Vampire Academy commission I did for Beacon Book Box! ❤ I love painting roses xD This is Rose and Dimitri. Loved working on this illustration, which became an awesome and comfy blanket ✨
I will be posting the sketches and the final product on my Instagram, if you wanna check it out!
Reading Midnight Sun has only solidified my stance that Richelle Mead needs to release the books from Dimitiri’s point of view. First of all, Dimitri is such a strong person, seeing things through his perspective would be so interesting. Second, my heart would burst to hear him gushing about Rose.
Enjoy! All six books from Dimitris point of view are completed.
All of these people are watching the Bachelorette like “Oh my god I’ve never rooted for two people to be together so bad ugh” and I’m just here like…have you never read a YA novel?
But most importantly, have you never read the Vampire Academy series???????
Enjoy the saga we all know and love, as told by our favorite Russian guardian. Story by Gigi256. Cover art by @vafanartbytimi
Vampire Academy: Dimitri’s Point of View Dimitri’s training prepared him to be a Guardian. Known for his skill in the field, fate leads him to an unexpected position. He becomes the personal guard for a young Princess, and the mentor for her best friend: a strong-willed wild girl. When the rules that he has held strong to for so long are challenged, will he be able to choose between duty & destiny?
Frostbite: Dimitri’s Point of View Two paths lie ahead. One seems to offer everything Dimitri could ever hope for. The other promises pain and the one thing he truly wants: the one person he can never have. Is a comfortable life worth the absence of love, or is that love worth the inevitable heartbreak? Will that choice be made for him before he has the chance to decide?
Shadow Kiss: Dimitri’s Point of View Dimitri’s life was never meant to be his own. It had always been promised to the protection of the Moroi. He lived his life for them, but for the first time ever, he feels the desire to share his life with another. Resenting the cards he’s been given and slowly watching his Roza lose herself to the impending darkness, has he already lost what matters most?
Blood Promise: Dimitri’s Point of View Dimitri never feared death, but now he relishes it. He’s never felt so alive. He’s finally awakened to the reality of what immortality has to offer and lives for the night. There is only one person missing…
Spirit Bound: Dimitri’s Point of View How do you define yourself? Power. Success. Blood. Death. Obsession. Pain. Loss. Failure. Monster. Darkness. Bitter darkness. However, darkness cannot reside where light exists. Light is beauty. Light is rebirth. Light can restore hope, but only if you let the light in.
Last Sacrifice: Dimitri’s Point of View Safety. Comfort. Duty. What would you sacrifice if it meant saving someone’s life? Could you sacrifice everything, including your own pride, to make sure that she’d be safe? And does that last sacrifice mean anything at all…if it comes too late?
Full series can also be found on Archive of our Own and will soon be available on Wattpad. Enjoy!

petition to make dimitri 19 years old in the show pls. the age gap is already problematic and ppl who haven’t read the books before will hate it and the show will be criticised for it and young teenage girls watching the show won’t question the attention they get from older guys. also dimitri being 19 and an absolute POWERHOUSE will make him even more cool and impressive
As someone who wrote the entire series (as a fanfic) from Dimitri’s Point of View, I totally support this. I’d might be okay making him 20 at most, but normalizing relationship with large age gaps for teenage girls is dangerous, especially when one person is in a position of power over the other. Yes, Dimitri isnt technically Rose’s teacher, but as a mentor, he does hold some responsibility for her education. Because of that, their relationship needs to be handled with care.
Here are some of my thoughts on making Dimitri more age appropriate for their relationship but still keep him the total badass that we know and love by the time we meet him.
Dimitri graduates top of his class, having already gained the attention of Court during his schooling. We already have canon showing him getting additional mentoring and touring Court during his last couple of years of school. Perhaps the series introduces the idea of him taking trials to become part of the Queen’s Guard. He gets an official invitation at graduation, and he turns it down to become become his best friend’s personal guardian instead.
He is a completely dedicated guardian. It’s Ivan, after all. He can’t let his best friend down. But then the unthinkable happens.
Guardian Hans Croft, who has been watching Dimitri’s career with great interest since he offered him a position at Court, refuses to let Dimitri succumb to mental anguish and immediately informs him of an issue they are having with the missing Dragomir Princess. He asks him to lead one of several task forces trying to locate her and her friend.
His team is the one that find her, and they do so quite quickly and quite impressively. Because of that, he is encouraged to continue as her guardian at St. Vlads and thus begins our journey.
Hey everyone One of my New Years goals for 2021 is to write a little each day and I’d love to have your help with that.
If you’d like to submit a one-shot idea, I’ll do my best to turn it into a little story. It will most likely be 500-2500 words, but there is a small chance that it becomes something more. My plan is to post 2-3 stories a week. I’ll give a small thank you and tag whomever submitted the idea. Feel free to submit on this post or via a PM. Thank you!
After sleeping on the casting decision and giving it some time I have come to the conclusion that I am still going to give the show a chance.
Am I still disappointed in the casting choices? Absolutely.
Do I have concerns about the character descriptions brought forth? Yes I do.
It has absolutely nothing to do with racism and everything to do with the fact that they have strayed so far from the character descriptions from the novels.
I am hopeful that Dimitri will still have a Russian background. Actors can learn accents, and here’s hoping that they have Kieron do just that.
I am assuming that Rose will no longer be portrayed as Turkish, which is upsetting but I can adjust.
I also understand that they will have to adjust certain aspects of the plot in order to make it more suitable for television, however I hope that they stay true to the main plot line and character development in the series.
Okay so I thought I could be unbiased about the casting decisions but I just saw a post about who is rumored to be playing Dimitri and let me just say…
IF ITS NOT THIS MAN THEN I’M GOING TO BE DISAPPOINTED
