Redacted Frederick - Tumblr Posts
hey guys I'm working on something, and I would like to know the story behind Fred and bright eyes, I know about their turning but that's it and id like to know why people were against bright eyes?
just want to make sure i get my facts right
Ive recently been thinking about a boxing au for the redacted universe. I will do this in bullet points cause it makes sense but if I do well ill write some stuff. And if you are inspired by it and want to write your own stuff based around it, go for it just credit me for the inspiration. ( I'm not good at writing fighting, and i don't know much boxing terminology, so if you know something let me know)
tw fo quin being shitty, toxic, abusive.
Quinn is a non professional trainer, set up illigeal " anything goes fights" normally only takes on one loyal boxer at a time.
david runs a profisnal gym , has multiple traniers such as milo and asher. most the other wolf pack works there or train as a fighter.\
the wolf pack will often go to illegal fights to scout fighters , to try and get them to a profecinal level
darlin started off as quinns boxer, and partner. darlin switched trainers when david scouted them. Quinn did not take it well, broke up with them in a violent way. opening darlins eyes to what Quinn was really like.
Willium is an older , boxer champion who has a closed off gym, after his number one, alexis, started training and betting illegally. sam and vincent are his trainers , sam retired from actual fights , while vincent trains and fights.
now i was never able to listen to the fred/bright eyes story so if this doesn't fit I'm sorry
Sam trains fred after finding him and bright eyes, injured in a fight, they'd been jumped by some of Quinns guy, for no other reason then the fact that they like having the power to hurt people.
Bright eyes however, didn't want to learn from Sam, they thought that it ve better to learn first who ever taught the group that jumped them, so they became Quinn favorite fighter.
Angel and David were together before angel started training , they only train for self defense after realizing that David couldn't magicly show up to save them. They are very good and asher and milo keep suggesting they get in the ring but they don't want to , and David agrees with angel. Angel prefers kickboxing btw.
Sweethearts life wasn't easy and they made money fighting in the streets, they worked alone, no one trained them. They fought dirty, wearing rings in fights, heart shaped rings , which earned them the name sweetheart, cause they'd leave heart imprints all over their opponents body
The damn group are a fight school, only really train and fight within the school
Cutie is known for being so good there accused of cheating, it almost like they now their oppents next move. But in reality they spend a lot of time learning the patterns of other fighters. known for being on the defensive before taking out their opponents in just a few hits
That's all I got for now. Not checked so sorry about the spelling and grammar mistakes.
The longer I think about this the more I want to write something, I'm currently working on an outline. Anyway I'm here to aks for some fighter names for the non listeners, one that fit with who they are but also work in a non magical world l, i don't want it to be obvious like " milo the wolf" so I'd love some suggestions for any character you'd like to add

sam is literally the only reason everyone hates bright eyes
AND SHSHSKJSD SHUT UP SHUT UP SHHH I LOVE SAM HES MY HUSBAND IM NOT SLANDERING HIM GRRR /lh /nsrs
he lashed out at them like they were a little kid after their decision. i dont think he was necessarily wrong to be upset, bc again bright eyes was in the wrong for what they did, but i guarantee you if he was the first person to reach lovely the fandom would hate them too. vince hit on them on sight so we dont care that going back to where they met vince was the dumbest thing they could possibly do.
unfortunately it looks like redacted fans do not want flawed characters with their sexy bf soup, which is fine sure, but it hurts my psychoanalysing heart /lh /hj
I'm going to be real with y'all. The reason I'm hesitant about writing my thoughts about bright eyes and darlin is that. Some y'all don't understand their not 100 percent in right with their actions.
I get some people kin characters or really like them. But some y'all can't handle when the Canon it's self has valid criticism of their actions. I don't want people being upset at me bringing it to attention when Canon itself says yah that's a problem or really bad flaw.

It seems I have written yet another one-shot while I was procrastinating my bigger works... Oh well, at least I had fun writing it for the past three hours.
If you're looking to read some suicidal and angsty Bright Eyes/Frederick fic in which I explore my take on Bright's behavior, here you go!
Here Are Some Names The Listeners Call Our Redacted Boys! Solaire Clan And Shaw Pack Edition:
Angel: Davey/Cutie or Babe/Handsome depending on whether they want to annoy Davey or not
Baabe: Ash/Darling
Sweetheart: My Love/Love (get it? because milo and my love sound similar? yea no, i'll leave-)
Lovely: Vince/Vinny and any (and every) other short version of Vincent or Lover/My Beloved
Darlin: Sammy/Dear
Bright Eyes: Freddy/Moissanite (because it's the most reflective gem and fred is the light of their life, get it? i'm so creative, i know /s (<-but in addition to this: Fred doesn't get it at all and just feels sorta insulted that Bright compares him to a rock all the time))
Our beloved Redacted cast as sodas I drink regularly (and sodas I loathe with my entire existence) in order of how much I like said drink:
Darlin - Coke. No debate.
