he’s pissed & needs to be kissed.
once i saw somebody on a diff platform say that the sk’s hair floats slightly when transformed & i really liked that idea so i tried to emulate it

ok i feel like Laurance’s skill level is so overlooked/forgotten in MCD fr. like let us not forget that he was Meteli’s head guard… and he was LITERALLY IN LINE FOR A SPOT ON THE JURY? HELLO?! not to mention his definite enhancements after his transformation. I NEED TO READ A GNARLY LAURANCE FIGHT SCENE. i know he is more lean and not as burly as Garroth, but i have always felt like he has a nimbleness and unique and clever fighting style. like give me Laurance using speed and agility and stealth and the terrain to his advantage RIGHT NOW. I need it. somebody write it. i beg. i’m rolling on the floor foaming at the mouth and barking and dying.
like you cannot tell me that man doesn’t fight dirty but in the most graceful way possible. HE WASNT A JURY CANDIDATE FOR NOTHINGGGG. like give me Laurance surprising the enemy by dropping down from a tree. give me a Laurance that is renowned for his ability to catch people off guard with his attacks and fighting methods. i will die on this hill.

thoughts on this, troops? council, even?
laurance who is absolutely INCONSOLABLE after the events of the werewolf wedding. the moment he comes back to his senses, to his human form, he has but a tiny moment of stillness as he looks around himself at the carnage… and then he’s gone. he wails. it’s an awful, keening sound that nobody has heard from him since he’d been blind on a bed under zoey’s care. he can’t think, he’s shouting in horror: apologies, curses, the lot. his hands are in his hair, his voice is already growing hoarse. he’s for the first time experiencing the horror and the evil that resulted from losing himself to the stronger, inhuman darkness inside. he is sick. he cannot take it.
katelyn, having been freed by a frazzled queen ylva, knocks him out. at first, when she arrives at the scene of the ceremony, she gags. she has a strange confliction in her mind: she’s both relieved that they can escape, but terrified by the wretched way that freedom was gained. in seconds, she steels herself, and swiftly addresses the situation. she saw that rendering him unconscious was the most efficient way to handle his current state. they would figure it out later. right then, they only needed to leave the castle.
a short time after, when he is awoken before they begin their leave through the tunnels beneath the castle, he is shell-like. he doesn’t speak. his eyes have an interminable guilt within them. he follows along efficiently, wishing not to cause any more issues. he’s digging his nails into his palms. he feels disgusted in his own skin; in his own mind. for a moment he thinks: katelyn is strong enough to protect aphmau, maybe he should stay back and give himself up to the eastern tribe for what he’d done. he shakes the thought away, despite how much he may believe it.
it’s brought up to him days later by both aph and katelyn, when they had grown sick of the silence. they discuss before him the risks of what measures the eastern tribe will take: will they want him held accountable? will they track him down? has he jeopardized their goals? now he is conflicted. yet again, he has had villainy placed upon himself at none of his own fault, purely out of an instinct to protect. he wonders how much longer he will last.
they decide to drop the subject. laurance hasn’t slept for three days since the wedding. he won’t eat. eventually somebody caves. one of them reaches to him. places an hand on his shoulder as they travel.
“do you think-” he whispers, “do you think i could ever deserve forgiveness?”
he doesn’t get an answer.
and maybe that hurts the most.

Laurance Zvahl/MCD headcannons & ideas
- Laurance should have been the one to absorb Shad’s relic. The angst potential for an arc like that would be SO unreal. saturation 100 angst. Imagine the horror he would feel knowing that he houses the essence of the very thing that ruined both his and so many other lives. catastrophic. give it here🤲
- wears a necklace with a pendant that belonged to Joh. he is VERY attached. NEVER takes it off. do with this what you will. (evil laughter and angst noises)
- man has the sharpest tongue/quickest wit in Ru’aun. he will clap back at anybody and can make a joke out of anything. king of deadpan humor.
- very protective of Malachi. after the time leap, seeing him grown makes Laurance emotional, but he hides it.
- ^on the note of children, he is very good with them. he never really saw himself having children, but would most likely adopt given his own status as an orphan, which is why he kinda saw Malachi as a sort of son.
- has a natural knack for survival skills. point at anything and he will tell you if it’s safe to eat. always builds the fire when setting up camp w/ the crew, even if he hates the memories the flames bring him. besides, the fire won’t burn his hands like it will his friends’.
- keeps watch almost obsessively when traveling or on duty. his SK enhanced senses keep him ultra alert.
- once it was suggested that if they ever needed to visit the nether, he would be a definite candidate due to his ability to navigate it. he nodded along quietly and agreeably at the time, but disappeared for a few hours shortly after. if his hands had a slight tremble for the rest of the week, nobody mentioned it.
(if vylad saw him cradling his head between his knees at the base of a tree, he also kept quiet)
- takes great care of his hair (duh)
- is VERY fast. always has been.
-incredible fashion sense. creds to Cadenza ofc.
i definitely have more of these tucked up in the depths of my brain so lmk if u guys want more :D

