MyStreet Headcanons (pt. 1)
Aphmau & Aaron / Katelyn & Travis / Cadenza & Laurance / Garroth & Zane & Vylad
AKA- How I make their PDH/MS actually reflect their MCD equivalents & how I lessen the questionable aspects
btw this is congruent with a MyStreet/MCD rewrite I have floating in my head and am slowly penning :)
(As someone who was homeschooled and then moved to public schooling later in like, I feel appropriately qualified to discuss this)
She was held back a year due to anti-Homeschool stuff but was supposed to enter PDH as a sophomore/is the age of a sophomore
Slyvanna got caught up in working so they could move to Phoenix Drop for the good school system, and then the chaos of house hunting and moving
As a result, Aph never took the 9th grade standardized test
Thus, she enters PDH as a freshman and is forced to repeat her classes
This is also why her and Garroth were best friends as little kids, they are the same age
By MS, she works security at an arcade but because of the high fatality rate she makes insane money (call back to her FNAF series; it might be her canon job?)
Because she’s been there for a couple years now & hasn't died, they can’t afford to lose her
Is naturally a great leader but ask her a leadership question and the crickets are chirping
Or she says “I’m just nice to them wdym ‘How do you make them listen’??”
"What do you think Vylad's up to?" "Oh he's in France." "Cool!"
Everyone assumes she's just still in contact with everyone or keeping up with their socials
Sure she's still in contact with a lot of people, but not to the point that she knows where they are and what they're up to at all times
Comes from being the MS equivalent of God, and also the self-insert of the creator of the story
She is unnaturally good at video games, it’s how she and Aaron met
They joke that yeah, Aaron totally carried her, the reality is she carried him
Dated Zoey after FC/before MS and still gets Christmas cards of her and her two baby brothers
If I remember PDH right, her and Aaron take care of a neighbor's baby (Lilith Garnet I think)?
Nope, instead, they do a 'Fledgling Program' in high school where juniors/seniors adopt either a sophomore/freshman or a middle schooler
Either way, Aphmau's fledgling is a girl named LG (Lilith Garnet) who's an outspoken, bright, sassy girl with a little sister she adores (Alina) but loves loves loves to tease
Dante is her (adoptive) twin
They do a survivalist thing in college together, get lost in a snowy forest, and now they call each other twins
Same birthday as Dante, like year/month/day are the exact same they were just born hours apart (partial reason for twin thing)
She refuses to do couples costumes with Aaron on Halloween because her and Dante are doing a costume together
Aphmau 100% cannot swim because Sylvanna tried to teach her when she was little and got scared of her baby drowning so she keeps Aphmau away from pools from then on
She is a 10/10 skater though, it's the only sport-y thing she can do
ice skating, roller-skates and rollerblades, skateboards, scooters, all of that
She can do spins and kick flips easily, but she's hopeless in other sports
Ask her to kick a ball straight, and yeah it's straight, just to her left and not forward at the net
Has kicked a ball behind her
She tries to teach Zane how to skateboard and he kicks the skateboard into her face (they don't go to the skate park together again)
Is genuinely so smart, absorbs information like a sponge and will infodump whatever obscure thing she's learned on you if you're quiet for 0.2 seconds too long
Not super senior, just regular senior
He skipped a grade in school
He transfers into PDH at like 16-17ish
By age/when he was born in the year, he should've been a junior
Derek makes him skip a grade because he doesn't like Aaron being at a public high school
He's like two years younger than Melissa
Anyone who's seen JJK -- Aaron and Melissa are the Fushiguro siblings
In middle school, Aaron's always angry and always getting into fights
He has a sense of righteousness and he will inflict it on others whether they like it or not
This travels through high school and into adulthood, but he's better at restraining himself as an adult
Is good at video games but Aphmau consistently beats him
It's half of what why he fell in love with her after learning Shu = Aph
Tried to tear out his eyes once after PDH S2, Melissa caught him and stopped him
It's why he wears his blindfold in GD and FC
He doesn't wear a blindfold in MS at all (until Emerald Secret)
Instead he works between PDH and MS to control his eyes with a motivation he lacked as a kid
Does boxing and gets Katelyn into it
They fight a lot but its like spars so they're chill
Bonds with Garroth during LLP and starts being dragged into his shenanigans without escape
Zane unsettles him, for no good reason, he tries very hard to make friends bc he's Aphmau's best friend and Aaron is consciously aware of the person Zane is
But he still feels some underlying hatred toward him and it does not make sense
He originally thinks its jealousy, but then they talk at the end of S1, and he's trying so hard to tamp it down but it's always just there in the very back of his mind
Works as a dog trainer; loves it but Derek hates it
Volunteers at the same puppy hospital as Travis
Their coworkers make fun of his last name (Lycan) and the fact that he works with dogs
The running joke is that Aaron is actually one of the dogs turned human and he's there to break them all out
Travis will reference this when they're not at work and they both refuse to elaborate
During Starlight, Aaron frequently leaves his and Aphmau's room to go to Melissa's and just sits on the floor by her bed
Most of the time, Melissa will wake up tell him just get in the bed or find a couch
It's because of nightmares
Before Aphmau, Melissa was the one who helped him control the whole Ultima thing, so he always turns to her on instinct for help or comfort
Goes to therapy at some point between FCU and MS, Dottie is his therapist and she's amazing at it
She also doesn't let Derek pay her under the table to tell him how Aaron's doing with control, unlike Aaron's past therapists
He and Aphmau are the "He fell first, she fell harder" couple but a little skewed
He fell in love with her in PDH, she fell in love too but when they broke up in PDH S2, Aaron never gets over her and Aphmau learns to
By MS S1, he's still in love, but she's convinced herself it was puppy love like high school sweethearts usually are
She gets hit with a truck that says "you still love him" at some point in S1
Aaron dated Lily (MCD!Aaron's wife) in FCU to try and get over Aphmau, it doesn't work and Lily can tell, she breaks it off with him because she knows she deserves better
Is the most mentally stable of the mentally unstable group while also being the most mentally unstable
His mental stability is an extremely solid skyscraper on top some dry spaghetti noodles
Aaron's the age of a junior but he's a senior, Aphmau's the age of a sophomore but she's a freshman.
I understand that Jess made the age gap as it was to reflect hers and Jason's, but Aphmau and Aaron are in a diff situation. You're can't really lie about their ages when you're in school together.
