sometimes I ramble

[toasty130]

That tree in Dragon Falls...the very tall one...it reminds me of the tree in Phoenix Drop...very suspicious...

[toasty130]

I'm finally gonna do it! I'm gonna watch My Inner Demons all the way through. This is probably my fourth-ish attempt, and I've really began wonder who Ava is gonna end up with?

I'm curious about this, since Ava isn't Aphmau and none of the guys are Aaron, so it's genuinely making me curious. My bets are on Ava and Asch. Ava is the main character, Asch is one of the main people driving the plot, it makes sense.

Yet again, Ava isn't Aphmau...so really...she could end up with anyone? There's still a surprise with Ava. Her romantic partner isn't predetermined. Ava might not even have a romantic partner (I don't really see that happening though).

What are your thoughts on this? Honestly, what is everyone's thoughts on my inner demons in general? Where do you think Season Two is going?

I watched the 15th episode of mermaid tales! I'm so happy that Laurance is apart of the crew! Oh and Lumi is back! Which is gonna be fun...

Oh and this is Laurance's map...

Discussion of Mermaid Tales Ep: 13

I love how almost everyone on Laurance's Crew is wearing or just have some form a green. Laurance has a brand and he's maintaining it. Good for him.

Oh, and this episode is 36:18. It makes sense why this episode took so long to make. I wish there was more communication, but It makes sense why it took so long. I'm being fed now.

(My opinions after watching the whole episode)

I liked this episode. Aphmau did try to do some stuff, I don't exactly like that she was still mostly just crying this episode instead of trying to do more, but it's okay.

I want to know what's going on with the Wolf girl more, and I think that'll happen after this episode. Oh, and I like Zane's new form, but curious where his look comes from. Since I'm pretty sure The Soul Echo swaps people. I'm really curious which Zane he is. I'm also curious if he's not blind in one eye.

Laurance! He was so close to meeting Aphmau semi-properly, and I would of enjoyed that. I think when they actually met though, Aphmau should of fought him a little more. Aphmau doesn't know him (yet), and he's trying to hold her back. She should of kicked and screamed to get away from him.

I believe when the wolf girl showed up, she disintegrated people. She might of disintegrated Captain Stone or whatever his name is, but that guy also destroyed a whole wall by himself. So who knows. Oh, and she was teleporting...which reminds me The Alter/Void. She's probably connected. I don't think she's the void exactly though, from Void Paradox, it's stated that Void doesn't speak and doesn't want (At Least personally). Wolf girl speaks and wants to have Aaron (For some reason, maybe to kill, maybe to not). She's most likely connected the void though. That teleportation is suspicious.

The music guys! Dancing Mad is my trigger. It wasn't an awful music choice, but I definitely felt like it was a bait for the audience. Whenever you hear Dancing Mad (At least as Mcd/Mystreet fan) you know death or at least something bad is happening. I don't mind that it was kind of used as a bait though. Which I noticed though, at the very end...there was a clock sound. Now, that could be brushed off, but! It sounds exactly like the bells you hear when you enter The Irene's Dimension. That's suspicious.

Oh, and I'm excited for Laurance to be joining the crew. That's at least what I took the ending for. I've been waiting for Laurance to the join since he was introduced in Mermaid Tales... hopefully that actually happens...

Everyone talks about how Laurance, Garroth, even Dante were butchered to make Aaron look like the better love interest, but no one talks about how Lily (Aaron's wife in mcd) was butchered to make Aphmau look like the better love interest for Aaron...

[toasty130]

Response to @terriblechickenhousebuilder. With how useless Lily is to the plot of Mystreet. It makes you wonder why she was even included. I feel like the only good thing that came from her existence was the fact that Lily and Ivy are cousins.

[toasty130]

I tried to draw Aphmau?

[toasty130]

I'm not sure where to find this on here, so I'm asking the question.

What other terms like "Oh my Irene" or "For the love of Irene" do y'all put in your rewrites? I'm trying to figure out other terms to put in my own rewrite, and I'm curious.

