VAMPIRES SMP!!!!!!!

VSMP. vapris. vampires. has made me rememeber how much I Love Minecraft Storytelling.

The production in this series is actually insane like. THE CINEMATICS?? ANIMATICS???? CHARCACTER ANIMATIONS?? ORIGINAL SONGS??? the amount of care and love put into the series is so easy to see and it makes watching it even more fun. Like if someone commisioned an animation for their character, they really love them. and it makes it even more joyful to watch.

THE EDITING ACROSS DIFFERENT POVS is so peak as well and they really let you see through the characters eyes. Watching avid pov and it feels like you're watching a horror movie and then you watch scott pov and its so like. lighthearted and fine WHICH IS SO COOL AND MIRRORS HOW THE CHARCETRS SEE THINGS. watching something in scott pov versus pyro or apo pov especially IS SO. URGRH. ITS SO SCARY FROM THEIR SIDE and so inconsequential from his which makes it even more unsettling. Everyone is also such horribly unreliable narrators its so good YOU REALLY NEED TO WATCH MULTIPLE POVS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THE SERIES

If you're reading this and haven't watched for some reason. WATCH IT PLEASE ITS SO WORTH IT!!!! AVID AND OWEN POV ARE VERY GOOD PLACES TO START their characters mirror eachother very well, give you a good view into what's happening on the vamp and town side of things. and are also just incredible. my favourite characters are actually pyro and apo though. as will probably become evident as you scroll down this page.

This series has meant. so much to me. From the moment I started avid pov and saw an original song and animatic I WAS IMMEDIATELY HOOKED. IT WAS OVER FOREVER FROM THE START.I say this Everytime but i don't think I've had a hyperfixation this big in. A While. I also think that might be to do with not wonderful things happening irl. um well fuck it this is my webpage. my dad passed recently so its been very difficult and VSMP HAS BEEN MY MAIN SOURCE OF JOY THOUGH THAT. no thoughts only vsmp.

As a. Very Big vpyro enjoyer (ERM PROBABLY EVIDENT BY THE RAMBLE BELOW) these. animations. are actually everything ever to me its so over forever. the mcyt prisoner also made a banger owen one too which is. SO. im fine

ALSO THIS OWEN ANIMATION which is on tumblr. normal over it

GO MY VERY LONG V!PYRO RAMBLE!!!

(its not. done. and i will probably change my mind on everything ever later but i just needed to write about them. because i like. them. a little bit. just a little!!!)

The guy has spent his entire life being pushed around, bullied, seen as pathetic, as lesser. he arrives in oakhearst and just as he starts to make friends (probably for the first time ever.) he's turned. He doesn't know anyone in town, not really, and nobody even believes vampires are real at this point. SO OF COURSE when hes starving and scared he turns to scott. WHICH HE FULLY TAKES ADVANTAGE OF!!!! pyro is afraid and immediately fawns over scott, the man who killed him, in an effort to stay alive.

Over time, like many of the vampires, he begins to become more monsterous. Vampirism for pyro is power, control over their own life that they've never had before and he spends a lot of time fighting with this, scared that he's becoming the beast they always said he was. Scott tells him what to do and he listens, (its better than listening to himself. thinking about what hes done).

He also spends a lot of his earlier episodes constantly seeking out scotts approval. Alot of this as i said earlier is him fawning so he doesn't. die.(a thing v!scott himself acknowledges in episode 7). But also, he's never had a community before, has never made anyone proud before. Pyro's own family called him a monster and cast him out, whereas scott Actually turned him into a one but gave him a family instead.

All of this is just my character interpretation but I also think sire-fledgling bonds have a lot to do with this too. And because Scott is so old, so powerful it gives him a lot more control over pyro than say, pyro a week old fledgling, would have over shelby. This kind of fits into the patterns some of the other fledglings have fallen into too. So yeah. being first turned, not knowing anything about vampires or what to do, and having the little bat in the rafters of his brain telling him he should look up to scott, respect him, he'll keep him safe. (you know, the guy who just drowned him) was. a lot.

