last book: my sister gave me a double up of one of her books that i finished like within a day. its called; Blood Over Bright Haven by M. L. Wang. genuinely one of my favourite reads of this year. its actually so good ohmigosh..

last song: LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE by Quetzol. go listen to Quetzols music its actually SOOO GOOD

last movie: 1917, this ones for school though. i found it a tad frustrating, especially as my family is full of war n history nerds.. and they get a fair amount wrong for the sake of drama..

last series: still watching Minecraft Diaries. its utterly peak and cool and impeccable, and yet some characters are so frustrating..

sweet or salty: i like both, so its a hard pick. i like bitter and savoury foods a lot for some reason, and generally those are salty? just not like. too salty.

coffee or tea: bleugh, you will not catch me drinking coffee. despite me liking bitter food, i cannot stand bitter drinks. i do quite like tea though, that stuff tastes so good. cough, hot chocolate is better though, cough

working on currently: gotta get myself up to speed on quite a fair amount of art.. plus im workin on about four different story ideas (three are in the bullet-point part of the process) and i gotta get chapters 3-5 done on my main one. theyre easy.. theyre easy i swear.. AAAND i gotta get my ass into gear with all these animatics im makin. gosh i love animated music videos.. heh..

Open Tags, so if any of you feel like it, feel free!!

Last book: Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux, I love classic literature a lot (My favourite book is The Strange case of Jekyll and Hyde) and i love the musical so i read the book too and it was really good, would recommend!

Last song: Long Face by The Vampire Lestat me and my friend just finished watching The interview with The Vampire show lol

Last show: Interview With The Vampire oh this was sooo good it’s very well paced we finished both seasons in like a week and my friend is currently reading the book now lol, we are waiting for the new series The Vampire Lestat to come out

Sweet or Salty: Depends what I’m craving but probably sweet, i’m always snacking and i could probably eat sweets longer then salty things

Coffee or Tea: Tea hands down, i have so many teas, my Favourites are Jasmine, Earl Grey (specifically London Fogs), and Chamomile, and i only drink sweet coffee, like Ice caps or coffee with lots of flavouring/ milk

Working on currently: I’m working on character drawings for that colour wheel meme that was popular a bit ago (see last post) I also have a write about how the nether biomes fit into shadow knight lore, but idk if i’ll ever finish it i’m pretty swamped rn, and since my break is coming up i’d love to work on some animatics over it so maybe i’ll get to doing those lol

Psst

It just reminds me why(I’M ASSUMING) a lot of people like Aarmau and why it’s so popular is because Aaron is the opposite of Garroth and Laurance’s bad traits

Which is good and bad

In most recent cocomau videos in the diaries channel every time she claims to be dating Garroth(and by the way stop watching those videos, they’re catfishing you. He’s never dating ever, she’s never domestic with Garroth as she is with Aaron in everything else, it’s just to get you to click because “look! Garroth! And maybe I like him but we’re definitely breaking up two minutes before the video ends even though if the title of the video was different you could never tell we were dating in the first place”) they always break up in some way because Garroth fears/hates the idea of anything that could put Aphmau in danger

Even though she isn’t too bothered by the chaotic life, Garroth doesn’t believe it’s fair to involve Aphmau in those responsibilities and insists maybe if everything passes then they can have a peaceful life

With Aaron — while he doesn’t like to put Aphmau in danger either — somehow she’s always involved anyway??? So even if he doesn’t want her hurt, they never have a real discussion of “oh this could hurt you” because Aphmau is already 0.1 seconds away from getting maimed

So

Aarmau works because half the time Aphmau is the drama or she’s already involved it in before Aaron can confront her about staying out of it

Idk

And Laurance is just jealous. It’s weird and it’s kinda dumb cause in diaries the jealous trait he had as a shadow knight felt like it came out of nowhere and aphmau tried to make it appear to be a side effect of wanting to kill her rather than this new thing and almost opposite effect of what a shadow knight should feel

He grows obsessed with the idea of her instead of killing her, and almost like an adverse yandere if he can’t have her, she has to die.

Aaron, obviously, doesn’t get jealous.

He does a tiny bit later on when he has a dream abt Garroth marrying Aphmau but like — not in the “she’s mine” kinda way but in like a “you can’t have her because she’s not anyone’s” way.

Unlike Laurance.

And Laurance does get better at being jealous in Mystreet later on… by fucking leaving.

He’s gone shortly after Aaron and Aphmau get together and doing fuck knows what

Apparently his parents had a baby or something idk

It’s weird

But YEAH

Because Aaron is the opposite of Garroth and Laurance’s worse traits(mostly in Mystreet) he’s the ideal choice

However in MCD

He’s like the worst fucking option because we don’t KNOW HIM and Aphmau names her daughter after his dead wife????

It’s just weird to me

Anyway

I don’t like Aarmau in MCD, I’m split between Garmau(season 1 that’s the side I was on) and Laurmau(That was my season 2 endgame) but if polyamory did exist then

Maybe it could’ve worked because to Aphmau the only thing that was holding her back from either was

1. she didn’t want Laurance/Garroth to get jealous or hurt or hate her

2. She was/is a Lord trying to run a village and save the region

So - felt like all her answers could’ve been solved with a nice long conversation about well why can’t I date you both but also can we wait until we’re not at war thank you guys

That’s just ME

So even as a kid i almost immediately realized oh she’s gonna get with him isn’t she? And because of presentation of Aaron it unfortunately just feels like the story just pushes them together, like i love the way Laurence slowly begins to hate and resent aphmau but i wont deny that part of the reason it was done was to make Aaron look like the better option, (Including Garroths crash out over Aphmaus pregnancy which was confirmed to be out of character as Garroth was used a vessel so the fans would feel seen) so by the time all of that boy drama happens in the later half of season 2 i was always like can aphmau just stay single she’s so above these guys.

And yeah the worst part is it does feel like a lot of these issues can just be solved by a conversation, like up until the weird possessive moments in season two with Garroth and Laurence, we’re lead to believe that they care about Aphmaus choice, what she wants, and what makes her happy, over their romantic feelings for her.
