Thinking about the fact that Ingrid has two younger half brothers, one maternal and one paternal, both of which were passed off as her full brother when they were babies (Barry/Wolfie for only a few days, Vlad for years), both of which are given a name at birth that they don't use/go by (Wolfie was called Vlad for awhile, then named Barry, then called "Wolfie", while Vlad was named Adam by his mum and renamed Vladimir by his father) and both of which she is very loud about disliking and are at various points rivals displacing her as the Dracula heir but when it comes down to it she cares about them greatly and is pretty protective. And both are half vampires, Wolfie being half vampire half werewolf while Vlad is half human.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this it's just intresting. Like when they were writing the show I don't think they had the ending planned at all, or the Vlad is half human twist, so you can't really call all the things he has in common with Wolfie delibrate forshadowing but in hindsight it's really intresting. Especally the counts willingness to surplant Vlad with the new baby because at the time he beleived that his beloved Magda had finally given him a son, as apose to Adam/Vlad who wasn't Magda's and only half vampire making him actually quite a dangerous bet as an heir. And Ingrid imerging as the true Dracula heir in a lot of ways despite being a girl actually makes a lot of sense because she is actually the count and Magda's only biological child (while not legitimate since they weren't married, they are basically common law married and act as if they are a devorced couple so Ingrid is as legitimate as the count is gonna get) and also out of the three Dracula children (counting Wolfie in this group as he was claimed as a Dracula at birth and then the count technically raised him for a bit) she is the only full vampire non-hybrid.
Also the fact that Vlad and Ingrid's sibling dynamic is super important to the show and that they both end up with younger maternal half siblings that they do care about a lot but the primary sibling relationship seems to remain Vlad and Ingrid because of their expirences growing up together... it just feels important. Like they both having younger half siblings is something they have in common despite it being completely different siblings. (makes me kinda sad we never got a scene of George and Wolfie interacting and maybe teaming up to help Ingrid and Vlad somehow).
#Young Dracula#young dracula cbbc#The final season twist just makes a rewatch super intresting okay#Also makes me sad we never got grand high vampire Vlad having to content with Atilla Westenra because he was on the council#And his reaction to Vlad not actually being his biological grandson and the fact that Magda lied to them all would have been super intresti#But also like I wish we'd got Ingrid and Wolfie interacting with their Westenra grandparents together#Also the fact that Magda went along with passing Vlad off as her own to take the pressure off her having to have a son#Like if Ingrid had been born a boy then Madga wouldn't have let the count adopt Vlad#It honestly makes Magda trying to pass Wolfie off as the counts son way shadier cause she was surplanting Vlad with a trump card#He didn't know anything about#Cause he didn't know he was only half vampire and not actually Magda's#And she knew the Count would go for it#Really shady thing to do to a boy she claimed as her own son and raised for at least 10 years#Hella vampric thing to do those I'll give her that#I do wonder what would have happened had vlad not been adpted by the count though like what if he was just raised human ignorant of vampire#what happens when he turns 16?#Now that's a fanfiction idea right there
