hi!! so i’m. really really new to the aphmau fandom, aka i was super into it when i was like 8 and now my autistic ass got back into and actually joined in fandom stuff

i don’t. entirely understand how to guide through the aphmau fandom on tumblr. and i have a few questions- if you wouldn’t find can you answer them for me since you seem to be super into this!

what is an MCD rewrite and where do i find them- i assumed it’s people rewriting minecraft diaries but what sparked this and why?

what’s with the hate for aaron and aarmau- i don’t. fully understand it

how did garroth/lawrence happen (i love the idea)

is there like. a masterlist of aphmau lore somewhere so i can make sure i didn’t miss anything in my rewatch (i definitely missed stuff in my rewatch)

Hello hello!! Welcome to the fandom (we’re so sorry ur here its a mess)

I’d be happy to answer ur questions :D

“what is an MCD rewrite and where do i find them- i assumed it's people rewriting minecraft diaries but what sparked this and why?”

Yeah you’re right a MCD rewrite is people rewriting MCD and adding their own ships or improvements or different plot points. It started because the original MCD is kinda written poorly. Some plot points go nowhere, some parts are problematic, some parts drag on, characters appear and disappear, characters stopped developing and most importantly MCD has no ending and was abruptly discontinued by Jess so she could focus on Mystreet and other projects. People just wanna improve and finish the thing that means so mich to them basically. You can find them on AO3 and a few on Wattpad (I recommend AO3 tho its easier to find rewrites ur interested in cuz the tag system)

“what's with the hate for aaron and aarmau- i don't. fully understand it”

(There arent enough words in this world to explain my hatred for aarmau and aaron BUT)

Many reasons heres the main few: when Aaron was introduced he was supposed to be a side character but then he became a love interest kinda outta nowhere (my theory as to why is because Jess’s husband Jason voices him) and when he did become a love interest other characters like Laurence and Garroth kinda stopped developing and became worse to justify why Aaron was a good choice for Aphmau. For me they never had any chemistry in MCD, when its revealed Aphmau is pregnant with Aaron’s kid my brain logged out because wtffff how did they find the time and also why Aaron ://. He wasn’t kinda boring, his angsty past could’ve been used more but wasn’t he was just a brooding masked figure who followed Aphmau around. Then Pheonix Drop High happened and made things really weird. So when Aaron was 18 going on 19 he started dating Aphmau who was 14. Very creepy much yuck, they didn’t communicate well and then his whole character became that he’s in love with Aphmau but “he’s just not good enough for her :((“ and “i shouldn’t be with her shes perfect” and personally i find romance dramas infuriating, especially that kind of drama. AND YES AS A 18YR OLD U SHOULDNT BE DATING A 14YR OLD WELL DONE AARON. Mystreet they were the annoying lovey dovey couple with relationship drama they just rubbed me the wrong way in that series, I stopped watching after Emerald Secret and only recently forced myself to finish Mystreet and yeah no idc about them or their relationship. In MCD season 3 when Shad was introduced as a full character his whole thing is he’s Aaron again but evil and Aphmau’s sad about it and uuuuugg i dont caaareee. And I personally thought Aphmau wasn’t gunna end with anyone in MCD because she went on multiple rants about how that isn’t what she’s looking for and she has to think about her people first and she prefers her own company and then BOOM gets pregnant of masky mcsad face. Ugh. Basically Aaron ruined everything.

“how did garroth/lawrence happen (i love the idea)”

Garrence has been a ship since the characters were introduced and quite simply its because they have more chemistry together than with Aphmau. I’ve always been a lil uncomfortable with how Jess wrote Laurence and Aphmau’s interactions and Garroth and Aphmau’s interactions but Garroth and Laurence interactions were just more natural they had more banter they were sweet together. Then Jess did a bunch of queerbaiting with it and the ship got bigger, so many fanarts so many fanfics. Then it just never happened because Jess is a coward. Like it would’ve been so nice to see the hints and chemistry go somewhere but it didn’t. Everyone still holds hope tho. With rewrites Garrence is Canon :))

“is there like. a masterlist of aphmau lore somewhere so i can make sure i didn't miss anything in my rewatch (i definitely missed stuff in my rewatch)”

i have no idea on that one, i’ve rewatched MCD every other week for the past 8 years (autism go brrrrr) i’ve never had to look for a masterlist of lore BUT I’m sure someone has to have compiled one somewhere either on the fandom wiki or on Tumblr somewhere. :))

