Hi, I'm Estella! I'm the owner of this blog. Stella, Stelle, Star, Elle/Ella are all fine things to call me, too. I use She/Her pronouns, but don't really care what pronouns you use for me.
This blog is for anything and everything Aphverse related, but more specifically for the Ro'Meave's. To be even more specific; Zane. He's my one true blorbo lol. Feel free to ask me anything about my opinions on things, my headcanons, ship, etc.
I decided to post a little bit of the Zanemau fic I mentioned in my previous post. If you did not read my last post; This takes place in a Bridgerton-like era, but with the same magic and such from the original series.
This is NOT the full story/onehsot. The story below contains the first two days of their engagement.
Let me know how you feel about the color-coded text, because I'm not sure how I feel of it.
Tags: SFW, M/F, arranged marriage, fake dating, childhood friends to lovers, acquaintances to lovers, slow burn (as slow as it can be for a oneshot), Zanemau, Zianna x Garte (Ziarte?) angst, Ziarte one-sided relationship hints
I feel like Zianna and Garte would've had the Ro'Meave brothers learn instruments and try sports when they were in highschool to be more "worldly." We already know how sports went (only Garroth was sporty). How about the music?
Garroth somewhat learned to play the electric guitar just to show off to others in highschool. I say somewhat because he only did a few lessons before getting bored and stopping. He definitely still used what little he learned to try picking up girls, though.
As an adult, Garroth decided to start learning the average guitar, and actually sticks with it. He ends up buying his own guitar, too. He even plays in his free-time, outside of lessons. He's pretty focused with his guitar, so he's not planning on learning other instruments soon.
Zane learned to play the piano. He was very uninterested at first, as he didn't see the point in learning an instrument. However, as he continued his lessons, he found himself getting more interested in it and found a genuine passion for the piano.
As an adult, Zane no longer practices the piano, but still remembers how to play it. If given the chance to play a piano again, he goes all out. He wouldn't mind learning another instrument.
Vylad learned to play the average guitar in highschool, and completely stuck with it. He loved playing the guitar, and continues to in his adult life as he travels the world. He has no interest in any other instruments.
Now, the sports part of it. Zianna canonically has a little sports rule for her sons; you have to sign up for at least one sport. Zianna exempt Zane from the sports rule, so he didn't even have to sign up.
Canonically, Garroth plays baseball in highschool.
Zane does join an unofficial committee called The Jury, dedicated to disciplining other students. An actual sport, however, he does not play, since he's the exception.
Vylad does do fencing, but not for school, as they do not have a fencing club. He only does it because Zianna required the boys to sign up for at least one sport.
However, despite not actually signing up for a sport, in canon, Zane does try playing soccer with Vylad, Garroth, and Aphmau. He pretty much immediately gave that up, and never even attempted to sign up. What if he did end up enjoying it a little and signed up for the soccer club?
I can also see this being a fun way for the friend group to see Zane's full face for the first time.
Under IFAB Law 4, you cannot wear a standard cloth, surgical, or any face mask that covers only your nose and mouth during a soccer match for safety/breathing difficulty reasons.
So, Zane wouldn't be allowed to wear his face mask. He also, most likely, wouldn't be allowed to wear his hair in front of his face, even though his hair only covers the blind/unseeing eye. Under IFAB Law 4 again, he would be permitted to wear special goggles/eyewear to keep his remaining/functional eye safe from damage. So, his face, pale, half-blind, freckled, and all, would be completely exposed.
So, for a while now, I've been working on a Zanemau oneshot fic. It's pretty Bridgerton-like, set around that time. If I had to tag it:
M/F, arranged marriage, fake dating, childhood friends to lovers, aqqaintences to lovers, slow burn (as slow as it can be for a oneshot), etc etc.
As I said, I've been working on this for a while. Currently sitting at 42 paragraphs, 4,878 words, takes place over several days (9 to be exact).
Would you guys be interested in seeing it once it's finished (as in posting it here on Tumblr)?
Me with the entire MyStreet friend group
Ro'Meave genetics headcanons pt 4 (Jesus Christ). Hair specific!
I think Garte has 3A curls. He keeps them pretty short. His hair is long enough to definitely see that there are curls there, but short enough that each curl is maybe only an inch or two long. He'll use some product to keep up with his appearance, but he won't go overboard with it. Just enough.
Zianna has 2A-2B hair. It's thick and dense, but she definitely knows how to take care of it. She likes keeping her hair long, but not too long. I think the longest she'd have it is a little over halfway down her back. She can make her hair curlier with products, but she prefers her natural hair as it is.
