Castlevania Season 3 Trailer and Poster Theories Part 1: Characters and Posters
Tumblr media
So if you’re just joining us, hi and welcome. 
With the release of the Season 3 trailer for Castlevania, I figured I might as well break this down to see what’s in store for the characters and how this may connect to the future of the series. (Spoilers abound for a number of Castlevania games, so you have been warned.)
Realized this was really long so you have a warning that if you are reading this on mobile it may be better to read on the computer. 
Tumblr media
So this is probably during the fight between Alucard and the Japanese warrior we see in the trailer. Two things about this moment: One I’m a bit worried that Alucard is going to push himself too much. He absolutely needs to rest as if he’s still awake for years to come then the whole situation with Symphony of the Night has less weight to it. Two is the fact that he’s enjoying himself, meaning that this is a positive for him and what’s going to happen in the future in regard to people becoming friends with him and him having a life. 
Tumblr media
I’m assuming this is where Alucard is talking to the Japanese warrior that we meet in the forest. He’s explaining to them what happened to Dracula and what is up with the castle. However, this whole “Dracula is dead by my hand,�� and Sypha and Trevor’s...is important. They are missing a key factor in ending him for good, that being the stone that Dracula has on him. As long as the Crimson Stone exists, he can keep coming back, again and again, and that means Death will have to be coming into play soon enough. 
Tumblr media
Again, he’s activating his powers, which, if he overuses them this could be a bad thing. I’m wondering if they’re going to put him to sleep after this one, or if he’s going to be around with Simon...Please don’t be awake with Simon. Please. It’s sort of cool seeing them in motion though, more so than with Season 2. 
Tumblr media
Okay, so a lot of speculation right now is that this is Zead, aka the man that teaches Hector about the Innocent Devil’s in Curse of Darkness that you use in-game. Zead is actually another important character in Curse of Darkness as he’s Death in disguise. His goal was to use Hector to beat Isaac, and then have Hector consumed by the curse to bring back Dracula. 
Tumblr media
However, another option may be a possible flashback to Leon’s story and this is just a priest that is traveling with the Crusaders. Though the outfits make me think that this is a later time period. If it’s not Zead, then he could be a character that comes into play as an introduction to the issues with Carmilla or ties into the village that was attacked by Legion minions. 
So we officially have a title for him. The Judge, it seems, and he’s voiced by Jason Isaacs. Important to note that the name Judge is used as part of Judgement, which is another term for Death. Though I do have to wonder if he and Morana are one and the same. Or if he’s a red herring to her being actually Death. It wouldn’t be the first time that that happened. 
Tumblr media
Right, so I’m going to focus more on the two other Vampires on the left and the right rather than the center two at this moment. 
So the Lady on the left is giving me a few options to work with here based on her looks. 
Her name is apparently Morana and she’s voiced by Yasmine Al Massri.  Morana is the Slavic goddess of Death and Rebirth. She is a winter goddess as well and can be depicted as an older crone character. What’s odd here is that they’re not going based on that idea.  Her name means death so clearly, we have a case here of a character that may be more powerful than we first think. 
So as for whom she may be based on the three following women are my best bets. 
Actrise is personally one of my best guesses given the design of the character. 
Tumblr media
Actrise is a witch that turned people into Vampires. While not in-game technically a vampire herself, she is a vile piece of work, killing 100 children to get Dracula to make her immortal. In the game Legacy of Darkness, she plays one of the major antagonists for the lead Cornell and later for Carrie Fernandez, who is trying to get back her sister Camilla who was turned into a vampire by Actrise. I can easily see them not adapting Legacy of Darkness, so turning Actrise into a helper for Camilla would make sense. 
Of course, there is the option of the second-best well known female vampire...
Elizabeth Bathory
Tumblr media
I would have picked her as my main pick, however, Elizabeth is just as well known as Carmilla is in regard to being a solo female Villian that I can’t see them putting her as a lower-ranked assistant to Carmilla. So while this could be a possibility for our lovely lady vampire in blue and yellow, I just don’t see it as an option. But you never know. And Bathory’s name is just as well known, so that’s an added bonus. 
The Countess was going to be a baddie in a Castlevania game that got canceled so she would be the easiest to adapt, and our lady Vampire has a lot of her looks. (High cheekbones, narrow nose, even the curved ears as an option and the high arched eyebrows.)
Tumblr media
A character that was designed to be a main bad in a N64 Castlevania game. Not much is known about this woman, other than she was called the Female Dracula and that she was Dracula’s lover for a while. She can create a portal to resurrect him. 
Next, we have Striga, who I thought was a guy, but is apparently a woman. She is voiced by Ivana Milicevic. 
Tumblr media
Now a Striga is a different sort of vampire and more a demon. But I do find it odd that we have two characters here named on two Slavic myths connected to death. What’s interesting about Striga is that I thought she may have been a guy that was connected to Alucard, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. 
Striga’s are born with two hearts and two souls and have two sets of teeth. They are bird-like and change into bird-like creatures that hunt humans for their blood. 
My main guess is that Striga probably is based more on the Lady Bats, Lillith or more likely Draculina from Order of Ecclesia. 
Tumblr media
They are female vampires that are loyal to Dracula, although in this case, Striga may be more connected to Lilith as she seems to be seen and shown with Lenore more than with Morana. This makes me think that Striga is the lesser of the two in power and that Carmilla and Morana may be more the heads of this operation. 
So the last character and the one that everyone wants to know about is this redhead. Her name is Lenore and she’s voiced by Jessica Brown Findlay.
Tumblr media
The name Lenore is taken from the name Elenore and was commonly used in the middle ages due to several queens having that name (Elenore of Aquitaine, Elenore of Provance, and Elenore of Castile) and comes from the name Aenor, which is a Latinized form of a Germanic name we don’t know the meaning of. 
Lenore is most well known for being the lead character in the Raven that Poe’s poet pines for. His Lost Lenore and I have a feeling that she is going to be a bit like that and a bit like Lucy from the Coppola version of Dracula. 
Some have speculated that this is a version Rosaly, Hector’s future wife from Curse of Darkness. However she doesn’t match at all, not personality, nor looks. I have a feeling they purposely made her too seem like Rosaly since there are some similarities, but very generic. 
