Immortal husband who also can revive from the dead. Dracula really could have avoid much pain if he just stuck with Death and not get in relationships with mortals.

something something this is why death eventually disguised himself as seward

First Mathias loses his wife. Then through his own selfish actions drives away his best friend and fellow alchemist. Death must have worked overtime to console Mathias in his loneliness after losing so many relationships in short time and enjoyed every moment

Ngl the more I think about it the more I think Death took a vampire sire role for Mathias. Taking care of him before he could take care of himself, providing him with blood, protecting him, guiding him... teaching him how to be a vampire. ❤️ Helping him cope and deal with his grief and anger and all the emotions that become stronger and more twisted as the vampirism takes over. ❤️ Helping him through the pain of his changing body, offering him warmth as his blood grows cold. ❤️

But while in the relationship between a vampire sire and their "child", the vampire sire is the one in power... here, it's the "child" who is being worshipped. He is the one with power, and Death is more than ready to submit. He just takes his role of raising Mathias to become the Dark Lord he is fated to be very seriously. Soon Mathias is "back to normal" again. He can think for himself, he can control himself, he does not need Death to be his sire anymore. Death can then fully embrace his position as a servant... except Mathias won't let him. Because Mathias doesn't need a servant at such a lonely time. He needs a friend. So Death quickly becomes that friend to him, a confidant, even. And yes, he enjoys every moment of the whole process. ❤️

Chances are that Death did not expect such emotional vulnerability from his new Lord... not that he expected to grow so fond of him. :) And so their friendship grew, and considering Death will try to resurrect his Lord without he himself really wanting it, and also offer him his soul two times in order to make him stronger... I think it's safe to say he became quite a bit obsessed with him. Truly the hubby of all time. ❤️

Anyway the mental image of Death consoling Mathias lives rent free in my head and I am 🥺ing very hard right now 😭 (and yeah Mathias is an absolute disaster and I love him for it ❤️)

About the Lament of Innocence manga...

"Certainly full of episodes​ not depicted in the game. Including Death's perspective​ of first time meeting Mathias who later be his master."

Hey, Deathula fans! Fun fact about the word 見初める.

It has more than one meaning for your enjoyment :D

Real reason the manga is now lost. The world was not ready for Mathias/Death content v.v

#castlevania #akumajou dracula #Deathula #Obviously in context it only meant see/meet #Or the blogger was a deathula fan #shitpost kinda

Existence was a lonely affair, for Death. He was created at the beginning of time, only bound to collect departed souls and to the avatar of his Creator. He was feared, he obeyed: that was the beginning and the end, and Death knew no more, and simply did what he was made for, without anything else touching his mind.

Master Bernhard was an excellent ally, when it came to providing souls: his little, petty games always ended with one or two souls for Death to collect. He took no joy in separating parents from children, or betrothed from one another, but it was the purpose of his existence. That, however, did not make for enjoyable company. Master Bernhard was far too self-conceited to strike a conversation with whom he looked as a servant. It was alright with Death, as he himself was not one to waste words for those who did not deserve them.

Then, one day, Master Cronqvist completed the Crimson Stone, and Death bowed to the newborn vampire not without curiosity. What sort of Lord would he become? One hungry for power? One who longed for solitude? A benefactor for his subjects? It was new: and for the first time in centuries, the spark of excitement ignited in Death's ribcage.

What Master Cronqvist, and then Dracula, ended up being, was a friend.

Death was reticent in borrowing such paltry human terms, but he figured that it fit their situation. Master Dracula spent his first centuries as a vampire in relative peace, building up power, only feeding when necessary - a far cry from Death's former master - and striking conversations with him. He was eager to know more about the world, and he relied on Death's ancestral knowledge and wisdom, to give him advice on how to rule on the land, or simply because for the longest time, the two of them were the only being in Master Dracula's own castle. It suit Death just fine: his Master made for enjoyable company.

But Master Dracula seemed to be a more magnanimous vampire than his predecessor, because he eventually fell in love. Death took care of his Master's human wife, and his hybrid son when he came to light. For reasons he could not explain, Death kept feeling a twinge of repulsion at the sight of Master Dracula smiling at the woman, but he kept quiet, for his Master's joy is what he existed for. And so, for the first time since he could remember, he regretted taking a human soul - the one who plunged his Master into despair. Still, Death never left Master Dracula's side, and collected all the souls of the victim of his grief, aware that for the world he was nothing but a monster, but for Death, he was but a lonely man in need of comfort.

