⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪ HELLO WORLD!!
i am out on the hunt for bigfoot (and various other cryptids) so if you see anything of any of them PLEASE let me know!!
she/they!! ⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪
oh- and if you're from town... please don't do anything mean. i will fight back.
any way the wind blows...
there is a young lady dressed head to toe in armor. she wears a blindfold across her eyes. blind to the happenings of things, but determined to believe everything is set in stone by Fate. she has settled in a little camp off a ways from the others, near disarming pools of water.
ask her questions- either way, anything she could end up sharing was already fated for you to know.
(ooc: okay wait spoilers for shubble pov finale)
(i would be willing to answer asks from immediate post-canon of the finale OR from new york 2006 era!! as long as its clear which one in the ask!! my prose will probably be from new york 2006 so i just wanted to establish this very quickly :3)
(ooc: happy finaly day friends. good luck to all the other rp blogs i am cheering your povs on but whatever happens this has been the most joyous 10ish weeks for me!! the rp will continue after the series ends but based off what happens to shelby in the finale i may have to drift into au territory- but i hope she gets out. good luck and godspeed i will see you all when the finale is done on shubble's end!!)
(non spoilers update: i am crying! shubble crafting peak cinema always but this one made me Sob!)

curled up under the blankets of her little pink bed, facing away from the door, shelby cries. harder than she had since getting here. it was all really good, for a while.
well. as good as it can be, now. and then her fledgeling in arms- the first person to really support her and befriend her in the coven-
flashes of red. the ache in their chest as he screamed, and screamed, and screamed-
he'd taken his life. voluntarily. not because he was a "liability", but because neither him nor owen liked him. couldn't trust a baby vampire not to be "reckless".
he'd dug the hole. begged them to stop.
it was all they could do not to punch pyro harder as they ran down the steps to their room. the discussion with owen certainly helped place the blame a bit more- they'd had the opposite situations, in a way. he'd had the person he cared most for taken from him, and then made her live that out too. at least he had the gall to apologize.
cleo laughing in their ears. "at least it wasn't someone important". her ears had rang. hands shaking.
it was all they could do to look to drift, now. she was all they had left. they had to stick together. survival was more important than actually trusting the whole of the coven. drift was good, scott was... alright. he'd fought them decently over it, and was actually attached to avid too.
but all she wanted now was to take drift and be rid of oakhurst- bigfoot be damned. they'd find him somewhere else.
with shaking hands, she begins to write a letter no one will ever read.
avid,
i wish i could've been there, too. you were happy, i think. with me, and with drift. cryptid buddies in the castle, together again.
i saw what they did. i didn't tell them. thanks for telling me how it went down. it hurt- but it meant a lot. i don't think it was on purpose, so just know this:
it wasn't your fault. i wish more than anything that we could've done something to change it- but i think i doomed you, that day. clawing into your scar. i think that killed you.
i'm so sorry, avid. i wish i could've protected you the way you protected me. thank you for being my real friend. thank you for believing with me, and in me.
tears fall onto the ink. the words smudge.
we're going to get out of here, for you. build you a real grave. get you flowers. if i find bigfoot, i'll bring you his picture.
i'll miss you. i really cared about you. that's why i doomed you- because i cared. i wanted to help you. i loved being your friend.
all the best, now and always,
shelby
(ps: when my book is done, you'll be the first to hear it :])
(regarding the sleepover even though its almost over)
shelby might've accidentally napped through a good portion of the sleepover, but they were finally up and at 'em enough to start having fun!! they found drift in the sea of pillows and blankets created during the event, clutching littlefoot close.
DRIFT!! do you want to build a pillow fort? or is there already a fort going somewhere :O
@v-shelbyshubble-v
“Shelby!! Yeah sure! And uh…not that I know of- I kind of haven’t done much here…”
Drift responds, clutching a pillow to her chest as she turns to look at her friend.
OKAY!! we gotta grab pillows, obviously… i have a blanket- but we need more!! good structure, good walls!! see what you can find and meet me back over here!!
shelby runs off giggling, scouring the blankets and pillows to fill her arms.
The detective blinks, watching Shelby run off before she smiles and turns to go gathering the requested items herself.
they regroup back at the arranged meeting place, dumping a bunch of pillows from their arms. several blankets fall off their head in the process. its a little crazy.
OKAY! how are we thinking of starting this... pillow pillars for structure, or getting near a wall and using the wall to hold everything up, or... i don't know! i've never made a pillow fort before!
“I haven’t either-“
Drift admits, picking through the items they had acquired.
oh my gosh!! it has to be perfect, then!!
beginning to set up some of the pillows as pillars, shelby talks while they work.
i mean, pillow forts are absolutely the pinnacle of coziness. you read about them, but i think making them is also as fun as being in them!

