#trepha's family

[mr-shimurka]

Here's Frederick, he seems very gentle but, please, don't trust his pure face, he's his mom kid, this boy "could kill you by looking at you🦋" - Sypha

[autumnmobile12]

“Simon, I have watched you repeatedly hit a bullseye from two hundred yards while riding at full gallop,”  Catherina said.  “I can’t do that.  Leona can’t do that.  I’m not even sure if our father can do that.”

...

Simon loved his family dearly.

It was just they were a little ‘much’and as a result, he preferred to keep his visits to home short and infrequent.  Supply runs, nothing more.  Even now, he’d lingered in the village longer than he’d meant to, though that was on account of Mother.  He’d meant to leave yesterday morning.  His provisions, no doubt including some well-meaning gifts from family who missed him, were still packed and arranged neatly by the door.  All that needed doing was saddling his horse and rounding up his dogs.  Yet when he had come downstairs, well rested for the four hour journey ahead, he found Mother already awake in the kitchen, staring forlornly out the window.  Sypha had never been a morning person and three growing children had not changed that, which led him to conclude she either hadn’t slept well or she feared he would slip away with little more than a note of farewell.

Whichever it was, she heard his step on the stairs and turned to him with a smile that would have convinced him had he not seen her sadness prior.  Was he ready to leave, she asked.  Did he have enough food?  Was he warm enough in his mountain shelter?  Would he like help preparing to leave?  She sounded so genuine in hiding her heartache from him that Simon only felt a sharp pang of guilt.  He loved her, really he did, and he weighed the selfishness of his desire for solitude against the sadness his departure would bring for his family.

...

He loosed the arrow with a quiet hiss.  It cut through the air like a lightning bolt and struck the doe in a quick, clean shot through her shoulder.  Simon quickly drew another arrow as she faltered, but he needn’t have bothered.  After a moment, the deer slumped quietly to her knees and then collapsed softly onto the earth.  Lowering his bow, the young man made his way out of the undergrowth.  When he reached the felled deer, he knelt and bowed his head.  “Forgive my taking of your precious life.  May your spirit depart in peace, may your body nourish my family and people.”

Note: His name comes from the Lords of Shadow timeline.

Simon is the enigma of the family, and honestly the one I really struggled with developing.  His sisters are both remarkable in their own way with Leona being the formidable warrior and Catherina the skilled mage of the siblings.  Finding something that would both set Simon apart from the girls and yet balance out their talents was a challenge.

I at first played with the idea that he feels pressured by the feeling of being overshadowed by his sisters, ignoring or even discrediting his own abilities and struggling internally with the idea of living up to his family’s expectations.  But that’s an archetype that’s really cliché, and I wanted there to be more to his character.  Archery was one of the first things that came to mind.  In the medieval period, especially for England, archery was high in demand for the English wars.  Bowmen were crazy strong to the point their skeletons are actually deformed to such a degree that archeologists can identify their bones in dig sites.  So this is not an idle skill by any means.  The strength need to draw a longbow requires years of dedicated practice.

The idea of him living in the mountains came from fur trappers who live in isolation throughout the winter, which led to Simon’s love for solitude and animals.  He keeps hunting dogs, naming them after archangels and war goddesses.  He's gifted with animals, so during his time in isolation, he catches falcons and hawks to train and sell to the wealthy citizens of nearby cities.  He’s also a skilled herbalist, both a healer and a poisoner.

Throughout, he seems to have the quiet bearing and dignity of a shaman or a monk, which aligns perfectly with his mother’s heritage.  In his early years when his personality was first developing, his tendency to wander off to play by himself was a source of concern for Sypha.  Coming from a culture that places value in community, she found her son’s solitary nature odd but ultimately harmless. She doesn’t know it, but in this, he takes after her father, who passed before she was born.  For her peace of mind, she taught him her ability to manipulate fire so that he would never freeze during his travels in the mountains.  Alucard checks up on him frequently, too.

In temperament, Simon has two outward modes of operation and almost zero in between.  For the most part, he has the quieter, more somber elements of Trevor’s character, but like Sypha, when Simon reaches his breaking point, he is perfectly capable of losing his shit.  It’s always a source of awe for the rest of the family and a pretty effective gauge in telling when things have officially gone too far.

In the end, despite his extreme introverted behavior, Simon’s love for his family is boundless.  He’s never hesitated to drop everything when he hears there’s trouble at home and he always comes back for the village festivals.

Key words for Simon:  Independent, resourceful, patient, calm.  The Belmont outrider and keeper of the woodland.

Precocious Magic (A Fluffy Netflix Castlevania Fic)

Summary: Trevor and Sypha's youngest child is cranky and they can't figure out why. Turns out the answer is something he inherited from his mother

Notes: I'm inspired again baby!! I started this fluffly drabble about 2 years ago and I finally felt inspired enough to finish it! For context, Trevor and Sypha have 3 kids; Sonia's 8 and hasher father's hair and mother's eyes. Christopher's 5 and looks almost exactly like Trevor. And Mateo is 6-months and looks exactly like Sypha. There are connections to my other fics as well. Enjoy!

***

Trevor was sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast with his son and daughter. He heard a small wail from the bedroom and raised an eyebrow.

“Sypha? You and Mateo okay in there?” Trevor called.

“We’re fine, Trevor, we’ll be out in a few minutes.” Sypha called back. Trevor hummed and continued eating.

