The Aphmau D&D side stories don't get D&D right at all. Mainly in regards to the characters.

Because.

If Jess had even an inkling of an understanding of the different races/classes/basic world building in D&D, she would've known which races/classes the mys cast would've been.

Why is Aphmau the elf??? She should've been a halfling or gnome cleric?? Maybe a dwarf if she wanted to be generous with the height.

You can pry "edgy first D&D high elf rogue oc" Zane from my cold dead hands. That man would've heard "you can make your character be anyone" and he would've made the edgiest, most traumatized little elf rogue you can think of.

Nana is obviously a Tabaxi and I'm thinking she should've been a sorcerer? It makes the most sense for her I feel.

Garroth is the only human there and he gets to be the paladin. Because MCD. Also DM gets a character be Garroth is such a nerd for D&D.

Aaron is a half elf werewolf ranger send tweet.

Travis as a tiefling warlock. TRAVIS AS A TIEFLING WARLOCK. JESSICA. IT'S RIGHT THERE. IT'S RIGHT THER-

hello it’s 3 in the morning as I type this but. one of the reasons why aphmau is meant to be the protagonist of MCD/Mystreet/so on and so forth is because literally none of this would happen without her. and that’s a core tenant of her character!! She finds people, she pulls them to her from wherever they are in the universe, they are naturally magnetized to her. She brings them into her life, again and again, and resolves their problems, again and again. She’s like the universe’s little handyman. She is a people magnet, on a cosmic level. She collects people. in a friendship way. And it doesn’t even matter how far away you are from her, she pulls people to her from far and wide, even across dimensions and universes!! Across continents and different towns !! She just… brings people to her! Universally! It’s a whole entire thing!

She discovers more and more new people, and every time she provides exactly the solution they needed to fix their problems. She fixes their problems. And that’s literally how the story of MCD and Mystreet even happens. The entirety of diaries wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for her, BECAUSE of her magnetism. Because of her active altruism.

She then provides a home for each of these people, resolving their issues and helping them out. She’s kind, she’s altruistic, she’s like…made to help people. Cosmically. she leaves the door open for anyone to come in and make themselves at home, she picks up strays everywhere she goes and gives them a better home. That’s literally how she becomes a mother, she collects children like stray cats because she never stops finding people and pulling them into the light. Pushing them to their fullest potential. Making them feel loved. She just has so much love to give that she pulls the whole entire world into her heart

And it even has in-universe reasoning to back it up, with her being the reincarnation of Irene!!! Because Irene literally did the same thing, that’s what an Irene is SUPPOSED to DO. She pulls the whole world to her doorstep and finds every single problem there is to fix and she fixes it! Because that’s her purpose! That’s her divine purpose! That’s her job! To help everyone! Her people magnetism is literally a crucial aspect of being an Irene !!

And I think MID’s Ava has it too, because of that. She’s likely the next reincarnation in line after the many Aphmaus, she’s the next Irene, so she inherited that crucial and fundamental part of being an Irene. Only difference is, Ava does not actually want this. She hates it, actually. She keeps magnetizing people to her, she magnetizes friends- she LITERALLY has a universal pull strong enough that beings from alternate dimensions or planets or whatever the fuck it was are sent to Earth and meet her. Billions of people on the planet, and the Daemos boys go to her. Of all people. Because they’re pulled into her, the same way Aphmau’s gang was. The same way Laurance and Katelyn and Dante and Travis and Aaron were. Ava has the same damn “ability,” but this time she’s spiteful about it because she just wants everyone to leave her alone and honey it is NOT working. The universe is so determined to give her a friend that it literally drops five dogs into her apartment and tells her to Fix. and she does not want to. but destiny calls, and she does it anyway, because she’s an Irene, and that’s what Irenes do. do you see my vision

[dantes-gf]

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

[bread-squid-uwu]

If mystreet s7 is the big announcement I will riot and beg and plead for my man Dante to get some justice

