In terms of getting really obscure facts about my Special Interests(tm) I am a master.
So here’s a whole bunch of obscure Resident Evil facts for y’all!
Part two: here!
Part three: here!
Lemme know if any of these surprised you or if you knew any of these!
☠️ Leon is scared of lightning (Astraphobia) but not thunder. (RE6)
☠️ Chris has a fear of late night phone calls because that’s how he learned of his parents death.
☠️ Piers is very heavily implied to be Bisexual due to a file in Revelations 2 (his concept art also implies this, if you know you know)
☠️ The Hound Wolf Squad is the only squad Chris has had that have all survived the entire game.
☠️ Wesker and Birkin were childhood friends
☠️ The Cerberus are all clones of each other which is why they’re all Doberman
☠️ Leon is a terrible driver, crashing one of just about every vehicle type including cars, a boat, a motorbike, a plane and a helicopter.
☠️ Sheva is one of the only left handed characters
☠️ Wesker wore glasses to hide his emotions (and later his red eyes)
☠️ Chris can play Bass guitar
☠️ Ada Wong isn’t her real name
☠️ Vector is Japanese
☠️ Vector is the only character that can canonically turn invisible (Hunk can too but only in various mercenary modes)
☠️ Hunk is said to respond emotionally to the name ‘Bella’
☠️ The USS soldier who shot Birkin and started the outbreak had the callsign ‘Ghost’
☠️ Nighthawk has two call signs, the other being ‘Lone Wolf’
☠️ Barry Burton and Wesker are the same age however Wesker appeared to stop aging at 38 years old after infection.
☠️ Jake Muller was conceived before Wesker was infected with the Progenitor Virus making his immunity to the C Virus a plot hole.
☠️ Lobo is the only member of the Hound Wolf Squad that had worked with Chris prior to Village. See Heavenly Island
☠️ Piers was introduced in the comic The Marhawa Desire set before RE6
☠️ Chris and Jill both know 7 fighting styles. Leon knows 6
☠️ Lady Dimitrescu is highly implied to be Lesbian
☠️ Heisenberg was the one who told Chris and the Hound Wolf Squad about Miranda (though planned to betray them from the beginning)
☠️ Ethan’s immortality was gained back in RE7 at the dinner table scene with the Bakers as they resurrected him after Jack killed him.
☠️ Piers and Claire kept in contact via email and later phone calls up until his death in China. It is implied he told her nothing about Chris’s amnesia at the time.
☠️ Jill Valentine learned to lock pick from her father who was a French thief
☠️ Leon once considered suicide after the events of RE2 but stayed alive because Sherry needed him
☠️ Leon’s parents were both criminals who died when he was a child. He was inspired to become a cop after the one who rescued him.
☠️ Hunk had an intense rivalry with Nicholai which is why he interfered so much with Vector and Wolfpack.
☠️ Birkin prided himself on being the youngest Umbrella researcher at only 16 until a 10 year old Alexia Ashford came along.
☠️ Wesker made his own blueprints for anti BOW weaponry which later inspired the creations of Thor’s Hammer and modifications based on his original Samurai Edge called the AW Model
☠️Jake Muller is an incredibly gifted pianist
☠️ Chris Redfield was a notorious prankster during his days at STARS
☠️ When Chris went missing after Edonia one of the people Piers contacted was Sheva.
☠️ Leon and Wesker never meet nor interact directly
☠️ Hunk has also never interacted with any of the main characters including Wesker
☠️ During RE2 Wesker/Ada and Hunk were working against each other to obtain the G Virus unknowingly
☠️ Some, if not all of Wolfpack survive the Raccoon City outbreak after sparing Leon, Claire and Sherry and betraying Umbrella.
☠️The BSAA were actively working against Chris and the HWS in Village, implying to even have the green light to kill them.
☠️ Zoe Baker after RE7 is implied to have become an informant for Chris Redfield and a journalist
☠️ Hunk agreed to personally train Vector after they fought to a draw. Vector is also the only character to ever escape from Hunk’s neck snapping headlock.
