I often see people talk about the way Shelby is treated as the “little sister” and I don’t know what to say about it cuz I genuinely can’t tell if they’re criticizing the fans for it or pointing out the intentional reasons behind it (could be both at different times or something, it’s not like it’s all the same ppl)

Cuz like. I see Shelby as the little sister. And yes, it is mostly cuz she is the younger one IN TERMS OF VAMPIRISM. And people point out that it is infantilizing and such, which is to me THE POINT? Everyone in the series is always treating her as a sweet innocent naive girl who needs help despite the fact that she is a grown woman with more maturity than a lot of other characters tbh. And to me that treatment sets her as the little sister of the family, since those also get treated in such ways despite being their own capable people. Also she could not be the older sister that is a whole other archetype. And she is the favorite which is such a little sister thing too.

“Oh but it’s not as wholesome as being the favorite-“ YEAH! I KNOW! People criticize assigning these characters nuclear family roles as if that makes it More Wholesome than it is. THE REASON I’M DOING IT IS BECAUSE NUCLEAR FAMILIES CAN BE VERY PROBLEMATIC AND THE VAMPIRE FAMILY IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THESE SORTS OF ISSUES. I have a lot of feelings about the vampire coven as a family. I need everyone to see the toxic forced family with me it’s beautiful. People say “it’s not found family it’s forced family” and that’s exactly why I see it as family, because family is forced and not something people are often able to choose!!! (This makes it sound like I have family issues. I don’t. At least not so much. But you can observe a lot from others).

Anyways. I actually fully believe and headcanon that Shelby is older than Pyro. She is still his little sister to me due to their roles in the coven. I think the fact (er, headcanon,) that she’s actually older than him actually enhances how messed up it all is (for both of them tbh-). I also love the idea of everyone getting really used to the little sister older brother dynamic only for one of them to drop their age and all their family illusions get shattered as they realize Shelby is the older one. Idk how they recover from this completely inconsequential realization.

Couple headcanons for how I write Louis and Owen and just vamps in general-

Vampirism doesn't stop aging until a fledgling's body is around their 30s, but a vampire keep growing as decades and decades pass. Not aging, growing.

The Louis I write is roughly 2600+ years old (turned when he was 8, aging one year bodily for each century, placing him bodily at about 34) and even though he's hit his physical aging peak for immortality, he's going to keep getting taller bit by bit and proportionally fill in as he does.

By the time of the current headcanons, Louis is only like 6'2. By the point of a modern time/the reincarnationAU? He's 6'4.

(This does also mean the longer we keep this going the taller our gremlin boi Owen gets 😔)

Their ears also keep growing. Like, side by side comparison of the fiancés, Louis has much longer and pointier ears than Owen.

I just..... oh my poor boy.

That scene was perfection from all three povs.

Its all minecraft for the visuals but BRO, I felt every bit of Pyro stumbling into the water and their vision getting blurry as light-headed as they were from blood loss and trying to fight back and the exact moment Scott's bite went for their throat-

Im never getting over this fucking series

VSMP episode 6 spoilers

The humans got their shit together, and I think that's mostly because Abolish decided to lock in and actually take action rather than confining himself to the shadows. No one expected him, because he allowed himself to lie low and present as not a threat. Each episode I flip flop between which faction I think is going to win, and this episode it definitely seemed as though the humans would.

Why?

The vampires are fs heading towards a coven civil war, they're breaking into factions and that's way obvious when they're all gather around the table. Cleo and Drift, Scott and Shelby, Owen and Pyro. The problem is that the vampires are all too proud and too stubborn. While their emotions are heightened they cannot put aside grudges, they cannot put aside differences, they cannot accept any slight made against them. Owen and Pyro killed someone Scott saw as his own, and that will be paid back in turn (despite Scott's insistence that it was just a bad move strategically. And while he's not wrong, Avid was definitely a drain on limited resources considering when they're all full strength they can't breed animals for a reliable food source. It honestly wasn't good but it wasn't terrible). Scott vowed to kill everyone. The only way the vampires win atp is if they all as individual factions turn the remaining humans.

And that's not happening.

Why is that no happening?

The indomitable human spirit or whatever.

The humans are willing to put their differences aside. They're willing to ignore differences in ideology and method. It doesn't matter if you want to cure the vampires, or if you want to kill the vampires. They have to work together, and they have to work as one. They know they have to operate as a single unit, or else they're doomed. Desperation, and the willingness to put their own pride aside, is what's going to bring them to victory.

When they work together they are efficient. They overtook what was it 3? 4? beacons during the episode. If the vampires don't get over themselves they're doomed.

Also the Veylockes are SO TOTALLY AN EQUIVALENT TO THE VAN HELSINGS AND I FEEL SO VINDICATED BC I WAS SAYING THAT SINCE THE BEGINNING
