Hi! Just want to do a small intro to my blog since I’m trying to be more active in a fandom rather then only lurk.

You can call me Dream but honestly since I’m interacting with a minecraft space I think Nyx or Crimson would be more fitting??? Idk open to suggestions

I will be mainly using this blog for minecraft stuff mainly the life series / hermitcraft or Vampire SMP (my current fixation) and soon Pantheon SMP

Im also in a bunch of other fandoms but they arnt MCYT related so I wont put it in my pinned post

I do have potential interests in writing fanfics around vsmp but I tend to lose interest & motivation quickly so I wont make any promises I can’t keep

I want to add that I’m actually very new to tumblr as an active user that isn’t just seeing tumblr posts on YouTube shorts so I may not understand / may fuck up how tumblr works

(Example being how people on tumblr barely use comments on posts, it’s smt I’m not used to but I’ll get the hang of it hopefully)

Shout-out to characters who don't plan to survive their stories! Heroes who think they can only atone for their failures through sacrifice, villains who don't think they deserve to live in the world they're trying to create. Gimme that passive suicidality baby, mm-mm, delicious.

Oh my god this is so real for my RP…. He’s so cooked icl

[decendintodream]

Which Arknights EPs fit each vsmp vampires (in my humble opinion)?

DISCLAIMER: MY OPINION IF YOU DISAGREE FEEL FREE TO MENTION IT

Note: i used only the songs with english lyrics becuase while they do have other songs they either are lyricless or in another language (chinese russian etc)

Scott: Renegade- manipulation and enjoying it, yeah thats scott goldsmith

Honourable mention: Nightmare's Decent- lyrics somewhat fit but it didnt scream scott to me

Owen: Standchen - cant say im the happiest with this choice but i didnt watch much of owens POV so this was more so a vibesong

Shelby: Winged step - Vibes and voice imo fit shelby pretty well + its hopeful and whimsical

Cleo: Sealed - lyrics fit someone who wants to break away from their past + its slower calmer pacing fit cleo imo

Legundo: Settle Into Ash - Anti war messaging + breaking away from the cycle fit legs to a T i had to. (Plus the the self sacrificial notes)

Honourable Mention: From Ashes to Fire - For the greater good mentality

Pyro: Figure it out - Another person who i struggled to assign a song to, i think the lyrics fit but i have genuinely seen like nothing from Pyros POV so maybe i got him completely wrong idk

Apo: Bluish Light - I didnt watch much of apo either but i know she yearns for v!cherri so i thought this yearning ahh song fits

Drift: Heal the world - This was more so a personal vibe song since drift gave me the vibes of self sacrificial but also wanting to help others so this song felt fitting

Honourable Mention: Sentenced - Iirc drift is a detective so while i felt the lyrics could have fit it was too Court Judgey to work for what i imagied drift was like I actually have most of the humans too (i will be excluding Avid) except a song for martyn and sausage alude me i really have 0 clue what the heck to put for those 2

I’ve never watched leg’s POV so this is most likely not a fitting pick but so this song is pure vibes based on what I remember of legs

https://youtu.be/2sJfK7k63Rw?is=3dqMPGjDEEV-h-Yw

(I want to note this game is a live service game so I have 6 years of songs to go though HAHA)

No actually this is a pretty good pick for legs! there's a lot of talk of war being useless and wanting to break away from that cycle, especially the beginning of the rap section. "two path and both are reckless" and the mirror/wall part go really well for bloodletting too. the ending about picking a side to fight for less so, because legs chose to not fight at all, though you could see it as him choosing medicine and doing good as well

[decendintodream]

I initially didn’t plan to do all of the vsmp cast but fuck it why not :3

[foxinahole]

If u can’t answer it’s fine but this came to me while I was on the train listening to music

If any of the vsmp cast were a boss in a video game, what would the background track be?

