22 y/o | she/her Iāve been on tumblr for 3 years now, Iām still unfamiliar with a few features that I donāt always need to use. I post about everything I mentioned in my pinned post whenever I feel like it.
Hereās some things to know about me & my interests!
- Iām a 22-year-old cishet woman with autism, Iāve been had a lot of hyperfixations and I never stop loving them even when I fall out of my hyperfixations again and again, I eventually have a relapse in them sometimes.
I joined tumblr bc Iāve heard that it is a very accepting place for fandoms and Iāve been on my Instagram fanpage/s for years where I have dealt with a bunch of unwelcome hate in addition to my real life middle school experience that still affects me to this day in the sense that it has made me more cautious and reserved when it comes to talking about my interests with other people because I'm scared of judgement, and Iām looking to finally have a safe social space where I wonāt get any of that and I can be my true self and fangirl as hard as I want. Iāve also watched Strange Aeonsā YT videos about tumblr, and Iām very interested in everything that happened in the world and on the internet when I was little and not allowed to have a phone (Iām a 2004 baby).

I used to watch Amy Lee33 when I was 10 or 11, and now her videos are just nostalgic for me. I also still enjoy the MCYTer Aphmauās roleplay videos and imo itās superior to her current content.
- My favorite shows (including my childhood shows) are TMNT 2012, Lego Ninjago, MLP FiM, VeggieTales, Manifest, Lucifer, Once Upon A Time, The 100, Merlin, The Summer I Turned Pretty, Boy Meets World, The Amazing World of Gumball, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, Anne With An E, I havenāt seen every Friends episode but Iāve seen enough that I ship Joey & Rachel, Martha Speaks, Dinosaur Train, Word Girl, Wild Kratts, Wonder Pets, Super Why, Jem and the Holograms, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Odd Squad, Horseland, Olivia, Bridgerton, The Handmaid's Tale, and The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends.
- My favorite music artists are Marcus & Martinus, Taylor Swift, One Direction, Loving Caliber, Marina, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, and more. To be clear, only a select few of the artists I listen to are ones that Iām a super fan of and know almost everything about them, everyone else I either know a couple things about them or almost nothing and I just like them for their music. Casual fans rise up!!
- My favorite movies are Peter Pan (the 2003 live action movie) + many other Peter Pan movies, Mirror Mirror, Rise of the Guardians, Mune: Guardian of the Moon, the 1968 Romeo and Juliet movie, Thumbelina (1994), every old Barbie movie, Turning Red, Gulliver's Travels (1939), and the Tinkerbell movies.

- My favorite ships are Jelsa (Jack Frost from ROTG and Elsa from Frozen) a very nostalgic ship for me that I got obsessed with when I was 10-12 and Iāve never stopped shipping it even though Iām not as obsessed as I used to be, the love square from Miraculous Ladybug, Laurmau from Aphmauās Minecraft role play series, especially MCD, I used to ship Garmau in addition to shipping Laurmau but I think Garrothās silliness in Mystreet kinda turned me off from the idea of him and Aphmau together so I just shipped Laurmau. I only ship Aarmau in the Mystreet series bc thatās the only series where it feels right for them to be canon (except for their age gap when they first metš¬). Jess wrote Aarmau as the canon ship in almost every series she has created (besides the series that donāt have the characters Aphmau and Aaron in them) and I got really tired of it and wanted something new so I became a BIG Laurmau shipper. Zane~Chan from Aphmauās Mystreet series, Iāve shipped Peter Pan with Wendy in the original Disney movie and almost every adaptation of Peter Pan, Shirbert (Gilbert Blythe and Anne Shirley from Anne With An E), Benedict x Sophie from Bridgerton.

I promise this post is not a joke. It's just long.
It's been ten years since season 2 episode 81 dropped. I personally wasn't around when the episode premiered, but I had some opinions about it when I did watch it, and in honor of its anniversary I decided to watch it again. Specifically I wanted to watch it with fresh eyes, as if I had never had an opinion on this episode to see how it would change.
And we all know how I am, I had to analyze it and pontificate on the state of the fandom. As I do. Unlike my last post in this style, I'm going to be analyzing the episode scene by scene to paint a picutre of how this episode reads to me now, years after I first experienced it.
Right off the bat this episode was buttering me up by having Katelyn content, and it involves her grief over Jeffory. It's moments like these that I love, and the very genuine friendship that Katelyn and Aphmau has is incredibly sweet. Getting to see Katelyn be weak and express her vulnerability when it comes to her grief and anger is always very interesting, and the conversation they have is quite bleak, yet meaningful.
