PREACHHHH

I need to know the in-universe thought process behind this outfit.

This take is so good and interesting omfg

I like thinking about Laurance's shadow form lately. The power of it, and its drawbacks.

The ability to grow in size, and have the strength of ten men. But the transformation requires his body to forcibly re-shape itself, and his body was never built for it. Every second, both of the transformation and to maintain the new form, would be absolute agony.

He can protect those he loves, perform great feats of strength, and beat impossible odds... All while every moment makes his grip on sanity slip just a little more. And when he's done he crumbles to the floor, sobbing in pain. The transformation leaves no visible injuries to treat, but the ache lasts days. Everything about it is nightmarish for him, the proof he's becoming a monster.

And yet those around him see it as a nessescary burden. Aphmau thinks of it as a hidden weapon to pull out when things go south, and the others have never seen it, or how it hurts him. So they believe her.

And as time passes, he's unable to see her as the sweet, innocent woman he once knew. She mourns a man she barely knew to the extent of blocking out all else, and barely even seemed to care when they thought Garroth would die in the Irene demension. She sees his Shadow as a tool, not as the beast that haunts his every moment.

And he begins to resent her. He gave his life for her once, and now she knows she can make him do it again. He wonders if she sees them all this way. Garroth as her greatest bargaining chip, Dante as the loyal dog that will waste away waiting for her return. She's played them all for fools.

But he still wonders if it's the Shadow speaking those words, so he forces them down. And then he runs, out of fear he can no longer bear to look at the woman he now despises. He won't kill her, he swore that much. But he cannot stay by her side as he watches her grow distant and uncaring. She seems a stranger now. A stranger in his best friend's skin.

...

So yeah, I'm working on the framework for my rewrite of Laurance's madness arc lol

best thing I’ve seen all day

lots of recent crap

I don't see enough people talking about blind/partially blind Laurance. I've kept partial blindness in my re-write, because I think it's more interesting than having him just be entirely 'cured', but I still think that his sight returning is an interesting moment in the plot, that I've kept for... Reasons.

But another interesting aspect to this is that afterward, he would have to completely re-learn how to fight. Because being even half blind is a MAJOR disadvantage if you don't have training around it.

And I already think his fighting style would be bizarre by Ru'anian standards, because his first teacher was Ungrth.

Though luckily, the fact that he's had to re-teach himself a lot of techniques because of disability combined with the fact that he doesn't fight 'normally' to begin with means that a lot of the people he's fighting don't figure out what the actual fuck he's doing fast enough to counter it.

HIS RACCOON TAILS AT THE FRONT ARE SO CUTE AAAAA

gyaruo garrence....... ohmy goodness gracios

IM TWEAKING BRAH

FULLY ANIMATED MYSTREET PROJECT

COMING LATE 2025

Easily the best part of early MCD is Aph’s voice acting. Why is Zenix voiced as if he’s at the bare minimum fifty years of age???

you've doomed us all, brother.

garroth & zane

the shadow knights!! and some head canons:

>they were all super close, like very clingy to each other. they were all kinda in love, casual kisses and cuddling n stuff

>laurance and gene were together, as well as sasha and zenix. despite this, they're still all very casually romantic

>sasha has albinism. because of this her vision isn't the best and she in particular clings onto people physically for guidance, mostly zenix

>they weren't all evil mode in the beginning, they were just a group of kids that differed from the norm and were bullied a lot. they created the shadow knights just to seem tougher

>laurance left the shadow knights because he was bullied more for being in it than not. in the moment it was fully fueled by fear, but looking back on it, he feels horrible

>after laurance broke up with gene, gene went a little bit insane. that's when they became a delinquent group

Hey gang long time no see 👋

This is supposed to be Gene (very Gerard Way inspired) but I lowkey doubt I’ll ever finish it sooooooo!!
