Forest nymph (Doris) x Sea nymph (D) AU

Please don’t ask me why they’re half naked, almost everyone in Ancient Greek artworks are half naked or naked😭

Doris being one of the few people who doesn't fear, idealize or hate him for what he is and treats him as a person

D one of the few people who respects her capabilities and sees her beyond societal prejudices and misogyny

Both of them have seen each other at their worst and stayed (Doris feeling helpless after getting bitten and almost getting her autonomy fully stripped, D almost losing control due to bloodlust and succumbing to his nature)

I think they’re each other’s safe space because Doris doesn’t have to be strong all the time around him and show her more vulnerable and feminine side, and D doesn’t have to “look behind his back” in case she is scheming against/manipulating him and can be an ordinary man

professional relationship —> personal (I know he does almost every mission personal but that he's fond of the siblings)

they’re not naive and know the tragic reality of their relationship because of the circumstances they’re in

D showed Doris that she doesn’t have to carry the burden alone and learn to rely on someone, Doris showed D the (possibility of) ordinary life where he could be/feel included without judgment

opposites attract each other while trust, values and respect align

the possibility that they can push each other to become a better version of themselves (Doris teaches D to be less detached and feel more “openly” (not too internalized, more accepting towards his own emotions or down to earth ) and D teaching Doris to have a more steady composure towards her emotions (not letting her emotions rush her and take her time to process it while thinking what she is doing next))

they can live without the other and still have fond memories

Doris’s love for D is not a naive fleeting infatuation and is described or implied to be enduring and genuinely deep given the time skip (atp, I think D is her first and last love of her life because if Dr. Tsurugi, a green flag man, can’t make Doris move on from D then probably no one can)

I think they left a deep impression on each other ( D seeing Doris’s courage, resilience and humanity despite all the bad things and still not consumed by hatred or bitterness, Doris seeing D’s unshakable will, loyalty to the point of risking his own life for others (it depends) and kindness that doesn’t ask for anything in return)

I think they probably would understand the other how it feels like to be the object of desire or idealization because of their good looks instead of being treated like a person, and they would see each other beyond that

they would accept each other’s flaws that are a part of them and not what defines them

Doris isn’t selfish to follow D in his journey because she has Dan and the farm and is willing to let him go, D still wants her to live a happy life even if it’s without him (because he doesn’t want to condemn her with him)

the kiss scene already debunks all pretense of professional relationship and deal

they would definitely call each other out on their bullshit and get under each other’s skin

as far as I have seen, I feel like D has the closest chemistry with Doris than any other woman regarding romantic feelings

a lot of plot potentials (for me)

Orpheus x Eurydice AU

I wanted to draw D’s crying face more devastating or kind of monstrous like to show the depth of his grief but then I changed my mind because it would be overdramatic and vile to portray him like a beast that I ended up giving him a more human face.

When noble blood kicks in…

photographer x model AU

I was all comfortable and happy to draw Doris as a model because her beauty is still underrated until I had to draw D as a model where I started to feel nervous because I have to make him look handsome or otherwise people will come after me and I just couldn’t give him the fuckboy look (like seriously it would creep me out…).

Motorcycle AU

Drawing motorcycles is another level of torture with all the details and proportions🫠

I’m glad they look good together, otherwise I’d be embarrassed for messing it up…

Dancer AU

I just imagined when they would dance together in front of a mirror that D’s reflection wouldn’t be visible but since he’s a dhampir, the mirror would probably distort the image…

Arranged marriage AU (with little Greek elements and alien creatures)

I came across the fandom mostly because of pinterest spamming Yoshitaka Amado's works and manga panels on my fyp and an edit on tiktok. When reading the “main plot” during my research, I felt depressed about the isolation and loneliness of D's journey and was curious enough to try reading the novels (didn't have enough access that I ended up researching the plots mostly) and manga volumes. VHD bloodlust was hard for me to watch because I felt too depressed and sad because how lonely and hopeless and quietly beautiful it was. (What unsettled me was how tiny waists of the female cast and D are where I thought that they would break in halves for not eating enough despite the fitting character designs)

D x Doris NSFW‼️

What I think how the front side looks like out of curiosity ✨

This is about Mina explaining why she stayed despite the Sacred Ancestor’s questionable behaviors as she reasons that he’s at his limits in his mental state and that she wanted to talk to him about separating from him at first to keep herself and the kids safe and have a more stable environment but still including him in order to raise the kids equally. She ended up deciding not to go through with the decision because she thought he might fall apart if she left him alone to his own misery and wants to preserve whatever is left of him. He feels guilty about the c-section, Mina has to carry for the rest of her life and the pain she endured and wants to make up to her.

Doris x fem D

Doris with Mina the Fair’s dress. Tbh, I like the dress design with the accessories, the colors and the cut.

Doris’s alcohol tolerance: half a bottle
