[dragonbma]

Trick or treat

(I'm adding more glitter to the pile, screw you /j)

Y’all are ruthless today-

Happy Halloween from the world’s deadliest brita filter! ^^ 🌊

#ignore that the costume still isn’t technically finished #mcsm #minecraft story mode #mcsm vos #bermuda brainrot hours #bermuda replies #vostober

[dragonbma]

Why don’t we ever hear “Vos” sneeze? Was Romeo afraid he’d give himself away? Coward. He knew it’d be over instantly if he sneezed.

I bet they both have goofy ahh sneezes but in completely different ways. And Jack would be so taken aback by his friend suddenly NOT having the iconic sneeze he remembers. “Buddy… you feeling alright?”

#ik we don’t hear any characters sneeze i was just thinking about this today #mcsm #minecraft story mode #mcsm vos #mcsm romeo #mcsm jack #bermuda brainrot hours #bermuda ramblings #vostober

[dragonbma]

OOGILY BOOGILY!!!!!! JUMPSCARE FOR OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been saving this ask…

I can’t be the only one who thinks Romeo’s Halloween costume would be one of the forms he takes in game, right??

#jack getting extra ptsd with this one- #mcsm #minecraft story mode #mcsm romeo #mcsm jack #bermuda brainrot hours #bermuda replies #vostober

It’s cold as hell in this box-

giving your AU a kiss on the head, then promptly strangling Vos (pls use this to infodump whatever you want)

First of all, bless you. Second, I figured I should finally get this out of the way so enjoy this headcanon-turned- AU-canon dump:

TLDR: Vos developed photophobia from being in the Sea Temple for so long + Jack has tinnitus.

Vos Possession AU Infodump time:

Pre- Sea Temple adventure, Vos would usually wear his hood down or back. This was mainly to keep the hood from blocking his field of view on any side, keeping him alert and aware on adventures. His goggles would either rest on the top of his head or be worn around his neck. Post- Sea Temple, that changed to him using his hood to shield the sun (and most lights) from his eyes. After being in the obsidian cage for so long, Vos’ eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness and became painfully sensitive to light when he was finally released. (They look similarly to how the Fred’s Keep residents’ eyes look. I also headcanon them as having mild photophobia, only severe when the sun is out.) It takes a bit of getting used to, but Jack is there to calm him down initially.

—For anyone unfamiliar, photophobia is an extreme sensitivity to light. One of its causes is no exposure to natural sunlight; for example, being in a dark, cramped box for a decade. Vos’ photophobia starts out very severe with even the poorly lit Sea Temple appearing too bright. However, his vision slowly readjusts to where only going out in direct sunlight hurts his eyes.

—Side Note: When Romeo is possessing Vos, his irises shift to a darker shade of blue (which isn’t very noticeable when his hood is up.) He also alters Vos’ vision whenever he is in control to remedy constantly being blinded.

—Fun headcanon: I like to think Vos naps/sleeps by sliding his hood and goggles over his eyes. ^^

Bonus: Thanks to being in the obsidian cage for so long, Vos is mildly claustrophobic, being around obsidian makes him uneasy, and he gets nervous talking to people (after his only interaction in the past decade was with an angry god.)

—Wall of the Builder? No thank you. Nether portals? I’m not going anywhere near those. Despite knowing the Nether is the only place to get blaze rods (for his brewing), he opts to stay away from the portals. This only furthers his friendship with Ivor who offers him all the blaze rods he needs and even lets him use his brewing stands.

—Ivor is going to have a blast trying to describe the Witherstorm fiasco to Vos-

—His old enchanting table has even started to look familiar…

I can’t be the only one who sees a crumb of resemblance if you take the book away- anyways onto Jack:

Along with the PTSD we see him struggle with in game, Jack also gets tinnitus from the Sea Temple. It starts immediately following the combined laser blasts from the elder guardians that kill Sammy (which was incredibly loud,) and worsens after hearing the cage crash down on his friend. It reaches a peak when the elder guardians turn their lasers towards him while he flees the guardian room. When he finally gets back to the island where the trio stashed their stuff, the ringing starts to die down.