ANYWAYS YEAH WELCOME TO HELL HAVE FUN HERE

Sometimes I wonder if aroacemau is a vaguely popular headcanon for reasons similar to Christine Canigula from Be More Chill (those reasons being shipping two boys together, one of which being her boyfriend (and in Aphmau’s case them being her love interests) but liking her enough/her being too important to demonize/erase her)

You don't have to. But I'm very interested in seeing your list of gender and Sexuality headcanons. I have been grabbing bits and pieces from now. (Also maybe possibly some of your headmates headcanon's too if they have any want want to share? As they all have different Gene gender headcanons and all so that has me intrigued about their character headcanons a little too if anything else is different- :3)

It doesn't need to be a list actually, just please share some more gender and Sexuality headcanons with me pls pls

THANK YOU FOR YHIS ASK I LOVE SHARING MY HEADCANONS ok ok SO

i will be going off of my mys headcanons for this post bc my mys and mcd headcanons are pretty different (theyre like the same guys but also Not the same guys yknow). and also only including the characters i care about the most or this post would be 38042884280 miles long

dante - he/him, trans man, bi-gay (mainly just gay but still very attached to bi as a label)

travis - he/they/it, transmasc genderqueer, gay

gene - any pronouns, transneufem genderfluid + intersex, demiro ace bi

sasha - she/it, trans nonbinary woman, bi lesbian (bi lesbian sasha is real and true)

zenix - it/any, transmasc agender, aroallo bi gaybian

aphmau - she/mew, catgender demigirl, aroace (AROACEMAU 💪)

vylad - he/they, transmasc demiboy, panro ace

zane - she/he/ve, transfem genderfluid, bi lesboy

garroth - he/she, transfem bigender, turigirl (he does not know hes bigender until much later in my rewrite. shes in denial for a while)

ein - he/ze/it, transmasc libramasc, gay

nicole - they/xe/she/he, transmasc girlboy, grayro ace pan lesboy

nana - she/it, transfem xenic rosboy girl, bipan lesboy turigirl

under the cut are some of my headmates fav headcanons (i may force them to give me all of them eventually)

hi I’m the aroacemau anon from the confessions blog and I just wanted to say your ramble did make sense and was my point!!! Because of how deep i was in with BMC fics (one of my 2020 copes was reading practically the entire fandom tag on AO3) I’m always just. A little bit suspicious when a Lead Girl is popularly seen as aroace (aroace headcanons were also. Weaponized is absolutely too strong of a word for it but just used to try and basically justify hating a ship/just not shipping it in the owl house fandom so. I Am Wary And I Wish I Wasn’t) especially when there’s other ships involved.

Like is she aroace because of her character? Or because of what you want with other characters? And to me the latter just. Feels like a gross way to treat a character as well as the aroace identity because it shouldn’t be a tool for other ships

YES!!!

[mybrainsrottingwithmcd]

i’m gunna make an aroacemau comic. With angst and self loathing

and acceptance dont worry

(but first i gotta figure out what aphmau looks like in my redesign)

[mybrainsrottingwithmcd]

Since theres been a concerning amount of acephobia and arophobia on tumblr I’ve drawn my fave aroace hc Aphmau holding a few of the many many aspec pride flags :)

All aspec people are just as queer and as valid as anyone else in this community and hold an important place.

Get over it :)

(i made some of the flags a lil lighter cuz the colours were making my eyes hurt)

[aphblr-shipfessions]

Aroacemau but she’s romance neutral/averse and sex favorable.

everyone wants romance from her and she’s just here for a good time.

[mybrainsrottingwithmcd]

Shad for the character opinion bingo (if you’ve watched season three)

i have many issues with season 3 SHAD IS ONE OF THEM. (Maybe even the main one who knows we dont)

OK LISTEN I GET EVERYONE LOVES THE BIG BAD YADA YADA I DONT.

Its just Aaron again but evil. I’m an and its just arrmau angst just. Hhhh i found it boring.

Just wasted opportunity, I found myself skipping over the parts he was in (like even if he was mentioned. SSSKIP) cuz I just don’t care. Shad was set up to be this big powerful evil bad and I found myself laughing at him (the very few times I didnt skip him) rather than seeing him as an actual big guy. He’s talked up alot and he wasn’t done well. I just. I’m not sorry I know a lotta people love him but I just. Ugh.

He could’ve been more y’know.