“Dad, can we train more today?” Sonia asked eagerly. “I’ve been practicing with the whip every day, I can hit all the targets you put out now!”

“Is that so?” Trevor asked with a smirk, fatherly pride in his voice. “Sure, kiddo. Finish your breakfast and then we’ll go to the training yard.”

Sonia made an excited sound and shoveled food into her mouth faster. Christopher pouted.

“It’s not fair, I’m plenty old enough to use a whip. I want to train too!” Christopher argued.

Trevor sighed. “Christopher, we already talked about this. It’s Belmont tradition that our children begin training at 6. That’s when your sister started, that’s when I started, and that’s when you’ll start. You’re almost there, it’s only a few months until your 6th birthday.”

“My 6th birthday is forever from now! I want to train now!”

“Stop being such a baby, Christopher,” Sonia snapped. “Dad already said he’ll teach you when you’re 6, so stop whining and wait. That’s what I did.”

“I’m not a baby!”

“Then stop acting like one!”

“You’re mean, Sonia!” Christopher hit Sonia on the shoulder with an open-palm.

“Cut it out, Christopher!” Sonia exclaimed as she hit her brother upside the head. This led to the two children grabbing and wrestling each other.

“Kids, KIDS!” Trevor yelled as he stood up and yanked his children off of each other. “What did I tell you about fighting at the table?”

“What is all the shouting about?” Sypha asked in an agitated tone as she entered the kitchen holding a cranky-looking Mateo.

“Christ, why did we have 3 kids, Sypha? They outnumber us now.” Trevor asked. It was then that he noticed how exhausted Sypha looked. He softened his tone. “Hey, are you and Mateo all right?”

“Mattie’s having a rough morning,” Sypha responded as she bounced her sad baby son. “He’s cranky. I do not know why he is cranky, but he is cranky. Maybe some breakfast will cheer him up.”

Sypha placed the baby in the high chair and got him a small bowl of porridge. She scooped up a spoonful and brought it towards Mateo’s mouth. He pursed his lips together and turned his head away from the spoon.

“Come on, Mattie, it’s porridge. It’s your favorite,” Sypha coaxed as she tried to feed him again. Mateo turned his head the other way. “Please, baby?”

Mateo’s bottom lip began to tremble and he started crying. Sypha sighed and picked him up again.

Trevor frowned at the sight of his tired wife and inconsolable son. He reached out his arms. “Sypha, let me hold him. Maybe he needs to be in another pair of arms. That worked with the other 2 when they were babies.”

Sypha, willing to do anything to see her youngest child happy again, handed the baby to Trevor. Trevor adjusted the baby in his arms. “Good morning, little man. What’s going on, huh? You’re normally so happy when you wake up.”

Mateo kept whimpering as his father bounced him. The baby took an open palm and patted Trevor’s shoulder a few times.

Trevor suddenly felt a burning sensation on his shoulder. He looked down and saw that his tunic was on fire.

“What the…” Trevor stood up in alarm. “Shit! Sypha!”

Sypha’s eyes widened. “My god, hold on!” With a twist of her hand, the flame on Trevor’s shirt disappeared. She rushed over to him to inspect the damage.

“Are you all right? What happened?” Sypha asked as she examined both Trevor and Mateo.

“It was Mattie!” Sonia said excitedly. “I saw it! Fire came out of Mattie’s hand and set Dad’s tunic on fire!”

“Yeah, I saw it too!” Christopher said with just as much excitement. “That was amazing!”

Trevor and Sypha looked at each other in astonishment before looking at Mateo. The baby was now smiling and giggling, all signs of distress gone. Sypha beamed.

“Mateo!” She exclaimed as she took the baby from Trevor and held him close. “You used magic! You’re 6-months-old and you can use magic! I knew it! I knew I sensed magic power in you when you were still in my belly! Oh baby I’m so proud of you!” Sypha peppered the baby’s face in kisses, which made Mateo giggle even more.

“How is that even possible? Didn’t you say that children with magic powers don’t start showing them until they’re older?” Trevor asked. He felt the pain from his burn and hissed through his teeth. “Ah fuck, he really got me.”

Sonia and Christopher giggled. “Hehe, Dad said ‘fuck.’” Sonia stated through giggles.

Sypha tempered her happiness just a little so she could use her “stern mom” voice. “Trevor, don’t curse in front of the kids. And Sonia, don’t repeat your father when he swears.”

“Come on Sypha, give me a break on this one. This is a pretty extraordinary circumstance.” Trevor responded. He stood up and walked over to the bucket of cool well water so he could treat his burn.

Sypha’s lips turned into a smile again as she looked at Mateo. “Well, it is pretty extraordinary. The Speakers’ memory stores don’t have any records of a child younger than 5 being able to use magic. And do you know who that child was?”

“Was it you?”

“It was me!” Sypha beamed again as she hugged Mateo. “Mattie inherited precocious magic use from his mama!”

Mateo gurgled in happiness before reaching his hand out again. Another burst of flame shot out of his hand and towards the window curtains, mere centimeters away from Trevor. Trevor barely had enough time to jump out of the way.

“Jesus Christ this kid’s trying to kill me!” Trevor exclaimed. Sonia and Christopher couldn’t stop laughing. Sypha reached her hand out again and extinguished the fire on the curtains with a quick hand gesture.

