Very dumb Netflix Castlevania FixIt AU where Trevor is in town when they try to burn Lisa at the stake and he’s like… “Welp, can’t let this shit happen,” and saves her. And when Dracula find them Lisa’s all like “Oh, my love, this wonderful kind man saved me!” and Trevor’s like “No, shut up, I’m a piece of shit.” And Dracula’s too busy being relieved to care and he asks, “Who are you friend?”

“Trevor Belmont.”

And now Dracula is having an existential crisis because now he owes his wife’s life to his ancestral enemy and Trevor feels conflicted because he just saved Dracula’s fucking wife and pissed off all of the Church. So Dracula just… has him move in to his Castle until the heat dies down.

Cue a slice of life comedy where Dracula and Trevor are constantly trying to kill each other but never when Lisa and Alucard are around because the they’d get yelled at and get no desert.

Sypha eventually gets involved because Lisa shanghies Dracula into turning the Castle into a safe haven for people being hunted by the Church and now Trevor and Alucard are also competing with each other to impress the hot witch girl while also being a little gay for each other. Lisa has already picked out the wedding cake. Dracula weeps.

Sypha vibes with Hector and Isaac who she helps get out of their emo phases. Carmilla is like “Hahaha, Drac’s gone soft, time to take him out and take over the world!” Trevor, of course, slays her when she tries, and Dracula now owes the Belmont an even more direct life debt.

#I read the last part as 'slaps her when she tries' and honestly that's somehow even better #castlevania

My partner died last year and now I broke my foot and I haven't had a paycheck in over a month.

Please help me with my rent.

I'm terrified of losing the home we poured so much love into. I don't want to be homeless again.

RIP the love of my life, the best person I've ever met.

First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this

The Tumblr reblog sensation is returning. But like the Sayians or Shakespeare’s folios, it has the potential to develop in many forms.

Visit kamehamehamlet.com to be notified when we have more details.

Follow this blog for a peak behind the curtain.

And read on to learn more about the show, how we got here, and where we’re going.

Thank you for waiting just a little bit longer.

Revival Project Q&A

Who are you?

Hi! I’m Daniel Cole Mauleón (@writepictures), the writer of Kamehamehamlet. In 2015 I co-founded the theatre company Play-Dot Productions with KHH’s director Shalee Mae Cole Mauleón.

What is Kamehamehamlet?

Kamehamehamlet: Good Night Saiyan Prince, was an hour-long one act play, performed during the 2015 Minnesota Fringe Festival. It’s a staged retelling of Vegeta and Freeza’s battle on the planet Namek. Marketed as a Dragon Ball Z and Hamlet mash-up, the parody quickly shuffled off its weighted gi, revealing it was actually a Waiting for Godot spoof. After five performances, Vegeta hung up his helmet of spiky hair. Seven years later, K (@amokslime) wrote this incredibly gracious post on Tumblr, which inspired two people to reach out to me via Reddit to ask if I had a script or a recording of the performance.

I want to pause the semi-marketing voice and say a heartfelt thanks to K. Kamehamehamlet was brought to life by an incredible team of artists during a summer I’ll never forget. We got laughs at jokes, gasps at fight choreography, and we broke even on the budget (a Fringe miracle TBH). K’s post gave me the chance to revisit that show through someone else’s eyes. The mix of pride and humility it stirs up is truly indescribable.

If there is art which has changed you, and especially if the artist is still alive I encourage you to non-intrusively share that with the artist.

Is there a copy of the script?

Yes, I’ll speak more about that at below.

Is there a recording of the performance?

There was, but I genuinely lost the files. And that’s for the best, honestly. It was a last-second attempt, filmed from two cheap cameras (with different qualities and resolutions!), both at bad angles and with truly awful audio. Trust me. It’s better this way.

That said, I do have other archival footage from rehearsal's, tech, etc. that I look forward to sharing for those curious.

What’s next?

