Just finished Castlevania:Nocturne ( I know I’m behind on the hype but what can you do.) and I liked it, just not as much as OG Castlevania.
This is coming from someone who had never even heard of the games until I watched the series.
I liked Richter, but he did Trevor’s thing but worse. I felt more for Trevor and felt like he was a character that could actually exist. Richter felt a little too Shounen protagonist.
No emotional connection for Maria for me, but I loved Sypha. I feel like they’re pretty similar characters but again, Sypha felt more real.
Loved Annette, maybe a little annoying at times when it came to her lineage, but I see why she is the way she is.
Edouard is absolutely amazing I love him. Wish we had more of him but I am incredibly interested in seeing how a Night Creature can remember how it is to be human. His songs really were the best part of the show.
Olrox needed more screen time. I love our dragon vampire boy who pretended not to care but really did. (Why did he help Belmont &co?)
And we love the anti-church themes throughout. It gives the Church in Gresit vibes. When the bishop was eaten because god wasn’t in his church.
Maybe if the inciting incident was better I’d like it more. I felt a lot for Dracula and understood his cause but feel nothing or Erzebet and her cause.
And of course, my favorite character from the OG series showed up. Alucard.

annette crushing on you
pairing: annette fantine dominic x gn!reader
tags: wholesome fluff, implied academy phase
whether annette realizes or not, she can't stop talking about you
she always finds a way to mention your name and shift the topic to you
when she's out with mercedes shopping, she'll notice a cute little charm and suddenly you're on her mind
"this one looks cute! i wonder if y/n would like it…"
or when she's training with her classmates, she'll recall how similar your fighting style is to theirs
"you know, y/n always holds their sword like this as well!"
even when there is nothing that could remind her of you, annette still can't get her mind of you
"i wish y/n was here right now. i'm sure they'd enjoy this too…"
all of annette's friends have picked up on her crush on you, yet they aren't aware if annette herself has realized yet how much she likes you…
