OLROX X MALE READER

female or she/her presenting people please DNI

Any blogs that ignore this will be blocked explanation why here

I can’t stop imagining Olrox from Castlevania: Nocturne x male reader angst so here

He was a peacemaker one that never respond nor resorted to violence he was kind to everyone around him always having his door open to anyone brother’s by blood or not anyone at all

He was patient and quiet even though he never resorted to violence he was not weak no on the contrary his believes where strong and he had fought for his and other peoples land no matter how hard the fight was he would always be there

that determination had ended up catching one of the eye of a certain Aztec vampire

Who could someone so quiet be so passionate about fighting for his people even going so far as to find a way not to hurt them or others, making deals, agreement’s and finding middle ground that work out for both sides, he had to see this man for himself

So one day he went to meet him himself and he hadn’t expected what roses from the situation, a night of laughter and meaningful conversations the man’s warmth was like a disease one that had even affected the manipulative Aztec vampire simply because it was genuine it was kind it was warm and it felt so much like home

Years pass and the man is not as strong as he once was but still as passionate, he had still kept his door open to anyone, maybe that’s what aloud Olrox to because so close with him, maybe- no Olrox definitely took advantage of that fact he as he stood beside him throughout the years trying to brake him but nothing ever seemed to work he had tried to use his sliver tongue and his fake soft touch to brake him and his believes down but it paled in comparison to the man’s loyalty to his believes

“We all live on this earth, we’re pout here as a race for a reason”

Olrox had never understood why or even how the man had gotten to this conclusion but slowly bit by bit it didn’t matter he just wanted to be near him close to him

Slowly Olrox had developed feelings for him but had never told him, his pride being to high, but no matter how much he tried to deny it everyone knew they saw the way his eyes soften as the sight of the man playing and taking care of the orphans of the tribe, he might have indulged in helping out to indulge his desire to speed more time with the man, maybe he did not realize how Much he was indulging himself in as the orphans started calling him father, he did not stop them no he couldn’t see the face’s of those children being crushed as he told them to stop, so he never did.

Who knows maybe the time he spent with the man of his dreams had made him go soft but he didn’t care not anymore he would spend every waking minute with his man if he could, that’s why that’s why he had to tell him eventually

So he did just that

And he never regretted anything after

No he never regretted anything after, not The moment’s of endless bliss or the passionate love making, MOTHER FUCKING LOVE MAKING, he couldn’t even call it sex because everything everything with that man was deep was beautiful and was free

The life they lived together was a now oddly blurred mix of happiness, endless happiness,

oh how he missed that

He misses everything, he misses waking up with someone cuddling him in bed, he missed someone walking with him at the darkest depths of night, he missed someone hushing him when he would try to talk over the tribe’s elder’s, he missed someone braiding his hair and helping him put on his earrings, he missed the soft touches and the quiet morning’s, he missed making bad jokes that would inevitably get him a hit on the head

He missed his love

He should have never let him go on that boat he should have forced him to retire his title of peacemaker and even after all of that he should have turned him but he didn’t

MOTHER

FUCKING

DIDN’T

He trusted his lover’s words, he shouldn’t have, if he didn’t then maybe just maybe he wouldn’t be standing in front of the empty grave plot where his lover’s body was supposed to be held, they couldn’t even find a body, it was to broken to mangled it was too burnt and too gruesome to even be called a body it was past a corpse at that point,

but even after knowing all of that he fought with the captain’s of the ship to go back and retrieve it he wanted to hold him close one last time just one last time but the captain had said no so he slaughtered him and everyone else on the ship

because why, why should they get to live why should they’re family’s get closure why should those body’s get to be buried while his lover’s body is in an unusual place that will because his unmarked gave?!

His anger took a hold of him and he didn’t hold back, he didn’t want to Olrox hated humans for what they did, for taking away their one saving grace in his eyes so he wanted to take everything back from them

Hello friend! Hmm fine au you've got there...

Man I'm just. Imagining. Richer. Because he's a lil kid right. Small lil guy. You know what kids are known for? Getting sick.

Like can you imagine Orlox having to not only deal with general Richie sass but then also cranky feverish weak Richie sass?

And also just. The general panic. Orlox is going to go through. Because it's been a hot minute since he's had to deal with real mortal life, right? Or maybe it'll bring back some prior memories from his lover, when he fell ill, and is just further resolved to keep this new father-son relationship oh so cherished?

Anyway I. Also have the brainrot.

(Young Richter gets captured by Olrox as revenge: a bittersweet found family AU introduction post)

Omg you are so cruel🤭🤭 btw I’M BACK!

Olrox, for all his life experience, didn’t notice something was off at first. It was just coughing, but Richter had a knack for exherting himself so he didn’t give it much thought.

What did alarm him, was the lack of energy that followed. The usually rowdy boy that got up to trouble faster than the vampire blinked, could now barely muster enough strength to eat a meal he’d normally almost inhale. Olrox stood from the table and circled it, bringing the back of his palm to Richie’s head and his fear was confirmed upon feeling the burning skin. Belmont had a fever.

“Richter? Are you sick?” The question was retorical of course. He couldn’t understand why the kid didn’t alert him.

“N-no? I’m fine…just tired.” Richie slurred in response, and Olrox scooped him into his arms. Right, ten years olds are not exactly famous for knowing what’s good for them.