Will be the first to admit I’m very biased towards a certain game since I’ve been playing it for like 5 years atp but

I think this suits Scott

https://youtu.be/szBXdyFSGls?is=sp9pNpcKyCrAKAv6

(The guy in the artwork is also a vampire in the game)

that's honestly not a bad pick! very dramatic, i feel like scott wouldn't be satisfied with not having vocals in his track so this is good lol. I do feel like it's a bit overly dramatic in places, some parts feel desperate/very intense in ways that don't quite match scott's composure. the soft end is very good though, leaves you hanging a little as to wether you're the one who ended it or he simply chose to stop

ok so I'm also gonna be biased and narrow this to one video game, otherwise i know this'll take me days to answer for listening to the soundtrack of every game i own just to get a good vibe. so i'll go with the game whose soundtrack i've probably listened to the most:

Which hollow knight boss tracks fits each vsmp vampire (+ abolish)?

Track names are bold for easier searching

Abolish: Mantis Lords. It's fast-paced but still grounded, invites into the dance of a skilled hunter. maybe even Nosk, if we're going for pure fight aura; he is really scary to fight, after all, though nosk is far less subtle about it. there's no deception there

Owen: Sealed Vessel, 100%. vicious fight that escalates before Owen himself starts seeing the afterlife and helps you kill him so he can be with Louis, while not quite wanting to die either

Legundo: on a similar note, Pure Vessel! i imagine this would be vampire legundo, desperate to die after being made into a monster and losing himself to the bloodlust. great contrast between the actions (gameplay/attacks) and the thoughts (music)

I feel like giving Scott Radiance would boost his ego way too much lol. The Grimm Troupe (normal grimm's song) fits a lot better, what with the organ and vampiric themes of the fight

Shelby: probably Hornet! more playful than threatening, though the fast-paced section does bring a lot of the inherent danger of vampirism

Pyro: Dream Battle. the heavy strings create a good oppressive atmosphere, while never feeling overly threatening. the whispers in the background make it really eerie, which is good for his tier three look. there is also some urgency in the higher strings, which again does well for the desperation of this character

Apo: something a bit desperate fits really well so her, so i'll go with False Knight. the percussions bring a lot of urgency and the string's melodies are really melancholic, which goes well with the character imo

Cleo: Broken Vessel, both for the fitting name and somber vibes. there is a little bit of hope through the despair though, this is someone who's just re-learning to exist after being basically possessed for so long, there's a lot of trauma that comes with it and the track suits that.

Drift: the final one! as funny as it sounds, I think Dung Defender fits her really well. It's hopeful and playful, a show that she isn't scared anymore and feels empowered by the vampirism (even if only on the surface) the faster strings towards the middle do well to brings that up, adding a little bit of doubt/urgency. it's like the music backing up her attempts at pretending she's okay

[decendintodream]

U should share for the humans too XD

[allthewhumpygoodness]

Hey so I know we All Know This but I will NEVER be over a character being feverish and delirious and making No sense. I will never be over a glittery-eyed, shivering, distressed character weakly gripping another's arm and asking them questions they don't know the answer to, and probably don't mean anything at all. I will never be over characters calling out for people either long gone or right next to them, but unrecognizable in their delirium. I will never be over a character crying in frustration and fear over something in their head they can't explain to whoever is helping them, and all they can do in return is stroke their hair and shush them gently.

My response may not be canon vsmp related but hey why not

me: I need to lock in on stink bug au

also me: what if more bloodloathing divorce au tho?

Legundo was impressed by a lot of things about Abolish. His ability to be quiet was the thing he was appreciating most in that moment. 

Legundo would have much preferred to settle things just between them, but it was looking like that wouldn't be an option anymore. And so he asked Abolish to join him on a trip to get some more resources for the town.

[decendintodream]

I ended up deciding to flesh out my RP characters r/s with each other instead of compiling accidental thrall thoughts

Sorry it’s not canon vsmp related 😅

Athanato’s life long goal has been to create the “perfect tragedy”

To do this he needs to find someone who he has been calling his Blood Diamond

Athanatos views Erik as his masterpiece

Something to be moulded and shaped to how he sees fit

Sry they arnt very long

I do not understand how to talk to people on tumblr

Am I supposed to reblog and talk? Am I supposed to use their ask box (or whatever it’s called)?? I want to interact with others but I’ve been lurking and god do I not understand how to interact.

