I really wish the guys in Mystreet were shown to be a lot closer. They’ve been friends a long while!! Can they be shown hanging out often other than the just the ships (and occasionally roommate) episodes?
The first season did okay with it but. idk the other seasons weren’t very satisfactory, especially since they kept gradually removing characters

Happy Sibling Day!
Wow look at me, I actually planned ahead to make a piece for a specific day and finished it on time wowie.
Anyway have some sibling pairs bein’ cute!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay and since I suck at shutting up my thought processes behind the pieces!
Garroth and Zane: Hc that Zane is very smart but had some speech issues early on. Speech therapy helped a lot, to the point where he becomes almost absurdly eloquent as his reading quickly translates into his speech. The comic is set early on in this therapy, so he’s just starting to vocalize names, and he hasn’t quite grasped the -th sound yet lol.
Laurance and Cadenza: Okay I actually have two ideas for Laurance’s ginger phase that I can’t choose between.
Option 1: As Laurance got older he and Cadenza started getting confused for a couple by strangers, which got on both of their nerves. Laurance lost the draw for who had to change their hair color, but ends up really liking the orange as it makes him feel closer to Candenza
Option 2: Since Laurance and Hayden look more similar people start to assume Cadenza is just Laurance’s friend and not part of the family. It gets to the point where Cadenza wants to dye her hair brown to fit in with them, but knowing how much she loves her hair Laurance offers to dye his instead, so that they can be equally confusing.
Dimitri and Naoko: Dimitri was raised by Nicole for most of his childhood before her and Dante decide to try a coparenting situation. He’s hesitant about his new sister, but quickly warms up to her. All the parents are definitely recording it to embarrass him later lol.
Levin and Malachi + Lilith and Alina: I wanted to draw them all together, maybe in a joking rivalry kind of way, (child batch 1 vs child batch 2) but I settled for pictures of them on Aph’s walls.