Outwardly, the Aztec had been as calm as a lake on a clear day, but inwardly, it was all panic. He kept it together to avoid scaring the child, but it’s been more than two centuries since he had to deal with sicknesses himself or take care of someone who fell ill. He called for the maid, tasking her with getting a doctor while he tucked Belmont into bed. Surprisingly, he was already asleep, the fever knocking out whatever energy he had left.

The doctor arrived after a torturous half hour, but luckily the fever wasn’t too serious. Little Richter was prescribed medicine and advised to drink tea with special herbs, as well as get a lot of rest.

When Belmont awoke, he was delusional, one eyes still closed, and barely processing what was going on around him. He saw Olrox sit next to the bed, reading a book but clearly not focused on it.

“D-dad…?” Richter muttered, missing the way vampire’s eyes widened to the size of dinner plates at the title, and he was immediately at the boy’s side, cupping his face.

“What is it, my son?” He asked ever so softly.

“My head…I can’t think.”

“It’s the chills, darling. It’ll pass, but we can quicken the process if you drink an antipyretic. Can you sit up?”

“Is it gross?”

“It’s just medicine, honey.”

“I don’t want it.” Belmont tried to roll away, but didn’t have enough strength to do so and instead stayed pouting on his back.

Olrox sighed. Of course Richter would keep his sass even in a dire situation, and it certainly didn’t help that the vampire couldn’t be harsh with him, his illness considered, so he gently picked Richer and sat him against the bed-frame, fetching a spoon.

Richter crossed this arms. “You didn’t respond to my—” He coughed. “—Question..”

Olrox prepared himself for the oncoming tantrum. “Most likely? Yes, it’s gross.”

Richter frowned. “Then I’m not taking it.”

“Honey, you won’t feel better on sleep alone.”

“Then I die.”

That line ran a chill down his spine, eliciting unpleasant images.

“Richter,” He pinned the boy with a cold gaze. “I’m not asking you.”

Would he force-feed the antipyretic? Of course not, but he’ll make Richter drink it no matter what.

Richter groaned, the small, aware part of his brain telling him that he really didn’t have a choice, and he leaned forward, grimacing for what’s to come.

Olrox’s expressions softened and he poured the suspicious liquid into the spoon. Belmont had a hard time forcing it down and stuck out his tongue. “Ew! That sucked.”

“Language.” Aztec calmly reprimanded, setting the bottle away and tucking his boy back into the covers. “Get some rest. I’ll be here when you awake and we’ll see if your appetite returns.”

“Okay…” Richter mumbled, pulling the covers closer akin to a little caterpillar.

Olrox couldn’t help the warmth about to burst out of his chest at the adorable sight, and pressed a kiss into the child’s hair. Richter made a noise but no move to protest, falling back asleep as calm as ever. Olrox smiled, the crisis finally averted.

“Sleep, my child.”

Don’t mind me just tagging a moot @sonderblade 🤭

it's just it's just

pious devoted knight slowly becoming disillusioned with the church because the local abbot is literally manufacturing demons in order to side with the bourgeoisie against the revolution but he's trying his best to cling to his ideals and his christian faith regardless and also there's the inevitable tension of being queer in a predominately homophobic religion

indigenous vampire who literally eats the rich and may or may not be the avatar of or at least connected in some way with quetzalcoatl a specifically non-christian god

is literally THE ship dynamic of all time. i cannot stop thinking about them. god. and that last devastating scene between them. they're both so flawed. olrox sweetie you cannot control your lover's actions you need to stop being so manipulative and selfish. mizrak you cannot call an aztec man "an animal who lost his soul long ago" what the fuck that's not okay. it doesn't matter that he's a vampire and therefore "soulless" according to your worldview because according to your worldview you're not supposed to fuck let alone fuck "soulless" creatures of the night let alone fuck "soulless" creatures of the night who happen to be other men. get the plank out of your own eye buddy. i love them both so much

#castlevania #castlevania nocturne #castlevania netflix #mizrak #olrox #mizrak x olrox #mizrox #okay filing tags aside here's some more half baked thoughts!!#i am DYING for them to explore olrox's feathered serpent form and all the quetzalcoatl imagery further in season 2 #like HELLO? you cant just casually drop that #i was fully expecting it to be another varney situation where he's more than your typical vampire #but it seems olrox is actually afraid of erszebet once she goes full sekhmet-mode?? im not entirely buying it. i want him to kill her #um also. if erzsebet drank sekhmet's blood to gain her divinity.#and ive heard speculation that maybe olrox did the same with quetzalcoatl.#so are we establishing that drinking god's blood makes you god in this universe? and what does this mean for christians #wrt to the whole Eucharist thing #i am so not normal about this cartoon. sorry #yarrow speaks into the void

Castlevania Nocturne's Colors Aren't Just More Colorful

I watched Castlevania Nocturne and y'all are gonna hear my Specific Ass Takes. [full video transcript under cut]

[ The whole video plays over a background of a multicolor evening sky with a shooting star, and starts with a light blue silhouette of bunnies and a lantern. When the speaker begins reading, a cartoon bunny head appears ]

I'm working on a bigger video that I thought I'd have out, like, Last Week. Unfortunately, the scriptwriting stage is giving me disproportionate difficulty. So this week, to get something out, I'm gonna be making a small dissertation on the color work in Castlevania Nocturne to all y'all 'cause I watched it on Friday the 13th this fine spooky month.

Spoilers. Obviously. But like specifically I am Not arranging my thoughts linearly, you will get no incremental building to the bigger late game spoilers, they can come at any moment.