This is the question I’ve been asking myself over the past year and the reason it took so long to post anything. Especially since one thing I want to do differently this time is make sure that any artists involved are meaningfully compensated for their time and skill. However, I can’t plan without a better estimate of what kind of support we would have, and I didn’t want to share our intentions without concrete details.

Right now, the best way you can support this project is by signing up for the announcement on kamehamehamlet.com.

The second best thing you can do is to share with others about this project, if I’ve learned anything reading through the comments on K’s post, it is that there’s a much bigger audience for KHH than I could have ever imagined, and you likely know at least one more person who would be interested.

And while I don’t want to promise anything I can’t deliver on, I will share that I’m planning on making the script available this year and I’ll be writing a separate post about that in near future.

If you’ve read this far thank you so much.

Thinking of the larger context of LOTR and like, the fellowship swapping old war stories and shit and Sam just says “Yeah I killed a huge spider…Shelob, I think?”

And Gandalf just blinks and is like, “You what now?”

“Yeah, killed it. Had to save Frodo”

Gandalf elects not to tell Sam that he killed the spawn of a primordial demon.

#literally lmao #then again they did also kill the Devil From The Bible by throwing his lil shiny magic trinket into a volcano so like #is Shelob really that hard to believe #A COOL VILLAGE GIRL AND HER TINY BESTIE KILLED THE WITCH KING GANDALF. IS SHELOB REALLY THAT HARD TO BELIEVE. #lotr #funny

[wingsofhcpe]

#yup #also tbh as a pastor's wife you cant also be a pastor. at least you couldn't back then. #like yes an inkeeper's wife was also an inkeeper and just called that bc of gendered laws & patriarchy #but a pastor's wife was very much Not also a pastor lol #linguistics

We lost something as a culture when computers stopped screaming in agony as you connected them to the internet.

#the 2000s too lmao it was HORROR (affectionate)

#roughly around 5 #like he doesn't deserve death but i heavily dislike him 90% of the time unless the stars align & we can have an ok time together (rare)

top five most important things you can give a character. 1. bisexuality. 2. autism. 3. so much negative rizz it loops around into irresistibility. 4. so many bad events. 5. a coping mechanism that’s cute and silly provided you don’t think about it too hard

#aramis except the negative rizz <333 hes got so so much rizz <333 #(and adhd instead of autism but like still)

[wingsofhcpe]

self-proclaimed punk fans on this website suddenly really scared of violence in music only when it comes to rap

#tbh it depends bc if it's explicit sexual violence towards women like with 99.9% of greek rap/trap then yeah fuck you #but if it's violence against cops or the system? fuck yeah im with you

just watched shogun episode 7 with my mum and I feel so bad that I burst out laughing at the ending where Toranaga's son tries to kill the baddie but slips falls cracks his head and dies like... MY GUY YOU HAD ONE JOB-

#shogun #yoshi toranaga #tokugawa ieyasu #i love this show so much bc it's literally sengoku era history just with different names. idk why the author changed the names but still #it's so fuckin funny though like this poor boy was constantly trying to impress his father & failing #and thit time he was like 'yes finally I'll go out in a blaze of glory by killing this enemy & saving my father's life' and he just. well. #like HE TRIED. BUT HE ALSO FAILED. SO BADLY 😂😭😂😭😂 #this is like 50 times funnier if you know your history and/or have played samurai warriors tbh

#nah man the way lj went was SO fuckin dumb. i know it's because the actress had to go but still they could've found a better way #snowpiercer #polls

[wingsofhcpe]

Can we talk about the fact that Marie de Chevreuse apparently crossdressed a lot for Aramis?

#it's because he's their little babygirl. their malewife if you will #someone wears the pants in these relationships and it sure as hell never is aramis! (i love him. femboy of my heart) #the three musketeers #twenty years after #as much as i love bbc musketeers more than I love oxygen not a SINGLE adaptation has given us femboy aramis #and that's a crime. give us his canon depiction!!!
