Probably not the most original idea but I came up with an Outsiders SMP AU where The Maze is some horribly messed up and twisted reality show and the Outsiders are its cast.
Basically, everything that happens in The Maze is broadcasted to the rest of the world (or other servers if you want to put it into the Minecraft setting) as a form of entertainment.
Haven’t decided if everyone is still of criminal background or was just unwillingly abducted and forced to be a part of it; maybe there’s some of both. Regardless, as far as the producers are concerned; the Outsiders aren’t meant to be mourned upon death by viewers as most of them were horrible people or nobodies that don’t matter anyway.
The producers of The Maze control the memories of those in it with the suppression chips and can make the Outsiders remember things to spur on the narrative. Some of these memories may be real, some may even be false ones created solely for the sake of causing drama and conflict.
Of course, while this show is highly received by many, there are people who see it as barbaric and cruel and have tried to get it canceled with no success as the producers are dangerously wealthy and powerful.
You know what would be a hilarious starting vampire AU? Scott and Legundo because I think having the two starting vamps not like each other but being forced to get along would be funny. Scott's still older and Legs is the younger of them.
Could toss in bloodloathing for kicks. Enemies to lovers or whatever.
I want to write something for Outsiders SMP for a little AU idea that crossed my mind. It will be c!Owen-centric but I want to do him justice as character capture has never been my strong suit. So I am requesting help from anyone who is better at capturing a character's personality or is a good character analyst.
I need a breakdown of c!Owen pre-memories and post-memories basically if anyone has posts that could help or the like.
Has anyone written a fic yet where v!Legs actually does go on a killing spree and become the monster that v!Owen was trying to create? Where he goes on a bloodlust rampage until someone stakes him out of mercy? Or where he 1v1s v!Scott and wins only to then be put down?
If so, I'd love to see it. If not, fic idea for anyone who wants to tackle it~
when i said i was gonna do some bloodborne type shit to him i MEANT IT :) an extremely fun excuse to play with some more low poly style character modelling and various rendering tools, plus some animation de-rusting/practice.

I would love to see a fic where instead of Owen choosing death after Abolish uses the cure on him he chooses life and joins Abolish's whole organization, leading to a redemption arc in which when he finally perishes as a human, he and Louis can finally have their eternity.
If I may make a humble request to this fandom...could you all please stop main-taging every RP blog post you make? Its really annoying for those who don't want to see them and just blocking the tag doesn't work well enough.
So please, if you are going to do a RP blog for this SMP, don't put it in the main tags and maybe not in the cc tags either. Thank you.
Had a thought. Given Owen woke up to find the one person who cared about him murdered and massacred almost 3k people as a result...do you think the physical, emotional, and psychological exhaustion led to him falling into slumber until the present day?
Do you think that perhaps due to that he never got a chance to go through the stages of grief at loosing Louis so all he has is hatred and vengeance when he wakes up and finds humans once again in Oakhurst?