[iheartmyipod]

finished mystreet season1*sniffle* im gonna wait another 9 years and then revisit mcd with a fresh slate again goodbye aphmau

[the-martyrfication-of-the-matron]

Parents who at the very least fucking tried in MYS:

- Eric (iirc, he really is just trying his best for his family. Little weird in season 5, but honestly, who tf wasn’t. Wack-ass season)

- Zianna (I think girly deserves a little more credit, along with a divorce. She was at least there for and gave a shit about her kids, which is more than most of the others)

- Sylvana (she tried and the result wasn’t *that* bad, so she here too. Again, like Eric, kinda over reactive and, in season 5, a little weird, but istg Starlight had something in that water)

-Maria.

That’s most certainly less than half of them.

Okay I have one more addition to make, an honourary mention: Travis’ mother. She may have not been in the series, but let me tell you this, if she was, she would have girlbossed her way through it.

In MCD, she was considered a great hunter by a WARRIOR tribe (who would have had high ass standards), managed to hold off an ancient demon on her own since her teens, and continued to be able to do so whilst pregnant with his child and then whilst raising said child, and then she died to save everyone else from him (albeit condemning her son to a life of fighting his father in the process).

Like if she were to have been in MyS, and Jesson were competent writers, tell me she would not have been the best of them. TELL ME. WITH A STRAIGHT FACE.

[confessmau]

i just realised i worded my post horribely

i was meaning more if you dislike kim for s/aing someone, and then turn around and like say mcd!gene whose also impilied to s/a people, its sexist because your holding her to a different level on standard to how you hold men

BUT - if you dislike kim,AND THEN also dislike/fully admit other male charaters sa people its not sexist?

ty for the clarification anon!

while i do think that the fandom does have a sexism problem, liking a problematic character doesn't necessarily equate to endorsing/excusing their actions. you can like a character like mcd!gene perfectly fine while also thinking he's a piece of shit with zero moral compass. it's only really sus if the hypothetical gene fan has a history of excusing his actions and demonizing the women in his life.

the reason that kim is so unpopular is largely due to the fact that she's a mystreet exclusive character who was introduced so much later than the rest of the cast. a good chunk of the fandom were fans of aphmau long before kim was introduced and had plenty of time to make connections to older characters. look at a character like kawaii~chan, who has just as many apologists as any male character because she's been a fan favorite for like eight straight years in a row.

[godmademewithoutarms]

Wait I haven't been paying attention what wrong w zianna why do u hate her :000

I think it just a mixture of my hatred for fictional mother's + how fucked up the family is in each series.

I'm not a really big mystreet fan, I watched up to like Love Love Paradise (which ever season that one is) and watched Emerald Secret bc everyone was talking about it but after that I went back to ignoring mystreet. So I don't actually know what kind of parents the Ro'Meaves are, just seen some posts, heard things through grapevines.

Either way I got a iffy vibe from her but that might just be a me problem, she could be a very lovely woman for all I know

[annamatsusunshine]

This is me admitting to learning about dnd from Aphmau.. (my partner would be so disappointed in me)

Guyssss I fear that Aphmau is a core essence of my being and made me the person I am today

(I am not proud it is simply my burden that I have to live with)

look at the new band of weirdos in town yall my village is getting burned down 🤦‍♀️

[here1snyan]

Spoilers for all of Mystreet and a small bit of Mcd

So ur telling me. That in ms and pdh. In six seasons and like three prequel seasons. Vylad Ro’Meave. Gets 10 episodes that he appears in. TEN. Over 314 fifteen to thirty minutes episodes (including the side series, pdh and fcu, the spin offs, and the mini series, not including the mini games), Vylad get approximately 85 minutes of screentime in total, with around 40 of those minutes being in pdh, and 45 in Mystreet.

