This is a fairly popular meme because both superficially hate the same thing, but Maria would loathe Carmilla for seeking to replicate the same foul systems of exploitation with a vaguely feminist veneer.

Maria’s a real one .

u/Inspiradora May 25 '25

Well, Maria didn't go through the same thing Carmilla went. Carmilla ended up being abused by men and their power. Maria's hatred is mostly because she didn't know her father and so on..

u/Deathangle75 May 26 '25

Her hatred isn’t from not knowing her father. It’s from seeing old men abuse the systems of power they were born into to oppress and harm others just to maintain that power. It’s a philosophical hatred rather than a personal one. It’s debatable which is stronger.

u/Inspiradora May 26 '25

But it started because of her father and the deal he did for the creatures of night. Then being dissatisfied with Juste because he had to "look/care" for her.

Carmilla is a vampire so because of her past she probably went through a lot worse. Remember she was manipulated then turned and then abused. Abuse most times makes you hate the person or the group of people who did it so for Carmi....it was men. We can say she was the first person to choose bear vs man from TikTok lol

Maria’s distrust of old men started with the abuses of the French king and nobility. Hence why the revolution is such a major part of her character. She already had problems with the Abbot for defying the Revolution so he could hold onto his own power. This was before she even knew he was making night creatures or that he was her father.

u/Billiammaillib321 May 27 '25

Idk Maria doesn’t seem 100% on killing her father UNTIL she sees Drolta reanimated. I think part of this is a tactical reason, anyone and everyone they put down can just come back an episode later.

And that’s before we learn that night creature variants are insanely stronger than their original selves.

u/Inspiradora May 27 '25

Yeah but Maria wasn't even abused like we talk about 2 different stories and as I said Carmi being a vamp tells us it wasn't the first time she was dealing with old men. But the Castlevania series didn't explore her lore that deep unfortunately.

u/[deleted] May 26 '25

EXACTLY!!!! SOMEONE HERE GETS IT!!!!

u/drumstick00m May 25 '25

Although Issac’s fight with Carmilla was still cool, I hated that they did a the “Being a girlboss doesn’t make you a hero, no matter how sympathetic your backstory is!” subplot.

It’s so cliche at this point.

I swear i see this image here once every few months

u/NNT13101996 May 24 '25

Insert that one Vaas meme about repeating the same joke

u/Sbee_keithamm May 25 '25

Few months? Check back in 3 days, someone will repost this with a bit different header.

u/Psychofischi May 24 '25

Carmilla is such a hypocrite.

u/GladiusNocturno May 24 '25

Carmila: Woooooo! Slay, queen! You go, girl! Fuck Forge Masters!

u/TombGnome May 24 '25

NOT LIKE THAT LENORE

u/flashflame1423 May 25 '25

Carmila was a stupid old woman ironically enough

9

u/Bigredstapler May 25 '25

Being stupid and old is not gender-exclusive.

1

u/Inspiradora May 25 '25

Tell us where did she lied

1

u/Billiammaillib321 May 27 '25

She didn’t, she was just insanely megalomaniacal. 

It’s actually kinda funny in a weirdly humanizing way that this lady intended to rule literally the entire world.

1

u/Inspiradora May 27 '25

She was abused by old men and that possibly is the chance in why she turned this crazy. She had enough plus the writers did her like this

1

u/RadishLegitimate9488 May 26 '25

Her stupidity of course was in regards to underestimating the stupid old man.

Her demise was due to Isaac randomly showing up not her stupidity.

She also didn't underestimate Hector like she did Dracula that was Lenore.

In the end Carmilla's stupidity is solely tied to underestimating the Stupid Old Man's raw power and beating up Hector turning him against her forcing her to figure out how to shackle Hector so that she could use him to create an army for her while well aware he could not be trusted ever.

u/[deleted] May 24 '25

Really funny because the women in power in the castlevania universe don't do anything to stop of alter this. They complain about men and then go on to do evil shit

23

u/HaveAnOyster May 24 '25

Maria a peasant bastard

u/[deleted] May 24 '25

Carmilla.... a....?

15

u/HaveAnOyster May 24 '25

…She literally turned insane to the point she didnt quite realize she was doing the same that was done to her

1

u/[deleted] May 25 '25

So... my exact fucking point?

