butch lesbian trans richter is my forever and always. annette lesbian of course, she is femme. i respect lesbian maria so highly although i see her as bisexual/sapphic and nonbinary for sure. i am also terribly fond of transfem alucard and i also see them as nonbinary as hell (its canon). i think aroace alucard is so extremely valid but i also like them as being sapphic/nb4nb. juste and maxim are gay OFC, i think juste takes a while to realize but maxim kinda knew the whole time (about juste too), as for gender i think maxim is a trans man and juste is bigender (later in life, around the time he realizes he is gay), and lydie im obsessed with her as the lesbian aunt. all of the maidens are lesbian/sapphic to me also. the succubus has no gender or sexuality, just Evil
drop y'alls headcanons too‼️

Here are some of mine: -Transfem Sypha -Transmasc Soma -Bisexual nonbinary Alucard -juste and maxim were gay as hell
And lots more but those are the main ones apart from Obviously Canon stuff like Shanoa, Laura, Carmilla, Monica, and the other Laura being lesbians

well considering the fact that most of the characters lived and died long before our modern definitions of gender and sexuality existed, i don't think any of them would have concrete Identities like "gay," "transgender," etc.
that being said alucard is exclusively attracted to men. i know this in my heart of hearts.

of course, i definitely dont think they are in-universe identifying as these things, but that they still Are That and im only applying modern definitions so that it makes sense and i dont have to go into extreme detail about what it means in the context of their situation, which is why i struggle to label richter, alucard, and juste specifically. again, just a convenience thing
but also, our modern definitions still ring true to the human condition of identity/sexuality/gender even if they wouldnt know what tf youre talking about if you say something like "transmasc nb4nb aroace" etc
i actually could go on and on about how i view richter and annette specifically- since butch/femme are terms created in a specific circumstance/culture, and how their relationship created a similar sanctuary that butch/femme lesbians found in their bars

we cannot argue against the canon lesbians though :P literally 100% real i was like "i better not see shanoa and laura in this thread because that is CANON" /lighthearted statement, not the canonicity part but the tone
gay and trans folk have existed throughout all of human history though for sure even if they didnt identify themselves the way we do. they just WERE

In my mind Alucard is a gay dude who's perpetually single. hes just like me fr
Julius is ftm and I know this to be true because only an ftm could have that fashion sense.
I like thinking of Soma the same way because of the whole fate vs will thing being a very transgender narrative thematically.
Belschine and Shalaura feel more like in-text than headcanon to me tbh, they don't come from out of nowhere (there's more basis for viewing Maxim as Juste's love interest than Lydie, I think it's almost kind of unfair for her to be automatically put in the category just because she's a girl and his friend? He lies to her over something really serious at the end of the game, I don't think she deserves that). Also Monica flirting with Shanoa too that girl is a chick magnet (good for her!) and Isaac's whole... Everything (he's a gay character made for straight women but I'm a little bit into it)

characters who have very transgender narratives:
alucard sypha soma
and for all three it can easily be spun transfem or transmasc (or literally anything else!)
narratives that are about identity crisis and change of identity ring so true for all kinds of trans folk

I just know he's aromantic and bisexual. To Me anyway Regarding sex specifically (without going into too much detail, and do lmk if I need to delete this anyway!), I know a lot of people headcanon Alucard as being ace, uninterested in sex, or simply abstaining due to his Curséd Bloodline™, and I totally get why and I support that. But my personal favorite interpretation is that he does very much enjoy sex, but he's just... you know... reasonable about it, and also not interested in romance. Of course this is out of a desire to see characters like myself as an aromantic bisexual person, but also I dunno, I feel like it's too common for people to view characters as being into sex and make that like, their entire personality and make them have no boundaries. I find this unrealistic and irritating. In real life it's perfectly normal to be interested in sex and not have it be a big deal and keep it a separate thing from your professional life and all that. It doesn't have to be a whole Thing, yknow? So that's how I view Alucard- He's aromantic, he enjoys sex sometimes, and his whole AUGH I HAVE TO KILL MY DAD FOR THE 7246TH TIME OHHHH THE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT MY CURSED BLOODLINE thing is unrelated. If this makes any sense. Aside from that, I'm pretty flexible. I think a lot of the Belmonts have bi swag though lol especially Richter