[ The video transitions to a speedpaint of a coloring page ]

Colors are by far some of my favorite things to see being used well and played around with, and even if the colors weren't expertly planned and were used for nothing except as a way to differentiate the characters, I'd still love just how much More Colorful Nocturne is compared to Castlevania The First. Something that especially made my brain go absolutely brrRR is the weird interesting thing they did with the color pink. How Anette says Eduoard called her soul pink but her favorite color was always green (the opposite) and it zooms in on him in his fancy green opera coat, which you cannot help but relate back to the tiny jewels Olrox's earrings have in them, and how they alternate between pink and green.

All three of them have the new world in common. All three of them come from horribly damaged communities, and while the girl who refuses to submit and discovers her command over magic as a result carries the color pink in her soul, the boy who uses smooth deception and a calm demeanor as his main tool in the liberation of his community is commonly wreathed in greens, but the creature older and more weathered than them both with no soul and no mission and no community left enshrines both colors in gold jewelry and dresses in deep saturated purples. As if he understands both those things to be important, so important, but he only has his pride and his history left of all that he used to have and hold dear.

But the pink doesn’t stop here because Drolta's primary color is this neon hot pink that only poisonous things are while Maria's primary color is a light soft pastel pink; Drolta willingly gave herself over to Erzsebet centuries ago while Maria was unknowingly primed as an ideal sacrifice for her, and is only saved by her mother, who wears black from the first moment of the series because she was always marked for death. And the Abbot, too, is defined by black because faith without works is dead! This is also why even though Mizrak wears the same black uniform as the other soldiers, the symbol of his faith emblazoned across his chest is white, for it is alive! And then still so many of his shots focus on the rich maroon of his absolutely gorgeous eyes. You are regularly drawn away from the black he chooses to put on by the harmonious colors his true body is made of, and hammered home by the fact he is one of the only characters we ever see in a state of undress! And who- who could it be who we see with him in that scene, where he's covering up all his pretty colors, and what- what could they be wearing still? What could they have chosen not to take off? What jewelry might they be wearing? Hm! Hm. Curious. You don't say!

It's almost like without his faith and his mission and his devotion to a living god through a dead man, Mizrak is alone, but without his ostentatious persona and vampiric menace and regality, Olrox still has the vestiges of that which he has lost forever. Interesting!!

Drolta and Maria aren’t the only ones for whom saturation matters. Not only can Edouard no longer be green after he is transformed because he can never be of that same service to his old community; as if to add insult to injury, his previously pastel sky blue eyes are now this unnatural electric blue. Which lines up really well with how the neon saturation that defines the pinks on Drolta's color palette also defines the greens on Olrox's color palate!! Unnatural creatures do not get to have natural colors. Yes, even if you really like them. Yes, even Alucard!

Alucard is a balance of stark white and colorless black with two amber eyes to anchor him to the world around him. This same golden-ness is present in the magic Maria and Anette use and the markings on Edouard. His two small graces in his new existence are to take the form of an angel and to be marked with the same colors that mark the magic and the faith which stands opposed to all that binds him. Maria sees nothing of value in the church, because her faith lies in herself and her cause and those who support her, and the church as an institution upholds oppression. Anette adorns herself in gold, and glows amber as she calls on her canonically divine magic. A magic of her ancestors and her community's religious practices, which go against the white man's God. Edouard even in the form of a hell beast touches other people's souls with his voice, which is why the vampires (soulless evil creatures) all hate to hear it so.

Then Alucard appears as a deus ex machina in the final moments of the season framed by an eclipse halo and devoid of color but for his piercing golden eyes. He is such a different Thing than anything else we have seen in this season that the established color language *must* bend to him. God only needed to say 'I AM', and Alucard only needed to appear. He himself is all white, he has been alive for so long that the living on in the face of this relentless world defines him; the sword he uses to kill Drolta, save the main characters' lives, and repel the vampire cronies is white and silver. He is life and he protects others’ lives. Yet his coat is black and he promises immediate death to his foes. Where has he been this entire plot: we don’t know When all this dying was happening: where was he? Where was this power beneath the black? Then finally, he says with his soft voice, “I hope I’m not too late.” And he turns to properly face us and we see for certain that his eyes are the color of devotion and magic and sunlight. Sunlight!!!

Speaking of sunlight, if I might detour from colors, when Erzsebeth has transformed into a thundercat, she says she despises the sunlight because it is worshiped and beloved by these inferior humans, and restricts the power of vampires, the superior beings. Now. We know that vampires are only stunned by crosses because the geometry messes with their eyes and befuddles their predator brains, so you would think The Christian God has almost nothing to do with the repelling of vampires. However, if something is properly holy and consecrated, neither demons nor vampires can touch it without consequence. The Belmont Whip is consecrated, and has been for hundreds of years. That holy water Sypha freezes does uniquely damage the night creatures. However, vampires can enter the church in Nocturne, and hell beasts could enter the church in that town that killed Dracula’s wife that I don’t care to remember the name of. The hell beast says it can do this because that church is not a house of God, and the things the priest does makes God puke. The Abbot welcomes Erzsebeth and her ilk in as messiahs and desecrates his own church with a machine from hell. These are sacreligious places run by people who do not truly follow the faith either willfully or in blind cognitive dissonance.

