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.
I feel like we don't talk enough about how Zane was activly working several jobs and jumping from one to another and made enough money to own his own house all by himself, and I doubt any of it was "daddy's money" since it's kind of obvious Zane wanted nothing to do with his family (at least during the first half of season 1), like dude was just working and vibing honestly.
Zane and Nana are simply one of the best pairings in my eyes but that’s solely because their height difference does not have an overwhelming GAP between them.
"Did you actually believe in what dad told us?" Garroth asked, his duo colored eyes unmoving from the dim sky, stars reflecting in his eyes.
"I guess I have to, now." Zane replied, his tone even. Unreadable.
"I dont think so."
An odd response, especially coming from Garroth. Zane looked at him, confused, his brothers eyes were now at the ground - watching the overgrown grass move in the wind.
"I think, maybe, he was wrong about it all."
