the entire town finds out the beacons don't do anything when Abolish accidentally wanders through the town borders and then goes back to report it's all a hoax

this happens BEFORE Avid dies so everyone is still alive at this point and the current vampires are: Scott, Owen, Shelby, Pyro, Drift, Avid, Sausage, Apo, Cleo

Pyro, Owen, Scott, and Avid (deemed the biggest vampire threats) are held at silver and stake point (Abolish, who else?) to ensure they will change

Legs volunteers to take Owen, Scott swears on his word (Abolish scares him), Avid follows with Scott, and Pyro refuses so Abolish basically cuffs him and they get back to Abolish's timeline, where Pyro is kept in Abolish's house until he basically loses all steam and starts doing therapy with Abolish to help with their trauma

Legs and Owen are a traveling doctor duo because Owen is slowly healing and doesn't want anyone to hurt like he did, and Legs is accepting that he doesn't deserve to die because there are shades of gray in everyone

they confess/get together after about 3 months of traveling together

it's roughly the late 90s (Legs got to Oakhurst circa 1970s in his timeline, making the war he fought WWII and it being 20 years since Oakhurst is its own completely separate timeline) so Owen is getting used to it NOT being Great Britain in the 14-1500s and instead the US almost 500 years later (so far he thinks it's severely consumeristic and slightly unnecessary in certain capacities but he enjoys it somewhat)

both struggle (it's been over 20 years since Legs has been in the US and modern medicine has changed significantly) but eventually do enough to keep them afloat and moving

NY group have the same timeline as Legs and Owen, but they end up spending the first 20 years all in Europe and some of Asia learning about different things and just enjoying being able to live forever

by about 2006 Avid and Scott have been dating for 9 years and since neither of them really understood engagement they only got engaged about 6 months before we see the snippet of them in 2006

Shelby and Drift are tentatively flirting (it's painful for Scott and Avid to watch even though they DID THE EXACT SAME THING) but by 2010 will be dating

Pyro finally comes to visit NY in around 2009 and is more reformed because of therapy and meds but is still staying with Abolish and just decided to see how everyone was this trip

Apo went back to her timeline, lived a happy life with Cherri (Odysseus and Penelope fr) until about the early 1600s (roughly 40 years after Apo returns, both are in their 20s-30s when they come back) when they commit a Romeo and Juliet, yuri style

Abolish has a weird accident at the agency (someone else's fault, not his) and he still becomes the weird immortal, half-vamp thing (and does a LOT of paperwork)

he likes this new reformed Pyro (Firelocke enjoyers come get yo juice) and they bond a lot while Abolish helps him

Sausage publishes his book, makes a lot of money, and dies at 44 of unknown causes

Martyn and Ren never get together (so they say) but by about 1809 (Martyn's timeline) they are both very old and die within a week of each other

they never lifted Ren's curse but Martyn found it endearing, so he doesn't care

Cleo and Pearl stay in Oakhurst. eventually Pearl gets turned and they become residents/keepers of Oakhurst in their own timeline, which ensures the end of the 200 year massacre curse

anyways back to Bloodletting

by about 2010 (they haven't been to NY yet, it's too painful atm), Legs is in his 70s, Owen looks 25, and they get weird looks on the subways

Legs agrees to be turned after a minor moral dilemma because he's (privately) worried that leaving Owen (like Louis) will cause him to relapse and commit another massacre

Owen absolutely loves getting to turn Legs, although right before he has a panic attack because it reminds him of Louis

after Legs first gets turned, he goes back to roughly his 20s - 30s war-Legs era and Owen is so head over heels

So I'm assuming V!Shelby has needed glasses majority of her life.

Soooooo

After shelby no longer needed her glasses from turning she would find herself reaching up to push up her glasses on instinct. This is something she continues to do for a while and even after a few years getting used to not needing the glasses she sometimes will slip into the habit. Drift and Scott laugh at her for it sometimes. <- (based off experience, just minus the never needing glasses again part)

Or when she wakes up she goes to grab her glasses off her night stand to find them missing. Drift has woken up on multiple occasions to her gf asking her where he glasses were. Because despite the fact that vampires dont need to sleep Shelby and Drift enjoy to sleep sometimes.

And on one occasion scott came home to a drunk Shelby and Drift searching the house for her glasses. He still brings it up whenever they have a glass of wine.

Now, the reason we see her with glasses in 2006 post oakhurst is because glasses are more instyle now and because she prefers her appearance with the glasses.

Depending on how strong her lenses were assuming they were strong, and how aware of her appearance she was the next time she looks in a mirror that isnt silver she'll surely notice that her eyes seem ever so slightly smaller. <- also based off experience of noticing how my eyes think drastically when I removed my glasses.

V!Shelby doodles!!

and she calls herself 'worse than a monster' after this all . Worse than pyro and owen and even Worse than scott (even if she sees no wrong in scott) just for giving them what (imo) was their due . Pyro and Owen killed her fledgeling, and (like scott said) Pyro got what was coming to him . she seemed so Set on having to be a vampire and all of the immoral things that came with that (+ the beacons situation) after but as soon as she did anything acting upon that and her emotions she sees what she did as irredeemable. i dont really know where i am going with this .i just think its so interesting how much shelby's perception of people around her (specifically pyro and owen) and herself fell apart when Avid died.
