Anton Castillo - Tumblr Posts
Well, this took a couple days to make. Probably my longest digital drawing(s) yet! These three connect to my FC3! Diego AU, because I wanted to draw something for it in a fully realistic style (and also because I wanted to draw something cool)

Whoooo boy, ok this is long! It migth take a few minutes to scroll through 👀
Vaas was born in Yara, rigth in the Castillo residence. Both Antón and her wife were fairly young, just in their 30s and recently married. The residence - once a summer house in Antón’s chilhood - was given to them by Antón’s brother as a marriage present (The same house Antón shows Diego in the Rite of Passage comics)
Mama Castillo was a very soft spoken, polite woman. Her family was on the poorer side, being one of many siblings. So, when she announced her engament to Antón her family was more than happy to accept their marriage.
Antón being an up-and-coming politican at the time, just staring to plan out how he would run for presidency, made sure to get brownie points any way he could. And this was what caused the start of the strain on his marriage. He got in touch with a wrong people and stacked up an insane amount of debt, which he couldn’t pay.
It turned out that those people were slavers (an early version of the Pirates basically), and since Antón couldn’t pay they demanded him to give over something entirely else. That being a now six year old Vaas.
Agreeing was the worst decision and nor Antón or Mama Castillo ever recovered. Mama Castillo fell ill a few days after after all the stress and worrying for her boy. Antón? Ofcourse he was worried aswell, but didn’t want to show this infront of his wife. He made sure to hide any uncertain emotions just to seem calm and collected. And he carried this with him all the way to his presidency.
Meanwhile little Vaas gets taken to the Rooks, where he ends up in a prison camp. He’s scared shitless, but which six year old wouldn’t be? You’ve just been taken away from your parents, you don’t know where you are and you don’t understand what they’re saying to you because you don’t speak the language. Luckily the Rakyat was already at war with the slavers and liberated the prison camp just a week later.
Vaas was already covered by smaller scars by the time the camp got liberated. He couldn’t stop shivering, didn’t even let a Rakyat doctor touch him until the doctor spoke to him in spanish. Since he was so small and already showing signs of malnourishment the Rakyat took him in, specifically Citra’s family who was nine year old small girl at that time.
He learned to speak english from Citra and the other children but he never actually learnt how to read or write.
Citra was already fascinated with the perfect warrior story even as a little girl, wouldn’t stop telling about it to her new little brother. And when she was chosen as the Warrior Goddes - as per Rakyat - and tradition her first fitting candidate for a perfect warrior was none other than said little brother, now in his teens.
Vaas was completly oblivious until Citra made him drink something. Going through the worst possible drug trip of his life the next thing he knew when he regained conciousness was his own sister, well, taking advantage of him. Even he doesn’t know how but he managed to escape, now with a gaping slash wound above his brow stretching up to his scalp from a kukri. (The same knife both Buck and Citra are looking for.)
Back home, Mama Castillo falls pregnant again, despite reaching her 50s. Antón is happy to say the least, but Mama Castillo? All the memories of her sweet boy that was taken from her flooding back all at once wasn’t healthy for her. She didn’t live through childbirth and Antón was left as a widow with a newborn son named Diego.
Due to his wife’s passing and the fact that he willingly abonded his oldest Antón becomes overprotiective of Diego, almost helicopter parent like (but in a strict way) not willing to go through the pain of losing a child again.
Half a month after his escape from Citra and the Rakyat, Vaas meets Hoyt who recently came into power after killing the previous overlord (The man Antón became indebted to). Hoyt recognized Vaas, hearing about him from the previous overlord and seeing how the freshly twenty year old boy was desperate he offered him a job as a right hand man and thus, the Pirates were formed.
Hoyt took the first oppurtunity he could get to pump Vaas full of drugs, make him addicted so he couldn’t escape. This was also the perfect time according to Hoyt to tell Vaas how his real father willingly gave up on him.
Vaas, now going through existential dread since both of his families betrayed him starts destroying himself with anything he could think of: smoking, stronger/heavier drugs, self harm even. He found the most comfort in drugs, since whenever he was high, going through various trips an image of a younger woman would always comfort him, talking sweetly to him and he knew this woman was familiar. But he just couldn’t figure out why.
During the start of the summer of 2012 (roughly a month before Far Cry 3′s events) Antón visited the islands to conduct business with Hoyt, brining a now five year old Diego with him. Hoyt wasn’t exactly fond of the idea of tolerating a little shit of a toddler while they talked business, so he tasked Vaas with the lovely task of babysitting a toddler while his father discussed a drug deal.
Ever since Hoyt told him about his real family, Vaas despised the name Castillo. When he learned that the five year old he had to look after was a Castillo too, he thougth about drowning him right then and there. But, he soon changed his attitude when he figured out that Diego, was in fact, his little brother.
Vaas quickly grew fond over Diego. From taking 2 hour naps with him (even though Vaas was probaly passed out and Diego just cuddled up to him) to showing all the cool little places he found when he was in his teens. He’s just happy to have a family member than didn’t utterly disappoint him.
