How Nocturne uses Music
Tumblr media
Alright, one thing I found endlessly fascinating in Nocturne is how it uses music. Honestly, to me that is one of the biggest differences to the original show, that had a really great soundtrack but never used any diagetic music at all.
In comes Nocturne in which every episode involves at least one scene of people singing. Most of the time Edouard (and yes, I will go through the songs he is doing - admittedly I am not that well versed in opera stuff, but a friend is), but there are also two other instances: The slave songs in Haiti and the Revolutionary songs sung in the tavern.
And you have no fucking clue how important this is. Especially because it builds up one theme throughout it: Singing as a form of resistance. Which it basically is within all of the scenes.
Songs were always used in rebellion and revolution to tie people together. Music is both an emotional outlet, but also something that builds a strong sense of community. (I am not even kidding here: Singing together with people can at times release oxytocin. You know, the same stuff that gets released during sex. It helps you build a relationship with people and build trust with them.)
There is a reason why so many authoritarian regimes forbade a lot of songs, while pushing for their own. Because this stuff is fucking powerful.
And I just love, love, love how the show is playing with that. Especially with Edouard inspiring the other night creatures through music! OMG! This is perfection!

Tumblr media
You had died to one of the vampires living in the chateau and were, of course, thrown into the pile of dead bodies to be turned into a night creature.
☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪
The doors of the machine from hell slowly opened with a loud hiss. Steam enveloped your body as you stepped out from the machine forsaken by (the) god(s).
The steam gradually let up, your silhouette became more and more visible. You had an overall human looking body, with the exception of 2 pairs of arms, 4 eyes, 6 horns all differing in sizes, and rosy pink colored skin that was more on the deep red side than pink yet it was still pink. Your eyes glimmered a bright red, and a pair of white wings sat upon your back. You had long, maroon hair that cascaded down your back. It was silky and straight. Your mouth was filled with sharp, white teeth. Your torso was completely exposed; the only clothes you had on was a white loin cloth that did it’s job.
As you stepped out, you stayed silent. You were confused and unaware of what and where you were. Suddenly words rang in your ears, and you knew that you must obey.
“Guard the cell of the night creature who’s eyes shine like sapphires,” the Abbot commanded.
You growled as a way to signal that you understood.
“Good. Now go,” the Abbot ordered.
☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪☆♪
As you approached the cell you were meant to guard, angelic singing pierced your ears.
As a high note was sung, your eyes widened.
“Why am I guarding this cell?” You thought to yourself.
You sat down next to the cell and looked at the night creature who was in it. Your jaw dropped. He was the most beautiful thing you have ever seen. His wavy, long hair that was almost as long as yours gently fell down his back and shoulders. Massive wings that resembled a bat emerged from his back. Horns protruded from his face and head. A gold streak on his lips, and gold, sharp, fingernails adorned the two hands that covered his face as if he was hiding himself. His eyes pierced through you. The blue encompassing your vision. You could only focus on those beautiful eyes. Those sweet eyes. Those eyes that glowed.
Edouard had stopped singing a while back, he was now looking at you. You didn’t notice, you were too busy staring at him.
“Hello?” He spoke.
You blushed in embarrassment.
“Ah- sorry.” You managed to choke out.
Embarrassing yourself in front of such a beautiful man/night creature was not on your bucket list.
You sit down, keeping watch and “guarding” his cell but in reality you were just watching him and only looking away when he glanced at you.
You began to get more self conscious, and shy. Your loin cloth suddenly felt like it didn’t cover enough. You wish your long hair was longer to completely enshroud your body so that he wouldn’t see it.
Edouard noticed this and chuckled. You didn’t seem to be like the other night creatures. You still had some humanity left in you. He found it cute that you were so shy. So adorable. So breedable. Wait, what? Did he just think that? Edouard blushed as his own thought, embarrassed by it just as much as you were embarrassed by your little amount of clothing.
“You seem cold, baby.” He played it cool.
“Would you like to join me in my cell?” He smiled sweetly.
Your eyes widened at the offer. How could you decline? You looked around you with haste, scanning for any other night creatures. You then quickly made your way into his cell.
As soon as you entered it, he rushed towards you and held you close. You flinched, surprised by the unexpected display of affection.
"Please forgive me... I can't control myself.." Edouard whispered lustfully in your ear.
Your breath hitched when you felt something hard against your thigh. You looked down. Pure surprise was the only thing you felt.
A large dick about 9 inches long and 2 inches in diameter was up against your thigh. It only made sense the Edouard was so big due to the fact that he was around 7-8 feet tall.
As you looked down at his hard sexual organ, you began to blush. Yearning and want settled in your brain, taking over your senses. Corrupting them.
You shyly gazed back up at Edouard, a heavy blush covering your face. Your eyes glimmered red as you spoke.
