#aphmau void paradox

[laurancezvahlslefteyebrow]

does anyone else wish jess would’ve continued void paradox

look i’m a sucker for multiversal crossovers and the concept was really interesting

[dilly-dahlia]

hi!!! what happened with Laurance's old VA? sorry i've been out of the loop for a while 😭

thank you!!!

hi!! idk if i’m the most qualified to answer this since i don’t have the most information and it might not be accurate so if anyone else wants to add please do!!

from what i know: a while ago (i’m talking MyStreet season 1/2) Sebastian Todd used clips from Aphmau’s Phoenix Drop High series for a blooper video he posted and it made Jess and Jason upset since he didn’t ask permission so they kind of ghosted him and Laurance wasn’t seen for a while the first time. i think during this time he filmed a live stream where someone asked if he’d ever come back to be Laurance and he said something along the lines of “Jess was a terrible boss and I hated working with her” (not exactly what he said, but a summarized version)

also during this time he was complaining about not getting jobs for voice acting which is kind of looked down upon in that community so i think that’s why people didn’t hire him too?

but anyways, obviously he was rehired because Laurance came back for MyStreet season 3 and MCD Rebirth, but someone (i don’t know who) said that he was just a toxic person and very difficult to work with

I’ve also been told that he had some mental disorders and they all sort of piled up and a couple years ago he had an episode and attacked some of his fans on social media, so…

I’m not sure what he does now but from what I’ve heard he’s changed his name and has assumed a more gaming/work out brand for himself. I’ve also heard he makes adult content now but I’m not 100% sure on that since I haven’t (and don’t want to) looked into that

again i’m not the most qualified person for this and basically everything i just said is word of mouth!! if i’m wrong about something please correct me respectfully and if you know more about Laurance’s original VA please add to this post!

regardless to say I think DJ Hansen (the VA who voiced Laurance in Jessica’s anniversary video) did a phenomenal job and I hope we get to see more of him!!

EDIT: here’s a bit more from the comments!

EDIT 2: here is another post that explains way better than I did and also brings up more recent points I was not aware of so check it out!

God I AM OBSSESSED with the ideas of all the absolutely silly interactions we could have had from Void Paradox with Laurence and Modzilla being friends. Like, the idea of Laurence and him becoming buddies because Mod is such a seasoned dimension travler and is like

"Oh yeah I visited Ru'Aun once, few hundred years back actually." and Laurence being so astounded and interested in the weird science shit this man does. I so badly wished they could have been just like ultimate bros!!!!

In my own rewrite stuff, with Modzilla also being Kul'Zak it becomes even funnier, with him just forgetting not to say shit about it cause Laurence will find some hidden mini Irene statue in Mod's office and be like

"Uh Professor, you said you don't believe in gods or magic, so why do you have an Irene statuette?"

"We used to be friends. Long story. Got stuck in the OverWorld for a millenia or two, ended up saving the world a few times."

".....I knew those mutton chops looked suspiciously familiar-"

"Fuck-"

Void Paradox Aphmau for all the five (5) aphblr people out there!!

[random-aphmau-questions]

If Void Paradox had one more character from another universe,

[necrocrafter]

I could have my MCD rewrite end in complete angst with no happy ending. I could write about how the void [the end poem entities] and their chosen [the player(Irene-Aphmau)] are and always will be connected, and how Irene/Aphmau are the Source/Center. I could write about how Irene/Aphmau are a part of the void that is simply wandering in the overworld. I could write about how the void is fond of their chosen. I could write about how the void isn't meant to spill into the overworld, and each time Irene realm hops, she has to repair the barrier rips. I could write about how her realm hopping/creating ends up creating multiverses. I could write about how when others break the realm barriers, the void spills and eats away at worlds unintentionally as it tries to contain itself. I could write about how it really isn't trying to destroy and devour but needs the players [Irene-Aphmau] to piece it back together. I could write about how after Irene slumbered away in her realm for 900+ years, others tampered with realm magic, making things unstable and constantly tampering with the realm barrier after trying to obtain that which they cannot control. I could write about how the universe was becoming unstable, and Hyria knew it was time for Irene to return. I could write about all the strange void encounters Aphmau experiences in her life and how, without her memories, she's afraid of it on a primal level because it CALLS to her. I COULD write about how Aphmau is a special case in the MCD world and how death is different for her [the VERY drabble that STARTED this thing that ended up becoming the MCD rewrite]. I could write about how after regaining the Irene Relic, something happens in between the space-time continuum, and Laurance gets blasted into Void Paradox. I could write about his adventures there before he eventually ends up back to his dimension, where everyone is just coming out of the Irene Dimension. I could write about how, in season 2, when Aphmau gets void burned, its consumption of her is more so an old greeting/hug. It sinks into her flesh, and it terrifies those around her because they fear she'll die, but the void has no need to kill her when she will choose to return to them on her own volition. I could write about how in MS, it's implied that Aphmau never got to finish raising her daughters (if im understanding MS lore right). I could write about how to completely stop the void from resetting the universe, Aphmau would have to give herself back to it. Forever. Return to nothing, and becoming code once again. I could I could I could.

