so when aphmau said “aaron would be better off without me” in the new episode i know we were supposed to feel bad for her but i was just like YEAH…… HE TOTALLY WOULD

irene in that scene is supposed to exist as some kind of thesis statement of aphmau’s character. “you deserve your friends even if they make mistakes because your friends make mistakes too and they choose to be with you” which on the surface isn’t like a bad message or anything but in context it’s in somewhat bad taste

a recurring theme in aphmau’s character is aphmau saying “i’m bad” and another character going “no you’re good, actually” without any self reflection and that’s super harmful. what irene’s missing in that scene is that the important part of mistakes is that you learn from them, not that you make them. everyone can make mistakes, but not everyone learns from them. to be a better person you need to learn from your mistakes

i already explained how aphmau treats aaron badly here, but i’ll highlight an important part of it in this post to talk about a part of this scene that’s particularly tone deaf. aaron and aphmau are not on equal footing in their relationship. when they meet, aphmau has other friends and a parent who loves her. aaron has no one, and is being subjected to abuse that has altered the way he views others and himself. aphmau is the first ever person to be nice to aaron. as he says in emerald secret ep15: “she saw me for more than i was, and more than i ever will be.”

that’s the core problem with aphmau’s mistreatment him — he doesn’t review what she’s done and decide to stay with her, he is fundamentally unaware of what healthy relationships are like and believes that what aphmau does to him is justified, because she loves him and thinks he’s worth more than he actually is. aaron isn’t self-aware when he decides to stay with aphmau. he has no way of knowing that he should ever leave her if she harms him, and therefore aphmau’s treatment of him is not justified just because he stays with her.

something small that has always bugged me is that in mss6, it’s revealed that irene had a daughter (it’s implied i think that she then killed her lol), even though in season 2, episode 100 of mcd hyria told aphmau that irene never had any children. so what do you think happened?? :)))))

[sapphic-for-blocks]

ok but the fact in mcd season 3 the whole big question of the season was “why is shad so mad at irene” was never answered in mcd (because they realized mcd had no direction), but it comes out in mss6 ep 10 that irene basically killed her own daughter into a relic for seemingly no reason, and this was briefly mentioned and never discussed again has never sat right with me.

OKAY MCD FANS IM BACK WITH MY HOT CORRECT TAKES

okay so the whole Aaron and aphmau doing the devil tango thing was SO BADLY WRITTEN like the night before they were both crying over different people who they loved even if it was love in different ways but Aaron said he never wanted to get over his wife and son because it reminds him of why he’s alive so why did he just do the devils tango with aphmau in the morning ??? it makes no sense like we’re you both just trying to fill their places or smth because it came out of no where like literally it was so out of place, super horribly written and I never want to see Aaron or aphmau again I want them both out of my sight I don’t care about their love I just want to see vylad comforting laurance while he’s going through it

aphmau would be the character to go “guys I can’t help it I’m an Aquarius”

[lycanresistance]

i think this might actually be the craziest thing she’s ever said. the fact this is being clarified like 3 years later. the fact that she’s pretending they didn’t intend it as if jason didn’t imply ein knew the whole time on twitter (which he’s seemingly since deleted). IT’S 2021

This is bullsh*t

Aphmau made a video titled “sibling rivalry” and guess who was on the thumbnail

That right! These two.

Meaning, that it was intended for them to be siblings, but Aphmau finally realized how terrible it was and removed it.

But she should’ve said that she realized how wrong it was, instead of straight up lying to her fans.

(Oops this rant was longer than I expected but this boggles my mind so much asdfghjk)

When Aphmau and Ein die, Michael calls out Zack for only caring about one of his children rather than both of them (“Gone | When Angels Fall [Ep.10]”). So at this point it’s literally canon that he’s her half-brother, not a red herring. It’s just a writing issue that no one ever bothered to fix because the writing was so confusing at that point.

And considering how quickly they make these recent videos every day on her channel, I feel like they probably do have the time to go and make the changes to her videos. It would just be really difficult because A) It’s been implied that way from the very beginning Ein became a character. B) They would have to rewrite SEVERAL seasons worth of plotpoints, animation, and character dialogue. C) If they DID ever go back to make edits for any controversial topics that happened throughout MyStreet, they might as well probably rewrite everything from the very beginning.