HOLY FUCK GUYS. JUST THOUGHT OF THIS ANGST. INSPIRED BY THE QUOTE THAT WAS IN MY “laurance’s calling” MOODBOARD…. LISTEN
what if laur kept a journal. nobody really knew what he’d write in it, but they’d seen it before.
it was a small, tasteful thing cadenza had gifted him when she first visited after he’d returned from the 15 year jump. it was leather bound; with smart green and ruby stitchings. it was closed with a strand of matching leather.
cadenza knew he was inclined to literature—specifically poetry—when he began learning after being adopted into the zvahl family. she had hoped maybe he would rekindle that healthy mechanism of writing he had once known.
he would write occasionally, usually picking up in frequency after big events. however, as the symptoms of the calling grew harder to bear, he found himself writing less, as his mind was far too loud to focus. he got a few pages in, though.
shortly after garroth had returned, and laurance had fled, garroth went looking through his small collection of things. he’d missed so much, and he hoped he could piece together something of what exactly had caused the change in the man he once knew. when he found the journal, part of himself told him not to read any of it—that he should respect laurance’s privacy. but his concern outgrew that hesitation. he resigned to reading the most recent of the entries. (irene knows what other tormented musings he’d find in earlier ones)
what he found was heartbreaking.
not because it was a large, divulging confession—no. in fact, it was hardly anything at all. it was rushed, written in a stressed way, and quite an efficient thought in the cruelest of manners. it read:
“i am an abomination”
stunned, garroth felt his heart lurch. his once so confident companion. reduced to four words on a page before him, unbeknownst to garroth where he may be.
he tucked the journal neatly where he’d found it, and left to go find his lord.

at the end of the day laurance zvahl is a block man and not the emotionally complex, brooding, traumatized, angst ridden 6’3 skinny but lean tree of a poetically tragic dark fantasy character that i have built him into in my mind.

carrying on the trend of discussing our shadow knight headcannons as started by @xerith-42 :))
i’m gonna start tweaking here we go. prob will think of more later
- to begin— SKs have a different look to them than most. they tend to have duller hair and skin; paler than their natural tones but in a grey/dead way. this is amplified when in their SK form. additionally, their hair kinda floats while transformed.
- to add on, the actual armor is not really armor. i’ve seen multiple people talk about this— i think it’s like a hardened second skin in a formation similar to armor plating. it flows from them and hardens instantly, almost like blood. when caught of guard, say somebody strikes from behind or something, the armor may activate/materialize in that specific area first, before the response of the entire body’s transformation is triggered.
- the eyes. many people have mentioned this and i even tried to include it in a drawing, but the whites of their eyes turn black in their forms, and their red irises glow. depending on the intensity of power of the shadow knight, the irises will emit a sort of red smoke/aura. additionally, when the form is taken, the scars below the eyes literally rip open. it’s pretty violent and quite painful, although the entire process of taking the form is, so this part goes largely unnoticed by the SK. to bystanders, the blood that spills from them at first gives the illusion of tears of blood.
- back to the armor thing— i also thing the flowing of the armor originates from their death scar and coats the entire body. if that makes sense.
- i think that SKs body temperature is quite the interesting feat. they can typically regulate it, but as the calling onsets it begins harder to tolerate anything cold, as their body begins to prepare itself cruelly for its return to the hellishly hot temperatures of the shadow realm. cruel.
more calling stuff
- the calling is painful. extremely so. it starts as a dull headache. as time passes, the entire body of the shadow knight begins to experience a dull, burning ache. it intensifies and can even become unbearable in the presence of whoever the calling has latched onto. also, if an opportunity arises, such as a knife on a table near them while their back is turned, their hands and head with alight with a unique burning that cannot be cured unless they manage to remove themselves or follow through. each scar will throb as a reminder of their mortality without answering the calling.
- once, when the calling was particularly bad for laurance, this sensation hit him very suddenly. he was with aphmau, discussing important matters, when suddenly his speech was cut short, only a gasping cry managed to creep from his mouth; his eyes simultaneously glowing red. his jaw dropped, and silently, nearly sick with the shock of such pain, he braced one hand on the table and almost fell. he couldn’t speak. he could hardly think, over the ringing in his head and the insistence of the shadow lords mantra in his head to ‘kill her’. his other hand uncontrollably jerked to the hilt of his blade, and he managed one small word to aphmau. “go”. somewhere inside her she knew not to argue, and she exited, despite her fear for his well-being, and promptly informed the nearest (likely vylad) of the current situation. laurance spent the next few hours, alone, huddled on the floor of that study; shaking, sweating, grappling with reality. after that too-close incident, he truly started to distance from the group, becoming entirely terrified of losing himself.
- the SKs also have a sort of hive sense—only activated when something is happening with a portal in the overworld. if one is opened, a panging pain will be felt by the SKs, the intensity of it reflecting the closeness of the portal. usually, this continues as a headache until the portal is shut, or they move far enough from it. this is naturally much worse during the calling, and they will feel an additional pull to the portal.
- adding on, i think it would be interesting if SKs could physically see a certain purple, snaking aura leading to a portal if it is nearby, that no regular, non-SKs can see. this comes in handy if they are searching for the portal, and allows them to direct people precisely if needed.
my take on @adepressedgaydragon ’s doll hc
first off i think this hc is so interesting
- the sort of dissociation that occurs is quite frightening for the SK themselves
- i like to think that this paralyzed state is a way of the shadow lord reasserting his fear into the SKs. as a way of reminding them of his power over them. perhaps when they are paralyzed like a puppet with cut strings, they are living out some brief hallucination in their head.
- sometimes are worse than others, and these spells can sort of be used to determine the current strength of the shadow lord based on frequency and intensity. sometimes the SK will snap out of it and come to as if nothing happened, other times they snap back and suddenly they collapse into a heap of panic because they are so extremely terrified.
- these hallucinations that occur are similar to those that gene inflicted on laurance during his initial transformation. furthermore, it would be interesting if gene (due to his mind control abilities) had some sort of minor power involving these doll-like episodes. his manipulated version would be fightable tho, something others could resist, unlike the organic ones that are largely unavoidable.
- another scenario because i’m fueled by angst: once, during one of these episodes, garroth was keeping an eye on laurance. this was not much long after his transformation, and was one of the first doll-like happening he had. garroth was sitting nearby, having moved laurance to a sitting position near him. all was usual until instead of blinking back to reality, laurance went from being motionless to launching from the chair he was in, stumbling, gasping in bone chilling fear as he tried to wipe the hallucination from his mind. garroth, although unable to understand his struggle, tried his damndest to comfort laurance, practically catching him when he sprung from his chair, holding him steady as he struggled to breathe out of fear. ‘i’ve got you; it wasn’t real’ repeated frantically into his ear.
alright that’s all for now folks, please give your thoughts/ask any questions!! i love discussing these ideas!!

