The True Vampire, or TRUMP series, is a Japanese stageplay series set within a gothic world of humans and vampires and the doomed romances between them. The most infamous of these characters are the Delico and Fra families, whose tragic entertwining stories have been the focus of five different stageplays, depicting the complicated relationship between the two patriarchs as they attempt to solve the disappearance of some vampire children and carrying on all the way to the equally-complicated school days of their sons. Mysteries, murders, sword fights, and supernatural phenomena abound.
This anime series, titled Delico's Nursery, will serve as an interquel to these stageplays, but is also intended to be viewable as a standalone story. It will focus on Dali Delico and Gerhard Fra attempting to raise their children together in the wake of their wives' respective deaths. The original writer and director of the stageplays, Kenichi Suemitsu, returns to the same roles for the anime.
And before you ask, it's not a BL... Technically? But their respective marriages were arranged and lacking in passion beyond procreation, and Dali is canonically attracted to men and asks Gerhard out on a date at the end of one play, to which Gerhard acts tsundere but doesn't turn him down. I dunno how much of that will be addressed in this anime, given the style of the writer it will likely just be left at subtext, but yeah. Gay vampire dads.
I'll probably delete this but I tried doing a drawing of my bg3 oc Anastasia Blodthorne. I worked on this all day. Trying to get back into drawing. T.T
I am having fun playing with all the brushes, markers, and pens though.
god. god. the significance of the diary pages about claudia’s assault being torn out raggedly by Louis, clearly in a fit of guilt and anguish and trauma, vs the diary pages about louis mourning lestat and regretting killing him being removed with surgical control and precision. by armand. this wasn’t a heat of the moment action it was deliberate and calculated and I can’t stop thinking about it