wait I already asked for sum but I'm asking again — haha sorry
fem werewolf reader x garroth - my street location but after all the chaos so garroth is a werewolf too
nobody knows reader is a wolf as she got bullied for it when she was young, way before high school and she learned how to hide her ears and tail so she always did and eventually it became about of an afterthought at times although it was a topic she hates thinking abt
reader is Katelyn's best friend as they used to play volleyball together in pdh, garroth and everybody else obviously knows her too but Katelyn was closest with her. She always kept her friend group smaller than most and she was knows to be sweet, although she had an attitude and a sarcastic tone at times, which Katelyn loves most about her. tldr garroth and reader become close but he feels detached from everyone, as if he's keeping them at arms length, due to his trauma. Garroth has a breakdown in public when hanging w everyone (for reasons you can think of sorry Juliet 😭) and idk things happen and reader opens up to make him feel better and smooch they're baes
a/n this is such a fun request i LOVE this !! and tysm for requesting <3 i have a few other requests which I'll definitely get to eventually :)
not proof read !!! sorry, wrote this at half 2am and i really didn't wanna read it through😭
also the pic is from Pinterest:
Tumblr media
Garroth Ro'meave x fem!Wolf!Reader.
Love.
A social construct made up by lonely people who find sorrow in their isolation. Yet, no matter how much versatility love had in the eyes and, most importantly, hearts of people, the pain and adrenaline and even the dependancy love can cause is seen as a fundamental process of loving and being "normal". Now, I know this sounds pessimistic and something that a typical single, and way too desperate to mingle, person would say, I adore the idea of love and the feeling it gives us. Sometimes, life feels so meaningless and unnecessary, so the feeling of love and even the hurt or happiness it can often bring can make us as people feel so much less alien.
Now, the reason i'm so fixated on the topic of romance is due to the current predicament i find myself in. In high school, my friend Aphmau fell desperately in love with Aaron Lycan, it was cute. What was even cuter was the fact they stuck it out and are even currently engaged! Sure, we lost a figurative single soldier who ended up being taken but that was fine, it was fun fos us to gossip about and hope we could have what they have. Kawaii— no, Nana got into a relationship with Zane which was... unexpected to say the least, but it was nice to know Zane had opened up to someone other than Aphmau and that Nana finally had something she had always wanted. Katelyn broke up with Jeffory in high school too, she went through a tough time but i knew my best friend was going to be okay, and soon enough she was. However, what was NOT okay was that she ended up in a relationship too! I mean, of course she's an adult and i want the best for her and i truly am happy but wow, now i have the least amount of relatability, even to my best friend, all because Travis finally wooed her. I hadn't expected to be the only one on mystreet that was single.
Well, only single female, that is. There was Dante, who still had yet to manage his own love life but he recently went on a journey of self discovery and trying to be happy with who he is and not feel as though he had to change himself in order to be loved romantically. Kim and Lucinda were also single, although they never showed much interest in getting into a relationship, well not Lucinda at least. Kim seemed like she might just be too awkward to even try. But they didn't matter, i wasn't all that close with them, even though Lucinda and Kim felt closer than Dante due to the events of what had happened at the lodge... yeah, those experiences definitely brought us closer.
There was also Garroth...
Garroth Ro'meave, what a character. He's somebody that is incredibly attractive, objectively of course - i personally don't have feelings for him. He has this gorgeous head of sandy blonde hair, long enough to tie up into a tiny ponytail but still short enough to have tendrils of a mellow gold sticking out at the front. His skin was a pretty tan colour, he went outside alot and although he put on sunscreen, he never really bothered to apply more throughout the day so especially after coming back from holiday, his skin was lovely, sunkissed even. And although i could go on and on about his muscles and peculiar yet endearing fashion sense - I've yet to mention his best feature.
His eyes.
They were Sapphires, beautiful gemstones that shone with such luminosity that only the most expensive crystals could achieve. Although, the colour of his eyes moreso resembled Aquamarines, or perhaps even Blue Agates. His eyes were even more radiant when he smiled or laughed, and oh my god was his smile charming to say the least.
Everything about him was just - wow..
But again, don't get an ill idea, I simply see him as a friend. Maybe even a close friend. After the lodge, we had all gotten closer, especially as the feeling of loneliness often felt deadly at times.. Garroth and I had gotten much closer after the lodge, especially at Starlight as many tensions had eased between everyone and people had finally relaxed. Even now, we hang out much more often as we are some of the only single ones out of our close friends so we just gravitate towards eachother.
Unfortunately, I had grown a bit more distant from Katelyn, my ultimate best friend. After coming back from the lodge, we all spoke of course but there was so much.. uncertainty and lack of trust. It was as if we needed to reevaluate our friendships and see if they were genuine and not just Ein somehow hurting us again. We were broken. And of course the others that were not at the lodge didn't understand the change. Katelyn was never truly in touch with her emotions nor how to handle them, let alone other people's emotions. Of course she had realised there was a slight shift in my behaviour, especially as it wasn't just me. Everybody had noticed Aphmau's depression, and Katelyn was growing more confused. She wasn't able to speak to me as seriously as she wanted to or as deeply as she wanted to, so i managed to undermine how i was feeling each time she had asked. But, we both knew that a lack of much needed communication can cause cracks or gaps in friendships. Although it was obvious she felt guilty for not "getting through to me", I knew i was at fault.
Katelyn hasn't tried asking about the lodge or anything else about the time period of which we all came back from there since. She must realise how much of a sensitive topic it is. And, although I sometimes feel lonely knowing she's out having fun not missing me and instead replacing our hangouts with dates with Travis, I'm happy she's happy and I'm happy i have Garroth now too.
Truth be told, Garroth went through unforgettable things, specifically being turned into a werewolf via excruciating pain and suffering. He doesn't like talking about it, and while his ears and tail are always out, he doesn't like people mentioning them or bringing them to everybody's attention. He wasn't ready for the kinds of conversations he knew he was bound to have with everybody if he allowed them to talk about them or even just acknowledge them.
He just wanted to be Garroth, it seemed. And he was never not Garroth to me. I wish he realised that I of all people would understand.
I, too, am a werewolf - well, a wolf at least, but I've always hidden it. Nobody knows, I always intended to tell everybody but i was so so scared.. I was bullied relentlessly in my younger years for being a wolf.
I never had it easy, I was adopted by humans that didn't know i was a pup right away, so when my ears and tails had been shown after they had already signed the adoption papers, they kept me. They didn't know how to raise a pup so they brought me up like they would a human and unfortunately sent me to a human school.
I went to human schools up until high school, so until i was 14. Needless to say, it was the worst. I got beaten physically and verbally, jumped, stolen from and some people even tried to light my fur on fire, so i forever have had a burn scar on my left ear. Although i seemed brave and string after those experiences, i never got over them. Sure, i moved forward, but i dont think i ever truly moved on. Yes, Garroth and I have different experiences but I so desperately sympathise with him as i understand the pain these transitions can cause, and even just what being a wolf can cause. I want him to let me in, but there's no way in hell I'll force him into that. So for now, my friendship with him is enough.
I care for him deeply, and although i said i didn't have any interest in him, it was a pretty obvious lie.. I don't know if i would say i love him yet as its incredibly early to say such rash things but I definitely like him more than anybody should be able to like someone. But after what he's been through, I doubt romance is even on his mind, let alone me.
~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆
I turned on my side, staring aimlessly out of my window that resided next to my bed. The sky was an endless sea of midnight blue which was littered with glimmering stars.
I sighed.
I checked my phone around 10 minutes ago, so it was currently around 04:48 am if i had remembered correctly. It was getting harder and harder to sleep, and it didnt help that i kept thinking of Garroth.
Helping Garroth. Hanging out with Garroth. Liking Garroth. The beauty of Garroth. Just Garroth.
It was like a fever dream, only thinking of one person in millions of separate scenarios, i sound like an obsessed fan. I cringed, knowing i had to get up at about 11am tomorrow at the latest as I had to be at Aphmau's house by 12. She was having a hangout with everybody on mystreet as she felt like everybody had been so tense after recent events, she was always so sweet and looked out for everyone.
Well, I guess I need to at least try to sleep.
~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆
Yawning, my clenched my fists and rubbed my eyes with them, i looked beside me at my bedside table where my digital alarm clock was.
10:13.
I was kinda proud of myself for getting up at a somewhat reasonable time and getting at least 5 hours of sleep. I had some pretty bad eyebags from having sleepless nights often, but i always hid it with makeup.
I got ready within around an hour and a half leaving around 20 minutes to walk to Aphmau and Aaron's place. I was actually really pleased, i felt nice today. I sprayed myself with my favourite perfume and left my place, grabbing my phone and keys before i left. I saw Zane ans Nana holding hands as they walked into Aphmau's house a few houses down, they were super adorable to be honest.
I walked to her house and hugged Aph as she greeted me. I sat down and glanced around the room, immediately realising i had been the last to arrive. I sat down next to Garroth which was one of the only seats not occupied by a couple. Everybody was chatting loudly in a fun light hearted manner, clearly happy to feel free of any tension towards one another. I turned to Garroth, wondering why he had kept so quiet.
Immediately, I had a good idea of why.
His normally honey toned skin looked pastey and blotchy, his eyes were red and tearful and his hair was unkempt. Had nobody else noticed the support he clearly needed??
"Garroth.."
He turned to me and attempted to give me a sweet smile and whilst he looked pretty like usual, it was disingenuine and full of melancholy.
"Yes, Y/N?"
I just looked at him, and my sympathy must have been misunderstood as pity as he suddenly stood up and spoke, "Don't do that."
"Do what?" I got up too, wanting to be on the same level as him.
"Give me that look o-of pity! Don't pity me, Y/N. I'm strong."
"I know that Garroth I just—"
"Just stop!" He exclaimed and although it wasn't loud enough for many other to hear, thank god, it had left me feeling scared for him. I just wanted him to be okay, dammit.
He left Aphmau's house, i quickly ran to the kitchen to say goodbye to Aphmau. I felt no need to expose Garroth to her so i came up with the classic "family emergency" excuse. Somehow, it worked and she allowed me to leave in my hurried state. Assuming Garroth went to his house, I ran over there as quickly as I could, which wasnt too hard considering I was a wolf, and knocked on the door. Unfortunately, it had been left open anyways so I peered in, seeing Garroth curled up on the couch, his ears drooping.
I walked in quietly and closed the door, although his long distance hearning abilities due to his new werewolf attachments heard me.
"Y/N please, i don't want your pity." I sat down on the floor just below him so i could see him face, although his eyes were looking at anything but myself, "Good thing I'm not here to give you pity, then."
His gaze softened and he spoke in a murmer, "Sorry for raising my voice." Tears were threatening to fall down his face, something he unfortunately looked like he was used to. I held his hands in mine, "Don't apologise. You're allowed to be upset, hell it would be abit odd if you weren't. No matter what ears you have, human or otherwise, or if you have a tail or not, you're always going to be my Garroth. This hasn't changed a thing."
His face tensed as tears cascaded down his cheecks, "You're too sweet to me... but no matter what you say, i know you don't understand. Not as well as you think you do. I'm never going to be the same Garroth i was because nobody will see me the same way. But i cannot handle the looks of pity i get..."
I kissed the backs of his hands, rubbing my thumbs soothingly against them, trying to add some sort of comfort that wasn't too invasive or overwhelming. The last thing i wanted was to drive him away. "Garroth, i understand more than you think i do."
He was still refusing to look at me, closing his eyes as he tried to prevent more tears from spilling. I allowed my ears and tail so show, I don't do it often so it felt foreign and hinestly, it was uncomfortable and way too vulnerable for my liking. But i knew it might help Garroth, and i was willing to take the chance.
"Look at me Garroth."
He didn't reply and instead jjst kept his eyes closed, "I said look at me." I tried to command, although it came out quietly and softly as I didn't want to add fuel to Garroth's fire.
He opened his eyes and — "what is this?"
"I.. am a werewolf. Well, a wolf. I was born one."
He was in a state of shock, "I didn't know.." I laughed uncomfortablely, "Yeah.. nobody does. I was ashamed, i got bullied by humans as a kid so much that my fear was domineering and I never really showed them. Having human parents adopt me didn't help either and they didn't understand me."
Garroth looked at me with a look that finally meant he understood, "You understand me because...you went through the lonliness and shame too." I nodded, "Garroth, I care so much about yoy to the point I can't sleep sometimes because of worry or out of happiness knowing I'll see you the next day or even just staying up thinking about how cute your stupid goofy smile is but—"
He gasped and I had thought i said too much and overstepped a boundary, "You think my smile is stupid and goofy?" He inquired dramatically and for the first time in a while, I laughed wholeheartedly, "Shut up, you know thats not what i meant!" "Well thats what you said!"
I smiled at his as our bickering dulled, "But seriously. I like you Garroth, more than a friend should, and you had me worrying so much but in reality, you're always going to be my Garroth to me, ears and a tail aren't gonna change that. Although they are devilishly cute."
He blushed and I removed my hands from his and wiped the tears off of his face. I kissed his cheek as he stuttered in response and merely kissed mine back. We didn't speak after, because words were not needed, the only thing were needed in that moment was eachother.

