let's think about killing scott goldmith together

Have you ever thought how blindable the Doc is?

-N

gonna be real I first read that as "biteable" and was like "owen sure has thought about it"

he is very blindable.... we don't know how poor his vision is in his good eye but those lenses are not for show.... I think for my headcanon he can still see in his good eye fairly well but he's nearsighted.

I'd imagine the monocle could easily get lost in a fight. he didn't come to oakhurst expecting altercations so I doubt he came in expecting to have to worry about something like that. not sure how he'd work around that once fighting is very much common (like session 6)... we're many decades away from contact lenses being popular. as a fellow guy with a bad left eye I sympathize. sorry doc.

Alright if no one else will do it. Owen and Legs. Have fun, soldier 🫡

sir yes sir 🫡 (great place to start because HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK owen calling legs soldier in the finale HELLOOOOOOOO OH MY GODDDDDDDDDD it's so cruel it's so so so awful!!!!!)

holy fucking shit what can I say about bloodletting. holy fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. OWEN FUMBLED. OWEN FUMBLED SOOOOOOOOO BAD......... HE FUCKED IT UP BEYOND REPAIR

godddddd writing them for killing moon and windmills fucked me up. they appeal to me so specifically because they are mutually so weird about each other. their toxic aro desire for each other but not as they are, as they could be is just so unwaveringly fascinating to me. who is doing it like them oh my GODDDDDD

what I'd love to see more of is exploring how badly owen hurt legs. like legs's turning is cruel. it's violent. it's assault. legs trusted owen once and owen shattered that trust. the ramifications and consequences of this.....

their interactions are so iconic. god. the way they talk to each other. they're just all so good. their sunrise and sunset on their lives. legs wanted to badly to change and owen wouldn't let him, dragging him down with him, but legs still resisted and managed to save someone in the end, not letting owen destroy the doctor

that's all I can articulate about them right now but they're so fucked up they're so appealing. I'm obsessed with them. what did they put into bloodletting holy shit. I’m gonna make them a textpost moodboard now

“Is this how applerot teams up. Saving their mutual friend” applerot enemies to friends slow burn 100k words while (and *because*) Legundo is going through the horrors 🙏

could the power of friendship with doc save cleo and apo's relationship? maybe!

I am actually obsessed with the dynamic here, because apo and cleo both care about doc, and depending on how early the team up happens it might just be bickering and not. full on hatred (cleo implicitly only hates apo after she turns sausage, and apo after cleo goes full team vampire). they both want their friend back... but doc is convincing himself that there's no reason for him to want himself back...

Thinking on your post about the townie vamps each holding themselves responsible for some disaster and like, Cleo insisting that's she's the Worst TM because she's done the most material harm (highest kill count) vs Drift arguing she's worse because she's the only one whose Bad Thing was a conscious decision/intentional. Avid being like, none of you harmed anyone you cared about personally, I murdered my best friend, so I'm actually probably the worst. Apo trying to come up with an argument for why she's the true worst and maybe realizing this is stupid and none of them are the worst because they all clearly feel guilty about it. Bonus if Doc is there for all this and is forced to do his own self-reflection.

AUGHHHHHHHHHHH YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

finally the brick duo "no I'M the worst person alive" competition can become a tournament! (joking). ouguhuhughhhhhh all those distinctions are so interesting and I could definitely see them all arguing that!!!! because cleo IS focused on her kill count, and drift always looks for people's motivations, and avid is grieving and guilt-ridden for the entire stay in oakhurst.

and of courseeeeeeee of COURSE it's apo who's like this is dumb. because to me apo is the type to go hey guys. this doesn't matter. it doesn't matter who's the worst person. we hate what we did. what matters is getting everyone out of here and saving whoever we can NOW. apo vampires you are hope and determination.

LIVE DOC REACTION....... apo ends her spiel and doc's thinking "glad they all feel better now. because clearly I'M the worst person." attacks him with hammers.

You may appreciate this. The world that could've been...

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so happy for them I’m glad they’re friends ⭐️🌟💫🌟🌟✨⭐️

If Pyro were one of the starter vamps, who would you want to be a starter vamp with them? And do you think that would make him more or less of a wet cat?

ouagahhhh let's think about this.

answering the second question first: if pyro is an old vampire I think he'd be scott goldsmith level insufferable. just fully separating himself from "the cattle" and overall employing the rhetoric he does in canon but after centuries he's FULLY believing his own bullshit. I think less of a wet cat in the sense that he's had centuries to hone his persona and powers and is far more uncaring. newer vampire starter pyro is still a wet cat

now as for his starting vampire colleague there's a lot to think about.... I think I've heard talk of doc or apo before and those are obviously fun... I think if pyro was with owen they'd just be the most dramatic pairing ever they're constantly evil monologuing at the town and all. hm I think shelby would be really interesting? because starter vamp shelby would be fully just "you're all going in my found family boxes ^_^ teehee" and I think that could bounce really well off of pyro who is just fully embracing his vampirism. they'd assemble world's worst nuclear vampire family and be so invested in creating a story out of the town's massacre/mass turning. yeah I might go with shelby for the purposes of this ask

Hello!

I was wondering why you dislike Scovid so much? This isn’t criticism or anything, I’m not crazy about it myself but I’d like to know why you specifically have beef with it.

Basically I just want to hear your thoughts

you know when you've disliked something for so long that you can't really articulate it once you have an excuse? that's what I'm feeling right now. let's see what I can do. easiest way is through textposts so let me get the ones I've used before

it's rushed as hell, it's given far too much weight, it's really amatonormative in the way scott talks about how avid is the thing that changed him and explicitly not shelby:

(you know I remembered that this moment happened but going back to get the exact wording he really just says it so explicitly doesn't he. shelby's friendship just doesn't matter to him as much as avid's romantic infatuation. wow.)

generally the ship just hugely mischaracterizes avid and scott by placing them into very specific boxes that completely woobify them and erase all the complications of their dynamic. nowadays avid gets misgendered too. he's nonbinary, he's not a man. @thegremlininyourcloset has a good post about all that. in general scott goldsmith just subsumes the fanbase, and every other character is pushed to the side/mischaracterized in order to smack scott and avid together like dolls.