“I don’t even know your name, and yet… I long for you.” You uttered, not knowing where the sudden boldness came from.
He pushed you to the stone wall of the cell, still hugging you.
“It’s Edouard.” He seductively whispered in your ear.
Edouard quickly picked you up, so you were the same height as him. You wrapped your legs around his waist for stability. One pair of arms wrapped around his neck, and the other pair was flush against the wall.
He moved his face from the crook of your neck to in front of your face, just inches away.
As he closed the distance between your lips and his, he muttered something.
“So pretty like this.”
You two began to make out intensely. His tongue pushed against yours, creating swirls and spins together. His hands crept up to your chest, his thumb brushing against one of your nipples. His other hand rested on your hip.
As he broke the kiss, you panted heavily. Even in your human life, you had never kissed someone like that before. Your cock was hard, and leaked against the confines of the loincloth.
Edouard took notice of this and chuckled.
“I have a feeling you’re enjoying this.”
You nodded. Your face was painted with a heavy blush. All you wanted was him.
He leaned back in and kissed your neck. His soft kisses trailed down to your chest. One hand played with one nipple, while he sucked on the other. His tongue swirled around the now hardened bud causing your back to arch in pleasure. A bead of precum leaked from your still clothed dick.
“Ahn!~” You moaned.
You had never felt anything like this. The back of your head gently hit the stone wall. Whimpers and gasps spilled from your mouth like hot lava from a volcano.
He retreated his head away from your chest and back up so that he was at eye level to you. He was panting just slightly.
“I’ve never wanted someone this badly.” His hot breath puffed onto your face.
Edouard then put you down so that you were standing.
“Can you turn around and lean against the wall for me, baby?”
You turned around, excited as to what would happen.
When you leaned against the wall, Edouard grasped your hips and pulled them out. He proceeded to undo your loincloth. Your hard cock sprang out, precum dribbling down the shaft.
Edouard kneeled down, still behind you and spread your ass cheeks. Your hole fluttered for him.
“My nails are too sharp to finger you, love. I hope you can enjoy what I’m about to do as a replacement.” He spoke.
Your face turned bright red in embarrassment. The expression of shame was wiped off your face and replaced with one of pleasure.
“Fuck!” You gasped.
His tongue swirled against your hole and occasionally pushed in. He was eating you out like you were a 5 star meal. A soft groan escaped his throat as he thrusted his tongue in and out of your hole.
Loud moans flew out of you and filled the cell, even roaming down the halls to the other night creatures.
Edouard stopped rimming you, and quickly smacked him palm over your mouth.
“Please be quiet, dear. You wouldn’t want to get caught, would you?”
He breathed onto your neck before sinking his fangs into you and biting down, drawing blood.
“Mmphh!~” You screamed against his palm.
Your dick twitched from the intimate pain. Another bead of precum appeared on the tip.
He soothed over the bite with his tongue, lapping up the blood. His arms snaked around your waist, holding you close to him as he continued to lick the bite.
Once he was done, you were trembling mess. You wanted him so badly. Wanted him inside of you.
“Would you like to continue?” Edouard asked, wanting to make sure you still wanted this.
You nodded vigorously, wanting him more than anything.
He turned you around and picked you up so that your pretty chest was flush against his own defined pecs. You wrapped both sets of arms around him and your legs followed suit. He held you with one arm as he guided his large cock to your hole. He slowly sunk you onto it; the delicious burn singed through you. A hiss of pleasure and pain erupted from your plump lips.
“Shhh… It’s okay, baby.. it’ll feel good really soon.” Edouard cooed.
Eventually, he bottomed out. Edouard held you there, feeling your tightness get used to his girth.
Soon enough, you signaled for him to move and he obeyed. He slowly bounced you up and down on his shaft. You let out a soft moan of ecstasy.
As If overcome by something, you gained enough confidence to pull his face into a sloppy and passionate make out session as he continued to fuck you. Your tongues danced while your bodies moved in sync for each other.
He adjusted the angle just a bit, and hit your prostate dead on. Your eyes went wide and mouth fell slack. No noise came out of you. You trembled. He continued to pound into that spot. Your eyes rolled back as you tried to stifle your moans.
“G- gonna cum!” You whisper yelled.
Edouard grunted before responding.
“Me too, my love..”
He sped up, wanting you to feel even better. You cried out in bliss as you came all over his and your abdomen. He still pounded into you after you came, chasing his own release. He placed one hand against the back of your head and brought you towards him for another lustful, heavy kiss. As you kissed, there was a hint of sweetness. Suddenly, a low growl emitted from his throat as he came. He stopped moving you and came inside of you, filling you to the brim. Cum leaked from your hole, even though he was still inside. He slowly pulled out; his cum dripped from your gaping hole, down your thighs and legs.
He still held you close as he sat down with you. He pulled you even closer to him.
