INCOHERENT SCREAMING

They're so friggin pretty *cries*

Is there cuteness aggression but for pretty stuff? cause I wanna nom on em so bad...

[lorefulgood]

anyway. scott’s response from today (07/august/26)’s stream:

“I’d been seeing a lot of people talk about like pantheon designs, and while I seen a large majority of people really loved my pantheon design, which I appreciate, I then also had a couple people like message me on like platforms and basically mention that a lot of my character designs read more… asian elements, and from different countries, and on the line of like orientalism, rather than greek. which I hadn’t realised, because I don’t—like, I hadn’t done so much research, I was going a lot more down the route of like, ‘inspired by’ the god rather than trying to be like historically accurate, because that’s not what my pov is going to be. it’s very much like, not trying to be a way to teach you greek mythology, like we’re not playing the gods for that reason.

“but a lot of people had brought up very valid points, which I have seen, and I am going to get my design altered. I’m going to change out the harem pants to be more of like a toga, and removing some of like, simplifying the cloud patterns because while I—and me and my artist that had worked on it together, referenced the… like when you search like ‘greek cloud pattern,’ but there’s a lot of then crossover, which, upon further research after being made aware, that it leads into a lot of like japanese-style cloud patterns. which I do see, ’cause like I’ve been to japan, I remember the patterns, I just hadn’t realised that it read more that than the original [intention]. so we’re tweaking it, we’re changing it… because it will still be cute. it will still be flirty. I will still be having fun with it. the character itself is not changed, like I’m not gonna get rid of the hair, I’m not gonna suddenly be shirtless, it will just be like a toga length rather than like the skin-tight kind of turtleneck thing.

“honestly part of it came down to like, we didn’t get to see everyone else’s announcement arts until it was public. like, I didn’t know what—and other than like a couple people who we’d shared them in pr—like to each other kinda thing. we didn’t get to see what other people’s arts were. so I hadn’t realised a lot of people were going down more of the like... what’s the word. trying to be like authentically greek in their designs.

“my resea—as you may all be aware, I have had quite a year so far. especially for the few months in the lead-up to pantheon smp. due to certain people. and situations. so, my research for pantheon was very limited; I picked aeolus as my god because I did a bunch of research and I liked the designs of them and the idea of being a lesser-known god because I felt like it allowed me a bit more flexibility in my portrayal. again, not of the god, but of a champion of this god. because even in some stories and things he’s not even considered a god. but either way I wanted to have something that was a bit more [wavy hand gestures] rather than people having set mindsets on it. so I was like ‘I’m gonna pick a god slightly lesser-known, that allows me more freedom.’ and when you search aeolus, a lot of the designs are based off of the design from epic the musical, which I hadn’t seen. I hadn’t watched—I still haven’t watched it. I’ve now listened to the aeolus song a bit more, but other than that, I haven’t seen it. so I also hadn’t realised that its design was not accurate, or a good indication of greek culture, and [was] appropriating asian cultures.

“so. all that to say, I am sorry for my original design, if it offended you; that was never my intention, obviously. it was just down to… lack of knowledge, my own ignorance. I appreciate people that sort of came to me with it, in a polite manner, and brought it to my attention, ’cause it wasn’t something I ever obviously would try and do.

“there’s still some fantasy elements that are going to remain. like I’m not going to change the design fully, like it’s just going to be kind of like a... greekified version, if that makes sense, like I’m just going to tweak the design. and also, episode one’s already filmed, so that skin exists. I can’t stop that. so... we’re going to do some tweaking, we’re going to... I said, I just thought everyone was going more down the like fantasy, ‘ah yes we’re kind of...’ like, god-inspired, and then I got there and it was like no, everyone else is just in a toga. and I’m like, ‘ah.’ so I drape clouds over my arms, like... [grimaces] y’know? sorry. my bad.

“also I’d seen some people trying to figure out like what that thing was, like… it was meant to just be a shawl but then this swirly see-through bit is just cloud. it was meant to be clouds draping from him. like that’s kinda the design. and that element will still be there. but yeah, the design will change. apologies if anyone was offended; was very much not my intention. and also, the flirtiness and all that will still stay. that had nothing to do with the design; that was just a character choice. if you were equating the design and—I’d seen some people trying to say it was really weird because I was saying I was gonna be playing really flirty and then also my character was super orientalist and all that. like, I said, it was a very… those are dots I was not connecting. so either way, I have seen your posts, I apologise, things will be amended—in a couple days; it just takes time. obviously moon is going to make me an updated art, but moonkachu also has a life and things that they need to do. so… yeah. 👍”

Deleted accounts can now be recovered up to 30 days later

We’re making a big change to how account deletion works on Tumblr, and we’re really excited about it, because this is something that some of you have been requesting for… well… a literal decade.

