(English learning anon I'm back)
I think we don't talk about Clockwork Dissonance enough i think we don't talk about it AT ALL, like come on guys read it, send asks about it!
What should we call Clockwork Dissonance MC? Chocolate or smt like this because of the Neapolitan ice cream trio?
I think that they're low-key enamored by Soma because of these lines if they're from MCs perspective
to others he was there but to you he was everything
In all the years you’d known Soma Cruz the best way you could describe him was noble
Both in looks and in personality
From an outside perspective of just a first glance he was like a portrait of old
A solemnly beautiful face that Roman artists would’ve carved
Pale white hair with the softness and appearance of fresh snow signalling the oncoming change of season
A presence of silent strength and dominance that seemed to make the room pause whenever he entered it
Dressed well with his combination of sleek black turtle neck, jeans and his white coat with a fur collar accent by pops of blue
The only thing that threw people off were his eyes
There was a power to them
Silent and all encompassing
Dominating in how they seemed to gaze into your very soul with a simple gaze alone
Perhaps if they were a pretty powder blue others would’ve found it more welcoming
others might think blue would’ve fit him better but to you his pools of caramel were perfect
Would CD!mc will be like Honeypie and think that "nah he doesn't like me that way he probably likes Mina"?
(GUYS I JUST CAUGHT A MOUSE WITH MY HANDS AGAIN believe it or not and it gave me an idea for the next ask I'll send later)
CD!mc seeing Julius alive for the first time: https://youtu.be/lff2E_ruW4U?si=t_OmrCUfeHWk8Vcm
I think dark lord Soma would be a yandere towards CD!mc with his love that turned twisted like him after submitting to the darkness
imagine him sitting on his throne with a wine glass full of either wine or human blood that might as well be taken from veins of his beloved bounded with his magic or gentle ropes - result of their confrontation with Soma that ended with him winning, imagine him kissing them right after taking a sip of the scarlet liquid from the wine glass letting them taste it on their tongue (sorry i think I got carried away somewhere i shouldn't have gone😐)
Welcome back anon! Thank you for the clockwork dissonance ask! I have to hop back on it when I’m done the first part of my transformers series. Ngl was kinda hoping it would get a bit more traction than what It originally got tho I think I was a bit late to the castlevania hype train for posting lol. Tho I’m still hoping to make more cause I really like my idea (partially cause I reallllllly like soma Cruz and the ideas I have for the series).
You can call the Mc for CD reader whatever u want. Another good fit would probably be Belmont reader since that is a big part of their identity. Thank u for picking up on the Neapolitan ice cream imagery I was putting for their friend group with soma and Mina. That for some reason I was particularly happy about lol. I tried to make their friend group kinda mirror the friendship between Alucard, Trevor’s and Sypha’s since that’ll come into play later. Soma is equivalent to alucard for very obvious reasons but also because he’s generally kinda quiet but introspective, Mina is Sypha especially since she’s the voice of reason as well as having magic, and reader is the Belmont aka heart of gold but reckless with their own self safety for the needs of others. There’s not much more to be explained on their end lol .
Oh yeah, reader in clockwork dissonance is totally enamoured by soma. They’re just a bit too dense to realize their feelings for him. To be fair to them they kinda had a weird childhood in which their mom plus alucard and Yoko trying to make them have a normal childhood while the rest of the Belmont clan were assholes. They kinda just assumed that they’d die young and (hopefully) live up to not only the Belmont name but also to Julius’s shadow. Belmont didn’t believe they’d ever have a chance at romance let alone develop feelings for someone, so they kinda don’t know what they’re feeling. They kinda just chalk it up to “i just want to be super best friends with soma” cause they quite literally can’t believe they’d get the chance to experience love (as sad as that is).
Yeah they operate under the Honeypie system of “they can’t have feelings for me! They must like [insert character] instead!” With Mina and soma. Poor Mina meanwhile has been trying to get these idiots together since she saw soma have heart eyes and Belmont went onto a whole tirade about soma’s so cool and great and pretty and kind and did they mention soma looked like an angel and- you get the deal. Soma is owing her a lifetime of takoyaki after he said there was no way that Belmont liked him in that way and he’d bet on it.
As you can tell I like obvious/dense mc’s but not because of the whole “their so innocent uwu” stuff but moreso cause “trauma, trauma, no one could love me and i shouldn’t get my hopes up, trauma, trauma, what im feeling can’t be love cause i dont deserve that” angle. I think it makes it more interesting also cause I like characters yearning and putting my favourites through emotional pain lololol sorry soma ur not exempt.
(Holy shit u caught a mouse with ur bare hands?!)
Haha lol, Belmont meeting their dad will definitely be emotional. I don’t wanna spoil my own plans but I do want Julius to appear and be prevalent. Poor dude was wandering with amnesia and now ended up back in time still trying to figure himself out lol. The only other thing I’ll say about him that isn’t plot important but sad is that while he wanders with amnesia he has a locket with a photo of a baby that scrawled on the back hurriedly says “do it for them” and it’s his only lead on his previous life.
Yeahhhhh dark lord soma would definitely be yandere for Belmont mc. He’s got Dracula’s “I have to make sure I don’t lose the person I love again” and after seeing their tendencies to throw away their safety the “humanity doesn’t deserve nor appreciates your kindness. I will wipe them out cause they’ll use you till your dead” sorta deal.
With the scenario you made I can’t help but make up my own image of what would happen as well. Belmont trying to reason with him but being unable to fight soma cause they know they can’t bring themself to hurt him. He 100% knows this and captures them promising to bring a new world, a kinder one where they don’t need to throw away their life anymore for ungrateful people. I think what’s more fucked up is that in this scenario I can’t help but imagine dark lord soma just letting Belmont try and escape the castle/fight their way up to him just to be unable to face him again cause it’s what a Belmont would do and because like Lisa they can’t give up wanting to do the right thing even if it kills them. He just keeps letting them doo this till they eventually burn out and he gently pulls them close to sit on his throne with him.
Ngl I kinda reallllly like dark lord soma and the ideas it gives me
