//VSMP EP 6 SPOILERS (VAGUE)

I'm having insane thoughts about the coven in ep 6, specifically from owen pov :(((( I just want them to be happy :((( he's so distrustful and cynical and aaaahhh my poor heart </3

anyway I'll be over here with my au where he grows to care about and trust them again feel free to hang out

[the-flowercrown-prince]

not to be vampires posting on main but fuck, this series has such interesting portrayals of consent, lack of consent and victimhood

by episode 4 we know that Owen and Scott, both of the starting vamps, have been turned consensually. they chose vampirism over their previous life, and clearly see it as a blessing or a gift

but everyone that's been turned during the series was turned violently or through coercion. Owen and Scott believe that what's best for them is best for everyone, and in following that they violate the boundaries and consent of everyone around them

the respect of consent that was afforded to them they did not afford to others, and you can see it reflecting a sort of privilege and power imbalance they have in regards to the fledglings

take that scene of Owen talking with Legs in ep 3, and him speaking for all of them when he says they don't want a cure

and on that topic: Pyro

Pyro is fascinating, because he's almost at the epicenter of all these themes. he was turned without consent, violated, but he was also someone that helped perpetuate the cycle with the turning of Shelby

how the abused become the abusers and so forth

but Pyro and Shelby illustrate another idea reflected in the story: the concept of the perfect victim

we see this with a lot of the humans, but most prominently with Avid. even when he wants to believe that some of the vampires are good, his thinking is still extremely binary

Shelby is 'one of the good ones', and Pyro is lumped in with Scott and Owen as 'the evil monstrous vampires', even though he has also been turned only a short while ago

pretty much everyone seems to forget that Pyro is a victim too, that he was turned nonconsensually, and as much as he managed to roll with the punches he still didn't ask for this

but he's not the perfect victim, like Shelby who's not hurt a human. he lashed out, and did some bad stuff along with the elder vampires, and in doing so he became both the attacker (particularly with Shelby) and the victim

does he not deserve to be saved because he's imperfect, because he lashed out?

does he deserve to be labelled a monster and killed for being put into a bad situation and making bad choices in return?

Avid believes Pyro is unsalvageable and inherently a monster, and refuses to think otherwise

but Pyro doesn't want to hurt humans, he's just trying to scare them away in ep4, and he's open to the idea of accepting help, out of all people

he's used to being called a monster, so he leaned into it, but he does not want to hurt anyone, not really

does he not deserve to be saved? do you have to be the perfect victim to deserve help?

which is why Legs, who truly understands the nuances of the fact that vampires are just people and not a monolith, is so important to this discussion

he sees the victimhood in people like Pyro and even Owen, who are not perfect victims, and yet in his eyes still deserve help

but for most of the humans that complexity is too hard to take into account when these 'monsters' present an active threat to their lives

//PAST LIFE FINALE SPOILERS

*trying to team with everyone and getting betrayed constantly* *getting killed by 'allies' while infiltrating another group cause he didn't tell them* *hoping that literally any of his alliances stick* "I can't trust anyone here" *giving bdubs tHE FUCKING CLOCK WHILE SOUNDING DERANGED???* I AM BACK IN THE FUCKING BUILDING AGAIN!!!

[eluminium]

all these posts about the gluten guys and lost generation teamup that include some variation of "oh and Impulse is also there" are making me think back to wild life. where it was also "three Gs and Impulse is also there". which makes me think back to last life and southlands and how that also had a "Impulse is also there" vibe.

then for a second i got mad at the fandom for being so dismissive before i remembered that perhaps we're not completely baseless here. because i thought about southlands and how when martyn does his last "making fun of mumbos intro" bit, he only made statues for jimmy and mumbo, despite impulse also having died. and i thought about wild life and how the only person who seemed to care about Impulse was Pearl, and even she was mostly focused on other matters. and i look at past life now and see how Ren says "Impulse is getting stuff for us" and Cleo going "he's our husband" before correcting themselves with "they're our husbands".

and i think about Double Life, about "I want Etho." And I think about 3rd Life, the only time this feeling of otherness was warranted. And i think about Limited Life. Impulse's best performance. The one team where he wasn't just "there".

i wonder if the phrase Impulse keeps repeating in Past Life, "I need teammates!", isn't just something he says out of strategic interest. i wonder if there's something in his heart that cries out to be valued, to feel like he's part of something, to have someone tell him they're proud of him. he always works so, so hard in making sure his team has all the resources they need. he puts himself in danger to prove that he's worth having around. he's willing to sacrifice his own lives to get kills. he reacts so badly to failure because every failure is another reason for people to ditch him. he thinks that, if he just works hard enough, he'll finally have the one thing he wants even more than winning.

and yet both fanon and canon treats him the same. He's a white sheep among black sheep. He's the tagalong. He is also there.

[the-flowercrown-prince]

THIS ^^^^

Impulse makes me so insane like!!! It's been obvious since Last Life that he desperately NEEDS to belong! It really feels like Third Life (in general but especially the end) had such an insane impact on him.

He'll do anything to belong, and to do that he feels he needs to be useful, except. Except while he provides physical things of value to his teammates he doesn't have the time to be there, to strengthen the alliance and remind everyone of his presence.

And so when he's gone everyone just... stops thinking about him. In LL, in SL, in WL. He's (almost) never a core member of the team, and so even if it sucks that he's gone nobody lingers on it

Even in DL it always felt that Bdubs was the leading member of their pair, and Impulse was also there. Like their relationship was already fraught because of 3L, but Impulse never really tried to venture beyond it because he was so busy clinging to what he could never have.

But!!! Things CAN work out for him, as seen in LimL. His team values him, he has a good time, it feels like he belongs. He gets a taste of true companionship.

And then it's gone, and he's left chasing that high again. And so he works harder than anyone, he sacrifices more than anyone, but it was never really about that, was it?

After all, love is not earned, it is freely given.

[the-flowercrown-prince]

Also I think it's incredibly poetic that, while they were the last full team left, all of the Tuff Guys quite literally imploded in the end. Etho exploded in a trap he set off to try to kill others. Bdubs got accidently knocked off the tower by a windcharge Tango threw. Tango died because of a creeper he put down. Why is this like the most ironic shit ever. Couldn't script this if I tried.