—His tinnitus is neurological and pretty minor unless he’s extremely stressed or thinking about the failed adventure. Normally, his tinnitus presents itself as a low ringing noise when everything is quiet, but it can suddenly raise in pitch or volume if say… some stranger came into your shop with a gauntlet similar to one you had that unlocked a deep sea deathtrap of a Brita filter that killed two of your best friends. Hypothetically of course.

—Jack is. the. friend. ever. He helps Vos get accustomed to Beacontown, offers him a room in the emporium attic, and introduces his friend to any residents with similar interests. Jack also takes immediate notice to how Vos looks at his old enchantment table and is quick to swap out its red banners with lapis blue ones.

[Tysm for the AU ask! Fun fact: I could not read the ask without envisioning Wheatley giving Vos a kiss on the hood before grabbing him by the scruff of the neck- and it made me chortle every time.]

“Can you say you’re not the Admin? Just say you’re not the Admin…”

Happy Sea Temple Saturday right after Friday the 13th! I think someone is having a hard time fighting god out of his body-

#mcsm #minecraft story mode #mcsm vos #mcsm au #vos possession au #bermuda brainrot hours #scriptscratches #sea temple saturday #vostober #fight him vos i know you can do it #might finalize later but this has been rotating around in my brain for a while

[dragonbma]

I feel bad for waiting so long to add to these scriptscratches again so I’m just going to infodump on all four topics right now: (Vos Possession AU additions)

Moving into the Emporium:

During episodes one & two: Vos isn’t in control of himself when he enters Beacontown for the first time after returning from the Sea Temple. Romeo is ecstatic to explore this new location through Vos’ eyes, but doesn’t talk to too many residents. Instead, knowing that the Colossus is on its way, ‘Vos’ opts to take a nap in the emporium since Jack offered him a room. Vos doesn’t argue with Romeo on this one because it’s been a decade since he’s had a good rest and promptly passes out on the floor before Jack can bring him a sleeping bag. (Also, although Vos can hear Romeo’s thoughts too, he has no idea the Colossus is approaching.) Romeo splits from Vos to focus all his energy into being the Colossus. Later after a part of the shop gets wrecked, Vos wakes up in a panic and realizes he is in control of himself. Rushing out of the emporium mid-fight, he sees Jesse, Petra, Lukas, and Jack fighting the Colossus. Romeo is has to re-possess him before he can make it to Jack so he doesn’t ruin anything.

Post- episode five: Vos lives in the attic of the emporium and he and Jack have friendship lanterns. They like to activate the lanterns at the randomest points at night to wake the other one up. (more on that below)

Romeo’s Reparations:

Unlike in game where Petra argues to leave Romeo in the Terminal Zone, she instead is the more sympathetic one. Jack in turn wants to leave him there, abandoning Romeo as Romeo once abandoned so many. He didn’t get to see the cabin or the journal that Jesse and Petra found; all he knows is Romeo’s crimes against the previous admins, the people of the Underneath, and especially his friends. Because of this, Petra has to convince Jack to give him a second chance when they all return to Beacontown. Vos has mixed feelings. He wants to forgive Romeo, but is pretty wary after everything he went through so he opts to avoid the ex-admin whenever possible. (He sometimes freezes up in panic when Romeo is around.)

