Hey, Castlevaniacs.

As sad as I am to have to say this (especially since we just hit 300 followers), this will be my last post on chapelofresonance. I no longer enjoy being on tumblr, I haven't enjoyed it for a long time. This blog has definitely been my pride and joy, as well as the one reason I have stayed. Recent drama has solidified my decision to leave.

I haven't picked anyone to take over the blog fully, so there will most likely be no more updates from here on in. Chapelofresonance will still be around, though, so make sure to visit the archive. Since the fandom listing is rebloggable, please do feel free to update it as you like.

You guys have been awesome, and as always I'm delighted to see the fandom alive and kicking. Thank you for following and making chapelofresonance what it is today! It's been great, everybody.

With love, Mod Atom. ♥♥♥

Whoa, the fandom has been busy, and I haven't been on tumblr enough to keep up. The fandom listing will get updated as soon as I can tumbl for more than five minutes.

Fandom Listing Updated

It was long overdue for at least one update. I will now be posting the listing to the Castlevania tag for better exposure to other RP blogs and fans.

[chapelofresonance]

A lot of the older posts need sources, so old posts might be a little sparse until I really have time to sit down and source them all.

If it isn’t too much trouble, how about art of supporting characters like Lydie Erlanger, Mina Hakuba, and Saint Germain? Maybe villains like Carmilla too? I’ll try to help out finding any fan art or rare official art with the best of my ability too.

Mod Atom: I'm always looking out for them, they're surprisingly hard to find on their own, especially Lydie and Saint Germain (whom I am absolutely in love with, it's very disappointing that he doesn't get too much fanart to himself). Thank you for keeping an eye out, much appreciated. I'll do a little browsing tonight and see what I turn up.

Best dressed Belmont?

Mod Atom: Aaaaaaaaaghhhhhhh [muffled screaming in the distance] That’s a really hard question for me, but after a little thought I think I can confidently say that Richter is the best dressed with his costume in The Dracula X Chronicles. Leon was a close second, but his chest armour confuses me way too much. I’ll ask Mod Mina this question later and see what answer she gives.

Mod Mina:  [Arrives to the sound of muffled screaming]  Oh dear god why must this be asked?  Do the heavens have no mercy?  I'm biased, but I have to go with Atom on this one because of my incredible Richter-bias.  On second thought, though, I'd put Juste up in the running because bless, the man can certainly pull off the color red.  And we can't completely ignore Trevor's coat- but I think I can say with confidence that SotN Richter doesn't make the running because everything seems to fit him ill, not that I don't like his character design or his coat.

Now that I think about it, do you think Henry Oldrey was conceptualized as Henry DaNasty? It would make sense, his whole thing was being a regular guy that just grabbed a suit of armor and a gun, like how Grant was just a guy with a knife and some agility. I do tend to think they could have made a lot of characters in that vein DaNasty - Hammer DaNasty is a popular one, but I could also see Maxim DaNasty and Hugh DaNasty off the top of my head.

Moderator Atom: Hmm, Henry? Maybe not. Henry was styled too much after a medieval knight, as a character he may have been influenced by sources other than the canon, Legacy of Darkness broke from the formula a bit and isn’t considered a “proper” Castlevania after all. Maxim on the other hand is a character that definitely has a DaNasty-type concept behind him, and Hugh seems to have been designed to be similar in background and characteristics to Maxim, so it’s not too much of a stretch that they were supposed to mimic Grant’s playstyle if nothing else.