Tumblr media
As you can see, long hair, very cheery-looking and innocent. Yet the hair and eyes don’t match at all. And even with the drastic changes they have done to the characters, see Isaac, Rosaly would need to have a certain look because of Julia later on. 
Tumblr media
As you can see there’s an innocence to her, and while the woman’s dress is similar to nun wear, it’s clearly not the woman that later saves Hector. So who is she? 
Well, there's the option of the Succubus character from a number of games. 
Tumblr media
the attitude and the look on the face, along with the hair and fangs would at least connect to that overall innocent look that the character is going for. 
However I think this may be Laura, Carmilla’s lover Laura, or she may be going by the name Lenore. 
Tumblr media
So in the lore of Castlevania, Laura is Carmilla’s servant, and in the book, Laura was her food source. In the games, Carmilla attaches herself to the player and drains them of their hearts to help her mistress. She acts like an innocent victim but in truth, she’s just trying to lure the player into a false sense of security. Defeating Carmilla leads to her transforming into a fighter (in the first game she had cat ears as a nod to the Konami lady and a nod to the book where Carmilla fed off her in the form of a large cat),
Tumblr media
Who then proceeds to attack the player for defeating her mistress. 
Given what she’s doing to Hector in the poster and what we see her doing in the trailer I don’t doubt that she’s playing with Hector to make him easier to feed on for Carmilla and screwing with him for her mistress as a plaything. They stand close together and it’s clear by the fact that she’s on the same side as Carmilla that she’s there to be a creature that is going to cause issues going forward. 
More than likely, given her outfit, she was probably once a nun in the same church as Rosely and may feature in getting backstory for what happened to the church that Rosely was a part of. 
Tumblr media
Alright, this is gonna be a doozy. So there’s a lot of speculation on who this woman is. Everything from Baba Yaga to a whole new character. So I have three major options here for who she could be. 
Voiced by Barbra Steele, this is Miranda, a strange woman that Isaac meets. The thing is I think he’s in possibly the city near the Baljihet Mountains where the Garibaldi Temple is, that leads to the Tower of Evermore, where they may have put Legion. So why am I bringing this up? Well, there are various locations in Castlevania that get re-explored in other games, and one of those places is Aljiba, a coastal city that houses two characters that could play parts in this series. The Crystal Trader, who could be Sala, (more on that down lower) and the Old Crone, who is right below. 
Option One is the Old Crone from Vampire Killer the sequel game in Japan to Castlevania. 
Tumblr media
Old Crone is a merchant in the castle where Dracula is. By whipping them you get items and discounts and the like. (Yes it’s weird.) She also will give you hints of where Simon in the game can get a piece of Dracula, in this case, his eyes. It wouldn’t be too odd if Miranda could be used as this hint giver to Isaac going forward on his journey to resurrect Dracula. Physically the character appears to be this sort of person. However, the marking on the neck and the robes have me speculating otherwise. 
Option two is the more likely character and one that has direct ties to Dracula himself and could explain the marking on the neck. 
Drolta Tzuentes is a character from Castlevania Bloodlines and is an assistant of Elizabeth Bathory. 
Tumblr media
There’s a lot of speculation around this character as she is very mysterious and was the one that revived Dracula’s niece Elizabeth in the game. She’s said to be very powerful and her looks seem to mirror that of the woman we see talking to Isaac. However, another big clue that this could be the character is that she may have been an alternative form to Death. (In the game she’s from it’s hinted heavily that she is.)
We know now that a character named “Judge” will be appearing, as played by Jason Isaacs. Why this is important is that this could be an allusion name to Death, and having both actors play different forms of the character makes sense. 
IF this is the case this is a big deal due to what’s on the woman’s neck. 
So if you don’t know Death is one of the main characters in Castlevania and he’s there to usually help revive Dracula as the two have a very interesting deal. When Mathias became Dracula he partnered with Death to take down the Vampire Walter whom Death was no longer interested in working with. Now Walter Bernhard, who was the Dracula before Dracula, and the man who took away Sara from Leon Belmont. 
So why am I mentioning this? Well, Walter had on him one of two stones that are very important to the Lore of Castlevania. The Crimson Stone, which is the most important stone in the games history and what makes a person into Dracula (we will be getting back to that., and the Ebony stone which is a stone that allows the user to envelop its surroundings in eternal night and it was believed to control Death (it can’t). 
Tumblr media
It’s really hard to see but in the center of the old woman’s neck, there’s a star with a round circular object. At the end of the game Lament of Innocence either Dracula or Death had the Ebony stone.
Tumblr media
If this is the stone, it would make sense then that this old woman would be Death in disguise, and explain her desires for killing them all, since the use of the dead would allow for Death to bring back Dracula using Isaac or Hector’s or even Trevor’s body to do so. 
The other important thing to note is that the Belmonts have had a situation where Dracula has possessed them. So this is not beyond the scope for them to try this with Trevor. 
On top of this, the image of Miranda that is used for the cast revel shows Miranda powering up, or using some sort of energy. This energy is a pinkish purple. 
Tumblr media
Why is this important? Well, that color has connections directly to two characters in Castlevania Lore. 
The first is Walter Bernhard, the Vampire that came before Dracula and lead directly to the reason why the Belmonts hunt vampires, and why Dracula exists. During the game Lament of Innocence Walter dies and that color engulfs him as he’s dying (and probably being sucked into the Crimson stone). 
Tumblr media
Same colors, making me think this maybe some form of activation of her using the stone or giving something to Isaac. 
The other option is Death again, where we see him using his powers, which again match the colors that we see Miranda using at this moment. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In both cases, this is when Death is activating his power, and as I said Death can show up in any form. Including an old woman. 
Tumblr media
Ignoring the water, I want to point out the glass shards. It seems like they’re trying to harm Hector or punish him in some way. The glass shards make me think they shattered glass on the bars, and the water might be from a pitcher or something like that over a bucket. It’s clear that they’re treating Hector as nothing but an abused pet for them to play with, and I hope we get to see a stronger Hector break free of that. What has me concerned though is the fact that he’s naked, namely because I wonder if there are some implications of assault going on. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I’m not sure if Hector has a collar on when he’s getting hit by the water. However, we can see that he’s dressed when interacting with Lenore (I’m using the name because it makes sense that this would be her). His hand is out to her probably as she’s tempting him or offering him something and then she pulls him to her and does the “Good Boy” moment. 
