what are some key events that happen in the series?

I want to write some fanfiction with Elle as a main character instead of avid and I want it to loosely follow the original timeline.

My version of Elle will be the monster hunter who had to kill her best friend when he went feral, and she will go to Oakhurst looking for a cure and/or answers because before he died, he infected her during their fight. Elle is going to be less...jumpy and more cautious and won't be as vocal about vampires living amongst the townsfolk. She'll also be a little less social and would prefer to keep a distance between her and the other townsfolk for fear of turning into a monster and hurting them.

As with the series, she'll start losing control of her humanity and will seek a way to get rid of the curse, and that way turns out to be vampirism. She, however, won't flirt with Scott (because he's gay and she's in love with another), but she will be thankful to him for curing her (it might still be Shelby who cures her, idky on that point).

I'm going to take some liberties with my story but I was hoping to get some key canon events that I could weave into the fanfic. It's been a while since I've watched the series so my memory is a bit hazy when it comes to things that happened, and I don't want to spend ages rewatching everything right now (life often gets in the way).

I remember a few key things (spoiler for safety): >!house judgement competition, avid turning the first beacon in town, Scott and Owen turning Pyro, those same three turning Shelby, Legundo and Owen having a fight that leads to Owen turning Legundo, Owen and Pyro killing Avid then Pyro getting killed by Shelby, and Abolish giving Owen the chance to be cured and him choosing death, Scott confronting Pyro for telling others about his mine, Cleo killing Legundo once he turned the rest of the townsfolk, Ren dying in a fight because Martyn was killed.!< There's probably more I remember but again, it's hazy.

So, what are some key events that I might be able to add into my fanfic?

having trouble not getting lines unless I press hard

EDIT: using perpetual license version 1 something and a artist pro 15.6 xppen tablet.

the video's a bit quick but I'm having issues with Clip Studio not picking up my lighter pen strokes, which is really annoying because I like sketching in quick light lines to set a base for my drawings. the body lines you see are the weight I normally draw at and the ones on the hair (and shown in the video) show the pen pressure issues. you can also see that I tried to write something ("stupid pen pressure") and it wasn't working.

I just switched devices from my pc to my laptop to see if I can draw on it with my xppen and I can...sort of. idk if there's a setting I missed because I had to set everything back up again and it's been A While since I'd last done it. or if it's something with the laptop because it does have to be plugged in all the time because the battery doesn't work so maybe it's a power issue?

the laptop has windows 10 (which I haven't used in years) and I tried disabling windows ink but I can't figure out how to see if that's causing the issues. I did try playing around with wintab and tabletpc but switching to tabletpc makes any brush strokes look like I'm trying to use a mouse to draw.

if this is because of the laptop then that's sad because I wanted to be able to use the laptop too, but if it isn't the laptop, then what could it be?

[Windows 11] I am getting an error whenever I try to open an files: "Windows cannot find (path).jpg. Make sure you typed the name correctly then try again."

PC Details

Device name HachePi

Processor AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor (3.80 GHz)

Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable)

Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (12 GB)

Storage 394 GB of 477 GB used

Device ID 0C4AD558-1054-4EBF-A322-AFB7328F66D9

Product ID 00342-20896-13778-AAOEM

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Pen and touch Pen support

Problem

I can't seem to open any of my files. I noticed this first on my EMTEC 32 gb usb flash drive and then I checked my downloads folder and I can open only one file but not the others because it's a webp image and not a jpg. every time, I get the error:

>Windows cannot find 'E:/(filename).jpg'. Make sure your typed the name correctly, and then try again.

I've updated the drivers and I've made sure that photos was set as the default program. I was able to access my files just the other day* but now, I'm unable to. I've tried finding some reddit threads that could be of help but no one's situation is the same as mine from what I've seen.

EDIT: okay, it seems like if I right click and select "open with", then select anything but photos (ie: firefox, paint, snipping tool), it will open the files and let me see the image. photos for some reason, is not working which is weird because it was working the other day*.

does this mean that there's an issue with photos itself? and if so, or if not, how I can fix the problem? I'd like to be able to see my screenshots and my art without having to right click for an option all the time.

* by other day, I think it's anywhere from 2-4 days ago. my memory isn't the best so I'm unsure of an exact amount of days, but it was definitely no more than 4 days ago.

Edit #2: okay, I managed to fix it. I went to photo settings, scrolled down to the repair section, clicked repair then just in case, I also clicked reset and now photos is fixed. don't know why it broke but I'm happy now.

Finally bought Red Dead Redemption 1 and about to play for the first time ever

playing on pc and it's the first time I've ever played RDR1. I've been playing RDR2 for the past month but I finally had the funds to get RDR1.

is there any tips or tricks I should know before I get into the game? (other than staying off the subreddit, of course)

also, no spoilers please except in the case of my horse. if my horse is going to be killed in a cutscene, please tell me because I want to be more prepared than I was in RDR2.

Unlocked my first satchel!

first pic is the rough location of where I found the raccoon skins. (second pic is unrelated, just wanted to show off my Arthur)

it took me a couple days but I finally got my first satchel, the provision satchel! now I can carry more meat and oatcakes (meat for Arthur and oatcakes for the horses)

most of the time was spent trying to find the raccoon pelt but I finally found it near Dewberry Creek. I tried a few other places – near the Dakota River (found none), near Radley's Pasture (found two 1 star and one 2 star), on the road between Lone Mule Ranch and Riggs Station (found one 1 star). It wasn't until I went back to Dewberry Creek that I finally got not one, but two! 3 star raccoon pelts. I had tried Dewberry Creek before the other locations but only found a couple 1 star raccoons.

After that I rushed to get the bison pelt and found that a couple hills away from Heartland Overflow. One clean shot with an express bullet from my Springfield Rifle and I rushed back to camp to get my new satchel :D I'll work on the other ones next but getting a badger, panther, cougar, rabbit, beaver, and iguana pelt isn't gonna be easy.

if anyone has any tips for getting the pelts I mentioned, I'd greatly appreciate it.

how do I stop the zoom wheel from making my other monitors zoom in?

if I have my mouse on my main screen and not my tablet, and I move the scroll wheel, it zooms in and out on my browser and it's quite annoying. I had this issue fixed ages ago to where the wheel affected my canvas and only my canvas, but I have no idea how I did it.

I've tried searching but the internet was pretty unhelpful. any ideas how to fix this so I don't keep zooming in on my browser as I'm trying to watch videos?

Vanilla Tweaks More Mob Heads - is there a command for specific heads?

version: Java 1.26.2

- technically modded but only with some basic fabric mods like mouse tweaks, world edit, shaders, etc.

I'm working in a test world and want to work with mob heads, but the only ones that show up in the creative menu are the 7 vanilla ones. I tried using a command to get the vanilla tweaks mob heads, but when I type "/give [my username] head" it only shows the 5 vanilla ones (and the 2 skulls if I typed skull) as an option.

is there a specific command to get a specific head? like say I want a salmon head, is there a command I can type to get the salmon head?

*note, the only way I can get the specific mob head right now is if I spawn the mob in and kill it, and that's just kind of tedious because there's not a 100% change of the head dropping.
