ramble of an AU that's also been on my mind whilst I'm very. willow brainrotted. CC2 has brought the Willow brainrot back from a solid 75% to 110%. The absence of Rift 1.5 is STRONG who am I without the spark of joy/fear whenever I saw his join message.
Imagining a vampire AU where Fallen Kingdom are a coven. The Whisperers are vampire hunters. Herobrine's Dynasty are also a coven but they are the BAD COVEN1!!!11!
My first idea is that Herobrine turned Rift 1.5 & abandoned him whilst he was still a new fledgling, which drove the guy into the insane Rift 1.5 we (I) know and love. I haven't read any vampire fiction in FOREVER so I honestly forgot how vampire instincts/customs work (but it's fiction, I can change that if I want) but I'm unsure how he would sever that connection between him & Herobrine? Considering they would never get along that would have to happen somehow.
The second option is that Rift is already a vampire at the time of Console Craft, he isn't too old but his sire (idk who that would be, if anyone) is dead. He's probably forced to turn Samara which forms their little coven of 2 & perhaps an incident occurs where Fee is badly injured but they're turned by Herobrine? Mostly so they can get their room in the mansion LMAOO nothing good would come from this. Rift & Shrimp try to save them but they're fucked up in vampire instincts and shit. The Host has to babysit. They blame this on Jameson.
