Redacted Sam - Tumblr Posts

Does anyone else just ever want to make a redacted oc that just throws a wrench in the timeline and how things function? The amount of characters ideas stored in my brain that do not match up with the logic of the redactedverse or the relationships between certain characters are some of my best thought out ones-

(They are mostly for angst purposes but-)

The wedding has finally arrived!!! 💒🔔✨

As much as I love these characters, I would really like to transition to focusing on the vampires now, specifically the Solaires (duh lol). There's so much potential for new characters. Dimitri Rebane, more Porter audios, mayyyyybe William audios (👀), who knows!!! (Please read below!!!!! I have so many ideas and need to dump them somewhere) (⚠️pun not intended⚠️).

People may not agree with me on that, but hear me out! Vincent and Sam left the house of Solaires, so we could get audios here and there about where they (and their relationships) end up. Since the wedding is done and David stated that during the summit, someone from the house of Wright told him to stay away from the Solaires, that would give more of a reason to have dispersed audios for Vincent and Sam and to include new characters. They've been around for a long while now, and the werewolf culture is hashed out, so I feel that there isn't much else to do with them.

Here are some arcs that I think would be cool to enter:

1) Although we know about werewolf culture, we only know a little about vampire culture and their politics. I would absolutely LOVE to see how that comes to play in Porter and Treasure's relationship (*Important note*: During the summit, when it was pointed out by the Prince of the house of Bennet that Vince killed someone, Porter was Q.U.I.C.K to defend him by saying that Adam violated the bite/claim marking). It seems that Porter is very protective of Treasure and values the relationship with them, so I think there's opportunity to hash out Vamp culture/politics through that. Ex: Someone has an eye out for Treasure, Porter freaks out but they don't know why, then we get an explanation. Idk why, but it's interesting to me that Porter covered for Vince that quick, and for *that* reason. Of course that could be explained away bc he literally killed a King and was in charge of creating an alibi, but it felt like foreshadowing to me. At some point Treasure is going to have to be informed that their man's a hitman, and maybe it's the toxicity in me but I think Porter being quick to unalive someone for violating that bite claim could be an entry way into that conversation.

1.5) If we get Will as an official character (listener wise), then we can see how his and Porter's...uhhh...relationship. When we were introduced to Porter, he was very adamant (again, no pun intended) that Treasure's friends were not good people and went into a tangent about transactional relationships. I fully feel like this was a projection of his and Will's friendship. To support my point, the next audio was him contemplating the validity and ethics of the friendship. He even questioned if he was scared of Will. It would be great to see this explored further by more vamp politics videos. In my recent post about Porter, I wondered whether Will is going to manipulate Porter into becoming next in line for succession. Alexis is trash, Vincent is gone...so who's left???

2) Speaking of monarchies and successions, I know the fooliverse audios are not supposed to be taken as canon, but it's interesting that Erik brought up a whole new character for Milo's audio. Dimitri Rebane. Like...we get a first AND last name??? For a non-canon arc??? 🤨 We didn't even get Asher's last name until what? Almost a year ago? Erik seems very organized and well thought out, so even though the fooliverse arc itself isn't canon, the characters sure are. AND Mr. Rebane is a KING??? How come he wasn't brought up in the summit??? Hmmm.....🤔 Wouldn't it be crazy if he does become a canon character and ends up murdering Will and taking over the Solaire clan? Maybe he messes up the friendship with Porter to no return (maybe by messing with Treasure somehow) and Porter helps Dimitri become king because he's better, and he won't have to take up more responsibility than he could handle.

3) I get it, some people may prefer werewolves to vampires. But I think everyone forgot that THERE'S A WHOLE ASS WEREWOLF PACK THAT HAS NOT BEEN COVERED YET‼️‼️‼️We have the Keaton pack, but does anyone remember during one of Erik's channel anniversary streams where he did a kahoot-style game and alluded to the Moore pack (no, not Lasko lol). There were four options, the Shaw pack, the Keaton pack, the Moore pack, and some other answer. The Moores was the correct one and he even gave a geographic location to them in comparison to the Shaw and Keaton packs. We dead ass could have a whole nother set of characters from a whole different pack if he didn't give them the Frederick and Bright Eyes treatment and just ignored their whole existence .

That's all the brain dump I have for now. Sorry if I fried yours in the process, but I've been thinking about the Moore (or More) pack FOR YEARS.

(Also, Monarch Baz got pissy with David for not understanding vamp politics, AND it's confirmed that some vamps are involved with the inversion and close-knit case, which is more support for my reasoning and theory that we might be headed towards a vamp arc soon). If you guys like me dumping info and theories like this, PLEASE let me know. If not, I'll definitely keep my posts shorter in the future. Thank you for reading!!! 💜 Stay safe, drink water, and drive safe!

In the mean time, Dimitri from the movie Anastasia is my head canon for Dimitri Rebane.

My History professor is just a straight, older Erik. Same haircut, same eye color, same voice. The loophole I was thrown into while being lectured on Truman & Reagan....

