What would you rank the empresses/hermitgirls based on how good they are at giving blowjobs
i unfortunately havent indulged in empires (maybe during the next hc season break? 🤔) However I can give you my hermitgirls/trafficgirls list
• stress -> I think stress is very enthusiastic. she gives off big pleasure/soft/mommy dom vibes and she loves to make her boys feel good.
• gem -> gem's sooo pretty and she knows it. she's not just good with her mouth, she makes sure to keep eye contact and dirty talk whenever she comes up for air and always makes sure to wrap her pretty hands around whatever she can't fit in her mouth.
• false -> me: "do you have any reasoning for false being 3rd?" mrs. w: "im picturing her blowing me and it's pretty great idk."
• pearl -> pearl is shy! and stuttery! and cutes!! im going into this thinking cc! and while she loves being on her knees and she tries her hardest I think she might just get too nervous and end up choking a little. also sensitive gag reflex which idk if that's true like at all but to me it is.
• cleo -> I don't think she's *bad* at giving head but I do think she's mean about it. I'm a big dom-exclusive cleo truther and I think she'd definitely prefer to receive rather than give. (That's code for she'll laugh at their dick beforehand and 90 percent of it is just her jacking them off while making fun of their pathetic little sounds.)
• lizzie -> lizzie is married to a woman and therefore doesn't give blowjobs. next question.

You have opened my eyes to the power of jar and hermit fursonas I need more plz I love them so much (also if you want a specific request maybe a pixlriffs? But I didn't see him much scrolling so if he's not someone you draw it's no big deal I just feel like he gets so little love) also do you ship Cleo with anyone?
Tumblr media
here's a lil furry Pix for you! it's my first time drawing him and i really should make an effort of branching out and drawing more cool people other than my main blorbos.
i'm glad you're enjoying both jar and my furries!! i really enjoy drawing both animal people and silly ships yippee,, and i don't really watch Cleo so i don't ship them with anyone myself, but apart from jleo and clethubs i really enjoy their dynamic with Pearl. whatever the ship name is.

On board of spacecraft Sheriff-2, the mood is shifted slightly from what it used to be like for the last couple of weeks. They are approaching their final destination. Jimmy looks at the man tenderly combing his honorary co-pilot's fur and thinks to himself what a shame this is: he had never had a passenger as pleasant and entertaining as Skizz.
JIMMY: Are you sure you want to go there, Skizz? Norman and I can take you to Leonida or Pandora or something...
SKIZZ: Of course I want to go there, man! It's my first job away from the Solar system! And my buddy is waiting for me.
JIMMY: That's... An interesting choice for the first time outside. Satellite hermits are weird fellas.
SKIZZ: Wha... "Satellite hermits"?
JIMMY: You've never heard that?
SKIZZ: No, what's that?
One of the lamps on the control panel lights up — someone's trying to communicate.
[???]: (static)
[???]: Minecrea Central — Sheriff-2, I've got your ping, see you orbiting. Landing pad is free, you're clear for landing. Hi Tim!
JIMMY: ..Well, you're about to become one, apparently!
Skizz raises a brow. Jimmy puts on his headgear and turns on the microphone.
JIMMY: Sheriff-2 — Minecrea Central, got it, preparing for landing. Hi Griaaan.
JIMMY: Imma need to turn off gravity simulation, do me a favor and go lock yourself in a passenger cabin. And bring Norman with you, please!
SKIZZ: Ay-ay captain!
SKIZZ (after a pause, in a small voice) : Is it gonna be as bad as take off?
JIMMY: No. (smile) It's a bit worse.
SKIZZ: Oh...
["Satellite hermits" is an unofficial nickname for people working on Europa, Callisto, Titan and many other satellites of big planets. There's a certain pattern of finding life and/or useful resources on moons of gas giants, and the job can be quite isolating.]
