Why do/did you guys think Levin and Garroth looked so similar?

It’s not just the eyes and hair either, because even WELL into adulthood, people are pointing out to Levin that their resemblance is uncanny.

It’s brought up over and over, and YEAH OBVIOUSLY the meta explanation is that it was more shipping bait, BUT THERE’S GOTTA BE MORE.

Was Garroth related to the Old Lord? Is it just coincidence? Is it magic? Coincidence? Was he the old lord THE WHOLE TIME, in a WILDLY CONTRIVED PLOTTWIST?

The Shadow King (Shad) had the goal of halting the growth of civilization. To do this, he creates and sends out Shadow Knights to kill their lords/leaders destroy their community achievements. After that, he places The Curse; wiping their memories and trapping them in a trance where they have limited free will, canonically referred to as “non-sentience”

The only villager of Phoenix Drop resistant to this is Garroth, presumably due to his Divine Connections. Everyone is stuck in this trance until Aphmau comes in and starts affecting things, which slowly helps the villagers regain consciousness and ROYALLY pissing off the Shadow Lord.

ANYWAYS

THERE IS A CONSTANT IN MCD OF WHENEVER A WOMAN IS WEARING ARMOR, IT HAS TO BE PRETTY, WHICH IS GOOD RIGHT? THINGS BEING AESTHETICALLY PLEASING IS GOOD

BUT WHEN CADENZA

THE LORD OF A VILLAGE

IS REINTRODUCED IN S2

SHE IS WEARING THIS

HEY APHMAU?? HEY APHMAU. I KNOW THAT YOU WANNA MAKE YOUR CHARACTERS LOOK PRETTY, BUT GUESS WHO’S GONNA BE LOSING HER KNEECAPS?

THIS BIIIITCH

Look at--look at me. look me in the eyes. You can make armor look beautiful without cutting out huge swathes of metal. around the joints no less!! do you wanna be making bets on how long it’ll take you to lose your ligaments?? are you fucking kidding me?

Oh, you wanna make armor look pretty? here!

how about some engraving! some gold plating, perhaps? maybe some exquisite steel detailing?

oh, what’s that? you want something that’s easy to see on a minecraft skin?

How about some color, hmm? some paint or plating on the armor itself, some padding, something underneath chainmail that can show through? literally anything?

Or maybe get a theme? and Insignia? a symbol? garroth and zane both do this, with the black cross for O’knasis. Look that these fantastic motherfuckers, with their bird and lion themed armor. Maybe use some distinct shapes, like these giant pauldrons!!! gorgeous

how about you get a cape?? or a one of those things that the person on the left has, the yellow cloth thing???? idk what it’s called but it’s very cool and it adds color and it’s flowey!!! that is a perfectly acceptable way to spruce up some armor that doesn’t take away from its protectiveness!!!! or get a tabard (that’s the dress thing that goes over the armor, it’s in garroth’s original mcd skin) also, garroth, laurance, and dante already have capes, so there’s already a precedent!!!

Tl;dr aphmau stop putting your characters in shitty bikini armor because it is neither protective nor fashionable. also please put some pants on, i have no issue with you wearing skirts or dresses, but you’re the leader of a rebellion against some of the most powerful political forces in the world, you’re gonna get an arrow in your thigh. god

anyways, this is how I’m gonna be drawing cadenza from now on