I’ve been trying but I feel like I’m like being clingy to like 1 person who responds to the shit I reblog from their posts

[areafae]

The concept of Elder vampires like Scott and maybe morcant being able to create weapons that are just hardened blood.. dunno just a cool concept I see in other media

ooo that’s interesting, and could have some really fun cultural layer when you consider two things; after a certain point vampires don’t really use traditional weapons (instead use claws and fangs), and by using blood to create a weapon they are saying this weapon is more important than a source of food.

so maybe the weapons are considered a meaningful gift for your fledglings. Wielding a blood blade marks someone as a trusted member of their sire’s coven.

so imagine Scott’s surprise when he tries to sneak up on Abolish, only to find himself with a dagger at his throat. He glances down and is very surprised (and intrigued) to see Abolish has a very fine and very deadly looking blood blade.

[decendintodream]

Let’s take that one step further

A full blood weapon made from the vampire elders own blood rather then just someone’s blood

The vampire is giving up a part of themselves for their coven. Sure it’s more exhausting but damn if that ain’t a huge ass sign of trust

There’s probably also levels of skill to blood forging

Fledglings or younger vampires can’t create full weapons made of blood nor are they able to maintain the form of full blood weapons, so instead they cover existing weapons in their blood as a way to make the weapon more dangerous

Elders can pretty easily maintain the form of full blood weapons but depending on skill it may not be very ornate or intricate but it’s still a weapon

So instead of fighting with human made weapons, a elder vampire fight would involve full blood weapons

I’m also a fan of the idea that not all covens are just skilled at fighting. What if there’s a coven that’s just made up of vampires skilled at blood forging so their full blood weapons are more desirable to other covens.

The thought of pulling up to a fight to an elder and you see them whip out this beautifully ornate and intricate blood weapon and u realise u may have fucked up because that’s the blood forging covens style of weapon

[transmasc-abolishregret]

abolish is actually the only straight person in oakhurst. hes also transmasc though

[areafae]

I’m so sorry but I can’t lie the accidental thrall au has burrowed its way into my brain and has been bouncing around all day

I kinda dig the nickname ‘blood-bound au’ (since Scott’s blood is binding abolishs agency and mental state) but it’s uty

I also wanna yap abt the mind control since it’s my personal favorite part

As a given Scott has direct access to the mind and body of his direct fledglings (apo drift pyro)

Meaning if he wanted to he could technically see hear or even mentally talk to them (not in a hivemind way as it’s only one way from Scott to fledgling and the fledglings can’t do this with each other)

I’ve imagined it like a radio or tv channels. Scott can only turn in to one at a time if he wants to peep on what his fledgling is doing. So if he wants to check in with someone else he would stop receiving input from the first fledgling and has to “switch channels”.

He could also technically take over their bodies but it would be seemless, nothing about the fledgling changes except now Scott is at the helm. Even the fledgling wouldn’t be aware that Scott took over their body

In my personal HC, if abolish consumed more of Scott’s blood he too would be susceptible to this mind control. I couldn’t stop thinking about the end of vsmp if abolish survives then he goes back to his organisation and Scott is able to see through his eyes and gets a peek into the organisation abolish.

I have more thoughts but i feel kinda bad abt spamming them here in your asks so i may just compile my thoughts into my own blog. I’m sorry if this is long af… if this bothered u please tell me 🥹

not a bother at all! it's a very fun au to play in, I have also been thinking about it all day haha

theres lots of fun ways you could spin off the mind control stuff, I do like the idea of Scott being able to sort of mind hop to his fledglings, and maybe he can't full take over Abolish, but he can get little moments, small snapshots.

but as dangerous as that ability makes Scott, maybe it's also the potential opening for the town to get a win here.

Cause what happens to Scott's body while he's popping about in his fledglings heads?

Maybe Cleo catches on to what he's doing, and they figure out that while the fledglings are taken over, Scott's body is vulnerable.

Now Scott isn't stupid, he probably takes many precautions to keep his body safe while his consciousness is elsewhere. But maybe he could be tempted to act irrationally.

Cleo forms a plan, but it would mean Abolish would have to give himself over - whether it's taking more blood or straight up being turned. And how the hell would she convince him, when she can't explain that it's so they can kill Scott.

Cleo can save the town, but they'd have to send someone down the exact same path that destroyed their own life to do it.