It has me thinking that she’s going to add to the issues of distrust that Hector has and that Rosely is going to have to work through during the next season if she’s not in this one. I strongly suspect that this character is going to try to push Hector into helping her out stopping the others or promising to help him only to betray him in the end. 
Tumblr media
So we know this is part of Isaac watching something, and probably has a connection to the green tower that we’re seeing. The reason this is significant is that Isaac ended up using some very strong powers to fight against Hector, and if he’s able to hold back Legion with his army, even subject it to his will, well then this could be an interesting fight if they go deeper into the lore of the Curse of Darkness game. 
Tumblr media
Isaac’s army. So it seems that they’re having Isaac and his army of monsters coming after Legion who is cooped up with that tower. This is known as the Tower of Evermore it’s a sort of Battle arena in the game. So this is probably where Isaac ends up doing a lot of his dirty work in forging devils for his army that he intends to use on the trio and possibly Hector. 
Tumblr media
The moon has always played an important part in Castlevania as a symbol of the mysteries of the night. The fact that we have Isaac on a black horse, cloaked in white (very much all things that could be associated with Death and the supernatural), gives rise to me suspecting that his journey into darkness is going to be happening a lot more significantly going forward. This is probably the same scene as him looking down and him with his monster army facing the tower. 
Tumblr media
I strongly suspect that these are servants or citizens in Japan that were captured by the female Japanese vampire (I think her name was Cho), and they are being saved by the two vampire hunters we see later. It’s clear from this shot that they seemed resigned to their fate as food for her and her minions. This is also more than likely a flashback episode to give backstory to our female vampire hunter that is fighting Alucard. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So here we have the duo that is probably Taka (Toru Uchikado) and Sumi (Rila Fukushima).  So I don’t know what their crests means; I’ve been trying to look that up, and have yet to find a family crest that matches, but more than likely these two are siblings under the same family as Mina Hakuba. Mina, for those that don’t know, Mina is the childhood friend of Soma Cruz, the reincarnation of Dracula. During the time of Aria of Sorrow, Soma came to visit Mina in Japan, as the two seemed to be developing feelings for one another. Mina is the main shrine Maiden of the Hakuba clan, and they helped in the saving of the world and have tied to Alucard. 
We can assume that the fight between Sumi and Alucard happen after their fight with Cho (Japanese Vampire) and that Sumi may have been the one to make it out alive, or that she’s trying to find a way to convert her brother back to normal, ala the whole Order of Ecclesia situation. 
Tumblr media
We know by the image of this scene that she’s outmatched so Alucard, it stands to reason, is going to try to protect her from probably making some bad mistakes and help her find a way to help her brother out, or free him from possibly Carmilla. This very much could be like the Fernandez cousins in Legacy of Darkness. 
In that game, Carrie Fernandez was seeking out a way to save her elder sister Carmilla who had become a Vampire thanks to Actrisa, and is used as an obstacle to get to Dracula for Carrie’s Quest. In this case Sumi takes on the role of Carrie and Taka becomes Carmilla, who was turned and is right now a servant to the Vampires. 
Tumblr media
If these two are set up in that way, then it makes sense why Sumi would be paired with Alucard in this manner. Both are resolved in trying to fix a mistake they made a long time ago, and Sumi probably could become a strong Ally for the team, and more than likely will be returning to Japan after this story concludes. If they are of the clan that Mina’s connected to it means that this could show exactly how Alucard became connected with the Hakuba clan in Japan if Sumi came to destroy Dracula.
 It’s also clear that Taka is probably the one fighting with the vampires in the scene below, and given we only see Sumi later, he’s likely to die or be cursed as a vampire. Which could tie into the idea of why she would travel that far to kill Cho or Dracula himself. 
Tumblr media
Japanese Vampire’s underlings are facing Taka. Interesting design for them as they are more like the zombies from Japanese myths than the traditional vampires which is what Cho is.
Tumblr media
There’s also this fight with a samurai vs Cho and given his armor is not like that of what we see in Taka fighting, this means he’s someone else. He also looks a bit on the white side, so I have to wonder if he’s actually connected to Samurai William who worked for the Emperor at one point. William was an Englishman who became a Samurai in the Emperor's court for a long while, he wrote a book about it. It could be that he’s trying to take her down so that she doesn’t harm the royal family, or he self-styled himself as a vampire killer. 
Either way, this has to be a flashback and connected to the whole situation with Taka and Sumi. 
Tumblr media
So this Ugly looking thing is a piece of Legion. Legion is a rather large monster that is hard to deal with and seconds later we see it crashing down into a church, and cutting to The Judge who seems to be sent at some point to deal with them. 
Tumblr media
So as you can see there, that’s Legion. It’s a huge fleshy body made of many corpse of those that were sacrificed to it. It seems here that rather than just having it crush it’s enemy it’s dropping parts of it as part of the attack. 
Tumblr media
This is in line with its attacks in Curse of Darkness, and how it causes issues for others, with Zombies that explode. On top of this, it’s center is a human-looking being that has a Nuculais in the center. 
Tumblr media
This is probably what Isaac is after, and Germain may be manipulating him to get it for use regarding Dracula. 
Tumblr media
So this poster has a LOT going on. 
First let’s take care of the Stain Germain at the top. He’s being played by Bill Nighy. 
So who is Saint Germain? Well, he’s part of the Time Watcher’s group, whose goal is still mysterious as get out. He’s known to talk and interact with Trevor in the Pachinko versions of Castlevania III, and according to history, he was an alchemist of sorts. 
Tumblr media
During the Curse of Darkness game, he’s trying to stop Hector from stopping Isaac, though he’s not saying why. He is not an enemy and seems to have a hate relationship with Zead (Death), though why that is we don’t know. He’s referenced by Aeon, the time traveler, and he himself mentions events farther in the future, such as the battle with Dracula in 1999. 
What’s interesting here is that they have him holding what possibly is either a philosophers stone or the Crimson Stone. Now this is interesting because that stone is part of Dracula and given to him by Death himself. It holds the Soul of Walter Bernhard, Dracula’s enemy, and is known for being the treasure of the Vampires. Dracula needs this to come back. 
