oh we doing this again! yay :)

💀

what I should be writing: any of my wips, any of the fic requests.

what I’m writing instead: another abolish veylocke character study

Whatever Abolish is doing, Morcant cannot see it. That is, in a way, a good thing.

[foxinahole]

just remembered that heart/home (booklocke au) still exists and working on the next chapter :) desperately trying to move towards a resolution these guys just don't want to acknowledge they care about each other or something smh

Bat vocalizations were hard for Abolish to hear, hovering around the limit of his audible range. This one he caught, and despite laughter’s inability to be genuine after too long a time needed to notice it wanted out, he still managed to let himself smile.

An Intervention

In which Cleo confronts the Doc about his meetings with Owen.

Inspired in part by an old @redstonebug comic that I never was able to fully get out of my head.

New Compromised chapter!

Beware, this chapter made me very angry as I was writing it, so go in prepared to be upset at the characters and their terrible choices LOL

more world building thoughts getting thrown blindly at a document rn lol

Goldsmiths do not do well as solitary vampires and usually turn very murderous without regular coven bonding and the regulation it provides. The bonding does not always have to be as physical as Scott makes it, he's just Like That.

[vampostingtime]

Abolish would never say he’s resentful. That would imply a level of emotional investment that is simply not worth the effort. 

(abolish is funnyyyyyyyyyyy)

Totally not stealing the idea that only certain vampiric bloodlines have bestial traits like actual wings :p

❤️

More than welcome to steal, I can't even take credit for it tbh

Both @badalloc and @audioeidolon have done super fun things with vampire bloodlines in their works, and I blatantly have stolen from them both multiple times (with their love and permission). Honestly, stink bug au is as much a love letter to Audio's work as it is a love letter to whatever the hell crossfangs has going on lol

I adore how much the vsmp fandom builds on each others works, it's such a collaborative space <3

[audioeidolon]

HEHEHEHE I love seeing people do things with VSMP worldbuilding... I love Scott seeing another vampire and going "EW. Whose thingis this??"

[areafae]

Scott, poking Owen's back: do the thing

Owen: *extremely loud sigh* *lets out wings*

Scott: omg wtf???!! SHELBY you GOTTA come see this!!

spooky present for you!

If Abolish needed to call the doc’s current disposition anything in comparison to how he was at the start of the Oakhurst mission, he’d call it more vulnerable. But Abolish isn’t paid to psychoanalyze, and that’s more than fine by him.

(wahhh! preddy scary!!)

[areafae]

not working on prose right now, but doing some stream of consciousness world building thoughts:

A lot of vampiric instincts are stabilised by living in a coven. Group feeding and bonding helps manage hunger and aggression.

I've mentioned on here before that I don't think Owen conceives of himself as a person and instead considers himself a punishment. This obviously has very strong textual support by the end of the series, given he says he's Louis' teeth and claws.

(The I think is therefore more about how I think it applies from the very start of the series, rather than coming to the conclusion later)

But it occurred to me today that Owen's pre-vampire existence is one he actually would have seen represented in stories, but specifically as a Test.

There is a very old trope of a powerful entity -- often a witch, angel, or god -- disguising themselves as a poor old woman, or a desperate beggar, and knocking on the door of the well-to-do.

If they show the beggar the kindness demanded of them by the rules of Hospitality, then they pass the test and are rewarded. If they fail they are punished, and often severely: their line is cursed, their house falls to ruin, people die.

And it's interesting, isn't it, that of all the people in Oakhurst, it's only Louis that accepted Owen into his home and fed him according to the rules of Hospitality. Everyone else refused him entry, refused him food, kept him far away. Of all the people in Oakhurst, only Louis passed the test. Everyone else failed it.

And so, when the poor, diseased lumberjack revealed himself to be/became something powerful--

Well.

For a story to write itself, it would have to be unwritten. The ending to that story has been passed down for thousands of years.

Rating: M | Status: WIP 5/? | Scott?/&Abolish (not platonic, not romantic, but a secret third thing)

Warnings: Canon-typical violence, morally ambiguous characters, mature themes

The Cure was a myth. It should have been a myth. Vampirism was eternal. To be embraced, to take the gift and become one with the night, it was irreversible. That was how it was supposed to be. There was always the night, so there would always be vampires.

technically didn't get 10 sentences out of this cause I reached the end of the chapter, so you get a whole paragraph

Owen kept his back turned to him, shoulders slumped and arms wrapped tight around his body. The lumberjack was such a curious tangle of contradictions. Scott's affections seemed just as effective of a punishment as his violence, for him. Under all the snapping and hissing rage, there was a deep and aching anguish, that became abundantly clear in the rare moments he let himself melt under Scott's ministrations. Scott was slowly piecing together the complicated weave of Owen's story.

*clacks teeth at you motivationally*

*clacks teeth back*

“Keep your hands off them,” he says, the calm of his words at very strong odds with the forcefulness as he herds Cleo out of reach.

[areafae]

"Good," he said. He then leaned all the way down and gave a soft kiss to the corner of Owen's mouth.

Scott's obsession with platonic kisses continues. He's truly out here living his best "kissing the homies" life. Good for him :)

[uncannyfig]

💀

*rattles at you*

*rattles back, except the mandible falls off*

"What?" It is his turn to be baffled by their words. "Cleo, why the hell would I do something that idiotic?" Cleo lets out a loud scoff at that, and while they still look frustrated, the tension they were holding eases as they let go of Legundo's form.

[areafae]

I see we're both writing duos being weird about each other :)

"Oh, Owen," Scott soothed with a chuckle, as he noted the way his brow was pinched with concern, "do you think I seek to replace you?" "What?" Owen hissed. Scott grinned down at him.

[areafae]

me, last night: it’s not a big deal I stayed up really late playing video games cause it’s my day off tomorrow so I can sleep in :)

the rooster at 5:30am: not if I have anything to say about it!

[fexalted]

one of the best parts of making up increasingly wild and specific aus with a friend is sending them posts like "this is sooo blorbo in torture chamber au number 15" and they reply back like "YESSS btw have i told you about my latest idea for how to torture them even more" and you get to enjoy a little snack and kick your feet with glee