And then Travis crashes in and flirts with Katelyn in the worst way imaginable, drops his dumb guy act to be heart wrenchingly sincere, only to correct himself to being the loyal guard he always has been, only to get punched for saying something stupid. I love him. I'm not even being objective I just love him. This is like a perfect MCD Travis scene, if I were to point to a scene that's the distillation of why I love this stupid white haired twink it would be this one.
So far the character writing in this episode has been on point and actually kind of funny. Maybe that's just my bias for Katelyn and Travis but I really love this first scene. It even has Jury of Nine lore that's kind of consistent, what isn't there to love?
And then in the middle of this very lovely conversation that's been going on forā¦ half the episode?? That doesn't matter, just as Aphmau remembers that she should care about the plot of Minecraft Diaries, there's a faint drone in the background that turns into a large explosion. Of course every character reacts to it, but it is Aphmau who decides to run in to investigate while Travis looks after an injured Katelyn.
A soft piano plays over Aphmau and Levin as they approach the explosion site, and a cello begins to play a very particular motif as Garroth is shown to the viewer in the crater that remains. Said motif is called Distant Lands, a piece from the Final Fantasy 11 soundtrack, and was also prominently featured during the scene where Aaron proposes to Aphmau in MyStreet. This song is meant to represent the love that Aaron and Aphmau have across timelines, yet this version of it is somber and mournful as Garroth holds Aaron's bandana.
Aphmau is elated, all the worry leaving her for just a moment because she can hug Garroth again, because she's spent too long missing him. There are tears in her voice from the moment she sees him, I cannot emphasize how happy Aphmau is to see Garroth again. She really loves him. Her delight is halted when she sees the bandana in Garroth's hand.
Boom, flashback! Did that scare ya? Probably not, but this is just my excuse to talk about how oddly paced this episode is. It's twelve minutes long, but six of those minutes are spent on that scene with Katelyn, Travis, and Aphmau all talking about their feelings and lore. That's already putting a bit of a damper on the ability for the following moments to really be given a lot of time, but maybe that will be to this episodes advantage. I've seen Jesson execute their best scene in a minute and a half, so maybe this episode won't have many problems.
In the flashback we see Aaron awake in the house he and Aphmau cohabitate in, Aphmau and Lilith fast asleep on their bed. Aaron stares at Aphmau for a moment, considering her sleeping form, before kissing her and moving to leave. This is the first time that Aaron has voluntarily shown Aphmau explicitly romantic affection when the narrative was watching. Theoretically you could interpret a lot of their scenes as platonic, and the only other one fades to black before it gets explicit. This is the narrative affirming that Aaron does love Aphmau in case there was any doubt in your mind.
As he tries to go Lilith awakes and calls for her father. Aaron assures her that Aphmau will care for her, and leaves with the relic fragment in hand. I find it interesting that as Aaron is leaving the island and traveling to the portal, he pulls on his hood and bandana, the disguse he used for so many years to hide how much pain he was in. The disguise he wore after he lost his first life now being used to hide him as he actively leaves the new life he has.
He leaves the forest of the island in silence, but when the scene fades back in on him approaching the portal, a familair song plays. A segment of the song Dancing Mad from Final Fantasy 6. The very song that played the last time someone went to the Irene Dimension, immediately priming the viewer for what may happen. It also primes the viewer to think back on every attempt to get through this portal earlier in the season.
That Zoey had to sacrifice the equivalent of a life, that she and Emmalyn were relieved Aphmau didn't die when she tried to open it. Opening this rift between realms takes the amount of power contained in a single human life, and as the song blares and we see Aaron staring at the divine fragment, before pulling out the uhhhā¦ (frantic googling noises) Realm Breaker! And even if you don't remember the lore as well as you thought you did, it's not hard to put together what's happening.
The ear shattering toll of the bell fills the space and we waste precious seconds of the episode just marveling at how good the build of Irene's Temple is. The shots change smoothly to show the battle between Zane and Garroth. All of these things are the hallmark of Diaries at it's best, and I mean it. The opening of the episode is so innocuous, so much what we're used to in the average episode, the tonal and quality change is so drastic yet built on tonal changes of seasons past to work really well. The improved editing and use of soundtrack are immediate signifiers to the viewers that things are getting serious, and are used to great effect here.