______________
I finally have time to talk about my hc AU, yaaay!! :D

Brief crash course for HBomb94 (not Hbomberguy!) + Hermits for those unfamiliar with him:
H is a MCC player and the Sands of Time VOD reviewer. He’s a core member of the MCC community and he’s why players say “Hi HBomb” before SoT
H teams with the hermits frequently to the point it’s a meme: H collects the hermits (he’s teamed with most of the MCC hermits— False, Ren, Grian, Pearl, Cub, Gem, Scar, Impulse) and he gets adopted by the hermits
In MCC, he’s known for having the “H factor” which states his presence boosts his teammates’ scores. He’s a fantastic leader and he keeps the morale up.
H is in Iskall’s Vault Hunters series— this is probably his most direct link to HC. H was invited after Ren met him when they teamed in MCC9, so yeah, that’s part of the Blue Bats’ legacy.
H is a big fan of Hermitcraft and he’s watched many hermits before— there’s more of his fanboying in his watch of Grian’s HC7 world tour
H sometimes teams with hermits outside of MCC in various e-sports events, but most of the team ups are in MCC
H was the one who predicted False popping off in Dodgebolt back in August 2020 when they hadn’t met yet
H was the team leader for MCC9 Blue Bats (H, Fruitberries, False, Ren) and he truly believed in all of them as a team even though False and Ren had gotten 9th like three times in a row, and they had an amazing legendary underdog victory. Probably the best MCC hermit victory ever (but I’m obviously biased haha).
Since then, H has teamed with the hermits many times, and they’ve won multiple times (Blue9 with False and Ren, Aqua20 with Gem, Aqua29 with False and Cub)
He played in irl MCC Twitch Rivals with Scar, Gem and Impulse (and possibly met Tango there in person)
H is a huuuuuge fanboy of the hermits in general and he’s always so proud and happy to team with them. He’s like “IT’S ME AND MY HERMITS! :D”. He’s vocally supportive and encouraging of the hermits in MCC (even when they were underestimated and seen as cannon fodder).
While H is an honorary hermit, it’s a different way from, let’s say, Skizz, because H isn’t in the Life series / Empires, he’s not a builder / redstoner— he’s like the MCC / SoT guy. He’s beloved among the MCC hermits, and the hermits and H are enthusiastic about each other.
Sands of Time and Decked Out have been frequently compared to each other, Grian even mentioned to H at the end of MCC18 that he got his ravager dodging skills from Decked Out 1
H being on HC is very exciting not only because H is a big hermit fan, he’s also not on Life series / Empires like the rest of the guests, so he has less of a connection to Tango personally, but they still invited him ^_^

It’s almost fascinating how one Jimmy Solidarity can endear himself to so many people on one single server that he’s not even on! What’s his secret? I mean… have you seen the guy? Look at his little smiley face!
He’s of course known Grian and Pearl for a long time, and knew Mumbo from that. Then of course Last Life solidified that, and added Impulse to the mix.
Grian introduced him to Scar, who he clicked with instantly, and he met Gem on Empires, and then there was the whole thing with Double Life and Tango, who also introduced him to Zed, which solidly landed him an honorary spot on Team ZIT. And then Limited Life happened and he got introduced to Cleo and Bdubs through Scar.
It was when Skizz and Joel, two more who love Jimmy, also joined HC that they all realized it was almost freaky how Jimmy had landed in the hearts of so many hermits, basically on accident!
So now he has a special pass to get on the server, and other than obviously visiting all his partners, he’s also taking advantage of it to get to know the others too. Can’t leave the job half done!
He feels like he might need to make his visits more frequent because he's in such high demand. He doesn't want to leave anybody out, which is especially hard as he meets new hermits.
Joel likes to boast how he gets extra time with Jimmy since they're on another server together, so Jimmy has purposely ignored him once or twice. He's trying to keep things fair, he doesn't need Joel rocking the boat! They can have plenty of cuddles afterwards.

LE GASP THANKSSSSSS
Sadly, I did not put Fable in here, have herad of it, and maybe I'll dig into it and add it later
BUT NOW LETS TALK
Athena and Ares Kids
False- Favored daughter of Athena. Best War strategist, greatest Archer of her siblings. Her father died when she was young, leaving her defenseless. Single-handedly got to camp at the age of 6. Oldest member of camp. Joined the Hunt at 16.
