My Secret Santa for Sebleem on the Castlevania Creatives discord server. She wanted calm/happy Alucard, so here’s our weirdly happy dhampir with a good book and a nice cuppa on a rainy day, enjoying the quiet after a drive-by by a passel of rowdy orphans and their artistic endeavors. ;)
I don’t think I ever wanted to cry so much for a character like Adrian Tepes from the sheer horror on his face when he saw his parents forging into one and hearing their cries, and having to watch them die again within seconds of returning like wow y'all couldn’t fucking leave him be and grieve.
Omg I just watched castlevania for the first time and its soo good! Anyway here’s a fan art of Alucard + speedpaint! This is my first illustration using procreate. It’s really nice, but I think I prefer paint tool sai better > o <
I’m in the mood to just… summarize a Julikado fic I might not even get to writing.
So, Soma, Mina, Yoko and Hammer, in all their youthful scheming, attempt to… set Julius and Arikado up. They all get it in their minds that the two would be cute together. And duh! They clearly like each other!! Why hadn’t anyone thought of this sooner? It’s perfect!
Soma and Mina’s method is to try to reenact Parent Trap to get the two alone together.
Not too harmful, it does result in some backfiring when Arikado nonchalantly comments on Soma and Mina’s relationship and Julius starts ruthlessly teasing the young adults on how cute they are together. Failure.
Yoko makes them reservations at fancy restaurants and speaks to them in only suggestive eyebrow wriggling.
Actually quite pleasant. Arikado laughs?? It’s as subdued as one would expect, but what isn’t expected is his apparently existent sense of humour?? As the crew is spying on the two, they really feel “GOD! HOW ARE THESE TWO NOT ALREADY TOGETHER!?!”
To seal the deal, Hammer… puts mistletoe around. Bumps into Arikado so he’ll fall into Julius’ arms… Hands the two notes “from each other” asking “Do you like me? Yes or No”.
At this point Arikado is not entertained, and Julius knows exactly what’s going on. And the crew is still banking on getting the two to kiss. But their plans are dashed by Arikado’s sudden unavailability whenever they want to trick him into another dinner date. Julius’ response to any questioning is: “Oh, Arikado? We’re partners.” and the kids just want to strangle him. How doesn’t he SEE?
They call for an intervention and demand Arikado and Julius acknowledge the sparks there.
Thoroughly pissed, Arikado refuses on principle. However, Julius finally busts out laughing and tells the group: “Arikado is my partner.” He holds up his left hand, wearing a silver ring.
After Julius loses his memory following the events of 1999, Alucard changes his identity to Genya Arikado and lives a normal domestic life with Julius. Finally, Alucard has a normal life, all only at the cost of Julius’ memories.
Julius doesn’t have to remember Alucard to love him.