Jack asks Romeo about what became of the Sea Temple, but Romeo assures him that with his admin powers removed, the temple would be dormant and the entities within/around would vanish. Jack doesn’t seem convinced so Romeo offers to go himself to check. His theory was correct. The temple is essentially dead save for one peculiar oddity…

When Romeo returns from the temple, he has a gift: two linked sea lanterns. They remain dim until one is touched and both light up. (Like how friendship lanterns work.) “How is that even possible?” “Not sure really… I found them in the rubble. I figured I’d bring one back in case you wanted it, but when I picked it up, the other one lit up too. My guess is they must still be linked from being a part of the puzzle door.” (Since the door would only open if mirrored, each block got enchanted with its mirrored block to recognize the other. Does this make sense? Idk.) Jack finds this sufficient to mostly forgive Romeo and gives him props for working to make amends. ^ This scene is also fun because Jack had the initial conversation with Romeo without Vos’ knowledge as not to make his friend anxious. So when Romeo knocks on the emporium doors to deliver the lanterns, Vos accidentally opens the door and just stares for a minute before asking Nurm to get Jack. Jack of course explains the whole thing and Vos ends up forgiving Romeo, even giving him a hug.

Romeo patches a few things up in Beacontown before heading to the Underneath to try and make amends with Xara. (The people of the Underneath now live on the surface, but Xara stayed behind.)

Character Interactions:

Vos is socially anxious after having no one but himself to talk to for a decade. (During the first trip to Beacontown, Romeo hides this very well with his eager demeanor. Vos is honestly somewhat relieved to not be the one conversating.) Jack is quick to notice this and does his best to help his friend meet the residents of Beacontown. The people of Bad Luck Alley would probably find Vos interesting since he was an old friend of Jack.

Ivor is the first resident Jack introduces Vos to. After the events of season two, Jack is eager to show Vos around town and jumps at the chance to have his friend meet his idol. (Especially since Ivor settles back down in Beacontown after being a ninja.) The two are quick friends and Ivor is happy there is another alchemist in town. He also gets to explain to Vos what the Witherstorm was so that’s fun. Can’t imagine how that conversation would go. Turns out the two actually have a lot in common. (Plus, they both look old enough to remember Nether reactor cores /j)

For some reason, I feel like Nell tends to notice new arrivals in Beacontown and helps to assure them that the place is a chill area. She probably confides in Vos that she felt overwhelmed when first moving to Beacontown too, and offers to show him around. “Don’t be a stranger, okay?” The two likely have an interesting conversation after everything is over with and repairs are being made to the town.

What if Radar mentions how Jesse helped with Stampy and Stacy’s dessert booth and ‘Vos’ perks up? After eating nothing but pork chops for years, he is eager to have anything else so Jack buys him a whole cake which he attempts to eat in one sitting. /j unless…

Lluna! I already had a whole post dedicated to her so here’s that! Still haven’t decided what the adventure would be though…

New Adventures:

With his old friend back in his life, Jack is once again inspired to go adventuring again. He and Nurm usually just went exploring to map new locations and it’s been a while since he went on a real adventure. Petra still wants to take a break from Beacontown and find her life on the road so they head off together. Jack is eager to share some of his favorite locations. Jack asks Vos and Nurm to join to which Vos happily joins and Nurm instead stays behind to tend to the shop and Archie. (They return after a week or two for reasons to be added.)

Possible adventuring locations during their trip: swamp (I have a fun idea in mind with this one), woodland mansion, maybe a place Petra mentions from the displays in the emporium-

I can’t wait for them to find a pillager outpost. Jack and Petra go to take out the guards while Vos snoops around… and stumbles upon an allay locked up nearby. Seeing himself in the new mob, he frees it from the cage immediately. Not realizing how they work, he gives it a torch and just assumes it’s following him because he saved it. Vos names the allay “Callou” because obvious pun. Now whenever the trio hear about outposts, they make it a game to disrupt them. Jack and Petra take turns baiting the guards (like walking up and striking up conversations or just outright teasing the pillagers) while the other hides nearby to take them out. Vos checks for any allays or golems nearby and rescues them.

Lush cave. Lush cave. Lush cave. What more do I have to say?

(If you all have any Qs or just want me to elaborate on anything, feel free to ask!)