My poor guy got the Laurance treatment, with both of them being very important characters in Diaries, but being pretty much tossed to the side in Mystreet. At least Laurance shows up in more than one season of the main series, because Vylad only gets four episodes in Mystreet, (with three of them being solely Ro’meave centered episodes that he takes a smaller role in) and in those four Big Vylad Return Episodes, he doesn’t show up much without his brothers and ends up taking the back seat again as the main plot is taken up by Aphmau and Zane fake dating to please Zianna.

You’ll never guess what he does in Pheonix Drop High. He gets introduced to us, befriends Travis and Aphmau, and is then never seen without one of his brothers again until Mystreet, in which he gets like, 8 minutes of screen time away from them over the course of two episodes until the main arc plot.

Yes, I did infact watch all of the episodes Vylad is in and roughly calculated the amount of time that he was in each episode, even if he wasn’t talking. I would move mountains for this man.

When I watched Mcd for the first time, I had high hopes for him (and by that extension, poor Laurance) in Mystreet during my rewatch, because I hadn’t watched it in years, unless you count dubbing over s4 with my friends. Yay! Vylad finally shows up! Aaand now he’s gone. With no mention of where he went. And we are left to assume he’s traveling the world again. The next time he is ever mentioned is s4, by Garroth, once. And then radio static once more. I’m pretty sure at some point in s5 Zianna brings him up while talking to Zane but I can’t remember.

Vylad had so much goddamn potential in Mystreet. Affair baby? Canonically Pansexual? Tense relationship with his family? Usually keeps off the radar? Acts completely different from his Mcd counterpart? “Child Prodigy”?

They could have done so much more with him and it makes me so sad that he’s basically just a cameo character to please old Mcd fans and make them say “oh my god! Vylad! From Mcd!”. Yes, it did infact please me, but we get so little of him until he’s gone.

They could have removed him from the plot of Mystreet entirely and it wouldn’t change much. The whole Zanemau fake dating story never really goes anywhere, and thats all we see of him other than Pdh, where he is also neglected as a character, though not as much.

It’s not even the fact that they brought him back from Pdh and then did nothing with him. Thats what they did with Ein, and it worked flawlessly. Its the fact that they brought him back just to show us that “hey guys look it’s Vylad that guy from Mcd and like 5 episodes of Pdh!!”

You know what they could have done instead. Removed Kim from the plot and inserted Vylad instead. She showed up just as a plot point to get possessed. It also would have made Emmalyn a bit less weird in her re-introduction, because if Vylad was obsessing over Zane it would have been weird as hell and they wouldn’t have written that.

I would have watched tf out of an Emerald Secret where Vylad was in town visiting his parents and gets dragged by Garroth to help renovate a new property his parents bought, only for him to

A) get possessed and start acting strange, probably suspiciously glaring at Zane and Aphmau,

B) watch as Zane also starts acting weird, and doesn’t remember himself OR Garroth,

C) Witness as everything goes downhill, probably getting locked in the other jail cell with Garroth (LIKE IN THE BLOOPER REEL) and fleeing back to the cabin to try and get help from literally anyone while Garroth tries to save Aaron and the others, and

D) getting invited to Starlight by the Lycans, where we learn more and more about both Vylad AND Emmalyn, as she starts to recover her memories and tells Vylad about a man quite like him in looks from the past.

We could have gotten more of his relationships with the other characters, like him and Lucinda both gladly breaking into the place where Travis is staying, Not Alone Buddies interactions, his interactions with his brothers now that they’ve all been through A Lot, reacting to Aphmau’s engagement, him watching the other guys as they all fail to pull in amusement, commenting on just how much Travis has changed since high school, his reaction to Garroth getting zapped into a werewolf, an awkward interaction with Garte, the GF invasion, getting used to passing out all the time, missing his old travels and regretting ever going to the lodge, Garroth getting mind controlled, Aphmau’s sudden death, and the burden of both contributing to the possession of Travis, and the responsibility of helping to kill his father.

