Ace, They/Them, 22. My Main blog and Art Blog, I mostly use seperate blog for reblogging stuff. I can be found in most places as "Shadowonwater" Pokeblogging: @profsilverleaf
At this point I see a very clear way for the humans to win. If Scott goes through successfully with killing Owen and Pyro, well... Owen didn't turn anybody, but with Pyro's death both Shelby and Cleo could be cured. And the thing is, Scott also has beef with Apo, if he decided to kill her too, assuming success, then Sausage could also be cured.
Which just leaves Scott and Drift. And the humans already really want to kill Scott. He would probably get weakened from killing other vampires. So if Scott was then killed, Drift could be cured.
There would be four vampires, all who could be cured. I think after so much death and losing their vampire family, I think both Shelby and Drift would agree even if they had enjoyed being vampires beforehand.
Cleo intends to survive. She would see the writing on the wall and agree to be turned. And while I think Sausage would have wanted to be a vampire for longer, if every other vampire was dead or agreed to be cured then I think he would too.
This is all assuming that nobody else gets turned. If Scott, Owen, Pyro, or Apo turn somebody else then what I wrote is still as true. But if Cleo, Drift, Sausage, or Shelby turned somebody else that might be a problem. Guess they could try to test if that Chandelier Theory of the cure works.
Came up with this idea when I was making a post about aus where everybody but Avid is supernatural.
The idea here is that Oakhurst is a small town of vampires and that all the characters have been living there for some, all but one of them anyway. The thing though is that I think writing variations with different characters as the human would be fun. So it's less one au and more a bunch of variations of an au.
The vibes are very cult-y.
I'll make a 2nd post later about what happens in the different variations. I've got ideas for most of the characters. One of my favorites is my idea for Pyro.
World Building:
Oakhurst doesn't have a barrier in this, if there every was one, it was gotten rid of long ago.
Scott is still the oldest vampire unless he's the human in the au variation.
The vampires mostly live off cows, sheep, and chickens. They sell the bi-products (leather, wool, and feathers) to other nearby towns.
Oakhurst has a mysterious reputation in the area. A lot of people go missing in the woods. It's said to be wolves (it isn't)
Oakhurst does get visitors. Usually merchants or travelers. Visitors usually don't stay long cause the town has bad vibes.
They have traditions that are seen as unusual by the nearby towns.
The nearby towns have an unusually high rate of people going missing.
Most of the vampires are stage 1 or 2, they still interact with humans so they still got to pass. Scott is totally stage 3 though.
Owen's massacre still happened. Scott woke up early but still after the massacre. He dug Owen out from the ground, and started building their town/coven from there.

Chapter features Avid's backstory in my modern college au along with what he was doing during the events of the 1st chapter. This includes Avid having a run-in with Owen.
You know those everybody is supernatural but Avid aus?
What if that... but everybody is a vampire specifically.
Like imagine everybody rolls up into town and they are all vampires except for Avid (but maybe he could be recently turned). And Avid trying to warn everybody about vampires, not knowing that that ship has already sailed. I think it would be pretty funny!
Everybody treating him like he's crazy because they don't want to get caught.
I could also see Shelby not being a vampire either, otherwise she's probably tell people. But she's still focused on werewolves.
Or imagine rolling up into a town with a community of vampires already living there, and Avid is doing his whole "watch out for vampires" thing and the whole town decides to mess with him for the shits and giggles.
Been seeing people play around with the idea of vampire instincts and I love it. One thing I haven't seen that much of though, with that idea, is a human pov of those instincts.
Like I think it would be fun to see someone write about what the humans might make of the more inhuman ways the vampires might act. Especially because of how that might effect their idea of that person truly being the same person or not. The whole "I'm still me, I just happen to be a vampire now" thing. Cause I could see a human having a hard time accepting that it's still them, if they are acting in ways that might confuse and disturb them.
Also even further the idea of a human that might have been unnerved by seeing vampires act on instincts that then later get turned themself and get the same instincts that they had found disturbing. And they then have to deal with it.
This is mostly relevant for a Vampires win ending where no human perma-dies
The idea is that the last human left in cannon would instead be the oldest starting vamp in this au. And the 2nd to last human would be the other starting vamp. And it just goes in reverse turn order.