“Guess that’s something I’ll have to get used to,” Sypha said as she ran a hand through Mateo’s thick red curls. “Magic is very hard to control when you’re young. And it’s uncomfortable. I remember setting my caravan’s wagon on fire when I was 5. It was an accident of course. Before it happened, I felt bad stomach pains. I felt like I was going to burst from the inside. Before I knew it, fire shot out of my hands and the wagon was on fire.”

“Hmm, you think that’s why Mateo was cranky this morning?” Trevor asked. Sypha’s eyes widened in realization.

“Yes, that must be it!” she exclaimed. “Look how happy he is now. I didn’t even notice in all the excitement! Oh my poor baby, you must have been hurting this morning from all the magic inside, weren’t you?” Sypha snuggled Mateo even more.

“So what’s next? You said that there’s no record of a child younger than 5 using magic. What should we do with Mateo then?” Trevor asked.

Sypha looked at the ceiling in thought, now looking a little concerned. “That’s the question isn’t it? This was new territory when I first started using magic. I have a few strategies, but not many. Do you think the Belmont Hold has any books that can help?”

“Definitely worth a shot,” Trevor replied. “It’s been almost 10 years since we first went down there and we’re still finding new material.”

“Uncle Alucard’s library too!” Sonia exclaimed. “He has books about everything.”

“And the Danesti library!” Christopher added.

“Ah, what smart children I have,” Sypha said proudly as she bent down to kiss her 2 oldest children. “We have a lot of options. I’m sure to find something out.”

“I’ll walk you to Alucard’s then,” Trevor said as he finished bandaging his shoulder. “It’s on the way to the training yard. Sonia, are you still up for whip training today?”

Sonia nodded enthusiastically. ���Yeah, I can’t wait!”

“Mum, can I go with you and Mattie to Uncle Alucard’s?” Christopher asked. Sypha ran her free hand through Christopher’s hair.

“Of course, mi amor. I’ll spend the day with my 2 favorite boys.” Sypha said fondly. “You and Sonia go wait for us outside. Your father and I will be right there.”

The children ran outside, leaving Trevor, Sypha, and Mateo alone. Sypha walked over to Trevor and put a gentle hand on his shoulder.

“You’re not hurt too badly, right?” Sypha asked. Trevor shook his head.

“Nah, this body’s put up with more pain than that,” Trevor answered. “I felt it though. If Mateo’s magic is already this strong, he’s going to be a powerful magician when he’s older. And he’s got the perfect teacher to guide him along the way.”

Trevor and Sypha leaned their foreheads together and smiled. Sypha’s smile slowly turned into a devilish grin.

“And Mattie has a perfect subject to use as target practice,” Sypha said as she pat Trevor’s cheek.

“Hmm… wait, what was that?”

@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)

[ineedmoretrevorcardcontent]

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

Trephacard children 1/5- Connor Mathias Leon Belnades Belmont 

"Familiar of the Wolf"

Headcanons:

The only one who wanted to continue the legacy of the Belmont family.

Connor is a hunter, but not necessarily a vampire hunter, although he is trained and has the weapons to be one. He has not killed anyone and plans to keep it that way.

 He knows that unlike his sisters and one of his parents, his time is limited and that makes him want to always up on the expectation and is very hard on himself when he can not achieve it.

 Like any good Belmont he is very impulsive but has good intentions, is very teasing and sarcastic by nature. 

He is not a fan of reading, but loves help his sister in the laboratory.

He does not have much ability to learn languages, he only speaks fluently the dialect of Wallanchia and Spanish. But he knows how to curse in almost 20 languages, (Trevor and Connor have that in common)

Connor is the biological son of Sypha and Trevor, but Alucard was his father when he thought that it was possible for three people to have a baby, and he will always be.

He is bisexual, he always knew it and his parents always knew it, he did not even have to come out of the closet.

[shadechu]

Let's do this stuff… after including some options

With my personal tastes about every interactions and/or headcanons entirely inspired in the same interactions (or possibilities and "What if" scenarios)

OTPs:

💛Gretacard: Alucard X Greta💚

���Trepha: Trevor X Sypha💙

♥️Draculisa: Dracula X Lisa💛

💜Strigana: Striga X Morana🖤

Guilty pleasure ships:

💛Syphacard: Alucard X Sypha💙

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 ✨✨✨

🖤Isaacard: Alucard X Isaac💛

I know, I know! These 2 didn't meet each other in the series 😅 But imagine the potential of the beloved son of Dracula and the loyal forgemaster that Dracula saved before he died; they could have had a bloody battle if we talk about S2, sure… but then we saw this wholesome development from Isaac and his hopeful ending, he wasn't the same man anymore compared to S2. How could have been the things between S3 and S4: if the dhampire who protected the good side of the mankind AND the human who hated mankind had interacted, and what if Alucard had helped Isaac (similar to how The Captain did) talking him over the kindness of the mankind? So, in a post-S4 scenario: how could have been an ending between the New King of Styria and the son of the vampire who saved him? Dracula and Lisa like Isaac's parents-in-law had been another example of what Alucard knew that Isaac ignored. Alucard's bisexuality and Isaac's homosexuality were confirmed, so… why not? 👀✨