zane hates irene because she never answered to his prayers whenever he needed guidance. she never answered when he used to ask how could he become a better devotee to her. she never answered when he needed someone to talk to. she never answered when he was confused about why he was even doing this. why did he need someone to believe in? she never answered when he had nightmares of her. she never when he asked if she hated him. 
i think zane slowly began to come to terms with the fact that they should not depend on gods to save them. the illusion of irene the matron coming down to save them all was slowly fading and it died when he learned that she was no longer around. that she’s.. sleeping? she’s sleeping while there are people are praying to her to save them, to save their families, to save them from dying?
as a priest, he receives confessions and prayers from people who believe he has the power to talk to irene, to get her to help them. he’s recieved prayers of parents begging irene to save their dying child. from emanciated families who simply ask irene to give them a couple of gold coin. from older couples begging to help their children who are at war. from himself.. who just wanted to be loved by those he looked up to.
what is he supposed to do? how can he live in peace knowing he’s giving these people false hope? because if they don’t receive hope, if they don’t have a goddess to believe in when they feel like they cant control their destiny, who will they go to? how will they have the will to go on?
so it’s no surprise that suddenly, zane realized that irene was useless and undeserving of her title of goddess. if he were irene, if he were a god, he would help those in need.
if.. he were a god.
maybe if- maybe if he had irene’s relic he’d be a god. he would be as powerful as irene. he would help those in need. he would not sleep eternally. he would not abandon humanity.
this thought process is was really started to get zane’s thoughts going. in the beginning it was just wishful thinking. he didn’t really believe it was possible for him to become a god. only thing he did was research everything he could on relics and irene’s origins. it’s only that he realized there wasn’t information that he didn’t know about already. but no. there has to be more. there has to be some traces of irene that no one’s been able to find somewhere. maybe he’ll be the one to get it first.
from then on i think honestly it’s been zane actually losing it and becoming so obsessed with his research on irene and the idea of actually becoming a god getting closer that.. he lost his original goal in the first place.
when he first killed someone, or ordered someone to be killed, he almost couldn’t cope with it. he begged irene for forgiveness (which is ironic since he’s out to replace her), but it didn’t help. it just made the guilt worse and worse until a small voice in his head said, “does it matter? you’re going to become god to save many more lives. what’s the life of one person over the entirety of humanity.” the voice helped him rationalize his actions, albeit in a twisted manner, but… is he wrong? if he doesn’t find irene’s relic, more people will suffer. he has to do this as soon as possible or more lives will be lost and more people will lose hope.
garte also fits into this somehow. growing up, garte’s always lost any sort of pretense around zane. it’s why he’s so attached to him. his father trusts him enough to show his “ugliest” side. he must be special since garroth never got to see this. he’s never hidden the fact that he has killed many others from the smallest reasons to treason towards zane. perhaps in reality he doesn’t care or he knows that his action is keeping zane at his side but.
what im saying is- it’s not too shocking to zane about killing someone and not long after trying to rationalize it. garte showed him how its done, jf he can do it why can’t zane?
but anyway. i rlly like this a lot? i love villains who just lose their way and believe what they’re doing is just. they believe that they are the only ones who can do this because no one can. they believe they are in the right because their end goal is right! and i love it when they don’t realize how much they’ve changed from that initial goal. that what they have done.. was it really necessary? is it something they want??

This was supposed to be a timeline for all the mys ships that did/might happen in my rewrite(which isn't even started but shh). It ended up being just me ranting about mys!Garrance.
At first, it follows smh. But then. It's just me rambling. Well. It's me rambling in general.
tw for mentions of homophobia and smoking.
Now, now, i think i've been neglecting these two recently. Honestly I don't even remember how I started shipping them but I did, and years later here I am, still drawing and writing about gay block men.They're literally engaged in mys and no one is convincing me otherwise(<- this whole thing will get its own post eventually). Uhm, okay, now that I got that out of my system, maybe I should give some actual hcs.
◇ Garroth is a year older than Laurance.
◇ They used to be close friends when they were little(most of the mys cast knew eachother in childhood at some extent), but once they entered their teenage years they grew apart,and the fact that Garroth and his family moved away when Garroth started high-school not helping their situation.
◇ Garroth did his freshman year and a bit of his sophomore year in O'Kasis Academy, but due to not being able to fit in ended up moving to Phoenix Drops High(after a lot of complains and pleases from him and Zianna towards Garte).
◇ Well, when he got in PDH, Laurance has been there already for like half a year(he was a freshman), and was already hanging around the Shadow Knights, so as you may imagine Garroth and Laurance didn't really got to interact a lot.
◇ In that summer, Laurance and Gene broke up for unknown reasons. The entire school, of course, found out about that.
◇ Garroth did try to get closer to Laurance that year. It did not work.
◇ Laurance spent that year mostly alone, with the daily interruptions of some people who were trying to try their chances with him.
◇ They started finally getting closer again when the 'canon' started(Laurance's junior year, Garroth's senior year)
◇ Aph basically made them interact by befriending them both and making them sit together every single day.
◇ Regardless, Laurance and Garroth started hanging out together on their own not long after.
◇ Laurance fell first. Garroth fell harder.
◇ They never got together in high school, actually, though it was pretty obvious they liked each other.
◇ Originally, Garroth didn't even realise he caught feelings. Man was busy, ok? He was thinking about college, and besides, his father would NEVER accept one of his sons being queer-
◇ The realisation that he is, in fact gay hit him like a brick.
◇ Regardless, that's a subject for another time.
◇ Aph and Travis, the best wingmen EVER.
◇ They were hyping up Garroth's every move. It was very obvious what was happening, for everyone but Laurance, that is.
◇ Laurance had long rants about his 'secret crush'.
◇ it was not a secret.
◇ They were very in love. But a bit too stupid.
◇ Anyway. Garroth leaves for college next year(thankfully for him missing most of the Ein situation)
◇ Laurance weeps the entire year.
◇ He still finds ways to make Garroth visit though
◇ Be it complaining about forgetting his lunch and being too busy to go and get something for himself or being about cigarettes.
◇ Garroth, of course, 'falls for it' every time.
◇ Laurance finds out Garroth was planning on cutting off his family entirely(temporarily, he regains contact with Zianna and Vylad a bit later on. He litteraly wakes up with Zane going to a college close to his)
◇ Basically, he takes Laurance with him.
◇ But first, Garroth goes to his last family dinner for a while, Laurance there's to. Garte isn't pleased.
◇ Well, they clearly make an exit.
◇ They're dating at that point, sharing their first kiss in the car. Very romantic.
◇ While college they share an apartment somewhere close by.
◇ When they meet the rest of the cast ABSOLUTELY NO ONE is surprised that they're dating.
◇ Of course, after college, they move in together, somehow being persuaded by Dante to let him move in with them.
◇ They get engaged in Emerald Secret, I'll expand on that eventually.
◇ Pet names. A lot of them. From both sides.
◇ They don't do pda a lot because Garroth doesn't feel comfortable doing so, but behind close doors, Garroth IS the clingy one
◇ They're still holding hands almost 98% of the time,though
◇ It doesn't bother Garroth that much that Laurance smokes, but he still tries convincing Laurance to do it less and less.
◇ Which actually works because Laurance does smoke much less than he used to! He is trying to give up on it completely, not only for Garroth but himself. But of course, as any addiction, it's hard.
◇ Anyway. They aren't very jealous. Of course, there is some type of jealousy there, but it's rare, and they usually talk it out privately.
◇ Kisses.
◇ They are hyping up each other constantly.
◇ I just like them being happy, ok?
◇ As I said before, mys!Garroth is a dog person, mys!Laurance is a cat person.
◇ Yeah, so...Ungrth and Raven. Not so much of mystical creatures in this one, are they?
◇ Those two are their kids. They don't actually really want actual human kids. Not now, at least. Maybe later.
◇ Their idea of the best date is lying on the couch together with some snacks while watching crappy movies
◇ It's a bit hard when a certain someone is blasting music from the basement(cough Travis cough)
◇ They love him tho
◇ They also miss Dante sometimes(<- moved out eventually)
◇ Laurance knows how to play the guitar. I think you know what he has done with this ability.
◇ It was in private, though. Garroth might have sobbed a bit(/pos).
◇ Laurance also blasts music while he does his part of the chores. It's country music. It's the only time when he actively listens to it.
◇ Something about his fiancé and country music combined is very attractive to Garroth.
◇ mys!Garroth doesn't know how to cook(does not stop his from complaining about Laurance's way to do things tho, in a light-hearted manner, obvs). mys!Laurance is a very good cook.
◇ Garroth likes reading a lot. He sometimes reads to Laurance before sleep.
◇ They're eachothers comfort.
◇ Cadenza made it clear that if they ever have a wedding, SHE'LL design the suits. Of course, no one complained.
◇ Speaking of, the Zvhals adore Garroth.
◇ The Ro'Meaves. Uhm. Well. Garte dislikes Laurance. A lot. Zianna adores him, though! Vylad and Laurance are friends(I have yet to work on their dynamic in mys, so that's all I have for now). And then there's Zane. Mys!Zane and mys!Laurance are the best yet worst frenemies you'll ever meet.
◇ Speaking of, Garte hates more the fact that Garroth is dating Laurance than the fact that Garroth is gay.
◇ He got used to Garroth's 'queerness'. But not with Laurance.
◇ Laurance doesn't stand Garte either for obvious reasons.
◇ They went over for a family dinner once. Yeah. It was even worse this time.
◇When they first started dating, journalists were all over them. Garroth hated it, Laurance wouldn't have cared too much if it didn't bother Garroth.
◇They are being left relatively alone nowadays
Yeah, that's all I have for now. Thank you for actually reading all this, and pls ask me stuff about the cast or other ships. I'm always happy to rant about them or hear others do it