So the last human would be Scott in this au.
Anyway can't do to much with the idea right now because the series would need to be over to really work on it.

Something strange is going on at Capital University
Something is changing some of the students into vampires
That something is an ancient vampire named Scott
Or:
Basically the plot (sort of) of Vampire smp but it takes place in a modern college in a city instead the ruins of some rural town in the late 1800's
For this first chapter: The Halloween Party
Pyro goes to a Halloween party
Apo stays in the dorm
Scott chooses his first fledgling in 600 years
I want to try to finish it for tomorrow for filler episode day. Also sort of doing the Halloween party prompt as well. But I plan to write more of this au in the future so it's not all going to be during Halloween.
Majors, Jobs, and Roommate Situations (Vampires in College au!)
More for my Vampires in College au. A basic rundown of my au.
This au is basically a modern college au but it keeps the supernatural elements of cannon. Including who the starting vamps are.
Something to keep in mind is that I don't touch fraternity/sorority stuff because I went to small college that didn't have that stuff. Thus I have very little knowledge about it.
For the human characters I have less ideas for what I want to do with them.
Scott
Roommate: Shelby
Major: Fashion
Job: N/A, Scott is rich from gems and gold and whatnot that he's kept hidden in his castle
Still a ancient vampire. He woke up from his cursed slumber and is going to college for a bit to catch up on what's been going on since he's been last awake. He plans on turning people to make a coven to help him take over the city so he can go back to his old lifestyle.
Owen
Roommate: Sausage
Major: N/A
Job: N/A
Is also still a vampire. Still did that massacre. Sensed Scott waking up and followed him to the city, to see what this older vampire was up too. Was homeless for awhile but ran into Sausage, who he tried to eat. Sausage got extremely excited about vampires being real so he invited Owen to move in with him and be Owen's bloodbag. Owen thinks he's stupid but finds the situation far more comfortable so he's letting Sausage live (at least for now).
Pyro
Roommate: Apo
Major: Anthropology
Job: N/A, (has enough money from his parents to not need a job but is looking for one anyway because they make him feel guilty for relying on them. He wants to be able to go no-contact with them)
Wasn't happy in his hometown (because of all the bullying) so he moved far away for college to get a fresh start. Found a stray Spinx cat in an alley that he named Truffles that he and Apo took in. Was drunk at a Halloween party and agreed to let a vampire (Scott) bite his neck and turn him (Pyro thought it was some Halloween roleplay and that they were just gonna make out).
Shelby
Roommate: Scott
Major: Writing w/ minor in Zoology
Job: Has a ko-fi for her fanfic writing on the down low. Sometimes gets short stories published. She doesn't have a stable job though.
Shelby is obsessed with cryptids and the supernatural. Like in cannon, her dad disappeared and she thinks a werewolf or the fae got him because he left for a camping trip. Her mom hardly talks to her to anymore and she never really had friends in her hometown. Scott is the best thing that's happened in her life for awhile. He's nice and doesn't look down on her belief in monsters, and also he pays most of the rent (Shelby had been struggling before). He eventually reveals himself to be a vampires and asks Shelby if she wants to be one too. Shelby agrees.
Apo
Roommate: Pyro
Major: Architecture
Job: Fast food worker, (She's considering enlisting in the military)
In a long distance relationship to her girlfriend Cherri. She's struggling to get ends meet and balancing work with classes. Having a roommate that isn't late on his part of the rent is really helping. She wasn't sure at first about also having a cat, but she has really grown to love Truffles. She's thinking about enlisting in the military so they can help her finish college but only out of desperation. She ends up getting fired and having to turn to Scott for help with money, which is how she gets turned.
Cleo
Roommate: Pearl
Major: Agriculture
Job: N/A, (She doesn't need a job because the government really wants people to become farmers so her education is getting subsidized by the government)
Cleo was adopted by a vampire and lived on a small farm with her her, her mother, and her grandfather (her mother's sire). She's well aware of the existence of vampires and knows they aren't inherently evil. She realizes that there are some vampire on campus. She isn't bothered that vampires are around but she is bothered about how bad they are at hiding, particularly Pyro. She confronts him about being a vampire and he panics and bites her, turning her.
