🕸 "Think of the network like a spider web... If a fly gets caught in it, the spider will sense it immediately..."

I like me some worldbuilding for my AU's Not a whole lot to say for this one, but you're free to make up your own theories as to how the beacon network works!

I was always intrigued by these things in the actual canon... Their origin wasn't explained in depth, but from what I understood from Owen's pov it seemed like they were deliberatly placed to keep something/someone in, rather than keep people out. Since Scott had no idea what they were, but Owen did, there's only one logical conclusion.

But my biggest question is: WHY was the beacon inside the castle already red and corrupted before Scott's awakening while all the othere's were neutral? Was it Owen's doing? Or someone else?

me when intricate patterns oughhhh

[rhynnjoy]

THEY ARE A PAIN I HATE MY PAST SELF FOR MAKING IT THIS COMPLICATED

But thank you!

hows scott doing in the GoH au? He can't be happy about being constrained to Oakhurst still. Is he back to his scheming ways?

I'll be honest, I haven't thought about it all that much yet. I assume he wont be happy to be stuck here again with these ex humans, the majority of which he hates (and they also hate him).

Since goh!Avid escaped his fate for now, goh!Scott didn't get the same push he needed to process his feelings, or any human feelings for that matter. He's still very much in the nonchalant, sassy manipulator arc.

The short time he spent outside of Oakhurst with Shelby and Drift didn't leave him with a good impression of the modern world, nor did he make an effort to not cause problems (unintentionally).

Nah man I'm done lol I wont bring it up anymore 😅

[rhynnjoy]

Last time I drew Owen for an ask I realised just how much I hated the facial structure I gave him... So I actually locked in, looked up references & I can say now that I feel much better about this one!

Not to mention its easier to draw now

Left: Old Right: New

I will also update the annoucement post with all the cast designs with the new version

The AU's prologue is coming along! I'ts taking longer than I would like since I am also in the middle of another project with a couple of friends that's been on hiatus for a year (I'll talk more about it in May)

[rhynnjoy]

What is half of the cure that Abolish found?

In the Trinity or Restoration (canon name of the cure) the first book talks about killing the sire, the second talks about using holy water and the third, the crucial one, gives the incantation. The humans found the first two in the same episode and then found the third the next episode. In this AU they never found the third one and that's how we got here.

(I know in the server they made it so that the books can spawn multiple times in the tombs, but that doesn't add a lot of drama if they can get duplicates, so im changing it lol. If they can't find the books the vampires will get to them first, finders keepers)

[rhynnjoy]

In Guest of Honor AU, if Avid returned to his hometown, does that mean he saw Elle alive?

He managed to get to his hometown, but couldn't stay there long enough to find her (he was looking for her body as he said he would)

He kinda had to quickly skip town… he was never the best at controlling his bloodthirst.

[rhynnjoy]

In your Guest of Honor AU, who is whose Sire? Is it like in canon or are there changes?

Turnings stay pretty true to canon until episode 6. Im probably gonna talk about the sirehood changes more once we get deeper into the story!

[rhynnjoy]

Boo, an Anon ask you can use to show of a bit of the story for your AU you really like vut noone asked for

Oh gosh what can i say that's not too spoiler heavy...

I guess the part of the story i really like is how i get to expand on Apo and Cherri's relationship with small details about their pasts and the cute couple interactions they have before the start of the horrors.

Since Apo let some parts about it vague in the main series, it means i have some leeway to play around with Cherri's backstory, motivations and capabilities that would (hopefully) make it feel like she fits in with the world and the rest of the cast!

[rhynnjoy]

I wanna quickly say thank you to everyone who's been sending me asks and showing interest in my little project! ❤...even if nothing is really out yet...

I see them all but I would like to space them out a little bit so I don't spam the timeline

If you've missed any of my explanations you can look through the #ask me about goh au tag to avoid sending a question that's already been answered

Thank you!

Hello

I am here to ask about Abolish Veylocke informations. What is this web design vest wearing vamp up to? What's the deal with the Organization? Looking at the previous post it might not be pretty! How's the man who's who held the idea that he's the last barer of a vampire hunting family close to his chest doing? Now that he too is a vampire, one that's not entirely in control 👁️👁️

He's pretty bummed ngl lol. Besides honoring his parents, he came to Oakhurst to look for a cure, but he only got half of it and not the most important part + got turned so he considers this mission a complete failure on his part.

He's still part of the Org., but now he decided to take a backseat to action heavy missions. Since this Oakhurst coven is full of unpredictible young vamps. (& bc he already knows them) the org. sent him back to keep an eye on their activities and at least pretend he's going along with their plans. He can help Doc with the research and try to figure out how to break the curse keeping them in the beacons' range to make up for his previous failure.

Aside from that he's also working on uncovering a bigger threat to humanity by tracking down a cabal of vampires who've been evading the Blackwyn hunters for a millennia… as one does

The Oakhurst vamps didn't just get the attention of the monster hunters in the country…

[rhynnjoy]

oh or does the au take place outside of oakhurst in some aspects? some leaving some staying?

The story takes place in Oakhurst for the most part, but Cherri would be free to leave every once when the situation calls for it (seeing as she's the only human and thus unaffected by the beacon's curse on the vampires)

The rest can leave sometimes, but not for very long periods of time and most don't wanna have to deal with the uncontrolable hunger.

[rhynnjoy]

So, when people ask you a question you always put a visual/or art piece with question. So, I wanna think of a really good question. I just love your art style and excited for the comic.

So in your au(honored guest), Do Pyro still call Scott sire? Does anyone else call him sire? What are sire and fledgling bonds in your au?(If it’s a spoil to the comic,never mind don’t answer) Is there monarchy in the coven? Who wants to actually stay a vampire more: Martin or Cleo?

Take you time with this❤️🙏🏿Can’t wait to see your response

Thank you! but sorry, I have to disappoint you... I won't be able to put art with every ask I get since I'm trying to minimise my screen time throughout the day & I have to reserve that time for working on the comic. I'll only provide visuals if I see it as an opportunity to practice drawing the characters more.

To answer your other questions: 1. Pyro calls Scott sire very rarely nowadays and it's only when talking formal matters/ strategies. He's still keeping the appearance of respect, but he is very much not afraid of him anymore. He has a new employer he wants to impress now… Goldsmith's influence seems smaller by comparison

2. (I believe you meant to say hierarchy instead of monarchy) The bonds between them are the same, pretty informal sire-fledge wise. When it comes to the hierarchy, it's a casual thing as well, seeing as they were all turned weeks or days apart, however there's a bit of a subconscious "respect" towards the core 4 + Cleo, since they've had time to get used to the coven life and Cleo has previously been part of a large coven. Their input on group decisions is valuable.

The friends who turned friends tend to stay together and the rest are either on the outskirts or answer to the elders. Avid, Shelby, Drift & Pyro look to Scott Mr. M looks to Owen (Owen hates it) Avid looks to Shelby Pearl, Martyn, Doc look to Cleo Ren and Maryn look to eachother (& Martyn sometimes to Scott) Abolish and Doc sometimes look to Owen (begrudgingly) Apo answers to no one

3. Cleo has accepted that vampirism has been part of her life and it will forever be, whether they were getting turned in Oakhurst or later. Martyn is very much still conflicted about this whole thing bc of something called Renhardt Dogmourne and his wish for both of them to return to humanity.

I love how you draw vampires Owen’s poofy sleeves!!!... He’s such a pretty princess ✨ (body count in the thousands)

Thank you so much! I'm a bit out of practice in the puffy sleves department so it doesn't look the best rn lol