(sleepover open rp starter!)
it’s been a long day, and shelby has been stuck in ‘doing an exciting thing late in the day’ mode for hours. it’s been hell to wait- but she’s finally here, dressed in her coziest and armed with a bigfoot blanket and their plush bunny, littlefoot.
they are definitely excited to have fun! just beware the sleepiness…
SLEEPOVER MINI-EVENT RSVP & INFO. 🌹
An Oakhurst tradition that seemed to have lost its infamy with the many years of the town's abandonment was known as the days of darkness. Less of a tradition and more of a natural phenomenon native to Oakhurst and its area. It's known as the days of darkness due to the fact that 2 or more days out the year, the sun sets and seemingly doesn't rise in the morning. Coating the town in a dark night till the sun decides to rise again. The town used to have a festival around the time, equating it to some ancient god or force or just nature. Before the superstitious of the bunch started calling it a sign of end times or work of the supernatural.
Whatever it meant, it still happened every year. And it was clear it would be happening soon. It was always around this time of year, and the signs were all clear to Scott! They didn't have time for a festival, no. But since Scott seemed to be the only one to remember such an event, why not throw a little party himself? And what better way to celebrate an eternal night then..
..a slumber party!
Scott was quick to get to work with writing letters, making posters, and starting to spread the word. Sneaking into town when he could to drop off wonderfully written (and scented) invitations onto people's doorsteps and putting up pretty posters all over town. Detailing the events of the night:
Dear reader, you are cordially invited to Scott Goldsmith's Manor at sunset on November 7th to celebrate Oakhurst's annual 2 days of darkness with a slumber party! There will be no harm, ulterior motive, or misfortune event planned. Just a night or two of celebration and company. All of Oakhurst is invited: human, vampire, and creature alike. Please bring pajamas, blankets, pillows, plushies and whatever you like to celebrate with us.
If you wish to attend, and we hope you do, please send a letter or message to the castle or a vampire before the event to let us know to expect you!
- Yours truly, 𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒕 𝑮𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒔𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒉 ♡

Hii! I've had this idea for a bit but since the masquerade, I wanted to have a little mini event :D not nearly as cool as that, but something with fun lore and possibilities! I have ideas for karaoke, summoning a ghost, spin the bottle + seven minutes in heaven, make overs, ect! This event will be November 7th around 5pm CST and will last until the morning of November 10th so it can last the whole weekend! Since it overlaps with Sunday, anything that happens in EP 7 won't apply to your RP of the sleepover :]. Canon characters, OC's, and anyone else is allowed to join.
If you're interested please reblog or comment noting your attendance so I know to tag you in any posts! And PLEASE use the tag #vsrp sleepover for any posts regarding the event! Uhh hoping I didn't miss anything here. I hope you enjoy! And if you have any suggestions, please let me know. Toodles ❤️

Lore: While searching for Bigfoot, and the last dregs of her father’s research- Shelby got stuck in Oakhurst. Now, as a vampire, they are fighting for the right to survive the townsfolk. They believe there is a world where everyone tries to get along- they just have to find some sort of peace. She’s trying her best to be a good vampire- but it’s getting harder to hold on to humanity.
I expand on the lore as new vsmp episodes drop!
Additional Comments: I was one of the oldest vsmp rp blogs and it’s been so beautiful to see this community spring up! It’s so fun to be part of things around here and I love to share my portrayal of Shelby’s character :D