Damien - Diet Coke. No difference between this one and the first.
Angel - Chupa Chups strawberry and cream flavor. Because they're so sweet <3
Guy - Mountain Dew. Always a good time and knows how to keep me up all night.
Freelancer - Coke and orange juice mix. Always a solid choice and Freelancer knows it.
Frederick - Fanta pineapple flavor. So sweet, too much sugar - my poor heart can't take it! /pos in the most "/pos" way to ever "/pos."
Lasko - Chupa Chups watermelon flavor. Very sweet but somehow still refreshing.
Asher - Fanta berry flavor. For some reason it makes me think of him.
Blake - Regular Fanta. Usually too sticky for my tastes, but I can enjoy it like once every six months-
Gavin - 7 Up. Only better than Sprite because it's not as sticky.
Elliott - Pepsi. I honestly have no idea why.
Vinecnt - Coke cherry flavor. It just doesn't mix well in terms of soda - take Coke or cherry but not both for the love of god (Still love Vincent tho and a coke/cherry slushy does taste amazing <3).
Kody - Sprite. He and it are sticky and I don't like it.
Regulus - Dr.Pepper - Better than Root Beer by like .0001%
Sam - Root Beer. He might like it but I sure as hell don't (but unlike Vincent, I am severely judging this man despite my undying love for him).
Because nobody asked, here are songs that make it very easy for me to write for/that I associate with certain characters (but this is only for the vampires because otherwise, this list would likely be too long for anyone to want to read it):
Sam: I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend by Girl In Red. [I will not explain. Just listen to the song and don't tell me you can't see Darlin' and Sam sitting on the couch with an acoustic guitar.]
William: Dream On by Aerosmith. [It's not that I'm refusing to explain. Rather, I have no idea how to explain this.]
Vincent: Honkai World Diva from the game Honkai Impact 3rd. [So majestic. Just like him TwT]
Vincent (again): From Now On We Are Enemies by Fall Out Boy. [Vibe. That's why.]
Alexis: Applause by Lady Gaga. [It really feels like her. Like, if songs had a human appearance, Applause would look like Alexis.]
Alexis (I had to): After Life by Band-Maid. [Alexis but happy :D]
Adam: Regret by 1stress. [Again, I have no explanation other than "the song looks like him."]
Quinn: Battle Cry by Shayfer James. [Yes.]
Lovely: Vampire by DECO*27 [I don't think I have to explain this one.]
Lovely (once more): The Title Track by Origami Angel. [You know, while I was going through my playlist, I was expecting to end up with hyperpop or a Hatsune Miku song for Lovely. Then I put on The Title Track and somehow it just clicked for me.]
Bright Eyes: Dream On BUT it's the Kasane Teto cover. [The cover that made me fall in love with Teto <3]
Frederick: Bleed Magic by I Don't Know How But They Found Me. [Haha trauma haha funny. But seriously, this was not the song I expected to give Fred.]
Things I would make a second Ao3 account for just so I could give kudos twice: Teaching and Learning -related Prompts.
•Angel teaching David how to roller-skate and him being a mess about it.
•Tank teaching Angel how to ollie.
•Honey teaching Guy how to do sudokus.
•Marie teaching Sweetheart some family recipe that's been passed down in her side of the family.
•Huxley showing Lasko how to properly care for plants without drowning or dehydrating them.
•Sam and Baabe sitting down and teaching each other how to play their respective instruments (guitar/piano).
•Freelancer teaching Damien how they always win at bowling.
•Damien teaching Gavin how to minigolf.
•Starlight teaching Avior how to make their favorite ice cream (said ice cream turns out to be some horrific ice cream/slice of pizza/chips mix).
•Tank who was forced into dance groups and such as a kid teaching Bright Eyes how to dance.
•Vincent, Lovely, and Frederick studying for D.A.M.N. together.
There's a spider in my bed.
"There's a spider that's been in my bed for a week, I lost it and still haven't found it. Despite this, I still sleep in my bed" - Darlin', Honey, Lovely, Freelancer, Lasko's co-worker
"There is a spider in my bed, I lost it and now I sleep in the bathtub" - Vincent, Guy, Milo & Sweetheart, Gavin, Frederick, Damien, Lasko, Elliott & Sunshine
"I saw a spider in my bed so I got my partner to clean the entire room and make sure to catch it" - Angel, Asher (Neither David nor Baabe actually found the spider in question. They pretended to have found it but they didn't.)
