Vsmp roleswap au but I use a wheel to randomize the roles:
Scott takes the role of Shelby. This is a start for sure... Scott Goldsmiths personality in Shelby's role is hilarious.
Shelby takes the role of Martyn. I liked this until I realized this means she dies in the finale. I dislike this fact.
Martyn takes the role of Cherri. Waiting for who to come back?
Cherri takes the role of Louis (rip). She is cherrifire.
Louis takes the role of Pearl... Ok, monster hunter Louis... I feel like there's some irony here.
Pearl takes the role of Sausage. Writer Pearl! I like writer Pearl.
Sausage takes the role of Pyro. I don't really like vampires Sausage so him dying to Scott is not a problem for me.
Pyro takes the role of Avid. Replaced one complex about murdering someone with a different complex about murdering someone.
Avid takes the role of Abolish. What if Avid was still a wet cat but actually knew their stuff.
Abolish takes the role of Legundo. Oh yeah, he's still done with everyone's bull.
Legundo takes the role of Elle. Can't believe Pyro killed him... He gets to return as a demon tho.
Elle takes the role of Owen. Elle x Cherri real? Not clickbait? I...this is a crackship I approve of.
Owen takes the role of Cleo. Ok so Owen and Louis are taking the roles of Moonrot. I like both but still, slight downgrade cause Cleo and Pearl are awesome.
Cleo takes the role of Drift. So we get Cleo and Scott as a duo. Never seen that before (sarcasm).
Drift takes the role of Ren. And Shelby and Drift become the doomed yuri. I would have rioted if they died in canon.
Ren takes the role of Apo. So Martyn is waiting for Ren and Ren wants ti go back to Martyn? Typical.
Apo takes the role of Scott. Oh. That's. Canon Apo would hate that. This is the option she would hate the most. Well, I'd support her wrongs lmao. Also...Apo x Pyro shippers, I know you exist.
Tf!scott needs to be studied, Like what do you mean hes literally freezing because of his emotions being so pushed down???
Like what do you mean its so bottled up inside him that its slowly freezing him from the inside out????
Like what do you mean hes not telling anyone how he feels cause he feels like he always has to be perfect???
Like what do you meannnnnnnnn
Tf!scott needs to crashout, he deserves it and it could go multiple ways.
It could be explosive, when he finally breaks everything spills out and its so cold only pyro can approach him.
Or its silent, so silent that when he breaks no one notices until he stops turning up for class or meeting ip with people. So silent that his whole body has turned to ice, the only way to melt it would be to try and consolidate him but no one can get close.
Maybe he he'll cry, ice crystallising as it falls down his cheeks. Maybe he'll shatter like a thin sheet of ice, the cold breaking through his walls his skin bones and heart. At the moment its creeping. Much like the corruption its slowly eating away at his being, the doubt about his placement, the hurtful words and twisting finally showing as something tangible afrer years of hiding.
He had been doing so well for so long. He can't let the others know, he has to be perfect, hes fine. Its something he can handle himself he shouldnt be a burden on others when hes always been able to handle it himself. He'll be fine so they stay, if hes always good theyll stick around.
Everything is fine he can handle it. Hes had to be perfect his whole life. He can Perfect for them all, just until he can find somewhere to be alone.
majorscythe shippers are in shambles because of the canon height drops for the flight ans im just giggling. because.
okay so tf!scotts canon height is 6'4 (tf!pyro's canon height is 6') for those who dont know
i keep giggling at that fact because that means theres just this giant ice guy (that smajor keeps saying is built like kristoff from frozen) that likes to just. perch on stair railings. for like funsies.
its also very funny to me that tf!shelby is an entire foot and a bit shorter than him (canonically 5'3) but she ALSO likes to perch on railings. and like throws herself up with her magic to get to higher spots to perch.
so if you're hanging out with the vulpes dorm theres a good chance you'll see this nomad girl that has bugs in her pockets perching and trying to get to a higher spot to perch and usually near them if not next to her is a guy that is way taller than them perching on the railings as well. like. 🥹🥹
my main povs both perching on railings like theyre birds brooo get downnnnn
tf!shelby and tf!scott never stop perching you guys are 100% birds or cats or smth that perches i swearrr
TF!Scott gives off the type of guy to be hiding the fact that he got too close to the corruption in tegrith, and for some reason it hasn't fully possesed/taken him over yet cause hes the goat.
I'm now watching other teams povs from the dragon tournament from yesterday and it's so funny how other teams during PVE waves keep screaming "I'M FROZEN" "KILL THE ICE MAGE" "STAY AWAY FROM SCOTT" "If you see Scott go the opposite direction!"
Meanwhile Vulpes(i have no idea how to spell that) are just "Freeze them Scott!" "This is the best combo!" etc
Like the ice hurting everyone apart from Scott but his team still staying near him asking for MORE ice lmao
Cute little tf!Scott (and kinda tf!Pyro) headcanon!
