Blaming My Many MCD WIPs I Present My Headcanons Of The Guard Academy

Out of context Malevolent 47

This is still the funniest thing I've heard in the episode lmao

okay so you were probably joking about the whole starting a minecraft server for aphblr but im actually working on doing it. we need to get more people before we get it started to see what kind of server everyone is interested in. you wanna join in?

Absolutely, yes I do.

I wasn’t joking btw I was like dead serious I need to be able to blow up your houses and have a reason to be cancelled out of this fandom. (/hj)

Let’s do it.

So because I am just a sucker for angst, I can just imagine that after the relics are created (i hc that the rest of DW [minus Irene] didn't realize what the others sacrifices would be) they talk of visiting Hyria and the little girl (i can't name either so) and while they do Shad seems to leave the conversation (mentally or physically) and they eventually just stop talking about it.

Eventually, they end up visiting Hyria again and don't see the little girl, asking where she is. At that the conversation stills and Hyria looks first to Shad, who was on the verge of tears, then to Irene, saying they needed to talk later. After that Hyria just avoids answering the question all together.

Throughout that vist Shad and Hyria seem much closer than ever.

[This is just my silly little rambles. I have hardcore beef with Irene.]

blazeron anon :3 do you ever think about irene and shad's daughter? because i do. a lot. it's a special ability of mine to fixate on the most minuscule characters possible :3 anyway i found an old fic i wrote where said daughter was adopted by hyria because idk man this was years ago never finished it :D

Blazeron anon are we the same person?!

I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT SHAD AND IRENE AND THEIR DAUGHTER LITERALLY ALL MORNING THIS IS INSANE

Anyways I just fully came to terms with this characters existence today when thinking about how I want to develop Shad's character, so I don't have a lot of thoughts that aren't just me making fun of MCDs writing (my bread and butter). But I have been thinking about the kind of life she had before Irene did... That. To her.

Because we don't know how old she was (at least I don't think we do), but I imagine she was at least a toddler, if not older. Alina is like 3 in MCD Season 3, and I want their daughter to be a little older than that so that way Shad feels even more pain seeing Alina because he can almost pretend she never died because she didn't grow past this age for very long the first time but maybe she can this time. I also don't have a name for their daughter because I'm terrible at naming things but I'll figure it out eventually.

Anyways imagining this five year old girl picking flowers in the forest around Hyria's cottage and coming home to give them to Hyria, Kul'zak, and Irene and all four of them weave flower crowns for each other. The Divine Warriors have a whole Flower Crown thing that's evolved into its own beast in my rewrite that's an entire post unto itself. But this girl made soooo many flower crowns. Especially ones for her Mom/Dad when she was staying with the other parent and waiting for the other to "come back home", not quite realizing the decayed state of her parents relationship, and that there's a reason "home" described about half a dozen locations important to her.

All the Divine Warriors probably knew her. Held her. Had memories with her. With Irene, with Shad, with the entire family. And I don't know if Irene ever told any of them the truth about what happened to her.

Every time I think about this child my heart breaks

Woof woof. Bark bark. Woof woof woof

And Galladay but Daaron ig

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!"

Reblog to unleash this cat on your mutuals

I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.