Reunions and Confessions
Garrancemau brainrot go brrrr
I watched the episode where Laurance comes back from the Nether and then I started feeling some things, and then this happened
Garroth was on his usual patrol around Phoenix Drop when he felt something... off. As he walked past the forest there was just an uneasy feeling, worse than the one he already had with Zane around. That feeling quickly turned into panic when Garroth saw a white light starting to come from beyond the trees. Without thinking he rushed towards it, hoping his worst fears weren't manifesting. Oh Irene, tell him it wasn't Zane doing something awful.
Instead when Garroth stumbled into the small forest clearing he saw a gold and black wyvern with decaying wings wrapped around the unconscious body of his old friend. Laurance had never looked worse, his hair was a burnt mess, his face was covered in black and purple markings that danced across his skin with a little too much life, and when Garroth got closer, he could tell he wasn't breathing.
"Laurance?!" Garroth nearly screamed, rushing forward and picking his hand up. No pulse.
"What happened?!" Irena cried out as she rushed to his other side.
"He's not breathing!"
"He's still alive," Ungrith gasped out. Irena hesitantly reached a hand out, and Ungrith used his remaining strength to put his claw in her hand.
"Ungrith, what happened?" She asked, desperately trying to keep her voice even as Garroth checked for proper signs of life.
"I-I did it." The wyvern smiled, even as more of the black and purple rot spread across his gold body. "I saved Laurance."
"Just hold on! I'll get you help--"
"Don't. Please."
"Why not?!"
"It would be... a waste of your time. It's too late for me, Irena."
"What did you do?"
"Something forbidden... I used my magic to break the realm barrier. And this is my punishment. Laurance saved my life when I was cast away from my home in a realm that was not my own, and now I have done the same." Ungrith lowered his head, and closed his eyes.
"Wait, please don't die!" Irena rushed forward to put her hands on his face, hoping she could do something to save him. The rot only spread as Ungrith let out a shaky breath.
"Worry not. Wyverns cannot die. One day I will be reborn in my own realm. I have brought Laurance home, and now I can go back to my home." His eye barely opened to look at her. "Promise me you'll protect him." Irena looked over at Garroth who had picked up Laurance's limp body and began carrying it to Phoenix Drop.
"I will. I promise. I won't let your sacrifice be in vain."
"Thank you..." His eyes closed, and his wings folded. Irena leaned forward to place a kiss to the last part of his body yet to be taken, the center of his forehead. And then, it took him. She backed up, and then turned away. No need to see his body decompose. Instead she dashed forward, running past Garroth and straight to the plaza.
"Zoey!" She called from the top of the staircase down. The elf looked back at her with clearly panicked eyes. She had felt what was happening even if she didn't see it. "I need your help with something." She just nodded, grabbing her medical supplies and following Irena to her home. They barely got the guest bed set up when Garroth appeared and lay Laurance on it carefully.
"Give me some time alone with him," Zoey instructed. "I don't do well with others watching."
"Of course. Thank you," Irena replied, pressing a kiss to Zoey's cheek before she turned away and followed Garroth downstairs. The two of them sat together on the hill overlooking Phoenix Drop in silence for some time. At some point Irena had interwoven their hands together, and despite his usual hang ups about physical contact, Garroth didn't voice any objection.
There was more to be done. Phoenix Drop was still growing, and Zane was still an active threat. Irena couldn't help but think of every little thing she could be doing in this moment. But she couldn't find it in herself to leave. Not until she knew Laurance was alive. He had to be. Then again, if he was alive...
"Garroth, we need to talk," Irena said calmly, though her tone was clearly uneasy.
"About Laurance?" He guessed, to which she nodded.
"If he is alive, he's probably a shadow knight."
"I think it's the only way someone could survive in the Nether."
"Do you think he would... Try to kill me?" Garroth sighed, wishing he could give her better assurances. He hated the tremble of fear in her voice.
"That I do not know. It all depends on how Laurance feels." He didn't need to say anything else. They had both seen how flirty Irena and Laurance were. They both knew how he felt.
"Irena?" Zoey called out. Irena instantly turned around and stumbled to her feet, meeting Zoey at the top of her staircase.
"How's Laurance? Is he alive?" She asked desperately.
"H-He's alive, thank Irene. But he's not in the best condition."
"What do you mean?"
"He clearly sustained multiple injuries in the Nether, and his body and magic is all messed up from traveling between realms. Worst of all though... Laurance has gone blind."
"What?!" Irena nearly ran downstairs to see him then and there.
"I believe it's a side effect of traveling between realms. A-And if it was caused by that, I have no idea how you'd undo it." Zoey held Irena's hand tenderly, hating herself for the tears starting to build up in her friends eyes. "I'm sorry, I wish I could give you better news."
"Is he awake?"
"Yes... When he first woke up he called for you, and when you didn't respond, he started to panic. I only managed to make him calm down by assuring him that you're alive."
"I'm going to go talk to him."
"Thank you, Zoey. For everything." Irena kissed her other cheek this time, earning a slight giggle from the elf. The two finally broke away from each other, and Irena almost held her breath as she walked upstairs. The instant she saw Laurance she rushed to his side, nearly crashing into the bed as she knelt next to him. "Laurance?"
"Please know that Laurance is incredibly unstable right now. He's scarred both physically and mentally, and might not be quite the man you remember." Zoey pressed a kiss to the back of Irena's hand before letting it go. "I'm going to go speak to Emmalyn and see if she can help me come up with anything to help him."
"Irena?" He gasped out, instantly followed by coughing. Irena reached into her bag and pulled out a glass bottle of water, but when she tried to hand it to him, Laurance simply took her hand instead. "Irena, I can't see you."
"I'm here, Laurance. I'm right here." She gladly set anything aside to hold his hand in that moment. Just to feel some level of life coming from him. "You're safe. You're in Phoenix Drop."
"I know. You wouldn't be this calm if we were anywhere else." Irena let out a small laugh, making Laurance's hand relax. "It's nice to hear your laughter. I was really worried about you."
"I-I'm fine. But you... What happened?" Laurance tensed up a little more, his breathing suddenly heavy.
"I can't even begin to describe the pain becoming a shadow knight causes physically, mentally, and spiritually."
"I'm so sorry--"
"Don't, please." Laurance lolled his head to the side and gave her a weary smile. It was unnerving to see his whited out eyes. "I'd much rather be here with you and have no sight, than be there and able to see."
"B-But you wouldn't have--"
"Please, don't take the blame for my choice. I'm far more relived that you're alive."
"I'm relieved you're alive too. I was really worried about you." Laurance squeezed her hand before he let out a weary laugh.
"Can I... talk to you about something?"
"Anything."
"I-I wasn't... I became a shadow knight against my will. I held desperately onto my humanity by thinking of you." Now that he had started, Laurance knew he couldn't stop. "You were the main thing that kept me sane while I was in that awful place."
"W-wait, Laurance, are you--"
"I'm in love with you Irena. A-And I don't expect anything to come of this, heck I don't even expect you to feel the same way. It would be selfish of me to think so. I don't know what the future holds for me, or what will happen if I turn. But I needed you to know that before I lost more than my sight." Laurance wove their fingers together, and the smile on his face was one of the most genuine expressions of love Irena had seen.
"Laurance I..." She couldn't think of what to say. She knew how Laurance felt from very early on, and yet she didn't care. She actually... liked having someone that admired her. But hearing such a heartfelt confession made it feel like so much more. She remembered the pain she felt when Laurance shoved her forward and insisted he would stay and fight. If she were in the same situation, she probably would have done the same for him. That was enough.
"I don't expect you to--"
"I think I love you too." Laurance froze for a moment. He may have said all those romantic words, but he was seriously pissed he didn't have his sight in that moment. He wanted nothing more than to see her face, to know she was being serious. That she wasn't just saying that for his sake.
"Y-You do?"
"I think I do." Irena let out a nervous laugh. "I don't quite know how love works but... When I talked to you I felt something like how it's been described to me. I-I don't know how to be in love but..." She glanced down at Laurance and smiled tearfully. It was so relieving just to see him alive again, even if he wasn't in the best shape. "I'm willing to try it with you." His smile somehow only grew bigger, and his grip on her hand tightened considerably.
"I-I can't even put into words how happy you've made me. I only wish I could see your beautiful face for myself."
"We'll find a way to fix this, I promise."
"You don't have to." Laurance squeezed her hand. "I'm content to love you even like this. As much as I'd like to kiss you, I understand you have your reservations on that. I'm grateful that you even consider me worthy of having by your side."
"After everything you've done for me, I'd say a kiss is the least I can give you." Irena leaned over, and while she could see Laurance's lips expectantly waiting, she pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead before pulling away. "Get some rest, okay?"
"Yes, my lady." Irena giggled, before letting go of his hand and standing up. Even if his eyes weren't working, she could tell he was trying to follow her based on sound. Maybe that meant her footsteps were a little heavier on the stairs as she left, maybe she was just exhausted after a long and emotionally tiring day. Who's to say?