Scott's body temperature is actually quite high according to the second law of thermodynamics (I'm a nerd, sorry)
It's been a hot minute since I took biology but the gist of it is like how refrigerators get hot while producing cold because it takes a lot of energy, and energy makes heat
He makes the air around him cold, which helps him not completely overheat, but it also makes him feel warmer to touch by comparison
So Scott feels like a space heater, and every dragon that discovers this wants to immediately be cuddled up in his coat
Most of the baby dragons are better behaved if Scott's holding them because it's comfy and who wants to move and be mischievous when they're comfy? This makes everyone think he's some kind of dragon whisperer (except for Maddy, who knows exactly what's going on but doesn't say anything because it pisses Pyro off and that's funny).
Combined with his narcolepsy making him just crash wherever he is sometimes, it's a very common sight to see Scott lying somewhere in the academy with four or five dragons cuddled up to him for warmth.
On the flip side, every dragon except Aurora just HATES Pyro for the same reason. Heat disperses, so all the heat they produce leaves them pretty quickly. Their body temperature isn't cold or anything, but if the air around him is constantly heating and dispersing, they'll feel cold by comparison. The dragons get close and it feels warm, but when they want to cuddle, he's not! The horror!
Aurora is the only one willing to sit in their lap, the rest just hover nearby and growl if he tries to touch them. Again, Maddy is a dragon expert and knows why this is happening but it's so funny to watch Pyro suffer that she doesn't tell him
Pyro is the only one in the academy that can read Scott’s emotion when he’s just standing there without saying any word. Like sure he will be a bit more expressive during conversation with people, but when he’s alone or not talking it’s just ice-cold blank expression. Imagine Scott’s just standing there looking at random walls with zero expression looking like his exact normal self,
Pyro: What is Scott’s problem today? He’s been upset about something this entire morning.
Drift: He’s upset??? How can you even tell?!
Pyro: What do you mean? He’s clearly pissed about something.
👁 - not mentioned in canon at all and gathered from my personal observation. Can equally be a canon, a coincidence, and a cc!Scott's trait mistaken for character behaviour. Happened at least 2 times or was interesting enough to deserve the mention here.
∿ - mentioned in canon, but not confirmed directly, or confirmed partially;
without these two specific symbols - confirmed in canon, or said directly by tf!Scott or cc!Scott.

Abilities, traits and behaviour
- Didn't leave Tegrith except for "occasional visit to his parents". His conflict with Pyro is based on loyalty to family and desire to stay;
- Isn't used to tall ceilings and tall buildings;
- "Just do as you always do, make mom and dad proud";
- Can change his outfit with his powers (like Elsa);
- Not a flirty one (mentioned by cc!Scott);
- Has a good tracking skills;
- Loves harmless pranks, "used to do them all the time";
- Never been the one who can pick locks before and learned lockpicking only now (from Pyro's comment and Scott's responce on stream 7);
- Likes snow;
👁 Quite good with understanding non-speaking characters, as seen through Percy the pig and instances of communicating with mute guards without game chat;
BUT
- Doesn't know sign language (he understands guards' "signing" in game chat because Academy's magic is translating it);
👁 Good with his words, but it seems like he's not very successful with them when it's time to calm someone down;
👁 Doesn't sound to outright approve thievery or directly engage in it, but he's pretty much okay with keeping and using stuff that he knows was stolen by others;
👁 Has a good sence of direction;
👁 Likes his notes hightly organised, with every method possible (observed from him writing Scott's Spellbook);
∿ Didn't object being called a horse/animal hater;
👁 In every expedition tends to go ahead of group, far enough when he can't hear them, look around for a bit and then wait for people to catch up;
👁 When irritated with someone, shoots them with ice beam more often than not;
👁 When with other people, never takes everything from chests, sometimes even lessens the amount taken if the stuff can be useful to others (e.g. stream 8, chests full with lockpicks where he took 2-4 lockpicks even when no one else expressed interest in them);
👁 Doesn't gatekeep knowledge (like rituals he finds out himself or new books), but but shares it initially only with the closest friends;
∿ Didn't object being called "not a comedy guy" by Pyro;
👁 Keeps track on everyone when moving in group, usually the first to call out for strugglers and help them catch up.
Dragon
Name: Aurora (Borealis)
Personality: Loyal
Likes attention and loves snow;
When Scott sleeps, Aurora rests curled up on his chest;
👁 At the choosing ceremony on 1st stream, most dragons chose their people while flying around, but a smaller number of them were choosing while running on the ground. Aurora is one of those who ran.
Current appearance:
(references for her adult form are here)
Other details
In character, his stream chat is called snowflakes;
His dorm room is freezing and he doesn't notice how cold it is. Besides Scott, Pyro is the only person who can feel comfortable in there;
👁 It seems like he's never being thrown very far by Shelby's wind, landing somewhere in the middle-near back end of every group he's being thrown with;
(from cc!Scott) In Pokemon trainer AU tf!Scott would have an Alolan Ninetales, while Pyro would have a normal one;
Corruption has reached Tegrith before Scott went to the Academy. Scott hasn't told Pyro yet.
From tf!Scott's words:
- it isn't as bad as the one in the village near East shield tower (where Tim was and where Scott went on stream 9);
- the winter and ice keep it from actively spreading cuz there's not much to grab onto, but summer time is dangerous;
- "things are fine" and "they can move into mountains if needed".
