The way I forgot how much I adore them
Zanechan doodles~~
guys istg i can’t do this anymore JUST LAST NIGHT i was going to buy an aphmau series poster but didn’t bc i couldn’t decide which one 😀 and then this afternoon THEYRE ALL SOLD OUT. so now i am in mourning.
Brendan is who people think Dante is (Mystreet)
Brendan two timed Nana and Lucinda, helped her out only because he had interest in getting with her and dating her, and only started working at the beach so he can see her in a bathing suit, he objectified her and was a creep.
Meanwhile Dante canonically hasn’t been on a date since Highschool most likely since Nana, genuinely enjoyed spending time with Nana, comforted her after seeing her cry and offered to help her rebuild the house after it burned down, even offering her a place to stay, in love love paradise he was eating brunch with her and Lucinda and just hanging out as friends, helped her set decorations up, without the intent of wanting to date her or objectifying her, he just enjoyed spending time with her cause he genuinely liked her as a person. :)
YURI ATTACK ‼💥💥
can u tell Melcinda is my fav
i love all of them tho, also others that weren't on this page like Teonymau and mcd Katemau :3
Some art based off of my Aphmau hyper fixation rewrite!
So, I got hyper fixated on Aphmau’s MyStreet in 2025, which I haven’t thought but about since like 5 years ago.
Anyways, I like many others realized that the series had so much more potential than how it’s ended up, specifically in the character department.
So I started messing around with the idea of how I’d write it and the changes I’d make.
I don’t know how I feel about including all the magic and non human shit, so as of now this is a completely normal world with some remanants of magic for slight hijinks.
I also don’t want to delve into the romance parts just yet, and honestly would rather focus on the non romantic relationships first
I’m also going to state that I absolutely love the idea of Aaron, but I don’t like the canon execution of him. Fanon Aaron is far superior, and I’m going to do my best to channel that.
Please keep in mind that this is kinda just a rough idea of stuff I’d want to do, so It’s not all that polished!
High school:
- Aph starts high school as a sophomore, homeschooled previously because of bullying and over protective mom. She meets FC online and they talk every day. BFF/online siblings.
- She meets Garroth who’s a year older than her, prodigal child of his family leaving high standards for the others.
- Also meets Laurance, who is in the same year as her, friends until he moves away towards the end of sophomore year but comes back during senior year.
- Zane is a year younger than her, is a bit of a menace. Bad relationship with garroth due to the expectations placed upon him.
- She, KC, and Kaitlyn are in the same grade and become quick friends.
Collage:
- Aph and FC still talk every day.
- She and KC go to the same college, Kaitlyn goes to a different college that is nearby and meets Lucinda. At their college, Aph meets Travis and Dante. Lucinda Kaitlyn, KC and Aph have girls nights every other Saturday so that’s how Lucinda folds into the group
- Laurance and Garroth go to the same school, Laurance on a soccer scholarship, garroth for business. They’re roommates.
- Garroth shares several business classes for the first year with Aaron (who’s been forced into it by his parents). They actually become pretty good friends, at the end of their first year they both switch majors. Garroth realizing that business wasn’t actually his dream, and that the only reason he did it to begin with was to make his parents proud. His parents are happy that he switches to doing something else he loves. Aaron transfers schools entirely, but him and Garroth keep touch. [ while Garroth does, tell Aaron about most of his life and his parents and yada yada, Aaron really only says that He’s in a similar boat and that His parents want him to take on the business but it’s not for him, so while good friends Garroth doesn’t really know everything about Aaron’s family life)
- Aaron transfers college and ends up meeting Blaze and his friends, idk exactly what Aaron is going for but he goes and kinda disappears off his families Radar (or they decide to let him have a bit of rebellion) [Blaze quickly becomes Derek and Rachel Lycans number one hater]
Pre Mystreet:
Aph has an apartment, that turns out to be in the same building as Garroth and Laurance, who she’s kept in touch with since hs, but not as much as she prefers. This is where the two would really realize they have feelings for her.