Before today, when you deleted your Tumblr account, it was immediate and permanent. Occasionally, this resulted in Very Sad Times. Even though we’ve tried to make it super difficult to accidentally delete your account, this is something that still happens a lot. Like, a lot. There’s also plenty of folks who delete their account on purpose, but then regret it shortly afterward. Worst of all, if your account was hacked, and then deleted by the hacker, there was no way to get it back. 

All of these problems are *poof* no more. As of today, when you delete your account, we will keep your data for 30 days. Your account will remain recoverable during that time, and you can contact us within that 30 day window if you’d like us to restore your account.

Eventually, we hope to make this process a bit easier, and allow you to restore your account with a single click of a button. For right now, though, you’ll need to contact us via tumblr.com/support and choose the category “Account Access” > “I have deleted my account or blog by accident”. 

FAQs

How do I delete my account? Does that process look different now?

You can follow the steps here to delete your account on the web or through the mobile app, which works pretty much the same way as before. You’ll notice we’ve updated the confirmation screen to reflect the new process, though.

Does a deleted account still appear on Tumblr during this 30 day window?

Nope. As soon as you submit the request to delete your account, all of your blogs will no longer be accessible (they’ll 404), no one will be able to message you, your posts will no longer appear in search results, and you won’t be able to log in anymore. This happens right away, not 30 days later. Deleted accounts still behave exactly as they always have.

What about my email address and username? Will those become available again immediately after account deletion, like they did before?

Notably, no, they will not. In order to make it possible for the account to be restored during the 30 day window, the username and email address must remain associated with the account during that time. So they won’t be available to register again until 30 days after you’ve deleted your account.

If you’re deleting your account, and you already know that you’d like to use the same username or email address on a new account immediately afterward, we recommend that you change your username and email address before deleting the account. That way, they will become available right away, instead of being on hold for 30 days. 

What if I’ve accidentally deleted one of my sideblogs, but not my entire account?

If you delete a sideblog, it will be deleted right away, and cannot be restored. We can only restore an entire account (which will restore all of its blogs along with it). 

Is this feature retroactive? Can you restore the account I deleted two years ago?

As much as we would like this to be possible, the answer is no. We still haven’t perfected the art of time travel, so all accounts deleted before today are still deleted for good. This new change will only apply to accounts which are deleted after this announcement is posted.

Where can I learn more about the account deletion process?

You can check out our support documentation and Privacy Policy. Both have been updated to reflect these changes.

[staff]

In case you’re looking for a blog that’s gone missing on Tumblr and didn’t see this recent update.

A missing blog without “-deactivated” isn’t necessarily a sign of a suspension, it might just mean that someone deleted their own account and may still bring it back within 30 days.

Scott Goldsmith’s relationship with murder

a very stupid metaphor, by me.

Scott starts the series buying regular milk. Shelby is lactose intolerant, but that’s fine, because she doesn’t have to drink anything.

Then Owen decides he wants organic fair trade super chocolatey murder milk with extra chunks. Scott starts buying the fancy milk because Owen is his friend.

Then Owen and Pyro kill someone, because it turns out that regular milk is poisonous and fancy milk is extra poisonous.

Shelby and Drift are both lactose intolerant, so Scott is switching to oat milk anyway, but the poison thing is fairly serious and he knows he can be stupid sometimes, so he asks Abolish to change the price of regular milk to two billion dollars so he’s not tempted to buy any. Abolish is like “i’m pretty sure I can just yell at you for trying to eat poison but okay.”

And then Scott leaves Oakhurst and drinks oat milk for the rest of his life, and it turns out that drinking oat milk is actually fairly easy and not even that big of a deal if you have friends to remind you that regular milk is a bad idea.

Scott Goldsmith’s Native Environment is a Horrible Murder Box

this has consequences

Vampires smp was originally billed as an amongus alike with light roleplay elements, so Scott Smajor basically just took a pile of life series conventions and built a character around it.

