When two souls are meant to be together, nothing can keep them apart.

they need to have a happy ending

olrox did nothing wrong sorry richter

#he never did #he’s immaculate #castlevania olrox #castlevania r*chter #r*chter belmont #castlevania: nocturne #castlevania: nocturne spoilers

[afloralrib]

Castlevania gives me an off form, drunk, sarcastic and cynical man: Have you ever seen a better protagonist?

Nocturne gives me a trained, healthy, quite sincere and open about his feelings man: Where did his personality go?

#i’m so mean to r*chter #but i can’t help it #i don’t hate him or anything #i just don’t really care about him #castlevania r*chter #r*chter belmont #castlevania trevor #trevor belmont #castlevania: nocturne #castlevania: nocturne spoilers #castlevania

“Me and the bad bitch i pulled” meets “I fell for the assassin you sent after me”

#their expressions #i’m dead #castlevania mizrak #castlevania olrox #olrox x mizrak #castlevania: nocturne #castlevania: nocturne spoilers

[afloralrib]

Btw, to anyone saying that the original was better—you can bet that the original was better. You can’t expect to achieve near perfection twice. The real question is, did Nocturne live up to incredibly high expectations? And why did it?

#castlevania: nocturne #castlevania: nocturne spoilers #i guess? #castlevania

It’s funny how easily “I’m not in love with you” turns into “I don’t want you to die, Mizrak,” only to watch him, teary-eyed, as he walks away.

#i don’t know what i’ll do if they don’t get a good ending #they deserve it #castlevania mizrak #castlevania olrox #olrox x mizrak #otp: i’m not in love with you #can we please come up with a ship name for them? #castlevania: nocturne #castlevania: nocturne spoilers

Some thoughts on Nocturne S1

Oh boy. I am gonna talk about this a lot more during the next couple of days. But let me right now quickly just do a vague collection of thoughts I have so far.

I am gonna put them under the cut, because of spoilers.

I love that Maria and Richter are siblings for all intents and purposes

I also love the general theme of found family going through it and how found family in of itself is an act of rebellion

I very much appreciated the random "No Gods, no Masters" graffitti in the background of episode 5.

The character designs for the Black characters are PEAK. I do not think I have ever seen better designs for Black characters in 2D animation. They have the low nose bridge, they have the two colored lips, they have the bright palms. I am in love.

Edouard is my son. I love him so much.

I KNEW ORLOX WAS GAY! I JUST KNEW IT! But also, I am gonna write so much Orlox/Mizrak stuff, you are not gonna believe it.

The theme seems to be that in general: "When in doubt, the character is gay." Which I very much approve of.

I love that they brought in the Otherworld as an entity.

And that we deal with the Old Gods. (Though it being Egyptian gods kinda makes me go: "Anne Rice much?")

Expect a write up on Sekmet, though xD

I just love how freaking GIANT Erzebeth is! (All I wanna do, is see you turn into, a giant woman...)

Edouard being a good and sentient night creature is the stuff I am here for.

Alucard to the last minute rescue, eh?

I feel kinda let down that we never learned more about Drolta.

Also, being the person who wrote essay upon essay about colonialism: I very much enjoy the heavy emphasis on colonialism here.

I love the heavy, heavy emphasis on songs and music in this one. That was a theme I did not expect.

I am looking forward to see Vampire Tera

Also: We got finally a confirmation that Castlevania vampires are created through a baptism of blood.

Did I mention Edouard is my son?!

#pretty much what they said #but i’ll also add maria to my children’s list #castlevania edouard #castlevania maria #maria renard #castlevania mizrak #castlevania olrox #castlevania: nocturne #castlevania: nocturne spoilers

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT.

#help help help #i’m going insane #no one touch olrox #or mizrak #or maria #that’s the only way me and this show can coexist #and THAT FINAL PARALLEL #like i knew it #but still #castlevania olrox #castlevania mizrak #castlevania maria #maria renard #castlevania: nocturne
