Hector/Dracula for the ship bingo?

Dracula you horrible abusive grooming bastard 💖 at least you created the biggest gigachad who ever chadded 💖

I didn't just see the divorce: I played the divorce. And it was glorious. okay the actual fight is a little ehh but the first theme slaps absolute ass <3 it's my personal theme for the ship i don't care

Anyway I can't even fully explain the appeal to me. I'm just fascinated by the implied story here, Hector being stuck in an abusive environment since he was a boy because it was the only one where he was welcome (you know he felt like he deserved everything bad that happened to him in the castle 🙂), being groomed with praises and training to discard his humanity, him genuinely caring for the only person who sees worth in him but eventually realizing that he deserves better and getting the courage to find himself a better life, renouncing to Dracula's warped "love" to gain agency, to then turn back and finish what he had started and becoming a full hero as a result, looking at his old Lord and master and father figure in the face and smugly taunting him with the powers that he got from him...

And Dracula who gave to Hector (and Isaac lol) the power to create life (confirmed by Igarashi in an interview! They are literally infused with Dracula's own magic!), growing fond of him for his talent but still mainly seeing him as his creation and his tool and so being left blindsided by the betrayal of his "precious" :D Alucard already hurt because it was his son... but Hector, his own General who chose to serve him?

And, and, the parallels, how Hector looks like Dracula, and sounds like him when he was human, uses his powers, reacts in the same way when Rosaly is killed because his love and rage are just as intense, they even sit in the same way! The antagonists all want Hector to become Dracula, they traumatize him and corrupt him with Dracula's own curse and try to erase his entire identity! But he stands above all, because unlike Dracula, he has solid principles and a noble heart and such a strong mental fortitude. Ggggggggg I love the story so much it's just. it's too good. peak themes. and it feels like only I see it because everyone just laughs at the cliché "revenge bad" surface D: (this is why I half-ticked "soulmates" btw lol)

also size difference hot and that attack where dracula sips hector is very sus