KC and Kaitlyn have an apartment about 20 minutes away, Lucinda has a diff apartment but is at KC and Kaitlyn’s place often.
Dante has a job at the same place as Garroth, which leads him to getting introduced to Laurance, the trio becomes quick friends.
Zane, still a bit bitter doesn’t talk to Garroth or keep in touch, tho he went to collage for business and minored film. He’s actually the first to move to MyStreet.
Travis is off doing something else at the time tho he keeps in close contact with Dante, and occasionally calls Aph
Aaron has a house out in the woods, he actually opens up a dog training business out of his house, as well as a doggy day care. He really only keeps in touch with blaze, Garroth, and occasionally Shu (they’ve been messaging less and playing their game less as their adult lives start)
Lucinda and Nicole went to Hs together and buy a house on MyStreet not long after Zane, but before the rest arrive.
Mystreet:
- To be less creepy, Aph is the one who actually suggest moving to MyStreet to Garroth and Laurance. The landlord at their apartment changed the lease and has been getting worse, so the three collectively decided they want out.
- Aph convinces Kaitlyn and KC to join her, as their apartment is rather small, and definitely not in the greatest shape, and they agree.
- They all decide to get places near each other, and end up moving out around the same time, Garroth and Laurance only a few days ahead of them. They invite Dante, as the boys had gotten pretty close and they wouldn’t mind living with him. The six move in the same week, they still don’t know Zane lives there.
- Aaron’s family eventually find him through his dog day care, and are pretty disgusted in what he’s doing. His parents call him uncivilized, and essentially threaten to ruin his business if he doesn’t “go back to being a civilized human and move into a real house.” So he starts looking around and ends up in the City the rest live in. A few people see him around town, coffee shop, convenience store, grocery store, and around their neighborhood as he’s looking at the house there, and they think he’s a Hobo (he does in fact look like one a bit)
- When he moves in, no one really notices that it’s “the Hobo” since he really isn’t out that often. When they do l, they finally get to show Garroth that guy they’ve been seeing around town. It takes garroth a moment but he eventually recognizes Aaron. (Since he was till under his parents thumb at the time, Aaron’s appearance was much more well kept and clean.)
- Aaron actually bonds with the other members of the crew instead of just being their cause they’re Aph’s friends. He’s only really introduced to the guys at first, since Garroths the only one that knows him (and the guys were the only ones noisy enough to gossip about the “hobo”). So he becomes pretty close to Garroth, Laurance and Dante. He’s also pretty chill with Zane, their mail gets mixed up often, which is how they met. Zane likes that Aaron’s a pretty good listener, Aaron is happy that Zane’s fine with him just listening instead of responding.
- Aph finds out Aaron is FC, because he sent her a picture of the logo he came up with for his dog training/daycare site, and she sees the same logo as a sticker on the back of Aaron’s laptop. He had no idea she was Shu till she told him.
That’s all I really have for now but if I get more ideas I’ll definitely post them up here
request I did for a moot on twitter ^_^ !!! any zanechan enjoyers in the chat?
🎀
thinking of aphmau designs and ...
someone see my vision i think i might be crazy
KC plus Twilight Sparkle (who was originally supposed to be a hair practice for Irene)
Slightly successful side profile practice and failed face study (gave up on the other eye)
Hating is incredible. Look at them, they’re glowing.
I'm so curious about your MCD rewrite/AU so sorry if this is long-
How old is everyone before the timeskip? Who gave Zane the amulet if Kawaii~chan didn't want to help him with that? What's the in-lore reason that Laurence is Shad's.. decendent..thingy...? Can all of the Divine Warriors reincarnations(Garroth,Aph,Laurence,etc) talk to the people who turned into relics? Or is that just an Alina thing?
again sorry for the long ask :(
Haha! Oh boy you think that ask was long? Buddy, I basically wrote you an essay. Buckle up.
