I've been doing a lot of reading lately about the history of vampires in fiction and how the vampire as we know it today first entered literature, and the subject is honestly fascinating. The traditional folklore around vampires and vampire-like creatures is largely very different from what we'd think of as a vampire today, and it's also very different from how vampires appeared in even their earliest literary incarnations.
For one thing, there's nothing particularly alluring about most traditional vampires. They're bloated corpses that have crawled out of their graves, not dashing mysterious counts in lonely castles. They're not a particularly stylish or sexy monster.
However, from pretty much the moment that western literature first turned to the vampire myth for inspiration, writers saw something in the concept to sexualize. The poem "Der Vampir" (The Vampire) by Heinrich August Ossenfelder is often cited as the first ever true literary depiction of a vampire (published 1748!), and it is about a man corrupting a chaste and religious woman through his unwanted kiss/vampiric bite. John William Polidori's 1819 short story "The Vampyre" is widely seen as the first work to truly codify vampire fiction, and the titular Vampyre Ruthven is in large part inspired by the womanizing Lord Byron. Le Fanu's Carmilla depicts an intense attraction between Carmilla and her victim Laura. Stoker's Count Dracula is a man with overly flushed lips and hair on his palms, marks of Victorian fears of sexuality.
From the very start, vampires in literature have been a sexual monster. They're emblems of the seductive and terrible—the kiss of death that you can't help but be drawn to anyway. A violent forced intimacy that will corrupt you and drain away your very life force. There's a great deal of xenophobia and fear of the un-christian in early vampire fiction as well, but the fear of sex and sexual assault have always been a driver of literary vampires' horror and allure. Writers seem eternally split between desire for the vampire and revulsion at that very lust, even from the moments that the creatures first graced the page.
There's a great tradition of vampiric fiction both using vampirism to evoke sexual predators and making vampires themselves desirably sexy. Thus, given that it is very concerned with sexual assault and bodily autonomy as themes, often uses predation by a vampire to evoke sexual violence, and is deeply horny about vampires and blood drinking, Jun Mochizuki's The Case Study of Vanitas is actually one of if not the best modern successor to the canon of early vampire literature. In this essay, I will

“His magnificent, moderate frog” I am deceased
Caught up with the anime so I started reading the manga. I am dead. I no longer exist. Maomao is an absolute riot. Denial Queen.
It absolutely must be a frog. It absolutely just couldn’t be anything else. What’s in those robes??? A frog.
Ribbit.

silly little trivia that im sure anyone who's ever dissected a frog in school knows but damn, it makes sense to go with frogs as the monster for this particular segment since frog skin is completely detached from the flesh except for parts around the feet- as in, you can just slice it open and peel it off without any extra cutting

🎨 COLOR WHEEL 🎨
This took me a PRETTY long time and also a lot of IRL delays, hence why I'm posting on such a weird day (Monday). But I'm SUPER happy with the end result and that I finally got to draw so many of my favs that I never had before (these were all chosen by me hehe).
❤️ Fairy Godmother (Shrek) 🧡 Radley Heeler (Bluey) 💛 Chloé Bourgeois/Queen Bee (Miraculous Ladybug) 💚 Prince Naveen of Maldonia (The Princess and the Frog) 🩵 James P. "Sulley" Sullivan (Monsters. Inc), with a bonus Mike Wazowski, bc I could not pass on doing the gag xD 💙 Barley Lightfoot (Onward) 💜 Tecna (Winx Club) 🩷 Spinel (Steven Universe)
I also have individual slides of each one of these characters, but this post would be RIDICULOUSLY long if I posted them here. Maybe I will eventually, but in the meantime, you can check them out on my Insta or Twitter (or I guess the latter is "X" now. *SIGH* Just why? 😓)

Deliberately chose the binary yes/no, but with the caveat that you can be as pedantic as you like because it's about how you FEEL. Are they from Doma but actually that nice farm you can see across the water in Yanxia and so you've never set foot there but you sort of feel at home in the zone? You can click yes. You made them from Dalmascus and an alliance raid runs right past their old front door, but it doesn't feel like a legit place to hang out in game and you're sad they didn't give us a full zone out there? Click no!
I've wondered about this since I started playing because the character creator gives you vague geographic details before you even start and maybe know nothing about the world, and then takes you up to the starter city like you're from somewhere else, and sometimes if you roll a character without knowing the story you end up accidentally Magnai's long-suffering sibling because of your choices and the naming conventions in the randomiser. How much drastic change has that caused or are you sticking with early OC characterisation plans?