Etho- Always planning something. Typical gray eyes, used to have black hair. Went on a quest and came back with a scar, white hair, and very broody. Disappeared after a few years- unknown.
Gem- Gets along great with the Demeter cabin. Came to camp with Sausage, Fwhip, and Zed and now they are all honorary found family. Great swordswoman. Joined the Hunt at 14.
Impulse- Smart. Great tinkerer and craftsmen. His Dad was an inventor, and alive. Can craft almost anything, honorary brother of Hephaestus cabin and Skizz. Tango and he get into lots of fire trouble. Not the best at being strategy smart, or good at fighting, but great with people.
Pearl- Greatest daughter of Ares. Blood-thirsty. Has several mood swings. Great with plants, love playing pranks, and loves fighting the best. Knows how to weild several weapons. Once fought her own father and won. Came to camp when she was 8. Don't talk about her dad.

Tapl- great Archer, and that's kinda it. Knows how to get out a situation. Very bored. Wished his dad was Apollo.
Techno- Greatest son of Ares. One of the few people who can beat Pearl, Liz, False, and Dream. Wished he was a son Athena. Doesn't like his dad. Tries to not be bloody thirsty like his dad, but in the heat of battle- well. Was brought to camp by Phil. In college. Mom died at War.
Xisuma- Veteran camper. Basically the adult supervision. Has the best plans. Took False in and helped her, along with several others, dubbing themselves as Hermits. Has a stygian sword, gift from Hades and Joe after helping them in the Underworld- yes he's been to the underworld, he's been to several places. Waves the fans off- but let's be real this guy was SICK back in his day.

Welsknight- Doesn't like his dad, but understands the honor and need of War. Man came from a line of knights, holds up chivalry. Veteran person. Visits sometimes. Best friends with X, went on several adventures with him, like that time he held up the sky or killed a hydra or fought a Titan- ya know stuff.
Quig- Uses sword and only sword. Quick, in everything. Doesn't like to talk much. Great friends with Pete. In college. Dad died in shooter stampede. Hates guns.
Pete- Veteran camper. Earned a chariot in battle. Has pet birds. Great Archer and sword fighter. Green eyes that can peirce the soul or make you eat your vegetables.
Pigical- Also doesn't like his dad- surprising I know. Uses fast and nimble combat. Tries to be a pacisft. Weak. Very kind though. His mom banished him.
Boffy- most cruel son of Ares. Uses a scythe. Great fighter, but also very dangerous. Rumors said he tortured his victims, enjoying death. Disappeared. No one knows where, hopefully not to the enemy.
Muka- carries a gun. Son of Ares with modern weapons. Has a pet mechanical wolf. Disappeared, but more of a loner. Found the other camp, kinda just chills. Great mom visits regularly.

i would love too know more about ren cus i love him, even just the silliest thing pretty pls if u want obviously
(also i was going to say something about martyn and then realize "oh fuck hes not an actual hermit" 😭😭 the honorary hermit role hits too hard)
Mmmm, if you still want a Martyn mention (you might start to realize I like 3rd life a lil' too much);
I would bet that Ren and Martyn are childhood friends.
They would've, at some point, taken notice of Ren's weird demigod abilities (Martyn is the first to notice because I've officially decided he can also see through the Mist as a mortal) and they would both chalk it up to those 'superhero abilities' you see in movies and cartoons.
So, with their love for stories and theatrics, they basically follow the footsteps of those cartoons and try to basically "Ned Leeds and Peter Parker" this shit ( AKA having Martyn cook up heroic plans while Ren just follows through with them ).
Their little deeds eventually get too ambitious at some point that Ren had attracted a monster to his area one day without realizing.
So boom boom pow, now we get Ren being dragged to camp while Martyn worriedly wonders why his superhero isn't responding to his calls.

