5 minutes later: dude I swear I just became the blade to banish all evil

My buddy Albus pacing: Master Barlowe is lying to us

What's the fic you would write if you had the energy for it? Ambitious, complex, novel-length—the fanfic you'd make if you could.

Ok weird opinion of mine I guess idk how to start posts aaaa

I think Simon’s “barbarian” design really works story and character wise.

Yeah, it’s silly and absolutely not historically accurate whatsoever, but it kinda makes sense in a certain weird way.

We know from Lament of Innocence and Dracula’s Curse that the Belmont family is generally on rough terms with the public. Leon gets his title taken away and, even though he gets his sword back at the end of the whole Walter situation as confirmed by how Belmonts onward have that sword, he’s still generally kinda shunned for going against the church’s wishes and the tail end of the crusades happening at the time. And Trevor is straight up banished from the country for fear of his strength. He’s much isolated from other people off in the house in the woods until he’s called to help fight against Dracula and gets some friends on the way.

And this kinda sets up the situation that the family was living in during Christopher’s time. The Belmonts are social outcasts; their existence is acknowledged, but they’re not really associated with or thought of very highly at this point. So, it wouldn’t be unlikely that they just wouldn’t really care for or be caught up with social expectations like fashion. When people are going to be wary of you regardless of what you do, why not dress however you want? Especially if you know no one’s going to do anything about it! Especially if it’s practical; the longer, looser sleeves and pant legs of the time would be restrictive in a combat/acrobatic context. So Christopher probably just wore whatever he wanted, and to be fair he doesn’t really seem to interact with anyone besides family very much.

First I wanna mention that I am completely aware that Simon was designed way before any of these other characters. But these characters are chronologically before him and can explain where he gets these design choices from in universe.

So, what about Simon then? Well, Simon has a lot of themes of wanting to be like his ancestors. Christopher is directly mentioned as someone he wonders he’ll ever compare to. Judgment shows him looking up to Trevor as well, and even though that game is of interesting canon status lol, it’s an example of that character element being used again. And this is reflected in his barbarian designs! The cape he wears in the manual drawings resembles the cape Trevor throws off in the opening of CV3. The general light armor and skimpy clothing is reflective of both some of Christopher and Trevor’s designs. The metal armor in Simon’s Quest being reminiscent in shape to Trevor’s on the CV3 box art. It just makes sense that Simon would be trying his damnedest to emulate the guys he’s been looking up and comparing himself to his whole life.

And the sudden transition from the barbarian look the family had for years to the more with the times fashion that Juste has makes a lot of sense considering Juste grew up in a time when the family was highly respected and in the middle of town, somewhere where keeping social expectations and appearances would be expected of him.

Idk if any of this makes sense, but aaaaaa random stream of an idea I guess. I like Simon getting to being weird and out of place for his time period and country lol. Also I’m not saying that other designs are bad!!! I like all of Simon’s game designs tbh, Ayami’s is really cool too and works for some of these points cause it’s also kinda barbarian esque but just in black and red, I’ve cosplayed it before lol. Yeah idk that’s it and I am sleepy goodnight—

here’s another maybe controversial/hot take: halloween should have been an anthology series and not a michael myers franchise. halloween iii would had been a critical success if halloween ii didn’t exist. at that point after halloween ii, audiences were too invested in michael myers that it was too late to turn halloween into the anthology series it was always meant to be

oh yeah since you're a huge Simon fan,

what are your thoughts on Super Castlevania IV?

Ooooooo I love CV4 so much, I’ve replayed it a lot : D. I’ve gotten pretty close to being able to beat the whole game in one sitting really fast lol. I think the only big gripe I have with it is that Dracula doesn’t get to have a second form/curse of man battle which is kinda sad. He just kinda gets Dracula part two but with a spookier face and not the cool demon dragon thing. But I guess Simon’s theme playing kinda makes up for it in a way so uhhhhh yeah. The music is absolutely banger in this game ong, I want the vinyl of this soundtrack so bad (TwT ). The art is so pretty toooooo, the pixel art is great agdjshwg. I love how much this game likes the color green.

I see it as a reimagining of the first game and lump them both together with X68000/Chronicles as the same part of the story if that makes sense? And not the English manuals or anything cause I know that CV4 was marketed as a sequel when it’s actually not in Japan 💀💀💀. Especially since later games take elements from it (SotN with Slogra and Gaibon and stuff) so it seems to be accepted I guess.
