aphmau art hand appreciation post … if you see this on both accs no you didn’t
didn’t draw much this weekend, so here’s some doodles mainly from the mcd rewrite
@iyo-mcd-rewrite ! go check it out. have to update it later today
the wof doodle i’ve already posted! but i don’t have the wof wip i did this week on hand, so it’s a placeholder for now
This was originally intended for people who tangibly create their own designs of characters, but if you have your own designs of MCD characters floating around in your head for any reason at all, drawn or not, this poll is for you too!!
"Combination" and "Elements of Orange AND Brown" refers to if there are multiple hair colors going on at once. EX: a gradient from brown to orange, red streaks in brown hair, etc.
If the hair color of your Laurance doesn't depend on his time pre/post Nether, or falls outside of the bounds of the options here for some other reason... Use your best judgement!
If things get complicated, feel free to leave clarification in the tags/etc! :D
Back at it again with more design polls! I'd like to do polls more regularly on this blog again, and personal interpretations/designs seems to be a good way to do those :D
I know I'm definitely in the weirdo camp here, so where do you fall?
thought this would be a perfect question to start off the blog with. not on my sideblog ( @iyo-mcd-rewrite ) so i don’t cloud it up. will be answering other questions on there, though!
short summary; i grew up with aphmau and created an au with a friend in 2020 during covid after hearing about the iffy things jess did. i’m not making the au anymore with them, but i’m continuing it on since i care a lot about the series.
a longer, more extensive reply under the cut!
i’ve been an aphmau kid ever since mcd started eight years ago in 2016. essentially, that means i was watching it at 7-8, but, that wasn’t the worst thing ever (especially since i was reading wings of fire and warriors in the fourth grade also).
i’ve always been drawn into the show—it’s lore, the characters, the unique twist jess played on a minecraft world and roleplay, all of it. i’d watch every episode when it came out, and even started watching mystreet when she introduced that.
however mcd slowed down after a while, and i found new interests due to growing up more. i stopped watching after the finale of the second season, and additionally stopped watching mystreet a little later in the third season.
four years ago, right before covid, i started to binge mcd again after a conversation with an (online) friend about aphmau. we discussed the distasteful things she had done, and were rather appalled of what had come of our favorite childhood context creator—ending up deciding to binge it together. i hadn’t thought about her in a while, but the idea of watching a comforting show seemed quite appealing—especially once covid hit and i had a lot of time to overthink and ponder.
me and said friend started our au that year, determined to revisit the glory of our youth and take back the world we loved after the betrayal of the creator. so we used our time in quarantine to help craft a world together—we were both in middle school/similar ages, so obviously it wasn’t that well made, and our ocs we shoddily added in were full of flaws. but it was ours, and we loved it to bits.
eventually we broke apart, and i didn’t touch the au for a while. but i had a resurgence last year, and am having one now, of wanting to continue this world oh so dear to my heart.
so here i am. i’m determined to bring my passion project to light for once, prepared to share four years of information (and to tweak and build upon what’s currently there.)
rewriting mystreet was an afterthought, but love love paradise was always something i was fond of, and the idea of just a modern version of my worldbuilding didn’t seem that bad.
my creations aren’t based off of the canon characters—i feel i wouldn’t do them much justice—but you’ll still see them often. this is more centered around the actual world and realms mcd and mystreet reside in, as you’ll see. i have my own plethora of characters, species, cultures, and regions to add in, each with their own divine warrior.
i’m just rambling now, so i’ll stop it there — but i invite you all to join me on my journey of giving a rebirth to the series we all hold so dear!
Rewriters: What is your reasoning behind why you started rewriting Mystreet and/or MCD?
introducing: iyo
sup! i’m iyo. i’ve had this account for a while, but finally decided to start using it. this is probably the most formal i’ll be for a while. also, a txt version of the image with more info is below in the cut!
introduction pt. 2
general stuff
iyokko — any prns (they/them default, afab)
hi there! i’m a midwestern digital artist who also likes to dabble into worldbuilding. i’m quite busy with schoolwork and extracurriculars, but i like to make time to share my insane ramblings i have throughout the day.
i’ve got a lovely girlfriend! i’m fruity, unfortunately. i might talk about her occasionally, but i’ll try not to since this is the public eye.
