Hear Me Out....hear Me Out....

Hear me out....hear me out....

The first (and half of the second) season of MCD is too character driven with too slow of a plot.

But the later seasons of Mystreet are not character driven enough, too plot focused with way too fast of a plot.

Aphmau edition. Angst and fluff.

Aphmau is touch starved.

Her love language is physically contact, and she takes the opportunity to do so whenever she can when she is connecting with loved ones.

During season 2 she became very anxious, not only because of the stress of- well...everything, but became she was not getting her much needed doses of physical contact.

Her and Laurence often found eachother in one another's bed (PLATONICALLY!!) Aphmau because of her anxiety and need for touch, and Laurence because of the nightmares.

Bonus:

Laurence's body temperature runs hot so he gives best snuggles in the winter.

Aphmau struggles to find herself in the midst of finding the lost memories of someone else, Irene.

She is tormented by everlasting search for answers, but when she finds the lead she's been looking for in the tangled web of prophecy, maybe it's not the answer that she wanted.

On top of that the imminent dangers of Shad and Tu'la threaten her home, her family and her children.

Aphmau is forced to find the answers she so dreads to save it all. Or lose it all.

KC edition

Warning: Angst

When Dante married KC she had dreams of having a large family. Dante managed to ween her off of the idea of 8 to 10 children and decreased it down to 3. The couplw was ecstatic when KC found out she was pregnant! However her pregnancy was not an easy one, and Nekoette's birth was strenuous at best and life threatening at worse. The labor left her unable to conceive again. To make matters worse their daughter was not the healthiest baby, and Ru'aun is known for a tragically high infant mortality rate, so Dante and KC were faced with the very real fear that the only child they'd ever have might no survive through infancy. But luckily their little girl made out okay. They quickly proceeded to spoil her rotten.

Because of this experience Dante and KC decided that it may be best that they only have one child. Although KC still longed to see at least two more little feet crawl around, to have a home filled with children's laughter, scattered toys, and sibling squabbles. She was so grateful that Dimitri joined their family, for Nekoette's sake, but he would always be Nicole's son first. She'd always grieve over the lost of the family she never got to have.

Aaron Needs Friends

Having him be aloof and mysterious was cool for the first few adventures, but for the amount of time that Aaron was traveling with Aph he should have been making SOME sort of relationship with her squad. This man was present since BEFORE Garroth was lost to the Irene Dimension. Yet all anyone had to say about him was "I didn't know much about him" "he was a good man". The group didn't even need to know him all that well, or be super close. He didn't need to expose all his secrets or be particularly socialable. But you're telling me that during the span of time that Aaron was around the same people, all the time, risking their lives...and he didn't interact with them on a more personal level? He ONLY interacts with Aphmau. That just isn't human nature.

I vaguely remember multiple characters getting shamed or dismissed for being concerned about his intentions. But looking back that is completely valid! From Aph's perspective, Aaron is a good guy who had proved himself, and doesn't need to explain himself ever. From everyone else's perspective, he is a complete stranger, with vague intentions and questionable goals, who they have know for at least a year in close proximity but goes out of his way (quite literally every single time) to interact with NO ONE but Aphmau.

Suspicious Behavior. That or he seems rude. But their distrust of that kind of put out is not unbased. Especially when his past comes to light, yet he is still no more than a stranger, and shown to be purposefully secretive. Suspicious Behavior. But the cast is supposed to ignore all that because...? "He's a good guy" how would anyone else know that?

I mean he doesn't have to open up to them in great lengths and cry about his tragic life, but by time he died he should have had a surface level relationship with the main gang. More than never knowing jack about him as a person. Training/mentoring with Laurence, amicable acknowledgement with Garroth, maybe teasing flusterable Katelyn. A joke or two outside of Aphmau. Just any amount of relationship outside of Aphmau. Please.

Otherwise his mysteriousness becomes an archetype instead of characterization. And it became more of a hindrance to the story, especially later on.

Having Aaron never build relationships with anyone BUT Aphmau sets him aside in a way that is very odd. Aaron is essentially NOT a character, but a plot point. He only exists to advance the plot, add suspense, or subvert the plot. But he himself had no character- other than grief.

And it especially took away from the significance of his DEATH! When he died the only person really grieving HIM was Aphmau. Everyone was sad for HER. It made so Aph could be sad but - "oh nobody else understands my grief". While Aph was grieving nobody could really grieve with her. It isolated her in a way so jarring and disconnected from the story it felt more like a plot diversion than a plot point. And everyone just continued with their respective plots, yet the STORY had to come to a screeching HALT after Aaron's death because aph was mouring and she is quite literally OUR EYES.

There in lies the problem. NOBODY could mourn for Aaron, because he was a stranger. But HE DIED! He died without ever getting to grow or build new relationships as his story was clearly building up to do. HE DIED with no mourners! What kind of depressing precedent is that?!? "You don't need to grow past your grief, and build new relationships after great lost! You just need to be HOT and (somehow impregnate) the main character! Plot 😃".

What a Lackluster death for a character!! A main character!!! To be mourned by no one. It should have been Aaron's death that brought the story to a halt, the fact that they had lost HIM. Not that Aphmau had lost him.

Aaron's death should have affected the entire cast, or at least the main one who had traveled with him so long! Yet everyone else is allow to move on as they would because essentially they lost nothing.

Yeah, we were all sad when Aaron died as kids. Because Aphmau was sad (that scream was something else). And, yes, Aaron's death was sad. But imagine how devastating it would be if EVERYBODY knew him- to some capacity- if everyone mourned his passing. Imagine how much more significance it would bring to his SACRIFICE.

Aaron was a man with nothing to lose from DAY ONE. BUT HE STAYED THAT WAY! He never grew! What kind of sacrifice is it for a man with nothing to live for, no mortal ties, to sacrifice his life.

It dumbs down his death to in essence, achieve his ONLY goal in life: revenge, and make his girlfriend-not-girlfriend happy.

He A STRANGER. Not because HE necessarily wanted Garroth back, but because Aphmau wanted Garroth back. It doesn't work well. Aaron should have sacrificed himself for Garroth because HE wanted to, because HE cared for Garroth.

It objectified him in a sense. His decisions- his world revolves around Aphmau, and only her? (And Zane strangely enough). He has free will but his choices like agency, desire, depth. He's a means to and end, hardly a character. He experienced no growth, no change, no discomfort.

He only experienced pain and Aphmau. Tragic.

Meet Vale, another afterdeath baby, I know, forgive me. He's more in the middle, I think. (honestly I don't know what kids are in this continuity if there is a continuity at all. He's probably the oldest in this group at 14.

He's very quiet, sometimes its easy to forget he's in the room, unless his interests are involved then he's super talkative. He's a little unaware with social cues and social interaction period, but he loves science.

He's a definite mama's boy, which is Reaper in my cannon. Unpopular opinion but it's mine

He and Geno aren't that close anyway. Despite all their similarities lol.

He has some sort of conditions, I thought I'd tie in some of Geno's...qualities. His bones are thin, and definitely more breakable, which doesn't work well with his high level of determination. Vale can't really use it though, that feature is both keeping him alive and trying to kill him. He literally vibrates because of it when stressed.

Some particularly stressful situations have already caused some of his skull to crack and his bones to break (yikes, painful). He hides a large crack under his cloak. Don't worry he takes medication for it. Regular doctor visits you know the drill.

He has a little obsession with shoes. A bit random, but truth, he collects special and expensive shoes just cause.

I'm also thinking of giving him some high functioning autism, I've done this with other characters before, and I don't necessarily consider it a negative just as less understood trait.

Let me know what you guys think.
