MyStreet Headcanons (pt. 4)
Aphmau & Aaron / Katelyn & Travis / Laurance & Cadenza / 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 :)
MCD Ro'Maeve Brothers Headcanons (Coming Soon)
Garroth
So, so, so stressed
Literally, PDH!Garroth is the perfect modern version of MCD!Garroth purely due to their stress levels being appropriately equivalent
(keep in mind ages and era, PDH!Garroth's stress levels are appropriately equivalent to MCD!Garroth's, not the exact same)
He's Captain of the Baseball Team, Class President (Katelyn is VP and she's so mad about it), on the Ru'Aun/Minecraft equivalent of the National Society of High School Scholars, Valedictorian, etc
He is that cousin your parents compare you to at every family gathering
Not Mentally Stable but He's Trying
In freshman year, Garroth convinces Zianna that he needs twice as much food for lunch and shares with Laurance (Zianna falls victim to her oldest saying it's totally normal for a "growing boy" to need double the portions as her pediatrician suggests)
He is such a good friend
Has a breakdown in freshman year of college and ends up running away from his family to Laurance's house
Is it running away if he's an adult?
Lol he's the prodigal son
Anyways, he doesn't go back to college
Ends up joining the military bc college didn't have enough rules for him to follow and he doesn't know how to function without a thousand things restricting him
Serves for like two terms (idk how military works) before coming back
He works construction during MS S1-S3 and is forced to quit for Emerald Secret
He knows how to break doors with one punch because he's built them and learned how to demolish them for demo days
Starts volunteering at the fire station with Laurance during Lovers’ Lane
Is not as much of a dunce as canon
He's genuinely really smart, extremely people aware, charming to an annoying extent, but as of his college breakdown, he just lets loose
He says what's on his mind, he speaks his truths, he eats what he wants, goes where he wants, does whatever he feels like--and if that's buying an unholy amount of feathers to woo the girl he's had a crush on since high school, then he's doing that
He clings to his crush on Aphmau because it's the first real thing that He wanted, not Garte, not Zianna, since Zane was born
He is his most honest self in MS
Zane
You know how Garroth's that cousin you're always compared to? "Why aren't you more like Garroth?" "He was valedictorian!" "He got 100 in every class all throughout middle school and got 95+ in high school!" "He was captain of the baseball team!”
Now make that your big brother
Zane is compared to Garroth from the moment he's born
He hates it
At first he looks up to Garroth bc Garroth is so good and how could he do any wrong?
Obviously he starts to feel overshadowed
It doesn’t help that Zianna dotes on Vylad when they’re really little out of fear he will feel different from his brothers
He can't do as good as Garroth did so he seeks attention by doing far worse
Starts acting out in middle school, gets worse in high school when Vylad accelerates a grade
In Graduation Days, Aphmau says that Zane "made everyone's lives hell" during junior and senior year with his Shadow Knights
I've chosen to translate that as he became the literal bane of everyone's existence
Has blackmail on almost the entire PDH faculty and the district board of education, he rules PDH for all intents and purposes
Nearly gets arrested/expelled/sent to juvie after Nicole gets her dad involved, replaces the whole faculty, and ends his reign of terror but the threat still lingers
Only reason he isn't in juvie is because Garte pays off about everyone to keep quiet and keep his son from going to jail and causing a scandal
Zianna thinks he can do no wrong so after a summer of being essentially on house arrest she gets him into FCU
He mellows out by MS, he's no longer the tyrant king of the school but the HOA Karen (that's basically canon I mean have you seen him in S1?)
Has measured Garroth/Laurance/Dante/Travis's lawn multiple times and hit them with a fine when it's 0.01 inch too tall or too short
Has fined them for packages on the street, for not shoveling their driveway, for the hot tub in their backyard, everything he could find
Had a cowboy phase as a little kid (homage to Kestin (his VA))
He blackmailed Vylad with being an affair child into joining the SK's in high school
Even while living with Garroth in Lovers’ Lane, when he’s especially mad, he will walk outside, measure their definitely not Up To HOA Regs lawn, and slam a fine notice on Garroth’s bedroom door
Garroth never pays him but he does buy Zane’s favorite consumer snack (ie. favorite snack not homemade by KC or Zianna)
As of late S1 (Vylad's arrival), he gets extreme embarrassment the moment someone mentions him in high school
Has literal, physical plans on how to take over the world but burns them before moving in with Garroth and Laurance
Garroth didn't blind his eye!!!!
He covers one eye because of the Forever Potion experiments, the reason Garte pulled him and Garroth out is because one of Zane's eyes is permanently green (like both Travis' are)
Zane believes he just has heterochromatic eyes, but kids used to always ask about it so he hides it because it was annoying and then he just preferred to keep it hidden
He wears an eyepatch to keep it hidden even when his hair moves
For Minecraft/Mystreet Magic reasons, if he took off the eye patch, he could see in the dark only through that eye
Had a crush on Katelyn in high school
He doesn't realize this, but the reason for his animosity towards Laurance is because kid him saw Laurance's friendship with Garroth as Laurance stealing Garroth from him
Also the reason why he hates Aphmau during high school bc she's friends with Vylad
Aka despite claiming and actively trying to hate his brothers:
Zane loves his brothers
He was just trying very hard to prove that he hates them
Especially in high school...