Tumblr media
Why he has it, I can only guess it’s to stop whatever the heck Death has planned. 
Other interesting factors. Hector on the left in Chains mirroring Trevor wrapped up in the Vampire Killer. A lot of Germain’s point is Destiny and both Hector and Trevor want to be free of them. Both are tightly bound, but Trevor is clearly pulling at his, trying to get it to stay away from causing his death. We also see both Sypha and Alucard both looking on in a way that seems to indicate connections to the heroes. 
Then you have Isaac, who is slowly being wrapped up by thorns, but isn’t there yet. So that means his full plunge into the dark isn’t complete. He’s still fighting against it, and it may connect him to the heroes at this point. 
Carmilla is clearly the opposing force here to the good Alucard. And we see that Hector is naked and trapped, though he’s being held lightly by Lenore, who seems to be acting gentle, but something about her look and set up seems to be hiding things. This is not someone that is truly being gentle to him, and, given that she’s probably a succubus, and working for Carmilla, she’s more than likely going to end up breaking his heart in some way. 
Tumblr media
So the Captain as played by Lance Reddick. Not much is known of this guy, but if I have to hazard a guess, he may be connected to Isaac’s story and probably is based around the Captain from Rondo of blood, who pilots a ghost ship and is a later enemy in the game. 
Tumblr media
Another option in regard to this is that the Captain may be the one that brings Isaac back from where he’s at for the moment. He seems to be a bit scared but maybe Isaac sees a kindred spirit in him and intends to use his services fairly as a means of traveling around to get to the location that he needs to. 
Or he’s one of the men that Isaac ends up hating for whatever reason.
Or he’s actually the one that brings Sumi to where Alucard is. It’s a bit hard to judge based on the name the Captain as it doesn’t seem like he’s going to be playing a huge role, but maybe he’s just a nod to the games in this case. Though why hire a well-known actor to play a part without a name if he’s just going to be cannon fodder? 
There’s also the chance that he’s actually the Ferryman, a character who actually goes and transports the heroes in the game. He seems to know Alucard. In the game the Ferryman is neutral, choosing to just help those that need to move around and such. So in that sense, he’s a lot like the ferryman of the river Stix in hades in Greek myth. 
Tumblr media
Though the likelihood is that he’s going to come back as some servant to Isaac. 
Tumblr media
Sala, has an interesting name meaning, in Arabic it means Order. And Sala here is voiced by Navid Negahban.
Now, who Sala is is a mystery but given we have an old crone like figure in Miranda, Sala maybe like the Crystal Trader in Aljiba who exchanges crystals in Simon’s Quest. 
I can only assume for the most part he’s going to be an original character that could have links to maybe the Lords of Shadow versions of Castlevania, but since a lot of this has connections to the original games, and given his appearance, I’m going to guess he’s going to be linked with Isaac and his journey. Namely warning him of going down a dark path, or offering him help and assistance if he can destroy the Legion monster that is plaguing his town. 
Given that he looks rather upset here just a bit, I think he’s in an argument. Now he also could be the leader of the town that Trevor is in, with Sypha, and owns the house that burns down. It’s hard really to say because there’s no other character in the games that quite match him, save the Crystal Traders maybe. 
Tumblr media
Sypha’s change of an outfit is interesting. It’s far more dramatic in nature and more built for a fighter and a bit of a ninja-style, what with the wrap in the middle and the leggings and free-flowing arms. This is really the first we’ve seen Sypha do this with her magic, indicating that she’s getting stronger with her elemental control. 
Tumblr media
So one other interesting thing is the Ice steps in the air. She apparently can create those now. This is probably during the werewolf fight that Trevor has since it’s in the forest. This is probably a deal with the town leaders to get rid of some monsters that are plaguing them. 
Tumblr media
So there’s speculation on who this could be, but it looks like he’s going to just be a cult member, possibly a relation to Orlock or Shaft, both of whom are villains from other games in the franchise. Though he’s clearly human so I’m guessing he probably will be an Original Character for the show.  He’s probably part of a cult that is going to be trying to resurrect Dracula under the Judge. and more than likely will be just a side character to be used as cannon fodder.
Tumblr media
Remember that house that’s on fire with the windows? Well, that’s it in the background. So it seems like the Cult staged something to burn down the town after Trevor beat the hell out of their leader. Or enforcer, or whoever he may be. 
Tumblr media
So recall way above about the Leviathan Cross? And how the two dudes were dressed before Trevor socked them? Well right now we can see that they are clearly part of a cult, and the Levithan Cross is their symbol. But how does that connect to the room? It could very well be that this is the group that Carmilla was referencing earlier along with Isaac. This group could be working for the Judge to bring back Dracula, or they could be working on their own to do so. Either way that room may be connected to this group given the alchemy symbol. 
Tumblr media
However, I’m betting anything that that room may very well be connected to Carmilla’s castle and Hector was the one that drew that. Or one of the other members of the club. 
Tumblr media
Okay, this one is something that keeps bugging me. There is no hint of Grant at all so far in this series. Yet, here we have a werewolf that has the wrappings that he wears in Judgement, minus the spikes, and of all things Grant’s red pants. 
Tumblr media
So a few things about Grant DaNasty. As a noble thief, he was assigned as part of a group to go deal with Dracula and he ended up being transformed into a monster to act as a guard. During Castlevania III he’s freed by Trevor and pledges to help them out and later stays to help rebuild his home. 
Grant was just seen as a demon in the game, but making him a werewolf would tie into the whole Legacy of Darkness, and Circle of the Moon that came later. Also, the spikes on the arms could be used to help climb walls and the like, since Grant is the stealthy one of the group. 
Furthermore, the reason I bring up the red pants is that every human design of Grant has him looking like this. 
Tumblr media
As you can see, bright red pants, much like the werewolf, and wraps on his arm. Now you can easily move the story of Grant from Dracula to Carmilla and have him be her guard. It would make sense too to have Grant be the one to inform Trevor and Sypha of the Cult or Carmilla’s doings. As a thief, he can get in and out faster and get information. Furthermore, it seems the best option when bringing him in as Grant is just as important to the team as Alucard, and maybe more so given he’s the one that stays to clean the messes up. Having his assistance could lead to some interesting moments and also leads later to the Belmont and DaNasty family connections for the future. 
