I just got back into Aphmau and I love your series and got a tiny bit obsessed (I may or may not have drawn the entire first chapter of SKMS as a comic)
That aside, I was wondering
1. Do you plan for them to move when tackling season 3? Ik itâs the seasonâs entire setup/gimmick but itâs always been weird to me that EVERYONE moved when it was presented as a step for aarmauâs relationship
2. Did you give the Shadow Knights house 64 (aka Lucinda and Cadenzaâs house) and gave Lucinda house 65 (Brendanâs house) in the first fic?
You described them as next door neighbors to the new movers, which I first took to mean that they lived in 65 because Brendan was absent and Lucinda appeared later but when I looked at the interiors in the lapiz city map, I couldnât help but notice how 64 would accommodate 5 people better. Not counting living room and kitchen, 64 has 7 rooms (an easy 2 bathroom, 5 bedroom split) in contrast to 65âs 3 rooms (plus 2 bedrooms just Lucinda seems more reasonable)
3. You said you donât plan to add aarmau but is mcd aarmau and Irene x shad still cannon to your fic?
Thank you in advance for reading this!!!
And yes question 2 is here purely because of the comic ver. I may or may not have already drafted
Firsts of all oh my gosh a comic??? Thank you so much like genuinely I am honored. Please tag me if you post it, it would genuinely make me so happy to see that. The reaction here may seem tame but I promise I freaked out a bit when I first saw the ask. Ok now onto the questions themselves
1) I do want for there to be a move and some roommate reshuffling. I'm still not 100% certain on what the living situations are going to be exactly, or even how I will justify not having the Shadow Knights all live together (yes I want to separate them a little for the sake of Fun and New Dynamics). My current idea is just make it a mixture of costs/the houses aren't big enough to accommodate the exact same living arrangements from season 1. Which would likely require me to fudge things a little and change the interior of some of the houses but oh well.
2) Uhhh... I'll be honest I fully just made up the interior of the Shadow Knights' house in the first fic. Physically, the house is intended to be located where Brendan's was in canon, but I did not know about the lapiz city map. So I ended up just completely making up what the interior looked like since I knew I wanted them to take Brendan's house (sorry Brendan) and did not really care about having it match Brendan's actual interior. So If you noticed a discrepancy that's why.
3) Yes! The primary reason I changed my mind about including Aarmau in the fic is that the storyline I want for both characters throughout my fics wouldn't really benefit from them being together romantically. mcd!Aarmau were "together" but it was more of a "they had feelings for each other, and had sex, but they never really talked about it or officially got together in anything beyond friend with benefits". And Shad and Irene were also together in a very messy and tragic way as is canon.
I hope these answers were satisfying, always feel free to ask more questions if there's something else you wanna know. I love answering these questions!
Also hope the comic making goes well!
