[aphverse-confessions]

KC should've stayed a mei'fwa in Upside Down Stories

.

[t4tdanvis]

malachiiiii :> idk i kinda went a little crazy w his design but i like it

[horse-shit]

so. thought process + background info

we read bakaridjan kone in class

i enjoy the story and have a lot of visuals for what's going on {wow who could've guessed}

we get to present on why bakaridjan is the best hero out of all the other stories

there's a visual aid segment.

"oh i should research as much as i can, since that sounds like the most fun!"

i. have looked up traditional segou clothing/patterns, what segou/fula people look like, assorted mali and fula things, and now i am on horse coat/eye color traits, how long certain breeds have been around, and which breeds are in mali since wikipedia didn't have segou itself but had mali— and when i asked if i should start early my teammates said it should be fine {good on them, they probably didn't know, but also oh my fucking god this is due tomorrow pretty much ?}

all of this for like a 2 second joke. dosoke zan tells the main 3 heros of segou that he took their protective items in disguise, bakaridjan looks at him, teleports onto the horse, and turns into smoke.

yes I'm gonna post this as soon as I'm done and I apparently wasn't even fINISHED WITH MY RESEARCH SHIT BECAUSE I HAD TO DO MORE TODAY AND FIGURE OUT WHICH DESIGN I WANTED TO USE FOR BAKARIDJAN. WHAT THE FUCK

[sweetiepotatofry]

I think making Zach a werewolf instead of Sylvana was a missed opportunity. Let me elaborate.

It would've made Sylvana's whole *thing* for werewolves at the very least be rooted in 'I married a human and he left me. Over my dead body is that happening to my daughter.' Instead of outright (fictional werewolf) fetishization.

It would've made a far more dramatic reveal that Aph is half werewolf. Kinda a metaphor about how children, while they love their parents, will never fully know them.

It could've added world building on werewolf and mei'fwa discrimination. If you spin it like Sylvana as a single mother struggled with finding a job, often times rejected due to being a werewolf, she chose to start hiding her ears and tail, leaving that box blank, even moving towns to ensure nobody knew she wasn't human. As time went on she forgot what her ears and tail even looked like.

It adds layers to her and Aphmau's talk before Aph turned. Picture this, a mother who had to pretend to be human, and a daughter who chose to not be.

The possible implication that the reason Slyvana didn't like Aaron was because she could sense he was the ultima. And the lore implications that could bring.

WE. COULD'VE. HAD. MIDDLE. AGED. WOMAN. ANGST.

[that-one-i-think]

Time for Tu'la stuff:

In my fic I have Tu'la having the Meif'wa population be the largest, with it making up around 55% of the continent. This means that almost every person in some way or another part Meif'wa, which is very different to Ru'aun's human dominated continent. A place where cross breeding between humanoids is incredibly rare/was incredibly rare.

With the increase amount of Meif'wa's and different relationships comes with a large diversity of Meif'wa types as well. They can be separated into four different categories.

Big Cats - While rare now, big cat meif'wa's do exist and are perceived to be the strongest meif'wa. Menphia was a Lioness meif'wa and was an incredibly strong fighter, given the increase in strength compared to others. The current King of Tu'la is a descendant of tigers and is one as well, supposedly. The other big cat meif'wa that can be found are cheetahs and savanna cats in the south and jaguars and leopards in the north. (There are rumors about families if snow leopards and mountain lions living in the mountains of Ru'aun)

Domestic Cats - These take up the majority of meif'wa but much like humans, have a variety of types. These meif'wa are normally smaller than most humans but due to them commonly found, finding an average is difficult as they are adaptable. Michi is a Bengal cat and Nana is a Turkish Angora.

Hyenas - These are the product of werewolves and Meif'wa based on the fact that hyenas are more closely related to cats than dogs. These guys, unlike normal meif'wa's, do have the ability to turn into an animal form but it is a bit more canine. Hyenas are rather rare as mixes between werewolves and meif'wa's are really uncommon but these children are a good middle groud between their respective parents abilities.

Sphinx - These guys aren't actually considered mei'fwa but are the children of Meif'wa and a human who doesn't inherit the ears and the tail. Despite not having the ears and a tail, they do normally have fangs and are a bit slimmer and faster than the average human. They are actually rather common and make up a good portion of the human population of Tu'la. A fact about Sphinx is that if two Sphinx get together their is a 15% chance that their child comes out as a Meif'wa. A good example of a sphinx is my Liochant, a child of a human mother and a very watered-down cheetah father. (Watered down as in his parents were a human mei'fwa pair as well as the dads grandparents)

First Meetings

haha I meant to post this with a small snippet of a story but then I realized I'm terrible at writing...