Garroth has Garte's 3A curls, but longer, maybe a little past his ears. Garroth's canonically hella high maintenance when it comes to his appearance, so I have not an inch of doubt in my mind that he uses the perfect concoction of products on his hair to keep it perfect and stylized.
Zane has a bit of a mix of the two. His natural hair is mostly 2C waves, but with the occasional 3A curls. However, he's constantly straightening his hair. He rarely has his waves and curls out. The only times he doesn't bother with straightening his hair is when it's humid, or if he's just not in the mood to do his hair that day. He usually keeps his hair above his shoulders, past his chin, but lets it grow out more as he gets older.
Vylad has 1C-2A hair, having gotten most of his genetics from his own father. He takes care of his hair, but doesn't use any extra products. He just uses shampoo and conditioner, and that's just fine for him. Like Garroth, he keeps his hair a little past his ears, but no longer than that.
Thinking of Zana/Zane~Chan again. Pre-relationship, post-feeling realization for each other. Bring back cringy courting!!!
They have feelings for each other, but are totally oblivious about the fact that the other feels the same way.
Nana is so in her feels that she ends up making a playlist filled with songs that either remind her of Zane, or makes her think about Zane.
Unbeknownst to her, Zane's doing the same exact thing; making a playlist of songs that remind him of/makes him think of Nana.
They find out about the playlists after a little bit of song-sharing via text with each other. One of them gets curious and decides to look at the other's account to see what music they like/usually listen to. It's there that they see the playlist titled with their name.
So Nana's playlist would be titled "Zane" for all the songs that remind her of Zane, and Zane's would be titled "Kawaii-Chan" (since he doesn't know her real name until after they start dating) for all the songs that remind him of Nana.
I can also see that, eventually, they'll start sending each other songs that remind them of the other. Like Nana could be going about her day and suddenly get a text from Zane with a link to a song, and vice versa.
I think the friend group would catch on, not by being told of the whole song exchange thing, but by noticing reactions to songs.
Nana hears a song that reminds her of Zane? She pauses for a second, smiles, looks the song up, adds it to the playlist, and sends it to Zane with an even bigger smile. Her mood noticably brightens for the rest of the day (if that's even possible for someone as bubbly as her).
Zane hears a song that reminds him of Nana? He continues to do whatever he was doing, but he's noticably paying attention to the song. He looks up the song, looks through the lyrics a few times, small smile, adds to playlist, sends to Nana. His mood brightens, too, but not as noticeably.
Zaronmau/Zaaronmau x Challengers
That's it. That's the post.
Ro'Meave forever potion pt 2
I can also see my little scenario happening during Minecraft Diaries, the alternate universe of Mystreet. Since Minecraft Diaries takes place during a fantasy medieval time, I had to take that into account. Btw, I have never seen Minecraft Diaries, so everything is just from my mind.
Instead of the blinding incident being during a snowball fight, it happened during a practice duel. Garroth and Zane were practicing with magic, and Garroth got too over confident. He fired at Zane despite not being instructed to. Since Zane wasn't prepared for an attack, he couldn't shield himself in anyway, and was struck in the eye by the magic Garroth had cast at him.
No matter what healer the family went to, none could fully extract the magic that remained in Zane's system, nor could they restore his eyesight. So, Garte went to a dark wizard/witch, someone who knew the dangers and potential healing abilities of dark magic as a last resort. Using a potion bought form them, Garte treated Zane with the elixir by pretending it was prescribed by one of the good healers they had seen.
Like in Mystreet, it didn't restore Zane's sight completely, but it did prevent and horrid long-lasting damage. However, it also had a side effect. The magic that was left in his system from the attack was made stronger, accelerated by the potion.
I have an idea about the Ro'Meave's and the forever potion experiments.
I don't remember much about the forever potions, as it's been YEARS since I last did a full watch of Mystreet. However, what I do remember is that Garte is one of 3 fathers on Mystreet who used the forever potion on his children. He explicitly used it on Garroth, which explains his unnatural strength despite being an average human (ie constantly breaking down doors, [unintentionally] causing Zane's blindness, having hard punches, etc). While the potion is usually used for mind control and the like, I'm assuming he used it on Garroth in small doses.
What if Garte did the same for Zane? After the events of the snowball incident (the aforementioned one where Zane lost his sight in his right eye), Garte was desperate to ensure this wouldn't affect Zane do the point of brain damage. So, whenever he could, he would somehow sneak Zane some of the forever potion.
