Aphmau Garroth - Tumblr Posts

the nations bbg (ignore the fact garroths head is misisng i'm redoing it entirely bc fixing just the face wasn't enough lol, the issue was the entire head. The sketch looked fine but the lineart.. uhm.) anyways, my tablet is sooo much more saturated than my laptop and my laptop has terrible contrast so my phone is literally my only good reference for how my colours look, so i'm gonna have to edit the colours and contrast on this to the nines once i'm finished bc otherwise it just looks dull and boring lol

anyways, i love him and he's kind of suffering in this very moment but that's okay he's a man that's their god-given right.

I'm so crazy about Phoenix drop high garrance and like maybe it's half me obviously writing a fic atm, but also idk 🥰🥰🥰

Obvi it's partially being me a few months from graduation so I'm getting all the pent up highschool teenage angst and love and pinning it onto them, but also they're just such good versions of their characters. Pdh Garroth and Laurance feel a lot more like mcd Garroth and laurance, and I'm working on a headcanon for that and I'll talk about it one day, but idk 🥰🥰

Like they definitely had a thing going on that they didn't really speak about to anyone or each other, esp once they graduated BC they barely saw each other until they moved in together after university and realised they were still interested in each other but didn't know how to access it BC they weren't teenagers anymore and we're now grown ass adults who should realistically know how to handle it.

Just put a canon kiss on screen Jess PLS You ship them as much as us, and who doesn't love a good friends to lovers slow burn 😭

Imagine garroth constantly trying to show laurance songs, and laurance being so done with him because it's half taylor swift style country and half the most 2000's / 2010's fuckboy type music that he genuinely enjoys and is constantly listening to. Is that a photo of the billboard top/hot 100 from 15 years ago? No, it's a screenshot of Garroth's playlist and you can't skip any of the songs. Or commit suicide to escape. And Garroth is now banned from the aux in laurance's car because because hearing the slightest beep of house music fries his brain

vaguely pdh/mys

I mean, can you blame the guy?

Laurance after Zane and Garroth finally come home from Starlight so they can pay their part of the rent:

the original mojo dojo casa house

Ok but like- can we talk about Azura?

Because she needs to be talked about more

Okay hear me out because I had an idea. So what if mystreet had an overarching theme of unlearning violence/generational trauma/stuff like that

Basically I realized a lot of characters have not so great families/home lives and I realized this could work really well as an overarching theme

The main one is with Aphmau. She's supposed to be an Irene, but in my little epilogue/hypothetical season 7, she chooses not to be Irene. Irene isn't as intrinsically apart of her as the Aphmau before her, so she has a choice. Accepting the relic would mean she's no longer Aphmau, she is Irene, and that could entail leaving behind her friends and family and Aaron unless she hands out the rest of the relics, but while she'd keep Garroth, Katelyn, and Travis, what about Aaron? For reasons I'll bring up in another post, only Aaron can receive Shad's relic. If he receives the relic with his Ultima curse what would that mean? That's not a question Aphmau wants to find out the answer to. She has to choose between her mother, her fiance, some of her closest friends, and fulfilling a legacy. She knows she can't ever go back to a normal life, not after everything that had happened, but she would rather adjust with those she deems the closest to her, rather than alone as a goddess

The Irene before her didn't get that choice. The first Irene had gone through a lot and it turned her cold and unfeeling. She lost the capacity to empathize with those around her. So when Lord Aphmau came along, the dilemmas associated with being Irene but not wasn't even something that crossed her mind. Lord Aphmau developed as someone not Irene, but she never really had a say in who she was. Her thoughts, her words, her actions, they were all Irene. She suffered under that role and she wouldn't wish that on anyone. As a result, she created a degree of separation between her and Aphmau. Aphmau was born to be Irene, that was her destiny, but whether or not she followed it was up to her.

Aphmau chose not to become Irene, adding yet another layer of separation. An Irene will always come, will always be born in order to combat evil, but Aphmau doesn't have to follow her mother and suffer under the legacy of her grandmother, in a role she doesn't want to fill. She already did her duty as Irene, becoming her also isn't necessary

This can also be shown with Dante standing up to Gene as they're brothers, Garroth and Zane unlearning Garte's shit parenting (especially with Zane's history with the Jury and Garroth just kinda sucking as a brother), Katelyn getting into fights and stuff in order to protect Kacey because she feels like she has to fill in for Elizabeth's absence, and then realizing that she doesn't make up for anything