Does Cleo even care enough about the town to do that? Is it worth it?

Lots of fun thoughts!

[decendintodream]

Wonder how apo and pyro would react when someone else tells them they were doing something they have no memory of doing. Like “hey I saw you at the lake crypt what were you doing?” “What. I never went there Wdym”

Or how much apo and or pyro would spiral if they suddenly “feel” Scott’s presence and then hear him even if they don’t see him around

[areafae]

Now how much more can we torture v!abolish in the accidental thrall au XD

First he is being compelled to comply to Scott’s commands, now we are making him go crazy by overwriting his senses. What’s next?

(I’m so tempted to talk more abt my OC and his elder + their coven to contribute to this au)

i meannnn i was thinking of a potential follow up to the scene i wrote where Cleo offers the obvious solution to the problem; Abolish lets her turn him.

But then if we add on the 'fledglings are mind warped to be loyal to their sires no matter what' idea that @jackdaw-sprite pitched, he's essentially forced to choose his loyalty.

Can he fight the thrall long enough to make sure Scott is killed? Or does he hand his loyalty over to Cleo? And would that even help, because Cleo is tied to Pyro who is tied to Scott so isn't it just handing himself over to Scott still, just in a more convoluted way?

Then add on the next layer of the cure. The only way to be fully free of any of the thrall or loyalty to a sire is if he gets turned and then cured, but the sire has to die. He'd be condemning Cleo, for the sake of his own freedom. Maybe that's worth it, though?

Every path is too risky. It's not even a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils. He's a danger to the town if they do nothing, but anything they do is just as likely to increase the danger as it is to mitigate it.

And the whole time he's slowly losing his sense of self and his trust in his senses and his usefulness. What does the living weapon do when he can't do the only thing he knows?

[decendintodream]

Don’t know how my ideas differ from what you’ve thought of but I just had a random thought :

What if as a thrall you quite literally can’t even comprehend the IDEA of killing your.. thraller? The person whose blood u ate

The bloods influence is a high risk high reward so it’s another reason why the organisation has been so stringent on who gets the blood. Imagine your agent not even being able to think about killing a dangerous vampire

[areafae]

oh yess i love the idea of them not even being able to comprehend the idea of killing their thraller (...i'm sure there is a proper name for that but i don't know it lol)

Legs: If you won't let Cleo turn you, then we have to figure out how to kill Scott.

Abolish: *eyes go completely blank, does not respond*

Legs: uuuuhhh....

[not0an0expert]

Ok I don’t go here but I’m thinking about Martyn dying because Apo gave him her blood and Legs tried to turn him. Whether he was enthralled or not is up to interpretation, but regardless, if we consider the possibility that a thrall can only be turned by their thraller (unless the thraller has died) it could add another layer to this.

Imagine Abolish knowing that the only way to be free from enthralment (especially if he literally can’t think of killing Scott) is to be turned by Scott, which would just mean he’s tied to him in a different way. Perhaps thralls can mostly think for themselves, but they have to do what their thraller says, while fledglings have free will, but their mind literally rewires itself to their sire. Which is better? And does it matter which Abolish prefers, when ultimately Scott has the power to force their hand either way? Abolish would have to figure out which is better for the town, and then convince Scott that it would be better for the coven.

[decendintodream]

THIS!! I’ve always been on the idea that Martyn died because apos blood conflicted with legs turning, resulting in his death.

Ever since I read the post about fledglings being rewired to have kinder feelings about their specific sire I’ve been SOLD on the concept too

[areafae]

Now how much more can we torture v!abolish in the accidental thrall au XD

[decendintodream]

I want to add on more on how this AU could affect Scott (taken directly from my OC and his thraller)

Scott is able to temporarily take over the mind of direct fledglings (example would be Pyro who was directly turned by Scott) BUT there is no clear way to tell, not even the fledgling would be aware that Scott took over. In their POV, they were one place then suddenly they were somewhere else.

I also imagined that for an elder who would have multiple direct fledglings. He can listen in to them like how one would a radio. He can choose to listen to what one is doing or he could “switch channels” to listen in to what another fledgling is doing. Or he could choose to not listen at all.

(I actually don’t remember who are direct fledglings for Scott)