☠️ The USS were Umbrella’s personal army whilst the UBCS were just hired mercenaries and in the end considered a liability
☠️ Simmons from RE6 was one of the ones responsible for passing the vote to blow up Raccoon City
☠️ About 10% of humans have immunity to the T-Virus and Umbrella never figured out how
☠️ Chief Irons was straight up a serial killer able to cover his tracks thanks to Umbrella’s involvement while also being paid to stay quiet about their experiments
☠️ Hunk developed his own fighting style called Close Quarters Quarantined Battle Zone after Umbrella’s downfall in 2003 in which he became a legendary mercenary.
☠️ Thanks to Shadows of Rose, Chris is implied to still be working well into his 60’s as well as the Hound Wolf Squad.
☠️ ‘K’ from Shadows of Rose is heavily implied to be an older Canine from the HWS
☠️ The new Death Island CGI movie is not only the first time we’ll see Jill in the timeline since 2009 but also the first time we’ll see Leon and Jill onscreen together

Random, but I was wondering if you've got any Resident Evil lesbian headcanons?
Bonus points for butch and femme headcanons as well :D :D
Thank you! :D
As for me, I headcanon Sheva to be a femme lesbian.
Soo true about sheva 💖
Zoe baker and emily (tundra from hound wolf squad) are butch4butch lesbians of course.
I want jill to be a butch lesbian so bad. In my mind she is.
Sherry is also a lesbian but i dont see her as butch or femme. I think shes tomboyish but would be willing to wear a dress on occasion.
Moira is a baby butch. Shes growing into her butchness. Claire is her ring of keys moment.
Helena harper is also a lesbian. So is ashley graham. And rebecca.
lady d is a femme lesbian. Im not super interested in her at all but its obvious. Bela and donna also.

The Last Lavender Sister
When your parents name you and your three siblings after flowers, the world is stacked against you. At least, that’s how Aster Lavender feels. The youngest daughter, Aster always keeps her head down and lets her siblings stand in the spotlight. She sells her gourmet doughnuts from Hole in One, the small drive-through stand in sleepy Homer’s Bluff, Kansas, and daydreams about seeing the big beautiful world. Love is never going to happen, especially when the only other lesbians in town are already married to each other.
Beautiful Brynn Garrett arrives to fill in for Homer Bluff’s only veterinarian, and suddenly every pet in town is sick. Brynn’s older, smarter, and way out of Aster’s league. Plus, she’s only in town temporarily and definitely running from something. Aster didn’t plan for a connection so strong it knocks the wind right out of her, but Brynn makes her feel like anything but a wallflower.
Closed-Door Policy
Can falling in love melt the hearts of the iciest ice queens?
Going back to college is never easy, but Caroline Stevens is prepared to work hard and change her life for the better. What she’s not prepared for is Dr. Atlanta Morris, her new professor whose tough demeanor is no match for Caroline’s burgeoning confidence.

Comments on Stranger Things Season 4: part 1
-I like the new monster but he seemed so off everything we saw in those past seasons that I spent half of the time trying to figure out what's going on. Like it was good but it feels almost totally different from The Demogorgon, Upsidedown,DemonDogs, Mind killer... everything we saw before.
I had the same feeling when I first saw Resident Evil 7
But let me say that Vecta is a asshole, like, why kill people who are already struggling with shit in their lives? Thats just extra evil bro
- I hate how everyone was okay with Angela humiliating and harassing Eleven but the second Eleven fought back stand up for herself everyone was "look at that crazy violent monster"
And c'mon Mike, you should have deal with it better
Oh and at the same time I understand why Chad and the others felt threatened by Eleven's power but c'mon, they didn't need to bully her like that.
-I just love how Joyce keep getting into to international security, spy shit. And how cool she is about going to Alaska save Hopper and all that something...you know, is a life threatening situation
-Dustin is so so smart. I also love when he and Erica interact
-*screams in episode 4*
No seriously, it was so heartbreaking and beautiful
- Robin and Nancy friendship was awesome, so caothic. And I love the older fellas fighting having their time in the upside down. A lesbian, a himbo, a journalist and a nerdy guitarist? That's a power squad
-The acting in the series was always good and it keeps better and better each season.
