Aphtober day 2 - Gift

Zane was so nice to give a pretty little necklace to a child outside of Falcon Claw. Absolutely nothing bad happened. The story ended nicely and everyone was happy. Totally.

Oh also I wrote a fic about it :) (first ever Aphmau ao3 fic!! Woohoo!! Link is under the cut) it’s called The Fall of Falcon Claw and it’s my first fic in multiple years so hopefully it’s good? Link is also under the cut too!

Once again, Aphtober prompt list is by @vyladromeave !!

( Based upon my rewrite; )

Aphmau, Claire and Ein will never know the true pain and suffering Irene took on to rid the world of evil, the healing she did or the love she spread so that one day all Ru'Aunians could be happy.

Aaron will be forever reminded that those who are misunderstood will be seen as plagues of the land, and how easily those who are undermined can be thrusted from their lives and shadowed into nothing. Jacob will come to live that same fate, until he is pushed to the edge and snaps back at the hand that feeds him.

Travis will forever feel like a disappointment amongst the vast ever growing library of his ancestor, Enki constantly breathing down his neck. A reminder that his existance in the long run is a eons planned out mission for Enki to become knower of all, that his greatest grandfather will continue to collect family spirits to keep the library and his life going, until the world fizzles out.

Zenix will live with the overbearing guilt Esmund never felt, the sickening hunger and shame, an animalistic need for blood and viscera that will never be quenched until all life in the Overworld is stomped out.

Keori will live with shame, knowing she helped continue the oppression of her own people under her father's crown, against Menphina's own teachings and beliefs.

Anyway lately I’ve been thinking about Levin/Jacob (Aaron’s son)

Obviously it’s in an au where Jacob lives instead of Aaron, and I find them just fascinating because of their similarities but there would also be stark differences. They’re narrative foils To Me

Two kids whose lives were ripped apart by the High Priest of O’Khasis, homes and families taken from them.

One tries to move forward and rebuild in honor of what he has lost. The other hunts for revenge.

One has a support system, a family. The other was left orphaned and alone, I like to think he was taken in by the thieves guild, becoming incredibly independent but with the skills to survive.

One gets closure and peace. The other never will, at least not how he wants it.

And of course, they meet. Phoenix Drop was the last place Zane ever was, of course Jacob keeps going back to that place, and of course he meets Levin. The shared experience, same grief different place, allows for a quick connection. An understanding. But Levin stays, and Jacob leaves. He will be back though, and they will talk again.

And again.

And again.

At some point Jacob stops coming in hopes of finding Zane or some clue, he comes because he knows Phoenix Drop is safe. A place he does not have to sleep with one eye open. Levin asks him to stay for good every time, but that seems to always be the same moment Jacob leaves.

It’s things like that which make Malachi not like Jacob all that much, he has personal experience in what anger and grief like that can do to someone. How it can consume someone and turn them into someone who hurts people, and he doesn’t want Levin to get caught up in that. Zoey on the other hand tries to encourage it. Thinks a friend like this could be good for Levin, someone outside of the village. Someone he doesn’t feel a duty to, someone he can be just a teenager with. It certainly helps she sees the lostness in Jacob, always trying to coax him to stay.

Although maybe he was close, close to staying for at least longer than usual now that rebuilding efforts have started in earnest now that Levin is of age. I like to think it’s a quiet moment between them, in a moment between Zoey going missing while she is in the Irene Dimension (wonky time differences and such, there must’ve been a period where she was missing) and her triumphantly returning. Levin is so scared because he must keep moving forward but he doesn’t know if he can do it without her, he doesn’t want to admit she may be gone too. This moment with Jacob laying in the grass is the most at peace he has felt in weeks, and in this moment maybe they are even something more. Levin had taken nearly all initiative of the personal connection between them because he is not scared of it like Jacob is. From calling him his friend first, to grabbing and holding onto Jacob’s hand while he spills his own heart out. But this time Jacob takes that leap. Says he can stay, he can help. That he wants to. He wants to be there for Levin.

And he means it. He does. He swears to Malachi and Dante and Donna and Logan and Alexis and everyone that he does.

(Given amulets by Zane to eventually kill everyone in the village they lived in) (only one succeeded)

Idk where I was going with this im just really missing Brian bcs he didn’t even show up once after s1 I hope those fifteen years treated him well :(

Also Aarmau shouldn’t have been a thing in Mcd but we all kind of knew that already (Aphmau and Zoey 💔) (what we could have had 💔)

Anyways my plane home leaves tomorrow so if yall miss my weekly rants and art posts it might become more frequent idk

so i was thinking about Jacob (Aarons son in mcd) and i decided i eventually want to bring him into my rewrite to see how Aaron would parent a child who was the ultima would Aaron do what Derek did would he give Jacob freedom would he confine to his room as much as possible then i thought of a question can there be more then one ultima

to the best of my knowledge we never saw Derek go ultima we heard about happening before Aaron was born but never after so i was wondering is Derek just really good at controlling it or is he not the ultima anymore,

lets say that when a son is born to a ultima the curse leaves the parent and goes to the child,

Derek is already a bad person and parent but if that's the case that makes Derek so much worse and so much more selfish. Derek did not have to have kids and if he did he could have stopped Melisa without passing down the curse (the curse does not go to girls) but he didn't he had another child Aaron. if this how the curse works maybe this was Derek's way of getting rid of the curse for himself. maybe he had Aaron for the soul purpose of getting rid of his own curse.

BUT most likely I'm over analyzing things and Derek just good at controlling himself and i missed something anyways someone let me know if i'm wrong. either way this could be an interesting concept.

also if more then one ultima can have what if an ultima just had a bunch of sons would they all be ultima.

since i mentioned Lily's son in my last but not her I thought I would redesign her and mention how I am changing her character.

Lily has extremely dark brown hair

she has hazel eyes(I know she conically has blue eyes but literally every other character has blue eyes)

she often has her hair in two ponytails

she is a master of the Smokey eye

she has giant eye lashes

she wears dark red lipstick

she is 6 foot 6

she is very muscular but she's also pretty chubby (please tell me that makes sense)

she is bisexual she is a demigirl

personality and role in rewrite

Lily looks very intimidating but is very sweet and loving to those close to her

Lily is Lilian's twin (i made them sister because of the trope of twins having super similar names)

Lily met Aaron at one of the Ro'meave's parties (Lily was there because she and Lilian are Zianna's nieces)

Lily and Aaron became friends

Lily is Aarons workout buddy

at the start of pdh Lily and Aaron are 17 and in the early stages of dating

Lily becomes Aarons emotional support person and helps Aaron find healthy coping mechanisms

Lily gets pregnant at 18

Lily and Aaron move in together

Lily is a extremely loving mother to Jacob

eventually Lily and Aaron do break up at 19-20 but stay very close friends. (they break up due to falling out of love. they would broken up a bit sooner but they wanted to stay together because of Jacob)

Lily eventually gets a partner and they have a child together named Lilith.