Now, it is shown in Nocturne that Vaublanc is very anti-spells on the plantation despite these protective spells and spiritual songs having nothing to do with The Christian God which he so fears. He cannot escape the cage of crosses that Anette makes for him, but Anette definitively does not follow The Christian God. Yet he is burned by these crosses when he tries to touch them. Because Anette is descended from a god, and this is that god’s material. Because this is a divine act. Because Anette and her magic through devotion to her religion are holy and consecrated.

Therefore: Is sunlight only corrosive to vampires because the very concept of sunlight and the sun is sacred to all humans to some degree??? Did humanity’s collective unconscious consecrate sunlight thousands of years ago and continues to this day to do that, and that is why vampires cannot walk in it??? ‘Cause I think that makes The Most Sense Actually.

And lastly for colors, we have my boy, my beloved, my darling, my second favorite, Richter Belmont in his most distinctive deep blues like the ocean we start the show beneath, like the water he stares into and walks through. Like the tears he cries. The way once his magic returns to him, his fire and his ice match his eyes and the colors he wears because of course they match: This blue *is* Richter Belmont. His magic is a direct extension of his self. It is his soul and he dons that pure white headband he previously tucked away and didn’t wish to look at when he makes the decision to go on living and to choose love and choose these people and make them his mission. He chooses to fight against evil instead of hiding from it, he chooses to extend his love and his soul out to these people and whatever cause they support, and because he chooses that, He Is More. The screen and the vampires are consumed by blue because He Has Become More Than He Was with this choice. His soul burns blue, the second hottest color for fire to burn after white.

Of course his is the only color palette that comes close to being as restrained as Alucard's, because Alucard holds magic and devotion and sunlight in his soul (because as we all know the eyes are the windows to the soul) and simply lives and lives and lives on and on to carry those things forward to the people with whom he wishes to share magic and devotion and life and death, and he makes this choice again and again and again every new day, every new year, every new century he lives. He has lived too long to be anything else but this being of magic and devotion and sunlight and life.

So too Richter Belmont carries his love and the love others give to him forward and forward and forward wherever it will take him, because yes water travels the path of least resistance, and yes it takes the shape of its container, but that is why his choice of who he aligns himself with is so important! He finds people he believes in and he allows them to shape him, to direct him, to have his whole soul. Other characters in Castlevania Nocturne believe in messiahs and gods and power structures and ideologies, but Richter Belmont believes in the people he loves and in the love in his soul. Blue is the color of love! Richter Belmont is made from love and not fear, and he must dispossess his fear of its power if he is ever to truly live!

That scene was by far my favorite scene in the entire show. Just unequivocally. I think in part because that was the part where I expected Alucard to show up, ‘cause when looking up the voice actors I accidentally saw ‘James Callis as Alucard’ and I went ‘Oh my gosh! He really does show up! I was hoping he would show up but he really does show up! He’s obviously gonna make a big entrance!’ and so my anticipation of dear beloved Alucard meant I was very pleasantly surprised by Richter pulling a real Magical Girl Protagonist move and unlocking his magic through the power of love and overcoming your trauma.

[ The coloring page pans across the screen and the video transitions into the end screen ]

But did you know that I make these videos through the power of positive reinforcement and fits of passion? Did you also know I have a Ko-Fi page for those of you who wish not only to give me compliments in comment sections about my pretty voice and how my analysis has contributed positively to your experience on this mortal coil, but who wish to be like Raptorous77 and Random NPC Tartaglia Simp Extraordinaire who hath contributed moneys to me and my continued financial stability? I also have little incentives over there like the Kill Your Darlings Graveyard for scripts where I have waaaayyy too much to say and I have to cut stuff from for flow. I also am prepping a thing where you can chuck money at me to make screenshot edits of things like this Rolling With Difficulty/Paranatural thing I did for fun or the cover art I make for the Broadway Nepeta blog because I run that. If you wanna catch me announcing when my image edit endeavour goes up you can subscriiibe~ If I make it to a thousand subscribers by my birthday (I will give you one hint, I am a Scorpio) then I’ll, like… uhh… Make a community post where I will take requests because I don’t do requests otherwise. It’ll be fun, it’ll be a celebration~

Okay, that’s all from me, also I am definitely gonna be making a Castlevania Nocturne AMV to one of the Pretty Cure openings, mark my words. Take care~

[ There is a stretch of silence and the end screen faces out before a blooper snippet plays ]

Not only can Edouard no longer be green after he is transitioned-- … pff, after he has transitioned… He’s trans everybody! [laughs] Trans Rights!!

you know, I actually think there's a lot of juicy merit to the idea of the belmonts not being the righteous heroes we always thought they were. maybe after many generations of triumphing over evil, they let it get to their heads that they were unfallible, that their judgements were always correct, etc. the concept of genuinely making them morally grey has so much potential from a storytelling angle, it's just too damn bad the only media that ever attempts this is fucking netflixvania. outside of like, less than 5 throwaway lines about baby vamp skulls and dark magic sealed doors, IT'S NEVER BROUGHT UP AGAIN. you had an idea and it sounded cool in your head, but no genuine clue how to actually WRITE it so some editor just overlooked the few lines you shoved into the script on a whim. as it stands now it feels like one the shows many attempts to shit talk the source material for the thousandth time. and aside from trevor, everyone is dead! how are we meant to criticize the dubious heroes when we can't even see how they behaved/what their practices were?? why should we even CARE???

