it would be so fucking funny if during the scene Garroth knocks out Laurance I just pause the episode and go watch void paradox and then go back to watching mcd AKAKAKKASKKSK

Oh you couldn’t be that ugly!

I…uh…..

[normalmystreet]

No one going to talk about how when The Wolf spoke the scar on his mask glowed?! Is the scar not just some regular old mask scar? Is it or magic or something else? I have so many ideas but none of them make sense.

ALSO, Maybe it's just the color scheme but did this give everybody else VP Aph vibes because it did for me. Hairstyle is closer to Ava from MID though so maybe it's her but who knows. It's a cool outfit though.

petition for caspian to become a reocurring character in the aph verse

i love mermaid tales so much and it getting a season 2, despite any flaws that season may have, has made me so happy. mermaid tales was one of my favorite aphmau roleplays, and i never thought it would get a continuation, esp since it looked like all roleplays were cancelled for a while. i love how the off the wall setup and comedy has been preserved in s2, even with things getting serious. i cant believe that this is one of the main timelines now, but that brings me so much joy. i like seeing jess write fantasy and it makes me hope for a diaries rebirth continuation. i love seeing old characters like laurance have the spotlight again, and i like how the demon boys are there too. i always found it easier to get invested in the spinoff roleplays, cuz i didnt have 100 episodes to catch up on, and im so glad to see my favority get so much love

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...

mermaid tales: tbl ep 13 first thought

PEAK episode omg

I dont completely hate the 2 side quest arcs, though I wish they were either shorter or added more to the main plot, but THIS WAS SOOO GOOD

I’m really excited to see how the man story plays out

the wolf seems like they could be a fun antag

LOVED Zane’s design

Especially his haircut and the lack of mask. I kinda expected them to keep his human head the same, since that what they always do for recognition, but I’m so glad they switched it up because this version of Zane doesn’t have a reason to cover his face like the others do!

also androgynous Zane canon!!!

really happy Laurence seems to be taking on a bigger role

would love to see some more characters from s1, but I think that should probably prioritize the newbies

Edwin redemption arc?

still waiting for updates on Caspian. He feels like such a Chekhovs gun

tldr; overall a really great episode that makes me really excited for this last arc

[zanethecrab]

garrence and lucinda x katelyn changed my brain chemistry as a child

[zanethecrab]

one time i saw a Pheonix Drop Headcannon / rewrite where vylad looked up to / wanted to be firends with zane and i think about that all the time. i dont think theres any actual evidence for it but its canon in my heart

[colorpuppyy]

Even more old Garmau art, y'all seem to like it quite a bit 😭♥️ I like this one WAY more

[zanethecrab]

mystreet dante redesign

The shading and hues on his original model always bugged me a bit, so here’s my shot and redesigning him while staying as close to his canon outfits as possible!

i stand by the fact Aaron in MCD could've been one of the best characters ever in the right hands.

Because he's a stereotypical male fantasy mc in a story not about him. This is not centred on how cool and tragic and brooding he is. He is all of those things, but like, off to the side. His side quests, his revenge plot, that's all secondary, because the world does not revolve around every sad guy. The people who do real change are the people who do it with joy and whimsy and put all else aside to do good in the world.

Aaron could never have been the protagonist of MCD because MCD is a story about doing good even when it all looks hopeless, about someone who seems powerless gaining the power to make real change solely because they stepped up and did shit to make the world better even when these thing seemed small in the grand scheme.

And if Aaron was fully fleshed out and well-written I think his place in the story would be really meaningful. Especially if it put emphasis on the importance of the balance between them. Sometimes you need to do the ugly, bad thing, and sometimes it shouldn't fall upon the Good Guy to do it. Sometimes the Good Guy needs a Bad Guy on their side to do the shit they never would've had the evil in them to do.

That could have been Aaron. Aarmau could have gone so hard.

But noooo. He did nothing, he fucked, he died, and that is his legacy. forever.
