It's time to unveil the next fan Vampire SMP I've been a part of since last week!

--------

March 3rd, 1872. Veindale, Silver Hills, Montana Territory.

It's been 25 years since the last caravans left the Myerson Company's mining town of Veindale. Eight people live in the ruins, despite the old tales of disaster and ghastly rumors of cults.

Aside from the occasional traveler passing through, the town is quiet. That all changed this day, when six more people unexpectedly showed up at once. Two are cultists. One talks of vampire attacks. One is widely reported to be dead.

The town's peace is about to be disrupted, and the dark history of Veindale will soon be unearthed…

--------

Veindale is another Minecraft SMP inspired by, and using the plugin from, Vampires SMP. It takes place in an abandoned silver mining town with a dark history. Compared to Blood in the Pines, it will stick closer to the improv roots of its inspiration.

My character, Maeve Seward, is a wandering coppersmith and tinsmith, who's been driven to smaller, more remote towns by the march of industrialization. She heard about Veindale through letters sent by her mom's cousin. She doesn't believe in the supernatural (aside from tool-enchantment books and regular undead, they’re scientifically documented phenomena; but not weird things like magic tomes or vampires), and closely follows the newspapers whenever a rare supply caravan heads through town. She watches what they say about the direction society is headed, worried that soon there won’t be a place for her in the modern world. For now, though, she’s found a safe place to rest and sharpen her craft. Surely nothing bad will happen.

i lied, the previous post wasn’t the last about this.

here’s a final clip from legs’s stream:

do not let those people take this away from us.

Core four eyes/Milita eyes

This will be a series of pieces in which I'll sketch the eyes of vsmp characters. I've been wanting to do a small project like this for a while, but I've never had the energy to do it full-rendering-style. Well, let it be at least a sketch. I mean, it's definitely better than never ever bring my idea to life at all.

in my heart Apo, Cleo and Shelby all have VERY different hair colors.

like. for Cleo it’s obvious—their hair is bright orange. (I also like to think their curls hung straight or mostly-straight when they were a thrall—a testament to the lack of care, and something something never being allowed to take up space. Now, her curls are a healthy halo, commanding attention in wherever she goes)

Shelby has like…light rust?? if that makes sense? not quite orange, not super red, and her hair is unkempt and wild, and enjoys frizzing up in inconvenient places. (After she turns, her hair smooths. It lays flat, and does what it’s supposed to. Surely this is a metaphor for nothing)

Apo’s got literally the deepest shade of red that you could see grow out of human’s head naturally. Genuinely, it looks dyed. People often assume it’s dyed. It’s not. (Her hair’s always been a waterfall, thick and shiny. When it goes white, it looks more like a shroud. You rarely see their face after that)

What if bannerfall smp was only in colors picked from the music video for melty land nightmare by harumaki gohan

if I had to narrow it down I'd say that my favorite dynamic in vampires is apo and pyro. apo and doc is one I invest a lot of thought into (see my work in progress 8 chapter fic about them) but canon wise they don't have quite the level of importance to each other as some other dynamics, such as doommates. the doommates really are just so intertwined and tragic and well acted I'm not normal about them

So, you all know how vampires can eat raw meat. What if v!Cherri cuts the raw meat v!Apo eats into small heart shaped pieces for them to snack on. Cherri starts cutting them into different shapes for some variety. She cuts them into hearts, flowers, fruits, stars, and animals.

things happened please give me a comprehensive guide to apo please

okay so!!

I think the core of Apo’s character and story is “what if you did everything right and it wasn’t enough”. Like, this might not make sense because Yes, she is flawed!! She does bad things! And yet it’s still abundantly clear that Apo is the bigger person, who’s been victimized over, and over, and over again. She’s the cathartic tragedy of wondering “if I was kinder, smarter, stronger, would I have prevented it all? Is it my fault?” and knowing that no, it wasn’t. No, you couldn’t. And yet simultaneously, her story is about reclaiming agency. It’s about clawing your way out of hell and emerging bloodied and broken but alive. It’s about never getting justice, and it’s about surviving anyway.

here’s some of my apo stuff, also:

insane ramble that honestly sums it up pretty well: here

analysis(ish?): here, here, here, here(?), here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here

relationships(platonic romantic and everything in between): here, here, here(?), here, here, here, here, here, here(?), here(?), here, here, here

I will say only one thing

Vampires SMP is not the story of one single character only, however prominent or pivotal that character may have been

Vampires SMP is POW Creations giving us an incredibly beautiful story to step into

It’s Apo doing whatever it takes to get back to Cherri

It’s Cleo and Pearl making a new home and saving so many doomed people

It’s Martyn and Ren protecting the townsfolk to their very last breath

It’s Sausage mourning his friends and carrying their memory with him and making sure the story is told

It’s Pyro being loved and remembered and mourned, despite the cruelty he endured that nearly erased the person he was

It’s Scott and Shelby and Drift stepping into the new world together and promising to do better

It’s Legundo and Owen finally choosing their own ends and being able to rest

It’s Abolish going home

And Vampires SMP is all of us in the fandom supporting each other and supporting the people who continue to bring us these wonderful characters and stories and inspiring so many of us fans to create passion projects of our own

Never stop creating ❤️ Change the course as needed to navigate the rough parts, but never stop

did I ever mention how much I love the appletree bite scene? genuinely one of the most impactful moments of the entire series.

like. they are far from the only instance of consensual blood drinking, but what really sets them apart is the buildup

Apo and Martyn are both practical people—they don’t make a super big deal of it in the scene itself. but when you consider all that led up to it, the fact that this moment has been consistently foreshadowed since session four (quite positively as consistently foreshadowed as any scene between two specific characters CAN be, in an unscripted series like vsmp)

it’s insane. it’s devastating. it’s literally everything I wanted from them since, again, motherfucking session four

and it gets even more haunting when you know how it ends

because they were so, so close.

never will a scene truly illustrate “cautiously, but with admiration” (cc!Martyn’s own words on v!Martyn’s opinion of Apo) quite like this one

vanillabean-draws

All of themsssss :) gonna do close ups when I finish the NPC characters. Only a couple of these aren’t historically accurate *cough* scott *cough* but I set these around the turn of the century (1900-1910)ish, and I did actually quite a bit of research for these (though I did take liberties). I’ve been doodling some timeline accurate V!scotts so I might share one of those. These took roughly 17 hrs 🥲
