Something very interesting about those nicknames is the thones of the nicknames itself.
Some of them are multifunctional. Can be spoken in multiple ways.
Laurance being called a vixen sounds threatening and mysterious. But also honestly cool, maybe even charming. You can imagine people speaking in fear of him, but also people gushing about the idea of him with a nickname like that. But a vixen also makes him sound like someone not to be trusted.
Garroth's nickname in comparison is a little less scary. It can be used in many different ways. A dog is loyal. Loyalty can be feared, devotion to a cause can be looked up to, and the reasons for the nickname are honourable. But calling someone a dog is also very insulting. Saying someone doesn't have a mind on their own. Devotion is also quite pathetic through another lense. A dog is something to fear but also to look down to. It's an exaggeration of the idea of a guard.
Aaron's first nickname, "hellhound," is both scary AND mocking. But a different mocking than Garroth, a dog sounds a bit pathetic. But a hellhound sounds monsterous. Scary, brutal, merciless, something to be feared. But it also sounds monsterous to a point that it's mocking him. Painting him as this beast. Kind of like in mystreet with his ultima curse!!
And Aaron's "dove" nickname. Cute, honestly. Way more positive than hellhound. Very romantic.
I FORGOT I HAD AN ASK BOX OML!!!
i’m very glad you catch onto the reasonings behind the name choices i picked!! i put a decent amount of thought into them so i’m glad u get the idea lmao. also i see your ask correcting yourself on the dove thing so dw!!! i do have it so aaron calls aphmau dove as a nickname anyway so u totally get the vibes im putting down hehe ^_^
hai guys i don’t mean to ramble but do you think as shad was trying to kill aphmau in the woods during season 3, that all she could think about was how they’d been there before 3 years ago. not in those woods exactly, but in the woods around the island village, or wherever they were traveling to. they were sparring. her and aaron sparred every few days out in the forest before everything suddenly came to an end. and here she is, in the woods again, sword to her throat, as if she was with him again, having fun. but he isn’t there to comment on her strategy or help her to her feet anymore. he’s gone. and he’s been gone for a long, long time. IM ILL </3
mcd garroth save me. save me mcd garroth . anyways haiii hope u guys like this ^_^ the composition is weird but idc lol
hi guys it’s me again. have a mcd aphmau character ref sheet to go with my mcd aaron one from yesterday!!!! she’s so slay i love them. btw!!! garmau are in a qpr in this rewrite !!! isn’t that fun ? :3
i’m so glad somebody said this it makes me way more confident in posting my art on here knowing that a bunch people still tolerate aarmau and stuff. makes me feel better about my life decisions fr 😭
I don't know how to feel about Aarmau. Honestly, I have so many mixed feelings.
Some fans just make so cool fanart for it!! Two in particular. Of their own versions of the ship. And it's so!!/pos
Honestly, I have always been one to fix things in my rewrites instead of just writing characters off. To see the faults but also the potential and change what was wrong instead of erasing a character as a whole. So the question on is Aarmau is good also depends on if you mean canon or not. Of course, I hate it in canon! But there's so much wrong with canon. And they are like that because of Jess and Jason's relation, she doesn't realise it's wrong. And so much else falls under that category too. Of characters that weren't MEANT to be shitty because Jess doesn't think their actions are even if they are. Like ghost, as a prime example. Where do you draw the line? What do you do when what they did was bad but it's never treated as such within the narrative? And can you really blame people for still enjoying the leftover crumbs and baking their own cookies out of them?
For making their own take on Aarmau.
We all have made our own versions of the characters in our heads anyway. What's the harm in someone shipping it if they erase the age gap and other icky stuff?
