GRETA/ALUCARD MONTH (2025) 11/01

DAY 01: Asking your permission.

Here we see Greta asking Adrian to lend her his coat and, blushed, he can't refuse~ She is wearing a nightgown that he gave her, so this probably happens in the morning.

...

Day 02: Here!

... PS: I never got the chance to join during the Greta x Alucard week from years ago, so I decided to make a personal project for 2025: Gretadrian Month! 1 draw for every one of the 30 days of November as my own way to make amends~

I really will never get the hate towards Greta.

Sure, I guess people didn’t take much to how late she came in and how a romance took place, but take that complaint to the studio and the writers.

There are characters that literally coerced others into sex, cold-blooded killers, and attempted genocide, but somehow a woman who puts her foot down is the one who annoys you. Oh and the “she’s mean to him” …mean to the man who was lashing insults unwarranted at Trevor, calling his family “mentally ill hoarders” just because he was uncomfortable in the Belmont hold that HE willingly stepped into?! (She’s not even mean… she didn’t trust him, which was understandable because the man was practically alcoholic and had dead corpses impaled in his front lawn. The village desperately needed help, her brother legit got killed in the process trying to seek it. He was the only option.)

and I’m not about to get into the topic of racism within this fandom because that plays the biggest role to a lot of y’all, whether you want to admit it or not.

Like why are you bitching at people who happens to like a harmless ship/character? You can block the words and people, you know. Blocking is a free feature.

She may not be interesting to you, but she’s not a bad character.

A lot of you need to fucking chill. I’m not trying to deal with people talking down on me cause I just enjoy a damn ship that’s not even problematic. Like this is why folks don’t like to heavily engage in fandom spaces anymore.

It’s tired.

GRETA/ALUCARD MONTH (2025) 11/02

DAY 02: Sun meets the moon.

I was only going to draw Greta and Adrian as kids based on the ☀️ & 🌙 Trope; but I decided to add their normal versions in a similar pose behind them! For his moon, she is the sun~

...

Day 01: Here! Day 03: Here!

...

PS: The kiddie Greta's clothing are a mix of her 2 alternative clothes from the Artbook~ ✨

GRETA/ALUCARD MONTH (2025) 11/12

DAY 12: I'll crawl home to her.

Alucard is so excited to give his wife the green rose he found that he crawls up the castle walls towards Greta's bedroom window. She's resting there because they're expecting their first child. Yes, Green roses are real & they symbolize new beginnings, life, abundance, hope, fertility & rejuvenation. They're often given to celebrate new jobs, new babies, or other fresh starts & can also signify good fortune & prosperity.

...

Day 11: Here! Day 13: Here!

...

PS: Ignore the ugly way I drew the walls LOL

[shadechu]

When some people says "Gretacard is open-minded, just buddies" or "Alucard never showed interest for Greta in a romantic way"…

And I can only think in THAT SCENE where he bows to her…

No, i'm not talking about the "Draculisa parallelism" here

Do you know what happened there?

She blushed for him

And do I need to tell you what Alucard did?

Exactly, he smiled to her

He smiled because of her blush

He smiled because of GRETA, in a romantic way in that scene

And that wasn't the only time he smiled seeing her, he smiled like this before:

And like this:

What is the problem then?

Why he cannot like her?

Why he cannot love her?

They are not only "aNoThEr sTrAiGhT cOuPLe", they're both bisexuals and they can develop a mutual, romantic interest for each other WITHOUT stopping being bisexuals

You don't need to like the ship, you don't need to ship it neither, but don't deny the facts about it only because It wasn't the ship you wanted

Stop forcing headcanons over the canon, Alucard started to heal when Greta entered in his life

He started to smile (and even laugh) again thanks to her

And he doesn't needed to have sex with Greta, nor Kiss her, neither have a threesome to recover from his trauma. He only needed a friend who could listen to him, understand him, giving advice to him and help him to start to open again.