i have a pretty poor attention span though, and i’ll probably appear periodically on this account. when that happens, i’m still alive! feel free to send me stuff.
fandoms
here are some of my interests as of late:
murder drones
aphmau (why i joined tumblr! was a mystreet and minecraft diaries kid growing up.)
alice in borderland
extraordinary attorney woo
wings of fire + fantribes (also a wof kid! still am. make most of my extra cash through the ever-popular fantribes on discord.)
blue lock (manga)
beastars + beast complex (both manga)
oshi no ko (manga — stopped reading it for now since it’s gone off on the deep end)
hallow knight
danganronpa (the disease infected me in middle school and it’s sadly rotted in my head permanently)
one piece (just got into it! wish me luck)
warrior cats (read this at the same time as wof and aph. no wonder i came out so gay)
other stuff too! this is just from the top of my head.
qna
what brought you to joining tumblr?
aphmau brought me here! i saw the community, and as a lifelong aphmau fan—with a rewrite in the works by the way—i just had to join in. tumblr’s been on my radar for a while now to join!
what/when will you post?
i’ll be generally posting my art and ramblings! unfortunately, i probably won’t have a very set schedule, but i’ll try to post at least once or twice a week.
what should i stay for?
if you like my personality or art style, then you should stick around! i can’t promise i’ll be talking about every fandom i’m in, but a few that have always stuck with me are danganronpa, aphmau, and wings of fire. those three will probably continue being posted about throughout my tumblr career, so if you like that sort of content, i might be up your alley.
my inbox—is it open?
it’s currently open! but please be patient with me, i’ve only ever lurked on tumblr before. actually using it is currently a mystery i’m uncovering.
any sideblogs to be aware of?
currently i have one other account for my mcd and myst rewrite! it’s called @iyo-mcd-rewrite! hopefully the link worked for that—if not, you’ll often see me reblog posts from it.
i might make others for my two other big fandoms (wof and danganronpa), but for now they’ll be contained in this main one!
do you have other accounts?
discord — iyokko
instagram — iyokko__
toyhouse — iyokko
twitter — iyokko185998
email — iyokko.15@gmail.com
where do i contact you?
i’m most active on discord and toyhouse, but if you dm me on insta or email me, i’ll get it at a later date! twitter i am at a loss for on dms. that’s all for now!
lil reblog! will hopefully have a short blurb about the different (major) realms out tomorrow . and potentially summarize / make whatever this mess is digestible
also shadow knight armor is just an exoskeleton tbh. they’re just giant undead and aggressive bugs
the big magic hell dump
if you can’t understand this, i will not blame you. it’s super convoluted—but here is a collection of 2022 magic notes mixed with current ones (i tweaked stuff a bit)
all realms have extremely high magic levels, but the end and nether have races with the most magical capability. this is because those realms were created for the shadow lord / shad and the ender dragons (the nether and the end realm respectively) + the biomes are "less drastic" than the overworld ones and caused a lack of sentient biodiversity. so, with only a few sentient races, the magic is distributed less and subsequently causes their magic concentration to be a lot more dense/higher than an overworld race , because in the overworld there is an *array* of races / sentient species, and causes the overall population to have lower magic concentration levels . the level itself varies from race and individual, however, but this is the general gist of it all.
+ this is why nether (including sks), end, and draconian races have blood that either is white or black and glowy. to those with low levels, it would burn to the touch as that is where all the magic is stored -- besides the core (an orb-ish thing that contains all your magic, and it's essentially in a personal pocket dimension inside your chest) , but that's another conversation
loosing lots of blood will do damage to what magic you can perform at that time -- think of it as mana pools -- and that's why lots of the nether and end races were inherently carnivorous or omnivores. it's like toh where belos needs a palismen's magic/bloodish thing to survive. while they don't kill people for their blood, they hunt down animals of their respective realms for that magical blood + their cores. removing a core is less gorey than it sounds—it’s like reaching into someone’s chest (your hand would go through the solid material of said body. typically takes some practice to perform) grabbing the spirit. there are no blood cults and all that shit, as you can even get some from certain plants + it's like vitamins or pills . it's very common for it to be mixed into food, healthcare items/consumables or gauzes, and/or drinks. probably brought up the idea of vampires in human folklore, but then again, there are soul-eaters lurking around (i’ll talk about them later.)