[toasty130]

I'm making theories

(spoilers for Mermaid Tales: The Black Lullaby [Ep. 12]?)

The first part of this is something I noticed, it's also the major spoiler part. At the end of episode 12, when the wolf mask girl is looking at a burning build... there's a familiar tune. It's background music that is used in Minecraft Diaries, more times than I can count! The wolf mask girl, might be more connected to Minecraft Diaries than first assumed...

The second part, I saw a video today that was looking at the map of the Mermaid Tales world, and I saw something... something suspicious. One part of the map kind of looked like the map of Ru'uan in Minecraft, here I'll show what I'm saying...

It's not an exact familiarity, but the shape of the circled areas are suspicious. It could be a possibility...

What do you think though?

[toasty130]

I think I'm finally gonna talk about this (warning: Rant)

For a long time now, I've been thinking about Garrance. Now, I don't necessarily hate the pairing, but as of recent, I haven't vibed with it.

It was severely troubling me too. I used to like Garrance, and I can still see the potential. Why now though? Why change my feelings now...but I think I've figured it out.

Laurance is almost always mis-characterized when it comes to Garrance.

Now stick with me. I know this isn't always the case, I mean, I wouldn't be seeing the potential in Garrance if it was, but Laurance is very often feminized to an extreme point in fanarts, or even fanfics?

That's ridiculous for me to say too, I mean...come on, it's Laurance Zvhal. He would probably wear a dress just for the fun of it, but how Garrance feminizes Laurance, just feels off.

I realize this is probably just a problem with Bl and or Gay ships in general. I am a fan of Izuku x Katsuki after all, I know how this works. The taller more seemingly masculine one gets to be the top in the relationship, and the less tall, maybe more in touch with his emotions one gets to bottom. And that type of dynamic gets applied to Garrance a lot in the fandom. Now and back in the day (or at least from what I've observed).

I am a big fan of Laurance's character, and I'm rather interested in Garroth's character (Well, I also despise the man, but in the way you are kind of supposed to based off of his actions). It just leaves the bad taste in my mouth to see the characters depicted that kind of removes all the flavors from them. I think Garrance has the potential to be a good ship, but as it is now for most works? It's left me rather un-interested, and I kind of fear the idea of it becoming canon too at least in my street, Laurance in my street is rather a blank slate of a character, so he is very likely to morph into fanon Laurance in the Garrance pairing, unless he gets some late into the game development (which I hope he does)

I think why I've held back on sharing this opinion is because it's not fully formed (but I don't think it ever will be) and the track record for talking about ships in the fandom. Yeah, most people have moved on from forming fledged attacks on someone who doesn't like their ship, but I've still had that thought in the back of my head. Honestly, this is only the beginning of my opinions on some ships (don't get me started on Gene x Laurance, or do, I wouldn't mind), but what's your thoughts and opinions? I'd love to hear them.

Day 30: Void

Well, I just had to draw Laurance.

I didn't wanna draw a background. I apologize for not doing the last two days, by the end of the day, I was extremely tired and couldn't think of what to do, so I ended up just falling asleep, I'll try to think of something for tomorrow, but it is Halloween, so I'll probably be a little busy

[toasty130]

Day 26: Comfort

Warning: This could possibly be an idea for reimagining

Laurance is one of my comfort characters, and he's also one of the characters I think the most about, and of course...I also think about Aphmau and him...

(Laurance's P.O.V)

After a while…I think walking around at night becomes a habit.

Even if I'm no longer a guard in a traditional sense anymore, I can't help but walk around Phoenix Drop before sleeping. Nothing beats the idea of knowing the people you care for…are…safe.

My eyes caught a shadowy figure running to the docks. My hand immediately went to my sword.

The figure sat down on the dock and as I was about to strike, it turned around. Stopping me In my tracks, making me stumble into the sand.

“Laurance…were you following me?”

“What! No, I apologize, Lady-”

“Laurance. I'm joking.”

“Oh…right. I should know that.”