“You’re so beautiful.” Edouard smiled happily at you.
He stroked your head lovingly as you fell asleep next to him.
(I didn’t know night creatures could sleep, but they do now.)
“Goodnight, baby.”

I think one of the things I appreciated the most about Nocturne was the protagonism on the Haitian Revolution.
This was a revolution that didn't just change Haiti, it changed the world. This was the revolution that would make the first black state. The first slaveless state. That would make every slave nation tremble with fear, from Europe To America to Asia to Oceania to Africa. It was what was never meant to happen, but did.
It's the nation that would defeat Napoleon and the British marine. Nobody could take down Haiti. You know why Napoleon went to colonize Europe? Haiti. That's why. He couldn't take down Haiti. Couldn't make it french territory again. So, he turned towards Europe.
We are talking about an undefeated nation.
AND! AND! A largely Vodu nation!
I was SO happy to see Vodu be portrayed as the wonderful religion it is, sacred and divinely intertwined with the Haitian revolution. The revolution was noted to start with Vodu chants and ritual.
White people refused to understand the link between the two worlds that could bring ancestors to meet their descendants. They created zombies as a horror trope. They made vodu dolls as a horror gimmick. They took a sacred religion and reduced it and vilanized it.
And I'm so happy to see it being positively portrayed in such a famous media. Vodu practicioners have already made media of the like. But I was positively surprised with what Nocturne had to present to us.
Of course, the knowledge that the french revolution was incomplete, that it was NOT FOR EVERYONE, is then again, something I really appreciate as a history student and a person. The french revolution killed mostly peasent and established the bourgeoisie, but did it end the Noir Code? No. Did it establish women's and black people's suffrage? No. Did it make a agrarian reform? No. Was it for the people? It had it's importance. But it was, at the very least, not for all the people.
And let's not forget that the french revolution's main intellectual current would birth biological racism, an unscientific current that claimed evidence of "different sized skulls" for example to prove humans possessed different races based on phenotypes.
Last, but certainly not least: it is absurd to see people claim that "all indigenous people have been killed". Acknowledging multi-ethnic indigenous genocide HAS to go along with the respect that there STILL are indigenous people and they continue their fight for their lives and land.
You know who the show demonstrates as such? Olrox.
While I don't appreciate the show claiming "all of his people were slaughtered" as that is historically inaccurate, I was most happy to see an Aztec vampire present and very alive, connected to his culture, protagonizing the show. The Nahua are still very much alive and kicking and I appreciated that the show took that into account.
And Annette! Sweet Annette being one of the leads makes me most joyful. I can't stand idiots that claim her presence.on France was """historically innacurate""", check again, dumbasses, free black people were all over France (especially the children of black Caribbean elites, for example, from Haiti back then known as Saint-Domingue, which did not possess universities and would sent their children to study in Europe.)
Anyway. To see her star as one of the leads made me so incredibly happy. She's a wonderful character and I appreciate how they let Annette be unapologetic and direct, especially during a moment between revolutions were she was very aware the french revolution didn't mean shit to her people.
But she was so lovely and to see her afro-caribean religion present AND source of her power made me emotional more than a few times.
Castlevania Nocturne really did hit this nail on the head.
Anyways. To make sure I give people answers to "but where's the evidence to x thing you said?" Here are my sources:

The Haitian Revolution
Tumblr media
Yeah, okay. I guess to properly do the history thing, I also have to talk about the Haitian Revolution, don't I? Given that it is so important for the backstory of both Annette and Edouard.
Why didn't I do that so far? Because the Haitian Revolution is super hard to talk about because of the sources. A bit issue is that for a good part of it we only have French sources, that are not always the most... neutral. Because a lot of the rebelling slaves had never learned to write. As such, we actually do not know a lot about the side of the rebels until some Free Blacks started to take their side and lead the rebellion.
But I know a bit.
So, let me explain what I know.
Haiti (St. Domingue specifically, the French side of the island) was build exclusively on slave work. There were plantation there for indigo, sugar and coffee for the most part. And those plantation were very important for the French economy. And of course it was slaves working those plantations.
On the island there was a three class system (though if we are honest, it was a four class system).
Whites, who were free people and citizens of France. (Though in truth there was a difference between the plantation owning whites and those whites, who were not of the owning class.)
Free Black people. What differed in Haiti from the US for example is that it happened quite often that children of rape (white owners on Black slaves) would be freed and even adopted as children. While not considered citizens, they could own things, including their own plantations. (Yes, there were quite a few of these that owned slaves.)
Slaves, who outnumbered all other people on the island somewhere between seven to one and ten to one.
Now, most slaves did not survive the first three years after getting to the island. Many died in fact in their first year, because the working conditions were so harsh, they often did not receive food, were severely punished (through it receiving infections and such), and of course there was just the general issue of sicknesses.