Hello, Sam Collins.

ouch

I'm guessing that Porter was born around the 1950s.

When listening to his first audio and he described Treasure as demure I didn't know what that meant so I looked it up. I can't remember which website it was, but it showed the popularity of the word throughout history, and the most recent was the 2010s, but that wouldn't necessarily make sense because 1) you tend to keep the vocabulary you grown up learning and 2) Porter was around even before Vincent was turned (I'm pretty sure). He's older than Vincent, talks with older terms, and just imagine how LONG it would take for the tutors William got to teach him. He's like the Simone Biles of vampire magic. That didn't come from no where. He was unemowered before he was turned as well, so he would've needed EXTRA help.

So, the most recent timeframe in which "demure" was popular was, I believe, around the 1950s. Again, I could be wrong because I can't remember the website. But it makes sense that he would be around 70 years old.

Eirk HAS to be a graphic designer or something. The visuals are. I.N.S.A.N.E.!!!!!

This is very much giving Porter and Treasure vibes.

working on a lil something

I know that everyone thinks that Darlin not talking to William with Sam is because they would deck the old man on sight, but I think that this was actually the moment they realised that they don't want to be a vampire.

Because they look around the Solaire Clan and don't see the close knit family of the Shaw Pack. They see a lonely old man with far too much power and far too grand ambitions. They see people bound together by barely unconditional kindness and the shared experiencence of having your life ruined by a vampire. They see everything they do subdued and layered behind bullshit politics. They don't see a family, but a company.

A world that wouldn't want to live in, with or without Sam.

They don't want to be a vampire.

I LOVE YOU

Hello Hello! I'm back with another way too complicated project <3

So! I have had a couple friends ask about Redacted Audio, and for a summary for various reasons. So I did that, and I'm sharing it!

I made 4 different versions of the summary, Canva, PDF, a very broken Google Slides, and a Google Docs alternative.

All are available at https://fanmade-redacted.carrd.co/

Two things to note! One, this was made for fun and has no relation to the official channel or website. Two, is that I am one person doing this as a side project. There is a very good chance I missed things or the lore could be outdated. Shoot me a message if that's the case! But otherwise, enjoy! Thanks friends!

day 1 of disrespecting Sam cuz bullying is my love language

—

sam is the type of person to go outside on his porch during a tornado and say “*points in southern* damn didly darn darlin look over yonder’ it’s a big ol’ tornader”

Someone should draw this

shifted darlin making biscuits on sam‘s tiddies since he‘s strong enough for it and wont get crushed

Sometimes I wonder, will redacted ever have an actual end? Like, obviously Erik will stop posting sooner or later, but will we have a finished plot? Is there en end? Can there be one?

That would be hard to do, considering how many characters there are, but it is possible. Just like how ivan's or geordi's playlist ended. Maybe some characters would have a happy ending while others broke up with their listeners. Or maybe some will die....Anything could happen really.

But then again, it could just be a discontinued story, left to our imagination.

Just a thought 🤷‍♀️

Seeing the whole 'Solaire clan' drama arc happening right in front of me whilst im still at freelancer season 1 hurts so much..like I wanna know what's happening but I can't spoil it for myself 😭

Yes.

boothill… and sam collins….oh my

Something I've noticed is that I self insert everywere. Including redactedverse.

Like every single redacted listener is me, just in a different form. I don't care if their personality is my polar opposite.

Angel? Yep that's me. Honey? I mean in some cases, yeah. Darlin? Pffft of course..Baabe? Absolutely.

Oh yeah, remember when David proposed to Angel? Well yeah, he proposed to me so..

I'm sorry for Erik who took the time to hone in on every listener's attributes......but it's me 🤷‍♀️

Dude I just had a dream that William took over the world. It was all over the news and stuff, like; "Vampire has taken over the world, Earth is now going to be called 'Solaire'.

And while all that was happening, I was walking to school. I thought I was running late so I checked my phone for the time...exept.. instead of the time and date it just said "William:Solaire".

And for some reason I didn't really care about the whole thing, I just didn't want to be late for class.. Oh! Then Vincent was driving by in his huge jeep and offered me a ride. Sam was in the backseat I think?

Yeah, then I woke up 😔

Can someone make a redacted dating sim? Pretty please?? Most of this fandom are artists and writers, I'm sure there should be some programmers here, right??

So like you pick a character and become their listener to play their route. For example if you chose Asher then you get stuck in an elevator with him and etc.

So basically just redacted but as a game with multiple choices!

And it wouldn't even need voicing since you could just use the characters actual lines (if that's legal idk). Obviously not all the lines would be voiced but still.

AND YOU GET TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR CHARACTER SINCE LISTENERS DON'T HAVE A CANON APPEARANCE!!!! WILD POTENTIAL IF YOU ASK ME

COME ON GUYS LET'S MAKE A DEVELOPMENT TEAM EHEHEHE PUT YOUR DRAWING AND WRITING SKILLS TO USE