It didn't completely heal Zane. He's still blind, but it's nowhere near as bad as it would've been had he not given him the potion. However, the potion boosted his "stats" the same way it boosted Garroth's. That explains Zane's unexpected strength and speed despite only having recently started working out (and possibly not even sticking with it).
I can also see it making Zane smarter than he would've been naturally. If it can control people's minds, grant wishes, and increase someone's physical stats, it can increase someone's mental stats as well.
Garroth as a barista: What's your name, sir?
Customer: Jorje!
Garroth, a white man, spelling it: H-O-R-H-A-Y
Ro'Meave "genetics" headcanons pt. 3(?) it's mostly personality based this time. Also, didn't include Vylad in this one.. soz.
I love how Zane and Garroth got different aspects of their parents.
The most obvious of this is their appearance, which we've already covered. Garroth is a carbon copy of Garte (blond, tan, blue eyes), Zane is a carbon copy of Zianna (pale, black hair, nice figure).
The second one is their personalities.
Garroth has Zianna's personality. Easily happy, very emotional, loves out loud.
Zane moreso has Garte's personality + his own emo flair. Quiet, keeps to himself, loves in private.
The third is their style. Specifically, they inherit the willingness or lack thereof to change their styel.
Garroth wears blue/white plaid jackets and jeans. He'll change his style if he has to, but he'll stick with that most of the time.
Zane wears anything and everything on the grayscale (black, white, and gray). Occasionally, he'll dabble some blue in his outfit. He's slightly more experimental with his clothes. He keeps his outfits emo, but he'll more willing to change what kind of hoodies, pants, and accessories he wears. Like, he'll wear black skin-tight jeans one day, and baggy/bell-bottoms the next. He'll wear silver chains one day, gold bands the next.
Zianna is a fashionista. She's constantly aware of what's hot, what's new, what's trendy, and incorporating them into her outfits while still making sure she's her.
Garte is almost always in business casual. You can pry his slacks and button-ups from his cold, dead hands once he's in the grave, but no sooner than that.
I can see like a family shopping trip.
Garte and Garroth are looking at simple things. Garte's just looking at ties and the like. Garroth's looking at little trinkets to keep in his room and forget about.
Zane and Zianna are looking at actual clothes. They're both in their respective pants aisle looking for their size, feeling the quality of them, looking at designs, and getting 2 or 3 pairs each. Then, they do the same with shirts, occasionally showing something the other would like. Then, they go to the shoes.
The Z-Team walks out of the mall with about 3 new outfits.
The G-Team walks out of the mall with one bag each.
Now, cooking habits. Zane and Zianna are great cooks. Garte and Garroth aren't.
Garte and Garroth just follow the recipe and calls it a day. As long as their meal is fully cooked, they think it's fine. If Garroth does experiment, he doesn't put much thought into it, and his dish ends up a little.. horrid.
Zane and Zianna experiment a little more with the food. They're willing to stray from the recipe a bit to give their meals a little umph. These two are definitely in the kitchen during thanksgiving.
Aph: Do you wanna hang out today? 12:38
Zane: 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕12:39
Zane: Sorry, I'm not used to being thought of. The answer is yes. 12:42
Aph: I liked both answers :)))) 12:42
I think the reason why I love Zana/Zane-Chan is because of just how opposite they are in every sense of the word.
Zane's a boy, Nana's a girl.
Zane wears Black. Nana wears Pink. Even their hairs math their clothing colors.
Zane isn't doesn't like talking to people. Nana is so chatty that some people find her annoying.
Zane is a human. Nana's a Mei'Fwa/Cat-Girl.
Zane's desperation for companionship made him slightly possessive. Nana's desperation for companionship made her project her feelings onto other people despite them expressing discomfort about it.
Zane's relationship with Nana made him softer and less guarded. Nana's relationship with Zane made her less desperate and made her love herself.
The only thing they had in common was the fact that neither believe they were capable/worthy of being loved.
Nana has eleven siblings. They all look alike, so she felt like she never stood out and was constantly overlooked. She started to act different at school, more "cute," and gave herself the name Kawaii-Chan to make people notice her.
Zane became partially blind as a toddler at the hands of his older brother. Said older brother spent years making fun of Zane's disability, the disability HE caused. Zane felt insecure about his face as even his classmates called him names. Because of this, he became guarded and mean to keep everyone away. He gets shocked at kindness because he hadn't experienced that from anyone that wasn't family.
They both see each other, the REAL them, as perfection.
