.”

“Oh fuck off.” At Trevor’s indignation, all Alucard does is look up from Greta’s neck. He finally casts his gaze down to Trevor’s cock, leaking and red and aching for release.

“I suppose,” with a wet lick and pop of his lips, “I suppose I could use something to shut me up.” He drops his gorgeous jaw and lets his pink tongue droop out, a catch of drool hitting the curve of Greta’s breast.

The blond bastard let out the most self-satisfactory chuckle when Trevor all but rammed his cock inside the warm hole. Trevor couldn’t help but moan as his cock finally knew the moist heat it had been craving ever since Sypha went on vacation. Trevor isn’t too proud to say that he’s fantasized while she’s been away, but fantasies don’t hold a candle to the real thing. And while Alucard’s no Sypha, his hot mouth is pretty damn close to the heat of her pussy. So with a tight grip on soft, golden hair, Trevor rams into Alucard the way he wishes he could take Sypha.

The living room is a haze of lewd smells and sounds. Once Trevor started giving Alucard what for, the dhampir put a little more oomph into how he took Greta. His hips going from shallow or idle thrusting now became languid pulls, with Greta’s lips suctioned around his shaft and unwilling to let go now that she’s finally known pleasure tonight. From the sounds of it however, it’s still not what she wants.

As much as he hates complimenting the arrogant bastard, he took Trevor’s face fucking with a surprising if a little disappointing amount of grace. His golden eyes stayed half lidded through the onslaught, even when strings of the lewd juices flung up into his lashes. And if Greta’s whines were anything to go by, the blond didn’t let up his torment of the dark-skinned woman either. Trevor casts a glance her way to see Greta puncturing her lower lip, her honeyed brown eyes locked onto where Trevor and Alucard met.

It was too much. With a tug of his pretty golden hair and a roar, Trevor unloaded his seed. Some stayed in the dhampir’s mouth, but most of it was unloaded onto his chin and pretty collarbones. Like the slut he apparently was, Alucard took a painted finger and dragged Trevor’s cum up to his mouth. Just as the blond was about to say something undoubtedly insufferable, a voice spoke out.

“Please.”

That smug ass grin came back, fangs and all when Greta uttered her desperate plea. “What was that, iepure?”

“P..Please fuck me, Alucard.” With an absolutely wicked grin, Alucard hunched over his lover. With a gentle swipe across her bottom lip, Alucard lets out a coquettish sigh before he buries his head into the curtain of her hair, his grip tightens, and he slams into her.

In a flash, the blond was moving at an incredible speed. His actions weren’t even half as precise as earlier that evening, as if drunk on her. Trevor stood awkwardly by, a hand going to play with his now limp cock, a surge of pleasure washing over him again as the lewd plaps of the dhampir slamming into Greta’s cunt and the woman raunchy moans and screams filled the room; their scents mixing together to create a heady odor. Moments later, the blond lifted his head from her shoulder, shifting from an intense mating press to a passionate embrace. In her ear, he whispered, “Do you want a taste of Belmont, iepure?”

Before he could blink, he witnessed the blond exposing his tongue for Greta to suckle enthusiastically. She then dipped her tongue down to lick some of the seed of her lover’s collarbone before kissing their tongues together again.

Trevor lost it. There were too many fantasies coming to a head / flashing at once; his seed spilled on the dhampir, being buried deep enough inside his throat to watch his ornate choker bulge, the memory of Sypha’s bright blue eyes rolled back as Trevor mounted her, slamming into her relentlessly, the image of Greta’s soft brown lips puckered around his cock, her regal cheeks darkened as he’d thrust harder and deeper and faster and into her heat.

Bucking underneath his blanket, Trevor’s thighs quaked as his hot cum shot from his cock. Pressed against his downy comforters, Trevor felt his cum splatter against his thighs and cock, until finally the euphoria subsided and it began to dribble down his asscrack.

Closing his eyes in shame, he tried to focus on coming down instead of the fact that he hadn’t cum while asleep since puberty. That and the fact that the annoyingly horny couple are far more enticing than any pair should be.

On the bright side, things were finally quiet downstairs, but that was of little help when their shenanigans had already infiltrated his dreams. Lifting the blanket to survey the damage, Trevor resolved to have a chat with Alucard the next day about his and Greta’s little games.

Who's the protagonist of NFCV and who's the main villain?

