Looking back, the way Garroth was acting in the last episodes of season one of diaries was ridiculous. Like, you're a grown ass man WHY are you, as the head guard, sulking in your room all day just because you saw the girl you've liked for literally 2 months kiss another guy when your village is on the brink of war???

#the pyre #in retrospect this is when the Garroth/Laurence character assassination really started #like the last 20 eps of mcd or atleast the eps after they get back from the wolf village quest #are my favorite in the entire series but I've never actually properly rewatched them #I usually get to ep 70 and then drop my rewatch bc something else came up #I haven't watched these eps since they first aired 9 years ago #and it's so crazy how much I'd changed bc middle school me probably felt bad for Garroth #but adult me is kinda resenting him and wondering how this manchild was ever my favorite character #like I used to hate Laurence and his fans and his ship with aphmau that until I rewatched diaries as an adult #I didn't fully appreciate his character #in retrospect he was prob the best option for aphmau or at least he was until he became weirdly possessive in season 2 lol #like I said charcater assassination bc now in ep 95 he's taken the role of head guard bc Garroth is throwing a tantrum #and he's not using his newfound power to make aphmau feel like she owes him or smth like that #which is a very low bar but this is str8 romance it was only ever going to have a very low bar #but this laurence is v different from season 2 laurence but tbh I never rewatch season 2 bc I hate it #so I can only think of it the same way that pessimistic middle school me who already knew that diaries would never be as charming as it was #in season one but I still watched anyway bc I wanted to see those small garroth moments #I was watching a ytube video about romantasy and honestly if jess wrote mcd as a book series #you couldn't tell me she wouldnt be popular #all this feels very melodramatic ya fantasy post twilight book to me