may I have a permit for all things Xornoth related
I suppose I could give you an Honorary Hermit Permit for being a Xornoth superfan. He's technically not a Hermit, but we're pretty lax about the rules in the Tumblr Hermit Permit Office. However, you'll need to provide a post proving you're worthy of the permit. Please reblog with a link to a post proving your dedication, and I'll issue you a permit!

Inspired by this post, where I was trying to come up with non-whump/angsty scenarios for
Character A holds Character B in their arms while kicking open a door.
Which quickly turned into Desert Duo/Mumscarian fluff which then transitioned into general hermitshipping fluff. feel free to elaborate on any of this if you feel like it, I'm probably not going to do much more than maybe upload this to AO3 as is.
Scar grabbing Grian (or Mumbo, or both) to watch disney movies. they're hanging out at Scarland and Scar talks about something he's building in Scarland and how it was inspired by such and such movie (maybe it's something for the adventure area of the park, inspired by a disney attraction that was inspired by Peter Pan) and Grian says he's never seen that one.
Scar gasps dramatically, before picking Grian up and flying to the Scarland Theatre, slamming the door open only to remember that it's only a facade, probably flying into something, rushes to the castle, he doesn't have a bedroom or sitting area, and then rushing them to Grian's base looking for a spot to watch a movie, only Grian doesn't have one either, rushes to Mumbo's.
He startles Mumbo, and Either Mumbo's vault is good enough for movie watching or they involve the rest of the hermits until they find a sufficiently comfy place for movie watching, all the while refusing to put Grian down.
Maybe for added hilarity he hands Grian to mumbo for a bit so he can get Jelly or snacks, or both.
Mumbo going along with it and Grian complaining about it while not actually fighting them on it, like my cat does when I hold her sometimes and she wants to pretend she's not a cuddle bug and verbally complains the whole time while snuggling and staying put in my arms even though we both know if she really wanted to get down she'd jump out of my arms or bite and scratch me.
Scar claiming it's "soulmate privilege" when Grian complains, and Mumbo jumping on that claiming "Soul Sharing" privilage. The other hermits jump on that with those amounts them with soulmates (the ones who participated in double life) joining with their soulmates while the ones who's soulmates aren't hermits complain and those without soulmates pout about it, until someone agrees to be "honorary soulmates" with them. Grian and Scar agree that Mumbo's a part of their soulmate trio no questions asked. Cleo offers to be Joe's honorary soulmate, saying that what's one more when she already has Scott, and Joe accepts but also wants Ollie as an honorary soulmate.
Impulse and Bdubs hang out, making Etho jealous, while Tango longs for Jimmy and Zedaph feels left out. Maybe Skizz can be his honorary soulmate.
Etho misses Joel at least a little bit, but he also does not like seeing Bdubs cuddling with Impulse. Does he wish he was cuddling with Bdubs instead? Yes No, he's just... bothered by them cuddling, for some reason. It's weird! double life was months ago now! they've completed a whole 'nother season of the life series and started another one! and besides look at Zed! look how sad he is! *Camera panes to Zed, busy trying to complete Zedvancements* Impulse and Tango should be doing stuff with him not worrying about something as silly as soulmates!
Gem offers to be Pearl's "honorary soulmate" since Scott didn't want her.
Maybe BigB visits for Ren, or maybe Ren spends it with Doc, who has to be talked out of having the entire Sci-craft server over.
The Hermits end up arranging a big sleepover/movie night to invite their various soulmates or soulmate adjacent people over to the server to hang out. They build a "drive in" movie theatre in the shopping district.
halfway through the "movie night" they have to move indoors because the area wasn't spawn proofed enough. They end up in someone's base or shop with lots of pillows and blankets on the floor. maybe they go to scar's bed shop, or they make a pillow fort in the iBuy lobby.

Monkey King: Hero is Back Au/Sequel details:
Old post of ideas and theories - made before I experienced the game.
May name the au and/or fic "Hero Rebound" as a ref to the ship nam eof Dasheng and his LEM.
Mixing some elements found in the video game as the added lore is cool af but a bit messy. Also the old man that raised Liuer deserves recognition.
