I see a lot of love for the different Krolock actors, but I rarely see my fav, Kevin Tarte. So here is a Kevin-Krolock appreciation post:
Tanz der Vampire - Die unstillbare Gier
Is this why Graf van Krolock looks so pissed all the time?
He’s running out of sparkly fabric to make his waistcoats.
His manicurist died and he can’t find another one that’s good enough for him.
He can’t get a medieval banger out of his mind.
The members of his in-house orchestra keep dying and he has to find new ones so he can continue his dramatic monologues.
I would like to present the following pics as evidence:
“Wohl der Nacht,
Die uns bewahrt davor, das Hässliche zu seh'n.
Sie rührt sacht
An dunkle Träume und lässt Totes aufersteh'n.
"Folgt mir nach,
In meine Dunkelheit, um nie mehr fort zu geh'n.
Denn wer sich aus freien Stücken zu mir gesellt
Soll Antwort erhalten auf Fragen, die er nicht stellt.
Ich weihe euch ein ins Mysterium meiner Welt…”
Since my final exams are finally over, I’m very happy to announce that I’m officially back in the art game! :D
Krolock @ himself during Die unstillbare Gier: “CAUSE YOU FRICKIN FRICK JUST CAN’T EVER BE QUENCHED!! YOUR– YOUR FANTASIES CAN’T EVER BE QUENCHED, CAN THEY?! YOU FRICKIN FRICK!! WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?!!? WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?!? THAT YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!"
Hahahaha so you know how I watched Tanz der Vampire? Great musical by the way, check it out if you like vampires.
But so, predictably, I have the urge to make a crossover with Castlevania.
AND IT ALL STARTS WITH MY FAVOURITE VAMPIRE WALTER BERNHARD!
So, Graf von Krolock knows Walter Bernhard. Though they aren’t related, Walter calls him “cousin” as a term of endearment. He’ll often try to spoil the other vampire with new “pets” that he catches himself. He’s possessive of Krolock, not necessarily in a romantic sense but far too corrupted to be familial.
Krolock takes the behaviour towards him in stride, not quite caring either way. He has the barest of affections towards Walter as a source of company.
He loses contact with Walter in the late 11th century after hearing news of the other vampire’s latest rendezvous he had planned. A young brunette named Sara Trantoul and her blond fiancé, Leon Belmont.
The strangest thing happens, Krolock begins to miss Walter’s company. He sits lamenting until news of a new Count, an outsider, spreads through Romania.
Vlad Dracula Tepes.
