OK, LET’S TRY THIS ONE MORE TIME!! Me and my friend were talking about how Royal Tale Aaron is the worst actually and this was where that conversation led lol
Something I just realized about canon Aarmau is that it would've made more sense in ✨the lore✨tm if mermaid tales and Royal tale were canon to the mystreet/MCD universe, therefore cementing them as a reincarnation cycle rather than whatevez is going on in canon.
I am, in fact, nervously peering into this hellsite and ushering my ocs in.
HELLO EVERYONE!! Farrwoods here, or just Woods. Aspiring writer plagued by visions, how do you do. Been wanting to build up my reach – or, Gods forbid, an AUDIENCE – for my original story, Project Songbird, for a while now.
Now, perhaps, could I tempt you with:
(✦) Nature reclaiming the ruins of civilization?
(✦) 80s music and the PNW?
(✦) Lycans, with all their beauties and oddities?
(✦) Androgynous, ruffian women with academic mania and a love of the stars?
(✦) Labs? With scientists NOT advisable as parental figures?
(✦) Tragic, war-time lesbians?
(✦) Dystopians with corrupt organisations, and the persistent feeling you're being watched?
(✦) Archives? Concealing our terrible, human past?
(✦) An experiment (or two) revolving around immortality and the knowledge-hungry, contorted beings in the woods?
(✦) A horrific amount of symbolism? Orange poetry? Greek tragedy conventions? Parallels between the protagonist and antagonist?
(✦) Or even, how do you feel about 4th wall breaks, and an antlered entity with its withered hands tangled in the threads of fate?
Cause if so, you've found the perfect piece of media to hyperfixate on for a while (PLEASE). This blog will be dedicated to Project Songbird, and the decievingly beautiful land of Kalopsia.
Also hey, I love The Magnus Archives (HAPPY TMAGP RELEASE!!), stick around and you might see cool fanart every now and then 👍

If you got this far, THANKYOU!!! Here's some art of the protagonist, Skye Asterism!
when aphtwt called me a victim blamer because I said Melissa is also guilty of abusing Aaron and should be held accountable for her actions just like Derek and Racheal.
(I am a mental abuse victim)
If any of y’all want proof on this too (I know some of y’all roam on here) I’ll gladly put in the videos with timestamps where she blatantly gaslights and abuses him. ;)
lowkey the cinderella retelling with exes aaron and aphmau were rivals was *chefs kiss*. the DYNAMIC. the way aaron was some random vagrant who went from possibly being a king to robbing garroths castle for whatever reason (and is also an asshole)… aphmau being a warrior/fighter(?) princess who literally has kind of nothing going for her kingdom after their gem(?) broke. the DYNAMIC. they would never get back together but also have an on and off situationship at the same time. muah.
To me, despite one being based on the other, there’s never been a doubt in my mind I am a werewolf therian, not a regular wolf.
Being a werewolf means my humanity is inherently part of the package. I do not reject my humanity. It is just as much of a part of me as the wolf is.
I have a clear visual in my mind as to what the wolf looks like. A facultative biped. Moving around on twos and fours interchangeably.
Furthermore, my pack instincts are second to none, aside from seeking basic interaction. My group instincts all come from the hyena.
It also means feeling estranged from my human body in a way that is different from species dysphoria. There is another physique layered over mine. The human self does not feel right. I do not wish to have a different body in those moments, but something about the body I have doesn’t feel right.
Thinking bout how Aaron as a character was completely just fucked up from a writing stand point and how Jess can absolutely write a character that I'm sure aaron was intended to be like because Zane is right there and written well enough for a show aimed towards 9-13 year olds.
I'm assuming Aaron was intended to be a character that was intimidating and scary in public because he thought he was dangerous (daddy issues do that to a motherfucker apparently) but in private he was supposed to be loving and caring and soft and sensitive because he was finally able to be the person he never got to be growing up. But instead he's just not that.
And it's not like Jess can't write characters like that because once again, Zane is right there as evidence that she can do it.
I genuinely also think that the only times he is compelling enough is mermaid tales and a royal tale, where he isn't shoe horned into being the mysterious love interest who flip flops whenever and wherever because he's never actually given development in order to be able to be open with others.
Also I just love a royal tale and mermaid tales sm
Of all the Aaron’s, ART Aaron is the only one without heavy facial scarring because he was the only one not raised by Derek, so he had no reason to try and claw his eyes out near constantly as a child.

“Buried in Brambles”
Excerpt:
“Face me, beast.” Snapping back, she only tugged at the tie at her collar —red cloak falling to the ground.
The Darkness intoned a smirk in response, shadows spilling out from the tree cover before her. A clawed paw manifested on the ground in a solid step toward her and Loba braced herself.
Another paw came forward, followed by a ghastly knee made of exposed bone and sinew along with matted fur that ran up a hip. That hip melded into a broad human-like torso made of exposed rib and shadow musculature stretching across it. Most striking of all was the all too terribly familiar fanged maw that loomed above. An exposed wolf skull, whose sockets held eerily glowing pupils. Set to burn straight into her. Just the same as they had at on that night—
“—You killed my parents!” Loba screamed, words firing off before she could stop them. The looming creature before her grunted.
“Is that all? You and half the countryside.” He sounded disappointed, half torn ear twitching like a dog.