💛Hectorcard: Alucard X Hector💜

Yeah, similar to Isaac&Alucard, we didn't see them interacting never once in the series. But all those parallelisms between Hector and Alucard over their traumas, they were sweet souls that were manipulated and suffered because of other people's desires… man, they could have understood each other in a very deep way. And why not? Let's imagine that after he killed Taka&Sumi one crying Alucard was surprised by Cezar (yeah, we miss the zombie puppy in this house 😩) and he wasn't alone anymore✨ but some time later… this unexpected and adorable team we didn't know we needed; dhampire and undead puppy; those Immortal heroes discovered the Castle's magic mirror and they went to Styria to rescue Cezar's former forgemaster from Carmilla and Lenore's tyranny. Finally, Hector and Alucard became friends, returned to Wallachia together, and lived happily ever after with their undead puppy ✨✨✨ let me and my crazy what if fantasies alone, okay?! 😩😂

BROTPs:

💜Isaactor: Hector & Isaac🖤

I need to be honest, I was THIIIIIIS close 👌 of ship them in a guilty way after their powerful scene when my poor Hector recovered his freedom in THAT way, it's your fault, Lenore!!!! *cough* And the evolution of their bond at S4 compared to how it was in S2… whao!! I could have accepted the possibility of them like a plot twist endgame if this had happened! An unexpected, but very positive one. Sadly it wasn't :C Oh well, Dracula's wish became true at the end, his former forgemasters became friends and this was so beautiful 🤗

🖤Trevorcard: Trevor & Alucard💛

Oh yeah, the most popular ship from the fandom is one of my biggest brotps not bromances deal with it :P I enjoyed their dynamic but I never shipped them, Trevor NEVER showed that type of attraction towards Adrian, nor Adrian to him neither. They're just pals, buddies, Bros, and Trevor's love for Sypha DOESN'T involve a poly-orgy with Alucard at all. Sorry, Trephacard shippers. The only confirmed guy as bisexual here was Alucard, not Treffy :P it's even more valuable to see a friendship between a hetero guy and a "queer" guy WITHOUT homophobic tension. That's what the world needs to be a better place, full of acceptance and respect! But well, apparently Alucard cannot have platonic friendships only because he is bisexual… "he must fuck every guy he is close with" because he is Bisexual, right? 😬That's actually more homophobic or problematic if you think carefully about it… and the fandom can still shipping them if they enjoy their fanon/headcanon romance without forcing it like if that was their "canon" dynamic in the series. But for me??? Treffycard platonic supremacy ftw ✨ I loved how their bond evolved since S1 to S4 uwu

💛Grepha: Greta & Sypha💚

Like I already said over Trevorcard, why a female/bisexual confirmed character needs to fuck with every female character she interacts with? "Only because Greta had a poly-orgy before"? Bisexual people can have platonic friendships too. I could understand "Grepha" if they had talked more than ONCE at the FINAL episode of the LAST season. Greta interacted a lot with Alucard, she even showed attraction towards him because she blushed for him… but when Greta reflected that interest for Sypha? Greta with Alucard is a forced romance but Greta with a woman she just met is not forced? The show-runners already denied the theory of Greta being the genderbent design of Grant Danasty, so you cannot use the excuse "Grant had feelings for Sypha in the games", Greta isn't Grant, she is only Greta. Greta was the Bisexual girl confirmed here, not Sypha. Maaaaybe I could have liked the potential of their dynamic… if the fandom hadn't showed Grepha (or Greta+Trephacard) like their way to avoid the possibility of Gretacard like an individual, BISEXUAL m/f couple. And if Greta had talked with Sypha more than once lol For a f/f ship involving Sypha with a WoC, the show already gave me a lot more of deep interactions and SO MANY FEELS between her and Zamfir, even if they killed Zamfir at the end (WHYYYYYY?! 💔) Syphamfir supremacy!!! 👊😭

💚Gretrevor: Trevor & Greta🖤

Almost the same that with Grepha, but worst… because Trevor and Greta never interacted at all, nor once 😅 I can only imagine them like future buddies while they're training or something like that. Maybe Greta can be the future godmother of Trevor's future baby while Alucard can be the godfather 😊 and Trevor is hot, but Greta DOESN'T need to feel attraction for every handsome, badass guy she meets lol Trevor is already happy with Sypha anyway. Maybe I could have had a different opinion if they… had…interacted… maybe someone could make me feel different in some AUs, idk 😂😂😂

NOTPs:

Hector with any of his 2 vampire abusers… I cannot believe that one of them had even a ship name with him!!!

In which Adrian is a brat and way too smart for anyone’s good, Trevor is confused but he’s also too well trained for his own good, Dracula may not be capable of getting a heart attack but that doesn’t stop him from trying, Sypha swears she is the only one with a functioning brain around here, and Lisa schemes like a proper Lady of the Night.

Or: Adrian activates his father’s transmission mirror, ends up in unfamilliar woods and adopts a hunter. Everyone else just has to deal with it.

Blind Date with a Belmont (Complete) Trevorcard

If there was one constant in Adrian's life, it was this: Belmonts could never be trusted.

It'd been twelve years since they'd abruptly stopped hunting Adrian's family. His parents had never explained why the pact was formed, but after more than a decade of peace, Adrian finally learned to stop looking over his shoulder. Life in a small town, working in his mother's bookstore, was quiet and simple, if sometimes a bit dull.

Then a new Belmont entered the picture: less threatening than he should be, with dark hair, piercing blue eyes, and a baffling interest in Adrian's newly proposed Blind Date with a Book display.

From birth, Adrian had been taught to fear the Belmonts. Somehow, this one was different.

