SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP. INSAAAAAANEEE THIS IS INSANE.

as a fan of both these series this chart is driving me fucking insane

I was thinking about dungeon based media and I made this alignment chart

Maria is my favorite character in Nocturne

There's something so interesting about a young kid being strong enough to live among adults in a world made for and ruled by adults and looking at all the mistakes they make and going "Why do you all suck so much!!??"

She works as an embodiment of the frustration towards adults for failing to create a just world and making you want to fix things with your own hands because you have access to basically as much power as any adult, but still being in that sorta immature state where you don't know exactly how to fix things, so you just rely on the little you know to do it.

Most child characters usually get some sort of mentor to help them avoid falling into the wrong side, but she had her mentor taken from her and now keeps constantly walking on the edge.

She reminds me of Agatha from Paranorman, a reflection of how the harm caused by the incompetence, fear, and selfishness of others (in particular, as she puts it, stupid old men) eventually reaches the ones that are innocent and ends up messing them up as well.

To the point where when she does eventually meet an adult that actually wants to help, the distrust is so big that she can't even listen.

It's just so cool watching her journey, wondering how far she'll go, if she'll go back, if she'll lose herself, what she'll learn, how much she should or should not change, and so on.

What a great character!

Furina first impression: haha she is so silly and fun I love her dramatic antics ^^

WITH THE NEW ANIME SEASON COMING OUT AND MY DESTIEL POST BLOWING UP, I NEED TO REMIND SOME OF Y'ALL

I am a sebaciel hater until the end. Fuck that noise. If you are proship, unfollow me immediately, please and thank you!

it's "we want more evil women" till it's Caitlyn Kiramman doing what she genuinely thinks is the right thing because she's being driven by grief and anger

"We want more complex female characters" you can't even handle an angry, grieving daughter who just had her mother killed by her future wife's sister, shut the fuck up

There's a lot of reasons I'm not on board with the Alucard/Maria ship (in Nocturne's context, I still have yet to play Symphony of the Night and so can't speak to their game counterparts) but one of the reasons is that I genuinely think it would be the most boring route to take that would also be the biggest disservice to their characters.

Maria is clearly unmoored right now; she's lost her mother, she's killed her father, and Richter and Annette have left. She only has Juste and Alucard, both who she only just met and has no real strong attachment to. She's throwing herself headfirst into a revolution that's about to turn incredibly bloodthirsty, echoing her own descent into violence and vengeance.

She's likely developing a crush on Alucard, yes, but I think it runs deeper than that: I suspect she's going to latch onto him out of the belief that he's the only one who can understand what she's going through (vampiric parent, martyred mother, killed his father, etc.) And with Maria also turning increasingly towards vengeance and violence, I suspect this attachment is going to concern Alucard more than anything else. He spends decades trying to avoid human attachment, and when he decides to try again this child not only develops an unhealthy fixation on him, but also tries to use him as a blueprint for her own descent into vengeance. That's horrifying. That's juicy. That's going to give Alucard even more hangups about being in the lives of mortals. How can that not make him feel like a corrupting force?

"I want Alucard to jump on Maria as soon as she's 18" Well I want Maria to use Alucard to justify her wanting to behead people left and right while Alucard is wracked with guilt over having corrupted this child. I want them to make each other worse.
