v!Scott in a dress

Like. Recognizing that Avid was grieving. Grieving even more than we knew at the time, because Avid was also probably grieving Elle all over again (and/or for the first time, considering that Oakhurst apparently happened literally days after he killed her) along with his overarching grief and fear about turning into some kind of monster, and having lost (what he thought was) his only chance at curing himself. Bro is not in a good place.

Which Legundo sees, at least to some extent. Legs is a guy who has seen a lot apparently, in terms of people going through The Worst Possible Things and coping with it in whatever broken, flailing ways humans tend to cope. Anger, lashing out, violence, terror, weeping -- those are all things with which Dr. Legundo apparently has a lot of experience.

So for him to see Avid going at Shelby's house so violently that he set himself on fire for a moment, and to immediately process what has happened and what is going on in Avid's head... Yeah. Legundo clearly has talked people off of ledges before.

Genuinely: I can't stop thinking about the fact that Avid set himself on fire. He's wounded here. Legundo is pulling him back from the flames and probably checking to see how bad the burns are and trying to remember if he's got burn cream back in his storage and Avid is still staring at the fire with the flint hanging loose in his hand. He's weeping, you can hear it.

"I can't have you grieving right now," Legundo says -- not that grieving is bad, or that it doesn't have its place, but that we're in a war zone and grief can get us all killed. "I need what you know."

And not only does he pull Avid back from the precipice, but he immediately turns it into a distracting task. "I need what you know." Snap out of it. You are valuable to this situation, you can't hurt yourself like this, I need you to redirect and put that energy into winning this fight instead of destroying things and yourself.

V!Avid was a horrible person. I’ve talked about that a lot I don’t wanna repeat it lmfao

but also, they were more of narrative foils than Avid and Owen.

They were both paranoid, haunted by their past (and their victims) and yet hopeful that Oakhurst could be a new start.

Avid’s paranoia was loud, blaring. He was sowing discourse before the first night even passed, yelling about vampires and silver. Pyro’s paranoia was quiet, he was reserved. Didn’t make himself noticed. Both Avid and Pyro needed attention, but Avid actively drew it while Pyro simply hoped.

They both fell under Scott’s grip, of course, they both fell to Scott’s manipulation. The difference is that SCOTT decided who his favorite one was, and was not shy about hiding it.

Avid was going down a dark path. He arrived at Oakhurst paranoid, ostracizing anyone he viewed as “other”, and said if he was turned into a vampire he’d never side with them. Episode 6 FLIPPED THAT ON IT’S HEAD. He was suddenly willing, EXCITED even, to burn Oakhurst down.

By Ep 6, both Pyro and Avid hated the residents of Oakhurst. By Episode 7, Pyro hated Avid more than he hated the residents of Oakhurst.

it might be 5 1/2 hours but every moment is PURE FUCKING GOLD.

you've got the sire daddy song. yeah that was fun. he licks batteries. he forgets his own songs. he gets yelled at by his mods. he still cant say yaoi correctly. he and legs argued over which of their bfs was better. he explained shood to the chat. he and legs then had this bit where they were the only two left in the world and avid offered to repopulate the western united states and legs said "we can try" and avid proceeded to hide in a corner because he wasnt expecting to be one upped. and then scott said some not pg things that made avid literally GET UP AND LEAVE HIS DESK.

this entire stream was so good i cant.

I dont know why everyone is so upset, V!Avid just went to Skyblock Kingdoms to be with his other boyfriend, Viking!! Nothing bad ever happened to him!!

Have some Yaoi for day 41 of Daily Vikingpilot!! These two are so so silly <33 Vivid numero uno <3