But the basis of that little snippet was that Nana was having a hard time having customers for her little bakery/market stall because Mei'fwa racism (also added on the fact that I want to have Ru'uan and Tu'la to have a rivalry with eachother. They haven't liked each other in years.) And then Aphmau comes up because she smells something really good, stumbles upon Nana and buys a tasty Peach Bread. In here, Nana would introduce herself as Ms. Momoko, kind of like a stage name.

[the-martyrfication-of-the-matron]

In history there is a lot of slang used to describe someone as gay and I want to expand on that for mcd.

"He is of the sea" and "He is much more ucustom to a fiddle bow than a bow string." Is a way to refer to gay men. Kul'Zak was gay and being the wanderer and the bard, a lot of his followers were queer. Again, Kul'Zaks religion is incredibly small but heavily knit much like the queer community.

"She fights with her hands", "She trimms her claws" and "She prefers to drink from the source" are ways to refer to lesbians. Menphia while being bisexual, was well known to have a female preference. She fought with her hands and while a Mei'fwa was well manicured. I also believe drinking from the source is rather self explanatory.

"They are rather companionable" and "Much like a forest, they appreciate all life" is a way to refer to people who love all people. Used to heavily correlate to Irene but as time passed she was straight washed and believed to be a Matron only.

"They are well fitting for priest hood" and "A devout part of Irene's church" is the way to describing someone who is asexual, as a lot of asexuals choose to join a church as to have an excuse for their preferences.

"She was once of pine and now of sea foam" is a way to describe a trans woman. With a lot of sea creatures having the ability to turn themselves from male to female is population calls for it.

"He is one who makes his own blades" Is a way to describe a trans man. With the sword commonly referring to male genitalia, a man who makes his own "sword" is a rather grand indicator.

"They are as fluid as a breeze" is someone who is nonbinary. The wind has no shape or gender, it exists in the world. This is also a way to refer to gender fluid people.

stealing these. if you consent.

The Ashida Trio

THE BABES ARE HEREEEEE HEHEH

Koron: A boy that inherited his father intellect, poise and quiet nature. Koron spends most of his days not speaking a word and throwing himself into a book. Because of this he struggles to make friends or even hold a conversation. He gets stressed easily, and has a hard time dealing with his anxiety, but as stated he's really smart and knows at least something about anything. 

Sam: Sam is a spicy kitten with a brave heart. He has a high pain tolerance, so he worried his parents (mainly Zane) to death. Most people mistake him for a werewolf rather than a mei'fwa because of how hardy and strong he is. He wears his hair just like his dad because of how much he idolizes him. 

Anna: Named after her grandmother she has a sweet gentle heart. However Sam and her are a bit of partners in crime when it comes to mischief. She's sweet and cute, but uses her miraculous magic powers for trickery and pranks with a bit of coercion from her brother. She's the most social and friendly of the trio and tries to make as many friends as she can wherever she goes.

[aphverse-confessions]

its your fav mcd-was-a-political-thriller anon and im here for a spicy take: Jesson needs to stop making blatant microaggressions as cutesy 𝖖𝖚𝖎𝖗𝖐𝖞™ questions or as a hahaha funny gag™ when werewolves and mei'fwa are written to be discriminated minorities.

In MCD s1, we're told that werewolves are dangerous brutes who are aggressive, but then we're shown how level-headed Bodolf is, how the western wolf tribe actively helps Aphmau and how they're genuinely good people. We even have a sweet arc where Donna accepts Logan for being half-werewolf and they both adopt Yip (who's the only surviving werewolf member of a GENOCIDE). S1 actively subverts the expectation of werewolves being dangerous or stupid, they're equals to their human cast members. ... Then S2 Ep72 (0:30—2:05) happens where Aphmau and Zoey are being fucking racist to Yip where the following conversation ensues:

Im sorry, my like for MCD Aphmau and Zoey TANKED after that scene oh my fucking god. Yip is a survivor of the eastern wolf village, a tribe that was murdered in a G E N O C I D E because of Zane and... theyre treating him like a fucking dog? B R O? It's even worse with Mei'fwa with how in PDH, Aphmau was asking Kai if he could go 'Nya!' to him or if Mei'fwa called the bathroom 'the litterbox' because MCD had an arc in Nahakara Village where Aph was discriminated against being a Mei'fwa. Also Kaitlyn being a canonical racist against werewolves cus they beat up her brother?????? I know jack and shit about whatever the hell happened to MyStreet beyond S3, but hearing about Aph's mom having a race kink is ಠ▃ಠ Like, oh my fucking god these microaggressions are awful, and I HATE how they're being played off as jokes because its so discomforting as a POC. These jokes would be absolutely fine if Jesson didnt made werewolves or mei'fwa victims of oppression/discrimination. Please, rewriters of MCD and MyStreet alike, please do not repeat this😭😭😭