No wonder people thought this was an April Fool's joke. But the only fool here is Zane, who in the moment of his seeming victory, is thwarted by Aaron saving Garroth's life and breaking apart the realm barrier with a goofy ass editing effect. Funniest part of the episode. Probably.
Now. I want to dig deep into the dialogue that takes place between Zane and Aaron here, because I find Aaron's mentality in this moment to be absolutely fascinating, and completely understated. Zane asks if Aaron is here to get revenge, and he answers no. What he is doing now is not for him, it is so that way the woman he loves and his daughter may be allowed to live with the man who can really care for them.
When Zane says that Aaron's plan will kill them both, Aaron's response is so telling of how he views his own life.
"Good."
Aaron is not a person who puts value on his individual life. Maybe he was at some point, but tragedy struck and we only know the man it created. It created a man who does not act as though he were even a person, more a force of the universe. He's disengaged from his own life and any value it can have outside of ensuring nobody else has to suffer like he did at the hands of Zane Ro'Meave. And in this moment he would seemingly be playing into that, right?
But in season 2, Aphmau makes Aaron consider his own humanity again. She dares to ask him to open his heart to the world, to the things you can only experience if you let others care for you. By the time we reach this point, Aaron has found his humanity again. He has found reasons, multiple reasons, to keep fighting for another day. He has friends (?), and people he cares about, a family, and a growing community. He has a life again.
Yet through all of this, Aaron does not quite see himself as human still. Sure, he may be appreciating his life for its own value, but he also knows what his real greatest value is. Aaron, both in the narrative and out of it, is a replacement for Garroth. He knows that part of why he's even close to Aphmau is because she's trying to fill the Garroth shaped void in her life, and he happens to tick enough boxes. I believe Aaron is aware of the fact that no matter how great of a man he could be, Garroth would be better for Aphmau.
Aaron, seeing himself more as a force than a person, believes that rather than it being his destiny to kill Zane, it is now his purpose to save Garroth.
Zane took away Aaron's wife and child, and Aaron removed himself from the narrative in response and decided to become a force instead of a person. Garroth allows Aaron the choice to leave his wife and child so that he can remove himself from the narrative as a force of positive change instead of negative change, still not viewing himself fully as a person, but valuing what part he can now play greater than his original purpose.
As an ending to Aaron's character arc, this scene is incredible. Genuinely. It perfectly mirrors itself to come to a beautiful conclusion.
There's justā¦ a few problems. Let's get through the rest of the episode before we talk about those.
Okay so once Aaron blows up and acts like he don't know nobody, we flash back to the present where Garroth presumably told Aphmau a fraction of the story the audience got in the same amount of time it took for us to learn everything else. Upon fully realizing what this crater means, what Garroth's return means, Aphmau proves to Aaron that he was wrong.
When Aphmau learns that Aaron is dead, she lets out a cry of grief that still gets to me ten years later. It's shorter than I remember, but it is still poignant and hits me right in the heart. Aaron may have only thought he was a replacement for Garroth, and maybe he was. But Aphmau loved Garroth. Is it a surprise thst she would fall for her replacement? And even if she doesn't see him that way, even if Aphmau doesn't realize she's let Aaron take the part in her life Garroth used to have, she loves Aaron.
A lot of people to this day still don't get why Aphmau cared so much about him, why she was seemingly more grief stricken over him rather than anyone else in her life who died. For one, death didn't have a real tangible meaning in this series until Episode 91 of the first season, and not a lot of people close to Aphmau died after that. There's a lot of near death, but never death she has to contend with. And for two, Aphmau loved him because she loves everyone. She cares about everyone, to her own detriment, all the time.
Aphmau pours her heart and soul into her relationships, she builds soul bonds with people she's just met, and she knows Aaron better than any person alive. In the moment of contending with his death Aphmau has to feel the pain of losing her friend, her lover, her mentor, and the crushing weight of being the only person to properly carry his memory all at once. What else could she do in the face of it all but scream for the life she loved so dearly?
All and all, this episode is really great actually. I was worried about the pacing at first, but I don't think it's actually a problem. Aaron's whole sacrifice only takes half the episode, and it is weirdly shoved into the middle of the season, but I kind of like that. It's very unexpected, inexplicable, and a nice shake up for season 2. Irene knows the season needed it. There's justā¦ those few problems I mentioned earlier.
