I’m the void / the abyss overall

I’m a place that seems miserable and lonely but if you pull back the curtain you see little floating lights in the dark. The place that isn’t so lonely, in the simplest way I can put it without it being a full poem

Overall, anyway. I also write lots of poetry about this subject

This is gonna get a little complicated but holding with me. Basically personalities and ideals should mostly be kept the same.

Aphmau and Aaron are swapped. Aaron was injured rather brutally in the loss of his village wondering into phoenix drop and lost his memory while Aphmau was revived in a cold wasteland by a mysterious white-haired lady lerking.

Sasha and vylad are swapped. Sasha was a shunned member of her guard and ended up becoming a shadow knight just like vylad and his family but vylad ran away and met nana. He died protecting her the way Sasha died protecting laurance. Sasha brought "irene" back and vylad had his memories altered.

Irene and shad are switched. Instead of everyone turning against shad for the magic he had, they turned on irene. She became "the shadow matron" after centuries of shame and guilt of her actions deciding if the world can't be great full for her blessings they deserved what would come. Shad on the other hand, used the canon to save his daughter (as best he could) and became "shad the destroyer of terror"

Laurance and nana. Laurence when young ran away because he couldn't bear his life after losing his family. No real connection to cadenza sadly. So he set up shop with his wyvern company. He was on the run to keep ungrth safe eventually he becomes a home for all the wyverns except raven who is swapped with ungrth. Nana ended up in metili and was taken in by the lord Joe. Her magic was trained, and she became a guard. Eventually vylad sacrificed himself to save nana and joe leading to his shadow knight statis and nana later saves aaron, leading to her becoming a sk herself.

Garroth and Zane swapped. Zane was probably disowned and in my head was the cause of Aaron's problems still. He took aaron to phoenix drop overwhelmed with guilt. In this is imagine Zane wasn't actively trying to hurt anyone he was just in the wrong place with the wrong cursed amulet looking for help. Aaron doesn't remember this and this is how the betrayal stung the end of session 1 happens. Garroth became lord despite hating the idea, instead of being outright evil he does everything "for the good of O'Khasis". He feels an unbearable responsibility to his home and probably isn't a good lord. Tbh I could go on about this one but I won't.

Aphmau has a grudge against garroth because Sasha did *not* keep it a secret her "shadow matron"(sasha is still a shadow knight and vauge cultist to the sk cause but more of a rebel i this). Garroth wanted to use her power to save O'Khasis from their "doomed path" because let's be real, garroth isn't a good lord. He'd take everything to the extreme.

Dante and gene swap. This one is kinda hard to do- gene is still vaguely evil but not actually. He did a bunch of fucked up shit in his youth bc he thought he could get away with it. Instead of dying tho he panicked and erased the memories of himself and (on accident) dante from the whole village. Dante was destroyed but putting things back ment gene could get in trouble, so he panicked and ran away leaving Dante along. In his grief Dante turned to irene and became a shadow knight while gene wondered to his uncle's eventually ending up in Phoenix drop after helping aaron the same way Dante did. Now gene does *not* end up with two babies. But I dont think Dante does either- kinda. Haven't figured that out yet bc i don't have a Nicole swap (also angst laurgene bc laurance replaces nana? >:3 )

Also lol your Garroth scares me /pos

Here is a little Ryland Grace edit I cooked for possible propaganda, because his life and the Sexyman finals are a drag path.

If you're in the Aphverse fandom and you don't know what that title is referring to, you might want to sit down to read this. It's not... the best.

I want to use this post to both compile all the information I have from my own sleuthing, and express my thoughts and nuanced opinions in one place. I'm incredibly depressed by this whole situation, and I think everyone who's ever been a fan of anything made by this team deserves to sit with this uncomfortable truth with as much information as they need for as long as they need it. So lets get started.

So Jason Bravura doesn't know when to shut his mouth and lie and now we're all paying the price for it. In response to... all the stuff I talked about in the original post, Jason took to his favorite website to give us an update (shout out to @menphias-flame for getting these screenshots for me so I don't have to open twitter).

