Isaac/Castle? Could you tell us more of it? 👀

I've been thinking about it since I first told you about the Castle. You said something along the lines of 'Imagine Isaac and the Castle working together.' and I was like, 'I don't think any universe could handle that.'

Now it's one of the things I'm having brain rot over. I don't really have a foundation for it yet, but I have some vague blueprints, mostly because I still struggle to write in-character for Isaac.

But it goes something along the lines of 'Isaac throws himself through a portal in the hopes of maybe killing himself since he failed so hard on his task to revive Dracula and killing Hector. However, he winds up in the LoS universe spirit realm, and the Castle takes interest in him. At first, maybe they try to fight each other, but the Castle quickly recognizes that this man isn't that far off from the same mental state that it's precious Prince. Isaac would be easy to manipulate into becoming its new Lord, so it brings little gifts like food, weapons, the bodies of its enemies, etc. Since we don't really know how the voices for the Castle work, maybe it could sound vaguely like Hector, Dracula, and Julia, so Isaac hears the love and praises he desperately craves. Eventually it ends with Isaac accepting it and becoming its new Lord, and the Castle, in true doppelganger fashion, alters its form when it starts feeding off of Isaac. So instead of how we see it in LoS2, as that really messed up version of Gabriel, it starts looking more like Isaac instead.'

I don't quite know how the Devil Forgery powers would interact with the Castle, but that's what I got for now.

#snailmail #i dont know if I'll actually ever write this #but its something thats been bouncing around in my brain #what would their ship name be?#isaastle?#also anytime i write isaac i always want to put two s instead if two a.

So.... This is an Isaastle piece, written in the POV of the Castle. @beevean.

It heard yelling before it saw the source. It had been a long time since anything has come up this far within its walls. It remained frozen, unmoving, just waiting for the source to leave. When the source only got louder, it let out a snarl. The doors to the throne room open, revealing a rather petite man. A man of elegance, yet so small in figure. It could see the bones under his skin. Black marks cover his body in familiar patterns.

It continued to stand like a statue as the man paces around angrily. He was yelling about something, but it wasn't focused on that. It was focused on the energy he put out. A familiar dark power emanated from the man. It looks at him, his hair was a different shade than the Wolf's Son. Darker. Duller. It felt drawn to him. It saw his pain, his frustrations, his desire to serve. It knew it needed to claim this bizarre man before he found his way out.

It made its move, a puddle of blood following the man outside the throne room. It could hear him cursing someone named Hector. It did not know a Hector, but perhaps it was one of the many that sought the Prince's power. One of the many that served as a Dishonored Vampire. But then, he cursed at a Trevor Belmont. It knew that name. The White Wolf's human name. Oh, it knew that rage. This would be fun.

As it followed, careful not to alert the agitated man, it also subconsciously moved any danger to this potential new Lord. It listens carefully to the bizarre man.

"First I couldn't kill Hector! Then that cursed Belmont! I couldn't avenge my Lord, Dracula! Now I can't even kill myself?!" He screams into the echoing chambers of the castle. It could work with this.

"It is not often we have visitors." It spoke, the blood bubbling up audibly behind the man. It saw the look of confusion and frustration as he whipped around to see who was talking. It bubbles up into a semi-solid state. It knew what he saw, it knew he was disgusted by it. It has been so long since it had a host, it no longer knew how to look like its Prince. It looked vaguely humanoid. Without arms, or legs, or a lower torso. It felt like its head was human enough, though the globs of blood falling off of it states otherwise.

"We are like you." The multitude of voices spoke.

"You are nothing like me!" The man snapped back. Oh, this was going to be more difficult than it originally thought.

"We are like you." It repeats, "we have dedicated ourselves to a lord, only to be abandoned for another." It saw his eyes twitch, before he got aggressive again.

He started yelling more, but it tuned the noise out. Yes, this emotional response was what it needed out of him.

"The one you served. This Dracula. He still abandoned you. He did not see what we see in you." Tell him what he wants to hear, that was what it was best at. "We can feel your untapped power. We see your potential. He could not could he? Distracted by that Hector, he ignored such a beautiful specimen."

This causes the man to stop mid-word. He looks at the Entity staring back at him. His mouth opened and closed like a merman tadpole. The Castle took this chance to continue, sliding its tendrils along Isaac's hands.

"We only speak the truth. Such power and beauty like yours would be a waste to throw away. Especially on one who cannot see it." It speaks so softly. So hypnotically. It can see the man thinking about what it's saying. "You are intelligent. Powerful. Beautiful. We would thrive under a lord like you."

It can see how the man hesitated, before trying to resist it. It needed to draw the man in more. Lower his guard more. This will not be as easy as its Prince, but it would be worth the chase. It released the man from its grip easily.