shadow knights are completely magic — their will and determination to continue living on boosting their core to remain after the perishing of the mortal/physical body. wounded knights will need to return to realms with higher concentrations of magic in order to survive. the mortal plane/earth will not have enough to sustain them, unless they are ingesting copious amounts of magic . since shadow knights can’t really digest food, the lava from the nether or a magical item like a golden apple are typically used to replenish.
the more magical one is, the thinner the barrier between the spirit and the mortal body is. so a magical race like a draconian would have to be especially careful during near-death occasions, as they would probably not pass on to the next life or would completely perish when their mortal body does. wounds take quicker to heal, but humans have the advantage of reincarnation or resurrection afterwards.
sks who perish completely disappear due to this — no way to get them back after their second chance. and i can’t imagine they would want to.
gods and divines are very similar to this, but typically whatever gave them their major source of power (aka a relic) just passed on into the next generation since they aren’t tethered to the previous wielder after death. typically these higher beings don’t have to worry about dying due to unnatural causes—you’re a goddamn divine, you probably wouldn’t have much trouble killing your opponents or leaving. but there are always scenarios one should be aware of.
when one dies, their core magic will either be consumed or go back into the environment they died in. like water, there’s a set amount of magic, but the amount in the air and “free” depends on the amount of people.
when one dies, their mortal body decays and either:
their core completely dissipates and returns to the world — higher levels of magic since the barrier of both bodies get more and more thin
persists for a while to reincarnate, become a sk, or something similar
while it seems like a big blow to those with higher magic, this trade off allows for them to perform much more complex levels of magic than the average person. it can be used in technology and other wild feats much quicker—since you have less of a barrier to get across. witches, albeit humans with a genetic history of a thinner barrier, or with non-human ancestry, are somewhere in between, allowing for a somewhat stable body and non-core magic use (harnessing the magic from the world outside of your body—ex. potions, runes). due to this, they’re seen as making pacts with a “demon” (essentially an enderian. fun fact, the demon warlock is one) and are typically shunned or burned. because we can’t have nice things, obviously.
up to change : however, material weapons do less damage to a magical body as they can kinda just. disintegrate once they touch the blood. same goes for magical weapons, as the core is more resistant to change and the person has a material body to fall back on.

HI HELLO MY AU REVOLVES AROUND THIS
not sure about our canon characters changing yet since the newer species are in diff regions, but . i’ve got 7 other regions / continents to explore that are packed with new cultures and species
a few to note , which i’ll be expanding on later + showing more in a post i’m working on :
lago
dragons (wyla and eirou, thinking of combing them because the divide of western and eastern dragons seems.. kinda iffy?)
bird people
enderians and endermen
siren
wisps / spirits (think different from ghosts, more of protectors or guardians of an area)
wither skeletons + piglin
and a few others i can’t think of rn
i think people should start making aphverse characters non canon creatures like make someone part enderman or a rabbit hybrid or even a full on robot
.
introducing : iyo

Things To Do - Aaron [MyStreet] animatic

i think this is my first actual MyStreet animatic?? which is crazy because i've wanted to make one since 6 yrs ago when i first watched those Reacting To Fan Art videos Jess used to make 💀
posted it on YouTube as well !!
basically MyStreet s5
i love 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 Aph she’s my fav 🫶
finished all of Aph’s main outfits!! minus FCU bc I have no idea how to redesign that one 💀
something is brewing,,
I’m currently working on the rough draft of a MyStreet animatic that I hope to actually finish and not give up on!! in celebration of season 7 and my obsession for this series returning. the next part I have to do is essentially a bunch of screenshot redraws from specific moments for the background of this one shot and those won’t go through a rough phase, so I figured I’d better get my personal designs of the characters down before I continue. Obviously I’m nowhere near finished even blocking out the colours/shapes of the main cast yet, but I expect this project as a whole to take a long while! I’ll update whenever I make decent progress ^^
MY FIRST EVER ANIMATIC IS DONE HOLY FLIP!?!?! i love mcd aaron and alina :((( especially in my au where aaron gets his body back- so have this lil thing!! 💜
ithaca saga doing numbers on me what if i start bawling my eyes out in front of everyone. anyway i thought this fit them