The life series, for the uninitiated, is a competitive minecraft youtube series where everyone has a limited number of lives (times they can die), and the goal is to be the last one standing. The mechanics gradually allow more murder to happen over time, so everything starts with people making nice with each other and ends with an absolute bloodbath. The tone is kept light by the mutual acknowledgment that everyone is a youtuber playing minecraft, but there has been plenty of discussion about how much actually living in that kind of world would suck. 

And then we have Scott Goldsmith

Scott Goldsmith, who wasn’t intended to be much of a character in the first place, winds up playing the life series conventions to the hilt as genuine character traits and social standards. For the most part, this worked out incredibly well! Scott Goldsmith is an interesting character that works well with the rest of the cast and is fun to watch, which is basically everything you can ask for in an improv series. There are, however, some artifacts from this that have some big impacts on how Scott works. 

Most notably, Scott Goldsmith works from the baseline assumption that he will have to crawl over the bodies of other people to survive, and that that’s just normal. It’s not even anyone’s fault. Everyone lives in a horrible murder box and the only way to succeed is to make sure that it’s you on top.

(this doesn’t stick out too badly because noble power games are frequently just a slightly more free range murder box, so Goldsmith being murderbox georg does not particularly contradict his lore or backstory)

The other major consequence of murder boxes being Scott Goldsmith’s main thing is that Scott actually follows a fairly rigid set of rules and assumptions when dealing with other people. His own personal vampire code, if you will. 

The code of Scott Goldsmith is as follows: 

1: The in group deserves everything and the outgroup deserves nothing. Everything the in group does is good and justified, everything the outgroup does is not. 

This is the bedrock of the gaslight, gatekeep, goldsmith social interaction special, and the governing principal behind what Scott is willing to justify and when. Basically, if he or someone he likes did it, then he will defend it and deny even the concept that it might have been wrongdoing. People that are not members of his coven generally have their actions weighed by how dangerous or inconvenient they are to himself or His People. 

The most obvious example of this is the interactions with v!Avid in episode 6 and 7. In episode 6, he complains about Avid burning down Shelby’s house, but in episode 7 he defends it by claiming that “it was ugly”. The same instance of the same action performed by the same person goes from something worth complaining about to something worth defending based entirely on where they stand in Scott’s regard.

Note also that this rule has no interest in fairness or reality. If Shelby says “the sky is green and the moon is made of cheese”, and Martyn says “no it's not”, then Scott will back up Shelby because Shelby is coven and Martyn is not. If Shelby kills Martyn, Scott will immediately decide that Martyn had it coming. If Shelby kills Martyn, burns down the town, and declares her desire to destroy the world and rule over the ashes with an iron fist, Scott will fully support her in that endeavor.

2: A lone vampire is a dead vampire. Your power is directly proportional to the number of people that answer to you

On one level, this is just mechanically true for vampires smp. Every person turned is another set of hands that can corrupt the beacons, and, just as importantly, one more person taken away from the effort to consecrate them. Even if that person never switches sides, the fact that they can’t consecrate any more or use the various human powers makes it a worthwhile effort, which is why there was a general OOC limit to turning only one human per episode. (and they had to take a break from turning people if they accidentally turned too many)

a more character driven level, Scott is very much a social threat, and acts the part. Turning people lets him acquire minions, who are easier to manage than outsiders, and generally aren’t going to cause him problems.

Vampirism is generally more then enough to force someone into his faction, because once someone is turned the humans will do the bulk of the work in driving the new vampire away from them and into Scott’s waiting arms. It’s a phenomena Scott is very confident about and takes shameless advantage of.

This is also why in episodes where Scott doesn’t turn anyone (due to the OOC limits), it’s styled as him stopping because the new vampires aren’t joining up- growing his power base is the main benefit of turning new vampires, and when that peters out he becomes more hesitant to do so.

3. Your actions should always advance your agenda

In other words, Scott mixes business and pleasure in the sense that his hobbies always contain some practical value. 

This is, honestly, the one Scott haters get wrong the most. While there’s nothing wrong with having a villain in your story, Scott isn’t the sort of person to torture someone in his basement for the sake of it when he could be torturing someone in his basement for information, or to break them down into something more psychologically dependent on him. 

