haha remember when garroth faked his death to get out of his arraigned marriage to nicole haha yeah that was crazy

[stillbreathing-aer]

aphmau's attachment to aaron is so random. she had so much build up with laurance and garroth and didn't fall for them, but then this guy shows up, she knows nothing of him and is all "oMg wHEre iS PooKiE??? 😰😰" FYM "POOKIE"???

forever upset with jason and what he did to the story.

I would have loved Leona to be Zane’s biological child.

I would love to see her freak out because she’s lived in a farm her whole life and now she finds out her father is a war criminal and tyrant.

I would have loved to have her be the next lord of O’khasis and everyone scrambling to try and make sure she’s not a Zane Ro’meave 2.

I would have loved to see Leona try to ask anyone and everyone about Zane only to be brushed off.

I would have loved to see Leona cry about having to live up to impossible expectations all because her father was monster.

I would love for Leona to realize she laughs like her father because of the terrified looks she gets when she does laugh.

I would love for Kiki to talk about when she met Zane and how he was a “real charmer.” And for Zianna to talk about when he was younger.

I would love to see Lilith and Alina watch her have her “Lady transformation” and they don’t recognize her at first. Leona still volunteering to babysit because it reminds her of her old life before she started training for lordship.

I would love to see Leona pretend she doesn’t like Yip because she knows it won’t work and she has a enough weight on her shoulders already.

I would love to see Zianna discourage her from learning about Esmund or Irene even though she’s a devout follower.

I would love for Leona to wonder if her father really did plan for her to exist and be an heir or was she just a side effect and a lucky preservation of the Ro’meave line??

LEONA WOULD JUST BE A PERFECT ADDITION TO THE NEXT GENERATION WITH LEVIN, MALACHI, ALEXIS, KYLE, YIP, LILTH, AND ALINA

UGH GARROTH HAS BEEN ON MY MIND LATELY BUT MAINLY HIM IN MY REWRITE which i REALLY need to organize one day but. i feel like aphblr appreciates hearing about rewrites a lot so. ill just ramble a bit.

i accidentally made one of garroth's core themes in the rewrite fatherhood.

firstly, he was the most positive male figure that vylad and zane had in their lives. as he got older, he felt more and more protective of them, he didnt want them becoming like his father, the same man that garroth is the splitting image of. he cant repeat the sins of his father, he has to make them better.

but then vylad literally dies and zane becomes an evil priest. so great. he failed.

and then he has to be in an arranged marriage?? not cool. so you know, he fakes his death, so does his arranged marriage fiance, and now theres a huge war, and hes hiding in a run-down village with the help of his former friend from a neighboring village. and he becomes close friends with the lord's secretive wife. she doesn't go out much, she much prefers to stay inside and read her books.

and one day, it blossoms into more.

garroth hates this. a secret relationship with the lord's wife? but, he loves her. and she loves him. their nights are filled with conversations of guilt.

and then, she tells him that she's pregnant.

they stop seeing each other, she hides her pregnancy from the village, her husband is enthusiastic. he's unaware of what's going on, and nine months pass and their child is born, the citizens of phoenix drop blissfully living their lives, not knowing a future lord had just been born. an illegitimate child.

garroth can't care for his son, and he never even learns the name. she stops visiting him, and it hurts him.

but althroughout this time, a young man named zenix came across phoenix drop. probably around eighteen years old, no more than twenty. scarred and traumatized from something he never told garroth about.

and so, garroth takes him in, and treats him like a son. he trains him to become a guard and garroth feels content. he's finally succeeding at this. he's helping someone become a better person! he's an important figure in someone's life!

and during this joyous period of his life, the lord is killed, and his wife is missing. the village was never told about the child, and chaos erupts. garroth and zenix must take control of the town as people begin to leave. garroth mourns the son he never got to connect with.