As Modzilla says in Void Paradox, "It's all been caused by an imbalance, some kind of temporal shift happening somewhere out there in the dimensional universe. You see, the void is not some kind of spectral entity that craves complete and utter destruction. It's simply a clinical force. Here to correct the imbalance or anything that might be in its path to it BY using complete and utter destruction. Thereby resetting the universe back to its primal state. Nothing."

I politely disagree with people who’re now saying that Aphmau’s new video shows what Aphmau experienced under the influence of the forever potion in Emerald Secret. It personally just doesn’t make sense to me.

First of all, I’m pretty sure Lucinda says that they were all perfectly aware of what they were doing under the influence of the potion. For me, that statement would make sense to mean they were all aware of what they were doing and what was going on, they just couldn’t control their bodies. They were watching, trapped, unable to act.

Honestly, that concept of being frozen and trapped is a lot more horrifying to me then the Silent Hill Nightmare thing. It’s because the character under the potion lose their autonomy. They’re fully aware of what they’re doing but they have no choice but to watch.

It would also make more sense narratively if all characters under the forever potion were fully aware of what was going on. It adds to guilt Zane Aphmau and Lucinda feel about hurting the ones they love. It would make them question their autonomy, if they’re really in control of their own lives and actions. It also ties in to the themes of When Angels Fall, because in that season Garroth and Katelyn lose their autonomy in the same way.

Also, you’re going to have to hear me out, but it also relates to themes in Minecraft Diaries, specially Aphmau as a reincarnation of Irene. It’s called into question whether Aphmau is a separate person from Irene, whether she’s destined to follow the same path as Irene, etc. Also the whole part in MCD Season 3 about Irene taking over her body to kill that one lady which is reflected again in MS Season 6 where Aphmau and Irene interact again.

These examples all kind of fall under the same themes of autonomy and destiny and freedom to make your own choices.

Moving on, this is why I think it doesn’t make narrative sense for Aphmau to have been experiencing the nightmare while under the potions effects during the events of MS Season 4. In the new video, while in this nightmare Aphmau still has the ability to act, she’s just experiencing a warped sense of reality. It clashes with the idea of her being aware of what’s happening in reality, because in this case she doesn’t. She gets flashes to reality but I wouldn’t call that “being aware” of what’s happening.

Which is why… I think the new video takes place in an alternate universe.

I’m rusty on lore but I’m like 90% sure Aphmau confirmed on a livestream that every roleplay takes place in an alternate timeline/universe. That’s what Void Paradox is about; Laurance from MCD gets stuck in a different universe (Mod Mod World?) This multiverse is collapsing? Or experiencing some kind of decay through the void.

Anyways it just makes more narrative sense for the new video to take place in another universe where Aphmau didn’t break free from the potion. She’s stuck in her own mind, unable to process the reality around her due to the trauma of losing her autonomy. In her mindscape she still has the ability to act and she lives through a twisted version of the events of MS Season 4. In this universe, she’s has autonomy, and she’s not the “evil one”. But the truth keeps seeping in. She has green eyes in the mirror. She hears Aaron’s voice come through. The pyramid head guy who was chasing her the whole time wasn’t trying to kill her. He was trying to save her. She’s the bad person. Her mind just was trying to convince her otherwise.

Idk if any of this made much sense but oh well.

Please reblog/comment with any of your own thoughts! I would honestly love to hear any analysis or opinions even if I might disagree

[goat-guy-tm]

I'm in a very Aphzilla mood at the time of thinking of these.

[ember-not-amber]