Let's adress the biggest thing that contributed to initial reactions of this episode: they released it on April Fools Day 2016. It is super common for Youtubers to do elaborate April Fool's videos with zero disclosure that the video is a joke until days later. This episode could have been an elaborate prank and none of us knew it. What an absolutely bizarre decision to make for an episode where you plan to kill one of the major characters this season. Like. I know they had a content schedule that they were adhering to, but would it have killed them to upload this on April 2nd? Then at least fans huffing the April Fool's copium would have less of a supply.
If this episode were an elaborate prank and the story didn't do this I think it would've been the funniest thing Jess and Jason ever did. I mean imagine making an entire full fledged episode of your web series with the quality expected from a series finale in the middle of your season just to prank your viewers into thinking you killed one of the main characters. That would've been fucking hilarious, and quite a few people thought that's what they were doing. But days passed and it became clear that this was no joke, this was just when the episode aired. The rest of the season continued on with Aaron's death being pivotol to it's plot and characters. This was no joke, even if you might ave tried to convince yourself it was.
But to be honest, the biggest problem with this episode is that you wanted something else. I mean you as in the person reading this now, but also you ten years ago, or however long it was when you saw this scene. The biggest problem with this episode is that you wanted something else from it. You didn't want Aarmau, you shipped Garmau or Laurmau (or Zoeymau if you're enlightened), and then that didn't happen. Laurance wasn't even in this episode.
You wanted Garroth to come back, but you didn't want Aarmau to be confirmed. You wanted someone to sacrifice themselves as the season had been foreshadowing, but you wanted the foreshadowing to be more specific than it was. You wanted something else. But you didn't get that something else, did you?
No. You got this. You got canon Aarmau, you got Aaron dying in every universe jokes, you got Garroth back in the narrative but no plan for his place in it. I'm not saying that I personally like all or any of these things, or that I even liked them when I first experienced them. Because I didn't.
But I can say that now, as an adult with a far more trained brain for critical analysis, a lot of people's complaints with this storyline don't have anything to do with how satisfying it is for Aaron, or any other characters, or the narrative, or even if the scene itself works. The complaint isn't always about what happened, so much of it is about what didn't happen. What could have happened. Very little appreciation is given to what is there now.
Perhaps I can have a kinder view of this episode only because of the years. Only because I have spent so long grappling with its place in the canon of MCD, and how that canon has impacted my life. And I have both accepted it as gospel as well as tarnished it's very existence. It is this variety of interpretations and understanding that lets me love this story as much as I do.
Aaron is a character who's story I have told from so many perspectives, most not his own. He is deeply fascinating to me for a lot of the ideas he has, even if I'm willing to admit their execution can leave a lot to be desired. But even if the build up was rough, this is a good payoff to his character. If you give Aaron a real chance, set aside your one sided grudge with him, and really look at him as a character, he's very interesting.
I'm sorry that you wanted something different. I'm sorry the story didn't turn out the way it was promised to you. Most stories are like that.
But it's been ten years. If you're still mad that Aaron "got in the way" of your otp being endgame, move on. If you're mad at Aaron for the fact that the writing of season 2 got worse, that's ridiculous. He is a character, not the writer of the show, even if he is a poorly disguised self insert of one of the authors. Don't equate beef with the writers to beef with the characters.
And if you hate this episode because you watched it recently and saw it as the worst episode of the series for completely unrelated reasons to shipping nonsense and think I'm a hack fraud, feel free to let me know in the reblogs, it's always fun to debate.
Happy April Fool's day, try not to explode on your way out.

Day 659 + 1036 of posting Aphmau memes till MyStreet season 7 comes out | Seen some people s7 prediction bingo cards so here's my SUPER SERIOUS card... /j
Bingo template can be found on twt, i should have quoted it on that sites version of this post
In other news: Mermaid Tales season finale teaser posted on the Diaries Channel
Elbow Grease such an unfortunate name to have and not to mention that itās very not on theme. I wonder if the devs of this game started to get lazy about the names when they got to this characterš
I just had a crazy dream that the first episode of MS7 immediately addresses the gross Aarmau age gap and some parts of it were confirming that Aaron is a predator and Aphmau was his victim but there was also one part that was kinda sympathizing for Aaron like āoh poor himā but Iām not too sure bc it didnāt go that deep into that, but for the rest of the episode it was basically fully un-romanticizing their relationship which was such a sharp contrast to the other seasons that are focused on framing Aarmau as such a good healthy endgame relationship that we should all root for.