The vampire kids is just proof of how shoddy the lorebuilding is. Once you get past the initial shock of "OMG the Belmonts killed babies??????", you think for one second "wait, the vampires can't reproduce, so... where are these children coming from?". And no matter the answer, you eventually realize that they deserve to be mercy killed 💀 (unless they're dhampirs, but that would be an even worse piece of information to relegate to shock value for 5 seconds)

There's also Julia, mind you. Who was apparently racist against vampires lmao, and killed Olrox' poor bf who was so nice and wanted equality and revolution, really! I don't even know how bad we're supposed to feel lol, because unless I'm mistaken, in that scene Olrox also reveals he turned his bf against his will...

Anyway. I get your point but... I don't trust like that anymore 😅 once again, I'd rather extrapolate on what the games left us. Trevor, as pointed out here, is an absolute savage in CoD, like he sounds so bloodthirsty for no reason! And he's the first Belmont who has killed Dracula, he's not even burdened by his own legacy, he's one of the founders of said legacy! And Richter's flaws are infamous, the way he enjoys the thrill of the fight just too much, the way his identity is wrapped around his destiny, the way he falters under Dracula's manipulation... Even Juste, you can see him as being a hothead and too willing to forget about recent events in HoD, indicating either denial or a sense of overprotectiveness.

Basically, giving personal flaws to the Belmonts is more than welcome. You can use these flaws to paint them as not completely pure, even, although personally I'm tired of the stereotype of the arrogant superhero. But NFCV just... doesn't like the Belmonts, at all, and that "oh they kill innocent vampires" tidbit that Alucard so despises, while I'm sure it's meant as a way to flesh out the "heroes", comes off to me as the show siding too often with the antagonists, and downplaying the Belmont's genuine desire to do good. Or turning Trevor and Juste into cynical washouts because we just like that archetype I guess :\

Tbh I feel like everything could have been fine if there was a little bit more care into it I'm not French and I don't much about the revolution so i can't say anything about the it but I'm black so I can empathize with Annette a little more I think the Idea behind her is interesting.

Oh boyyyyyyyy okay I finished watching the show so now I can rant.

We pretty much agree. The idea behind Annette is not the problem I have with her (well, except for the fact that they felt the need to give her powers when it would've been much more meaningful and impactful to me if she hadn't had any). The problem is the show uses her to emphasize how much SLAVERY IS BAD AND EVIL (as if we don't already know that) but to the point of straight-up insulting everyone else.

First off, there's this dialogue from Annette, talking to Richter and Maria: "You're not cowards. You're just children with no experience of the world. No experience of the hard choices adults have to make." Basically, Annette is saying she knows more than them because SHE SUFFERED MORE. Maria and Richter don't know pain! They were never slaves! And everyone knows only black people and slaves knows what the world is REALLY LIKE and what TRUE PAIN IS. It infuriated me so much, and it was only the beginning.

When Richter ran away from Olrox (because that's the vampire who killed his mother in front of him and traumatised him as a CHILD, Tera told her that, his panic attack was understandable), Annette had a whole monologue about how being a slave is terrifying, about how they know the cost of freedom, about how she wouldn't run away (even though she literally ran away from her ex-owner). Later on, she will say about Richter that he was "useless as fuck". I get it, she's mad, but the fact she had to make it about her and her problems like Richter did not have as much as her is still a bitch move.

In another scene, she uses magic to talk to her teacher, and at first, it was fine. When Annette complained that Richter ran away, the woman gave her a piece of her own medicine by telling her "Everyone starts by running away, Annette.", hintingat her running away from her slave owner, and Annette goes "It's completely different, how can you even compare that!" even though SHE is the one who compared her story to Richter's to begin with to invalidate his feelings and make him look like a jerk. But then, the teacher says:

"Even these french with their high ideas, what do they know about we've suffered? And what do they care? They're building new world, but it won't be freedom, or equality or brotherhood for US"

I will talk about this more in details in another post, because the problem I have with it don't concern Annette directly. I just wanna say that there is big problems with this and that Annette did not contradict her, she did not try to say she was wrong, she took it as the truth. And that bothers me. In a earlier scene, in episode 3, the teacher also shat on the french revolution and "the whites" because it would not help THEM, so I should've expected it, really. Also Annette, just like everyone else at that moment, applauded this woman.

In the end it's a matter of the show drilling into our heads that Annette is so oppressed and SLAVERY BAD left and right that made me dislike her (that and the bitchy attitude she sometimes has for no reason). The writers does not know how to handle such a heavy topic and it shows (especially a heavy topic from another country :)). You know you fucked up when you can't talk about X people suffering without shitting on the suffering of others.

I don't know about her religion so I can't tell wich problems there is, if any, but I wouldn't be surprised if the writers messed that up too.

Good for you and everyone else who likes her, for any reason. You do you. I personnally can't stand her. She's not all bad (she was fine during the first episodes), but the show ruined her for me, I'm afraid. :/ I just can't look at her without thinking that the writers used her as a tool to defend that black people suffered more than anyone else (and it infuriates me even more when I remember that she used to be a white woman who's only crime was that she couldn't fight. i really wish everyone would stop turn the "weak" women into girlbosses who fights and make them actually strong in ways other than physical. and the fact they made her black just so they could tackle racism and slavery leaves a sour taste in my mouth). And shit a bit on the french revolution while they were at it. So yeah, just like you said. Could have been fine with a little bit more care put into it.

#castlevania nocturne #anti netflixvania #sorry to the fans #i really wanted to like her #i did like her at first #they just had to overdo it.#i don't really feel the chemistry between Annette and Richter either

As a LatinAmerican student let me tell you something about Olrox, I love him and everything he represents.

