So after watching Castlevania Nocturne and reading this amazing fanfic by gremlinwriter along with post-canon trephacard I have thought of something
Romantic or not, you cannot change my mind that Adrian became a wee bit protective of the Belmont family. Trevor nearly died, less than two years after his own mother died, and less than a year after he had to kill his own father.
Meanwhile Sypha is now pregnant, making her much more vulnerable as time passes. First of all no one wants her to fight anything bc of the baby, and second of all she can’t bc how can you fight something when it slowly gets harder to put on shoes and walk up and down the stairs.
So I see him being the biggest mother hen. Refusing to let Trevor do anything until he’s right as rain. And just hovering all over Sypha, something Trevor doesn’t do bc he knows that is the quickest way to annoy her.
And when the baby is born. He’s too afraid to hold them. “What if I hurt them with my nails? What if my fangs scare them? What if I drop them? What if I hold them too tight and crush them? Stop laughing Belmont! You’ve seen me crush a night creature’s skull before!”
This lasts for days until Sypha just orders him to sit down and hold her damn baby. Which he does bc Sypha is the boss of the trio
Mizrak had the audacity to look scandalized once it was revealed that a “man of God” like Abbott had a daughter like he wasn’t getting his bootycheeks destroyed by a literal creature of the night just a few hours before
I fucking hate James Tissot’s paintings because in ALL OF THEM there is ALWAYS someone staring right at you, but it’s not always immediately visible. You just feel watched by this mf. Sometimes the little shit is right there at the centre, but others the bastard is just gazing from the distance, it is CREEPY, my guys
