HI HELLO MY AU REVOLVES AROUND THIS

Random MCD Headcanons that have nothing to do with anything (Part 5???)

Sorry I haven't made any real posts in forever. My drawing phone broke and college has been a bitch so i haven't really gotten the chance to make anything (though I finally made some more progress on the next chapter of my rewrite). In any case, please accept this next installment of head canons I wrote like 10 months ago and completely forgot about in lieu of anything that requires actual talent. Love y'all:

Laurance lost an incisor tooth in a fistfight when he was 19

When he got turned into a shadowknight it grew back, now he purposefully goes out of his way to loose teeth just cause he knows he can grow back an unlimited supply

Hayden has a cat named Bog Butter. He’s the color of butter and he found him in the bog. 

Vylad’s favorite vegetable is avocado

There are three major guard academies in Ru’aun: one in O’Khasis, one in Scaleswind, and one in Bright Port. 

Bright Port’s is the largest and most well known

O’Khasis’ is the most prestigious

Scaleswind’s academy is the most difficult

The bare minimum age to join is 14, though most people join between 16-19

Every guard must have a minimum of 2 years training to earn the actual title of Guard, however to serve in O’Khasis you need a minimum of 4 and for Scaleswind a minimum of 5. 

Part of that training includes apprenticeship, so they do get some in-field experience with their mentors (think unpaid intern)

Technically you can train for up to 8 years, however most people only train for 2-5.

Garroth was in academy for 3-4 (although to be fair he had been trained in sword fighting since he was like 9)

Laurance went for 5 years and Dante went for 6 ½ 

Dante lied about his age when he enlisted though

He was barely thirteen

Both went to the Bright Port Academy however they were in different divisions at different times since Dante is younger, so they really only saw each other in passing and never actually talked to one another

The only personal interaction they ever had was one time at the academy Laurance was trying to get back to his dorm after a night of copious drinking and partying and could barely walk out the front door of the bar. Dante (who was pretty tipsy himself) ended up half-carrying back to Laurance’s dorm before going back to his own. Neither of them remember this. 

Katelyn’s two older brothers’ names are Kaj and Khareem

Khareem is the oldest, then Kaj, then Katelyn, then Kacey

Occasionally, when he is absolutely, positively, 100% sure he is alone, Zane will sing to himself sometimes

Dante once did a Zane impression in front of everyone and Garroth got so freaked out by how realistic it sounded he made Dante swear he’d never do that voice around him again. 

The worst argument Kenmur and Emmalyn ever had during their marriage was whether their system was heliocentric or geocentric (Kenmur argued the former and Emmalyn argued the latter)

In most colleges across Ru’Aun, there is usually some statue of Enki that students will leave offerings to before their big exams

Offerings vary, but it’s usually something like food, money, trinkets, or paper. It varies on how important the exam/how desperate the students are

Kenmur went to one of these colleges for a few years

One time he fell asleep the night before his final exam and he woke up like an hour before his exam was supposed to take place and in a fit of panic he dumped his entire wallet in front of the statue. He passed with flying colors.

One time at the Narhakan college someone left a life-sized horse statue made out of gold. No one has any idea where it came from or who left it. It’s become kind of an urban legend among all the colleges

Zenix never learned how to read and by god he isn’t about to wimp out now

Garroth tried to teach him once and it… did not go well

Let’s just say Garroth still owes Emmalyn a book from that incident. And a new table. 

Zianna came from the same region that Esmund was native to

Katelyn absolutely despises the feeling of sand in her shoes

Dmitri and Nekoette raided the Bright Port guard academy kitchen the first night they got sworn in

Dmitri also had to go to the infirmary after getting shot in the arm by one of Nekoette’s loose arrows

Laurance can play the piano and used to play it at some of the taverns in Meteli

Levin and Malachi both know a good bit of Elvish thanks to spending so much time in Yggdrasil

They switch to Elvish for the majority of their arguments

YES thank you

hi!! it’s me again!! today i bring you a little teaser for my mcd roleplay that’s gonna be coming up either this or next year!!

i’m really excited for it, and the guys in the mcd big bang server have really inspired me to keep on crafting. more updates about this will come soon if you guys are interested in hearing more!!

(under the cut is a little tidbit about roleplay locations)

every city in red is going to be an area/setting you can actually roleplay in!! it’s not concrete, and could change—but this is what i’m thinking. key below <3

circle with diamond — ‘capital’ of the phoenix drop alliance

circle with dot — major cities

circle — minor cities

diamond — settlement/village

animal footprint/marking — high concentration of that region’s nonhuman species

my old map from 2022-2023!! i’ll hopefully be updating this and . giving the regions actual names since the current ones are not that great

but thought i’d post this just to kick it off

also, if you like my work here, i recommend checking out my main blog ( @iyokko ) !! it has my intro and cool information about me

will be posting art later today <3 have a lot of images to catch up on

trip to walmart (???)

sup! will start to use this now i realize i keep answering questions on the other blog

also, while i’m here, if there are any active mcd/aphmau/myst discord servers aphblr is in (or just in general) i’d love a link! or any accounts you’d suggest following for rewrites + resources

Anyone ever think about the pain Laurance went thru after Ungrth ‘died’. Like he knows Ungrth should revive I think after like 100 years…? If I’m remembering it right? I feel like we didn’t see much of how that actually affected him other than the visiting Ungrths grave, and the reaction when finding out Ungrths grave was robbed. I need to sit and rewatch the episodes at some point but I feel like I remember it being mentioned that they were pretty close.

I was also thinking on the whole Shadow Knights becoming immortal thing, and like how they achieve that.

I think it would be interesting to see a AU if Laurance like, actually considered becoming a full shadow knight. And like taking the steps to get to be one (like killing Aph). All to become immortal, JUST to see Ungrth again. Like, if their bond was so strong that he would actually consider taking the steps to actually see Ungurth again, the Wyvern who SAVED him from the Nether, would he do it?

There’s probably some facts I got wrong or stuff I could add to this idea, but there’s so many MCD episodes I have such a hard time trying to watch them all LMAO

Either way this was fun to think abt and honestly sounds like an interesting fanfic idea…hmm

Aphmau Rewriter TRY NOT TO challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

Call your story or one of your chapters something like “Rebirth” “Reborn” or anything to do with reincarnation

Use canon ships only and don’t add any ship fulfillment this includes, Garrence, Garmau, Laurmau, etc.

Give characters more animal like traits, furry feet’s and arms, antlers, horns, large teeth.

trauma dumping and projecting onto the characters.