Okay that's it, bye guys

Me on my way to make mystreet/PDH garroth 10x sweeter

Decisions, decisions. How many mystreet characters should I give PTSD to? Obviously Aaron and Zane because they're canonically traumatized. Aph also gets it because she was forced to nearly kill Aaron. By that logic, Garroth and Katelyn also get PTSD although I'm not sure if I want them to have it because I feel like Katelyn is able to talk about her emotions enough that while she does have trauma, it doesn't get to the point of PTSD. Garroth will probably get it though. Daniel and Dottie should definitely get it since they watched both Aph's presumed death and Blaze's death. If Lilith will be added to my rewrite then she 100% has PTSD. Melissa probably has PTSD from nearly dying next to her mother, who actually died. Idk if Lucinda gets it, but she definitely has mass amounts of guilt because she thinks she could've helped more even though them surviving was literally thanks to her. I don't think Hanami (my name for KC) has PTSD. The only really traumatic thing she went through was When Angels Fall and she had accepted her death happily. Like girlie was fully ready to die for Zane, so when she ended up surviving she was just happy that Zane was okay (Zane is severely traumatized)

I think Garroth's trauma and struggles are so overlooked in canon honestly-

->He almost died being turned into a werewolf

->He was forced to almost kill multiple people. Including his own brother.

->While under the forever potions control he basically is like a weapon/robot.

->After his brother finally gets him out of the forever potion. His own mother is used against him to get him under the control of the potion again.

->He was forced to almost kill another one of his friends.

->He was experimented on as a kid. AND the guy who let him be expiremented on (his own father) is someone that has been considerably close to Garroth. With Garroth being the 'golden child'.

->Golden child syndrome

->He doesn't want to inheret the company at all but basically gets no choice in that. Living your life knowing inevetably you be forced into doing something you just don't want to.

He also seems unlikely to actually communicate about his struggles.

No you are so right, he has been through like everything. I feel like though he *might* talk to Zane about their childhoods once they start working out their issues with each other, but yeah besides that I doubt he'd really talk about his emotions

(I also headcanon him with a "healthy" dose of older sibling syndrome where he felt like he had to fill in for his dad's neglect towards Zane and Vylad so that coupled with needing to always be the golden child means he never learned how to express or handle his emotions beyond bottling it up. Unfortunately it didn't really matter how much Garroth did because Zane resented him no matter what)

In my rewrite I have holidays based on the Divine Warriors and one is known as Shadow’s Eve which is Shad's birthday. Its like a Dia de los Muertos kinda holiday where it mourns the dead by lighting candles and setting out pictures to hopefully keep their loved one's souls safe from Shad, and in my PDH rewrite Aph celebrates it with the Ro'Meaves, namely Garroth and Vylad because Zane just leaves them. Here's a very low quality doodle of it because I have nothing else to post

I reworked the ages because most of the characters do not act like they're pushing thirty

here's their ages at the start of Mystreet

And their ages at the end

This does have the unintended consequence of making things like 10x sadder. Like in Emerald Secret Ein is 22, Aphmau, Lucinda, Zane, and Kim are 23, Garroth is 24, and Aaron is 25. Like that is so young to go through the things they do. Also Blaze dies at 25

ok I'm not big into the mystreet rewrites even though I deffo understand why people do them, but this is my personal little rewrite of that one scene in season 6 when garroth and zane are fighting 😊

instead of zane moving his mask and telling garroth 'i love you big brother' (which like sure, but this entire time zane has been saying the same thing so why now is garroth snapping out of the control of the forever potion?) garroth stabs zane through the shoulder, and as he's falling to the ground his hair is moved off his right eye and garroth sees the scars on/over his eye -from throwing that snowball at him when they were kids-and thats what snaps him out of it

Because garroth comes to the realization that he's hurting his brother again due to something he has no control over and that's so painful for him that it snaps him out of the potion

I think this works better than zane removing his mask because like yeah, he's being vulnerable, but isn't their whole arc about garroth accepting who zane is as his own person, not just in garroth's shadow? The mask is a part of zane, he's always wearing it, so him taking it off is kind of saying 'I will change who I am for you' which isn't the right message in my opinion. I think it's better if garroth has to realize something, especially something like 'oh dang I'm hurting zane because of something Garte imposed on me, like I've been doing my whole life'

anywayyy my favorite trope is tragic brothers so I dig deep into garroth and zane 😊😊