We’ll Have Ourselves a Merry Christmas, One Way or Another (Complete) Trephacard

Adrian is feeling down about the holidays after having a fight with his father about his relationship with Trevor and Sypha. His partners are supportive in their own ways and Lisa Tepes talks some sense into her husband behind the scenes. 

dirty paws (Complete) Trevorcard

Trevor befriends a wolf. 

Honorary Family (Complete) Trevorcard

Trevor is only twelve when his family and home are burned and taken away from him, a month on his own in the wilderness is harder than it sounds when a kid is in that mindset. One desperate night he plans to steal some food and medicine from a home and ends up intervening when Lisa is being threatened by the church and saves her life but is taken in her place.

After almost being burned himself Trevor wakes up in the famous Dracula castle being taken care of, he bonds with Lisa quickly but has a harder time learning to trust Dracula and Adrian due to his upbringing. Or in which Trevor saves Lisa and ends up being semi-adopted by the Tepes family, he and Adrian have an odd relationship. They get at each other's throats but are also partners in crime a lot of the time. It might take Trevor a while to figure out what exactly this feeling is that isn't quite brothership but is definitely more than just friends.

Righting Wrongs (Complete) Trevorcard 

Trevor stumbles through the area of Târgoviște, right in time to witness Lisa being accused of witchcraft. He doesn't take kindly to that. And the Țepeș family does not forget their debts. 

A Parental Predicament (Complete) Trevorcard

Adrian is bringing home his boyfriend to meet his parents. There's just one tiny problem: his boyfriend is a descendant of a notorious monster-hunting family, and his father is Dracula.

It goes about as well as you would expect.

end of sanctuary (Complete) Trephacard

With the help of psychological magic, Trevor and Sypha enter into Alucard's dream world in order to help him confront his trauma, guilt, and other personal demons while also reevaluating their own relationship to him.

A.K.A. The seduction of Hector or Isaac thinks Hector deserves nice things.

Good Gloaming (Complete) Isaac/Hector

“Ah,” Isaac sighs when they first meet. “You’re the other Forgemaster.”

He says “other” the way most people say “pig shit,” but Hector’s tired from traveling and he doesn’t really think much about it until he’s gotten lost for the third time in an hour, in the same wing of the castle—following the directions that Isaac gave him.

In Memoriam (Complete) Gen & Trephacard

Trevor Belmont's family died when he was 12. He's spent quite a lot of time running from it since then. Lying to himself.

“But you know that the word Teloch means of death, right?”

Maybe, maybe it's time to stop.

Deliverance (Incomplete - 35/?) Trephacard

Adrian is beginning to think that Wallachia will be a smoking pile of ash long before he, Trevor, and Sypha can stop Dracula’s war on humanity. They’ve been chasing the castle for months, but each time they get close, it vanishes. Traveling with such genuine and trustworthy allies has been unexpectedly pleasant; Adrian doesn’t mind that Trevor and Sypha are involved with each other, but he is taken entirely by surprise when they open their relationship to him one evening.

Hopelessly in over his head, his heart keeps urging him forward, even when he’s forced to confront the darkest aspects of his nature. Adrian must learn to swallow his pride and let himself be vulnerable if he wants a chance at happiness. Unfortunately, there isn’t much time for looking within when the world is drenched in blood and magic, and the path to victory may destroy him completely. 

With Broken Words I’ve Tried To Say (Complete) Trevorcard

In which Alucard sends a letter to Sypha, but ends up corresponding with Trevor instead. 

The Shops On Morning Street (Complete) Trevorcard

Trevor Belmont, former monster hunter and current florist, is tasked with looking into the proprietor of the new tattoo parlor across the street, much to his annoyance.

What he finds is Adrian Ţepeş, current half-vampire, current tattoo artist, and a whole lot more than Trevor bargained for.

[myscalesofjustice]

I’ve fallen into the “Trepha are Alucard’s new mum and dad” hole and I can’t see a way out. I do, however, see a chance for the concept to fix vampire Jesus’ broken world.

Dracula and Lisa were taken from Alucard, one by their own madness, one by the madness of others. They had nothing to give their son but an empty castle and a heavy heart.

Alucard is destined to leave the 15th century behind (probably by hibernation, possibly by time travel), thus lose his comrades forever. During his absence, Trevor and Sypha live a long, happy life together rebuilding the Belmont legacy, then pass on with grace. When Alucard reemerges, he learns he isn’t alone, much less forgotten. In their wake, his surrogate parents left him a family who will ensure he is never lonely again.

Something I noticed about Trepha in S3

I'm going to start with a bad faith take here, so bear with me. This is not something that I believe about the characters or the storyline, but a direction I noticed this season might have taken them in.

Bad faith take: Trepha is an abusive relationship, because Sypha is dragging Trevor along on her monster-hunting quest, and he is too enamored to protest.

Again, I do not believe that it is what is happening, and I do not believe that the characters would necessarily find themselves in this situation. But something about their interactions in S3 made me wonder if Castlevania MIGHT push this storyline, and I was grateful to find that they didn't.

Let me explain what made me think that, and then I'll refute it.

During some scenes, Sypha is visibly very excited to be monster hunting, seeming freer than she's ever been. She is shown to be purposefully putting off going back to her people. She's playfully ribbing at Trevor, calling him her idiot servant and putting her name first, "Belnades and Belmont."

For Trevor's part, he doesn't rib back nearly as much as we know he could. In fact, he seems a bit intimidated by her (which was almost certainly meant as a ship thing and a Respect Women Juice™ thing, but could have come off as an abuse thing). He reminds her that she has a family to go back to. She refuses, and he makes strange faces. Et cetera.