I think a lot of the Belmonts have bi swag though lol especially Richter i like headcanon where alucard does enjoy earthly pleasures like uh, this, but also things like a good meal and a warm bath. things that just feel good to humans, to me it goes to show that alucard is human as well as a vampire, so in a way that headcanon COULD work in tandem with their identity crisis about being an evil monster who sleeps for hundreds of years and doesnt need anybody. i really enjoy a character who is so sure on something about themselves but actually have tendencies that oppose that idea

Guy who stumbles out of the castle covered in blood eyes empty with the horrors he's witnessed and is like "Maybe I should get McDonald's for dinner tonight. I deserve it"

OH I FORGOT TO MENTION: Simon as a gay man and Selena Hauntedcastle as a lesbian, with the two of them in an amicable lavender marriage and coparenting situation. Simon gets to ~continue the Belmont bloodline~ and Selena gets to escape societal demands to find a husband, without either of them having to deal with the heterosexual romantic expectations that come with these things. It really solves a lot of problems, it's kind of a win-win for- WHAT'S THIS? IT'S DRACULA WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!

I have general headcanon about the Belmonts having a whole like... archive of spells and alchemy going all the way back, which all revolve around sexuality and gender from things that are kind of silly, spells you might see and laugh at, to like. bodily transformations. Spell of hrt. Alchemical top surgery. It's extremely under the wraps stuff for most of history at least, but magic and alchemy is canon so why not?
Sort of expanding on this. Leon Belmont is Extremely transgender to me. He just feels that way. Mathias is/was the only one who Knew, and most of the basic/foundational spells of the Belmont Archive were... things Mathias either wrote himself or altered and expanded on for Leon's sake, that Leon recovered from his estate after the events of LOI. Leon also DID have to have the realization of "oh my god. Mathias did alchemy on me" when Rinaldo explained it to him. ...this makes it sound like he felt freaked out about it but I think at worst he'd be like ":( he could have told me, I could keep a secret for him too!"
I also think all four of Sara+Leon+Mathias+Elisabetha/Lisa are bisexual but on a sliding scale of acceptance. Like, Leon is deep in denial and trying very hard to not acknowledge it. Sara is aware but still feels the lingering Catholic Repression. And then Mathias and Elisabetha are both aware and comfortable about it. Sorry for the world's evilest bi rep (Mathias)
By power of association and nothing else, nonbinary Joachim.
Sypha is so extremely transgender woman to me that whenever I see her written as cis I am always briefly baffled by it. She didn't make her reveal and have the narration note that she was "finally starting to be comfortable with herself" to not be read transgenderly!!! I think her and Trevor are bi4bi also but Trevor specifically has an arc of >starting to fall for Sypha before she comes out >Sypha comes out >oh okay I AM heterosexual actually! :) and then he doesn't pursue that thought.
Alucard to me has genders going on. sexualities too. I think that if I had to choose, transgender and gay would be my first impulse, but that's because I'm transgender and gay! he is like an LGBT mirror in which the observer will look at him and go "well clearly he's [x] (<-the observer is also [x])" /JOKE
Juste and Maxim are gay, we all know this. However I think that Juste is also like... genderfluid, any pronouns. switch it up for her. Any relationship they're in is gay to them.
Richter to me is nonbinary...they/them. I think they went through most of their life feeling something was Off but not being quite able to articulate it, overcompensating for it by trying to be as masc as possible... and then possession happens and inhibitions drop and they don't care? And then they come out of it with a new gender.
Soma is transhet. to me. I think it's funny if he's one of the few characters in Castlevania who IS straight. He does have that transgender swag though !

Most importantly that meme is DELIGHTFUL. I have never seen a better picture in my entire life.

I have never seen a better picture in my entire life. I'm glad you like my meme, and I mean this in a gentle way but that's kind of a weird thing to say after telling me that you disagree with my interpreting him in the way the meme is referring to You can talk about your headcanons for Alucard without having to single out mine... Sorry if I sound whiny, it's just that as an allo aro it feels like people always feel compelled to shut me down when I suggest a character might be like me. lol