I stood up and dusted the sand off of me. Daphne silently told me to sit next to her, and of course…I did.

“When I couldn't sleep, sometimes, I would come out here, and sometimes…Garroth would sit with me.”

“Hm…seems like we share some of the same experiences.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I mean, a man can't always sleep with one eye open…sometimes he doesn't sleep at all.”

“Garroth was good at sitting in silence…wasn't he?”

“Yeah, he was.”

“He needed to get better at communicating though.”

“Understatement.” I mumbled.

Daphne and I giggled. The wind began to pick up, causing Daphne's long hair to move. I sighed and my eyes went to the water.

“I'm sorry I can't be Garroth, Aph.”

“I'm sorry I can't be Garroth either...” She started. “I guess that's the important thing though. I can only be Daphne.”

“And I can only be Laurance?”

“Yes…can you be Laurance for me?”

“As long as you're Daphne.”

“I can agree to that.”

We would sit in silence for a while, before we finally decided to face sleep…

Day 25: Fire

"His hair was like fire..."

I love Laurance's hair, and I really should discuss his hair journey in a later post. Honestly, Laurance is very fire like to me. Fire causes destruction, but from the destruction...often comes a new tree. Which kind of describes Laurance's transformation if I'm really thinking about it.

[toasty130]

Day 24: Old friends

I can't help but wonder what the friendship between Sasha, Zenix, and Laurence looked like in Mystreet. We kind of didn't get a good look at it in PDH, we only got a glimpse of Gene and Laurance. How close were Sasha, Zenix, and Laurance...

Well, here's some art of them hanging out.

Their eating fries. Oh, I meant to write something yesterday but I fell asleep. I felt like Zenix was really bad at makeup in PDH, so I showcased that here

[toasty130]

Day 22: Swap

We've seen what happens when Zane and Garroth swap in Mystreet...what happens when they swap in Minecraft dairies?

I didn't wanna draw Zane. I am quite tired...I don't like the one finger, I couldn't figure it out. I think I went a little too dark with his brows too, but oh well!

[toasty130]

Day 21: Legacy

I love the idea that Esmund had a brother...and that their relationship ultimately ended tragically...and I'd like to believe that was a trend for the Ro'meave line...

(somewhere in the afterlife)

Esmund: Oh. You're here...

Unnamed Brother: Yes...I am.

Esmund: You are. Why? I don't like to be mocked, you know that, right?

Unamed brother: Yes, but I have question.

Esmund: And?

Unnamed Brother: Why is it always the blonde ones?

Esmund: What? That doesn't make-Oh. Oh.

An Awkward silence falls between the two...

[toasty130]

Day 20: Au or Oc

Now, last year I did oc, and this year I will too. This oc is acutally one of the same ones, but with name change, and some lore change.

Meet Leora Darling! In Minecraft dairies, she's one of the Jury of Nine. Her title was The Silent Killer, since she was famously known for carrying out some of Zane's most pettiest tasks with silence. Though, one day, she found herself guarding him for a strange wedding... introducing her to the village of Phoenix Drop. Phoenix Drop reminded her of her own humble beginnings in the Neapolitan Villages, and when Zane began to be cruel to it, her heart could not handle it, setting off her brash decision to leave the jury.

As one would expect, the village of Phoenix Drop, after the Zane incident, did not trust one of his little jurors, so she ended up in jail. Though, to the people (Garroth's surprise) she went with no fight. Lady Daphne (Aphmau), unlike her guard actually seemed to respect and trust the Juror, as Leora never showed her that she was any danger...in another brash decision, Leora pledged herself to Lady Daphne and Phoenix Drop... Beginning to set her place in Phoenix Drop.

That's just some of her story in my reimagining though, and it's not even all of it. Leora is one of my favorites, and she's been with me since I was little. Honestly, her name being Leora is sort of recent, but it definitely solidified her transformation from self insert into character. Leora is quite important to me though, and I think I'll share a silly little drawing of her though (it's actually been awhile since I've drawn her)

(She does have a hair journey :D)