You see this group again, a Belmont, a DaNasty, a Beldanas and Alucard, all teamed up to fight Dracula one last time in 1999, and before then the Belmonts and DaNastys have had a close friendship teaming up at different points in history to fight Dracula and his minions. So not having Grant would be bad. 
So I think, this werewolf will be Grant. Or at least I hope it will be Grant. 
So New Look for Trevor Belmont it seems...
Tumblr media
He’s ditched his original look and now proudly it seems wears the Belmont crest right over his heart, probably indicating that he’s embraced his destiny in helping those in need. there seems to be a bit there connected to the 2008 comic series as well in the upper part of the look. 
Tumblr media
It’s a little more connected to his Curse of Darkness look. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And there’s some going on with the look from the Pachinko games as well...
Tumblr media
So it seems more and more they are leaning into Curse of Darkness for this story. What’s also interesting in this case is that Trevor’s personality has drastically changed. While he’s still rough and tumble we see that he’s more willing to help out, he’s not drinking and he’s asking for help with things rather than just running off and not facing down consequences. 
He’s become a more mature fighter and feels belief again in what he’s doing. What’s going to be fun in watching is how his older self (if he’s at all going to show up in Simon’s story) will behave as a father figure. Simon is the golden boy and in a lot of ways is like his father in that he’s brash and somewhat willing to spoil for a fight. But he has his mother’s gentle nature and is willing to go out of his way to protect those in need. 
So seeing Trevor here, dealing with something that may be way bigger than just Dracula is going to be fun and probably lead him to a better understanding of the cost of Leon Belmont and why he did what he did. 
Tumblr media
So The newest piece of art and again some interesting things. 
Let’s look at the characters. We have our main trio, and oddly Alucard is at the forefront here. He’s not looking sad, but more like he’s looking when talking to Sumi about the situations. Unlike the earlier poster where it’s clear that he regrets killing his father. 
Carmilla and Leigon are flanking him on the two sides, making me think he’s grappling with his actions leading to both these monsters rising because of it. I have to wonder if there’s going to be a moment where Carmilla tries to tempt Alucard, and which of these two are going to be the final boss for this season: Carmilla or Legion. 
 Then there’s Trevor, and he’s using the Vampire killer and wrapping everyone up in its chains, effectively indicating that they’re all wrapped up in this whole destiny thing. Sypha is beside him, but looking ahead, as with Trevor and Alucard, showing that she’s trying to look forward to the future. 
The whip is glowing, as with her magic ball, indicating that there’s going to be more to the magic and history behind the Vampire killer. The fact that Trevor’s using it shows that he’s embraced that destiny for himself and Sypha is beside him. 
Then there are the roses. Typically this indicates love, which is something that has a deep connection to the Castlevania lore. All four characters that are not some evil amalgams monster have some form of love in their lives. Alucard had a familial love for his late mother and father and is dealing with the guilt of loving and losing them. Carmilla has a love of power and life and possibly Lenore, whom she may be doing a lot of mistakes in order to protect. Trevor and Sypha love each other romantically. 
Now another love that happens is tragic love and that could be seen as the love between Leon Belmont and Sara Trantoul, his late fiance who sacrificed herself to create the Vampire Killer (in here the upgraded Morning Star Whip) after she was slowly becoming a vampire when Walter Bernhard captured her and bit her for his own amusement. This same Tragic love was visited twice on Dracula. Once for Elisabetha when he was human as Mathias and she died of illness when he was away during the crusades, causing him to reject god and take up plans to become a vampire. And again when her reincarnation of Lisa came about and died due to her being seen as a witch. 
So Roses can be love, and roses are also connected to Rosaly, Hector’s future wife who was a former nun and a healer for the church. So the images of Roses could be significant in that sense too. 
Then there are the butterflies that we see in the picture. Butterflies don’t normally have any tie to symbols in Castlevania. However, the color might have some connections to Sara Trantoul. 
Tumblr media
Sara always wears blue in Lament of Innocence and is shown to be a kind and gentle soul who became twisted up in a fight between a man that lost the love of his life, and the man that wanted nothing more than the destruction and pain of love for his own amusement. So her being symbolized as a delicate butterfly would make perfect sense, along with the connection to Roses and thorns as we’ve seen with several pictures so far. 
Tumblr media
So that’s it for part one. Part 2 is going to cover more about the scenes in the trailer and hopefully showcase more about the plot moving forward.

It was odd for Lenore, being in 2007 again. Not that there was a whole lot of difference between this time, and her own. Hell, what even WAS her time anyway? She’d lived through countless eras. From bustle skirts, to shoulder pads, to juicy couture track suits. Twenty years was merely the blink of an eye to an immortal. If it weren’t for the rapid growth of her adopted son, she may not have noticed a difference at all.
The charmed one’s didn’t know her in this time, and that was odd. If they were going to take out Lillith though, they were going to need her. They’d catch on eventually.  
In bat form, she didn’t need to be invited inside. Luckily, someone upstairs had left the attic window open a crack, and so Lenore flapped her leathery little wings and flung herself inside. With a puff of black smoke, she materialized into her vampire form. 
“Well. It would appear I’m not as alone as I’d expected.” She smiled a little, leaning a little more towards a smirk. “I assure you, this isn’t what it looks like.”

“Early Trix and TV”
AN: This is nothing but some self-indulgent fluff that I wrote two months ago. It’s between my two ocs - Lillith, a vampire, and Rene, her doctor girlfriend.
THIS IS NOT KINK!! Any kink and nsfw blogs that interact with this post will be blocked.
Warnings: mentions of abusive parents, past abuse.
Rene rolled out of bed, hands fumbling for her glasses. She frowned upon seeing the empty place next to her and made her way down to the living room.
There, wearing a unicorn onesie, was Lillith. Her eyes were wide and fixated on the cartoon she’d put on. Her favorite teddy bear was clutched in one arm, the other occupied with a thumb in her mouth. Coloring pages littered the floor in front of her and crayons were scattered nearby.
Rene beamed as the little giggled at the cartoon characters’ antics, her small mind forgetting the worries of the day and the troubling letter she’d received from her parents.
