LONEVAMPS

Hate ship. Classic but still beautiful and true

The parallels….. the mania bouncing between them….

they’re parallels your honor!! owen sees himself in avid and despises it, avid has to face his own issues in the shape of someone else. they’ve been butting heads since literally the beginning of the series and started out with polar opposite views, and while avid threw himself wholeheartedly into his new circumstances, owen kept clinging to the past.

I also have a post about them. Momma bear Owen is my favorite version/interpretation of him cuz he does care, all the pieces are there. Let him be protective and tsundere about it :3

AWAWAWA AVOWEN MY BELOVED. BEST SHIP OUT THERE. EVERYONE FREAKED OUT ABOUT “2799 people” BUT NO ONE TALKS SBOUT “Oakhursts soil will be enriched with YOUR BLOOD, Avid, but not before you see everyone you know from Oakhurst DIE.” OWEN WAS STAKING CLAIM. HE WAS STAKIBG CLAIM OVER AVID BASICALLY SAYING “You are MINE. You can’t die unless I kill you” And what do you mean Owen was the one to hold the stake but not hammer it in?? That’s kinda gay not gonna lie- They’re two sides of the same coin, essentially the same backstory except swapped!!! “You’re just a kid” BROKE ME. Owen understood his pain, and the fact that he only killed Avid because he ‘didn’t like him’? It’s cause he saw himself in Avid, saw himself in the weak fledgling, saw the part he hated about himself!! AND Avid siphoned off Owen in patreon!!!

GUYS GUYS HEAR ME OUT GUYS PUT DOWN THE PITCHFORKS: narrative foils. The drama. The intrigue!! Especially in AUs where Owen mentored Avid as he became a vampire…. It delights the senses

They're foils, they're enemies, they hate each other, they mirror each other. Owen would invent new stages of grief once he realises he has feelings for Avid. Avid is desperate for Owen's approval once he's part of the coven, secretly hoping that he'll manage to somehow bury the animosity and actually get close to him. That somehow he can make this work. Owen killing the person he's fallen for because it should've been Louis and no one else. When he drives the stake in, it's the closest they've ever been

Please look at @/onebizarrekai on tumblr. Thanks. That's it! That's all. They convinced me of this. They didn't tell me to say these things but I will.

THEY LWK COULD'VE BEEN SO GOOD TOGETHER IF THEY WEREN'T AT EACH OTHERS THROATS, AND THEY'RE CRAZY CHARACTER FOILS OF EACH OTHER BUT THEY WERE TOO TRAPPED IN THEIR SELF-LOATHING TO NOTICE AND THEY HONESTLY HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL TOGETHER TO WORK THROUGH THEIR ISSUES ANDEKUYVGKAERYUGAREG DOES ANY OF THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE?? IDK BUT THEY'RE AWESOME I LOVE THEM

they're narrative foils !!! what more can i say?

"not until you see everyone you know from oakhurst DIE" "kiss him avid he won't know what to do" we were the OG toxic yaoi. in my heart avowen is not even a rarepair because of this. unfortunately the quantity of Scott Induced Ships disagrees.

HUSBATS

This is only in my head, in which Scott knew Louis as a fledgeling and so Owen uses him as a fucked up 'closest thing to what's left of louis' consolation prize. Scott is fully aware, but he doesn't care about it much (apathy is one hell of a thing) and kinda just goes along with it for the sake of keeping Owen loyal.

Being evil together/co parenting the fledglings is such a vibe, also ✨I present you✨ all the fanfics where Scott fledgling adopts Owen

old married couple, implicit understanding of each other, and they totally make each other worse