There's so many problems with this I don't know where to even start. I guess the first thing is that clearly there needs to be some kind of work done on the internal Catface team if this kind of thing is happening without Jess or Jason's approval. That's a huge L on their parts.

The second thing is that comment about how this comes at the tail of character skin tones on merch and all I have to say is YEAH THAT'S NOTHING NEW. Skin tones of these characters have been off in merch for a while, and they have been completely butchered in thumbnails for even longer. Their thumbnails can't even get certain characters eye colors right, let alone their skin tone. That is a weak argument for why they weren't involved in this, because skin tones have been an issue for this team since they were Blujay studios.

Third, I really hate how Jason is making a martyr out of himself here. Talking about how he's responsible for everything, how he personally halved his salary for the team, how this is all his fault. I wish he just. Hadn't done that. Because if your content production is so overwhelming and incapable of keeping up with itself without using AI, MAYBE CHANGE YOUR CONTENT PRODUCTION SCHEDULE???

Nobody is making Catface upload that many cocomau videos a week, and I'm sure if they heard me say this, Jess or Jason would start talking about how much money it takes to run their operation. And my response to that is to downsize your operation along with downsizing your content generation. Because as it is now they are burning the cabdle at both ends, overworking every artist contracted under them, and still failing to meet their own requirements. Methinks their requirements might not actually be humanly possible anymore and they need to change what those requirements are in order to survive.

Fourth, and finally, we have confirmation. Confirmation of the job posting (lightly), and confirmation that yes Catface uses AI in their content creation. Now Jason is trying to convince you in this post that they use it in an ethical manner, that there is no art or writing generated for their works, only ideas and production tool creation, whatever that means. And uh, hey Jason...

THERE IS NO ETHICAL WAY TO USE THE STEALING AND LYING MACHINE THAT KILLS THE PLANET!! YOU ARE KILLING THE PLANET WITH EVERY TIME YOU ASK A CHATBOT TO GENERATE SOME IDEAS FOR AN ASMP VIDEO!!

We now have confirmation that Catface studios uses AI in the process of making cocomau videos. And that sucks!! I wish they had lied to us!! I wish that Jason had gone on twitter and told a bold face outright lie to the entire fandom! I wish we could've been forever stuck in speculation with squinted eyes, instead of having this ugly truth laid bare. This sucks.

That's all there is to this. This sucks.

I'll probably still finish Mermaid Tales because in my social circles I've been the only one who's watching it and reporting back to people on how bad it is, but once that's over? I doubt I'll watch another new Aphmau video. Even if MyStreet Season 7 actually comes back, even if Jeffory and Blaze and Cadenza are all in it, I'll not want to watch it. Because now I can't trust the creators or anything they make. I never can. Until I see a comprehensive behind the scenes production process on MyStreet with reliable proof of no gen AI usage, I can never trust them, and that kind of documentary would cost too much money to film.

I'll still work on my fanfictions, have my fun with these characters in my own worlds, and engage with other fan content. This fandom is a special thing to me, and I've never needed them actually making anything I wanted to watch for that to be the case. But I will probably talk less about critiques of the writing and just do more silly Blaze posting when I'm in the mood for it, cause he's mine now as far as I can tell.

Thank you for reading this far, thank you for keeping a critical eye about you, and remember that Jason can't take your childhood memories away from you. Sparkle on and remember to be yourself

Oh and here's that meme I promised, made in about 5 minutes with a reliable zero usage of generative AI in the creative process

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.

Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture

People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.

I went to a “Cancel Canada Day” event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.

