Dracula's castle on TV

[schneefink]

DD and I started watching Castlevania. Yesterday, the plan "finish a study session and then watch an episode as a reward" worked very well and I was very productive. Today the plan failed completely and we ended up finishing season 3. Fingers crossed for the next few days.

But. It was so good. I have many emotions. (And many fics bookmarked for later.) I did not expect that! The impression I got from Tumblr was that it was entertaining with strong OT3 vibes but not particularly good, and I'm surprised how much I love it. It's so pretty, and dark but not in a hopeless way (overall), and the characters have depth and development. It's sad but also kinda, hm, satisfying?, if that makes sense.
Not writing more rn because I haven't given up hope of being a little productive today or at least not going to bed very late, but hopefully later because have I mentioned I have many feelings.

I have heard nice things from friends who are gore enthusiasts. I think I did one or two episodes, but never even finished first season, maybe I should give it another look.

Yeah, being okay with a certain level of gore is necessary to enjoy the show. But iirc later seasons are not worse in that regard than season 1, so you can find out quickly if it is too much for you.

Oh, I'm very okay with gore, my attention just wandered off it. Guess it should go back on the list!