No seriously think about it

Because Isaac, as favored as he is, only becomes a big player in S3, and his story ends halfway through S4, with him not really participating in the ending

At the same time Death also only came into the field in S3 and he was also pretty forced

Well... in theory the protagonist should be Trevor Belmont, and Sypha and Alucard should be the deuteragonists.

But this is a huge issue with the show: while S1 and S2 tell a coherent story, flawed but nevertheless with a clear beginning, progression and end, S3 and S4 completely lose focus.

What is the plot of the show, in its entirety? You can't say that it's about the gang stopping Dracula, because that only covers until S2. What does that make S3 and S4? They're almost like the epilogue, since a lot of the mini-plotlines are related to Dracula's death: Trepha have to deal with Dracula cultists + Death attempting to bring the man back, Alucard has to deal with his grief and loneliness, Isaac has to deal with being left alone to fend for himself in the human world, and the Styria vampires want to take advantage of the unrest left by Dracula to strike (and yes, they are the protagonists of that storyline, because as I've said multiple times Hector has stopped being a character with his own objective and growth). But... the epilogue is longer than the main story, at this point.

Fine, then. Let's treat S3 and S4 as their own thing. What are those seasons about? What is the macroplot told through all those little subplots? How do you summarize it without having to split it? I can't. I can find something resembling an unifying theme, which is the consequences of Dracula's death, but this is not a story, it's an anthology, each with their own arc villain. And that's not even mentioning the sheer disparity in screentime, quality, and relevance to the plot: Isaac is the most active agent in the ensemble of S3, and he's given all the love and development usually reserved to a protagonist, but by S4 his only role is pushing Carmilla into suicide and he's then unceremoniously dropped out of the story once he has served that purpose. On the opposite side of the coin, Trepha do literally nothing worth talking about, their screentime is completely wasted because the agent that matters is St. Germain, but Trevor is at the very last minute kicked back into the role of the protagonist for the sake of the final boss, a final boss that doesn't even have thematic relevance in the story, because there is no story in the first place! Death is the final antagonist because he's cool, but he might as well be replaced by Sala since they want the same thing anyway!

It's also worth pointing out how this microsplitting kills the pacing like nothing else, because if S2 had 8 episodes to tell 2 plotlines, the Hero and the Dark stories if you will (and the Hero story was a complete waste of time to boot), S3 has 10 episodes to tell 5 plotlines - Trepha, Alucard, Isaac, Styria, and St. Germain who is doing his own thing separately from Trepha! And somehow it still feels like nothing happened! And do I need to remind you how rushed S4 is, how eager it is to drop plot points?

And all of this is not even mentioning how most of the plotlines don't even intersect. As pointed out by many people, Trephacard don't even know about the existence of Hector, Isaac and the Styria vampires. Those are completely parallel plotlines. One effect of this is, of course, that it's hard to take Carmilla seriously as a menace, when the alleged protagonists don't even know that there was an mad vampire woman on the loose who planned to conquer the world. Another is that, well, it contributes to the lack of a macroplot. Hector and Isaac did their own thing, and their stories converged into the climax of the Styria story, but the Styria story has absolutely no impact on the other characters - and yet the Styria story is by far the most fleshed out and interesting, because the protagonists, the trio always promoted as being the center stage of the show, did absolutely nothing of value except killing Dracula: their stories were over by S2, but they still ate screentime.

NFCV has no real story. It has one short story that is a vague adaptation of Dracula's Curse that is concluded midway through, and then a lot of meandering. I suppose one could say that its strong suit is its character development, but... well. You can imagine I have a lot to say about that :P

[shadechu]

OMG, i just had "SENPAI NOTICED ME" vibes when you replied ✨💦✨💦✨💦

But HECK YEAH!! Grant was mentioned or referenced MORE THAN ONCE by people related to the show 🙏🙏

Adi Shenkar mentioned him here, in an official interview:

And then we had 2 mentions of a guy who called himself "The Pirate of the Roads" in the same episode (if i'm not wrong)

Even if it was only a joke, they confirmed later than this "Pirate of the Roads" WAS A NOD TO GRANT, OUR GRANT ;;;;;;;❤️

And do you know what is the most painful thing about it?