one day on patrol, a lady runs into the village, seemingly insane and claiming that a weird hooded figure was watching her and so she chased them. garroth and zenix helped her out, and out of the kindness of her heart, decided to repay them by completely helping the village out. this lady who barely even had any memories, who couldn't read or write that well, who was still learning about the history of the world, had taken the struggles of the villagers and put them into her heart, channeling their frustrations into constant work to rebuild the broken village.

it's going well, until, all of a sudden, a villager is attacked in the night and is near death. she saves him, and garroth decides to investigate what happened.

and then he is shot.

by his "adoptive" son.

pain of all types soar throughout garroth's body. he failed again. whatever he did with zenix, it wasn't good enough, and this was his karma.

and yet, he lived. and the knowledge of his failures followed him around as he tried to do any action for months. he hoped it would get better.

then one day, aphmau discovers a child at her door. a baby, one that can't even crawl yet. she discovers a note; his name is levin. she cares for him and brings him around the village, and garroth, in spite of his previous failures of being a father figure, vows to help the woman he loves raise a child, that unbeknownst to him, is his own biological child that vylad saved.

garroth has his suspicions as levin grows, but brushes it off and takes it to be a coincidence. he helps zoey, an elf aphmau had become close friends with, raise levin when aphmau went on her journeys. he taught him how to call aphmau mom!

aphmau has a journey one day and that day turns into weeks. garroth and laurance, his closest friend, search for her and discover she has adopted a ghost child and found another guard. a guard the similar age of zenix.

garroth is hesitant, but warms up to dante, and he and laurance act like father figures to the young guard without intending to. it comes naturally for garroth; laurance just follows his lead. and of course, garroth helps with aphmau's new child. he's making a difference again, he's helping!

and then, an illusion fools him and he falls into a depression. it hurts. he shouldn't be like this, he is supposed to be strong. he is the head guard. yet here he is, letting his emotions get in the way.

he wouldn't mind if laurance and aphmau got together, but to see them do so in private? knowing very well his feelings for both of them? it hurts. they must know what they are doing, there is no other way.

a mysterious lady comes by and offers to help garroth. over time, his memory becomes blurry until he ultimately blacks out. he lacks any autonomy now and attacks laurance. he causes his closest friends to be transported to a dangerous alternate dimension... all because of his own emotions. and to make matters worse, that lady wasn't just someone to help. it was someone hired by zane. the first person he failed to save.

the lady is killed and laurance's words cut through the spell cast on garroth. he has no idea what is happening, but he knows its his fault. he did something bad. and when a portal appears, he urges for them to go on as he fights off zane. he couldn't leave zane there; someone had to stop him from escaping, becoming more powerful, or even achieving what is basically immortality.

the minute that passes in the dimension until his rescue is daunting. flashes into another world where he reunites with aphmau give him hope, but they stop. and he loses his faith. there is no more zane could gain from being in this dimension, if anyone were to open the dimension, they would easily be able to attack him, no unprepared person would dare to do such a risky thing.

and so, he lets zane hit him. a deep cut in the back causes garroth to scream in pain, and he's close to dying.

aphmau returns. she heals him in their world, and he lies about his intentions, and returns to fighting his brother.

little does he know, laurance and aphmau had a few too much to drink one night recently, and made decisions they regret. they won't dare to tell him until much later, they can't risk hurting him, especially in such a vulnerable moment.

the guilt eats them alive. it is worsened by laurance's growing shadow knight urges. they're becoming borderline uncontrollable. its a living nightmare. he can't imagine hurting aphmau, no. he loves her. and he realizes that if she keeps worrying about garroth, she will hurt herself.

he comes to a decision.

he finds a way to open the portal and saves garroth, but costing the lives of himself and zane in the process. garroth is unconcious; he sees a glimpse of laurance, but is unaware of his death until he wakes up. he doesn't believe it, he wants to run, but he can't. his body aches. he's trapped.

aphmau visits him once before retreating to her bedroom for the next few weeks. they both go silent. they couldn't imagine losing laurance, yet here they were.

as garroth gets better, zoey allows for people to visit him. and there, he sees dante for the first time.

he's gotten much older.

