'My Beloved Nemesis'

1 getting called bitchless by his old college teacher in front of his crush (who rejected him)

2 sitting on his hat before confessing to said crush

3 playing with a bloodletting knife while confessing to appear cool. crush said the way he did that almost made her scream

4 referring to himself as 'your pet student' in front of his old college teacher and asking to become it once again

5 overestimating the strength needed to break down a door with a few others and falling headlong into the room

6 calling one of his patients his 'pet lunatic' (he uses a phonograph as a diary, which means he had to say that OUT LOUD)

7 when he used a ladder to cross a wall while a man 30 years older than him effortlessly climbed it

8 getting his ear pulled by his college teacher as if hes still a student

9 being absolutely BEWILDERED after one of his patients had a positive reaction to someone being nice to him

10:

thinking very hard about Mr. R.M. Renfield on this day (dracula daily folks who don't want spoilers, stop reading here!)

Character design of Jonathan Harker

I’m curious about whether the 30-year timeskip meaningfully changes how people evaluate this fictional pairing.

It *does not matter* whether Alucard and Integra are paired together pre or post time skip because no matter how you spin it, there's no way to excuse the fact that he met her when she was a child. I do not care if he only pursues her once she's 22, and I do not care if he only pursues her once she's 52 or 72 or 100. I also do not care if she has the power in the relationship.