"There's a spider in my bed. Has been for at least a week now. We're friends :)" - Bright Eyes, Doc, Hudson, Huxley

That tiny itty bitty infinitely small hope that maybe Fred will get even a single line at the monarchial summit.
Imagine that as a thing to show off their wealth, vampire monarchs wear gems on their fangs because it keeps them from feeding on people (or at least makes the process more difficult) and therefore shows others that they have the money to just live off of blood bags (and that they have the money to get super expensive gems made into jewelry for their teeth but that's secondary right now-).
William specifically used to have a sapphire on each of his top canines (mainly because of his vow to never turn anyone and the added difficulty of even biting anyone through these accessories was supposed to have him rethink it if he ever so much as considered to turn anyone) but he had them removed after he turned Vincent and had them reshaped into earrings. He's never worn them and they slowly collect dust in a fancy little box.
Vincent has a heart-shaped ruby on his bottom left fang (he chose this placement because there the gem wouldn't get in the way while feeding) and after they got turned, he offered to get Lovely a matching one. They also go get it renewed together every one and a half years or so and make a cute date out of it.
Alexis, on the 50th anniversary of her turning, got herself a small diamond to put on her top right fang. Before that, she had an oval-shaped garnet on both her fangs instead. She says she wears them purely for the aesthetic, but if you bother her long enough she'll admit that she likes how people squirm as the jewelry digs into their skin.
Porter likes jewelry and nice things as much as the rest of his clan, but he was never fond of the inconvenience tooth gems pose so he never got any. However, William has offered to get him one or more custom-made on multiple occasions before he let Porter go off and do his thing away from the clan. If he ever were to get any jewelry for his teeth though, he'd get something done with amethyst.
Sam has a very subtle, diamond-shaped, white quartz on his top right fang. It was Vincent's suggestion (and he was the one to pay for the jewelry and the procedure of attaching it) to get Sam more comfortable with his new body.
Bright Eyes is not a fan of tooth gems, but they do have two silver fangs because ☆style☆ However, they do enjoy looking at different designs for them similarly to how they just browse tattoo designs without ever getting one done.
Frederick doesn't want any jewelry on his teeth either because he's worried about it somehow getting caught on his lip and injuring himself or something of the like. Sam told him that nothing like that had ever happened to anyone he knew to have tooth gems, but Fred still didn't want to get one.
Okay so first Bright has to put up with Fred's whole existence and then they have to deal with Porter's "being up in your business" thing. Are you trying to kill my boi is that what you're trying to do Piff? Also yes to Porter in stilettos I love that u-u
And I love how Fred was just hyping himself up to talk to Bright only for Bright Eyes to then just death glare him into silence-
Ok just one more punk progeny won't hurt~
Chapter 7: family meeting
(Ftm trans Bright eyes (uses he/him pronouns. This Chapter isn't going to make any sense unless you've read all the other chapters but to save you the time I'd like to remind you that treasure and Bright eyes are the same person in this fic)
Family meeting.
That's what William called it.
Admittedly that's also what Vincent called it but after his encounter with Porter he was feeling a little....raw.
Especially after hearing that he would be bringing a newborn as his date.
Vincent explained to Lovely that that was the vampire equivalent of bringing a baby to a funeral.
But Lovely was quick to point out that they themselves where also still technically a newborn. Vincent was quick to add that they were the exeption.
Vincent and Lovely were the first ones there besides Bright and alexis, who had been In the house all night.
Which did make Vincent more than a little concerned for Bright's safety but he trusted the kid's resolve. They pulled up by sky side then took a moment to compose themselves.
Lovely handled the Porter situation very well in Vincent's opinion, but he was sure that others may disagree considering they decked him.
Hopefully Porter hasn't tatteled on them to William during their "meeting".
Vincent smiled at Lovely before they exited the car.
They got this.
Upon arriving they were both met with the sound of.....a piano?
"Wow that Sounds beautiful!" Exclaimed Lovely
Vincent was befuddled.
"Yeah....it dose..."
"You look surprised"
"I am. The only person here that knows how to play the piano is alexis but she's....let's just say that THIS isn't her music...(if you could even call it that)"
Lovely giggled
"Is she not very good?"
Vincent shuddered.
"No. No she is not."
His face gave the impression that alexis playing the piano wasn't the most....pleasant of memories.
But once they both arrived in the common room, they were met with a not so cheery looking alexis.
It was safe to assume that she was in fact NOT the current pianist.
"Hey alexis, who's?-"
"Bright eyes"
She interrupted sternly.
"You let him touch your piano!?"
She scoffed.