The OP of the Halloween trick or treating post again. Here's another excuse to talk about your fic stuff! And whatever other stuff you may want to talk about! Have fun! Bye!
Hi! Thanks for the chance to let me talk about the fic again. This is a few days late but writers block is kicking my ass and I didn’t know what to talk about. But I came up with something!
I’m gonna be talking about the weird dynamic MCD!Garroth and Zenix had. When they first met, it was pretty soon after Garroth ran away and he was still reeling with the loss of his siblings. Technically only one of them was dead but Zane still wasn’t the best so Garroth had effectively lost both of his siblings. He met Zenix, someone who, in Garroth’s eyes, was young (roughly looked the same age as Vylad but never gave his real age), rash, immature, but seemingly a good person at his core because why else would someone who admittedly had a talent for fighting be a guard in a village as rundown as Phoenix Drop. Garroth himself only chose the village because it was so out of the way. So Garroth, thinking that while Zenix was talented, his fighting style was still really unrefined, so he decided to act as a mentor of sorts. This eventually became Garroth basically treating Zenix as… I guess “substitute younger brother” for the two he’d lost would be the best way to put it. He wasn’t doing this consciously, but the way Garroth acted towards Zenix was him trying to juggle being Zenix’s boss and basically a teacher, with trying to be someone Zenix could rely on for more personal stuff. Which would be nice in theory if not for two big things. MCD! Garroth was going through way too many issues internally to express the kind of emotional vulnerability required for that kind of bond. At least not towards anyone he hadn’t already known for a while. Which leads to a lot of Garroth’s attempts at getting closer to Zenix to be a lot more stilted. The fact he was trying to (to some subconscious degree) using that relationship to deal with his issues about his brothers didn’t help.
Second, Zenix just didn’t like being treated like that. There’s no real other way to put it. Due to the issues that Zenix had thanks to the backstory that was made for him in this fic, he really didn’t like being treated that way by Garroth. Zenix actually saw it as Garroth being condescending towards him. Which culminated in Zenix’s betrayal of Phoenix Drop. Mind you he did that for other reasons but his dislike of Garroth didn’t help.
also! Please feel free to take a candy of your choice! Please only take one though.

Thinking about my rewrite:
The Ro’meave siblings mostly grew up attending the religious academy School of Gold (<- temporary name). A school located in the heart of O’Khasis and which taught the teachings of the Divine Warriors, primarily focusing on Irene the Matron and Edmund the Protector.
Now, all three siblings had pretty decent grades (it was kinda required after all). But while Garroth was the golden child of the family, Zane was the golden student.
Zane constantly made straight As and even had the best attendance. And while it certainly didn’t participate in any sports or clubs, Zane made it up by helping out the school’s own priest after school. It loved learning about the Divine Warriors and took any lessons involving them extra seriously.
Both Garroth and Vylad were A-B students. But Vylad had an attendance that almost rivaled Zane's while Garroth missed a lot of days (at least during the early years of school, he missed less days once he entered 6th grade).
Vylad took their studies seriously of course, though there wasn't really any subjects they tried extra hard at. Naturally, like most people of Ru’aun, they found the stuff with the Divine Warriors and Vylad even had a miniature statue of Irene in their room. The required study of the Divine Warriors is what lead to Vylad mediating and what awoken their interest in traveling & anthropography (and what would’ve been the reason why they majored in geography in university if it wasn’t for the Shadow Knight Incident)
Due to constantly missing school, Garroth had to study a lot than the average student to keep up with his fellow classmates and siblings. It didn’t help that Garte put him into youth fencing lessons either, which was where Garroth met Laurance (but they wouldn’t become friends until high school, mind you).
The three siblings attended School of Gold until Garroth’s summer between his 8th grade and 9th grade years. At that point, Garte and Zianna decided to transfer Garroth to Phoenix Drop High. Garte and Garroth moved closer to PDH while Zianna, Zane, and Vylad stayed in O’Khasis. Of course, this arrangement only last a little bit, eventually (and inspire of it’s protests) Zane was forced to transfer over to PDH once it graduated from 8th grade. Of course, with Vylad being moved up a grade, they also got transferred over to Phoenix Drop High. The Ro’meaves only stayed in the house near PDH during the school year, during the summer they would head back to O’Khasis.
While at PDH Vylad’s and Garroth’s grades didn’t really change much. Though, Phoenix Drop High didn’t have a fencing team, so Garroth settled on trying to get on the soccer team (which he did). However, while Vylad were still an A-B student, their school attendance began to drop after they met & became friends with Sasha and Zenix. While Zane’s attendance was as perfect as normal throughout its time at PDH, after a year of being at PDH, due some mental health stuff and with teachers not really incorporating the Divine Warrior into their lessons, Zane lost interest and it’s grades began to drop. Zane went from a straight A student to a C-D student.

