#minecraft diaries s2

When you're trying to live your best life as an anonymous guard but Lady Aphmau keeps forcing you to attend her parties

Heirloom and Honor:

In which we feel the weight of our history and bear the burdens of our responsibilities.

This took… way too long… here’s the background only version w all the little Easter eggs and such.

Some progress images! From layout to finish.

This is my most ambitious piece to date…maybe my last fanart for a while haha 😞😞

Some lore thoughts going into this illustration — feel free to ignore:

I was thinking this takes place in S2 in the Zianna Ro’Meave rescue arc, where Garroth returns to O’Khasis after many years to rescue his mother…He comes across their oldest (historically, the first in Ru’aun) cathedral and finds it in a wrecked and pillaged state.

The pious folk have pretty much abandoned the cathedral following Zane’s disappearance for 15 years and the Tu’la invasion was the nail on the coffin. The cathedral is completely barren of life except for the few intact stained glass windows that recount the history of the Divine Warriors.

Around this time it’s revealed that Garroth is the current holder of Esmund’s relic— is he anxious? Lost? Jumpstarting his quarter-life existential crisis?

I hope that everything here in this illustration captures my vision and conveys it to you. This is pretty much a love letter MCD HAHAHAHA

Ah yes I love the throuple composed of the hot competent woc, the slightly naive but ultimately well-meaning himbo, and the quippy twunk who came back wrong™

[gonedreaminggg]

[the-martyrfication-of-the-matron]

HEAR ME OUTR--

Twinkcole.

Nicole but she disguises herself as a twink in mcd s1 bc runaway princesses always need a 'pretending to be a boy' arc.

And.... obviously there's a whole li Shang/Mulan kinda thing where Dante is super into dudecole and then he realises she's a girl and is all... oh... no twink :(

still hits that tho

[cinnamontoastcroonch]

ok. i’m now unable to stop drawing laurance. here he is being his sassy little happy self for once. (i frequent angst so much so i find it so challenging to draw my favs smiling lmao)

also manbun moment

BUT YEA IF I LOOK AT THIS ANY LONGER IM GONNA GO INSANE SO IM DUMPING IT HERE

[whoopsimasecret]

'Garroth's character is grossly changed in Mystreet' Ok but like do you remember that one time in MCD when Garroth and Aph were at the tree place and he asked who the better kisser was out of him and Laurance? The goofy tone that entered his voice that was very reminiscent of his MS voice? Dude has always been like that he was just Going Through It in MCD. Jess won't but it wouldn't surprise me if after the Horrors of MS he becomes somewhat more like his MCD character

Separated and reunited time and time again ….

I think this is where I peak in art it can’t get any better than this…. Cadenza and Laurance I love you never change

[dantes-gf]

people start calling themselves ogs and then they say they started mystreet before they watched diaries…

[aphverse-confessions]

The fandom loves to take Levin and Malachi from Aph and give them to other characters (usually Garroth and Laurance) in their rewrites, and it makes me uncomfortable.

It reminds me of early Owl House discourse where people were convinced Camila was an abusive mom and wanted Eda to adopt Luz. That was tied up in a lot of white favoritism, and I feel similar vibes with Aph. Can we just let one of the only canon poc characters keep her children please?

Like I get it, it’s clear from the original series that the kids are close with Garroth and Laurance, but that doesn’t mean they need to actually literally adopt them, because reminder they already have two moms! That’s regardless of if you ship Zoeymau or not, because it’s clear in the original series that they see both Aph and Zoey as parental figures. Focusing on their lack of father figures honesty feels sexist to me. Aph and Zoey are doing fine raising Levin and Malachi during season 1, they don’t need any help.

‘you’re gonna go far’ by noah kahan is soooo mcd!aphmau coded it makes me SICK

[ink-going-insane]

update on my mcd rewatching journey! i finished all of it!! here have another out of context note from season 2 lol

i loved the series and it was great but i also feel like a lot of the characters were really messed up near the end and bits of the lore was kinda inconsistent so it bothered me a bit, but i was mostly upset about how a lot of characters end up being ooc at a lot of points (at least in my opinion). i would say more but uh. i don't wanna ramble too long...but i'll put some stuff in the tags cuz why not

i will say personally my least favorite season is probably season 3 because of both the time skip and a lot of other factors that personally bothered me. i still wish it was actually finished though :(

anyway time for me to now rewatch mystreet -w-