She's very high energy, and he often follows her lead.

THESE ARE NOT INHERENTLY BAD THINGS! I just thought the above points were adding up to this particular storyline, but thankfully they didn't! In the past two seasons, the two have built up a relationship on bickering, and Trevor has clearly felt comfortable enough to speak up on certain topics. And if he really felt uncomfortable about something, I do believe that Sypha would hear him out and not dismiss him. Part of HER character arc is being too cocky and not listening to people.

As pointed out as in this post, Trevor's whole storyline is about having hope and faith in the world again. While S2 builds that faith, S3 is where he digs in and tries to adopt it.

Sypha represents hope and belief in the good of the world. Trevor is hesitantly allowing himself to start to believe again. He is reserved, he doesn't want to get burned, but little by little he opens more and more. This all culminates in the S4 finale where Trevor sacrifices his life, taking on Death itself, to protect his loved ones. He doesn't expect to survive. And yet, miraculously, he does!

What a great way to make your happy ending mean something to the characters. It's not just, yay, they're happy. It's proof that they should indeed hold to the lessons they've learned on the way. You CAN find the good in the world.

Background Characters I Ended Up Naming

Because background stories for even characters who don't speak is fun.

So in writing Right Here, Always, I ended up giving some backstory to some of the Dănești survivors. Which was really just attaching names to background characters pulled from the series just so I could have a visual of who I was writing about.  Aside from Demetra the midwife and and her daughter Miruna, none of them had any real depth or character development, but I still wanted to build up their presence and the sense of community in the new village Alucard and company had established.

Thing is...the number of names and occupations mentioned in the fic began to pile up and I eventually had to write down a list to prevent discrepancies in the narrative.

Demetra and Miruna are the exception; I pretty much had them locked in at chapter one since they both play a significant role in the story.

Anyway, here is my reference list, as well as a few screenshots of some of the characters that were assigned a name.

Dănești Villagers

Dorin - carpenter

Costin - smith

Cătălin - Costin’s daughter

Iulia - weaver

Ilinca - baker

Traian - shoemaker

Demetra - midwife and healer

Miruna - her daughter

Toma - farrier

Raluca - his wife

Vali - potter

Sybil - barrister’s widow (now the legal consultant for the village)

Petre and Luca Albescu - a pair of brothers (unknown occupations)

Children

Miruna - Demetra's daughter

Ion

Sanda

Mihai - Sybil's son

Nicu

Dan

Uncle Awoocard (A Fluffy Netflix Castlevania Drabble)

Summary:  Alucard babysits Trevor and Sypha's baby. The baby absolutely loves when her uncle turns into the big puppy.  Possible mild spoilers for Season 4.

Author’s Notes: This idea has been in my mind for months and I've been dying to write about Wolf Alucard playing with the Trepha baby. I've also been wanting to write dialogue for Alucard for a while. Enjoy!

Trevor walked down the stairs of Alucard’s Castle with baby Sonia pressed against his chest. Trevor yawned widely while Sonia was wide awake, smiling and looking around at all the wonders the outdoors had to offer.

“There he is! Oi! Alucard!” Trevor called to the dhampir waiting at the bottom of the stairs.

“Good afternoon, Lady Sonia,” Alucard kindly greeted the baby, placing a hand on his chest and bowing his head. He narrowed his eyes in Trevor’s direction and flattened his voice. “Hello, Belmont.”

“Haha, you’re hilarious,” Trevor responded humorlessly as he rolled his eyes and handed the baby to Alucard. “Here she is. We just need you to watch her for a few hours so Sypha and I can sleep. Well, Sypha’s already asleep, she crashed as soon as I left our bedroom.”

“That bad?” Alucard asked as he accepted the baby. Sonia was excited to be in her uncle’s arms and began squealing, grabbing Alucard’s long blonde hair with both hands and pulling it gently.

Trevor sighed. “Up. All. Night. I don’t know what was going on with Sonia last night, but she wouldn’t stop crying and nothing Sypha and I did seemed to help. And somehow, Sonia is still wide awake and doing fine while Sypha and I are half dead. I’m convinced that human babies have some kind of supernatural powers. I’m thinking about adding an entry to the family bestiary.”

Alucard listened but kept his eyes on Sonia, staring at the baby warmly. “Well you know I never mind watching Sonia. I’m quite fond of her, which surprises me as she shares her genes with you.”

“Oh fuck off.”

Alucard raised an eyebrow. “Do you always use such foul language in front of your child?”

Trevor waved his hand in apology. “Sorry, sorry, I seriously owe you one for agreeing to watch her. I’m running on minutes of sleep here.”

“A Belmont apologizing to a vampire. You must be tired.”

Trevor gave his daughter a quick kiss on the head. “Don’t be good for your Uncle Alucard, Sunny. Give him hell. I’ll see you in a few hours.”

Alucard gave Trevor an unamused look.

“Not that tired.” Trevor grinned before flipping Aucard off and walking back inside the castle. Alucard sighed and gave Sonia a worried smile.

“Parenthood has had absolutely no effect on your father’s maturity levels, Sonia,” Alucard started. “I’d be more worried about you if Sypha wasn’t your mother.”

Sonia babbled a little and continued tugging on Alucard’s hair.