Did he killed Julia Belmont? Yes, and she had it coming , let me explain; You don’t go out on a literal civil war without context on what’s going —on and who’s attacking who and most importantly why— take the side that looks like you, just to essentially killed the last hope of protection the other side has —Let’s remember that Belmont knew about the tale of vampires that could be friendly or neutral at worst /aka Alucard/ she could have spoken to the natives or the slaves to know why this was happening, but she didn’t /I doubt she did at least/— then make unfair decisions about who is evil and deserves to die.

(She might have KNOWN what was going on, since –in my understanding– she was living there for A GOOD WHILE, so she either didn’t care or was oblivious enough to pass it out.)

Olrox is literally the best thing to ever happen to me in so long, the lore behind him and the profound sense of cultural connection I feel with him is something I haven’t felt in a long time, I can feel his rage and his intense feeling of disgust at the idea of colonialism.

As a kid most of us were always told that colonialism was good for us, that we were savages before and now “we’re better bc we have technology”, but guess what, we had our technology back then, we had a way of living and a good thing going on. Was it perfect? No. But it was way better that the hell that was forced into us, the sickness and the cultural hatred that influenced us into submitting our culture and beliefs, THAT WASN’T A GOOD THING.

Olrox has every right and reason to do what he does. Fight me in the comments about it.

I’ll always be a Mizrak defender when Olrox saved him in the abbey. Yes it was sweet and romantic but wholly selfish on Olrox’s part because people forget that Olrox left Richter, Annette, Maria, and Tera to die in the abbey with an omnipotent vampire cat goddess. When they were yards away from the abbey Mizrak was still trying to save the others and struggling to break free from Olrox.

Olrox was manhandling him and Olrox being a vampire, Mizrak was in a huge disadvantage of strength and no matter how much he struggle Olrox would not let him go if Olrox didn’t want to. Even though Olrox saved Mizrak he is keeping Mizrak detained against his will. The first thing on Mizrak’s mind was the others that Maria and Richter are trapped and are in danger. Richter and Maria seem to be pretty familiar with Mizrak. They were causal acquaintances or even friends to say the least— especially the winky face Richter gave Mizrak after visiting the Abbot in ep 1.

Mizrak just has a guarded exterior, he’s like that with everyone else and with Olrox. It’s not personal. Though we do see him falter just a tiny bit in most intimate scenes with them together. It’s nothing personal with Olrox, it’s just Mizrak’s character.🗿 Mizrak is just a tough cookie to crack and Olrox is his glass of milk and he’s the only one that can soften him up and make him ooey gooey. 🍪🥛

Despite the harden exterior he cares for Richter and Maria and when he learned the truth about the Abbot he went against him and tried to save Maria from getting sacrificed! After Mizrak alerted the others he KILLED all the knight brothers because they were in his way to save Maria!

After Richter gets tossed around by the force field magic shit from Erzsebet, Mizrak charges up to avenge Richter but Olrox scoops him up and leaves everyone in the abbey to die.

What did people expect Mizrak to do? Should Mizrak twirl his hair? Kick his feet in the air because Prince Charming swooped down and saved him from certain peril? Olrox saved Mizrak but left everyone else to die! Mizrak felt he was the only one who can could protect Richter, Maria, and Tera from Erzsebet! Even thought he’s the only normal human with no magic he still throws himself into the fray. But Olrox took Mizrak away his first thought is who is going to protect them now?

Olrox now wants to talk about feelings and confess to each other while the world is ending? Time and place Olrox, time and place! The world is at peril and the people Mizrak cares about are getting brutalized! Mizrak called him “animal who lost his soul centuries ago.”

What he’s saying is that Olrox is selfish. He doesn’t have people he cares about or risks his life for but Mizrak does. Essentially calling him heartless because Olrox only saved him and deep down Mizrak feels like he isn’t even worth saving. But he’s able to save other people at least. Try to save the world or die trying.

People intrepid Mizrak being a racist to Olrox because he’s an indigenous man and indigenous people were called animals back then and think Mizrak is a white man. Which I don’t think that’s what Mizrak means that in any capacity.

Also, Mizrak is not white. He’s Middle Eastern/North African, and was probably called an animal too by the Christians since Christians or anyone who doesn’t follow the Abrahamic faith that was specifically theirs called anyone animals. Especially pagans. Yikes!

Not to mention Mizrak’s origin is Maltese and this is the time of Knights of St. John: 1530-1798 during the Knights Hospitaller. Where thousands of Muslim slaves were captured and taken to Malta. In mid-18th century there were around 9,000 Muslim slaves in Hospitaller-ruled Malta. So yea, Mizrak was most likely enslaved during sometime in his childhood and converted to Catholicism when he joined the Clergy of Knights.

So no, Mizrak is a not racist Christian calling Olrox an animal. Mizrak has also been effected by colonialism too. Just how Olrox spoke how he lost his people to due to colonialism kinda made Mizrak be beside himself too.

Almost forgetting about his own home and how he was enslaved to by the very same faith he fights with and that had also caused so much devastation to other parts of the world. Olrox and Mizrak are the same except Mizrak assimilated while Olrox resisted it.

Mizrak was probably a child when he was enslaved while Olrox was a grown adult man when the Europeans came on to his shores. Olrox was able to resist and fight back while Mizrak a child was impressionable and was converted. They have the same backstories but different circumstances.

I went on a tangent here, but Mizrak calling Olrox an animal is because animals are easily spooked and run away from danger and to him he views animals as heartless and only caring for their own survival.