#VSRPMasquerade
Instead of Shelby, a familiar figure but also not made their way onto the stage. Clasped in their hands the results of the coveted Red King and Red Queen of the Oakhurst All Hallow's Eve Masquerade. Of course the moment that he opened his mouth, it was clear who it was. Scott Goldsmith, the owner of the manor in which the masquerade was being hosted in.
"Good evening everyone. I hope that you all have enjoyed the festivities, drinks and gossip had tonight. Our lovely cohosts would have been up here to make this announcement themselves but since they are otherwise preoccupied. I figured I would take it upon myself to read off the candidates for your Red King and Red Queen, as well as announce who shall be taking home the crowns~!"
A smile made its way onto their lips as they opened the folded envelope that they held within their hand. Scarlet hues reading over the names before smiling slightly as they looked out to the crowd once more. After all, there were many candidates submitted for both Red King and Red Queen, but two among them stood out amongst the rest. However, they wouldn't announce who they were just yet after all where was the fun in that?
"Coming in Second with a total of 8 votes, we have yours truly, @scottgoldsmith, in third place we have @cherri-fire-of-the-vsmp-variety with a total of 6 votes, tied for fourth, we have @oakhursts-curse and @enlistedepilogue with a total of 5 votes. Following them, its a three way tie for fifth between, @zombie-cleo-farmer, @doctor-legundo, and everyone's favorite bat, @bat-news with 4 votes. Sitting comfortable in the middle of the pack is the ever loveable detective, @detective-drift with 3 votes. Close behind them, @vsmpceline, @settingupanoutpost, @ruins-priest, @manfromthemirror, @wandering-librarian and @v-shelbyshubble-v all with 2 votes. And finally, bringing up the rear with 1 vote each, we have @4pokuna, @pyromanic-fox, @vampyros-blog, @paying-my-respects, @avidly-hunting, @scarl3tt-h0rror, @vampire-slab, @philzaofoakhurst, @owen-the-lumberjack, and @mayorburntdown. You all did your best, but don't be disheartened, after all you are all being acknowledged for your efforts as well as for your wonderful outfits."
Pulling out another envelope from what seemed like thin air, this one was in red rather than white like the other one. It was sealed with a black wax emblem which Scott opened near flawlessly. Their lips curving into a fanged smile as they scanned over the contents of the letter. Lowering it, he turned his attention back to the crowd as he held the letter in the air.
"Now, what you've all been waiting for~! This year's Oakhurst All Hallow's Eve Masquerade Red King is... our very own host, @avidhunt!!! Let's giving him a big round of applause as he stole the show with a staggering 12 votes overall!"
Scott waited for the applause to die down before their grin widened a bit more as they continued, after all, there was still the Red Queen to announce.
"And for his Queen, who better suited then our very own co-host, @residents-of-oakhurst~!! Having just squeaked out the win, having 9 votes overall!"
What a surprising turn of events! After all, it had been a close run but also a rather fitting end to a wonderful night. Once the applause died down again, he began to speak up once more to finish up their announcement.
"Once again, I must thank our wonderful hosts for such a dazzling time. And thank you all for attending and making this one of the most successful events to date!"
(regarding the masquerade)
DRIFT!! you look so cool!!
shelby has appeared in front of her, near-instantly- were they sneaking around the ballroom? who's to say! their dress didn't even make any noise...
i was hoping i'd find you somewhere in here- this is the most people we've ever had in the castle before! honestly more than a bit scary- i was glad to see you out here :D
@v-shelbyshubble-v
Drift startles, looking at Shelby with a grin. Sure the detectives mask only covers half her face, it still counts well enough.
“Shelby! Hi! I was worried I wouldn’t be able to catch you tonight” She greets, smiling widely at the other vampire. “I’ll admit I was a little worried about the purple…I think brown is more my color”
you do suit brown quite a bit- but the purple is very striking! goes nicely with your new eyes, i think!
and the theater mask- oh my GOSH its so fun!! how'd you get it? did it come broken or did you strategically break it yourself? so much detail!!
“I found it…turns out theres more in the crypt than just red and black outfits! It’s actually pretty cool, no wonder you guys are so stylish”
oh yeah!! i remember when i got to go through the crypt for the first time- scott had a lot of very stylish ancestors!!
“Well y’know I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Scott does have very good taste, all of you do actually”
awwe, thanks :D
but! the cool clothes were not why i had walked up: i have a mission this party. you are sort of one of the only people that at least endulges my belief in it, so i'm asking your help!
do you think anyone here knows where bigfoot is? theres a lot of new people here, and i've been meaning to ask them all- but there's so many!!
Drift laughs softly, smiling at Shelby before responding. “I can certainly try and help you find out, if that makes any difference”
that would help a lot, yes!!
they really haven't smiled this wide in a while. it feels... refreshing.
i have a few suspects- but there's so many new people i can't get a grip on! do you have any ideas on who to ask?
“Have you tried asking the bat? The one flying around with the microphone…they might know a thing or two” She suggests, smiling back.
OHHH THE BAT!! i love the bat- the little camera crew, the cursed microphone- its all so cool!! that would be a good place to start-
she pauses.
but i got sidetracked! i came here to talk to you!! how are you feeling today- oh! has anyone danced with you yet?
“Oh, I’m good, really good actually, this is so fun!” Drift exclaims, her grin widening with excitement. “And I mean sort of…unless this is your way of asking me for a dance”
well i mean... if you wanted to- i'm not really the most formal of dancers, but i can keep a beat! it'll be fun!!
“Well I never said I could dance either, silly”
stepping up to her a bit closer, shelby holds out a hand.
we can figure it out easier together- i've watched scott do an amount of dancing, it can't be that hard- right?
“Eh you’d be surprised, but having fun is what matters isn’t it?”
Drift responds, accepting the offered hand with a smile.
they nod fiercely before clumsily attempting to sweep her off to the dance floor. a mimicry of the moves scott would pull in the empty ballroom- swaying with someone invisible. it was weirder to figure out in the moment than they thought it would be- so they just stepped side to side.
daringly, they even threw in a surprise turn!
Drift gasps, a shocked little noise at the turn before laughing as she leans into Shelby. The detective placing a hand on the other vampires shoulder as they dance.
shelby laughs in turn, trying to follow a pattern of steps it seems she is actively making up. they speed up and slow down at random, truly just trying to keep their steps lined up and rhythmic enough to constitute dancing.
it is the happiest she's been in a while.
Drift’s smile softens, following Shelbys steps before they both finally match up enough to call this a dance…as uncoordinated as it is. She’s having fun, and she’s glad Shelby is as well.
after a solid while, she slows down the speed a bit. they're a bit out of breath when they speak.
this is- wow. this... this is nice. kinda sucks this is only for the night.
“We could still dance anyways…after tonight that is”
Drift offers, she wouldn’t mind hanging out with Shelby more often.
their eyebrows raise.
...it'll be a little harder to with all the chaos going on- but i'd like that. its a nice break from everything :]
“Well…I mean it’s not all that chaotic right now at least”
Drift supplies, looking to the side.
looking out across the ballroom, its easy to believe her.
might as well make the most of it!
they try to sweep drift into another turn!
Drift laughs, turning easily before dragging the other into a twirl. This really is fun, she hates it to end soon.
they laugh brightly, the twirl making their dress flare out nicely.
i mean it, by the way. dancing after today ends- or any fun little thing, really. there’s not a lot i can be sure of right now, but i know that i trust you. and it would be nice to have a nice thing when everything is back to weird again.
Drift smiles widely, pulling them back into her chest and hugging the other close while they dance.
“Well…It doesn’t have to be dancing…we’re basically roommates now so it could be anything we want to do”
shelby smiles in turn.
fair enough- oh!! i could help you decorate later, if you want? im mostly done with my room- we could even match a little, if you want!!