(Linking to a separate post on my alt that has all ages for s1 on it since otherwise it'll make this post far too long)
First off! KC is taking Brian's place as traitor, not Garroths. So KC is the one leaking info to Zane, not the one stealing the amulet from Laurance. (Also unlike Brian she's not kidnapping nicole or opening the gate.)
On that note, Garroth doesn't betray everyone because of jealousy, he would be early into his relationship with laurance and aphmau by this point so seeing them kissing in the woods wouldn't phase him, even if it wasn't out of character. Garroth DOES work with Zane. However, it's out of a misguided attempt to defend the village and his lovers. "Lord Aphmau's optimism is encouraging, sure, but she doesn't know what O'Khasis will do. She's an untrained nobody who's had a lucky streak, and she's naively leading the village to the slaughter. Just help me with this one ensy wensy favor, dear brother. I just need a little trinket your fellow guard his holding for safe keeping. Give me that, and I'll leave your little village and your... ugh, "partners" alone." Garroth importantly doesn't sequester himself away in his quarters. He's acting necrotic, jumpy. He's not sleeping, and he's checking and rechecking defenses in preparation. He's visibly running himself ragged in an attempt to justify phonix drop being able to defend against an O'Khasis invasion, but he just can't. Because in Malachi's castle, this was his greatest fear. that by entrusting aphmau as lord he doomed the village, that her optimism and helpful nature would not be enough and she would lead to the villages destruction. That him running away from his fate would eventually catch up to him and O'Khasis would destroy anything in its path to apprehend him. Aphmau and Laurace will not agree to allow Garroth to sacrifice himself, and Truthfully, Garroth doesn't want to. But O'Khasis will eat them alive. Surly, this is the answer? One favor for his brother, and everyone he loves can live in peace. Fear of losing everything can lead people to doing things they regret.
Laurance is actually NOT Shads decendent. Because... Shad doesn't have any. Alina was his only child, and after she died, he was too wracked with grief to think about having more children. But what Laurance IS is Shads vessel. Laurance spent MONTHS in the nether being tortured. There's no way the process of turning into a shadow knight took that long. He was being prepped as a host. Shad can only do so much with corpses, and Laurace not only entered the nether as an alive, able bodied skilled guard. But also a companion of the woman who is really similar to his ex-wife (irene). Laurance is functionally the PERFECT host, BUT... ungrth rescued him before the process could be completed. A massive loss after coming SO CLOSE. But the calling always brings them back, it's only a matter of time before laurance crumbles to the urge ans returns to the nether and into Shads waiting clutches. (I'm thinkin laurance has these like, intricate brands on his back to allow shad entry and control. He and aphmau might work with emmalyn, Vylad and Zenix to try and figure out what they are. (Irene probably already knows) but even if they do figure it out the calling is too strong and he enters the nether to protect aphmau and garroth at the cost of his free will.)
Yes, everyone with a relic can speak with the person the relic was made from. (Irene's relic is a little different because it wasn't made at the cost of her life, so if someone else held the relic they would not be able to speak to her but because aphmau IS her, she can. And she talks to her even before picking up irenes relic.) But here's who they would get to talk to based on the relic
Shads relic: Alina (basically Liliths sister now.)
Esmunds relic: his younger brother (reminds Garroth of Zane)
Menphias relic: her good friend (reminds Katelyn of Jeffory)
Enkis relic: his mother (reminds Travis of his mom)
Kul'zaks relic: his father (reminds Vylad of Garte)
Were these specifically designed to cause the most psychic damage to the new relic holders? Yes.