And then the Belmont slew his Master, with the same weapon that had slashed Death centuries prior.

How could have Death failed him? The vampire's soul returned to the abyss, far where Death couldn't reach him; but it still beckoned to him, his closest servant, to be brought back.

He could not allow it. He worked tirelessly on a plan to revive the Lord. He had to, he had to bring Master Dracula back to the human world, where he belonged...!

The useless Devil Forgemasters frustrated all of his efforts.

No matter what Death did, Master Dracula spent more time dead than alive. And Death worked alone, collecting souls, waiting until the time was right... missing him.

The notion was laughable. Master Dracula was a mere child, compared to the eons Death had existed for. He served him, because he had to, but surely he couldn't have left an impact that strong in a few centuries.

No, he eventually was forced to accept. He was not only bound by duty. What pushed him to try everything in his power, manipulating unwitting humans, striking alliances with the odd Belmonts, slaying wayward vampires who dared to take his Lord's place, was the joy that resonated in his core when his Master rose back from his ashes. Every time he was called back by the greed of humans, Master Dracula was more wan, his eyes more sunken, his fangs longer and sharper; but he always greeted Death with a smile, as if no time ever passed for him.

But it passed for Death. Even an ancestral being such as him could feel the weight of a mere century, if spent alone without the only creature he could call a friend.

The sight of the young human clad in white was a blow to his ribcage. Death will never, ever forgive the Belmont clan, who forced him to fight that weak, pitiful, haughty boy who no longer had any memories of his old confidant.

One-sided (kinda) Deathula

Death swears eternal devotion to Dracula, offers his heart body and soul (sometimes literally) to Dracula.

Dracula care for Death as his most closest companion but thinks Death wouldn't reciprocate his feelings as a demon Death only respect power.

Death betraying Walter? Oh, that is only because of the Crimson Stone/saw potential in Mathias.

Death working to revive Dracula no matter how many times Dracula is defeated? Oh, there probably isn't any other Dark Lord candidate and Death is just stuck with him.

Dracula was asleep and didn't know Death could have sided with Brauner if he just wanted a new master and Death is too embarrassed to admit Brauner took over the castle without him noticing.

Dracula craves companionship, and what is better than an immortal being always at his side but it's not the same if he only serve him for his powers. Death meanwhile wonders what he could possible do to make his feelings more obvious and not just dismiss it as merely being a loyal servant.

TLDR: Dracula and Death is mutually in love, but Dracula is convinced it's one-sided to Death's eternal frustration.

#castlevania #akumajou dracula #deathula #Isaac have more of a chance with Dracula #But Death would murder Isaac in that case #“The others may have qualities I do not. But a simp when I am right here!?!?”

[the-crow-binary]

Hi! In scenarios where Dracula gets together with Isaac and/or Hector, what would Death's reaction be? This is just my Deathula self wanting to see that (つω⊂* )

Oh Death <3 Dracula's first, eternal simp <3 His forever husband <3 I bet seeing him get with Lisa was already hard enough, but then with his general(s)?? When he's right here?? :< Rude. :< It's not Hector nor Isaac who betrayed their old Lord to give him his soul :< It's not them who've been by his side for 400 years and protected him and nourrished him and guided him and helped him become who he is today :< What the hell? :<

He wouldn't say anything, of course, but Dracula starts to know him after living together for 400 years. It's obvious he is unhappy, even though all he wants is his master's satisfaction and happiness... and mouth and body and soul and love and

But even though, and he's the first surprised by that, he'd be a bit jealous... he also knows that Isaac and Hector are humans, and so, momentary :) They'll never develop the bond he already shares with Dracula, one that only immortal beings can understand. Dracula can have all the affairs he wants with mortal people, in the end, it doesn't matter, because he's always going to be The One. His only companion in eternity. Dracula always comes back to him no matter what, and Death is patient... a few decades are nothing in the face of eternity. <3

