God there’s something so refreshing about seeing Steve meet Natasha after seeing the ways everyone else has been treating him

Like everyone at shield has clearly been ignoring him or just allowing him to completely isolate himself (not sure which is worse considering this guy literally just lost everyone and everything he’s ever known, loved, or fought for) bc Fury doesn’t seem to be fully taking him seriously, Coulson (and I’m sure others he’s met up to this point) is such a big fanboy he can barely keep his composure around him

And then there’s Natasha who meets him and immediately starts teasing him (by poking fun at Coulson’s excitement nonetheless) and that’s when we get our first (of very few) genuine Steve smiles in this movie

After being treated like a comic book character come to life (either not taken seriously or fawned over), she’s probably the first person since he came out of the ice to treat him like a person and that is SO important

Real quick concept that the shadow knights gave Laurence a back tattoo as part of his initiation.

Phoenix for rebirth (and phoenix drop) and some nether imagry with soul sand and the portal.

I’m too lazy to render this.

thinking about how when Garroth gets back from the Irene Dimension he immediately gives himself the task of fixing up the old docks. thinking about how the docks first came about as a direct result of Aphmaus influence on the town originally, her tasking herself out of her own good-will to fix up and serve the first town she stumbled upon and decided to call home. thinking about how garroth says he fell in love with her as soon as he knew she was a good person. thinking about how Aphmau paving streets and renovating villager houses is what made him love her. thinking about how the docks was Their spot, it's where he saw her off and waited for her to come back from all her out-of-town quests, its where they meet up after Donna and Logan's wedding and where Garroth goes to reflect after Zenix's betrayal and is comforted by her. thinking about how Garroth's love for Aph is ultimately an extension of his love for Phoenix Drop and her love for Phoenix Drop is how she shows she loves him. Thinking about when he comes back from the Irene Dimension, after inadvertently leading the town to decay, blaming himself for Aaron's death, and irreparably damaging his relationship with Aphmau his first course of action is to fix up the docks. He's fucked up and the only thing he feels he can do is what Aphmau did so long ago that proved to him she was a worthy lord and a good person: roll up his sleeves and pick up a hammer and nail.

S3 had a lot of terrible writing but lets be real it also had what is possibly the funniest incarnation of garmau that could've happened.

Garroth is 1) the second primary caretaker of Aphmau's children 2) having the most personal and honest interactions with Aph that we've seen in the entire show and 3) almost appears to be living with her??? maybe this is wish fulfillment but in ep 2 Garroth left the guard keep (the only place we've ever seen him live) at night after interrogating Zane which makes me think he was probably living somewhere else. Then I remember both Levin and Zoey's old rooms being vacant and long story short I can totally imagine Garroth just kind of. seamlessly moving in to help Aphmau after Alina was born and without any fanfare or discussion he just fuckin... stays there. It starts out as a friend helping a friend and then it turns into unspoken common law marriage and both of them deny any type of romantic nature to their relationship meanwhile Aphmau is wearing the ring he gave her back in s1 and her two daughters have drawings of a big armored man over their bed with the caption "Best daddy in the world" and no one bats an eye at it.

I can only imagine the whiplash Katelyn felt after being gone so long and coming back to her friends co parenting in the world's healthiest situationship and completely refusing to acknowledge that their is anything different between them.

it is so fucking trippy to be writing aphmau fanfiction as a whole entire adult.

like what do you mean i am right back where i started? what do you mean i’m cozy in bed writing the same damn characters in love like i did when i was ten?? how much of my current writing mirrors the dozens of fics i wrote all those years ago and why won’t i ever know?

Thinking about Aphmau’s character design in late season 1. The flower crown, the purple maiden dress,

And the sword strapped to her back

War is coming. She’s not sure when, but it will. Zane is forcing other villages into submission. He’s creating an ultimatum: join the O’Khasis alliance or be considered an enemy. He holds villages hostage by kidnapping their lords, like she has seen with Bright Port and Pikoro Village. And he burns villages to the ground if they dare speak out of line, like back in the Eastern Wolf Tribe where the only survivor was a small wolf pup hiding underneath crates and boxes

Phoenix Drop is one slip up away from becoming an enemy to one of the most powerful city-states in Ru’aun. They have a good handful of loyal allies, and yet the village itself is still small. They are small and they are weak compared to the size of the O’Khasis army

So in this time of peace, she is preparing for war. In an act as simple as building a treehouse for her two sons, she’s thinking about the inevitability of violence. She’s imagining her two boys climbing up the steps and hiding themselves away. They will be safe up high where the soldiers can’t see them. They will be safe. That’s what she keeps telling herself

When Garroth joins them and the two of them play with the kids in the now finished treehouse, they enjoy the few moments of peace they have left. Aphmau, with her sword within reaching distance. And Garroth, who refuses to wear anything less than full armor

War is coming, and it’s only a matter of time

Minecraft Diaries Cast when they were kids

magical girlies!

I headcanon katelyn injuring her eye when she was young. Nana and her pretty black hair💖

Ro’meave brothers

Laurence and Cadenza! There was alot of confision on my part since the wiki mentions either of them being the older sibling (Cadenza acting as a mother towards him and Laurence being an older brother to her) but in mystreet its much more clear that Cadenza is the oldest so in future works I’ll just draw them having a one year gap so i can draw them both as the same age

nicole being the only only-child😭😭😭

tweaking the fuck out over garmau rn– this rewatch is KILLING me

[apocalyptichearts]

“i was hoping to see him too…”

In primary/middle school i used to remake this same garmau piece for a friend of mine, so naturally, as i descend further into madness, i redrew it :)))

I’m pretty sure the right version is from sometime in 2016 and the left from 2017?? it’s been SO long

the mere concept of mcd and mystreet gaining new fans in the year of our lord 2025 fucks with me so bad.

i was in the laurmau/gaurmau TRENCHES. i was there when they dropped the nuclear bomb (aarmau), crawling through the rubble.

i experienced the fall of mcd in real time. i was huddled in my grandmothers bathroom trying to watch those last few episodes on summer vacation.

i had a book dubbed “my aphmau notebook” full of episode plots and character bios and pick up line transcripts and handwritten fanfiction that i carried with me EVERYWHERE (and i mean EVERYWHERE) for three years straight. i would assign my school CLASSMATES different characters and COVERED my binders in handmade posters and stickers.

i wore. CAT. EARS. and TAILS. to school EVERY. DAY. in fifth grade.

anyways <33