-No much to say about Jonathan,Mike, Argyle and Will. Their scenes kinds sucks for me. Like all the other ones were real interesting and plot advance but their seems to be the "break of the action" one.
-Poor Hooper, at least he have a faceless assassin as a friend. I almost cry when he and Joyce finally reunited
-001 is shitty. I know I had a reason to not trust that guy. I also didn't like how one creepy kid is responsible for all that. They build this massive history through 3 seasons so now they can tell us that the reason of everything is because one creepy guy that loves spider just happen to born with this amazing power? I dunno
-Cant wait for part 2. It was so exciting to watch when the characters start to solve the mystery.
If Nancy, Robin, Steve, Eddie or any of the kids die I swear I will riot

Hey guys 😋 welcome back to our shared multifandom page!! sorry for the long absence, Misty and I have been unmotivated and busy this summer but we want to start up our tumblr again!! Please feel free to give us requests for fandom playlists, headcanons, series, drabbles, etc. We prefer to write x reader stories but we will write for certain ships :)
Requests are open!!!!
Fandoms we write for (not in any particular order):

Stardew Valley
Harry Potter
Attack On Titan
Kakegurui
Men and Chicken
The Good Place (Moss’s comfort show)

If you don’t see your fandom on this list, feel free to ask. We have the right to decline your requests. We will write fluff, angst, and smut(we will refuse any weird kinks) 😀 We want to work on our smut writing though because we don’t want it to be cringey.

Okay folks, I am all caught up with Tokyo Mew Mew Au Lait chapters 1-3 and Tokyo Mew Mew 2020 Re-Turn chapters 1 and 2 so I am Doing A Thing! Buckle up, bitches!
MASSIVE SPOILERS IF YOU’RE WAITING FOR THE OFFICIAL ENGLISH RELEASES (whenever the hell those will be). Thanks to @berrychanx, @hikayagami, and @ribbonstrawberrysurprise for the scans, English translation, and hard work putting the translation onto the manga so neatly.
LEADERS
MOMOMIYA ICHIGO AND SHIBUYA AOI
Honestly this is the biggest difference between the 2020 Re-Turn reboot/original series and the magical boy tribute. Aoi is in no way like Ichigo once you get past that they’ve both been injected with Iriomote cat DNA. Whereas Ichigo is cheery and bubbly and cute, Aoi is withdrawn, suffers from low self confidence, and sort of breaks the fourth wall during nearly every fight, freaking out at how catchphrases and such just seem to burst forth from him after he transforms. (It’s honestly a funny highlight.) Their respective crushes are also treated differently, with Aoi falling hard for Anzu (though of course saying nothing) almost immediately, almost a love at first sight sort of deal, and Ichigo already having this crush on this boy when we start vanilla TMM and already deeply committed to him in the reboot. In civilian form, (using vanilla Ichigo here, it’s not fair to compare Aoi to 2020 “been a magical girl for years” Ichigo), Aoi is a lot more unsure of himself, and seems almost to be in this Mew Mew thing for Anzu, whereas Ichigo immediately had a “I’ll do my best” acceptance mindset from the start. (Both freak out over their cat ears appearing at random moments, even Ichigo in the 2020 reboot, and I think I can finally give poor Aoi a point over Ichigo here. It makes him uncomfortable but he just wears a hoodie and hopes no one notices. It makes Ichigo freak out more lol.)