Weirdly enough though, this dream didnāt really show Aphmauās perspective at all, like, it didnāt show her realizing that she had been taken advantage of. It felt more like a breaking news story reporting that Aaron is a predator with evidence lol
Yeah! So in PDH while Aaron is still at that school he doesnāt seem to view freshmen as the significantly younger kids than him that they are because apparently he had a crush on Aphmau before he found out she was Shu and without her knowledge or consent he marks her with his scent so other werewolves wonāt ask her out. And when he finds out that Shu and Aphmau are the same person he isnāt turned off by the fact that sheās that much younger than him because he already had a crush on her anywayš
On my rewatch of PDH S1 I found an episode where Aaron and Aphmau say several lines that, I think, unintentionally highlights their age gap (ep 27) and I say unintentionally because I know that Jessās intention was to romanticize their relationship and their dynamic is that Aphmau is the one who is more silly with immature humor and other tendencies while Aaron is more mature and reigns her in or pokes fun at her immaturity and now that Iām writing it out it looks bad in the context of their age gap but like, since Jessās intention was to normalize and romanticize their age gapā¦ like, generally that relationship dynamic ācharacter A is silly w/ immature humor x character B is the comedic āstraight manā ā isnāt inherently bad so I think Jess just meant for her audience to focus more on their personality dynamics together rather than reading more critically into it with their age difference. But when you do watch it with your critical-thinking cap on the narrative framing no longer works.
After Aaron graduates and goes to college there are two times where he goes back to the high school and the first time he goes back itās because he wants to see Aphmau and he sees her hugging Ein and misinterprets that as him being her boyfriend and he starts crying. The whole concept of a college student going back to his high school (and in this case I donāt think he even got permission to be there as a visitor like normal irl high schools require you to do, I think he just snuck in since he did have his hood up) to see his now sophomore girlfriend who has been way too busy with high school classes to go see him herself and he cries when he sees her hugging another boy (who is much closer in age to her) is very creepy and weird.
Also just Episode 29 of PDH S1. Itās not something that Aaron canonically does bc itās all in Aphmauās dream but itās just Jessās writing of their relationship thatās like āAphmau needs to be more mature for Aaron by being honest with him about her feelingsā the whole thing pmo so bad.
Oh, and they were online friends as FC & Shu since Aphmau was in middle school but we donāt know if they had told each other their ages since that info has never been given to us in the show but that does seem like the baseline amount of info that online friends would give each other if theyāre both using aliases to protect their real names.
I dont blame Salvana for hating him, if u 18-22 and your gf is still in high school u shouldn't be together. If they got together when she was 17 anc him 18 that be fine. But he is 21 with a 17yr of.
And did he beef with Ein in PDH over aph. Like lil bro, let Ein have her. He may be shitty, but at lease he isnt a pedo. Like Garrith, Laur, Dante, Gene, Ein, even Kai (ik he did rlly like her, wasn't he just messing with her?) But those guys would have been 10x better.
Jess could have also had it to where they dated at 20 & 24. That would have been better.
Sylvanna never hated Aaron because he was too old for Aphmau, she hated boys in general getting too close to Aphmau (except for werewolves bc she fetishizes them) she just hated him more than all the other guys because he pursued Aphmau a lot, I think. If she did hate him because he was too old then Jess would have to write that and acknowledge that their age gap was inappropriate and it would clash with her narrative that this is a normal, healthy relationship.
I sort of disagree that Ein would be better for Aphmau because she was never into him and he wanted to force her to be with him so much so that when he grows up he uses forever potions on her to make her love him. He straight up dgaf about anything that she wants he just wants her for himself. I would prefer Aphmau to be with any other guy in the show that is in her age group.
No, Kai never had feelings for Aphmau at any point in the entire series, he was never messing with her. He did have a crush on Katelyn and only after Katelyn rejects him and tells him that Aphmau likes him he asks Aphmau on a date.
Yes, Jess had every opportunity to make Aaron and Aphmau have a normal age gap, be the same age, or have them be friends for a long time and then fall in love when theyāre both adults because according to the TikTok she posted in 2024 where she addresses multiple rumors, one of them being that Jason groomed her, (they also have a 4 year age gap) she said that after she told Jason her real age āshe lied to him until she turned 18ā she then learned that an age gap like that is inappropriate and this was all before she even joined YouTube so when she wrote PDH S1 & S2 she was aware that Aarmauās age gap was inappropriate but she still normalized it for her underage audience to see.