Honestly I think of it as a symbol of the Ro'meave family, O'khasis, or the O'khasis monarchy rather than a specific religious symbol. It is basically a simplified version of Irene's sigil, likely adopted during the dark ages as a way to brand themselves as essentially the "light at the end of the tunnel." It's how they got to be the powerhouse they were. Until everything in diaries and the monarchy crumbled. Now the cross is mostly worn by the eldest Ro'Meave men as a sign of their family heritage and history buffs who are a little *too* into ancient O'khasis

what are other minecraft diaries fans’ thoughts on the use of crosses on the ro’meave brothers?

like for a little while i replaced them in my head with irene’s symbol since it’s distinctly not a cross but recently i’ve adopted a new headcanon that it’s a symbol of a different denomination of the religion. i’m curious what everyone else on aphblr thinks

You know that like. Perry the platypus meme? Yknow the one. "A platypus? PERRY the platypus?" So. Garroth

MCD Garroth with his helmet on:

Person (idk): Garroth?

Garroth: *takes his helmet off*

Mystery person: PRINCE Garroth!?

I truly and honestly know nothing about hermitcraft so I’ve sort of mentally catagorized it as like, The Meteora Valley to The Dream SMP’s Minecraft Diaries. Which I know isn’t true (probably) but now my brain won’t stop drawing connections and I’m like, this 🤏🏾 close to writing some wish fufillment crossover fic so,,, Here’s some parallels.

REMINDER THAT THIS IS NOT ME SAYING THE DREAM SMP AUTHORS ARE COPYING ANYTHING, JUST THAT THERE ARE SOME COOL SIMILARITIES, PLEASE DONT ATTACK ME.

First I need you to drop every romantic plotline in Minecraft Diaries. Yes, all of them. Even Aarmau. Yes, Even Travlyn, i dont care that it made you fall in love with the enemies to lovers trope before you realized it wasn’t healthy. i don’t have time for your middle school angst. I can’t make these connections all the way because every single protagonist in MCD is in love with Aphmau and that is too much for me.

1. In Between = Irene Dimension

Physically very similar, so there’s that.

connection to Time? One of the first things I remember about the Irene Dimension lore is that a minute there is a year in the overworld

2. Sapnap = Garroth

VERY SURE ABOUT THIS ONE BOYS

It’s just,,, correct

very much himbo

very much guard

very much “Im gonna be a grumpy serious man only when the lore demands it”

I love them and it’s correct.

WAIT OH GOD

3. Zane = Dream

MADE THIS CONNECTION AS I WAS WRITING THE SAPNAP ONE

The Dream Team is the Ro’Meave’s Pog???

Extremely Manipulative

far too many people forgive them (both in fandom and canon)

short temper

Zane really likes killing people as a character, Dream is really good at PVP

4. Vlyad = George

To complete the trio

also,,, just refuses to take part in the story at any given point unless forced???

Loyalties are anyone’s guess for like, a long time

Really smart???

Nobody like,,, ever listens when they say something is a bad idea (which they should because it normally is)

Okay, so the big one, I don’t think there is an Aphmau in the Dream SMP, but if there is

5. Aphmau = Wilbur Soot

HERE ME OUT HERE AIGHT

Least perfect match but you gotta gimme a little credit

Wil is sort of a Main Protagonist for a bit there

Played by the writer (at least when Wil was alive)

Refuses to die

Parent of a Blond boy and a brunet boy (I dont think Levin and Malachi are Tommy and Tubbo, however)

Very much “You reap what you sow” storylines

President = Lord

6. Laurence = Tommy

First connection I made.

Didn’t think much of it at the time. Just like, haha funny white man go brrr

But like, “Cassanova” Laurence and “I have many wives” Tommyinnit is peak comedy to me.

Short temper

very brash

was close with main villain at one point (Exile arc for Tommy, Shadow Knights for Laurence)

Impatient

Loyal (to a fault)

Stubborn

ripped straight from Laurence’s Wiki page “can make things awkward at times by flirting” How To Sex, anyone???

We love him, but he’s not very smart.

7. Cadenza = Tubbo

LISTEN.

Tubbo and Tommy had to have a sibling dynamic somehow.

Less capable at the start of the series, but definitely grows into themselves

More mature than their counterpart (Laurence/Tommy)

From Cadenza’s Wiki “isn't very aggressive but can defend herself very well” TELL ME THATS NOT TUBBO

Lord = President parallel again

idk I really wanted Cadenza to be more involved in the lore as a child.

May rb this post later for more Connections as a come across them.

you've doomed us all, brother.

garroth & zane

This took me two days and 3 monster energy drinks, but here he is garroth ro'meave. Now if you excuse me I'm going to crash.