Alucard began walking towards a small wooded area close to the castle. “So, how would you like to spend our time together?”

Sonia continued babbling nonsensically as Alucard reached a clearing in the woods. As soon as he sat on a tree stump, Sonia clearly said:

“Awoowoo?”

“Hmm? Are you sure, Sonia?” Alucard asked, his lips breaking into a smile.

“Awoowoo!” Sonia exclaimed again, giggling and pressing her body against Alucard’s chest. God she was cute for a Belmont.

“As you wish, milady. Just for you.” Alucard gently placed Sonia on the forest floor and he shut his eyes, thick mist surrounding him. As the mist cleared, a big white wolf appeared in front of the baby. Sonia was absolutely thrilled, kicking her legs and laughing at the sight of her favorite giant puppy.

“Awoowoo!” Sonia squealed as she reached her hands towards Wolf Alucard. Alucard padded closer to her and licked her cheek, which only made the baby erupt in more laughter.

The wolf and the baby played for a long while; Sonia ran her chubby fingers through Alucard’s soft white fur, Alucard booped Sonia’s nose with his cold puppy nose, and at one point Alucard lay on his back while Sonia crawled onto his belly. As enjoyable as this was for Sonia, Alucard was having a great time as well.

When Alucard turned to lay on his side, he saw baby Sonia sit back down on the grass and start yawning. Alucard stood up and walked closer to Sonia.

Getting tired already, Sonia? Alucard thought as padded behind Sonia and lay down in an upright position. The combination of you staying up all night and playing with your favorite uncle must be catching up with you.

Sonia crawled closer to the wolf and nestled herself into his fur. Before Alucard knew it, Sonia was fast asleep. Alucard curled himself tighter around Sonia so that he was fully circled around her, keeping her warm and protected.

Your father’s going to be so angry when he learns that you fell asleep with me while you kept him awake all night, Alucard thought as he lay his head down. I am very much looking forward to telling him.

Watch — Trevor x Sypha

Back with some Trepha! This takes place between S2 and S3, and before the two are in a relationship. Hope you’ll enjoy it!

It was the cold that woke Sypha up. She was already shivering when she finally opened her eyes. Sleepily, she reached to her side, wondering why the hell Trevor was so cold, and the answer was, obviously, that Trevor wasn’t there. That didn’t worry her exactly, she knew he could handle himself just fine, but she also knew she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep without him, both his presence and his warmth. She was particularly demanding in terms of heat, and she wasn’t used to sleeping alone, after years of traveling with the people she considered her family.

She yawned and stretched, then poked her head out of the wagon, taking the blanked with her — she wasn’t crazy enough to leave without it. The nights were extremely cold. Or perhaps she just had a very low resistance to that, she didn’t quite know.

Sure enough, Trevor was sitting under a tree. She had no idea how he could sleep like that. It looked incredibly uncomfortable, from her perspective, but his eyes were closed, and his breathing seemed to be even.

She jumped from the wagon, grimacing at the feeling of the cold ground under her feet, and quickly ran to him, still holding the blanket around her. She let herself fall heavily next to him, immediately snuggling up to him. He let out a sigh and opened his eyes. For some reason she decided not to dwell on too much, meeting his blue eyes, almost shining under the moonlight, as he was looking at her with that smirk of his, full of affection, had her blushing, and she was grateful he probably couldn’t see it.

“I can’t get rid of you, huh?”

“Nope!” she replied cheerfully, resting her head on his shoulder. “It’s no use trying.”

Also, she didn’t want him to succeed.

He sighed, and wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her with ease as he arranged his cloak under her so she wouldn’t be directly on the ground. A surprised squeak left her mouth when she was pressed against his hard chest, and that made Trevor chuckle as he unceremoniously dropped her back down onto the ground, though he didn’t remove his arm.

“Everything okay?”

“Everything’s fine,” she groaned, smacking his chest, “you just surprised me.”

She proceeded to arrange her blanket to cover the two of them. The warmth was already making her sleepy.

“You’re… going to stay here?” Trevor asked.

“You like sleeping under trees,” she said with a shrug, settling herself comfortably against him. “We can sleep under a tree.”

Trevor swallowed, and tightened his hold around her, just a little. He appreciated that. He knew, had she wanted to, she could have dragged him back to the wagon. Well, more like he’d have let her, but that didn’t change much.

She sighed in content at his presence, and her eyes started to close. Right. She’d been interrupted before.

Trevor couldn’t go back to sleep so easily, though. He was already a very light sleeper, something you kinda had to learn when you traveled alone, without a place to call your own. Between the bandits, the vampires, the wild animals, the thieves who walked into his room the rare times he got one in an inn, and the jealous husbands he’d encountered once or twice, he hadn’t had much choice.

Sypha’s body against him didn’t help exactly. They’d slept side by side all nights since they had left Dracula’s castle, but they’d never been that close. Right now, like this, it would be so easy to move his hand on her thigh, or to tilt her head towards him so he could steal a kiss. He wouldn’t, ‘f course not. He didn’t want to risk it. What if it scared her off? Worse, what if she didn’t feel that way about him? He didn’t think he could take it.

He cleared his throat, and Sypha’s head snapped up briefly before falling back down.

“Sorry,” he mumbled, but she didn’t reply, already back in the arms of Morpheus.