THE LOVE INTEREST / DUNGEON NAVI / SECONDARY PROTAGONIST
AOYAMA MASAYA, HINATA ANZU, SHIROGANE RYOU
Anzu is a precious peach and she occupies such a weird role here that I almost couldn’t make her a neat little graphic. She doesn’t fit neatly into a “oh, they’re a genderbent so and so” like nearly everyone else, and it’s fascinating. On the one hand, several panels in the first chapter of Au Lait make it clear that the writers are setting her up to be Aoi’s love interest. Every magical girl anime has a love interest, so why wouldn’t a magical boy manga? But that’s where she diverges. Unlike Masaya, who is a very clear tribute to Sailor Moon’s Tuxedo Mask (with the exception that he’s a cute bean as a civilian, he’s nearly the same person. No past, gets kidnapped, magical form to protect the magical girl, evil form to fight the magical girl [this happened in PGSM, and he’s been brainwashed several times]), who has always been a secondary character, Anzu actually starts the Au Lait manga. She wasn’t even featured on the promo images, so when I opened the first chapter in a zip file I thought I’d downloaded the wrong one. My rudimentary Japanese confirmed I hadn’t, but I was like “well who tf is this chick?” I waited for an English translation to be sure and yup - Anzu is being treated almost like a secondary protagonist. Well that’s new. It’s as if the Au Lait writers smashed together the characters of Ryou and Masaya and named their love child Hinata Anzu. She’s intelligent, she knows more about this project than she should, and, like Ryou in vanilla, she’s out and about and helping the boys, not just as a civilian, but in every battle. She doesn’t have powers (that we know of), but her smarts and knowledge of animals have served them well time and again. Au Lait seems more like, as one reader put it, Anzu And The Dork Squad than Aoi’s team.
Masaya in 2020 Re-Turn is adorable. He is at odds with Quiche over Ichigo (or more like, he dislikes just how much Quiche likes Ichigo), and in a moment of panic he uses his leftover remnants of Deep Blue’s power to... change his clothes. I’m not sure what actually happened there. (Note: Thanks ribbonstrawberrysurprise: Deep Blue manifested to float the chimera anima/train and its passengers to safety.) But I love that he was so concerned for Ichigo, who at that moment desperately needed help, that the being who created his body and didn’t like Ichigo wanted to protect her. Ryou was his standoffish self, but even he seemed to have a hint of a lingering crush. He organized a party for the Mews and then took over in cafe duties so Ichigo could meet her man at the airport, unable to quiiiiite meet her eye while saying so. I always did like Ryou/Ichigo.
THE SASSY RICH BITCH
AIZAWA MINTO AND YOYOGI SHIZUKA
First of all: SAILOR JUPITER TAUGHT ME THAT PINK EQUALS FLOWER HURRICANES AND CAN I JUST SAY THAT I AM DISAPPOINTED AS FUCK THAT SHIZUKA ISN’T PLANT BASED AND CAN’T DO FLOWER HURRICANES THAT IS ALL.
Admit it. When we saw the promo image, we assumed certain things. One of those things turned out to be true: Aoi would be the Iriomote cat, because of course he would be Ichigo’s counterpart. Shizuka is wearing glasses, and his costume had the little tail, which meant he must have been a fish or a marine mammal and therefore Retasu’s counterpart, right? RIGHT. But also very, very wrong, my friends. Shizuka is indeed water based like Retasu - he’s an Amazon river dolphin (the pink ones!) - and that’s where all his similarities to our gentle green girl end. Instead of making everyone exactly the same but gender flipped, Au Lait is going in a slightly different direction, and I really like it. Shizuka is actually the most similar to our resident princess Minto! They both attend prestigious elite schools and generally act better than everyone else, but the real gem here is their interactions with their leaders. Shizuka has some truly snappy one-liners - such as discovering Ryuusei (”that’s the power of an idiot”) - and his reactions to Aoi are gold. He considers himself a genius, and indeed he’s very intelligent according to Natsume (and his school seems to be for smart people, it’s not prestigious for music or anything like that), and he makes little quips at Aoi all the time about how Aoi isn’t. I could totally see him spending an entire shift reading a book at Cafe Mew Mew while Aoi does all the work, only for him to stand up and someone to scream “HOLY CRAP, SHIZUKA’S UP, SHIT’S ABOUT TO GO DOWN.”
Minto is also full of snappy quips at Ichigo in the reboot, mostly about how Ichigo should handle the biggest, strongest enemies since she’s the leader, and can’t Ichigo even keep them in place so Minto can shoot them down? (And yeah, someone totally said the above comment ^ when Minto stood up at Cafe Mew Mew.) Minto was always one of my favorite characters, and I love that we saw a lot of close ups of her in the reboot, and that she seemed to be second in command.
THE CHILD
FONG PURIN AND KANDA RYUUSEI
Oh my god these two. I refuse to believe they aren’t related. I know Purin is Chinese but you cannot take this headcanon from me.