Mizrak chews Olrox out of anger the same way Annette called Richter a “useless fuck,” because he ran away from the cellar.

Mizrak and Annette are very much alike. Both are hot headed and stubborn and not afraid to charge into danger, idealistic and not afraid to get killed. They both share the same philosophy of Anti-Running Away From A Fight

Olrox and Richter are alike in many ways too. They are both are cautious planners and are a more grounded than their partners. They take time to think before they make up a plan— not charge headfirst. And also they both retreated. Richter when he had a panic attack when Olrox spooks him. Olrox pulling Mizrak away from a fight and leaving everyone behind.

Mizrak has every right to be pissed and angry. To put it bluntly he doesn’t have time to deal with whatever this is going on between Olrox and Mizrak right now! This isn’t the time for confessions— they aren’t in the safety of the inn when they are the only two people that matter inside the walls. They are in a middle of a battle and the people Mizrak cares about are trapped with a malicious cat GOD bringing in the destruction of humanity. He doesn’t have time to think of this right now and what he said was out of anger, hurt, and the heat of the moment. He lashed out at Olrox, nothing more.

After he leaves Olrox he runs back to battle yards away to find his friends to see if they survived.

Olrox remains behind because he doesn’t have attachment to those people but Mizrak does he has people he cares about.

Back at the inn Mizrak asked if Olrox was going to turn Mizrak into a vampire he said no because he doesn’t love him. Olrox turned his lover into a vampire because he wanted him to be with him forever. Mizrak was wondering if this— one night stand or anything was something Olrox had planned to do or this is what vampires do when they fancy somebody. When Olrox coldly says he doesn’t love him, and Mizrak thinks Olrox doesn't even care about him . Remember Olrox rejected Mizrak first when he said he didn’t love him.

It’s way too early if Olrox and Mizrak love each other or not. It started out as a one night stand and slowly began to catch feelings for each other. Who knows what we are going to see in season 2 and I don’t think Mizrak hates Olrox he’s just pissed and felt betrayed at the moment. I hope these two can reconcile and worked together to defeat Erzsebet!

Annette definitely gets really embarrassed when she uses her diap in front of drolta, but her babysitter is too busy cuddling her and she’s too shy to say she needs to go

“what’s the matter baby.. why are you making that noise, why is she wiggling so much..olrox I broke the baby,”

he comes over and realizes

“oh no, she’s fine . It’s just my turn with her “

and she’s full on soaking her diaper in his arms

“you need to tell us these things next time, I don’t want you to get sick”

olrox has had the “if you hold it in you’ll get a uti” talk with annette so many times

I’m on my period so here’s some Olrox comforting trans male reader (I also wrote this for a friend of mine who is ✨suffering with me!✨)

Olrox x trans male reader comfort 🏳️‍⚧️

Genderless blogs female she/ her using people don’t interact this is only for trans ftm people and please understand I will be blocking any blogs

You woke up feeling sick? No not sick just unwell, you grabbed your stomach, it hurt really badly. slowly you get out of bed being very careful to not wake up olrox, and went to the bathroom hoping that bad feeling was not what you think it was.

“Oh fuck me” you felt like you wanted to cry as you looked at the blood soaked underwear, ‘gods why’ it felt like the gods just where not on your side this week, as you slowly took off the underwear and grabbed a pad than you froze, how were you going to get clean underwear without waking up orlox, you looked down at the pad in your hand as tears pooled in your eyes.

“I hate this” you managed to get underwear and put the pad on, and it was annoying it felt like a constant reminder. The more you had to wear it the more irritable you were

“Morning love, I don’t see you in bed is everything alright?” olrox asked it was an innocent enough question but you couldn’t help but snap “I’m fine, leave me alone.” olrox raised an eyebrow but didn’t fight back, as you grabbed some coffee and left to go back to bed

You didn’t want to admit it but you felt bad for snapping at olrox, he didn’t do anything wrong he barely said anything but you felt angry, angry that you’re body was betraying you, angry that everything hurts, angry that you had to deal with this pathetic excuse of a body

“Hay darling, I got you something.” He slowly put down a cup of tea next to the almost untouched cup of coffee “I know you’re not feeling the best right now, but would you let me look after you?” He rubbed the side of your arm with your back facing him, at his words you start shaking and crying

“Baby?” you turn to look at him “i'm so sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you its just” you tried to calm yourself down it wasnt working, Olrox gently grabbed the sides of your face

“Take your time and breath” your hands trailed his arms, as you held on to him and tried to steady your breathing as he wiped away your tears

“You okay now Or do you need a minute?” you look at him “im fine” “okay can you tell me why you're sad?” you kept quiet then in a low voice you answer him “i'm on my period” “oh, would you like me to stay with you in bed?” you nod, Olrox smiled, and you scoot to make room for him in bed, he got in and wrapped his arms around you, you buried your head in his chest.

He started humming and playing with your hair “you’re such a strong man, if it was me I would completely crumble” “no you wouldn’t” you said not believing a word he said

He looks at you “Tender breasts, Bloating, low blood Pressure, Muscle aches, Joint pain, Headaches, Acne, Abdominal cramps, Muscle cramps and indigestion, i wouldn’t last a day with those symptoms you last a week” he kisses the top of your head “most men can’t even deal with indignation for a week, so when you add every else on top of it it seems impossible but you do it on a monthly basis” he says as you hug him tighter, you knew he only wanted to help but listening to him talk about it just made you feel worse “Olrox, stop i know you’re trying to make me feel better but, my period just always has to remind me of its existence, it’s like it’s taunting me, telling me that no matter what I do and no matter how much I think or feel it I will never be a man fully”

olrox stoped and looked at you, he wanted to say something but he didn’t want to interrupt you.