#even while in another relationship Dracula loves Death in a way he could never love a mortal being and that alone makes Death very happy. <3 #i am not over how desperate for Dracula to come back Death is in GoS #how he is so happy to see him again #he literally said he waited for what felt like 'an eternity' :< #he loves his lord so much what used to be a short time for his immortal life turned into torture :< #it's even said that Death desires his master's resurrection more than HE does #I WANT TO HUG HIM SO BAD. DRACULA YOU NEED TO CHERISH HIM MORE #he wanted to fight for him but Dracula said 'no i wanna have fun' smhhhhh #he even offers his soul to him because Dracula was just resurrected and haven't recovered yet and he's so worriiiiiied aaaaaaaaaa #though Dracula too shows that he cares about Death <3 #'Death... All right then. Your loyalty won't be forgotten.' boys just kiss PLEASE #(ok this will happen only in the future but huh who cares it's still Deathula content <3) #(i don't see them having any other dynamic. <3) #vlad dracula tepes #death castlevania #akumajou dracula #isaac laforeze #cod hector #deathula

[beevean]

The games are called (Aria and Dawn) of Sorrow because it's Death's sorrow that Dracula is gone for good, and while his soul is around he's not the same v.v. Shush about the Japanese titles.

Death doesn't utter a word in either Sorrow game because if he did, he would burst into tears that his hubby reincarnated into a rude Japanese twink.

Truly, the most tragic character in CV.

Hi! You know how Death has human disguises? I'm a 100% one-sided Deathula shipper and I'd like to imagine that Death decided to go blonde/light-haired in his latest disguise because he wanted to emulate Dracula's official wives. Gosh, he's really picky about who his Dark Lord can be because only Dracula can satisfy him <3. Oh! But what do you think of his Grimoire design? Any opinions?

Heyo, Deathula shippers unite 👀💕 (although in my vision it's fully reciprocated, Dracula appreciates his immortal bestie 🥰)

I mean. It's certainly an improvement over his first human disguise.

So you're telling me that the sickly pale, bald dude clad in black from neck to toe, whose name is literally Death backwards, is actually Death??? 😱 He was lucky Hector was too blinded by his gigantic hateboner for Isaac to put two and two together :V

Yeah, this disguise is much easier on the eyes. The regal purple suit reminds me of Olrox lol. And now I'm afraid I will always picture John Seward from Dracula's book like this :P

Also, thank you for making me imagine Death turning into Leon at Dracula's request. My man loves his fair-haired pretty boys, after all :P

"Gosh, he's really picky about who his Dark Lord can be because only Dracula can satisfy him <3" oh, is that why he was so salty that he had to resort to Isaac to resurrect Dracula? Why he was adamant that no, Hector had to be the one to be pimped out so that Dracula would enter his body and all? Yeah, that makes perfect sense 👀

#deathula #we're reaching levels of love triangles that ya novels in the 2010s could only dream of

[beevean]

Death in LoI: I am loyal to my lord! Later, as Lisa is pounding that vampire ass Death: I-sniff- am loyal to my lord-sigh!

At least he'll have his revenge in Portrait of Ruin, when he'll fulfill his life(?)long dream of going inside Dracula

#castlevania #deathula

[beevean]

Death talked about Dracula entering Isaac's body and later on he will enter Dracula's body. Death do be kinda kinky

It becomes even better when you remember that Death's original plan involved Hector

Death planned to pimp Hector out to Dracula so that his master could enter his favorite student's body. This is canon. There is no hyperbole here.

and of course, who can forget Death entering Dracula's body in PoR, best boss of all time <3

those two were up to some freaky shit, let me tell you

#castlevania #deathula #dracula is much hornier than i gave him credit for #no wonder isaac is like that he learned from his master

[beevean]

Death x Dracula

vomit / don’t ship / ok/ cute / adorable / sexy / perfect / beyond flawless / hot damn / screaming and crying / i will ship them in hell

VILLAIN/SIMP SHIP! MY ONE WEAKNESS!!

Death, the Simp of all time, moving heaven and hell for the sake of resurrecting Dracula, considered his sole confidant and best friend in the text <3

And what about that one time Death entered inside Dracula to give him the coolest monster form in the series? Yeah how about that? peak moment if you ask me

And they were together for 1000 years <3 Dracula can never rest for too long without Death bringing him back <3 relationship goals <3

#castlevania #deathula #obligatory fuck nfcv for making death manipulate dracula #and giving their dynamic to n!isaac for no reason
