“These books are for relaxation! That is why there are so many of them. My time is free and I don’t need to limit myself to just the ones that are ‘useful.’”

She pokes back at him, right at the top of his hand. “And what about you? Are you just reading to be useful?” 

She gives him a look. She has her suspicions on the kinds of books Alucard would read if left to his own devices. 

“I see.” Alucard’s eyes glittered. “Romance novels and fantasies, then? Are you reading of knights carrying swooning damsels away?”

He could hardly imagine her interested in such a thing, and he was only speaking in jest, but at the back of his mind he realized that it was very possible that she had such sides that she had simply not shown him. Humans could be a great deal more complex than many of them appeared to be on the surface.

He opened his own book to the first page that displayed the subject matter in an ornate script with a fancy cross drawn beneath it, and he rotated it to show her. “This is a writing of the church’s history,” he explained. “I am not sure that I would call it useful. Interesting, perhaps, and certainly misleading. But it helps me to understand how other people think.”

[syphaswill]

"And what if I was?" A girl is allowed her mindless fiction, Alucard. "Would you judge me for my choice in stories?"

The truth is Sypha has a limited interest in such topics. Romance is nice, similar to how warm drinks are sometimes nice. They both can make life a little nicer but neither are needed to make it worthwhile. If he ever found her devouring a novel on that topic he is would know she was down to the last book in the library.

"Are you reading this because of everything that happened?" She takes the book from him, holding it open in front of her as she makes a thinking face. Very serious thinking face for a very serious and interesting topic. "Have you found the chapter where they discuss how corrupt clergy exploit the faith of the people beneath them for their own benefit? That's my favorite part."

Castlevania 02x03: Shadow Battles

[syphaswill]

@swordandfang (hi, I wrote some ideas, I hope that is OK.)

weird costumes/disguises. 

All I can think of for this is Alucard having to dress up like a ‘normal’ person and doing his best not to stand out. Which given his life and education would be fairly difficult. It’d be something that Trevor probably is really good at -- blending in and seeming like everyone else -- where Alucard sticks out like a sore thumb just by virtue of existing.

saving/healing people.

I already mentioned to you I think it would be a fun topic to discuss with Alucard, so yess, let’s do it.

fighting or getting hurt.

Sypha’s grandfather mentions in the series that he is nonviolent and Sypha herself is shown trying to minimize the impact of her skills/abilities on other people. I wonder how she would handle someone who was being extremely aggressive towards her but for reasons she understood? Someone who was scared, hurting, etc, and actively threatening or invading her personal space but she doesn’t fight back. 

I could see that being something she learned while traveling as a Speaker. What moments is it OK to fight and when is it just easier to allow the other person their anger and wait out their aggression?

trying and hating alcohol.

I don’t think Sypha drinks much, if at all, so this would definitely be something Trevor gets them both to do. 

blood drinking.

I have a lot of thoughts on how Sypha would handle this, and this is 100% something I want to write. Ultimately I think she is very “You need it to live and I like it when you’re living, so can you just go find yourself some dinner already?”

wolf form stuff (like using wolf form for warmth or something).

GIVE ME WOLF FORM CUDDLES FOR WARMTH OR JUST THINGS LIKE ABSENTMINDEDLY SCRATCHING BEHIND HIS EARS B/C WHILE SHE KNOWS IT’S ALUCARD SHE ALSO KIND OF FORGETS AND JUST WANTS TO PET THE POOCH. 

difficult situations like getting lost or trapped and needing to get out of them.

I was toying with the idea that Sypha is extremely claustrophobic. I also wonder the difference in how she handles these problems vs how Alucard does, considering she is very, very mortal and he is kind of that odd in between that buys him more time in situations like that.

finding a cat or staying in a place with a cat.

Grumpy old cat cooing up to Alucard is my jam. 

and just seemingly mundane things that are perfectly normal and basic for humans but that Alucard just doesn't understand.

YES TO THIS.

   BOOK STARTERS VOL.35    THE SONG OF ACHILLES    MADELINE MILLER

❛ Name one hero who was happy. —- You can’t. ❜

❛ I feel like I could eat the world raw. ❜

❛ We are like gods at the dawning of the world. ❜

❛ I could recognise him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world. ❜

❛ There are no bargains between lion and men. I will kill you and eat you raw. ❜

❛ You can use a spear as a walking stick, but that will not change its nature. ❜

❛ He is a weapon, a killer. Do not forget it. ❜

❛ Some men gain glory after they die, others fade. ❜

❛ I am made of memories. ❜

❛ Will you come with me? ❜

❛ I wish I had let you all die. ❜

❛ It is right to seek peace for the dead. You and I both know there is no peace for those who live after. ❜

❛ Bury us. Let us be free. ❜

❛ Go. He waits for you. ❜

❛ Nothing could eclipse the stain of this dirty, mortal mediocrity. ❜

❛ I know I have told you of this. ❜

❛ I don’t know how you remember them all. I swear they look the same to me. ❜

❛ Perhaps you should get some new stories, so I don’t fucking kill myself of boredom. ❜

❛ I yearn for the darkness and silence of the underworld, where I can rest. ❜

❛ There is no honour in betraying your friends. ❜

❛ There is no answer. Whichever you choose, you are wrong. ❜

❛ Divine blood flows differently. ❜

❛ How is there glory in taking life? We die so easily. ❜

❛ This is what I will miss, I think. I will kill myself rather than miss it. ❜

❛ How long do we have? ❜

❛ Do you think we fight hopeless wars? ❜

❛ There is no law that gods must be fair. ❜

❛ I do not fear ridicule. I never have. ❜

❛ You were always better with words than I. ❜

❛ Who can be ashamed to lose to such beauty? ❜

Delphic Maxims Writing Prompts

The Delphic maxims are a set of 147 aphorisms inscribed at Delphi. Originally, they were said to have been given by the Greek god Apollo’s Oracle at Delphi and were therefore attributed to Apollo himself. The 5th century scholar Stobaeus later attributed them to the Seven Sages of Greece. Contemporary scholars, however, hold that their original authorship is uncertain and that ‘most likely they were popular proverbs, which tended later to be attributed to particular sages.’ Send me a number 1 thru 147 for a Delphic maxim that I’ll use to write either a starter, drabble, or headcanon that I personally feel fits the maxim. Send 🔄 for a random number instead.