Even if recreation is his main goal, he should ideally have a secondary goal as a matter of both practicality and preference- it’s just more fun for him if he’s being paid to be evil. (or buy some ice cream. Or pet a dog. Or help someone out)

4. Betrayal is a crime of the highest order. Loyalty is a virtue of the highest order. 

What, exactly, Scott considers betrayal varies over the course of the series, but this is generally the governing principal behind the various times he menaced Pyro, why he didn’t see v!Avid’s murder coming, and why he was both so pleased with v!Avid and so angered by his death. 

Scott Goldsmith values loyalty, and to a degree both expects it as his due and considers it an obligation to give loyalty in turn. This isn’t surprising- most Scott Smajor characters run along lines of loyalty and devotion. Scott Goldsmith is not an exception just because he is also a Dracula. 

5. Support your allies however you can

Scott is, in fact, an incredibly dedicated ally. He does things like give Pyro food while having low hunger himself as early as episode 2, and the tendency to act like that only goes up over time.

This makes a certain amount of sense- helping other members of your faction also helps you because you’re all working together for a single goal. In Scott’s case this is especially true, since as the leader he’s deciding a disproportionate amount of the group’s goals. A well fed minion is a productive minion. A productive minion is a lot more likely to succeed at your goals. 

This one is the part that can be the hardest to reconcile with Scott’s everything else. However, it’s important to remember that Scott is not immune to the desire for companionship, and also that he actually needs to keep people on side in order to not die. In some ways, this is very much an extension of rule 2.

6. (new) be a good friend

Over the course of the series, Scott gradually gets attached to the other vampires, and comes to see them as companions with needs he should consider outside of their mutual victory. He realizes that he likes the people around him, and he wants them to be happy. That he cares about them as people, and not just as tools.

The process of this takes the entire series, but by the end of it his friends are a big enough priority that he points out opportunities to escape to his own detriment.

In conclusion:

1. Scott’s core character concept is “guy that is trying to get a good grade in Minecraft Hunger Games, something that is normal to want and possible to achieve”

2. Scott Goldsmith does not so much have a moral compass as he has a set of rules designed to keep him alive. The bad parts of this are obvious, but there are good parts, too: when it mattered most, Scott was able to change and grow to suit the people around him. Owen and Ren, by contrast, violently self destructed and that hurt the people around them because they were too rigid in their personal convictions.

3. The support he offers to other people in the coven is real and sincerely meant. The expectation that those coven members will aid and abet his own misdeeds is also very real. Scott himself doesn’t recognize the difference until the end of the series, where he asks Abolish to stop him from doing bad things. 

4. The finale of vampires smp from Scott’s pov very much pivots around v!Avid’s death. It turns out that the rules that Scott shaped himself around weren’t as ironclad as he thought, because the people around him would literally rather die than put up with them. The mechanics that demand violence and bloodshed can be subverted in a way that causes unnecessary death and suffering.

And, to be clear, Owen and Pyro are dead to him as soon as they do this. In part because he’s planning on killing them himself, yes, but also because their actions are tactical suicide.

When he next talks to Pyro in what is basically his eulogy, Scott thanks him for the reminder that he should expect death and misery, because as far as he’s concerned death and misery are the normal course of events. Scott was winning so much he forgot that murder boxes suck, actually.

This is increasingly a problem because, by the laws of murderboxes, Shelby and Drift are almost certainly going to die- they both struggle with pvp, don’t have the aggression to cover for it, and with Pyro and Owen lost they don’t have enough front liners to cover their weaknesses. If things continue the way they’re “supposed” to, more people that Scott cares about are going to die.

So, Scott starts looking for another way out. After all, if the rules can be broken in ways that are bad, maybe they can be broken in ways that are good. Maybe they don’t have to kill everyone. Maybe murderboxes are bullshit, and all of this was entirely unnecessary.

So he starts looking, and, surprisingly enough, there is a path out. It’s not easy or bloodless, but it is a strict improvement over the status quo. It’s an option that keeps his friends alive.

Of course, just leaving this murderbox isn’t enough. Scott still has to deconstruct the murderbox in his own head, because otherwise his actions will simply create another murderbox around him.

That’s a bad outcome, so he enlists Abolish to kill him if he starts causing problems. Scott’s not great with morals, but he’s excellent with rules and practical consequences. So long as backsliding into the worst of his old behavior is guaranteed to go badly for him, he can be fairly sure that he won’t do that.

Actually figuring out how to be a functional person outside of the torment nexus is basically an entire novella’s worth of character development that the series doesn’t have time for, so instead it settles on “they figured it out eventually”.