She was there for him after he was lost, not knowing what to do with his lonely life

He was happy at the end not because of a fanon ot3, but because he recovered WHAT HE WANTED (his friends) and also OBTAINED WHAT HE NEEDED (his own life, another friend who could become his own romantic partner in the future)

He said he was weirdly happy because he wasn't alone anymore

Please, don't take Greta's credit regarding his happiness

PS: Even if I disagree over Trevor and Sypha's relationship here: they were openly expressing love for each other (and more than once) in a different way, one more casual and natural, which was one of my favorite things from the third season uwu)b

But the entire article is gold, pure gold ✨

Original source:

As impressive as the Castlevania anime’s love stories are with Dracula and Lisa, and Trevor and Sypha, the series’ best romance is a new one

Castlevania theory: Greta of Danesti comes from Grant Danasty's Dynasty?

Even if they denied that Greta's character was a reference to Grant Danasty from Dracula's Curse, they cannot stop our imagination about it. This theory is only a "WHAT IF", trying to imagine how Grant's presence could have been added to the continuity of the animated series.

So, let's start with what Adi Shenkar said in an interview regarding Grant's existence in the series:

He wasn't a main character like in the Game, sure… but he's there, in the same world. We saw a lot of people surviving in the show, Trevor & Sypha travelled a lot, then so…

What if they had already met Grant while they were in their journey? Trevor said they crossed ways with a guy that called himself the "Pirate of the roads" (St. Germain mentioned him too)

There were 2 Quotes regarding this "Pirate of the roads"…

And the show-runners said this could have been a nod to our dear pirate, so why not?

Until this point, we can tell Grant's character is travelling like Trevor&Sypha (not together, but) probably they're doing the same thing: helping people out there. In the game, Grant's ending says he started to rebuild the destroyed areas of Wallachia after Dracula's defeat

Greta & Grant are seen like different characters in this continuity, but it's not an impediment to the possibility of them being related. S4 showed that things like royalty (nobility?) are irrelevant with monsters out there, so what if Danasty had origins from a noble dynasty?

What if Grant is older than Trevor&Sypha in the animated series?

What if he came from a noble house (Danesti) before he started his life like pirate?

What if he is from Greta's family?

What if she learned how to fight thanks to him & his experiences at battle?

Now, talking about Greta only, she said her ancestry was Carthage (major cultural city) & this mean some of her family is from North Africa/Mediterranean.

So, if Grant and Greta could be family, added to the fact that he would be related to the pirate lifestyle & that part of Greta's family could be African…

Do you know what other character they showed us is from the northern Africa, being a pirate too?

Yeah, the same Captain who Warren Ellis stated had no connection to Grant Danasty. But what if the Captain IS related to Greta's family from Africa? This could have been a way to explore some secondary characters, expanding theirs' & Greta's backstory through the narrative

This could have been an alternative way to tell us Grant Danasty was there, in the same story, in the same world. Giving us some hints off-screen about his LEGACY, like they told us about Leon Belmont

Even if Grant wasn't part of the story regarding Dracula's defeat…

They didn't tell us almost nothing about Greta's backstory, her family…

So, I like the headcanon of Greta of Danesti being Grant Danasty's daughter or niece

Grant Danasty being the Captain's son, nephew, or even son-in-law (if Grant married one hypothetical Captain's daughter)

And the Captain being Greta's Grandfather~

Because just as the Captain gave his support to Isaac without judging him, saving him from his hatred and giving Isaac the push he needed to decide the course of his life…

Greta gave her support to Alucard without judging him, saving him from his loneliness and giving Alucard more than one reason to live uwu

GRETA/ALUCARD MONTH (2025) 11/14

DAY 14: Scars.

Imagine if Greta and Alucard, due to their similarities and harsh experiences as bisexual individuals, could also have some scars in common… but Adrian's wife only shows her own scars to someone else when she feels comfortable enough and trust the other person. Greta's husband thinks those scars make her look even more beautiful and powerful.

...

Day 13: Here! Day 15: LATER!

...

PS: Greta said it in a joke tone, but… who knows if the woman that tried to kill her was succesful in leaving one of those scars on her body back then. Another option is that Greta got those scars because of the monsters and night creatures released by Alucard's father.