The doctor frowned a bit as she remembered how upset Lillith had been. The vampire had sobbed for hours and begged for a reason, an explanation, for the cruel words of her parents. Rene hadn’t been able to console her until Lillith had worn herself out – falling asleep in her arms with sniffles and quiet sobs. Rene herself had been upset. Who could tell their own daughter such horrible, terrible things? It was things like that that made her glad that her girlfriend had decided to move out.
Rene had encouraged Lillith’s age regression when she found out about it. She’d assured her that it was normal. “Of course it isn’t weird! Sweetheart, you had a hard childhood, if you can even call it that at all. I’m fine with this. You can be yourself, and your little self, any time.”
Speaking of which.
Rene stopped her reminiscing when she heard Lillith giggling again. “Silly wabbit!” The vampire whispered around her thumb. “Twix awe fow ki-s!” Rene smiled warmly and went to fetch the little’s pacifier.
The woman grabbed a box from a closet in their bedroom, pulling it out and opening it on the bed. Inside were three pacifiers, some chewable necklaces, and a few other little supplies.
Back in the living room, Lillith hadn’t moved much from her previous spot. She swayed slightly from side to side as the cartoon’s theme sang on. “Wolie-polie-ollie! Smaw an smar an roun!”
Rene chuckled and set down the tray of graham crackers and hot cocoa. “Good morning, little one! How’s my Lil?”
“Ren!” Lillith stood and wrapped her arms around her waist, floating them up a few feet. The vampire tended to forget about her powers when in little space. Rene would have her hands full, but it was well worth it for her girlfriend to have some reprieve.
“Rennie! Missed you!” “I was just upstairs, silly! Look, I brought a snack for you.” Lillith gasped and zipped over to the tray, a wide grin on her face. “T’ank you!” She picked up a cracker and carefully broke it along the seams.
“You’re welcome, sweetie. I also brought your paci and sippie cup.” “App juice?” “Yep, apple juice! Your favorite. Now, what are we watching?”
_______________________________________________________________
A few hours later, Lillith was asleep curled up in Rene’s lap. Rene ran her fingers through the little’s hair and gently scratched her scalp. The vampire clutched a stuffed bat and sucked gently on a violet pacifier, humming in her sleep. Rene smiled, Lillith wouldn’t be awake for hours yet, and she would most certainly still be regressed.
If it would help Lillith and give her a break from her horrible parents, Rene would do anything. Besides, she certainly didn’t mind taking care of her. Rene smiled down at her sleeping girlfriend.
She would do anything for her little bat.

follow the bread crumbs
According to this interview, the first year of Boom!verse was already plotted out prior to the announcement/publishing of the first issue. So I decided to go back to the very beginning and see if I could find the clues that lead up to Hellmouth and character beats as the series evolve.
Spoilers/references for the whole series, but starting with Issue 1
The twist is that Xander’s internal monologues are superimposed over shots of Buffy, so the audience assumes it’s Buffy’s thoughts.
“I just think it’s difficult to tell people what’s really going on in my head.”
Xander - but this applies to Buffy and Willow as well. Xander can’t admit to people that he’s depressed and lonely (and says in the beginning that it’s hard for him to make friends - Willow being the notable exception), Willow can’t tell Rose what she’s done for Xander and how it’s changed her as a person and her identity as the Willow that Rose loves is gone, Buffy can’t reveal to her best friends what she’s struggling with as a girl and the Slayer because she feels like she’s losing them anyway.
“Can’t really make a lot of friends when you’re not honest about who you are, I guess.”
Buffy, Willow, and Xander all accuse/point out each other’s difficulties with being truthful - Buffy and Xander about Willow lying to Rose, Willow at Buffy about keeping her Slayer identity secret from everyone else.
“Being strong is a challenge but being vulnerable...feels impossible.”
Vulnerability to certain people specifically: Buffy and Xander can’t admit their respective crushes to each other - Buffy’s on Robin, Xander’s on Buffy. Willow is their shared confidant. Willow tells Xander and Giles about her feelings after the soul-sharing ceremony but doesn’t tell Buffy. Buffy confides to a complete stranger (Angel) the whole past month of issues: Willow possibly ghosting her, her whatever with Robin, her confusion about what her life is outside of being a Slayer.
Cordelia’s popular, effortless charisma cracks in issue #9 when she admits everything is horrible post the Hellmouth opening.
Joyce’s fear in the aftermath of the museum attack, and how to let that side out without Buffy being there. Giles’s brusque, hurtful behavior as he brushes aside Xander’s very valid feelings and stomps all over Jenny’s choices.
The words Stalk, Dare, Library, Strange, Us, Witch are emphasized in Xander and Willow’s dialogue. Incidentally, these are possibly the most clunky faux Whedonism attempts in the comic’s short history. 
Giles’s dialogue to Buffy emphasizes Supposed, Responsibility and he asks her if she understands the concepts of discretion and caution.
Xander comes to her defense and points out that Buffy saved him. Giles dismisses him and Willow and that he needs to talk to Buffy privately. The line between Slayer and Watcher and Everyone Else is explicitly drawn.
In Buffy and Giles’s first argument - he says she needs to do better, and she snaps back how is saving two lives not good enough, and that maybe she could do better but he never stops to think if she’s already doing her best. The phrase not good enough is emphasized - but it’s clear that Buffy is extremely aware of how high the stakes are in her calling, and takes Giles’s criticism personally.
Her next retorts have Pressure to Overachieve, and Teenage Confidence bolded.
Buffy’s character as described by others over the series: Weird, Hot, Deceitful, Self-Absorbed, Troublemaker --
and then Xander’s “I’m so exhausted. When am I going to have some time to find out what I’m about?”
superimposed over Buffy resting on a marble slab.
Xander’s struggle with his vampire identity/human self and the fear that he hasn’t suppressed the monster inside him, and he’ll be in an unfinished state forever. Willow feeling she’s less than she used to be and is a freak - and also incomplete now. Buffy not knowing what she wants to do with her life aside from being the Slayer, and how to deal with her evolving friendships and relationships with her mother, Giles, and even Eric. And presumably, the man in the devil mask, Angel.
“Like, when am I going to know what I want to do with my life? Not just doing what everyone says I’m supposed to do.”