TREVOR (and Sypha uwu✨) MET HIM!!!! Sadly, they weren't partners like in the main-plot from CVIII, BUT GRANT WAS THERE like it was said, even if we didn't see him 😭😭😭

Now, why the heck we didn't have Grant like an actual/main character or at least like a support character??? Two words: WARREN ELLIS >:'€

He apparently felt a hate toward Grant's character or something like that; he said "the idea of a Pirate in a country like Wallachia was stupid" AND he dare to say Grant Danasty's name sounded ridiculous 😤😤😤

Adi was very happy when someone asked him about Grant in that interview, so maybe he didn't agree with Warren's POV about excluding Grant from the show 😢 we will never know, even Warren Ellis denied The Captain™ (character who talked to Isaac in s3) could be related to Grant in any way… basically our precious Pirate had a hater 😬😂

BUT WHATEVER, that's the entire explanation regarding Grant not appearing in the show unu

Yes, I know Grant wasn’t in the show…

… but I’m thinking of having him cameo in my stories if I ever get to writing something taking place during the events of the show.

I like him. I dunno why. 

Okay, I do know why, I have a bias towards Trevor and his interpersonal relationships, and purifying a guy who was forced to serve a vampire overlord is a very Jojo thing to do, sooooo.

A Good Man (A Fluffy Castlevania Trepha Fic)

Author’s Note:  The Season 4 promo poster and trailer finally gave me the inspiration I needed to finish this fic. I can't wait for more soft Trepha content in Season 4, let's goooooooo

*

The evening was well underway and the Belmont mansion had a fire crackling in the fireplace. Trevor was seated on the couch, staring into the dancing flames. He looked away at the sound of familiar footsteps and watched as Sypha entered the room with a very drowsy baby snuggled against her chest. Trevor smiled softly at the pair.

“How’s our girl doing?” Trevor asked, a tinge of fatherly pride in his voice.

“Sonia is a very happy baby,” Sypha said with a smile as she sat next to her husband “She’s been fed, burped, and changed. In other words, she’s at her best right now.”

The baby sleepily looked around her and spotted her father.  Her lips began to curl upward and she reached a hand in Trevor’s direction. Trevor was only too happy to take his daughter and place her so that she was laying comfortably on his chest.

“A full stomach and a good shit are enough to make me happy as well,” Trevor replied as he held his daughter close. “Good job, Sunny.”

Sypha rolled her eyes but nestled into her husband’s side. She admired the baby who was starting to fall asleep on Trevor’s chest. Sypha took one finger and gently stroked her daughter’s cheek.

“She really takes after you, you know,” Sypha began. “She has your hair and your nose. She has your smile too.”

Trevor hummed. “You know that’s the first thing Alucard’ll comment on when he meets her. ‘How unfortunate that such a young child should be cursed with your looks, Belmont.’” Trevor ended with his best impression of the dhampir.

Sypha giggled in response. “Of course he’ll make a few smart remarks. I wouldn’t expect anything less from Alucard. But he’s Sonia’s honorary uncle. He’s going to fall in love with her.”

Trevor looked into Sonia’s eyes, which were blinking slowly. “Perhaps. But he’ll also say that Sonia’s only redeeming physical trait is her mother’s eyes. And honestly, that’s something I can agree with.”

Trevor and Sypha sat in companionable silence staring at their baby, completely entranced by this little human they had made together. Sonia shifted so she could nuzzle further into Trevor’s chest as sleep grew closer to claiming her. Trevor felt his heart swell.

“It’s amazing. I think she actually loves me.” Trevor said, sounding slightly surprised. Sypha raised an eyebrow.

“You’re her papa, of course she loves you!” Sypha responded incredulously, surprised at Trevor’s surprise. “Did you really doubt that our daughter loved you?”

Trevor took a deep breath and sighed. He had been reflecting on his life frequently over the past few months, and he finally decided to share his thoughts with Sypha.

“I mean, before I met you, I was an asshole.” Trevor explained. Sypha snickered.

“Oh believe me, I was well aware of that,” she replied with a smirk. “When we first met, I tried to tell you my name and you said ‘I don’t care’ before I finished. But what does that have to do with now?”

Trevor took a few seconds to think about how he was going to word his thoughts.

“After my family was killed and I was on my own, I honestly never expected to have a child or start my own family. I was convinced the Belmont line would die with me. I drifted from bar to bar without a purpose in life, starting fights and getting drunk every chance I got. Didn’t care about anything or anybody, especially not myself. I wasted years of my life doing that shit. I wasted years of my life being a shitty person. I never expected to be here, married with a kid, living in the rebuilt mansion of my ancestors. I sometimes wonder if I deserve any of this. I wonder how anybody could love me after how horrible I was.”