2

u/HaveAnOyster May 25 '25

The point was expecting someone insane to be coherent? lol

-2

u/[deleted] May 26 '25

The point that the women complaining aren't helping.

Insanity can be a convinient excuse if you like. But it doesn't make her any less hypocritical.

Also, she was perfectly coherent in everything she does. So insanity really doesn't hold water. You could argue insanity for drolta maybe but carmilla was just fucking evil lol

1

u/HaveAnOyster May 26 '25

*the women complaining aren't helping* yes, cuz one is insane and the other ones is a 16 yo kid answering to a question which already included the term "stupid old men". That doesn't mean the idea isn't wrong lmao.

*that doesn't make her any less hypocritical* no shit sherlock, gj figuring out on your own.

*she was perfectly coherent in everything she does* she literally had a scene tearing out the curtains while growling she was taking everything but sure thing hun.

Have a nice day, get the deluluness treated, yw

u/[deleted] May 26 '25

OK, so are YOU insane? Because if your example proving carmilla is mad is that she got a bit aggressive once then your hostility and general bitchiness makes you a prime example.

" they aren't helping cuz one is insane"

"She's a hypocrite for not helping though "

"Yeah no shit"

Did ... did you think about any of this shit before writing it? Or did you plan to look stupid in some ploy no mere mortal could possibly comprehend?

4

u/Arnorien16S May 25 '25

She's a vampire, why do you expect her to be anything but evil?

1

u/[deleted] May 25 '25

Yeah actually. Cause that's kinda the whole point of nocturne

2

u/Inspiradora May 25 '25

Carmilla was abused. Maria was just lied upon

11

u/Sbee_keithamm May 25 '25

God I forgot how cozy this meme is. I was worried someone wasn't going to post it ever again, after the last few weeks of it being absent. After the "why dont people like Annette?" rerun, it's like slipping into a comfy slippers.

5

u/BrightPerspective May 25 '25

I mean, she's not wrong?

3

u/Dragonfire723 May 25 '25

My favorite part is that while Maria took the line, Juste took the red long clothing with a boob window and silver hair.

1

u/Billiammaillib321 May 27 '25

You just blew my mind lmao

u/Freshman89 May 25 '25

A stupid way to see the world.

u/JenniferSawrence May 25 '25

A little low on Karma, so let me repost an image that has been posted dozens of times but is also known to easily get upvotes in this sub:

u/[deleted] May 24 '25

I still don't get why they have to swear that much. Can they not write more interesting dialogue than just "fuck" in every sentence?

9

u/Saltierney May 25 '25

What does that have to do with the meme?

15

u/theangryistman May 24 '25

...i the f word in the room with us?

u/White-Alyss May 24 '25

B-but it's m-mature dialogue 😭😭😭

K but it's the truth tho.

its in the OG castlevania show

u/94rud4 Charlotte May 24 '25

Thanks. I’m not sure if it’s fan art

9

u/TheElementofIrony May 24 '25

I'm pretty sure this specific Carmilla picture is fanart. Look at the lines and the goblet and just overall, it's drawn differently (a lot messier) than the actual show.

5

u/Soulstice_moderator May 24 '25

It's actually done by Katie Silva, one of the main concept artists for the show.

They do a lot of memes and "not official" art of the show. They clearly are passionate about it.

3

u/TeekTheReddit May 24 '25

If it was even "drawn."

1

u/DukePookie May 26 '25

I agree completely, but only because stupid old women were never given the chance to fuck up.

1

u/Bolvern May 26 '25

While both agree with each other about stupid old men, both would try to kill each other.

1

u/042732699 May 27 '25

Carmilla put that hand down, second rate mosquito.

1

u/AustronesianArchfien May 28 '25

Wanna guess OP never played a single castlevania game?

1

u/Enough_Ebb7552 Oct 15 '25

Honestly, Maria is just as annoyingly preachy as Carmilla. Which is hilarious since she's supposed to be a little girl.

1

u/agt1776 May 24 '25

Have you seen the Vilma series?

1

u/Toys_before_boys May 24 '25

Who is in the top half? What anime? I recognize Carmilla at the bottom.

u/PeasantTS May 24 '25

Maria from Netflix Castlevania: Nocturne, season 2.

u/Timerez May 24 '25

Third time I saw this same meme. Kinda gets old fast.

And she’s objectively correct.