Putting characters under Read More:
Major Characters:
Dasheng/Sun Wukong/"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven":
Tumblr media
Going by the prequel concept poster; Was born/hatched looking like a coconut macaroon.
Secretly a herbalism/medical nerd. In the games he keeps a little guide of the medicinal plants and materials he finds.
Babysat a lot on Huaguo. In the english dub he even seems to default to asking if Liuer needs a babysitter.
Instincts take over a lot. Will pull the kids towards him and groom fur thats not even there.
Is tramatized by his experience in the Trigram Furnace.
Desperately wishes to find Erlang Shen so he can kick his ass.
Tries to play it cool; but Liuer's death actually tramatized him. He fears losing him again.
Don't touch Liuer or Silly Girl. Those are his babies now. He will kill you.
Zhanshi/Six Earred Macaque/Liu er Mihou/"Great Sage Informing Wind":
Tumblr media
An oc/JTTW character variation; Was a member of the Brotherhood of Sages during her and Dasheng's youth. The LMK OC Picrew was used to create a rough image of her.
Sweetest ray of bustling sunshine compared to her gloomier mate. Will still kill any being that dares touch one of her subjects.
Severely injured during the Burning on Mount Huaguo - permanetly damaging her right eye and ears. Dasheng had assumed she'd died during the battle after he was tossed into the Furnace.
Honorary grandma to the little monkeys of Mount Huaguo. Helped raise many of them after the Burning while their parents foraged and worked the land.
Finds a weird Stone Egg that crashed down after the solar eclipse. Now everyone seems to want the dang thing. Realised what the egg truly was when she heard the flutters of a heartbeat from within.
First time Liuer accidentally called her "Mama", Zhanshi cried for two hours.
Pls do not touch the baby monkeys. She will bite. And crush.
Jiang Liuer/"Tripitaka"/Current Incarnation of Golden Cicada:
Tumblr media
Died during the battle with Hundun - but Dasheng basically smashed down the doors of the Celestial Realm and begged the gods/bodhisattvas to bring his biy back.
Is bedbound and near comatose for 49 days as his body and soul heals.
Dasheng sacrificed his powers, freedom, and some of his dao/life energy for Liuer's revival. Liuer may or may not be part-stone monkey now.
Liuer doesn't know what happened to his parents. He assumed he was abandoned. His time in Diyu-Limbo clears this assumption up - learning that his parents died protecting him from mountain trolls/yao that wanted him for his delicious holy soul.
Can be a feral little guy at times. He was raised by a hermit after all.
Calls Fa Ming "granddad" in the english dub, so it's possible he just assumes Fa Ming is his granddad.
Is desperate for a mother figure.
Sha Ya Tou/"Silly Girl"/"A-nan":
Tumblr media
A very cheerful baby despite her situation.
Is not 100% human.
Hundun specifically needed her for the ritual.
First word ends up being "Bima!" (horse) after someone mentioned "Bimawen".
Zhu Bajie/"Uncle Pigsy"/Marshal Canopy:
Tumblr media
Lies that he's the reincarnated Pagoda King to scare demons. And because nobody outside of Heaven knows who Marshal Canopy is.
Gets real quiet when people bring up the story of Chang'e for some reason...
Amazing uncle figure. Notices that Liuer is sad during the movie's song sequence and uses his transformation ability to let the little guy experience flying.
Most of the time on the road he lets the kids use his stomach as a pillow.
Sha Wujing/"Sandy":
Tumblr media
Another oc/JTTW character variation since no Sandy-equivalent appears in Hero is Back. Also made in the LMK OC Picrew.
She/they
Dresses very masculine but loves accessorising with flowers, shells, bones, pretty rock etcs.
Zhu Bajie shot her a wink and Sha Wujing had to politely explain that she wasn't interested in men in general. The two then bonded over their shared love for women.
Encounters the Seven Spider Sisters and... ohhh mama.
Sifu Fa Ming/"Grandpa":
Tumblr media
Just some really cool old human dude.