Sypha listened carefully (as Speakers tend to do.) She sat up and gently placed her hands on Trevor’s face.

“Trevor,” Sypha started. “We’ve known each other for several years now. We’ve travelled across the country together and now we have a child. I would like to think we know each other pretty well. Do you honestly think I would have stayed with you for all of that time if you were as horrible as you’re making yourself out to be?”

Trevor hummed in thought and glanced down, unsure how to respond. Sypha looked down at the baby on Trevor’s chest and smiled again.

“You know, when Sonia was still in my belly, Alucard let me read some of his mother’s research on child development,” Sypha started. “When Dr. Tepes was still alive, she cared for quite a few pregnant women. After their babies were born, she would care for both mother and child, making sure they were safe and healthy. But there was one thing she wrote about that really stood out to me, and it wasn’t even related to medical care. Do you know what she discovered?”

Sypha had Trevor’s attention. “What’s that?”

“Dr. Tepes discovered that babies were very sensitive to the emotions of others. They can sense when someone’s happy, sad, or nervous very easily. And this sensitivity makes babies very good judges of character. They know the difference between a good person and a bad person. Look at our daughter, Trevor.”

Trevor obeyed and he looked at baby Sonia, who was laying comfortably on her father’s chest fast asleep. She looked like the safest baby in the world.

“If what Dr. Tepes wrote is true, if babies can really tell the difference between good and bad, do you think our Sonia would be so comfortable right now?” Sypha asked. “Your past doesn’t define you, Trevor. Your past doesn’t define the kind of person you are. You were in so much pain when I met you. You were sad all the time. And you wanted that sadness to go away. When people are so desperate to get rid of that pain, they do bad things. But that doesn’t mean they are bad people. You have always been a good man, Trevor Belmont. You’re a good man who has been through horrible things. Now you have a daughter who adores you and feels safe with you. And you also have me. Never doubt that you’re deserving of happiness because of your past.”

In spite of himself, Trevor felt a few tears prickle in his eyes when Sypha finished speaking. He took his free hand to wipe them away.

“Shit, Sypha, you’re gonna make me cry if you keep talking like that,” Trevor sniffed. “You’ve always had such a way with words.”

“Well that tends to happen when you’re raised as a Speaker,” Sypha replied with a yawn as she nuzzled back into Trevor’s side. “I’m sleepy now. And like Sonia, I also feel safe when I snuggle against you. So you’re going to be my pillow tonight, ok?”

Trevor chuckled and wrapped his free arm around Sypha, bringing him closer to her. “Anything you want, Sypha. Thank you for… everything. Thank you for what you said. I don’t say this enough, but I’m thankful that we found each other when we did. I love you.”

“Mmm, love you too.” Sypha mumbled as she made herself comfortable on Trevor and fell asleep.

Trevor sat still and smiled. His wife and daughter, the two most important people in his life, were cuddled against him. Years ago, he never would have imagined himself in a place like this, sitting by the fireplace with his loving family around him. But maybe Sypha was right; maybe he was deserving of happiness. Maybe he was a good man. Trevor thought that it would still take time to fully convince himself of this, but for tonight, he decided to take Sypha’s words to heart. And those positive thoughts and the overall serenity of the night eventually lulled him to sleep as well.

*

End Notes:  In my opinion, Netflix Castlevania portrays mental health realistically. The way Trevor's trauma and depression are depicted is amazing. I love exploring Trevor as a character. When we first meet him he comes across as a total asshole, but he had such severe PTSD and depression that him being an asshole was just an act in order to protect himself. I can't wait to see if there are any other developments in his character in this final season. Hope you enjoyed :)

[dangerousbride]

H-hey, my Trepha Queen, I was thinking… could you be interested in drawing any Trepha+Gretacard (individual ships) content in the future? I've noticed how both couples are usually criticized by a certain part of Castlevania fandom; even if one of those showed us a proper/HEALTHY canon development, and the other one was only a friendship (with potential implications for the future) without forcing a sudden romance. And still the fandom hated both ships only because "tHey wErE hEtErO sHiPs" 👉👈💦

I have a feeling you'll like today's comic