Groaning, he tried to move her a little, otherwise things would probably get real awkward in the morning. As he did, he grabbed her right arm, and he frowned when he felt the asperity under his hand. He traced the scars left by Dracula’s claws. The cauterization she’d used in the battle had been useful, effective, but that also meant she would keep them. He didn’t like it.

“It doesn’t hurt,” she said softly.

She wanted to sleep, she really did, but Trevor’s fingers moving on her skin were proving to be… distracting.

He dropped his hand, and she almost wanted to protest, but she caught herself last minute. That would be ridiculous.

“You don’t mind ‘em?”

Sypha shrugged.

“Not really. We fought Dracula and we survived. That’s why they’re here.”

Trevor chuckled at that. That girl… that girl was a fighter, and he liked that way more than he should. Still, for him, her scars were a constant reminder that he’d failed to protect her. It could have been a lot worse than that.

“I won’t let that happen to you again,” he said. His serious tone surprised her, and she looked up at him. His eyes were sad.

“You don’t need to do that. You have a lot more than I do.”

Yeah. He did, and getting them hadn’t been pleasant. That was exactly what he didn’t want for her. The pain was one thing, but the look in people’s eyes when they really wanted to hurt you… She could probably take it, he didn’t doubt it, he just— he just didn’t want her to have to go through that.

“I shouldn’t have let that happen either,” he mumbled, eyes dropping back onto her arm.

Normally, Sypha would probably have gotten a bit annoyed. She was very capable of defending herself, thank you very much, and she truly didn’t mind the scars. In fact, she wore them rather proudly. She liked the story those scars said.

But maybe, she realized, Trevor didn’t like the story his said as much. Maybe that was what he was trying to tell her.

“Trevor,” she said, cupping his face in her hand. “We were fighting against Dracula. You helped me, remember? We got out of here because we were together.”

The three of them, really, though Alucard wasn’t there for her to include him.

He hummed vaguely as a reply and glanced away from her, avoiding her eyes, but leaned into her hand, just a little.

“You’re right,” he said.

Didn’t mean he didn’t blame himself for it. But she was right.

“Of course I’m right,” she said cockily, and he grinned. “Also, I don’t need protecting. If you try to stop me from going into a fight because you want to protect me, I’ll kick your ass.”

He let out a laugh at that. Again, she was right. He wouldn’t be able to stop her if he wanted to, and, well, he didn’t want it that much, really. He liked that Sypha was a fighter. But it meant that he wouldn’t be able to protect her, and there were some fucked up things in the world. And that meant she wouldn’t be protected from that either.

That sucked. It did. But maybe, if she didn’t let him shield her from that, he could at least help her afterwards. Treat her wounds. Take care of her.

“Didn’t you wanna sleep? What’re you doing talking so much?”

She let out an offended scoff and elbowed him, but it just made him laugh. She mumbled something with an annoyed tone as she leaned against him once again.

It was only a couple of minutes before she fell asleep.

Trevor was still awake. Sure, he couldn’t protect her at all times, but he did have her back. He wouldn’t let her get harmed again if there was any way for him to prevent it, he promised himself. And it started now, with him watching over her while she slept.

He pulled the blanket up a little to cover her neck more, then settled for the night too, closing his eyes. As always, he’d sleep with one eye open. She was safe with him.

Sypha had never doubted it.

pokes you for ship bingo. maleon, celiakado, trepha, saraleon but specifically post-loi where one of them is an arguably sentient whip and the other one is leon

help 😭

Maleon:

While I know that conceptually Maleon is similar to Isaactor, I just can't be too invested into their relationship pre-betrayal for some reason, especially if the idea is that they used to be super besties before Elisabetha's death. Too simple. I like my Mathias to be more of a toxic hypocritical asshat :P

(and while I haven't read all the fics one can find, I have certainly seen my fair share of ukefied Leon, mostly in fanart. Much like ukefied Alucard or Hector, it annoys me greatly. leon is the top of the relationship don't @ me)

Celiakado:

Not a big fan of the Sorrow games and even less of Celia (although her attempts to awaken Soma will never not be hilarious to me), but I respect your vision, I'm invested in the theory of Arikado being Alucard having a bit of a moral crisis after Dracula's permanent death, and ngl you make some very compelling points about them knowing each other 👀

Trepha:

I like it! Especially when you take into consideration Sypha's backstory and how it would affect her.

I like the idea of them being a gender reversal of ships like Draculisa, Hectaly or Alumaria: the brooding traumatized woman hiding from the world who hurt her, finding happiness in an absolute sunshine of a man who sees her for who she really is. (I never wrote Sypha, but I imagine that she'd be kind of cold and mistrustful before the ending of CV3, the opposite of Mr. Superpower of Teamwork)

They also make for one hell of a battle couple: I know Judgment Sypha was written to be a religious fanatic, and Trevor is very, very whip happy in CoD, so... :P

Saraleon post-LoI:

thank you for reminding me of a post i saw yesterday that proposed that leon would attempt to fuck the vk to feel sara

Well wouldn't this be terribly sad. Sara can communicate with Leon in a very limited way, apparently: if he can "sense her rage" at the sight of Mathias, perhaps he can sense other emotions. I wonder how it would be for Leon to marry another woman to have children with, and feel Sara's love for him constantly at his hip... Could his grief even heal, at that point? And how does Sara see the world, from her perspective, how would she feel to "see" her beloved fiancé having the family she wanted with someone else, knowing that it's not because he has moved on but because he has to continue a dynasty of vampire hunters?

Literally loving a ghost. It's tragic.