SCOTT!!!
shelby raced through the room to scott as he entered, spotting the frills from a mile away.
oh my goodness, you look amazing!! that dress is beautiful- so much detail!! where were you hiding this?
they take in all of the details excitedly- his outfit truly is a sight to behold.
@v-shelbyshubble-v
Scott giggled as Shelby ran over so excited in her own pretty dress, smiling widely at her at the compliment. Doing a little spin to show off.
"Hehe, in my special secret closet where you fledglings can't get to it!" He teased, bopping her nose. "But look at you! You're glowing!"
they giggle, doing a spin of their own.
thank you!! today has honestly been the best day in a while!! i feel really good, i got to dance some, and i might've even caught a bigfoot thread!! how's your night been?

Drift responds, accepting the offered hand with a smile.
they nod fiercely before clumsily attempting to sweep her off to the dance floor. a mimicry of the moves scott would pull in the empty ballroom- swaying with someone invisible. it was weirder to figure out in the moment than they thought it would be- so they just stepped side to side.
daringly, they even threw in a surprise turn!
Drift gasps, a shocked little noise at the turn before laughing as she leans into Shelby. The detective placing a hand on the other vampires shoulder as they dance.
shelby laughs in turn, trying to follow a pattern of steps it seems she is actively making up. they speed up and slow down at random, truly just trying to keep their steps lined up and rhythmic enough to constitute dancing.
it is the happiest she's been in a while.
Drift’s smile softens, following Shelbys steps before they both finally match up enough to call this a dance…as uncoordinated as it is. She’s having fun, and she’s glad Shelby is as well.
after a solid while, she slows down the speed a bit. they're a bit out of breath when they speak.
this is- wow. this... this is nice. kinda sucks this is only for the night.
“We could still dance anyways…after tonight that is”
Drift offers, she wouldn’t mind hanging out with Shelby more often.
their eyebrows raise.
...it'll be a little harder to with all the chaos going on- but i'd like that. its a nice break from everything :]
“Well…I mean it’s not all that chaotic right now at least”
Drift supplies, looking to the side.
looking out across the ballroom, its easy to believe her.
might as well make the most of it!
they try to sweep drift into another turn!