A Dance Under The Stars A Garroth/Zoey Oneshot
Summary: Garroth and Zoey share an impromptu dance as night falls.
Helpful Context: A moment from my rewrite. Takes place sometime around season two, near the end or post. Lynn is the name Lillith Garnet has in my rewrite (her full name being Lauralynn Garnet), and while Garroth and Aphmau are coparenting they are not romantically involved at this point
While I didn’t incorporate Aphmau seeing it, thank you @freddiefagbearsdiner for plaguing me with the wonderful image of Garroth and Zoey dancing
The stars were just appearing across the sky as Garroth and Zoey made their way down the path from Aphmau’s house, having just joined her and Lynn for dinner. The night was peaceful and the town below them was quiet, most noises they heard coming from the wind and wildlife.
Garroth was usually one for silence, he enjoyed the clarity it provided his senses, but something about being with Zoey made him want to speak, “I’m sure Aphmau already told you, but dinner was wonderful,”
Zoey gave him a small smile, wondering when she would get sick of compliments to her cooking, “Thank you, it’s always nice to know it truly is enjoyed,”
“Your cooking actually reminds me of my mother’s, it’s...it’s nice,” Nice did not begin to describe the nostalgia Zoey’s dishes occasionally captured, but it was the only word that Garroth could think of.
“Really? Was she a big cook?” Zoey nearly pounced into the opportunity to learn about Zianna, memories of her always seemed to bring Garroth more joy than pain compared to the rest of his family and her bloodline was truly fascinating.
“Oh yes, she practically lived in the kitchen. It...it was her happy place I think,” Garroth’s words trailed near the end, voice getting a little quieter as bittersweet memories from the kitchen flickered through his mind.
Zoey could feel the sad edge to the statement, something rustling just under the surface which she would help him face another day, “Did she ever teach you how to make anything?”
“No, not for a lack of trying though. I...I just never took that time. My days were often filled with lessons and the free time I did have I just...I didn’t want to spend it in the kitchen so she always cut me loose,” Garroth tried to keep his tone light, as if he was making fun of the restlessness of his child self, but the regret plaguing his words was hard to miss.
“Was there anything she did teach you?” Zoey tried to pull him away from the feeling, hoping whatever he could think of might bring a smile to his eyes.
“...Dancing. She was...very insistent we all learn how to properly dance with a girl. I was somehow the best at it between the three of us,” Garroth didn’t think that was all too impressive though, considering how Vylad had nearly lost a tooth and Zane could never stop stepping on people’s toes.
However Zoey’s interest was piqued, part of her wondering why she had never even considered the fact he would have skills like that, “You know how to dance? Ballroom dance I’m assuming?”
“If I remember any of it, yes,” Garroth doubted he did, at least doubted he remembered anything beyond simple steps.
“...Will you dance with me?” Zoey stopped in the middle of the flat part of the path, suddenly overcome with a need to see this man dance like a noble.
Garroth had to turn back and step over to where she had suddenly stopped, a look of confusion on his face from her request, “Here? Now?”
Zoey nodded, this was the flattest part of the pathway down and was safe from foot traffic because of the time, anyone coming up would be doing so because of an emergency, “Yes here, yes now. I want to see how good you are,”
“I-I can’t just start dancing, I would need some music,” Garroth stammered out his reasoning, still not over the nearly out of the blue request he doubted he could fill.
Zoey reached out and tugged him a step closer, determined to get him to dance, “That is a problem I can solve,”
Zoey rested a hand on his shoulder and pulled one of his hands into a waltzing position and then started singing to continue to try and get him to dance with her. The song was an Elvish one, he was able to make out the occasional word from what Zoey had been teaching him but most of it held no meaning to him. Her efforts were rewarded thoughts he finally relented, his other hand resting on her waist as he tried to fall into the flow of the song and give her the dance she had somehow roped him into.
And so they danced. Garroth knew it was not his best, probably for a large variety of reasons ranging from their ballroom floor being an uneven path to years of rust on the skill. He couldn’t help but think if he was back in O’Khasis the dance wouldn’t have lasted three steps before getting corrected and criticized to the point of insult, but he wasn’t in O’Khasis. He was with Zoey. She didn’t seem to mind any of the mistakes, a smile clear on her face as she continued to sing after they had found a beat.
Even when Zoey had stopped singing, the song being done or the rest of the words escaping her, they still slowly swayed. The hand that was rested on her hip was now instead an arm wrapped around her waist that had pulled her a step closer to him, while her hand placed at his shoulder had turned into an arm wrapped around his neck with her head placed against his chest. Their other arms were no longer held in the rigid position for the ballroom style dance, instead held loosely at their sides with their hands more comfortably intertwined together. The moment felt nice, felt solid.
“You have a beautiful voice,” Zoey felt Garroth’s chest move with his words, though he said them soft enough to where only she would hear if they had an audience.
The compliment made her heart feel warm, she had heard the exact same and similar variations of it throughout her whole life but something about it coming from him felt so powerful, “You’re a good dancer, didn’t even step on my toes,”
Garroth let out a soft laugh, the fact he was able to clear the low bar was nice at least, “I’m sure you’ve danced with better,”
“No, I don’t think so,” Zoey shook her head enough for Garroth to feel, her hand squeezing his as they continued to sway to no music, “No dance has ever felt better than this,”
Their soft swaying eventually also stopped, leaving them standing and leaning into each other under the rising moonlight. Zoey was the one who started to move away first, lifting her head from Garroth’s chest and loosening her arm from around his neck. He started loosening his own arm from around her waist, however Zoey’s hand moving to his cheek caused him to pause.
He met her eyes and was able to understand the silent questions that this was. He wondered if she didn’t dare say it out of fear, thinking he would reject her and it would harm the moment they were sharing. That was not the case, he leaned into her hand and a little bit downwards, asking his own silent questions of Meet me? Kiss me?
And she did. She lifted herself enough to brush their noses together and pressed their lips together. The kiss was soft, simple even. There was no desperation or fear laced into it, nothing looming over them other than the night sky. It was nice, it filled Garroth with the feeling of ease Zoey always seemed to fill him with and his arm securing itself around her waist brought Zoey the feeling of safety Garroth was always able to provide.
The moment was truly far from ruined, it was now rooted securely into their hearts as something to remember, to cherish. Though it did have to end, both of them pulling away and taking slow breaths and pink cheeks. Garroth wasn’t quite ready to let go of the moment though, leaning down just a little more to press their foreheads together.
Zoey didn’t want it to end either, it felt too good to end now and she felt comfortable enough with taking a risk to keep it, “If you...if you’d like, you could spend the night with me. Stay the night, stay for breakfast, and then we can do your elvish lesson,”
“That...that would be nice,” Once again the word nice seemed to fall flat compared to what he really meant, but from the smile on her face he thinks she understands anyway.
They finally separated, arms unwrapping from around each other but hands still intertwined as they continued down the hill and towards Zoey’s house. Something new had just started. They would talk about it in the morning, perhaps even share another kiss, but for tonight they would find comfort in how this felt easy despite being scary, unlike so many things in their lives. It wasn’t even that becoming something together was what felt scary, so maybe it wasn’t scary at all. Maybe they just had to learn how to feel excited again.

