OOUHGU IM THINKING ABOUT THE RO'MEAVE SIBLINGS AGAIN AND MAKING IT YOUR PROBLEM

Garroth had the most of Garte's "good side" growing up, and as he was their only child at the time, Garte and Zianna favored him. He learned kindness and empathy from his mother as she stroked his hair at bedtime; He learned responsibility and loyalty from his father as the king told him of the future in store for him. He learned love from them. But then his father changed. Garroth learned to protect from his mother, standing in front of her when Garte yelled, just in case. He learned to sacrifice from Garte, complying with the king's many demands and rules "for the good of his people."

Vylad was born into a cold world. Garte treated him well at first, letting the child ride on his shoulders throughout the castle. But that candle of love was snuffed without remorse soon enough. In the end, from his father, he learned hatred and disgust. He had to hide from it. Yes, to hide away and be invisible, that's what he must do to survive. Survive. Survive. Survive. That's all that matters. But.. this cold world was not without comfort. In his mother's arms, he learned pity. Pity for the woman cursed with compassion and pity to all the bleeding hearts before and after her. He learned fairness from his older brother Garroth, who never saw him as lesser or wrong. Finally, Vylad learned that the cruel machinations of the world favored the strong over the good, as he plummeted into the depths of hell.

Zane, perhaps, was doomed from the start, being the young and malleable last son of Garte. Once his brothers died, there was no light that could combat the darkness weaving its way into his soul. Oh, Zianna tried to hold on to him; but Zane had already learned so much from his mother. She could not keep her own children alive. She could not protect them, protect him, as much as she liked to pretend her arms were a shield. She could not love him the same way she did his brothers because she was weak. Zane did not care when his brothers died. He didn't cry when he realized their shared bedroom would be silent forever. He never stared at the empty, faded spot on the wall where the family portrait used to be. Those emotions were useless, as his Father taught him. Zane learned how to get power; to invoke fear; to be a leader; to manipulate; to crush all those in his way without a drop of blood on his hands from Garte. The infallible High Priest, the benevolent leader of the Jury - that is Prince Zane Ro'meave.

thinking about how laurance taking over all of garroth's head guard responsibilities while he was "sick" and doing a damn fine job at them was probably just salt in garroth's wounds. is he even needed here? was he ever needed here at all?

OKAY SO

First we start with the context: Laurance left without a WORD and the crew have been searching everywhere for him for 3 YEARS. They had no idea why he left or where he went, he was GONE and they still searched. Finally, they find him by coincidence during their trip into the Nether.

They're so fucking relieved to see him. Aphmau's voice sounds like it's about to break; Even Katelyn, who knew him for HALF the time the others did, was so happy to find him.

But Laurance puts up his mask immediately, mocking them and telling them off. We know DAMN WELL he loves these idiots, but he needs to push them away. He has to for their own good. It's better this way, he thinks. (UUE UEU😭)

But then he feels it: Shad is coming. No, even worse, the thing parading around in Aaron's body is coming- right where Aphmau is. He doesn't let the mask fall; He goes further, aggressively telling them to get out, even pushing the girls over a ledge.

Now Garroth, he has no idea what's going on with Laurance. He looks crazy right now. But as soon as Laurance goes up to him and tells him they need to leave, they're brothers-in-arms again and Garroth trusts his judgment completely.

Actions speak louder than words. Every word that Laurance speaks spits venom and hatred, but his actions scream how much he loves his friends, his family. How he would rather suffer alone than allow others to be hurt.

This scene IS Laurance. No ship bullshit, no pregnancy shaming (💀). Just a man, a guard, a brother who loves everyone before himself.

My roman empire is the entire scene of Aph, Kate, and Garroth finding Laurance is Season 3. In this essay, I will-

Having very serious thoughts about the Aphmau multiverse rn.

Also hey! If ur interested in reading abt this scene I drew from my MCD rewrite, that’s below the cut ! :>

Small TW: child abuse (not graphically depicted, just mentioned), religious trauma, fire, injuries

This is a scene from my MCD rewrite I’ve been working on. Basically in my rewrite Aphmau is a bastard child between a Lords wife and millers husband. The lords wife carried out the pregnancy in secret and in shame, and when she was born abandoned her on the steps of a convent where she was taken in and raised by nuns. Aphmau in my au has retained some memories and feelings from being reincarnated thousands of times over as Irene. She talked about this but because reincarnation is blasphemous she is mistreated and misunderstood by the other children and the nuns. She feels connected to Irene, but disagrees with the church itself. After years of mistreatment, she finally escapes the convent at about 20-21.

Zane is the first person she ever sees outside of her convent. After escaping to a nearby town, she finds it nearly leveled by flames, in the wreckage is Zane searching for an Apostate he’d leveled the town looking for. Immediately he recognizes her as a descendant of Irene (not yet realizing not only that but literally shares a soul with Irene) and attempts to return her to her convent, and essentially force her to be a nun. She’s badly injured, and has just picked up a weapon for the first time, so she’s pretty defenseless. But at the last minute before he can return her she unknowingly summons the Wyverns and they descend to protect her. She doesn’t have the chance to thank them as she takes off running into the woods.

Then from there she ends up at the steps of the guard tower in Phoenix Drop, badly injured, severely traumatized, and in a horrible state of shock. That’s where Garroth takes her in, and gets her back to health. I could rant a little bit more, but that’s all that I wanted to say. Anyways I was feeling insipired so I made this. Though if you’re interested hearing more about my Aphmau rewrite, feel free to drop anything in my ask box. Or if u have any suggestions! Always working on stuff like that.
