Shepherd Love Is A Mess

Shepherd Love is a mess ™️

Shepherd is one of my favorite characters in the series, but he is a little bit of a mess. See below.

He knows about magic and…. is part of an online community for it

When he was 18, he got drunk for the first time with a creek dryad who told him her life story.

He owes ‘at least 3 imps his firstborn’

Befriended trolls with bone broth

Midwifed a centaur foal

Helped a unfairy with taxes

Swore on his life he wouldn’t tell about the Snowbaz plus penny thing

Went backpacking with a Sasquatch and gave it his toothbrush

Met a water/river spirit… by introducing himself to it

Used to be a storm chaser now chases Magic because it’s more thrilling

Willingly goes into a vampire lair with not much hope of escaping alive.

Starts to try and tell a vampire named Josh his life story some highlights include: ‘My name is Shepard, I’m from Omaha’ and ‘My parents are divorced, how about you’

Tried to warn Josh the vampire that drinking his blood is a really really bad idea

Promptly kills that vampire when the vampire tried.

‘And I am also slightly… a little bit… cursed’

‘Wrong place, wrong time… a series of miscommunications and cultural differences’

The curse left him ‘well and truly fucked’

He’s now an illegal immigrant

He tried to get help from the curse from a genie

He learned of the curse ritual from ‘some guy I met’

He lost his third born child to a giant for the ritual

The demon he summoned? He actually got engaged to it…

He was not forced to marry it, he asked for its hand… on accident

He has tried to hook up with a fairy

It is highly implied that he has gone home with other creatures

He lost his firstborn child to three imps

Lost his last name by telling it to a fairy.

He got an STD from a merperson, but don’t worry, he’s only a carrier

The curse was labeled invalid because of how much if a wreck he is. See above.

Reddit refugees be like: wow! A place where I talk about my fandoms in a fun environment that I don’t have to find a specific subreddit that is most likely dead to post my opinions about a series, only to be downvoted to oblivion? Is this heaven?

It’s me. I’m Reddit refugees.

Hector and Isaac are so interesting and I can’t decide who I like more. I will admit to focusing solely on Trevor, Alucard, and Sypha in seasons 1-2, but can you blame me?

Isaac is complex and I can’t totally understand him but I do on a very minimal level. He flip flops around to me and has so many cool scenes in S3.

But Hector is like a kicked puppy… he is betrayed and used every step of the way, from before Dracula to Lenore. I think he has grown a lot, and now wants things other than necessities from the dungeon (in the dungeon he just wanted boots now he wants a life with Lenore and time to relax). He’s just a little simpler to understand so I guess he’s my favorite only because I can get his motivations.

I can’t wait to rewatch and see what I pick up on when actually knowing these two are main characters lol. Castlevania is so much better than I thought it would be…

For some reason I decided to start writing a fanfic, and I have never been more scared. Is there a right way to do this? A wrong way? I have an outline at least….

complaints about the fanfiction I'm working on.

It's the first one I've written, and I can't make the scenes flow from scene to scene, as Baz and Simon only meet once a week. I'm going to push on through the rough draft and see what happens. I'm still going to publish it, just to break the ice and get more confident, but it is so rough. Does anyone have any tips that could help me out a little? TIA.

Currently watching Yuri on Ice for the first time and it is amazing. Just finished episode 7 and that kiss? Oh my god it was awesome. But…
