I’ll never forgive myself for what I did to you…

[ink--soda]

continuing the saga of asking everyone to draw either their v!elle or v!louis designs because they're my favourite little characters ever and i love seeing everyone's unique designs for them

one Louis and Elle coming up!

Drew Louis first when I had some insane art block, came back days later for Elle and the sketch was so decent I just colored it!

Bonus lovebitten sketch since I feel bad for doing Louis so dirty lmao

Okay, I've now watched Avid's VOD from last night and I do have thoughts about it, but not really anything that hasn't already been said, either by Avid himself or by me in past posts.

I very much appreciate him acknowledging and taking responsibility for the role he played in enabling and perpetuating misogyny in the MCYT space by leaning into the "yaoi slop" in VSMP just for the attention and growth it got him. He said himself that he sorta sacrificed a lot of the depth of his character for attention, and he regrets that.

And, of course, I love that he shone light onto v!Avid's relationship to v!Shelby and how their dynamic was much more complex and interesting than his relationship with literally any man on that server.

I didn't expect him to flat out say that v!Avid probably loved v!Shelby in a way, but as someone who has loved their dynamic since episode 1 and started shipping them around episode 4 or 5, it made me really happy to hear the creator himself acknowledge that and seem genuinely upset and disappointed over the fact that the fanbase really just didn't put any kind of focus on them and instead constantly pushed v!Shelby to the side in favor of the yaoi slop.

Also bringing up v!Drift and how, despite them not having much romantic chemistry, they still had a very deep, almost sibling-like, bond that, again, was more complex and interesting than his relationship with any of the men.

Avid has said many times, both in and out of character, that he is more comfortable around women and marginalized genders than he is with cis men (which is something I relate to a lot). In Vampires specifically, his trauma with Elle made it so that he was attracted to and got attached to the women that reminded him of her, namely Shelby and Drift. They were his everything, and no man could ever replace them in his mind.

I will say that one issue I have, which I've already seen others bring up, is how he handled his Bannerfall character. I'm not actually caught up on Bannerfall, so I haven't seen any of the VODs from the day he was on the server, but Avid making his character nonbinary with the express purpose of hoping it would turn people off of flirting with him just feels so... icky. I understand that he's still learning and growing as he discovers who he is and his own identity, but the implications behind that decision certainly rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, myself included. Saying that enby people cannot be yaoi or yuri, saying that they inherently are less likely to be desired, and implying that a straight or gay person cannot fall in love with an enby without being bi or multispec in some way is just simply wrong and, quite frankly, are very hurtful things to say. I'm sure he'll apologize and correct himself once he learns, if he hasn't done so already, but that doesn't erase that what he said was hurtful to a large portion of his audience.

Another thing I appreciate Avid doing, though, is calling out how other male content creators have been handling the situation on Twitter. Simply saying "Hey, here's a list of women to follow" and not doing anything to follow that up has never been and will never be enough, and the creators who do that need to do better. Avid actually naming and shouting out marginalized gendered creators that are currently and actively sharing their experiences and fighting against misogyny, and encouraging his audience to listen to them and support them, was an amazing thing to do on his part. And then later, with some SBK members, he opened the floor for them all to talk about the amazing marginalized gendered creators around them and how talented and special they all are individually, and show them the love that they all deserve.

CHECKPOINT #1: ASK BOX IS OPEN!

The townsfolk have just arrived in the ruined town of Oakhurst! As of right now, only our beloved doctor and town lunatic are vampires. And both of them think they're the only one around.

Feel free to send asks directed at any of the characters! Keep in mind I can't answer everything, and art takes time!

***Any time the ask box reopens, I'll be posting these little checkpoints to catch everyone up on how things are going down on Oakhurst. This is mostly just to keep this AU relatively chronological!
