And lets not forget that there are other mythological beings that can kick a Banshee ass anytime, specially in Brazilian Mythology.
For example, Bradador, the brazilian equivalent of a Banshee, wich its name means "The Howler" or "The Screamer". Bradador is a spirit whose screams can make People shiver in fear and even kill them at close range. They are extremely violent spirits, and the only way to defeat them is if your name is Maria and you meet him 3 times and give him a blessing so he can rest in peace.
And Yes, you are right. Her concept of a Banshee comes from Sylvanas Windrunner.
One factor that I think is worth pointing out about Lily's mischaracterization of Gardevoir as some sort of "badass banshee" creature is that it's not just Gardevoir that is mischaracterized, but banshees too: Lily seems to be under the impression that banshees are these powerful female figures that go around striking fear into people's hearts with screams that outright deal physical damage and also they're way better and stronger and cooler than every other mythical monster or some shit when in actual Irish folklore (where banshees originate from), the scream of a banshee was merely heralding the impending death of someone in whichever family that particular banshee was a part of. So yeah, turns out that banshees aren't these awesomesauce epic ghostfairy warrior ladies that go around screaming to actively cause harm to anybody they cross, they're literally just preemptively mourning a family member.
Keep in mind that this mischaracterization of a well-known monster is coming from someone who claims that people aren't allowed to portray vampires and werewolves as anything other than evil aristocrats and predators respectively because that's what those creatures originally represented.
That's actually a very good point. I never thought about that.
But this is a classic case of Lily being a hypocrite and doing things she accuses others of doing.
For some reason, I have hunch her understanding of banshees come from games. I have nothing to prove this. It's just a speculation.

Now that i gave this random fact i gotta go
Bye
Thats a good wisdom
Gobbo of tumblr, give me your wisdom
We wouldn’t have tequila without bats
Thinking in playing the Game Boy Castlevania games and i learned the now not-canon lore of Sonia Belmont and Alucard from Castlevania Legends...
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ALUCARD FUCKED A BELMONT AND HAD A CHILD WITH HER?!
IF THEY KEPT THIS CANON THAT WOULD MAKE RICHTER HIS GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDSON?!
Yesterday i made a post about a crackship i made
About Juste belmont from Castlevania and Nino Nakano from Gotoubun no hanayome.
Basically these 2.
And i must say i was extremely sleep deprived because of Insônia + trying to make my books go forward, so i must explain some things on why i imagined this crackship.
Basically... I hate the part of the anime that shows that the girls didnt move away from their feelings of the main character even though he already made his choice. Sure a bad choice, but still, a bad decision from the author. Nino still is best girl.
And Juste Belmont... Is such a badass Belmont. The anime of Netflix dont give him Justice, specially that i beat Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance 2 days ago and goddamn he is so cool man.
Best Castlevania for GBA, would play again.
And considering these 2 factors, i just had a thought
What if they met and something more happened?
In my defence, i got too inspired by those Nanami X Tiana shippers and i like both of these characters
So here i go
I really Love how in Land Before Time, in less than 2 movies, Plesiosaurus changed from "Im gonna rip off your fucking face" to "Hi children, im gonna help you get home safely. By the way littlefoot your grandpa is Hot."
But i also imagine them as being 2 different species with one being more agressive than the other.
Its wrong to ship different species?
Pai do Mato, or Wild Father in a rough translation, is a giant entity that protects The nature around The center of Brazil. He has The size of a Hill and a body made of Dirt and Woods, with a blue nose. He is so big that He has a forest around its body. To make friends with him, you must give him Cachaça, or Beer. His piss smells like Vinegar.
Also called M'boitatá or just Boitatá, this is a Giant Snake made of fire, with eyes covering its body, who is also a guardian of nature, being against Wildfires in the Woods. Boitatá eyes can shoot fire beams, and looking directly at his eyes can either blind or kill you.
Cramunhão, or The Devil in the bottle, is the name given to a demon who made a powerful deal with a human.
The Deal is simple: The Demon will stay inside a bottle and give to the human everything he desires during a certain amount of time. Then when The time is over, The Demon will take The soul of the human straight down to hell. To summon a Cramunhão, you must take care of a Rooster Egg (Yes, you heard me. A ROOSTER egg) under your armpit until it hatches. During this time, you are forbidden to do anything related with God or the Church. Also, dont following these rules can make the Demon attack, curse or even kill you in response. Also, the true appearence of the Devil in The Bottle is a Mistery, as no one except the human who made the deal can see it.
Cobra Norato and his sister Maria Caninan are 2 demigods from Brazilian Mythology, who are The son and daughter of Boiuna, The Giant Snake. Both of them are very powerful entities, and both are very known in Brazil.
They are both twins, but are also very different themselves. Cobra Norato is described as being Kind, gentle and romantic, also a friend of humanity. As for his sister, Maria Caninana is explosive, violent and does not hesitate in eating or poison humans if she wants to. Both of them have incredible powers, but Cobra Norato have also The Power of turning into a man, but only at night. His sister does not hold The same Power.
According to the legend, both of them had a fight once because Maria Caninana wanted to destroy an entire human City by waking up one of their Half-Brothers, a Church Snake. Cobra Norato stopped her and their fight caused a thunderstorm, wich ended with Maria Caninana being defeated. After that, Cobra Norato became The protector of everyone who would get closer to rivers, and his sister became his enemy, causing Whirlpools to drag People directly into her mouth.
Boiúna, also known as Cobra Grande or The Giant Snake, is an ancient God who have The form of a Giant Snake. His size is unprecise, but he is supposed to be as big as The Amazon River itself in some versions. He is The God of all Water Courses and father of all Snakes and Cobras in Brazil.
Boiúna have a huge amount of Power, being capable of causing floods, Thunderstorms and even Earthquakes, sometimes by accident by just moving his Huge Body. Boiuna created all rivers and water courses just by moving his body around Brazil.
As being the father of all Snakes and Cobras, Boiúna had a bunch of powerful kids, known as Church Snakes. They are as big as their father, and are also very powerful. They are called Church Snakes because of a thing: Because of their size and Might, they spend a lot of time sleeping. Churches were built above their heads and tails, and they cant get up because they feel The presence of God and The Virgin Mary, wich makes them not get in mood to wake up. In Nazaré, a Brazilian City on The North, there is a religious ritual called Círio de Nazaré, where its believed by some natives to not only be a Catholic Party but also a way to prevent The Church Snake who sleeps under The City from Waking up, as they believe Holy Mary herself steps on The snake Head and keeps it asleep. There are registers of at least 10 Church Snakes around The Country, but there may be more.
The legend also says that when all Church Snakes wake up, they will cause an Earthquake so big that The entire country of Brazil will sink in the Ocean. A small Earthquake who happened in Nazaré was blamed by some locals as The Sleeping Church Snake "moving her tail while sleeping.".
Juste Belmont: How the hell did i end up in this world?
"Nino" Nakano: You literally fell from the sky on top of our building branding a whip and a bible while screaming BY THE POWER OF THE LORD I BANISH YOU, FOWL BEAST!
Juste: Im surprised on how you can do a good impression of me.
"Nino": I can do a good impression of almost everyone~
Juste: You are a good actress, Ichika.
Ichika: What?! *Takes off her Nino disguise* How did you knew it was me?
Juste: You all are different in your own.
Ichika: You are no fun at all.
