#Jessica could have easily made the whole “he sacrificed himself to kill Zane” and the “Shad possessed his corpse” plotline w/ them only

Aaron is so much more likable in Mcd than Mystreet (which I know isn't a very high bar but c'mon)

First reason being that he isn't a 19 y/o in love with a 14 y/o. We may not have confirmed ages but they are very much both adults when they first meet.

Second reason, he was a lot easier to sympathise with. He wasn't interesting beyond his backstory (to me at least), but he sure as hell didn't deserve everything he went through.

The only complaints I have for mcd!Aaron are based soley in the fact that he was made into a love interest. He needed therapy - he wasn't yet over the deaths of the people in his village, much less the deaths of his wife and son.

It would have made much more sense for him to be a mentor of sorts for Aphmau. Helping her be a better lord and teaching her the ropes, but no. He had to be a love interest/one night stand who went and got himself killed the very next day, leaving her pregnant and mourning him.