There were people rebelling a long while and from what we know (again, there is so little in terms of sources) there were some escaped slaves living in the mountains and at times using guirella tactics. But there was not quite the move for a widespread rebellion starting...
That was until the French Revolution started. Once more the gentle reminder: The French Revolution took a long while to brew and originally was not a violent revolution, it only became violent in response to the violent oppression of it. Now, the people on St. Domingue were instructed not to talk about the Revolution, because some folks rightly assumed that it might give people ideas. Especially as among the Revolutionaries there was a big discussion about the abolition of slavery.
But in the end... Well, it did not work out and the freed slaves banded together for a proper uprising in 1791.
It is this uprising that we see in Nocturne. I have seen some people being very shocked in the human on human violence we see there, because folks are really whimpy when it comes to that. So, a little explanation: Originally (in the 1791) uprising the slave uprising was once again not very violent. Almost everyone who got killed was connected to immense abuses of slaves. The rebels tried to spare everyone who treated their slaves kindly. As such within that first uprising only 400 whites got killed, compared to 4000 Black people, as the French were much better armed.
Still, the rebels managed to capture part of the island.
It should be noted: This is probably around the time when Annette and Edouard left. They captured some plantation, and freed quite a few more slaves.
There would follow quite a bit of back and forth then. Especially between Haiti and the French Republic. And I would not be surprised if we were to see that in the coming season(s).
Mostly, because the Revolitionaries went back and forth between whether Free Black people could be citizens who got to vote or not. Making the Free Blacks, who originally were against the revolution, more and more take the side of the rebels.
And yes, it would get more and more violent. Because France and then later Britain, too (who did not agree with France on many things - but on saving slavery) threw thousands upon thousand of soldiers in fighting down the revolution with extreme violence, leading the Haitian Revolutionaries to answer this violence with their own violence.
But for the love of God, do not go there and be like: "Ugh, violence. Violence bad." Like, fuck that. I said that about Isaac before as well: Slaves freeing themselves have the right to use whatever violence necessary for that.

Heya! Request from @legendaryflowercheesecake
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Night Creature!Edouard x Night Creature!Male Reader PT. 2!!
Warnings: NSFW because of his dream, male!reader, teratophilia, Soft Edouard, OOC (whoops), jealous!reader, bottom!male!reader.
PT. 1!!
Tumblr media
Soft breathing puffed onto your left ear. You were sitting in Edouard’s lap, sleeping. You took comfort in his large frame enveloping you to seemingly protect you from the dangers of the world. You slept peacefully. Edouard smiled softly, relishing in the moment. Soaking up the feelings that he felt. His eye’s began to close as he brought one of his arms to caress your back lovingly.
“Sleep well..” Edouard mumbled.
He began to drift to sleep. A dream popped into his brain. A happy dream. A good dream. He dreamt of being free with you in his arms. Of him kissing you until you couldn’t breathe. Of him holding you close and whispering sweet nothings into your ear. Of him kissing you, and gently making love to you.
He dreamt of him pinning you to a mattress so that you were comfortable. He would put your legs over his shoulders and press his forehead to yours. The hands covering his eyes would be open. His blue, piercing gaze would wash over your sight like the clear, blue ocean would to sand. He would stroke your cock to the rhythm of his thrusts. A composer to your music made up of your moans. The lewd, slick noises your hole would create. The sounds of your sharp nails against his back. He would make a symphony out of you that you would wish to experience eternally. He would make you orgasm over and over, making you feel pleasure almost unimaginable. He wanted nothing more than that.
CLANK!
Edouard’s eyes shot open and so did yours. You quickly looked behind you and got off of his lap. The woman behind the metal bars of the cell was just as surprised as both of you were.
The woman had black locks that had metal jewelry in them. Her skin was dark and beautiful. She was wearing a light mustard vest with a white, long sleeve shirt underneath. A thick, red belt was situated at her waist. The belt had accents of sky blue, black, and yellow. She had black, comfortable looking pants on that made you almost jealous of her due to you only wearing a loincloth.
“Annette!” Edouard leaped forward.
“So he knows her.” You thought.
Annette looked at you and then back at Edouard.
“Who or what is that?” Annette asked.
Edouard stepped towards you and picked you up with ease, carrying you bridal style. You blushed softly.
“This is M/N.” Edouard introduced you.
“Oh.” She replied, sounding almost hurt.
You grumbled ever so slightly at Annette. You just found out who she is, and you already don’t exactly like her.
Suddenly, a vampire and a few night creatures began to chase after Annette. They were too busy with her to realize that you and Edouard were both in the same cell. You hugged Edouard deeply.
“Never let me go.” You mumbled.
“Of course, sweetheart.”
Tumblr media
Hope you enjoyed! I got kinda lazy with this one. 😭😭😭