"We can offer you so much. Loyalty. Companionship. Power. Love. We can offer so much more than the one you served your life to." It pauses, a name popping up in its memories. "All we need is you. Your blood. Your energy. Your power. Your presence. Without it, we are nothing. We can subsist for only so long on the monsters and humans within these walls, but you... You could provide so much. We will never take you for granted. You will be an object of worship. A ruler. A Lord."

That does it. It can see his mind turning. It had to be methodical. It could not claim him all at once. It had to be slow. Nurture a bond, and seal it with blood when the time is ready. It bows its head respectfully.

"We will let you think on our offer. We will not force you to join us. But note, as long as you do not harm us, nothing in here will harm you. We will bring you back to us, when your final decision is made." At that, it disappears into a puddle of blood, leaving the scene. It watches the man from the shadows. It would take time. It needed to show him that it was better than his lord.

It summoned two dishonored vampires to the room, and had them bow before the man. Give him a taste of the power he'll have with it, before it vanishes back to the throne room, eager for its new Lord.

WIP WHENEVER

I was tagged by @wingedknightrose! I tag @beevean , of course no pressure! Not much on this one, my focus has been sidetracked by other things at the moment 😓

Isaac stopped in his tracks. The smell of rot and death filled his nostrils. His glare traveled around the ruined castle, searching for the source. His irritation was only growing when he couldn't find the source. "Who is watching me? Come out and face me!" He screamed out. Isaac sneered and stomped through the hall. Multiple voices rang out, none of them were familiar to him.

"It's not often we get visitors." The things said. He whips around to confront the source, but pauses in disgust at the creature in front of him. It looked vaguely humanoid, but it lacked arms. Its skin was peeling off, revealing a partially formed internal organs and muscle tissue. He could see the muscle moving as it spoke.

Its eyes were solid white, and were the only distinguishing features on its face. He was disgusted by this thing. "What are you?" He asked, backing away as to not get anything from this creature on him.

"We are like you." Its voices rang through the hallway. Isaac grit his teeth, "What do you mean by that?"

"We are like you." It repeats, a spray of blood coming from its mouth, prompting Isaac to step back more in disgust. "we had dedicated ourselves to a lord, only to be abandoned for one who only hurt him."

That was the snapping point for Isaac.

Gabastle and Isaastle? :>

Gabastle (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

Codependency with a mix of manipulation (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠). Gabriel views the Castle as a safe haven for one such as him, and the Castle views Gabriel as its plaything and food 🩷 One of my favorite ships, just beside Gabarie. Divorcees with a blood bond that keeps them connected (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

Isaastle (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)

I think about it regularly, I just need to get off my ass and write more on it. They would get along very well, especially with Isaac's and the Castle's eagerness to prove themselves to their Lords. I can also imagine how visceral their first time together would be (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠) 🩷 they would make out sloppy style with blood (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

I'm having... Mactor and Celiakado fic thoughts.

Ok, so in the Au that I've been kinda working on, I'm planning on adding Mactor and to a degree Celiakado, I've been convinced by my mutuals.

Ok, this is vaguely how I plan on introducing these ships.

So, this is going to be in the same universe as Isaastle and with my Self-ship with Marie and Gabriel.

Hector is related to the Belnades, or is adopted into the family, haven't decided yet. Matthias is one of Maycella's (my sona) students/workers at the bookstore. I haven't decided if they are already together, or if it's going to be a slight slow burn. However, Cronqvist aren't as powerful as they were in the 11th century, so while he's still rich, he's by no means royalty anymore. Maybe he could figure out whether or not Gabriel is a Cronqvist in blood.

As far as Celia goes, I need to learn more about her character, but from the interpretations I've seen, I might have her be like an occasional fling Trevorcard has/had in the past, and is one of the gossip brokers in the city. She probably has dirt on every politician in the city. She isn't into having a full relationship, but really neither is Trevorcard, so a casual/business relationship is all they are into.

#toadscreech #i need to be asleep #i have to get up for work #but i needed to write this and get it out.#maybe ill wake up tomorrow with no idea what im sayinf #but thats a future me problem #LoS AU

For the ask: Trevorcard, Hector and Isaac :P

Trevorcard!

1. favorite thing about them: Trevorcard's devotion to his family, but also to his own humanity. He worked his ass off to get his father to see he's worthy of redemption, while also never succumbing to the vampire curse.

2. least favorite thing about them: The fact he never told Simon who he really was. I get why he didn't, but it doesn't make me happy about it.

3. favorite line: "You'll pay for what you did to me and my mother!" Specifically as young Trevor in the Castle portions of LoS2. It seems like a strange quote, but this is the first thing Trevor said to Dracul before their first battle, so it's how Trevorcard gets Gabriel to see the young boy is him.

4. brOTP: Trevorcard and Victor. Honestly, not much is known of their relationship, but I'd like to think they were pretty close.

5. OTP: Trethias (Trevorcard x Mathias) and Trevorcard x Sypha. (Gavor)

6. nOTP: Satan x Trevorcard. Listen Satan. Possessing the body of your crush's son, is not how you get your crush to like you back.