I know I've been posting a lot and I'm sure some of you are tired of my pfp and username but I keep having a lot of ideas so excuse me for being slightly unhinged. Regarding the time skip in my version, it'll still happen because I honestly think it'll show more of C!Aphmau's personality. Except it'll be shorter, like 5 minutes/years. Shad has a bigger role earlier on by masking himself as a messenger of Irene for Zane. giving him a role as a false prophet. In reality, it was to get close to Zane and Garroth as he already made Vylad into a Shadow Knight (rewritten version, Vylad died way younger and was made into a Shadow Knight. I think since Zane and Garroth are descendants of Esmund, Vylad was used by Shad to get even closer to the two. Vylad was able to age until he was in his late 20s.). I mention this because he then possesses Garroth, similarly to the brainwashing in the original plot expect Zane would already but like "okay wait actually this sucks what am I doing" or whatever. The same thing follows out where Shad/Garroth is acting really strange and when they all group together to basically have some sort of intervention and follow Garroth into the woods... yeah, except more of the central cast is there. (Aphmau, Katelyn, Laurance, Dante, Zane, KC/Nana, Lucinda, and Emmalyn + Kenmur since they were there originally.) [ THIS SECTION OF HOW IT HAPPENS IS STILL A WIP. ] While in the Irene Dimension, Shad doesn't need Garroth anymore since he was just a ploy, and as Emmalyn and Kenmur try to come up with a way to get out as quick as possible (IF possible), the rest of the crew has to hold off Shad. Garroth is still a bit dazed because of .... possession.
Garroth, getting Esmund's relic, is able to fend off the others by fighting off Shad. That's when Zoey gives up her immortality to get them out and Garroth is left behind. Essentially the same thing. Once they get out, it seems Phoenix Drop is still in a good condition despite all of the guard and lord disappearing, turns out, Dale came out of retirement to take over as head guard again and Aaron has taken over as temporary lord. (By this point, I would assume Aaron has shared his name and gotten closer with Aphmau.) Aphmau is distraught by being gone for five years while it was only five minutes for her, leaving her children behind. Of course, she goes straight to them and holds them. She later talks to Aaron about lordship, and they both agree they should be co-lords if something happens to the other or if Aphmau gets in another situation similar to the Irene Dimension incident. Emmalyn and Kenmur try to find a way to get Garroth out of the dimension, Zane is engulfed with self-hatred and guilt... So forth. This is still a wip on how it plays out. If you have any questions about the characters (as I am reworking them currently), please ask! And feel free to ask specifics, it honestly let's me consider things I never have :]

Oh 100%.
Mostly because he finds out by literally finding Laurence wandering the woods looking for help. Laurence is still the son of Meteli, if someone could get him there he’d be alright. Plus, O’khasisians think of Meteli as a dumb hick town, so it’s highly unlikely Zane would set his sights on there. (It’s not true, but hey, why would they correct them? No village smaller than it wants O’khasis in their shit.)
Laurence does have money (and a horse. Sorry Kiki.) on him, so Garroth could possibly secure himself an escape method to Meteli if he can figure out how long it’d take to get there. Zenix’s skelehorse Pigglesworth can easily carry him and Laurence and it doesn’t need to eat, so it’s not like he has to abandon them for that possible route.
“I’ve given you weeks, and you still haven’t found him?!” Zane’s voice echoed off the plastered purple walls of Aphmau’s home.
“No.” Aphmau confirms, choking down the desire to strike the bastard down. “He’s good at hiding.”
“Perhaps.” Zane muses, “or, perhaps, someone is intentionally letting him slip past them. maybe someone not taking this whole arrangement very seriously.”
“What?” Aphmau tensed. She’d done everything she was asked! What the hell else could the high priest want?!
“I wish hadn’t come to this, I truly do.” Zane feigned remorse, raising a gesturing hand that drew his guards to step closer. “I suppose, since you’ve failed to produce results, your dear fiancé will be paying the price-“
“No, no, lady Aphmau, Don’t-“ Laurence is hasty go grasp at his Lord and hold her back. He didn’t need his eyes to tell the way she drew in a sharp breath meant trouble.
The High Priest of Okasis laughed, short and sharp.
“Our friend, here, will be exiled for the foreseeable future.” He chirps
“Don’t do anything stupid.” Laurence whispered to Aphmau, as one of the guards grabbed him by his shoulder.
“Don’t worry, my friend,” Zane spoke sugary-sweetly, stirring his long-forgotten tea with his finger, while the guard pulled Laurence along. “he’ll be allowed to return soon enough… so long as you deliver.”
Aphmau dug her nails into the wooden table. She breathes, and through gritted teeth, she grunts “Understood.”

Not my best work, but I thought I’d try xD

sorry for the delay I’ve been really busy lately but it’s here now!!
STUFF I DIDNT LIKE ABOUT PDH SEASON 1:-
• ya theres nothing good to mention here
• Before the door opens Aph keeps mentioning a crowd that doesn’t exist. where is the crowd?? When the doors open she says k let’s go with the crowd now- girl I hate to break it to you but you’re the only one moving
• I JUST NOTICED THIS but when Aphmau uploads her pic on instagram she’s got 283000 on there. wayyy to many for a homeschooled loner who just has this one online friend. we get it she’s the protag but please
• LAURANCE MY BELOVED
• finally a season where he actually exists
• this school has enough budget to continually replace broken windows in the werewolf class but not enough to get a sane principal or a decent healthy plotline
• sdhjshdh pdh zane’s voice
• KC. WHAT IS HER CHARACTER HERE. also technically since Aphmau and Aaron are real people in the aphverse she’s shipping real people?? And shes been shipping them here in pdh, where they have almost a four year age gap which is NOT HEALTHY. Not to mention that as always she has like no character development
• SPEAKING OF THE FOUR YEAR AGE GAP WHAT WAS THAT. we get it it happened the same way for you irl you wanted to promote aarmau as the main ship but let’s be real there were SO MANY WAYS that could’ve gone better. they could’ve had a smaller age gap or gotten together after pdh when their both more mature and understanding of their own wants and needs in a relationship. Putting it here, where aphmau is completely oblivious and innocent and aaron is gonna graduate by the end of the year ISNT HEALTHY and MAKES NO SENSE from a plot standpoint. also I’m pretty sure Aaron was held back a year WHICH MEANS HES 18-19 AND TRYING TO GET WITH APHMAU WHO IS 14-15!!! YA WTF JESS??!!
• I’m sorry lmao the knocking when Aphmau discovers Aaron is fc
• Dante is a cheater and this is also somehow ok. why doesn’t Travis or Aphmau tell him it’s wrong. how are they good friends if they let him do it even till mys s2 and don’t say anything even after that
• Vylad is a whole mood right there
• that weird dream that Aphmau keeps getting of ??irene?? telling her to confess to aaron makes no sense but was probably foreshadowing mys s4, s5 and s6 since I’m pretty sure aaron was a werewolf in the dream and aph was using the irene voice tho idk if jess thought this far ahead from here itself. any other theories that you all have??
• lol Zane is on FIRE at the ro’meave dinner he’s not gonna let Garroth have anything and i love it
• tho garroth kissing aphmau without consent was probably not the best way to get your feelings across just sayin :/
• same with laurance honestly,,, stop kissing her randomly thanks
• why does Aphmau keep leading garroth and laurance on like that?? It took like 20 episodes for the guys to put their foot down and for Aphmau to realize what she was doing had bad consequences
• I miss jeffory this is one of the rare moments we get to see him
• Gene calling Aphmau kitty could be taken in a number of ways and each one gets progressively worse. she’s uncomfortable with it that’s clear and i feel like this shouldn’t have been the way gene showed that he wasn’t nice
• Aphmau constantly gets meif’wa to follow her for mouse toys. why are they treated this way?? can I call that meif’wa racism?? why are they portrayed as (somewhat) airheads who love mouse toys and will do anything for them can we portray them in a nicer way with yknow actual unique features of their own
• teony is so underrated but I love her she’s best girl
• all of Aphmau‘s friends are ok with aphmau getting closer to Aaron like DO NONE OF THEM SEE THE AGE GAP
• it would’ve been nice to see janus and lillian some other characters that werent best friends with Aphmau. yes there’s Zane and Gene but they’re antag for like one episode each and you can’t seriously tell me that the whole of the remaining school body loves Aphmau and is on good terms with her
and thats about it. as always if I think of more points I’ll edit them in
no I did not put too much jo9 content, you’re too much jo9 content
thanks for reading!! <3 <3

