pokes you for ship bingo. maleon, celiakado, trepha, saraleon but specifically post-loi where one of them is an arguably sentient whip and the other one is leon
While I know that conceptually Maleon is similar to Isaactor, I just can't be too invested into their relationship pre-betrayal for some reason, especially if the idea is that they used to be super besties before Elisabetha's death. Too simple. I like my Mathias to be more of a toxic hypocritical asshat :P
(and while I haven't read all the fics one can find, I have certainly seen my fair share of ukefied Leon, mostly in fanart. Much like ukefied Alucard or Hector, it annoys me greatly. leon is the top of the relationship don't @ me)
Not a big fan of the Sorrow games and even less of Celia (although her attempts to awaken Soma will never not be hilarious to me), but I respect your vision, I'm invested in the theory of Arikado being Alucard having a bit of a moral crisis after Dracula's permanent death, and ngl you make some very compelling points about them knowing each other 👀
I like it! Especially when you take into consideration Sypha's backstory and how it would affect her.
I like the idea of them being a gender reversal of ships like Draculisa, Hectaly or Alumaria: the brooding traumatized woman hiding from the world who hurt her, finding happiness in an absolute sunshine of a man who sees her for who she really is. (I never wrote Sypha, but I imagine that she'd be kind of cold and mistrustful before the ending of CV3, the opposite of Mr. Superpower of Teamwork)
They also make for one hell of a battle couple: I know Judgment Sypha was written to be a religious fanatic, and Trevor is very, very whip happy in CoD, so... :P
thank you for reminding me of a post i saw yesterday that proposed that leon would attempt to fuck the vk to feel sara
Well wouldn't this be terribly sad. Sara can communicate with Leon in a very limited way, apparently: if he can "sense her rage" at the sight of Mathias, perhaps he can sense other emotions. I wonder how it would be for Leon to marry another woman to have children with, and feel Sara's love for him constantly at his hip... Could his grief even heal, at that point? And how does Sara see the world, from her perspective, how would she feel to "see" her beloved fiancé having the family she wanted with someone else, knowing that it's not because he has moved on but because he has to continue a dynasty of vampire hunters?
Literally loving a ghost. It's tragic.
