made myself sad thinking about garroth reuniting with vylad after escaping the irene dimension and discovering that vylad has aged 15 years…. his baby brother is now suddenly older than him…. AUGHHH
i had this discussion with my friend earlier about this hypothetical mcd scenario and i want to know what the people of aphblr think;
do you think aaron knowing that aphmau was pregnant would have changed his decision to open the portal to the irene dimension, kill zane, and sacrifice himself in the process, or only solidified it?
i personally feel that aaron having that knowledge would have only solidified his decision. he says in the letter that he leaves aphmau that he didn’t make that choice out of a need for revenge, but instead out of a desire to protect aphmau and lilith like he couldn’t protect his wife and son. i think, knowing that he had another child on the way, he would have made the exact same choice.
that’s just my opinion on the matter though, so i’d kind of like to see if anyone else thinks differently?
need to rant for a minute here. i rewatched an episode of phoenix drop high awhile ago and i keep thinking about this one scene where garroth asks aphmau if she wants a boyfriend, laurance comments that it’s a blunt question, and garroth says “well at least i’m not afraid to ask blunt questions.”
like. JESSICA. how do you mischaracterize your own characters that badly?? garroth was always the more reserved one, while laurance was always more outwardly flirtatious and bold. that interaction should 100% be flipped; it should be garroth telling laurance that he’s being blunt and laurance telling garroth that “at least i’m not afraid to ask blunt questions,” not the other way around!!
it just drives me crazy because, after rewatching mcd recently, i’ve realized how much garroth and laurance were changed and watered down when they were adapted from mcd to mystreet/pdh. i feel that they had much more distinct personalities in in mcd while in mystreet and pdh, they almost seem like the same character in different fonts?? tbh, i think a large part of it was done to make room for aaron to be front and center instead, but that’s a whole other tangent.
bring back interesting and multifaceted garroth and laurance 2k25 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Valentine’s day is NOT a day for lovers, couples, or people in relationships. Valentine’s day is exclusively for elementary school students who each buy their entire class cute little cards with cartoon characters on them, messily scrawl their classmates names there as an act of love, and give them a tiny little candy packet.
that is the height of the holiday.
And you'll notice that the people threatening them are never labeled as "terrorists".

hottest take: this is wild but.. maybe white people should give a fuck about people of color EVEN when we dont share another form of oppression with them. maybe white people should give a fuck about racism perpetrated against ALL people of color, including the cis, straight, abled, male, etc people of color.. instead of only caring about people of color who have something else in common with them 🤔
since people are starting to see my mcd posts, i want y’all to know that i’m madly in love with vylad ro’meave and that i also think he’s criminally underrated. i’m surviving on mere SCRAPS of content here.
i love him so much. like genuinely. his character potential was fumbled horrifically and i stand by that