Xander essentially worried about his human soul and if he even has a life to look forward to, Willow chafing under everyone’s assumptions about her and a hard look at who she is and becoming. Buffy struggling with both her and Giles’s expectations for herself and choosing to be the hero she doesn’t think she’s good enough to be. Angel doubting Lillith and Everyfreakingbody Else that he has a specific reason to be in Sunnydale and it’s not just about the end of the world. Giles realizing he’s compartmentalized Buffy over everything else in his life and how damaging that is, almost too late.
Spike being used to doing whatever Dru commands he do, his whole unlife is devoted and because of her. If he’s not Dru’s, who is he?
This panel is drawn so we’re looking down on Buffy as she is in a fetal position splayed on a slab, but the background makes it look like she’s in a pit, with crosses prominently displayed.
Religious symbolism and Buffy as a Christ type figure implications continue to pop up in the next issue.
“Guess it doesn’t matter what I want, there’s always something more important.”
Xander lists the various connections people have in life and laments that he’s not good at any of them - and these are overlaid on scenes of Buffy fighting in a cemetery ‘ particularly Parent to please, and Friend who needs you.
Both of them have issues with these connections - Xander feels abandoned and misunderstood by his friends (and presumably family) and they don’t need him as much as he needs them, Buffy is afraid she’s not good enough for the expectations her friends and family have for her.
Anya’s whole dialogue:
“...no one wants to accept responsibility for creating something so heinous. Absolute immortality. Of course, you’re a vampire. But you’re not actually immortal, are you? It’s beautiful that even cursed to live forever, you’re still mortal in so many ways.”
Hello, Drusilla, Angel, and Spike.
“Beasts and men are quite alike.” 
Issue 10 deals with the Sunnydale men enthralled by Drusilla and turning on each other.
A banner on Sunnydale highschool reads, WelcomeEat Freshmen - in Hellmouth, one of the students is killed by Drusilla at the school. Don’t know if she was a freshman, but her life was eaten.
Hanging out with the Scoobies:
Batboy - a possible reference to Camazotz, the bat god who helps slayers, or Bat Man - er, Angel.
Buffy’s response: “I’ve yet to meet Batboy but that doesn’t mean he’s not out there, looking for a friend.”
In Angel, much is made about Angel needing to go to Sunnydale and making ‘friends.’ (And then we learn in the free comic book day story, that he and Anya were murder friends.)
Buffy says to Willow - “Anyone could be a witch! Even you, Willow. It’s just about having the right spellbooks and sacrificing to the right Dark Lord, I think.” 
Willow muses that “some are probably beautiful, kind, sensitive, [and] smart.”
Those are pretty much words Rose has used to describe her.
“Please, I get it from all sides as it is. I just want to have a normal night, with normal people and feel like a normal teenager.”
Famous last words, Buffy. Neither her, Willow, or Xander get to be normal in the issues to come.
Anya reveals she does business with Wolfram and Hart, who show up in Angel Issue #6, most notably Lilah.
Drusilla’s ending words. “No, Anya. I think I’ll take what I want now.”
And that’s her character in a power suit wearing nutshell.

Can I ask you about your long ass salty list of everything wrong with Shadowhunters?
i’ve been waiting for someone to ask me this for 500 years!!!! @ anyone who’s going to come at me for this list: don’t. i still watch the show for whatever godforsaken reason. this list is made with the explicit knowledge that this show still owns my ass to some degree or whatever. everything after the first point is under a read more so that you don’t have to scroll through my bitching if you don’t want to. 
heels. “oooh, izzy can fight demons in six inch heels its so empowering!” no it’s not stfu. i did martial arts for ten years and i can tell you right now thats bs. combat boots? seems okay to me, still not the best choice but you know more practical than FUCKING HEELS. 
izzy’s whip as literally the Least Practical Weapon. pls just keep it as a staff and use that. jesus. 
while we’re (still) on the topic of izzy she’s supposedly suuuuuuuper smart but that information pops up once in a blue moon instead of being, oh, i dunno, her fucking team role. 
where is bat
clary having the blandest fucking lines and choices. she sounds like a stock photo on steroids. the most interesting thing she said all of last season was when she was reanimating valentine and went “but it’s MY will” like yeah go off clary be interesting for once in your life
jace and clary are so uninteresting and its not for lack of trying/chemistry on the part of sherwood and mcnamara its just because the show is following 100 different plot lines so all they have time to say is “oh you always have charcoal in your pockets clary” no she doesn’t
simon and raphael. the whole plotline. was. dumb. simon can walk in the sun now and everyone else is just. supposed to accept that he found the cure for vampire cancer but isn’t sharing and ooooh, everyone else is the bad guy for trying to also find the cure for vampire cancer. 
lillith was the least intimidating and unexciting villain i’ve ever seen. all she did was wear too much red lipstick and talk about how she’d do anything to bring back her son oooooh like okay. cool. where’s the pizzazz. where’s the fear. i can’t decide if this one is bad acting or bad writing or both. her entire character feels like sliced white bread in that there’s so many exciting flavors of bread you could have gone for and instead you went for the one that no matter what sauce or condiments you put on it it remains a glob of boringness. 
i have some gentle thoughts about magnus and alec that i can’t even say because the malec fandom is like a non-discriminating hammer coming down against me, a simple oreo. 
oh sure, raphael is going to torture a girl and use her as his personal blood bank experiment. that’s exactly what raphael, the guy who let a mundane go despite the terror of his boss camille would do. torture a baby vampire. yeah. 
b a t ?
oh and clary can use raziel’s wish - which is honestly the equivalent of the shadowhunter’s nuclear option - for a personal resurrection and everyone’s like ooooh i would have done the same for people i care about, you’re okay, thanks for telling us, it must be so hard to be you, but the vampires aren’t allowed to care about, you know. their immortal night creature curse and all. 
everything about the yin fen storyline….everything……everything……..
izzy says “big brother” when talking to alec like she’s a robot that’s trying really hard to be human but doesn’t know how to…she’s the la croix of acting. feels like she should be the real thing but tastes like she’s just thinking really hard about the real thing. 
seelie queen. still no explanation for why they slapped that mark on simon. “she felt like it” “she’s fascinated by simon” okay but those aren’t Reasons. those aren’t even trying to be a Compelling Plot
the HUGE amounts of makeup every female shadowhunter has slapped on their face…we’re really not even pretending their primary use is fighters, huh. not at all. 