When the townsfolk discover vampires, they immediately write pyro off as too far gone, unsavable, which pushes him even more onto castles side. He does a lot of. what I heard called "permformative evilism" once WHICH IS VERY ACCURATE. he has. a lot of bravado which he tries and fails to use to mask his fear. He acts differently depending on who's around him, on their perception of him. especially if scott is there. constantly flip-flopping between wanting and not wanting a cure. I really liked when he was planting wither roses around town 'penning them in like livestock' or whatever (very much repeating all the stuff scott has been saying) and when abolish sees him. he says "don't worry, i'm not going to hurt you" COMPLETELY SEEING THROUGH HIM. urgrh

So yeah. PYRO IS SCARED. FULL OF FEAR AT ALL TIMES (also going off v!pyros own theory that vampirism almost amplifies the last emotions of a persons life. um probably also makes this a contributing factor) he's constantly spiraling, paranoid of being watched yet scared of being alone. Of his own thoughts of what he's become.

And you know what. maybe his paranoia wasn't unfounded BECAUSE THE ONE TIME he does reach for a way out, a cure. BOTH OWEN AND SCOTT WERE WATCHING HIM. leading to scott cornering him, tightening his control over him.

i call this. the healthy relationship smp because everyone is Normal

Despite being the first turned, as more vampires join their ranks, pyro is still seen as lesser compared to then. he's laughed at by both humans and vampires who call him weak and pathetic (words he's been called ALL HIS LIFE) And at this point i think he starts to lose his barely existent patience a little. after all if vampirsm supposedly gave him power, why is he still at the bottom of the food chain?

When avid turns he reminds pyro so much of himself. eager to be useful, sucking up to scott and owen, the bloodlust, seen as a liability (pathetic, a weak link). SO PYRO KILLS HIM!!!!!!! HE KILLS THE PART OF HIMSELF HE HATES, THAT HE SEES AS WEAK AND BECOMES THE BEAST THEY ALL SAID HE WAS. Avid is also one of the main ones who is constantly taking jabs at them. both before and after his turning WHICH YOU KNOW. PROBABLY ALSO DIDNT HELP HIS CASE. pyro has been trying so hard to be useful to the coven, and yet avid is accepted by scott so easily. He's been treated horribly and is lashing out with his new power to make people feel as small as he does.

Pyro says he murdered czeslaw. but pyro is also a Very Unreliable narrator at the best of times (and this is the worst of times) and so I dont think it was as intentional as he's trying to convince himself. I mean, it could of been in the moment, maybe it was self-defence (maybe he didn't even do it all.) Episode 7 pyro is trying so hard to beleive that being a beast is always what he was. He killed before, of course he'll do it again. This isn't him changing, he already crossed that line!!

If they're never going to believe him, then why even bother trying to prove them wrong.

THE SWITCH FROM SIRE TO GOLDSMITH. he's trying to distance himself from being scotts fledgling, stand on his own, trying to claw back autonomy and power for himself, out of the position that he inadvertently put himself in WHEN HE JUMPS ON THE LOG TO MAKE HIMSELF TALLER THAN SCOTT. urgh. He wanted to prove he could fucking do it. and that he did.

But as always underneath all the bravado he is. so very scared. AND UM. HONESTLY YEAH MAYBE HE SHOULD BE im sure ill rewrite this when 8 is out but. most people hate him. Throughout that episode, he's very much putting on a brave face, desperately trying to bury his humanity (“just swing, dont think about it). He knows scott is upset, has talked before about how he microanalyses his facial expressions. BUT I REALLY. I dont know how he's going to get out of this one.

I have no idea if this is coherent also this is for me ill probably change it all later i have so much more i could say. his relationship with shelby. and apo. his whole thing with water. his constant. self-dehumanisation of himself. MY HORRIBLE HORRIBLE COVEN I BARELY MENTIONED IT ALL i didnt even write about how weird he is i need to emptahsise this more. adding to this. later.