"No. He's playing on William's, I always play the burgundy one William got for me"
"Oh. Right"
Vincent and Lovely sat down. Awaiting Sam, Fred, William and Porter's arrival.
Hopefully not for very much longer, the uncomfortable tension was becoming too much to handle.
"Hey before everyone eles gets here, could you go get Bright?"
Vincent asked alexis, partly to give him and Lovely somw more time to anticipate the meeting and because Vincent wanted to know if Bright had made his decision yet.
Then again this meeting was most likely going to answer that question.
Alexis groaned
"Fine"
Alexis looked out from the doorway into the music room at Bright eyes as he played William's grand piano.
She had previously played it during the first few years of her turning until eventually William got one for herself.
A seemingly kind gesture but alexis had always suspected that his reasoning for this was so that she'd keep away from his things.
The sight caused a possessive rage to shoot through her.
She grabbed a random book from one of the shelves in the hallway next to the double doors
And threw it at Bright's head.
The corner of the book hit his skull and it caused him to jolt away from the piano
He winced in pain as a look of annoyance and fury made its way across his face.
"OW! WHAT!?"
He saw alexis scowling in the doorway.
"Come on kid, family meeting in the common room"
After this, she retreated back to the common room, nit waiting for Bright eyes to get up from his chair and close the piano.
Eventually he caught up with her.
Once Bright had entered the common room, Vincent immediately pirked up and started a conversation with him.
It wasn't long after that when Sam and Fred arrived.
Vincent and Lovely seemed happy to see Sam and were quick to start conversing about the anticipated meeting.
Which left Bright and Fred to awkwardly shuffle and avoid eyes contact with eachother.
/ Fred's pov: /
Should I say hi?
We haven't talked at all since our argument and only occasionally brushed shoulders.
But with Tank moving in with Sam....I kinda feel like mabye it's time to move out and back when we were.....alive Bright would always talk about how one day we'd move in together.
He finally mustered up the courage to look at Bright and was about to ask him about there living situation.
But as soon as they locked eyes, Bright had a scowl plastered on his face.
So Fred looked away before he got the chance to ask
/ end of Fred's pov /
Suddenly, William opened the double doors of the mansion and entered.
"I'm sorry, are we the last ones here?"
'We'? Thought Bright eyes.
"Where's Porter?"
Asked Vincent almost sternly.
"Hes still in the car but don't worry he'll be out soon"
Vincent scoffed
"I am not worried about him"
William sighed as he removed his cloak. Vincent, Sam and Lovely were sitting on the same couch with Sam sitting on the edge of it and Vincent and Lovely next to eachother.
Bright and Fred were sitting on the couch opposite to them with Bright being the closest to William as he remained standing.
Alexis had her own chair.
Then Porter entered the room.
Fred was the only one in that room that hadn't yet seen Porter so he made note of the man's appearance.
He wasn't particularly tall, mabye only a little taller than Bright eyes, but he was wearing stilettos so it was hard to tell.
There were various scars across his face. Three long claw marks layed upon his left eye and one smaller one on his jawline that reached the cusp of his mouth.
He also wore pitch black shades that were the shape of bat wings.
(Refrance ^)
Vincent scoffed
"Sunglasses at night huh? Classy"
He said sarcastically to no one in particular.
Though Porter answer him.
"Oh why thank you~"
As Porter's eyes scanned the room, his gase eventually landed on Bright eyes.
And as he did he slowly removed his shades in shock.
Bright gave him the same look as they realised the situation they had found themselves in.
And simultaneously thought of the thing that usually comes to mind when you run into somone you had a one night stand with just the other night:
"SHHIIITTT"
_____________________________
(I accidentally posted an unfinished version of this cos tumbler was mad at me for the chapter being to long so I cut it in half. This is the first half. For those who saw the unfinished version...keep what happens to yourself for now)
Taggs:
@darlin-collins @anexistingexistence @you-think-i-care-mate
The two versions of Bright Eyes:
1) Post-turning Bright Eyes - Possibly depressed, possibly overjoyed at the idea of being a dead person, definitely a chaotic neutral entity who uses magic to make their irises shine like flashlights.
2) Bright Eye - They got into a fight with Fred. Their left eye is gone because Fred jammed something into their eyesocket during that fight and they couldn't get the thing out in time so their vampire healing healed all the areas around the wound but the eye will never recover. They're just Bright Eye now.
You know what? Fuck this
[Throws
at you]
This is very Bright and Fred themed and you will agree with me.
I bought new crystal glassware a few days ago and god I need (someone else because I'm lazy) to draw our vamps holding them because oH MY GOD I LOVE MY CRYSTAL GLASSES