He and Vylad do NOT get along bc of SK's in high school
Remember how in S1, Vylad just sorta says "Hi Zane" versus runs and hugs Garroth? Yeah
As soon as he sees Vylad in S1, Zane immediately regrets 100% of his actions in high school
He tries to apologize but Vylad avoids him, the closest they get to interacting is the fake dating arc, and Zane hates it bc he's realizing he actually cares about his brothers and he definitely screwed up with his little brother
He got a degree in finance at FCU
Intends to take over the family company bc Garroth doesn't want it and no way is Vylad taking it
Works at Ro'Maeve Co., has a company credit card but never uses it and instead uses the family card that's unlimited
Vylad
Garroth was Garte's golden child who had to do everything perfectly
Zane was Zianna's baby boy who could do no wrong
As a kid, Zianna tried to make sure Vylad didn't feel different from them then Zane started acting out for attention and she fell for it
Basically raises himself
Garroth tries to be a good big brother but is usually too busy
He is 3 years younger than Zane, but in preschool Zianna fought for him to start early (he was a smart kid, Garroth and Zane used to teach him the things they were learning so he could do basic math and by like 4)
He nearly got kicked back down a grade because he refused to talk in class
Had a Parent-Teacher meeting and he tells Zianna “She talks to me like I’m stupid, why would I listen to her? Dad says—“ And Zianna covers his mouth and tells the teacher he can talk just fine, and he’s plenty smart, so please stop treating him like a baby
Aaron skipping a grade leads to Garte forcing Vylad to skip two grades and start high school early (he passes, the certified child prodigy) and starts at PDH on the second week of classes
The Most Chill Guy but Very insecure throughout high school
Knows he's an affair child and thinks that's why Garte ignores him (he's right) and why Zane hates him (no it's because Zianna gave him more attention when they were little and Zane hasn’t noticed that Zianna barely looks at Vylad when Zane’s in the room)
Sees Laurance more of an older brother than both Zane and Garroth
He's on the soccer team in high school and brings Zianna's kimchi once before practice and introduces Laurance to spicy food
Is 20x more likely to respond to a text from Laurance than from Garroth or even Zianna and Garte
Bonds with Dante over their 'Zvahl adoptions' (see Laurance and Cadenza's headcanons for elaboration)
High-key hates Zane in high school bc Zane blackmails him with affair child info
They both know that if it got out that Vylad wasn't Garte's, Garte would blame it getting out on Vylad and it would not be pretty
Vylad genuinely believes Garte would kill him if it got out
Betrays Zane in junior year by saving Garroth from getting hurt by the SKs, does it on instinct, and runs away out of fear
Literally goes off the grid/vanishes
The police CANNOT find him, he's like 14 (remember he's two-three years younger than his grade) and is hiding from EVERYONE
This is why he’s absent in Graduation Days despite being in Aphmau’s class and graduating with her
Zianna's literally heartbroken, she's terrified for her baby
This is a factor that leads to Garroth's total breakdown and drop out from college
Comes back pretty feral
Aphmau's the reason he comes back to civilization (Not-Alone-Buddies FTW)
He comes back like two years into FCU
To those who read the Travis head canons:
IF PDH takes place in a world with modern technology (as in it technically takes place in like the 2000s/early 2010s and they do not have snap, but if it DID)
Vylad starts a snap streak with Travis and Aphmau in early freshman year
Aphmau's ends bc of Ein in sophomore year
BUT EVEN THOUGH VYLAD DISAPPEARS
His and Travis' streak is going strong
They have like a streak of 3000+ and are on a leaderboard online
Vylad ends up going to college, lives on-campus and has a Ro'Maeve credit card, assimilates back to society through college
Gets a journalism/environmental science degree
He immediately ditches civilization the moment he graduates
He has a blog and youtube he periodically updates with him doing the most absurd stuff
You know that River Monsters tv show? He's got a selfie with almost every single one of those river monsters
Has a selfie of him on top of the Eiffel Tower. Not on the platform, like he is literally hanging on the spire like he's a superhero or something.
Copies that picture on every single major skyscraper he can (Empire State Building, Chrysler Building) even the Kurj Khalifa
He takes a video while on top of Christ the Redeemer (the huge Jesus statue in Brazil)
Vylad is on the FBI's watchlist
He's on multiple countries's watchlist actually
Had a selfie of him alone in the North Korean equivalent of the oval office and is now on their most wanted (the photo technically doesn't exist anymore, but it's somewhere in the bowels of the internet and a physical copy exists in Vylad's travel scrapbook)
Has the biggest internet following of his entire family
Is technically more profitable than the rest of his family off his blog and YouTube and has a lot of money in his bank account which he never touches
He uses Laurance's address for his bank account
He considers access to the Ro'Maeve family bank account reparations for the emotional damage and childhood neglect, and exclusively uses it for first class plane tickets to whatever continent he wants
The only reason he moves in with Aphmau is because his name isn't on the lease and if the gov't wants to try and catch him at the airport let's see them do that when he stays in country
Has had the government track him down before but literally evades them, and they can't prove that he's evading them because technically they can't really be searching for him without a warrant which they do not have
I have a lot of thoughts about these three in particular...
