#the original line was 'to close friends and associates' but i didn't want to alienate anyone who wanted to

[beevean]

For the character thing: Zero and Hector!

Zero:

favorite thing about them: his character arc in the Zero series and his cool attitude. His gameplay is also super fun too :D

least favorite thing about them: how he stole X's role as the protagonist in his own series. Good thing he eventually got his own series, but man, in games like X4 you'd almost forget the blue guy is there.

favorite line: "I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero… I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate… If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!"

brOTP: XZero, I love their close friendship <3

OTP: Zerociel. Very much like their development and how they make each other better :) and, yeah, XZero works romantically too, I just think their bond is wholesome no matter what.

nOTP: uhh I don't know? Does... Does Zero/Sigma exist? Don't answer it.

unpopular opinion: don't think I have one, I don't closely associate with the MM fandom lol.

song i associate with them: Falling Down, his most memorable moment of glory.

favorite picture of them

Hector:

favorite thing about them: his whole character arc of him learning to accept his own humanity and worth <3

least favorite thing about them: the implication that he fell in love with Julia because she looks a lot like Rosaly. Dude. That's a dick move >:( and it's not like the narrative is complex enough to explore the kind of trauma that would lead him to latch on people like that :\

favorite line: “Even if the world of man rejects me… Even if I were to not have a place to exist… Even if I were to be hated… Even so… I am human. I sought this power so that I could remain human! Not for anyone’s sake! For me!! For myself!! Not to be the pawn in some ridiculous plot for revenge!!”

brOTP: Helia! I want them to be friends :D

OTP: Hectaly my beloved ;A; they're so stinking cute and they have a warm chemistry and FUCK YOU ISAAC YOU JEALOUS SLUT. Also yeah I very much like Isaactor in that "they could have been something more, if life didn't doom them to grow apart" way.

nOTP: Lenector lol. Absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. Don't really have one in game, but I guess my least favorite ship with him is Aluctor (I just don't feel they'd have an interesting chemistry)

random headcanon: he names his Devils after mythological Greek figures, to honor his origins.

unpopular opinion: he's not just Angry Dude lol. Even more unpopular, N!Hector started out as a perfectly valid interpretation of pre-betrayal Hector, what with his very alien view of humankind, and if he only betrayed Dracula of his own instead of being used by Girlboss Vampire (with all that it lead to), I would have had far less problems with him.

song i associate with them: Awake by Ok Goodnight. In my opinion it perfectly fits Hector's growing sense of self worth and his escape from Castlevania. (the bridge is ofc the fight with Isaac)