WHERE DID BAT GO????
i’m sure i have more but my mind still hasn’t moved on from my utter hatred of women fighting in heels supposedly being empowering. in conclusion: the only good and consistent characters are rebecca lewis and maia roberts. in more conclusion: the last time this show was good and heading towards Compelling Plot was in s1 with the world inverted episode and that’s the Truth. goodnight and goodbye.

A new TS3 Legacy!
Lillith Frost is a vampire. She comes from a long line of vampires. Her parents favored her more evil sister. Not that Lillith is a goody-two-shoes but still, not evil enough for their liking. When she turned 18 she wanted to get away from her mostly crappy family. They said good riddin’s then, fend for yourself...so that is what she is going to do. She hopped a bus to a town that sounds perfect for the likes of her, Midnight Hollow! It’s dark, has all kinds of Sims and prides itself on that fact. Supernaturals can even be out in the open and no one bats an eye. 
She wants to Turn the town! Drink from at least 20 Sims and turn at least 5 Sims into vampires. Spread the vampire goodness! Or darkness...
She is very artistic and loves to have her nose stuck in a book. She also has plenty of thoughts on which to brood and is usually rather grumpy. She also loves the night. (Artistic, bookworm, brooding, grumpy, night owl). Her favorites are O+, Dark Wave music and the color red. She is an Aquarius. 
She currently has nothing to her name but her clothes and her cell phone. How will she get on in Midnight Hollow and make a name for herself?

Vampires (Improved)
For my first posted legend, I will be talking about vampires. This was an easy decision because of personal interest as well as already having info on the myth.
A vampire is essentially any kind of creature that feeds on life essence. Technically, this is the only requirement. Because of this, there is a huge number of variations on the vampire. For example, before the nineteenth century vampires are depicted as bloated and dark, totally opposite to modern pale and gaunt vampires. Vampires have existed in legend since the dawn of civilization, with early Mesopotamians depicting creatures attempting to drink blood on their pottery.
Tumblr media
Pictured: Mesopotamian Vampire Pottery
Vampires are also present in the early Hebrew faith. Lillith, the first wife of Adam, is said to be the queen of demons who has the vampiric trait of feeding on the blood of babies. The Greeks had their own version of the vampire, but it was only one person and was not considered undead. Empusa was the daughter of Hecate, goddess of magic, and survived by drinking the blood of the men she seduced. This is very similar to recent historical vampires such as Lord Ruthven from The Vampyre. Much like Empusa, Ruthven subsists by seducing women into loving him then slaughtering them and drinking their blood. This is particularly interesting to me because even before the British view of sex being an impure act altered the vampire legend, the creatures were still seen as seductive.
Tumblr media
Pictured: Art of Lillith
India as well has a creature that exhibits several traits of the vampire. Vetalas are undead souls that died with an affliction like insanity that come back and inhabit bodies in the living world. Much like vampiric bats, they hang upside down from trees during the day time. This is potentially where that part of the legend is drawn from!
Tumblr media
Pictured: Indian Vampire
The vampire legend is still adapted today for the purpose of whatever story it is a part of. For example, the japanese series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure by Hirohiko Araki turns the vampire myth on its head. Instead of having vampires exist as a separate legend, they instead are an evolutionary step for humans. Vampires in this story are formed when certain areas of the brain are pierced simultaneously, unlocking the potential of the body. This is totally contrary to the general myth of vampires being formed by consuming another’s blood. This is important because it shows that the legend is still evolving.
Tumblr media
Pictured: Dio from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
How many stories can you say have persisted from the start of civilization and have continued to change? Besides this example, vampires have changed dramatically in recent years. They have gone from ugly, vile monsters to man candy in the modern day. If you compared Edward Cullen to a vampire from two hundred years ago, you would hardly find any similarities. The similarities you would find, however, are the ones that would make it obvious they are both vampires: feeding off of life essence and general aversion to sunlight. This will conclude my first post on vampires. Tune in next time, when I discuss another myth!

Vampires
For my first posted legend, I will be talking about vampires. This was an easy decision because of personal interest as well as already having info on the myth. A vampire is essentially any kind of creature that feeds on life essence. Technically, this is the only requirement. Because of this, there is a huge number of variations on the vampire. For example, pre nineteenth century vampires are depicted as bloated and dark, totally opposite to modern pale and gaunt vampires. Vampires have existed in legend since the dawn of civilization, with early mesopotamians depicting creatures attempting to drink blood on their pottery. Vampires are also present in the early Hebrew faith. Lillith, the first wife of Adam, is said to be the queen of demons who has the vampiric trait of feeding on the blood of babies. The Greeks had their own version of the vampire, but it was only one person and was not considered undead. Empusa was the daughter of Hecate, goddess of magic, and survived by drinking the blood of the men she seduced. This is very similar to recent historical vampires such as Lord Ruthven from The Vampyre. Much like Empusa, Ruthven subsists by seducing women into loving him then slaughtering them and drinking their blood. This is particularly interesting to me because even before the British view of sex being an impure act altered the vampire legend, the creatures were still seen as seductive. India as well has a creature that exhibits several traits of the vampire. Vetalas are undead souls that died with an affliction like insanity that come back and inhabit bodies in the living world. Much like vampiric bats, they hang upside down from trees during the day time. This is potentially where that part of the legend is drawn from! The vampire legend is still adapted today for the purpose of whatever story it is a part of. For example, the japanese series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure by Hirohiko Araki turns the vampire myth on its head. Instead of having vampires exist as a separate legend, they instead are an evolutionary step for humans. Vampires in this story are formed when certain areas of the brain are pierced simultaneously, unlocking the potential of the body. This is totally contrary to the general myth of vampires being formed by consuming another’s blood. This is important because it shows that the legend is still evolving. How many stories can you say have persisted from the start of civilization and have continued to change? Besides this example, vampires have changed dramatically in recent years. They have gone from ugly, vile monsters to man candy in the modern day. If you compared Edward Cullen to a vampire from two hundred years ago, you would hardly find any similarities. The similarities you would find, however, are the ones that would make it obvious they are both vampires: feeding off of life essence and general aversion to sunlight. This will conclude my first post on vampires. Tune in next time, when I discuss another myth!
