I hope you don't mind me asking for another alucard x gen neutral reader lol , where they've been studying day and night on learning how to speak Romanian and surprise him , ik the dialect will be different than his wallachian days but he should still understand right?🧐

Learning Romanian for Alucard

📍•Historical notes:

Romania became an official country in 1867 so should have come from Romania not Transylvania. Bram Stoker wasn't aware of such details. Though due note Vlad III Drǎculea would have been completely forgotten by this day and age if not for the book.

📍 •So Alucard has only been away from his native land since 1897 (some think 1893 as 1897 is the year the book is published. He would have spent 466 years (alive and undead) in his lands. I figure he still did raids, in his undead state, on the Ottoman Turks since they didn't pull out of Europe until after WWI.

I also apologize as I only know her/he in Romanian and not they..it might be ei? Ei is translated as they, them, it. Se is for they, you,themselves. I know a few words by memory but I also use the Reverso translator app as I am American that can speak simple French with a slight cross between Scottish and a German accent. (And it sounds terrible!)

😘•Shall we begin?

•At first he hears whispers of modern Romanian from the bathroom upstairs. Or softly before he manages to enter the kitchen for a really early morning smack.

You are up to something..

•One time you heard him cackle loudly in the basement. Damn it! He's caught on to your surprise. So you keep learning to speak Romanian where he is less likely to hear.

His cackle was on a mispronounced word..

•Though his knowledge of speaking Romanian started out the dialect of the Vlach people in Wallachia. Then as his time being undead reached centuries he would learn the growing modernized version of his language. Though he's a little outdated from the book and learning apps to speak modern Romanian due to not speaking it since 1897-ish.

One night he appears in Victorian clothes to you..

•With a low bow with his top hat in hand, he asks you to join him for a moonlit walk in the Hellsing rose garden.

"Nu este o noapte minunată draga mea/meu/se?" 🟰 [Is this not a lovely night my dear?]

You nod your head shyly. He does know about your surprise. With a deep intake of breath and a release you answer back,"Admir priveliștea.." 🟰 [I am admiring the view..]

"Oh, tu esti?" 🟰 [Oh are you?] He slyly rumbles out with a thick Romanian accent. There’s the rolling colors of red with orange and faint hints of yellow to his eyes. He's become aroused by those mere words in a version of his first language.

"Da, așa cum este priveliștea ta și numai tu prințul meu întunecat.." 🟰 [Yes as the view is of you and only you my dark prince..]

"Acum ai probleme cu dragostea mea/meu/se.." 🟰 [You are in trouble now my love.]

I also love strawberries and cream as well, now o know I need to drink more oranges and Lemon juice. But I also drink alots of pomegranate juice with my other drinks as well that is so amazing to know what is his favorite ❤️❤️❤️

Vlad's Favorite Fruit(s)

Michi. How's it going?

Did Alucard have a favorite fruit when he was still human? I heard somewhere he liked sweet potatoes and I'm still wondering when Wallachia was introduced to that crop.

📍FYI: Doing better. Down to a couple more visits to PT and no need for surgery currently😁

I have decided Artsy's question to me is a great one! So hopefully it's okay I just blog it like an ask on Tumblr. I am suggesting a few that could have been a favorite and you decide.

All of these only the wealthy could afford and Vlad, I should have imagined eating a lot of these fruits as a guest.  Wallachia was not a wealthy country compared to Hungary at the time.

📌Also note that Vlad died before Columbus 'discovered' America and such things as potatoes and cocoa. Hence in my Alucard stories, he doesn't understand the love of chocolate. He died before ever tasting it.

•Vlad would have had access to citrus fruit such as lemons and oranges through being a well treated political prisoner. He ate the same dishes of food as the young Mehmed would have.  Vlad would have eaten them for his health versus the commoner use of rosehips. We now know citrus has vitamin C which helps with colds and such for the immune system. 

"Oranges, lemons and citrons were traded at least from the 14th century onward. During the Middle Ages they were considered rare, exotic and healthy, if not curative, and were only available to the wealthiest."

(Note: Nostradamus brewed rosehip tea and gave it to plague victims to heal them. It is thought a reason he didn't get plague from his patients besides washing hands etc.)

•Pomegranates would be another as it is still considered an exotic fruit today for some. Some believe this is the fruit of the tree of knowledge and the Greeks associate it with Hades tricking Persephone.

•Plum desserts at Christmas time.

•Dates when other fruits are not available.

•Papanași with (Romanian cheese donuts) w/ warm fruit compote (Blueberries were only native to the Americas)

•Perhaps he tasted watermelon served by Sultan Mehmed as this fruit originated from Africa.

"From Egypt, the historical trail of watermelon must be gleaned from the likes of medical books, recipe collections, and religious codices. For example, Numbers 11:5 from the Bible references watermelon as one of the foods the Israelites longed for after leaving Egypt. Additionally, ancient manuscripts of Jewish Law record watermelon as one of the items to be tithed and set aside for distribution to priests and the poor."

🤔•But I think his favorite would most likely be fresh strawberries and sweet cream.

• Though the Viovode might have steered clear of consuming very much sugar.  Supposedly the people of Europe had good teeth until the 'sweet salt' from the Crusades in the 11th century, was eaten instead of honey.  He would have noticed the blackening teeth and going bad from those eating a large portion of sugar.

📍• I have left links with more in depth information for those that want to read more about.

"Fruit eaten fresh, dried or canned, accounted for an additional nutrition. Fruits were collected in the forests around the towns and villages along with the honey collected from hives. Sweet dessert fruit actually out of reach to the common people. South of Europe grew lemons, oranges, pomegranates, grapes and figs, in the north of Europe spread mainly apples, berries and pears. Other fruits eaten in Europe were plum, chestnut, peach, quince, almond, strawberry, cherry and walnut."

"Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and corn, which are key components of the European kitchens of these days, as do tea, coffee, cocoa and tobacco, which are an essential component in the recreational activities of the European, Starting from the 18th century, were not known at all in medieval Europe. Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, cocoa and tobacco were there just after the 16th century, after the discovery of the Americas, as well as tea and coffee imports to Europe from Asia began in the 16th century."