Zane thinks Kawaii-Chan, the clingy and loud girl, is cute. Zane also thinks that Nana Ashida, the shy and quieter girl, is beautiful and everything he's ever dreamed of.
Nana thinks Zane, the constantly masked emo boy, is cool and mysterious. Nana also thinks that Zane, the half-blind freckled boy, is gorgeous and feels lucky to be loved by him.
Every character I love is always the most shippable person in the series/movie. It's no different with Zane.
Zanvis (Zane x Travis) is Golden Retriever x Black Cat. Travis is loud, emotional, affectionate, and impulsive. Zane is dry, reserved, and sarcastic. The contrast practically writes itself.
Zana / ZaneChan (Zane x KawaiiChan) is Also Golden Retriever x Black Cat, but softer. KC brings out Zane's gentler side in a way Travis doesn't.
Zaron (Zane x Aaron) is Secretly Sweet x Secretly Sweet. Two people who act stoic but care way more than they admit. A relationship built on quiet understanding.
Zaronmau (Zane x Aaron x Aphmau) The trio dynamic is ridiculously strong because Aphmau bridges the gap between the boys. Aaron and Zane both have completely different relationships with her, and she knows how to pull both of them out of their shells.
Zaurence (Zane x Laurence) → Smart x Smart, but in different ways. Laurence is socially intelligent and charismatic; Zane is analytical and observant. Lots of banter potential.
Zeony (Zane x Teony) another Smart x Smart pairing, but with more academic energy. They'd absolutely be the couple correcting each other's work while secretly enjoying it.
Zene (Zane x Gene) is Enemies to Lovers. The tension is already built in. Half the appeal is watching them argue.
Zanlyn/Kane (Zane x Katelyn) is Competitive Lovers. Neither wants to lose. Everything becomes a challenge.
Zim (Zane x Kim) is pure cute factor. Kim's friendliness balances Zane's awkwardness surprisingly well.
I think the reason why I'm obsessed with the Ro'Meave family is because most of them are blue-coded people. Vylad is the only green person in the family and, even then, I love green, too. I just love blue and green loving/wearing people.
Love languages for the Ro'Meave brothers! Some of them fit in more than one category to me.
Romantic
Words of Affirmation - Garroth,
Gift Giving -
Quality Time - Zane, Vylad
Acts of Service - Zane,
Physical Touch - Zane, Garroth, Vylad
Platonic
Words of Affirmation - Garroth, Vylad
Gift Giving -
Quality Time - Zane, Vylad
Acts of Service - Zane, Garroth,
Physical Touch -
GARROTH
For Garroth, platonically, I'd say Words of Affirmation and Acts of Service. At first, I had WoA and Gift Giving, but I feel like Acts of Service fits better. I don't doubt that he'd give gifts, but I feel like Acts of Service is more him. He'll always help, even if you didn't ask, just because he feels like it's the better thing to do in that situation. He wouldn't hesitate
Romantically, for Garroth, I was torn between Quality Time or Physical Touch. Honestly, I was ready to give him both. Both feel like him, but I think Physical Touch is more him.
In my mind, if his partner wants to do something/watch something with him that he isn't really interested in, he'll join them, but he'll be noticeably quieter/uninterested.
Physical Touch feels very Garroth. He'd definitely be all for PDA. SO sitting on his lap, snuggling in public, uncontrollable face kisses, etc, all feel like things Garroth would do with his spouse.
ZANE
For Zane, platonically, I think it's Acts of Service and Quality Time, depending on how close you are to him, but subtly.
He wouldn't be "loud" about the things he does for you as a friend, but would appreciate it if you were to (privately) acknowledge his work.
If you're a close friend, it'd be Acts of Service + Quality Time. Movie nights, shopping together, playing make believe (something he adorably does canonically), etc.
For Zane, romantically, I think it'd be AoS, QT, and Physical Touch. He's not really a touchy person with any of his friends. The only friend he's seen regularly touching/being touched by is Aphmau, his closest friend.
However, in a relationship, I feel like physical touch is a language of his. He wouldn't be all for PDA, but in private? Snuggle Bug, Kiss Konnoisseur, etc.
VYLAD
For Vylad, I think for both platonic and romantic, his love languages are Quality Time and Words of Affirmation.
However, for romantic, he also has Physical Touch. When it comes to physical Touch, he's a bit of a combo of his brothers. Like Garroth, he's not afraid of PDA, but he's not going all out either. Soft kisses, hand holding, and general closeness is fine, but lap sitting and the like are a no. Like Zane, he's all for the touching and intimacy in private, though.