royal tales - episode 1
basic plot:
group of young royals gathered in kingdom but surpise they have to get married in three months. meanwhile, cinderjenny meets some fairytale knockoffs and gets dragged into becoming a royal for a day
Characters:
Nicole??? She has literally one line but she's here???
Aph is just kind of there. knowing her she gets more important 
Im not mad at Katelyn as Hercules/Heracles but its a weird choice if Jesson is using Disney Movie logic
KC is so pretty!!!
Garroth Charming. Yup yep sure is Garroth
who are these background royals? sure, some of them look like discount disney characters but then there's Prince Ethan.
King Zor and wife. He says yall. Ig. 
god of love travis is an icon and a treasure. 
Cinderjenny my beloved!! She's s bit bland so far but it fits the trope she's supposed to be
Omar's very lovely but he's misplaced? I know he's supposed to be discount aladdin but this is a vaguely european medieval town and he's the only person dressed inappropriately for the climate. His introduction presents him as a skilled pickpocket yet he stands out like a sore thumb. 
Gene as a discount Flynn Rider is pretty spot on. However it makes me think that his full name is Eugene and I will, in fact, be considering it canon for the rest of the series
That's Anna. Thats Anna from Frozen. Literally just the same character with no edits. Jesson has an arsenal of underused characters and went with Anna from Frozen as a recurring character. 
Critiques:
The premise makes no sense tbh. Someone infodumps that everyone in the room is eighteen and can take the throne, but there are a few dozen eligible royals? How are they all exactly the same age? How many kingdoms are there? How does the line of succession work? Are they all firstborns born the same time? Huh?
How are they this bad at telling us character names?
Pretty sure they were trying to display that Garroth and Zane aren't related in this series by giving Garroth notably different parents, but they're just Garte and Zianna with a swapped color scheme. Hell, King Zor has a closer resemblance to both Garroth and Zane then their actual parents do.
Zane has not appeared yet. 
Breakdown:
Its an okay start but it's definitely not the strongest? The skins are pretty good but there was more thought put into capitalizing on trends than actually writing a decent plot. The MacGuffin hasn't even been mentioned yet but there's already some major issues in the plot that could be resolved really easily by not going with the first draft.

i want to make it expressantly clear that i love and live for a lot of MCD, but as with everything i have my criticisms.
which i will be expressing
because its fun.
anyways, ein time.
right off the bat, i will say that ein was shoehorned into the series, seemingly because jess didnt want to antagonize her husband's self insert character (aaron) and/or her own self insert character (aphmau) which would have been COOL AS HELL to see aaron become the main antagonist with ein as a side antagonist, and i wouldn't have complained if aphmau didnt even end up with anybody at the end because of the trauma of someone she loved being evil.
but this is an ein rant, so lets talk about ein.
like i said, ein was shoehorned into the series and its extremely annoying. i didnt like him from the beginning, and for that i think he should have been a smaller side villian, rather than being the big main villian.
ein's motives are off as hell too, like i get the whole yandere complex thing he's got going on but i dont think thats how it would go down for a genuine yandere (while keeping it somewhat child friendly-), i think the way he would do it would be that he would completely isolate aphmau from everyone through threats and stuff, with slim to no help from others; and then aaron or garroth or maybe even laurance (or all of them) could collectively realize "hey, this guy is trying to isolate aphmau so he's the only one there for her and thats sus asf" and they all correlate and say "hey, ein is trying to isolate aphmau from her friends and thats really fucking weird, we should confront him"- and so they do, and they end up in a fight in the gym (like in the last epsiodes of pdh season 2, but without the other guy there before i can't remember his name right now), and thats also where we can witness garroth's wack ass strength for the first time.
it would be super cool to see ein as a concept in mcd, but as a minor villian. it would be insanely cool to see zane as the main villian still in mcd and ein as one of his pawns like ivy was, but probably earlier in the series.
like he could be one of the new villagers in phoenix drop as a spy for zane, and ask to be a guard in the process so he can get closer to aphmau and therefore learn more.
as a side note: i think aaron would be much better suited half werewolf in the mcd rebirth, but still a descendant from shad (like his mom is a human, his dad is a werewolf dont ask me how it works) and it would explain his lone wolf nature (no pun intended) other than the fact that his villlage was destroyed and yk. he would probably just hide his ears most of the time, and we would only find out he's a werewolf when aphmau gets him to trust her enough.
anyways, in mystreet he could have been done better. I like the whole forever potions thing, but since they're just a remix of the originals i think they should be less potent (like they wont last as long or whatever. and ein as a whole can be revised to be this absolutely infuriated psychopathic man, because of aaron. aaron could be his main target to kill, and he could want to get aphmau under the effect of a forever potion so he could control her to not love aaron anymore, but he makes her stay put and he goes out and faces aaron himself while using aphmau as leverage like "if you kill me, she'll never be able to love you again" all dramatic n shit
anyways, this has been another rant
tl;dr: ein could be better.

idk what im gna do with the 15 year timeskip.
i do wna keep it fifteen years but i wna change the time in the irene dimension and make it longer. i was thinking the main cast was stuck in the dimension for five years? possibly?
making it one year is three years outside.
imo, it’d help for character development or getting the main cast closer to each other bc they’re all pretty close when they leave the dimension despite all getting together pretty recently when irene dimension opened.
the problem is i have no idea what would go down? my first thought is spending it being hunted down by zane and garroth before garroth snaps out of it, which is like… after the first few months.
but wouldn’t that be a bit too much? spreading a hunt for five years?
it’d be funny if the irene dimension was just them entering mystreet
maybe they spend their time being hunted while also trying to find an escape from the dimension- maybe explore bc i rlly want it to be a huge place full of both beautiful nature but also destruction bc wasnt the irene dimension made just to fight shad? wouldn’t there be evidence of said fight?
dude i have no idea what to do- my ideas seem so small compared to the shit i want to do o(-(

@blupple-pie​ Did you ask for a drabble? No? To bad you get one! I like to call this one “Laurence realizing he is fighting a child [Not clickbait]” --
Laurence wouldn’t call himself a particularly... paranoid person. He’s cautious and careful- maybe a bit more distrustful to newcomers then everyone else but it isn’t like his distrust is unfounded. Everyone is a bit on edge, even if on the surface it seems like nothing has changed. Zane is plotting... something,  admittedly he hasn’t fully been paying attention. His shadow knight self is getting harder to control, but he isn’t giving in yet. He needs to be on his A game right now with everything going down, he can’t afford any mistakes. 
When the sounds of a portal first appear, it doesn’t register as portal noises to begin with. Portals aren’t very common, so at first he just believes it to be just background noises. It wasn’t until he heard rustling in the bushes that it finally clicks that someone is in the woods. Quietly, he puts on his helmet and readies his sword as he inches his way to the noise. As he approaches the noise, it stops for a moment before he hears a higher pitched... someone let out a startled noise and pop their head out from behind the bushes. 
Laurence reacts immediately, lunging at the person, he dives low and kicks his foot out to trip them- nearly immediately drawing a sword to the persons neck without his brain catching up with his movement, running on muscle memory and instinct. 
“H-Hey now! Put down that sword big man we can talk about this!” The voice says, and it catches Laurence off guard how young he sounds and for the first time this (pretty pathetic) fight, Laurence actually looks at his opponent. Bright yellow hair, blue eyes that somehow are both bright and dull (Laurence almost entertains the idea that this kid is related to Garroth), scars litter his face with the most noticeable being a jagged one over his nose as well as a bit of a baby face. 
“How old are you?” Laurence says, curiosity seeping into his more stern tone.
“I’m a big man!” The possible kid says, a bit of panic seeping into his voice when Laurence brings the sword closer, “It was a joke-” He forces himself to laugh, very clearly trying to calm down his panic, “I’m 16,” The kid says and Laurence almost chokes on his breath. 
He tried to kill a 16 year old!? Irene above Aphmau was not going to be happy about this.