there's barely visible wrinkles and blemishes on his face. someone he viewed as a son has aged beyond garroth and it's hard to handle. was this how laurance felt?

and then he sees levin.

he gets it now, this was his son, and he missed his life too. he failed. it hurts all too much, how dare he let his emotions get the best of him. if he had just talked to someone, maybe everything would be okay now.

aphmau eventually drops the news to garroth once they both got better that she's pregnant, and laurance is the father.

he's not mad.

he's broken over the news.

not over the fact that the two people he loved the most got with each other, but the fact that laurance will miss out on seeing his own child grow up, the same way garroth had done with levin.

garroth makes another vow to aphmau. he promises to help raise laurance's kid. he will be there for them.

he won't fail this time.

“Aphmau is the Royal Puppetmaster for the Empress of Aht Urhgan, although there is more to her than meets the eye.“—Final Fantasy Wiki

anyway. those posts about mcd!aphmau recreating her friends into harmless husks of themselves and keeping them entertained with something new everyday in those new aphmau vids live in my mind rent free.

[tanoroe]

Here’s the first few concepts for my Re:MCD (ps body types and all tha will be changed to fit the characters, this is more just a clothing and colour’s concept reference)

It goes: Irene, Aphmau, Armoured Laurence, Casual Laurence, Armoured Garroth, Casual Garroth. Lmk if you see anything I can improve on :]

[w4yn31ngm00n]

i feel like garmau likers [all 3 of us] don't really bring up the whole wedding ring thing a lot, at least not from what i've seen. like garroth probably would've noticed that it was the only thing left behind in the chest, so i wonder what he would've even done with it. i've had the hc that he kept it on him for an occasion like when he and aph were alone together after donna and logan's wedding or something like that, but ended up having it even to the point of being in the irene dimension [whether intentionally or not]. who knows though, i just feel like its something he would always keep on him, possibly even through season 3.

ALSO the flower wreath. i imagine garroth probably made it himself, which is so fucking cute cuz like ???? HE MAKES FLOWER CROWNS ?? FOR HER ??? THIS BIG GUARD DUDE MAKING FLOWER CROWNS FOR A WOMAN HE MET LIKE A WEEK AGO ???? his ass was so in love istg, i need to draw that so badly. anyways going completely off topic [kinda] but like in terms of things i associate with garmau, i'd say that forget-me-nots really remind me of them. mostly because the french mythology for it regards that of a knight and his lady and that reminds me way too much of garroth and aph, but also because they apparently represent respect, true love, and fidelity, which is so like them. also theyre blue. and garroth is blue. yippee. but also i think the idea of the flower crown that garroth gave to aph having forget-me-nots woven into them is such a sweet concept ==|:-3 sorry im like insane when it comes to laurmau and garmau and i love to ramble <3 anyways i don't see nearly enough garmau fans around anymore and i need you all to come back so i can yell at you [this goes for laurmau too even though i see significantly more laurmau content than garmau content]

[k1ngravensblog]

i am so glad we all collectively agreed to take over the MCD lore and just. make our own narrative of it because rewatching has me staring at my computer screen like: 👁️👁️

[roxxie-spirt]

Laurmeow doodles! I really love how these came out with an additional Elliot :3

[laurancezvahlslefteyebrow]

laury and malachi (aka father n son .. tell me im wrong i dare you)

[stillbreathing-aer]

that plan to dress aph as zane was such ass, "you guys share the same hair color!!!" yeah and zane's a ghost, how can you mistake a brown girl for someone who has never seen the sun

[mybrainsrottingwithmcd]

hey look its garroth mcd :0

yeah i drew the man finally. I was just pissing around with the background cuz i didnt know what to do then i ended up liking it so :))

O’Khasis in my head is really snowy, cloudy and in a mountainous area so it doesn’t get much sun. My thought is when Garroth ran away to Pheonix Drop (a far warmer and sunnier area) his very pasty pale skin got a lil bit tanned. Bro went through so much trauma and all he got in reward was some colour in his cheeks

Porcelain white -> warm beige