This is my country’s legacy - and it’s not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.

anyway so remember how her magic involves animation and giving a life of sorts to inanimate objects? well i saw someone a while ago mention taking it a step further and making her a necromancer. now i LOVE that idea, i can’t for the life of me remember where i originally saw it, BUT!!

i’m gonna set the scene. Nana is in Tu’la, a region which I have drawn inspiration from Japan’s Sakoku period. to sum it up, this is basically a period in Japanese history where they essentially isolated themselves from the rest of the world trade wise and didn’t really develop the same way if that makes sense? anyway Japan came out of it in like the 1860s but they were behind the rest of the world because their strict isolation prevented the exchange of ideas and stuff like the Industrial Revolution didn’t really happen, but they ended up catching up quickly and basically in 1941 they displayed their sudden military prowess and development by bombing Pearl Harbor. this is significant because Japan had been isolated for about 200 years, and caught up with 200 years worth of development in about 80. (all of that is very simplified and the numbers might be off.) but back to mcd stuff

Tu’la is inspired by this period of time. it’s very cut off from the rest of the trading world and the military in the country is very highly regarded because of how well they’ve sort of “fended off” foreigners and the region has a military junta style government. i’ve worked a little bit on backstory and loosely decided that Tu’la has painted this picture of being abandoned by the rest of the world, so during their seclusion they’ve been planning an attack that is predicted to slowly suck everyone else dry. to do this they obviously need a strong military so they’re always on the lookout for great soldiers

so where does Nana come into this? well when she was a child she would use her animation magic to bring life to small stuff like rocks and sticks to make dolls and play with them. cities and towns are still guarded and watched by military, so a few men took note of this and began asking her questions about it. Nana answered them without much thought because it’s really a useless power (at least in her child eyes), but one day she gets told that whatever council is in charge wants to see her and she becomes the youngest military member for the sole purpose of her powers. the council figures if she trains enough, then she can give life back to deceased soldiers

so she kind of grows up learning that. she practices a lot and as a side effect notices that she’s kind of aging faster? she brushes it off and doesn’t ever think she’ll be able to bring someone back to life, but being in the military has helped her family so she stays and pretends. until she does actually reanimate a dead body and accidentally created the “perfect soldier” that can’t be killed or harmed or think for itself, and she decides she doesn’t actually want her power to be used to overtake the world. so, she plans to run away

she succeeds and as a result ends up in Ru’aun, however doing this makes her a fugitive in Tu’la and is the initial reason the region decides to break away from isolation earlier than planned, because they need to make sure their weapon doesn’t end up in the wrong hands. this is where i imagine she would change her name and end up traveling all over to avoid Tu’la

now HERE’S THE KICKER. me personally, i’m tired of magic having no limits or consequences. why can they do whatever they want and only end up feeling tired? now some good shit would be consequences AND SOOO

every time Nana gives something life, her own lifespan shortens. So she isn’t even really giving life she’s just letting that thing borrow hers. this isn’t something she really finds out until she realizes that she continues to age a little faster than normal, but she also comes across a sorcerer that gives her advice about it. now, how would this work into an adaptation of her maid cafe idea?

Nana knows she’s a fugitive and criminal of Tu’la. rumors start spreading of a meif’wa wirh the ability to raise the dead at her will in all regions of the world, which creates and deepens discrimination against them. people start turning Nana away when she asks for shelter and barely even acknowledge her in public. Nana is a social person, not to mention she just broke away from isolation, so to be isolated once again in a new world where that isn’t even mandatory? she hits a wall and creates companions out of dolls at the cost of her own life, and she decides that if she goes sooner because of it then she’s okay with that

i imagine after moving to Phoenix Drop or the way with Scaleswind and O’Khasis that she stops using her powers because she’s found something to live for. i still haven’t decided if any of this is something she even tells Dante, but that depends on varying levels of tension i want

Anyways, great post. I was also doing something similar with the location and liked what you had to say lol.

In mine nana's repercussions is the more she gives to others the less she is a person. Ie: to make a powerful super soldier doll she must give up all her childhood memories up to age 10. And when its destroyed she'll slooooooly getting back depending on how long the doll "lived" example: 1 year of super soldier = 2-3 ish years to get it all back.

Cw/tw for gore and death? I suppose? Idk angsy rewrite shit because its my favorite<3<3

WHAT IS THAT??? LINGUINE?