Has a Diogenes-esque view of life, and does not care for monks and religious officials living in luxury. Self-exiled himself from his Vihara so that he could persue a simpler life.
Raised the baby he found (named "Little River Float/Jiang Liuer" cus thats what the baby was) with whatever he could find. Pretty much all alms he gained were used for food and clothes for his adopted grandchild. And from what the opening credits show, Fa Ming travelled with Liuer on his back through rain, snow, and shine.
Considers finding Liuer a blessing from the Buddha. Something he's somewhat correct on.
Was the first one to introduce Liuer to the legend of the Monkey King - as a cautionary tale to not be covetous. He did not anticipate Liuer thinking the monkey demon was the coolest person in all of Buddhist mythos. Fa Ming sighs, maybe that doll of his influenced that too.
His english va is James Hong, aka Mr Ping from Kung Fu Panda and he gives the best english performance imo. James Hong just be playing ancient chinese men who find and adopt a random baby they find.
Canglong/"The Dragon":
Tumblr media
Isn't Ao Lie/Bai Longma... but is one of his dads. Canglong and Ao Run are a thing. Ganglong was once a regular rain dragon who saw that the newly-appointed King Ao Run of the "Western Sea" (in the mythos the older three called dibs on the actual seas around China) trying to build a canal from the Yellow River. Canglong called down a great rain to help make the in-land sea/lake that would become Qinghai Lake. The two dragon bonded over their effort and well... dragon pups occured.
I hc that the Western Sea kingdom is a lot more chill than it's empire-like brothers, so these guys are flying and swimming freely all around the place.
In the film the dragon and Dasheng just sorta team-up off screen. In the game they have Guanyin bring the boys straight to the Western Sea Palace (in the sky) to ask for a dragon assist. Canglong fought Hundun and the other three Perils before alongside "Shunwang" - a human with a sword. "Shunwang" is likely a reference to Emperor Shun of the "Three Soverigns and Five Emperors"-era of Chinese mythos (same era as Nuwa, Fuxi, and Shennong) and predecesor of Yu the Great; who ultimately tamed the waters with Ruyi Jingu Bang (Sun Wukong's future staff). Emperor Shun in mythos beat the stuffing out of the Four Perils - though not the same ones that include Hundun - rather Gonggong who broke the Heavenly Pillar.
Adding on to the lore from the HiB game: Canglong teamed up with humanity during the Great Flood to help curb the flood waters. Here he met Shunwang, who's goal was to kill the Four Perils and God that helped cause the Flood. Canglong thought that was cool af and got all the dragons involved to help. The Four Perils are sadly all concepts and you really can't 100% kill them, so they all ended up sealed away instead. By the time of Dasheng's release; Hundun (blind chaos) got out. Canglong was in the same area as the gang looking for Hundun to apprehend him - when Sun Wukong ran up to him with info on what Hundun had planned, Canglong agreed to help no questions asked.
As in game canon: Helps the gang return the stolen children. I hc through amazing sense of smell. Canglong doesn't hang around for long though, as Ao Run immediately flies over, worried out of his mind for his injured mate, and brings him home. Canglong and Ao Run do however have a cheeky white-scaled dragon pup that likes to pretend to be horse and is obsessed with the legendary Bimawen...
Hundun and the Great Perils:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A squad of four primordial concepts set loose when the destructive water god Gonggong destroyed the Heavenly Pillar. Their goal? Take out the newly-formed humanity.
Among them was (as taken from Chinese mythos):
‣Qiongqi/窮奇/"poor and strange": Deviousness. Said to devour the innocent/noble people, and serve evil ones. Said to either possess the body of a flying tiger or a carnivorous ox. Killed at the hands of Emperor Shun.
‣Taotie/餮/"greedy glutton": Gluttony. Said to have the head of a ding/bronze vessel that consumes all. Has the body of an ungulate, and the voice of a baby. Some believe it to be the reincarnated form of Chi You - the decapitated enemy of the Yellow Emperor.
