Edit of v!abolish cuz he’s veylocking in

Okay so this interaction between Cleo and Legs in Episode 2 has been stuck in my mind ever since watching Cleo’s POV because of one line from Legs:

“Cleo, I might be educated but please do not mistake me for one who came from wealth.”

This line is never expanded upon but it reveals quite a bit about Doc’s life, and I feel like it gets overlooked when thinking about his backstory.

This explains a lot about his hatred of Scott and gives him another thing in common with Owen (as if he needed any more narrative parallels with that man). It gives some thought into how much choice he had in the things he did as a soldier. Perhaps the fact that he had to work that extra bit harder to get a good education explains why he was so angry at Avid for trying to practice vampire medicine.

Now we don’t actually know how much wealth this actually means- whether he’s saying he’s not Scott or (supposedly) Martyn levels of rich, or whether he lived in absolute poverty. I do kinda doubt he was as hard-done-by as Owen or Cleo (a good education is still a privilege no matter how you spin it). I like the idea of him having to rely on scholarships and bursaries while also having to work other odd jobs to put himself through med school. Tired, overworked characters my beloved. (Food for the college AUs).

I just think it’s interesting because it’s the only bit of lore we learn about his life before the military or getting his medical degree (whichever you think came first).

i dabble in the editing from time to time... here to feed the czelsaw enjoyers >:)

all the art is by @grim-leafer !!!!!!!!

While watching the footage from Scott, Pyro & Owen's episode 5 videos I happened to notice that each of them edited out different parts of their conversation about "recruiting" new vampires, which compelled me to piece them together as best I could.

I know it's a relatively minor scene, so idk if anyone else will be interested in seeing an as-complete-as-possible version of it, but working on it was good practice!

I also have some Thoughts about Pyro's reactions here and what they signal about his uneasy relationship with the two elder vampires. So, if you're interested you can find them below the cut.

forced myself to learn davinci resolve finally. thank you bloodletting

• She doesn’t sleep by Anthony Amorim - could be from perspective of the humans about the vampires and especially Scott