“What happened I can’t get out get out of bed whatsoever and I’ll be angry at nothing for no reason for such a long time that it overwhelms me it all feels like to much like for this week and only this week I’m in the wrong body, a weak weird one it makes me feel wrong”

He knows he could take all of those feelings away but he would help anyway he could, he got up slightly and picked up the still warm tea “here I can’t take away those bad thoughts but I could sooth the person who has them” he says while looking at you, you got up and leaned against his chest, he brought the cup of tea to your lips as you took a sip “fruit?” You asked taking another sip “I had some got some in case you bad a bad day” you mumbled a thank you and continue to drink

After the tea was done Olrox went and put the dirty cup in the sink and start boiling some water he got a water bag a gently start to pour the hot water into it filling it it was to hot to the touch so he put a wool cover so it wouldn’t burn you, He picked up your favorite fluffy blanket and grabbed the book you where reading

He came back blanket water bag and book in hand he put the water bag on your stomach rolled you with a blanket sat next to you on the bed wrapping you both loosely with the extra blanket you rested your head on his lap and he began reading out loud while playing with your hair

You where getting drowsy and Olrox could tell he stopped playing with your hair after he noticed your eyes closing, he laid down next to you in bed and gave you a kiss on the lips, you brought your head to his shoulder and right about when you where going to fall asleep you head “I love you, my strong boy”

you smiled realizing that it didn’t matter if you didn’t have a man’s body you where just as much a man as anyone else, the man you love made it clear that he loves you no matter what and that was all you needed

Amusement was abundant; ripe apples which he felt no qualms picking from the tree and sinking teeth into to satiate his delight. Be it the squabbling and suffering of pathetic humans drained at the mercy of vampires, or vampire politics blowing up at spectacularly as those wrought by human hands. Superior beings, mm? Geto Suguru should not have judged ( he did ) for common humans, sorcerers, and vampires held too similarities much to his dismay. No creature, living or previously living, was immune to desire, greed, violence, and making mistakes.

Suguru drew his pleasure from the fact the ruined plans were not of his cause nor did he hold any personal stake in the matter . . he merely enjoyed stirring the pot and watching what fortunes were to be reaped. Vigilant hues rivaling Olrox's @kisumshi scanned the vampire's body from head to foot like a serpent sizing up another serpent. Leisurely, he lounged against the brick of the neighboring building and proceeded his ritual of tampening an assortment of aromatic herbs into the head end of his hand carved pipe. Each movement calculated even in the way broad shoulders rolled with a casual shrug.

── ❛ Is that so? Sounds like you're volunteering to take the hit. If not, those nosy Belmonts are always a favourite to blame, aren't they now. ❜

I got a question. when you say females do not interact on certain posts/ writings, what does that mean exactly for females? Because in someone else’s eyes, that might not come off as polite or even come off as sexist? I just want to warn you of that.

OK I’m going to realize I’m gonna eventually have to explain this so it’s better if I explain it now and get it over with

Also the character I was referring to Olrox is canonically gay, as he has only had two lovers (that we have known of so far) and both of them were male, his past lover who died is often referred to the pronouns he or him and his current lover Mizrak is obviously male or male representing

And because the character in that fanfic is an openly gay male character ,which don’t really get that much representation and when they do they get very fetishized, which as a openly trans bisexual person who uses they/he pronouns, it’s very very disturbing to me, and The few fanfics which they do get also very much get fetishize by women and of course this is not all women but a majority a good example this is BL and manhwa

And of course this is a two-way street, as many lesbian relationships if ever get shown on screen are going to be heavily fetishize and sexualize and be very much pushed out towards male audiences

And if you haven’t seen my blog my blog is cater to mostly queer fanfics and a safe space for everybody, Black people, indigenous people, any queer person, literally anybody. so I want that to feel like a safe space, which means you get the contact you want without the fetishization and the disgusting parts that you would normally get in say a fanfic that was written by cis straight woman about two gay men having a threesome with a woman

This is not discourage any writers if you are a beginner writer like me, I say wright whatever makes you happy, but also remember that there are people out there that you might be objectifying when you write these things

If you still don’t understand another, amazing example of this is a alucard from the series Castlevania, which is the original to Castlevania nocturnal which is where the character I wrote about Olrox came from, but this character is openly bisexual he has had an intimate scene with both a man and woman and yet I rarely if ever see any fanfics with just him and male reader.

And No, I’m not saying you shouldn’t interact with my blog if your cis if you’re or if you’re straight. know this is a safe space for everyone everyone can come in and look at that fanfics and the at the stuff I post, have your cake and eat it too, but also please for the love of God be respectful, if something says female/fem responding people DIN or minor/ageless blogs DIN, than respect that

Also please understand I am not discouraging anyone from this blog, I will be writing many many more Castlevania and Castlevania nocturne soon, until then you could read literally any other fanfic that does not say fem representing din, because I am deadly serious on this matter and I will start blocking accounts, Because as unfortunate as this is I have had a few of my very old fanfics fetishized and just morally degraded and it is disgusting to a new level.

Thank you and please be respectful of my wishes

Or I don’t I’ll block you
