This is something that exists and is official, not fanmade

Put here your obvious jokes

Reply: the comments are already brilliant, but I can’t get over how this is literally SM64′s soundfont. They really used one of the most recognizable MIDI instrument in videogame history for their cover of one of the most recognizable songs in anime history. It’s like they were begging for jokes to be made.

Out of curiosity and also guilt over my own coffee intake. I wanna ask:

Now I'm not talking about when you're studying and so you drink 3x the usual amount or something like that. This isn't me asking what your record is. I'm talking about the most basic, average day, how many coffees you drink?

#either 1 or 2 #it's mandatory in the morning #maybe one in the middle of the morning

Top 10 Dracula designs:

(This is my opinion, but you can change according to you)

10) Dracula X

This was a failed attempt to design Dracula like a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure art style.

9) Dracula X Chronicles

Not a fan of this, but I like that his robe design was recycled form Curse of Darkness.

8) Bloodlines

Scary but Dracula looks pretty weird, especially his face expression.

7) Castlevania Chronicles

This absolutely reminds me of Mathias and his robes makes him more like an evil sorcerer.

6) Order of Ecclesia

Just like the previous one, it reminds me of an sorcerer then a vampire lord that almost wears Japanese traditional kimono.

5) Castlevania

Original one. Scary, blood thirsty count that already gives me vibe of Bram Stoker's novel.

4) Portrait of Ruin

Another design that reminds me of Bram Stoker's novel. It was meant to look like Dracula played by Bela Lugosi.

3) Rondo of Blood

I don't know why but is like a young adult version of himself, referring to the pop-culture version.

2) Symphony of the Night

Don't get me wrong. I love SotN Dracula which is iconic and should be superior than the other designs, but is something that is a personal choise.

1) Curse of Darkness

This is peack of Dracula's designs! He really looks both elegant and intimidating at the same time. I had to admit that this is actually my favorite.

#castlevania #the only pick i disagree with is por #he looks so trashy lmao #but yeah sotn and cod are unparalleled <3 #the sotn design is more elegant but the cod one looks more like an evil sorcerer #(and those spiked wings <3) #i also have a soft spot for how slimy he looks in ooe

(for the purposes of this poll, there is no monkey's paw situation: the chore you pick stays the same level of difficulty/grossness/etc. as it normally is for you, and you only have to do it as often as you want to. the chores you don't pick are magically done for you exactly the way you'd want them to be, just with zero effort on your part.)

Sonic Frontiers

One Way Dream

#sonic the hedgehog #sonic music #sonic the hedgehog music #sonic frontiers #music of the day #they really got nathan sharp for this the absolute madlads #i don't listen to this song enough #it's really good and something about it reminds me of the late 2000s #and it's heartwarming how it comes across as a message from sonic team #“they said we'd break they said we'd lose” #“but here we are what else is new?”

So when Shinji mopes around and loses all will to live he's a cringy crybaby

When Guts does pretty much the same thing in the latest chapters he's a tragic figure (which he is of course)

(hah, funnily enough, the quote at the very beginning of the page is about shitting on Shinji)

And not to make it all about NFCV, but I need to put here whay they say about it because it really sums it all:

Hector and Isaac. Isaac is sharp-witted, hypercompetent, and a badass fighter, so despite him being openly evil and seeking to wipe out humanity, he receives a lot of audience praise and sympathy. Hector, on the other hand, is equally sympathetic. As of Season 3, however, Isaac only grows in competence and fandom praise, whereas Hector is manipulated and brutally enslaved by Lenore, with many fans and critics alike dismissing him as incompetent and stupid. Similarly, Lenore and Hector receive this. Lenore is a demure woman who is threatening and competent, effortlessly beating him in a Curb-Stomp Battle fight and stringing him along in her plans. Due to this coolness, many called her a highlight of the season and disliked Hector. This is despite her being a cruel and manipulative woman who openly states she intends to sexually abuse him, though we don't know if she actually went through with it.

(funny to me how this example hasn't been updated since S3. I'm sure they would have sucked Isaac's dick even more. "hypercompetent" call him gary stu because that's what he is)

The openly evil characters get sympathy and praise only because they're "badass fighters" and "competent", while the more morally grey dude, unfairly victimized, is hated for being "incompetent and stupid" - and as I've complained about, it's the reason they briefly "fixed" Hector in S4 by making him all cunning and backstabby even if it was painfully OOC.

And this is what really makes the difference, doesn't it? This sort of shallow coolness that boils down to pure physical strength.

Guts and Shinji both go through hell. They are abused, victimized, ostracized, have serious breakdowns, and yes, they do nearly unforgivable acts because of it - including, in both cases, molesting a girl. But Guts is also a hella cool dude with a sword that can cut down dragons and usually keeps either a cool façade or shows badass destructive rage, which makes the rare moments when he cries hit harder, while Shinji is a much more realistic depiction of a depressed 14 yo teen, and that's not cool to watch I guess. That's not "interesting". He hasn't earned the right to cry and have panic attacks, he hasn't earned the right to be felt sorry for, because well, if you cry too much, no one cares anymore.

I don't want to put either character down. I love Guts because he's fleshed out and relatable beyond his over-the-top badassery, but I also think Shinji is painfully well written, because he is meant to be a very uncomfortable look in the mirror. And I feel the need to defend him, because complaining that Shinji is "a whiny bitch" and he should be "cooler" is... pretty much thinking like Gendo, in a way. You're missing the point of the whole story. It's like saying Bojack Horseman sucks because the protagonist is a jerk who never learns his lesson lol.