Some character exploration and headcanons as I write the Vos Possession AU:

Adventure trio my beloveds… [similarly to my last infodump, these are headcanons for the game, but are all canon in my AU]

// Jack: team leader //

weapon: sword 🗡️ (alternatively fists)

very headstrong and sometimes gets too caught up in the moment to realize something is happening

has a perfect sense of direction, survival instincts, and tracking capabilities

—Extras:

-Sea Temple leaves him with tinnitus, PTSD, and a partially blinded left eye

-used to wear more red apparel (where he got the nickname Velvet Tornado) but has since switched to colors that reflect his fallen friends (Vos- blue, Sammy- beige)

// Vos: enchanter / healer //

weapon: potions 🧪

inventory management (often overpacks for adventures just in case)

can enchant items without an enchantment table, only needs the lapis (knows all enchants by heart and can read/write the font)

—Extras:

-has cold hands, is very cold in general (always wears warm outfits no matter the temperature)

-fascination with sea lanterns

-developed photophobia while in the temple and was much more talkative pre-Sea Temple adventure

// Sammy: navigation / explorer //

weapon: bow 🏹

often built makeshift abodes for the three to stay in temporarily during adventures

very knowledgeable about biomes, mobs, and cartography from years of being an explorer with Nurm

speaks fluent Villic (they translate when the group enters a village)

—Extras:

-has a journal used to catalog flora/fauna from her expeditions

-collects plants

Interactions:

Jack and Vos have been adventuring together since they were young and are essentially inseparable, rarely going on adventures without the other (have matched experience and have saved the other’s life)

meeting Jack was the reason Sammy decided to take up adventuring in favor of exploring (inspired her to get out of comfort zone)

Vos was teaching Sammy to make tipped arrows (the potion in her inventory was from him)

Sammy introduced Vos to the concept of wrapping his hands (+ his leather boots were a gift from them)

Sammy usually has to keep the other two in check, but on occasion would need assistance from Vos to convince Jack not to do something reckless

Extras:

—The trio liked taking turns picking places to go adventuring:

Jack usually planned adventures around treasure hunting or thrill-seeking. (Dude treasure-hoards like a dragon.) He liked to test his limits and improve his abilities at any opportunity. If the other two were having trouble, he’d always be there to help them. These adventures were always challenging, but in a fun way (until the Sea Temple.) Favorite biome: desert / mesa.

Vos adored visiting ancient ruins and kept a stash of artifacts of unknown value. He also liked finding treasures, but would usually give them to Jack. On occasion, these locations would turn out to be more perilous and dilapidated than anticipated. Favorite biome: ocean.

Sammy usually picked places that were less dangerous to keep Jack and Vos from burning themselves out, but never strayed from thrill-seeking if she knew the other two were fine to handle it. Neither liked to admit when they needed a break: (Jack out of pride, Vos out of embarrassment.) Sammy would take every opportunity to teach the two about the world around them on expeditions, especially reminding Jack to slow down and appreciate the places he visited. (Rather than seeing everything as a challenge to be beat as fast as possible.) Favorite biome: jungle.

—All three have vastly different expressions of speech:

Jack is no stranger to cursing, loves making puns, and often uses Minecraft metaphors/similes

Vos’ exclamations of excitement are almost always references to poetry (“Callou, callay!” or “Frabjous day!”) and he prefers using nonsense words in substitute of cursing

Sammy often uses botany terms for expressions and they don’t curse either

—Structure Block preferences: (if they had made it to the final room in the temple)

Jack and Sammy would have voted to take the Tower of the Warrior.

Had the events of the temple not gone awry, Vos would have voted to take the Wall of the Builder. However, after being trapped in the obsidian cages for so long, when he finally sees the structure blocks, he likely would have avoided the Wall of the Builder at all costs.

—I associate the three with land (Jack), sea (Vos), and sky (Sammy). No idea why.

—Similarly to the Order of the Stone, if I had to assign them ores… Jack- gold, Vos- lapis lazuli, Sammy- iron or diamond, and Nurm- emerald.

—Nurm didn’t accompany the trio during the initial adventure to the temple. He only found out later upon reuniting with Jack.

If any of y’all want to snatch these for any reason, feel free! Credit is optional- enjoy ^^