DO YOU KNOW HOW HAPPY THAT WOULD HAVE MADE ME 😭

plz bring Vylad back s7 🙏🙏🙏

[kurithedweeb]

As someone who has a sibling three years younger than myself, three years between siblings is a lifetime. If a sibling is more than one year younger than you, they are Baby for the rest of your lives. Since I’ve been thinking about the many brotherhoods in MCD, let’s talk about the Ro'Meave brothers! I’m basing their age difference on their Mystreet ages, which say that Garroth is two years older than Zane and three years older than Vylad.

Garroth used to tell his brothers bedtime stories, these grand tales of Lords and guards going on adventures to help their villages. Vylad would always jump in with random suggestions and Garroth would roll it into the story to make him smile.

Zane and Garroth used to spend quiet afternoons just vibing in the same room while doing their studies, or Zane doing priestly research while Garroth draws

Garroth loved to carry his brothers around when they were babies

And when they weren’t so baby-sized anymore

Vylad canonically plays the ocarina, his current one being a gift from Zianna, and he would sometimes sit in the courtyard outside his brothers’ windows so they could still listen to him practicing during their studies

Sitting for portraits was something none of them liked, so they’d make a little competition out of breaking each other’s composure, but they had to be very careful about it after Garet fell back into his obsession with expanding O’khasis

Zane was young when he lost his eye (which happened because of Garroth and a rock hidden in the snow during a training session with Garet), Zianna spent all day at his bedside praying. Garroth would only pray with her when he was sure Zane wouldn’t be awake. Vylad didn’t pray, but he spent a few hours here and there huddled into Zianna’s side with his ocarina or a book, sometimes he lay on the bed beside him and just watched him breathe.

The brothers started drifting apart after that

Vylad had always been closer to Zane because of their ages and how Garroth was often away training with Garte or in lessons on lordly duties, but Garroth was hands down his favorite when he was little, mostly because Garroth was the type of brother to dote on his younger siblings

Garroth was away at the guard academy when Vylad died. He took a break to go home and take care of Zane and Zianna, but he never really stopped feeling guilty that he wasn’t there when it happened.

Zane was a sweet kid, or at least he always acted that way, and everyone adores him because he’s great at putting on a smile and doing charity work and being super charming to the general public. When he first comes to Phoenix Drop for Donna & Logan’s wedding, Garroth sees the man the public does and is so proud that his baby brother grew into such a kind man, it’s devastating to find out how manipulative he really is.

By the time Vylad, now a Shadow Knight, made it back to O’khasis Garroth had already faked his death and everyone was talking about how it’s such a shame that the heir to the Lordship has passed, the Ro’Meave family must be devastated to have lost two of their sons in such a short amount of time, now the only one left to inherit the Lordship is that High Priest. Vylad is devastated and thinks he’s dead until they meet face to face because of how Garroth hides his face.

The reunion of the dead brothers is understandably heartwarming

[mouchiiarts]

Y'know.

Looking back in Mystreet s6, I wish Jess had included the Divine Warrior's relics. Like, literally the entire season was ABOUT the relics. It was about friends/family getting turned into them, Michael/the Demon Warlock was obsessed with finding Irene's relic (seems he's taken a page from Zane's book), Aphmau literally turns her friends into relics to fight the Demon Warlock.

So my question is, why didn't we have the OG relics????? No really, think about it. If Jess was so insistent on including MCD in Mystreet (it's her story so she can do what she wants with it), why not include the relics?? It could be a passing the torch kind of thing. And idk I think it would've been way cooler to see the new generation of relic users fighting Michael side by side. Y'know?

Zane could've been the one to find the relics hidden under the island. Maybe we could even get a flashback via magic showing the original MCD cast (Aphmau, Garroth, Laurance, etc) sealing the relics away so no one would ever use them again... until Mystreet Zane found them of course but tomato tomato.

And then for season 7, we could see the characters who got relics (Aphmau, Zane, Lucinda, etc) learning to adjust to this new magic they've been gifted. It definitely would've felt like more of a natural idea to merge MCD and Mystreet together imo.

I might just turn this into an AU actually-