Purin is my favorite character in OG Mew Mew and Ryuusei claimed my heart the second I saw the Au Lait promo. NEITHER OF THEM DISAPPOINTED ME, I AM SO IN LOVE.
While I WILL say that I in no way care for Mew Pudding’s redesign (I hate literally everything about it. I miss her jumpsuit. I hate the little pigtails at the top of her head. I hate the ribbon. At least she still has her fingerless gloves), I love that she got an entire panel of just her being badass. She stood in the middle of some train tracks, facing a runaway speeding train chimera anima, with that ^ fucking look on her face, and was like “where you going, na no da?” Purin from like, ten years ago wouldn’t have done that. She has matured so much, but she’s still the young, goofy little acrobat monkey who provides for her tea-themed siblings (who criminally do not make an appearance) and I just love her so fucking much, you guys.
RYUUSEI. Guys. He’s an idiot. Oh my god. He’s a cute lovable idiot. “What’s a gomodo dragon? What’s a kodomo dragon? What’s a condo dragon and why does it need a house?” Anzu was in love with him for like five seconds until she learned he’s a dumbass, and Aoi was jealous as fuck, and no one ever told him what his damn animal was, and I laughed my ass off through his entire last couple pages. He also had his jacket hand embroidered with the kanji for dragon, BUT IT’S MISSPELLED. It’s missing a stroke! XD
Ryuusei is the KOMODO dragon (which is Anzu’s favorite animal), and komodos are badass. He also either always had weird animal powers, or just never noticed that he suddenly got super smell. Komodo dragons, by the way, can track their prey for literally MILES by smell alone, for DAYS. It’s absolutely terrifying (thank you for the nightmares, Wild Thornberries), and Au Lait made it fucking comical. I can’t even. HE CAN SMELL THE RED DATA ANIMAL ON PEOPLE. I love it. He’s super strong and super cute, apparently lives with his grandparents, and is Purin’s counterpart in every single way, except I think SHE might be more mature than him. I love him. He is my baby.
Yellow is my favorite color and yellow never disappoints.
THE FAMOUS
FUJIWARA ZAKURO AND ROPPONGI AYATO
Zakuro had next to no presence in the reboot. She occasionally made some panels look pretty. She twice had a half page to herself, one per chapter. I am sad. I love my wolf lesbian. In semi-related news, I feel I have solved the mystery of Zakuro’s red data animal, something that has plagued the TMM community for years. The grey wolf is not endangered at all, yet Zakuro is injected with one, right? I read somewhere (either in a TMM blog or a conservation blog) that there is a subspecies of grey wolf that IS critically endangered. I believe it’s the Mexican grey wolf? I headcanon she was injected with DNA specifically from a Mexican grey wolf.
Moving on. In Chapter 3 (which was a DELIGHT), we met Ayato. Chapter 3 was the most frustrating chapter because let me tell you, Au Lait marks the first time I have ever read a manga chapter by chapter as it was being released in Japan. So I’m waiting Nakayoshi to publish the chapter, then I’m waiting for someone to scan Nakayoshi, then I’m waiting for someone to translate it, over and over and over, and omg I can’t believe this is what people DO. I’ve waited for full volumes before, but CHAPTERS? This is torture. Ayato, I haven’t had enough TIME with you!
Ayato seems to be an actor (in a really... really weird stage play), and has very few lines in his first appearance. I’m not sure what I make of him. He says about six sentences, which is actually a lot for a character introduced on a cliffhanger, but... I can’t decide if he’s said them in a mysterious Sailors Neptune and Uranus way or a flamboyant Sohma Ayame way. I ALSO DON’T KNOW WHAT ANIMAL HE IS AND I AM VERY ANGRY. BB Ryuusei said he smells like yakitori (a type of grilled chicken), which confirms he’s a bird. But. WHICH BIRD, DAMNIT?
CHAPTER FOUR WHERE ARE YOU?