Avid
Roommate: Drift
Major: Undecided
Job: ??? (idk yet)
Got scratched as a kid by what he is sure was a vampire. The wound never healed despite all the doctors that have tried to help him. His childhood bestie, Elle, is the only one that agrees that the scratch must have a supernatural cause. Elle is still alive and back home, she became a ranger and works in the woods that Avid was injured in. She's hoping that maybe she'll find their monster. Avid is undecided but he's interested in biology, chemistry, and medicine. He's hoping to try to figure out some way to heal himself. He's certain that Scott is a vampire and is worried about Shelby's safety. Shelby is the only person he's met other than Elle who believes in the supernatural. Avid finds out about Owen and gets badly scratched by him, causing his cursed wound to seriously act up and he starts having feral episodes. Shelby catches him eating a squirrel or something and is extremely worried. He opens up to her about his affliction. Scott overhears while invisible and reveals himself, telling Avid that vamperism would cure him. Avid, desperate for a cure, agrees. Shelby is still the one to turn him because he preferred her to Scott, whom he still doesn't trust.
Drift
Roommate: Avid
Major: Lawyer
Job: ??? (idk)
Drift and Avid first met when they were assigned a room together in the college dormitory. She thinks he's odd but they became fast friends. She also becomes close to Shelby through Avid. She thinks there's something suspicious about how rich Scott is, doesn't think he's a vampire though. Drift walks in on Avid getting turned by Shelby to cure his wound. Drift freaks out and tries to run but Scott (who was there for Avid's turning) catches up with her and turns her as well. So Avid and Drift still get turned around the same time and are trying to figure this vampire thing out together with the help of Shelby.
Legs
Roommate: N/A, he lives on his own
Major: N/A, he isn't a student
Job: Anatomy Professor
He's still a veteran but for a more recent war, idk which one. He feels a lot of guilt and deals with suicidal ideation. He finds Owen who's been creeping around campus. Legs sees someone who he decides he wants to help. Legs finds out about vampires because of Pyro maybe? Because Pyro (at this time) doesn't want to be a vampire, Legs wants to start investigating if a cure is possible.
Abolish
Roommate: N/A, he lives on his own
Major: ??? Undecided maybe?
Job: N/A, his adoptive family is paying for college and he has money left to him by his dead parents.
His parents were murdered when he was young and a family friend took him in. He's always been shy but his adoptive father wants him to get out there and get to know more people. Abolish decided on this college because his parents went here and its where they met. Maybe finds out about vampires from Pyro?
Pearl
Roommate: Cleo
Major: Zoology
Job: Teaches Self-defense Classes
Her family got attacked and turned into werewolves while she was on a trip away from home. Her family are all stuck in a wolf form and she isn't sure how to help them. They ended up going to a local zoo. She's studying zoology in the hopes to be able to either figure out a way to return them to their previous form or to at least spend time with them as a zookeeper. Finds out about vampires from Cleo.
Sausage
Roommate: Owen
Major: N/A, he isn't a student
Job: Writing and English Professor/ Writer
Sausage hit it big with his Twilight series but it seems to be lightning in a bottle. He wants to be able to focus on writing as his career but he's been having problems with inspiration. Needing money he's been working as a professor. One day a vampire (Owen) tries to attack him. Sausage is stunned by the realization that vampires are real and decides to invite the vampire to live with him despite knowing the danger. He's starting to write his next book about living with a vampire. Also he wants to be turned but Owen keeps saying no :'(
Renhart
Roommate: N/A, lives by himself
Major: N/A, not a student
Job: Performing Arts Professor
He's traveled all over the world in his youth with a traveling circus company his mother was a part of. He has a Frankenstein accent from all the world traveling and growing up around people from so many different places. He jokes that is tongue is cursed (it's not actually cursed). When his mother died she expressed her worry about Renhart not having gotten the chance to live a more normal life. So Ren is trying to honor that want of hers now. Finds out about vampires because of Martyn passing along information to him.
Martyn
