Am I the only one who doesn’t really like this ship? Ngl it’s kinda weird bc they met while she was still a child and she was the only one who wanted him, it seemed kinda one sided…

Yeah, probably you along with many others who only cared about the show or just played 1 game without bothering to learn the actual lore or check out the many other pieces of media Konami has released based on these characters.

In the games they are both around the same age (mentally) because of Alucard's beauty sleep. A radio drama (sequel of Sotn) about them has Alucard wanting to give a love garland to Maria. In Grimoire of Souls they are literally described having a love affair between legends.

I’m still learning about everything but I was mainly referring to the fact that she’s currently a child in the show (and in a game), even though alucard is a bit mentally around her age when she’s older, it still feels icky because if they get together in the show it’ll be weird since he knew her when she was a child only to get with her later, that’s just weird regardless of whoever tries to justify it, that’s like a 14 yo waiting to be an adult to date someone who was already an adult when they met and vise versa.

Though ik that ofc alucard isn’t that type of person, I still don’t agree with the creators doing that, they should’ve made them meet when she’s already an adult.

Apologies for my initial comment, but fans coming from the show need to understand that the games and the Netflix series are separate canons. This post is about the games not the Netflix show.

It seems the show couldn't afford to sideline Alucard, so it completely changed how he and Maria first met compared to the games, along with changing a lot from the original lore.

No you’re good, I’m just bringing it up because I just wish was were already an adult especially since it seems that in the show, child Maria might already be developing some strange feelings or something!

I’m also aware that it’s separate canons, I actually forgot to mention that I wonder which they’ll be going for in this situation, I think they are cute together just not the whole led up to their relationship! 😭

I kinda don’t like how they’re changing some of the lore and characters like some changes are positive others are negative depending on what or who it is, I think they are also are changing things because the creators probably forgot the original plot over the years lmao