THE FUNDING
AKASAKA KEIICHIRO, HINATA NATSUME, SHIROGANE RYOU
Hello again, Ryou! The boys here were wallpaper (though cute wallpaper) in the reboot. Natsume is 100% a troll. I love her. She admits in chapter 3 she literally just injected hot boys for her Mew Mew project. Even Ryou wasn’t that blunt. I mean, if you gotta save Earth and stare at people while you do it, they better be cute, right?
IF FOUND, PLEASE CALL THE FANDOM
MIDORIKAWA RETASU, SHIRAYUKI BERII, AKAI RINGO
Aside from her two half panels as a Mew Mew per chapter, this is the only good cap of Retasu as a civilian in the reboot. D: I believe Hiroo Taichi will be her counterpart in Au Lait.
I never liked Berii. There, I said it. She got TWO animals. She was some random newbie and she got to be leader just like that? And she was clueless and dumb and the writing in A La Mode wasn’t great. But I really like 2020 Berii. She’s cute, she seems more rabbit than cat, and she seems more intelligent and less of a blonde Ichigo clone. I don’t know if she’ll have an Au Lait counterpart.
WHERE IS RINGO? THE REBOOT WAS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO PUT HER IN THE STORY FOR REAL AND SHE JUST... WASN’T THERE?! THIS IS BLASPHEMY. RINGO IS THE BEST MEW MEW. BEST GIRL. JUSTICE FOR RINGO.
THE RELATIONSHIPS
MASAYA & ICHIGO VS AOI & ANZU
ZAKURO & MINTO VS AYATO & RYUUSEI
Nearly all of 2020 chapter 1 focused on Ichigo seeing Masaya again. I’m guessing this took place after he left for London. Ichigo left with him after A La Mode, and some time between then and Re-Turn came back to Japan, and now Masaya is back. They are still as lovey as ever, but not as sickeningly cute as Tsukino Usagi and Chiba Mamoru or anything. Phew! Their counterpart in Au Lait seems to Aoi and Anzu. (Look at that height difference! Poor Anzu, her poor neck.) Aoi already has a massive crush on her, but Anzu, bless her, is oblivious.
AND NOW FOR THE GAYS.
I think Zakuro and Minto is probably one of the most popular TMM ships and holy lesbians, Batman, they were well fed with this GORGEOUS panel at the end of chapter 2. Look at it. Zakuro had literally no panels, save for her two intros, to herself, and barely any panels at all in the reboot, and then BA-BAM, this beautiful ending shot. I swear Ikumi did it on purpose. Speaking of gays - is Ayato/Ryuusei the new Zakuro/Minto? Ayato seems to be at least bisexual (he also hit on Anzu), but this was literally his second panel. He is in a (terrible, TERRIBLE) play, and the actors are walking in the audience looking for the villain. Ayato walks into the audience and HITS ON RYUUSEI. His first goddamn words are “Do you want me to keep you, my cute little puppy?” to Ryuusei. He says fuck this acting shit, I see a SNACK. I think I ship it. I think I ship it hard.
THE STORY
*Au Lait is just getting started, so typical magical girl boy anime manga: Let’s find the others! Shenanigans! Some fillers! It’s cute, I love it, go read it.
*2020 Re-Turn is actually REALLY GOOD and chapter 2 reminds me of just how unique Tokyo Mew Mew was and still is among not just magical girl series, but animanga as a whole. Quick, what was the last environmental series you remember? Mine was Captain Planet - in the 90s. Preachy, in your face, after school special about things like pollution and endangered species and littering and honestly it was really cool, but very much a product of its time. Even now, magical girl animanga is still focused on bad guys, but bad guys are generic and represent something created for the series. Here, the bad guys are US, other human beings, who traffic animals, who endanger them, who wreck our planet enough that animals are barely clinging to life. There’s a very poignant scene featuring the adorable snow leopard up there (who’s the secondary protagonist of the reboot) ^, showing his mother being shot and himself being snatched by poachers, and he’s terrified, and has no idea what’s going on or where he is, and Ichigo is terrified for him. We need more series like this - not just of the magical girl genre, but of ALL genres. To make it accessible in this way, for people of all ages, something enjoyable, that people can fangirl over and love and its creators clearly put a lot of love and thought into. We need another Captain Planet, but less preachy, less after school special-y. We don’t want to be like the aliens (who remember, are descendants of humans who fucked up Earth so badly they had to leave it).
