Seriously, what’s in the air right now? I’ve always loved Joker (I grew up with Batman the animated series and Burton movies). I dived into comics to have more of him, to learn more about this character... I liked what I found, but somehow something was missing... I missed an origin story (controversial point, I know). I wanted some hints about the man behind the clown paint, the human behind the monster. A story entirely centered about him only. Unfortunately, I didn’t find much. My best find was the great Killing Joke by Alan Moore, but I was still not entirely satisfied... And then, more or less 15 FUCKING years later and out of the frickin blue, Todd Phillips grants us that masterpiece that is Joker. Basically everything that I’ve ever dreamed of for all these years. Just like that. Needless to say, I’m fangirling hard. Like. Really. Really. Hard. And I’m SO happy to find other people who enjoy it as much as I do I cannot put into words. And now (well, since a couple of years) Netflix releases a show about Castlevania (season 3 just came out and I’m still processing it) I remember finally getting my hands on that masterpiece of a video game that was Castlevania : Symphony of the Night on PS1 (yeah, I’m that old). And believe it or not, besides the amazing graphics, gameplay and music, I really really loved the characters and story. That game is partially responsible for my now nearly 20 years old hyperfixation on the vampire myth. I really loved the concept of Dracula falling in love with a human and having an half human/half vampire offspring (It’s officially called a dhampir, for the record). Adrian “Alucard” Fahrenheit Tepes has long been one of my all time favourite characters (Plus, discovering during a lazy afternoon that his name spelled backwards is “Dracula” totally blew my mind away at the time).   The main protagonists of these games are the Belmont family though. And I became rather disappointed not having more character development for Adrian in the rest of Castlevania game series :( I thought he had so much potential, so many great ideas could have been explored with him... So, anyway when I started watching the animated series on Netflix, I really did not expect  it to be centered about the love story between Dracula and Lisa, and especially for Alucard to be part of the main cast!!! They also tried to keep the style of Ayami Kojima for his design!!! My little fangirl heart is gonna explode from all of this <3<3<3 Thank you all amazing content creators for fulfilling all my crazy fangirl thirst!!!!! Also, I know sometimes internet can be a curse, but for me it’s such an amazing way to meet other fans, and to witness their enthusiasm about shared interests. I’m so glad I can enjoy silly things like these with other people, may it be only virtually. Fandom are not always great, but they can bring so much inspiration and comfort to me, I needed to put it down.

Finals week is almost over and I’ve aced all my tests so I’m happy about my academics I also made the school play so I’m feeling great
