Aaron was the best choice for Aphmau in Diaries!

It just felt incredibly forced because of the fact that Jess kept waving Laurmau and Garmau in our faces only to surprise surprise with Aarmau

But if we ignore our feelings on the matter and look at all of the information given to us. Aaron was best for Aphmau

He's the only one who didn't try to force himself on to her/continuously flirt with her/get jealous because she was talking with other guy. He took the time to form that connection with her. Plus, he's a former Lord and is therefore the only one capable of understanding the situation she's in.

Don't get me wrong, I love the other Diaries ships to death, but canon wise Aarmau just makes sense

I feel like mcd should’ve gone with aphmau ending up with no one instead of the aarmau route. The love triangle with laurance and garroth got too messy and it was stressing aphmau out, even with them lashing out because of jealousy sometimes and with aarmau even though they had a friendship over time I feel like it was a bit underdeveloped and I think that the pregnancy arc felt like it just went from 10 to 100 really quickly, at this point Katelyn and dante were aphmau’s most loyal guards

I could tell that aphmau and Aaron were getting closer in mcd after rewatching it but I think the main reason that’s holding me back from it is because it seems like Aaron still hasn’t let go of lily (his deceased wife) he even named his adoptive child that he was raising with aphmau (Lilith) after her, there was a scene were aphmau and Aaron were in the forest and aaron pointed out the “lily of the valley” relating it to lily.

even the scene where aarmau was discussing the baby names the conversation turns awkward

i understand that fandoms have favorites but scrolling through any aphverse tag and seeing post after post about laurance is exhausting 😭

i get that he is indeed the fandom favorite but oml

[confessmau]

Am i allowed to say the amount of orientalism in the aphverse fandom regarding meifwas & tu’la as a whole is kinda weird or is it better if i just stay quiet about that and keep those thoughts to myself.

aaron wasnt actually that bad in mystreet. ppl villianze him like HELL but lowkey he wasnt that bad?? garroth and laurence were WAYYYY worse in season 1. and like aarons biggest flaw (IN MYSTREET) was just his weird ass character jump between s1 and s2

phonex drop high however...

yuck. he got real yuck.

im not sure if this account is even uploading anons confessions, but im going to say what I want to say anyway: does any older aphblr fans know what really went down with garmau fans that were extremely toxic towards jess?

i was pretty out of the loop since I wasn’t on aphtwt or aphblr like that back then, but it just seems pretty important to why aphmau mcrps took a turn so quickly behind the scenes. to the point jess even tears up about it whenever she’s confronted to talk about controversies from the past.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if that’s why garmau isn’t be endgame in some of her aus, because y’all done mess with this lady so bad, she can’t write about it seriously anymore😭😭😭 jibol

aarmau was gonna be endgame regardless, so idk what every older mcd fan is yappin’ about it being ‘forced’ bc aaron was introduced “out of nowhere”, while he appears in the same arc as dante — like what? either some of y’all LOVE to exaggerate, or just watched your favorite series with your eyes closed, or never rewatched it at all. (ps im not really an aarmau shipper, or a shipper in general, i just see it how it is).

Daniel has always annoyed me and I can’t figure out why. Is it because I find his voice grating? It is because he’s the “cinnamon roll” archetype? Is it because I didn’t like the other “wolf pups”? I like Blaze and Ein, so why don’t I like Daniel? I go out of my way to avoid episodes and minigames he’s in and I don’t know the root cause this

~~

[confessmau]

personally think garroth x laurance is kinda mid, its over hyped and i really cant take it seriously when its origins were so fetished by its own creation...

[confessmau]

To be honest, I’m neutral on jess & jason as individuals, and as a couple, only because it feels like a lot of anti-jesson fanatics are looking for deep information on their personal lives outside of the mainstream media. It just feels too stalkerish and a bit creepy to psychoanalyze these content creators like that.