Behind all the cute of this manga and its reboot, and its new spinoff, Tokyo Mew Mew has a powerful message that we should all be following. It’s not even subtle. Get yo shit together, peeps.

Resident Evil Village: How Lady Dimitrescu’s Daughters Pay Tribute to Dracula’s Brides
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
While Lady Dimitrescu’s mysterious nature and…umm…proportions quickly made her an internet favorite, some of the most fascinating characters from the Resident Evil Village trailers/demo have to be Lady Dimitrescu’s equally mysterious daughters.
Even using the word “daughters” is potentially misleading. Lady Dimitrescu refers to the characters as her daughters, but aspects of the game’s lore hinted at by circumstantial evidence suggest that they may not actually be her daughters. There’s even a hint that they could somehow be manufactured.
It’s also been noted that the characters share many design similarities with the famous “brides” of Dracula who typically occupy the Count’s castle and have become a core component of the character’s mythology. Of course, those are his brides and not his daughters, so they can’t be an exact parallel to the Village characters, right?
cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });
Well, here’s the thing. It turns out that most of what you may “know” about Dracula’s brides could be wrong. In fact, the truth about the characters strongly suggests that they share much more in common with Lady Dimitrescu’s daughters than you may believe.
Let’s go back to the original Dracula novel. You probably know that many liberties have been taken with Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel over the years (due largely to the success of the 1931 film which embedded several changes into the public consciousness), but every now and then, you have to stop and appreciate just how different the original novel is from what we typically think of when we think of the Dracula story.
So how much were the brides changed in the many Dracula films? Well, Dracula’s brides were in the book and, for the most part, they were portrayed similarly to how you’d probably imagine them if you picture them in your head when you think of the various Dracula adaptations in pop culture history. They’re highly sexual, they live in the castle, and they’re vampires who seem to be somewhat subservient to Dracula either because they were turned into vampires by him or they are his actual brides.
What’s interesting, though, is that the Dracula novel never actually references any formal relationship the characters have to Dracula. It’s never explicitly stated that they’re married or that they have some kind of relationship outside of being vampires. In fact, the only time that any such relationship possibilities are referenced is when they’re described as “weird sisters.”
Now, it’s possible that the term sisters is just an example of the colloquialism of the time. Mina calls Lucy her sister at one point in the story, and the vampires call Mina their “sister” after she drinks Dracula’s blood. There’s certainly enough evidence to suggest that the term “sisters” is being used rather casually. That last example even suggests that the trio see themselves as sisters because they were all turned into vampires by Dracula.
Before you entirely disregard the theory that the “brides” are actually sisters, though, consider their original physical descriptions. Two of the brides have dark hair and are specifically described as resembling Dracula. However, the third bride has blonde hair and is treated differently from the other two. She’s addressed by the other brides with a kind of reverence, and her tomb is more elaborate than the others. Even Dracula seems to treat her with more respect.
That dynamic has given rise to the theory that only the blonde vampire is actually Dracula’s bride and that the other two are sisters. In fact, they seem to be the pair’s biological or at least adopted (in a possibly loose use of the term) daughters. While that’s not confirmed anywhere in the book, it’s nevertheless fascinating that there seems to be more of a complicated dynamic at play than the generally accepted idea that these women are just Dracula’s brides.
So how did that dynamic get lost in translation over the years? There doesn’t seem to be an official explanation for the change in the 1931 film, but it was likely due to the content restrictions of the time. The novel implied (but again, never explicitly stated) that there was an incestuous relationship between Dracula and his daughters/brides. The popular theory was that such a relationship was meant to convey how far Dracula and his brood had fallen out of polite society and religion-driven morality. It’s hard to imagine a 1931 horror film diving into that topic, even if it was the pre-code era.