‣ Taowu/檮杌/"stupid stump": Ignorance. Personifies the stubborness of man, and the refusal to learn. Resembles a sabre-toothed tiger.
‣ Hundun/混沌/"chaotic torrent: Chaos. Like chaos it's true form is blind and directionless. Mythology says that attempts were made to give it holes in which to see, breath, and eat, but it immediately died and reincarnated into "an evil creature".
Nuwa, alongside Shunwang and the dragons, and a bunch of other allies, kicked the Perils butts but couldn't 100% kill them. The compromise was exile/sealing them away indefinitely. Hundun in his original form was attemtped to be rehabitilated, but upon gaining sight and the ability to breathe - died and reincarnated into the human-reptilian avatar we see in the film.
"Hundun" is an extenstion of primordial chaos itself - a thing that isn't inherently evil and was born alongside Pangu when the World Egg hatched. The demon king however, has merely a chunk of the power held by his original life.
Hundun in his current form may have died... but the soul within has move on into something else. Child-like chaos cannot be contained.

One of the problems w nocturne is that now they cant even adapt SotN (the alucard part of it i mean, lol and lmao for Richter n Maria) properly, bc there's no cycle of resurrection nor the same Alucard-Dracula family confict
In the games SotN is Alu being forced to awaken and confront his lineage alone! It's him trading words w his dad and facing him directly
Meanwhile in nfcv: N!Alucard is biased towards his vampire legacy, he is the one to handle the fight and deal the finishing blow to N!Dracula (and stealing what should have been Trey's moment bc useless belmonts amiright) and later when his dad and mom are revived they just. Dont tell him shit and fuck off alone. And he didnt even sleep he just went around killing vampires.
What im trying to say is that the pivotal moments and circumstances that lead to SotN are gone in nfcv. Like why should i care that Alu fights some rando vamp leader? Even if its Drac somehow, this is the Drac that went to live away w his wife and completely forgot abt him and that Alu could have visited at anytime. They already threw SotN elements into the story without regards for the timeline
Meanwhile SotN Alu is grappling w being in the future, with his friends dead, completely convinced that his dad doesnt loves him while Drac is desperate to keep his dear son with him even if he has to cleave his human side with his bare hands. Its a vry tense and raw family relationship that they cant recreate now
It's what I said here: the lore changes in NFCV completely destroyed any chance of the showverse having anything remotely similar to the gameverse. It's such a divergent AU that it became its own thing.
As of now, Nocturne has yet to answer its biggest unanswered question: what did Dracula do in the past three centuries? He ignored his son, probably spent some decades travelling and having kinky sex with Lisa, and then he saw her die of natural causes. What then? His castle has become Alucard's home. Did he... find himself another castle? Did he revert to the hermit he was pre-S1? Did he become a nomad?? Annette doesn't know about him, so I suppose he lived in obscurity. He wasn't even interested in Sun Thundercat's plan, no one mentioned him, he didn't peek to see what the hell was going on in France like Olrox did! Where the hell is he???
And speaking of! We know that Aluc, instead of sealing himself away, stayed around and fought vampires (which means good jorb to you too for killing vampires for centuries and having them still becoming the ruling class), and possibly witnessed the death of his "friends". Now that I think about it, didn't the OG show end with Trevor, Sypha, Alucard and Greta all living together in the new village? I would assume Alucard became something of an honorary uncle to the Trepha kid. But now Richter doesn't know who he is? Did he peace out when Trevor and Sypha died, leaving the Belmont bloodline be?
Anyway, yeah, it is literally impossible to even attempt to recreate the SoTN story. We lack the entirety of the context, we lack the main villain, we lack Richter's and Alucard's intertwined legacy. Which is what makes me think that they won't even try. After all, this supposed adaptation of RoB has more in common with fucking Bloodlines of all games, plus the superfluous backdrop of the French Revolution. They shattered the lore so thoroughly that now they're basically forced to write an AU fanfiction, something on the same level as a high school AU of old.
Remove the whip, and you would never tell Nocturne is supposed to be tied to the Castlevania franchise - hell to the original cartoon.