Ah yes, it's Draactor time :)

“It seems that you held him dear to heart. Is that right?”

“Ah, Count Dracula? Yes, in a sense. And I thought he held me to heart as well.”

“Really?”

“He was quite proud of me. He had nothing but praise for my work. At first, I only lived for those kind words. But at some point, his admiration began to feel like a chain around my neck.”

Hector didn’t know what to think.

It was clear as day that Lord Dracula held him in high regard. Isaac, who by that point could barely keep himself upright, was always a hair’s breadth from reaching their Lord’s expectations. He was strict, cutting in his criticism, knowing and expressing that Isaac could always do better. The student has surpassed his teacher, he had commented one time, and for a few days, Hector was careful to not walk too loudly by Isaac’s locked door, and not listen too closely to the sounds coming from behind it.

The Lord’s admiration was reserved for Hector and Hector only.

His sincere smiles and hands lingering on shoulders were all for Hector.

The vampire’s fangs had long left a collar of scars around his throat; no matter how quickly he healed them, they pulled each time he turned his head, faint to the eye but always felt on his skin. Isaac’s marks no longer looked like an impressive badge of honor.

Hector was different. He was special, one of a kind, the most satisfying student, the purest expression of Hell’s power in a human.

And Hector should have been in seventh heaven. What he could only pray for as a child, he was being showered with at long last. It was the sole reason he would still find the strength to get out of his bed and squeeze himself dry for every last drop of life: the earnest, earned approval from the one being who took him under his wing.

He should have been – but Isaac would drag him back on the ground, and keep him there under the burden of his envy.

Lord Dracula’s compliments had acquired a bittersweet taste. Hector couldn’t help but tense every time, muscles ready in anticipation, because the more appreciation the Lord openly showed for Hector’s work, the more resentment he’d brew in Isaac’s heart, as if the Lord amused himself by pitting them against each other. Then he’d swat away those horrible thoughts, because their Lord only wanted the best for them, and as Generals they had a standard to meet. It just so happened that Hector had become the standard.

Was that really enough reason for Isaac to grow cold towards his friend?

He understood very quickly that when Isaac was hurting, Hector had to bear the brunt of his pain, whether he was willing or not: it was his fault that Dracula deemed him disappointing, it was his fault that he dared to humiliate him, and he had to do something about it, since he was so talented.

They had settled into yet another routine, comforting and uncomfortable. Isaac started to demand more and more of him, to make things fair. And Hector gave more and more of himself, fed Isaac’s ever-growing need – for company, for satisfaction, for revenge, and maybe for Hector himself.

He laid there, knowing that being used was the fair price for being loved, and wondered if he’d ever see Isaac smile for him again. The castle looked dimmer without it. The friendly boy he once knew was hiding behind the acrimonious man whose frigid gaze tore through him: Hector only needed to draw him out, show him that there was still place for him.

But the most stubborn part of him – the part that in his mind looked like his child self, thin and dirty and with skin covered in a different kind of bruises and always peering from doors – dug his feet in, and insisted that he had the right to hoard Lord Dracula’s affection for himself, because he had earned it.

Hector was able to withstand his Lord’s insisting touch, that slid off him like cold grease poured down his back, for the chance of hearing his words that tasted like salvation for all the sins he had committed, and clutching them to his chest.

They nearly made the sickness inside him worth it.

Even though, a few times, Hector had thought that Lord Dracula could spare some mercy for Isaac’s best efforts, he was sure that the Lord would have no reason to repeat him those things if he didn’t mean them.

Those convictions dissipated like smoke in the wind.

pissing each other off as foreplay

So I made a joke about Benedict creating his boar devil for NSFW reasons, and

Bestie @beevean wanted me to post it because apparently I Get Him (Isaac) 😔

Lenector fans when you ask them why they find a relationship between a rapist and her beaten-down victim titillating

#anti netflixvania #yeah that's. that's pretty much what they say #we're re-reading das mervin's sporking of the twilight series and it's incredible how much influence she had on 16 yo me #when it comes to criticizing stories #(and yes it's also why i can't help but comparing nfcv with twilight lol)

[beevean]

I’m also interested hearing what exactly the ship is that you based your answer on, if you’d like to share!

(This was meant to be fandom specific but doesn’t have to be. Be free!)

#i tend to go for ships that oscillate between “not very common” and “rare” #the rarer the ship the more control i have <3 #(then it's only a matter of manipulating the besties into joining me) #i feel very arrogant in this lol but i can't help it #there are some exceptions though #as prev said baroryuu became a very popular ship after the release of gaa chronicles #i'm happy with it because i was honestly baffled back when ziekcest was gaining more fics than baroryuu lmao

Sonic Foundations

Personally, I'd use Frontiers, Unleashed, and Adventure 1 as a main foundation. But my main focus would be creating a solid, versatile, fresh, and stable gameplay engine that could be used for the next five or ten platformers going forward.

#sonic the hedgehog #i would want to see more 3d platforming and broader levels to explore #sonic adventure 1 heroes and some levels in generations are the only ones close to what i have in mind #so i voted heroes/shth #i really enjoy the level design of heroes #and shth has the beginning of a similar idea in how you go through different routes based on the mission you take