It’s also certainly worth noting that the popular gender dynamics of 1931 probably made it much easier to just describe the women as Dracula’s brides. After all, we’re sure the studio was happy to cast three attractive (and ultimately uncredited) actresses in their film, but it’s not a stretch to suggest that the idea that they’re servants of Dracula or below him on the social ladder would have either been the popular assumption at the time or an idea that was forced upon the writers so that they don’t challenge social standards with some monster flick. For that matter, it’s darkly amusing that there’s a lasting implication that Dracula has “brides” in any kind of sense of the word. Did they get married at night court?
However it happened, the idea of Dracula having brides certainly took root over the years. Everything from Dracula 2000 and The Monster Squad to the criminally underrated Brides of Dracula either directly refers to the women as brides or else fails to present the idea that some of them may be his daughters. Even 1992’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula (which is considered to be one of the most “faithful” major adaptations of the novel) leaves you with the impression that these characters are simply his brides.
So has the idea of Dracula having daughters ever come up on film? There have been a few instances, but the most notable has to be the appropriately named 1936 film, Dracula’s Daughter. That movie was the result of a bidding war/battle over a short story called Dracula’s Guest that was essentially a cut chapter from the Dracula novel. Interestingly, though, it’s believed that the movie is actually based on the famous lesbian vampire story, Carmilla. In fact, Dracula’s Daughter proved to be incredibly controversial due to the implication that the lead character is a lesbian.
That’s what’s so fascinating about the vampire daughters in Resident Evil Village. While many minds jumped to the visuals of Dracula’s brides as soon as they saw the characters, the fact of the matter is that the very implication that those characters are his brides is just that: an implication. It’s a holdover from years of portrayals that either directly supported that idea or otherwise did little to challenge it.
While Dracula’s brides have obviously worked their way into the public consciousness and are memorable characters in their own right, there is something refreshing about the idea that the daughters in Resident Evil Village are invoking the powerful imagery of those characters while allowing them to thrive in an environment that is (according to everything we’ve seen thus far) dominated by women.
After all, everything we’ve seen of Dracula’s “brides” over the years strongly suggests that they’re badass lionesses who really run the show. It certainly seems Dimitrescu’s daughters honor that legacy.

( * VERSE : RESIDENT EVIL !
her dreams were shattered . at least , that’s what she thought when she was expelled from the united states military academy west point for refusing to compromise who she was : a lesbian . she feared that the childhood dream she’d held so dear , to serve her country and protect the lives of the innocent and ensure what happened to her , her mother and her twin sister —— may their memory be a blessing —— would never happen to anyone else , was dead . all her hard work to get there , to excel as she did , for nothing . her entire life , she thought , was wasted .
but a few nights after her return to gotham city , she was woken up from a drunken stupor by a phone call from the captain of the gotham city police department’s special crimes unit , maggie sawyer . a call that would forever change her life , in more than one way . she listened intently as captain sawyer expressed how impressed she’d been by kate’s achievements at west point and all but jumped at her offer of a place on her squad . how could she turn it down —— this second chance she never imagined she’d get ?
a couple years on the squad and she finds herself completely in love with captain sawyer . they’re engaged and already building a life with maggie’s ten year old daughter , jamie . but kate’s happily ever after goes sharply south when jamie goes missing after running away from her father’s home to return to theirs to be with her mother . the investigation leads them to the discovery of a handful of facilities utilized in experiments for the umbrella corporation’s “ project resistance ” .
jamie is located safe and sound with a handful of teens and young adults previously missing and presumed dead , but the horrific number of bodies found piled in the waste disposal tell them that countless others weren’t so lucky . further investigation into the project and the umbrella corporation itself led the scu down a rabbit hole of bioterrorism that culminates in herself , her wife , and a few of their squadmates joining the bioterrorism security assessment alliance .
kate once again finds herself under captain sawyer’s command but this time it’s with global security in mind , not just gotham’s .
#█ ▌ VERSE. 〈 INTRODUCTION. 〉#█ ▌ FEAR CAN’T KILL YOU‚ BUT … 〈 RESIDENT EVIL. 〉#;)#I FEEL LIKE I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE BUT#i technically have 2 RE verses??#this one that actually adapts kate into RE canon#and then the other is basically an extension of my mainverse to treat RE as if it also eexists within the DC universe and#batwoman is an occasional operative of the BSAA just like she was an agent for the DEO for a while