When Antón and Hoyt finally finish business after week, Vaas brings Diego back but before Antón could leave he calls him aside. At first Vaas is screaming, throwing everything he could at him and then breaking down, almost on his knees begging his father to take him back home, how he hates this island, how he hates the people here, how he hates Hoyt and so on and so on. Once Diego chimed in Antón didn’t really have much of a choice.
Hoyt was furious, how couldn’t he be? The most valuable little puppet was ditching him rigth infront of him. But did Vaas care what Hoyt think? No he doesn’t. Not anymore. Once he arrives back to Yara he notices the pictures in their home. A woman with long, loosley braided brown hair. Vaas instantly recognizes her as the woman from his various drug induced trips. Findig out that woman is Mama Castillo, his mother was comforting. And probably for the first time ever, he could relax.
omg 😭 you can’t hurt vaas, vaas is the gay disappointment sibling so he’s already bulletproof from ANY roast that isn’t from his father (or Hoyt. Roast him on anything but about his dad and he’ll walk away on the verge of a meltdown)
I feel like he’d always have something stronger to say back, but when it comes to Antón or his other family members (aka Mama and Diego) that’s where he would get angry.
The ones about Antón, he gets because his dad is a piece of shit, yes, but it still hurts. The ones that pick on Mama or Diego? That’s where I imagine he’d be at anyone’s throat with a knife in hand. Because first, they’re talking shit about a dead woman who’s son never got to meet her, and second, they’re talking shit about a kid who’s the only decent person in Vaas’ life
And Hoyt likes to take advantage of that.
god imagine how hilarious and messy it would be for bhadra to go eat dinner with the castillos alone just by virtue of vaas being who he is and anton being well... anton
Ohoho it would be! If Mama was there, she would be the chattiest! Mostly asking Bhadra about her life in Kyrat. (I think she would also pester Diego into asking Bhadra her favorite food so she could make it when she comes over.)
Antón would be a little intimidating at first (probably reminding Bhadra of Pagan). He would also ask question mainly about how she met his son and so on, so on. In the end I wouldn't say they'd get along but atleast she wouldn't be as scared of him.
And then there is Vaas. The island life (mainly Citra) did him dirty, so he doesn't really trust women/girls around him nor his little brother. He would be suspicious of Bhadra first and maybe he'll always be, just a little bit but atleast he's happy that Diego's happy.
*anton voice* Haha, Ajay, you are banging my son
*also anton voice* Haha, Bhadra, you are holding hands with my son
A very quick, very messy painting of Mama and Antón
Some more FC3!Diego headcanons
- After Mama’s death, Antón commisioned a 40x60 inch painting of her. That painting is now hung above the fireplace in the living room, her ashes placed infront of it.
- The urn is also surrounded by the flowers that grew arround her family’s cabbage farm.
- Even though Vaas is finally reunited with his family, Antón still doesn’t show him or talk about him in interviews. It wouldn’t be good for his image if the people found out he sold his son to slavers when he was six, now would it?
- The tables are turned! Now Vaas is the one to go Diego when he has a nightmare. He couldn’t stay in his room because of how empty and quiet it was. That changed when Ajay first came over.
It’s late nigth Mama and Antón brainrot hour!
Not a question, but a hypophysis: "Cheating on your Roblox girlfriend" is cannon for FC3!Diego AU (it's a youtube video, can't put the link sorry ;p)
It took me a hot minute to find the video but, YES. 7-8 year old Diego definietly played Roblox and spend time with his big brother at the same time, so, ofcourse Vaas would catch him in the act. Then cue a scene, where Vaas is trying to tell Antón, tears in his eyes from laughing while a screaming Diego tries to desperetly hold him back.
Batch no. 2 is here, featuring Antón and the twins, Mickey and Lou : D !! You can get ‘em here!
After a random enlighment in the middle of class, I bring you these far cry villian stickers with even more to come : D !!
You can put your grabby hands on ‘em here!
Become the Villain.
Inside the villain's mind.

So im a crappy writer but I do want to get better. So I was wondering if I should attempt to make a Anton x dani fic here? Or do a headcannon thing?
Just something to work on my writing and also to just be more active. I'm not the best so I don't expect raging reviews lmao.
If y'all would like to see that tell me.
One mission rlly fucked me up.
The last one standing treasure mission. I know it's not the saddest it it made me tear up XD
Basically you have to flip three switches. A mom set up a puzzle for her three kids. Two sons one daughter. She tells her kids how she is already dead. While flipping the switches you found three bodies a girl and a guy. One was poisoned to death in their home and the other was tied up with a bag over their head.
When you find the hidden room with the last switch there is a note from the last sibling saying they just got here only to find their siblings dead and they can't imagine life without them.
They died in that room protecting the switch so the soldiers won't get to the gift their mom left them and their siblings.
When you get into the room there is a note from the mom saying she is so happy she can rest in peace knowing her gift will keep her children safe.
And that just killed me inside.
I've been thinking about it this whole time and I'm just so saaaad.
And apparently according to Dani's dialog she knew these people years ago