7. random headcanon: Trevorcard watches over the Belnades after he became a vampire. It's one thing he could do as atonement for causing his wife's death, but also because of the changing political stance on them. After the Belmonts split from the original Brotherhood of Light (another headcanon), he begins to watch over them too.

8. unpopular opinion: I think he's the coolest looking Alucard, and I like how they show that he refuses to give into the curse by perpetually starving himself of blood, which shows on his actual character model.

9. song i associate with them: uhhh....

Animal by Disturbed.

10. favorite picture of them: have some baby Trevorcard, ft. Dracul's hand.

Hector!

1. Favorite thing about them: The fact he broke away from Dracula and Isaac, finding his own place in the world, free from their toxicity.

2. Least favorite thing about them: Hector, honey, maybe don't try to the woman helping you. (I hope I'm remembering that panel of the manga correctly)

3. Favorite line: "Damn him! So be it. I must descend into darkness and reclaim that accursed power once more... Heed my words. I will hunt you down like the beast you are. I will have my revenge!" Like? My guy? That goes so fucking hard.

4. brOTP: Alucard and Hector. Weird adopted brothers, who are each other's only sanctuary.

5. OTP: Hectaly, Isaactor, and Mactor

6. nOTP: can I put N!Isaactor? I'm putting that.

7. Random headcanon: I really like the ones that portray Hector treating his Innocent Devils as like little pets/children.

8. Unpopular opinion: honestly? I don't think I have one.

9. Song I associate with them: Uhhh... Maybe..

The Death of Peace of Mind by Bad Omen

10. Favorite picture of them: I know he's barely visible, but like, the size difference between him and Dracula? *Chef's kiss*

Isaac!

1. Favorite thing about them: unhinged bastard man, causing death and destruction in his wake. What's not to love about that?

2. Least favorite thing about them: Maybe don't burn your adopted brother/ex lover's wife at the stake? And expect him to like you still?

3. Favorite line: "I've been waiting quite a long time to plot my revenge. Not only did my Lord die because of you -- you stripped me of my pride, my home. Now I shall make you suffer as I suffered. You shall die a most painful, gruesome death." Isaac, honey. Like, this line is painful, but it shows so much about Isaac and his mentality around Dracula and the Castle.

4. brOTP: Joachim and Isaac. I just can't visualize them being in a relationship.

5. OTP: Isaactor, Isaastle, and Gabsaac/Isabriel? Basically Isaac x Gabriel.

6. nOTP: same as Hector. N!Isaactor

7. Random headcanon: I think Isaac could play a few instruments. I don't know... He seems like the type to have, like, a bass or, like, a steel guitar.

8. Unpopular opinion: Isaac is perfect as he is. He is chaos and depravity, and I love him for that. He's so unapologetically awful in every way, and I love that in a character.

9. Song I associate with them: Sick Like Me by In This Moment

10. Favorite picture of them: This is just a fantastic image of Isaac.

Trying to get back into the swing of things, so let me unleash my thoughts on the Isaastle series of shorts I want to do.

This is about 10-15 years after LoS2, and directly after the events of CoD.

When I said the markings on Isaac were familiar to The Castle, it's because I want to incorporate Frankenstein into a bit of a bigger role. So, in the case of this au, Frankenstein was forcibly tattooed/branded by Carmilla as punishment for his crimes against children, before she turned him into an eternal blood bag. So the Castle remembered those markings and equated them to Isaac's tattoos.

I'm thinking that maybe the Castle has a few more of Mechanical Monstrosities hidden around in Frankenstein's tower, and allows Isaac to go into that portion to work these creatures into Innocent Devil abominations. However, I'm still working on figuring out Devil Forgemaster, and how the Castle responds to it.

Since Isaac is human, the Castle is more possessive than it was with Gabriel. The lower levels are fully off limits and it makes sure he's never out of its eyesight.

The Entity starts to physically change from feeding on Isaac as well. So instead of looking like Gabriel, it starts to look and sound like Isaac. Of course, in all it's fucked up glory.

The voices from it also change. It speaks on voices that he's heard before, regardless of his relationship with them. Hector, Dracula, Julia, Death, maybe even Trevor, Alucard, Lisa, and Rosaly.

The portal that led Isaac to the Castle is still in the Castle, however, the Entity has moved it to the Forbidden Wing. Even after so long without its Prince, it still holds true, not allowing anyone inside the room.

Since the lower levels are off limits to Isaac, the Castle has to settle dominance disputes between the demons down there. Especially between the Dungeon Jailers.

Maybe the Castle forces a blood bond on Isaac, simply not to lose him to human aging. It's a temporary solution, but it has plans to fix it permanently.

The Castle still yearns for its Prince, as Isaac still yearns for Hector and Dracula.

That doesn't stop them from fucking nasty and bloody style.

More will be added, I just can't think of anything else at the moment.
