Aphverse - Blog Posts

I lov her very much
This just makes me think of a role reversal-ish au with everyone thinking Aphmau is Irene incarnate and Aaron Shad but actually the opposite.
You think MCD Aphmau is ever bitter cleaning up Irene's mess?
Like does she run into people slighted by Irene all the time, blaming it on her or demanding she fix it even though really, she is not the same person?
And then she does her best to make it right despite that, because that's the kind of person she is, and each time the people are just... kinda ungrateful.
And then Shad comes along, wanting to kill her because she's Irene and completely fucked him over and she finally snaps like;
"THATS NOT MY FUCKING PROBLEM! It's not my responsibility to clean up her mess! Irene is dead! And I'm too tired for this shit!"
I imagine that snaps Shad out of his murder boner. "Oh shit, it really isn't Irene." And then that starts this road of getting to know this new "Irene" who is now absolutely nothing like the old one.
In fact... Aphmau now is way more like Shad used to be. And Shad himself doesn't know how to feel about that. Meanwhile, Aaron is cackling because, "Bitch that's what I was trying to tell you!"
Being an ex-Aphmau consumer, Mystreet Season 1 is very funny in hindsight because of how irrational Garroth and Laurence's possessiveness over Aphmau was.
They were always concerned about how Aphmau was spending too much time at Aaron's house despite them never really making much of an effort or invite her either. Even if so, the L was already in their face and they should've just taken it.
On top of having abs for days, Aaron was also incredibly chill, actually genuinely spent time with her, treated Aphmau like an actual person, and also (temporarily for more reasons) wore a blindfold---so the guy can't even see how ugly you actually are.
When you have it all down, is it really any wonder she wanted be around him all that time when it was clear from the start that Aaron actually respected her autonomy as a human being to begin with?