HOWEVERRRR I do agree with them about the workplace abuse allegations that you can easily find on glassdoor AND also twitter documents about the blujay studios twitter drama back in 2017 when jesson decided to randomly let go their longtime friends / co workers for whatever reason. And it all seems like this crazy verbal & emotional abuse is always linked back to the ceo of cat face which also happens to be jason….hmmm interesting.

not only that the multiple incidents of lazy writing of east asian culture, the romanticization of toxic couple tropes, and playing into the horrible narrative that an abused child should just forgive their abusers just for the sake of family. There’s so many small things that just piled up to the hot dumpster fire that was caused by those two or the people they decided to have on their team.

I think the day jesson stop trying to overly self-insert themselves onto their characters, and allow them to be their own people is the day the world goes back to normal again. Mys! Aaron lore went south so quick once the ultima arc was revealed (I KNOW ITS BEEN HINTED SINCE PDH S1) and it kinda just felt like a lazy way to excuse whatever abuse derek and rachel put aaron through. I can ramble more about the lycan fam lore as someone who adores each family member, while also hating their development as characters —but that would just overlapped with my previous intention writing this confession.

not really a hot take (i think?) but i vehemently refuse to believe that mcd zane lost his eye the same way as mys zane. you’re telling me the man who has more enemies than there are countries in the world lost his eye to a fucking snowball fight? absolutely not

[confessmau]

hi i just wanna know everyone’s opinion on sebastian todd / his recent youtube video i thought it was a very interesting watch and i know ive seen many conflicting opinions on him before so

~~

[confessmau]

I think the whole “Aphblr is a small community” can also be used to like...mayhe consider that maybe people don’t realize they’re vaguing. If a person follows 5 MCD blogs and 4 of them all reblog the same post, it can feel like everyone is thinking a specific thing. Or even they just scroll through the MCD tag and see a handful posts about a ship they think is out there they may think “Why is this ship popular???” Not realizing its all from one person who is focusing on their new favorite random blorbo pairing.

Like I really don’t think every vague post is intentional vaguing someone. Sometimes it’s probably just someone not realizing every post about That One Headcanon or That Ship is all from the same OP cquse they saw it reblogged on their dashboard a lot cquse as pointed out. Aphblr is small. We are all reblogging from the same people

~~

[confessmau]

its hard to take ship discourse seriously in this fandom when i remember being in high school on wattpad and seeing people defend Zane x Garroth when aph was doing the mystreet games. when she left the "you two should make out- make up" blooper in it got baaad

not as bad as the inyuyasha stuff on fanfiction.net so at least it got that

~~

[confessmau]

changed my mind, send more vague posts actually

~~

[confessmau]

Some of y'all act like Aphblr is some big sprouting community when... It isn't. Yeah some Aphblr posts get a lot of notes, but most creators in the fandom are small and have small audiences. That's why those indirect posts always get found by the person they're indirect about. Please stop being indirect and vague posting and just come into our inboxes and ask us questions about things.

I love the ~idea~ of mcd!garroth. But I HATE canon Garroth. I love the IDEA of a gentlemanly, shy, quiet sweetheart who loves too much for his own good, but I feel like around Laurance getting trapped in the Nether, he starts to undergo a? decaying?? Of his character? When he adamantly refuses to rescue Laurance from the Nether and holds Aphmau back from doing so. And then when we get to the Irene dimension betrayal, he’s turned into a total self-centered conceited disloyal stuck-up cold douchebag asshole incel. I’m trying to rewatch season 2 and it’s painful to get through any scene with Garroth in it because he’s just turned into the most arrogant, selfish, devoid of empathy, cold-as-balls misogynistic asshole I’ve ever seen, and from the snippets I’ve seen throughout season 2 and season 3 whenever I’ve skipped ahead, I don’t think he ever gets better and I’m DREADING experiencing that. It’s gotten to the point that whenever he comes on screen I boo his ass and talk shit for hours because he will just not stop pulling dick moves. And I’m certain I’ll have a BLAST (sarcasm) when I get to season 3 and he starts being racist too for literally no reason, as if that’s ever going to be enjoyable. Why is he racist? Why did they do this to my boy?? Why did they do you so dirty, Garroth?? What happened to my sweet, adorable, shy, loving, devoted gentleman?? Where did my golden retriever boy go?? Who is this ASSHOLE that replaced him?? Where has my beloved darling boy gone?!?!?! WHY IS HE A RACIST PIG NOW???