Also never apologize for a long ask again i love to yap.
can you tell us more about your mcd rewrite/headcanons? obsessed with your version of the kiddos! how does the 7 year time skip work? how old is dante? how old are nekoette and dmitri? does alina exist? is this garrancemau? does aaron exist? well probably since lilith is lycan, but i’m so curious and amazed and definitely sold on whatever’s going on here
OH BOY STRAP IN I'm so excited to talk about this.
for starters, the 7 year time skip is in place of the 15 year time skip, but since its fiction, characters like Travis and Michi will still be adults since we didn't meet them season 1 and don't have to adhere to preestablished ages. the biggest changes are really to the world and the kids. (keep in mind there are some other changes that happen in season one that would effect how characters work or how things play out, for example KC being the traitor or Nichole being a werewolf both heavily effect the plot that plays out around them and how their characters behave. i can hear your screams about KC but just trust me. hold my hand. we'll get through this together)
side note. the reason its 7 years is because that's the actual length they are in the Irene dimension in the episode. technically 7 minutes and 30ish seconds so its a 7 and a half year time skip.
Dante is 22 in season 1 and 29 maybe 30 in season 2. in season 2 Dante is much less in charge of guarding a village and more so, protecting the remaining members of phoenix drop after O'Khasis and Scaleswind burnt it to the ground and most people left. Its important to note that this time, Alexis, Kyle, Levin, and Malachi are not present. The only guard besides Dante is Nicole who was disowned by her father at the end of season 1 due to being a werewolf (its an allegory for being gay but she doesnt know that yet shhhh) and KC is staying out of a sense of trying to make up for her mistakes (she was the traitor in season one because Zane threated to have her deported back to tu'la, (where shes wanted for being a magicks user,) if she didn't put the listening amulets into her dolls and give them to the guard (Dante) so Zane could listen in on their meetings. but she ends up coming clean in the end and refusing to help Zane anymore) anyways BECAUSE of these factors and Dante's closeness with both of his perspective baby mamas combined with the fact that there is NO WAY Dante had any sex ed experience. Dimitri is born earlier than he is in the series. but not before Nicole realizes she's a lesbian and amicably breaks things off with Dante, staying friends (they're roommates for awhile). Dante and KC start dating and its through hanging out with Dante and baby Dimitri that she realizes she wants that with Dante asks him how he would feel about having another child. Which, of course, born-to-be-a-girl-dad-Dante is overjoyed about. Dmitri and Nekoette are both younger than they are in the series by the time we meet them. Dmitri being around 4 while Nekoette is about 3.
Alina does exist! sort of! she's not the same character as she was in the series. instead she is Shad and Irene's unnamed daughter who was turned into a relic. I'm actually shocked that plot point got introduced and the ACTUAL girl who was turned into a relic didn't even get a name. I also think it would be interesting if the people who the relics were made out of could speak to their holders and Lilith is the one who ends up with it instead, making Alina still important just in a different way. (shes also older, like 8)
hell yeah its Garrancemau. they get together near the end of season 1 and the series as a whole ends with their wedding.
Aaron does exist, but much in the way Alina does, he's a lot different. he's not shads vessel (that's Laurance), he IS still Liliths dad and he does still die but this time its for good. Aaron is significantly older than Aphmau and their relationship is not a romantic one, its a mentorship. Aaron is the example of someone who married a member of his guard and it worked out (changing Lily to his head guard because what do you MEAN she was the guards daughter) he's an example of exactly what Aphmau most fears, losing everything and it being her fault. he's actually a FANTASTIC parallel to Aphmau because in so many different ways he represents what her future could look like. and then he dies. and she has to cope with her first ever huge loss. and so does Lilith, and everyone else who had grown to like him. (he's less broody and stand-offish and is known better for his wisdom and advice) and he doesn't come back. we have to cope with that loss the same way aphmau does and find a way to move on without him. while she tries to remember everything he taught her. (also instead of the amulet blowing his town up it transforms him into the ultima and he goes on a mindless killing spree. that's way more blood-on-your-hands than accidently blowing everyone up.) I have more i could say about him but this section is already too long.
I'm happy to go more in-depth on any of this if you're interested! me and my sister have put A LOT of thought into this as we've been watching it together so if you want me to elaborate on anything PLEASE ask.
Dante is my favorite character.