Plsplspls any laurance headcanons to feed the starving?
oh but of course my sweet.. eat up
laurance ideas to feed the starving <3
- when laurance was brought back from the nether by ungrth, at least in cannon, he was unconscious. however, I believe he was in a state of shock induced by pain/trauma and obviously the experience of transcending realm barriers. picture wide, fear stricken eyes, with deep purple and grey circles beneath them. the striking color of his bloodied body and bruises are only accentuated by his extreme lifeless pallor. he’s frail and not quite human. something is off.
- following his escape, he spent much time recovering with the help of zoey. due to this, he catches himself feeling shy or ashamed around her, mainly after his recovery. this is largely due to how she was the first to see him in his worst state, and in a way he feels she should not have had to “deal with” his issues at that given time.
- another piggyback—laurance never got time to mentally recover from his time in the nether. he spent months enduring both physical and psychological torture, he was out, and then zane came along and brought a war with him. then garroths interesting little side quest (betrayal) and the irene dimension ordeal. 15 year time skip. HE IS BEING WHIPPED AROUND IN THESE EVENTS LIKE A RAGDOLL (heheheh…the council might laugh at that) anyways, he had absolutely zero time to collect his bearings and quite honestly is very lost. deep down, he wonders if it all could have been avoided somehow.
- because of this, he doesn’t recognize himself. his flirty confidence is just a facade that he wears to remind himself of who he used to be. to be truthful, his breath catches when something brushes against a particularly bad scar, or even if he looks at a flame for too long.
- laurance pops his knuckles as a sort of nervous-tick.
- laurance can braid hair beautifully—yet another thing he credits to cadenza. whenever there is downtime, he might be seen braiding the hair of those he is close with. its a comforting task for him, and reminds him of home.
- when he and katelyn were imprisoned during the werewolf wedding arc, the two of them were obviously extremely restless and stiff with stress. as time dragged on, he eventually ended up braiding katelyn’s hair. at first she was annoyed, asking him “what the hell are you doing”, to which he did not respond. she was exhausted, and to be quite honest it calmed her nerves a bit, so she didn’t argue. she pretended not to notice how the task seemed to rid his hands of their trembling.
- his favorite animal is a hawk. he likes to believe its his father watching over him whenever he happens to see one.
- sometimes, if he has a particularly bad night, he can be found at the beach , on his knees at the edge of the water. the moonlight on the water is blue and tranquil, and it helps to calm him. amidst the shore he can pretend that his salty tears are merely sea spray.
- after about half of the s2 events, this man needs a massage. he is to tightly strung and he hardly realizes it. once he was looking particularly stiff while donna was around, and she practically forced him to lay down so she could “work out some of those knots” he protested, mainly scared of his more gnarly scars being exposed, but donna, being the mother she is, didn’t mention the scars and artfully dodged them. he will never admit how much he needed it.
- when the group was exploring ruins on the island, he was grateful to have something like the historical environment to distract him. that’s part of why he was so fascinated.
