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?

That nb kid that got beaten to death in OK looks so much like a long time friend of mine that when I first saw the picture I was like "whoa that's [redacted] as a teenager" and then when I sent it to my friend her reaction was also "whoa that's me as a teenager???"
And that's the problem, isn't it. That kid looked identical to a cis friend of mine who is barely, barely, BARELY any amount of GNC. She's not hyper fem but she's also not particularly masculine any more than a typical rural Alabaman woman with too much shit to do to spend all day dolling herself up would be.
And that kid got beaten to death.
And buried under dead name and pronouns.
And I'm just kinda. Wondering where the safety and privilege is in that.
As I've said many times, I'm perfectly willing to talk about the areas in my life that have become safer as I pass with lore and more regularity. Now when are we going to talk about those who can't, or those whose gender expression isn't in passing, or those who have just begun their journey and haven't yet been able to do anything about it.
This kid looked just like my cis friend. They're dead now. If "looking cis" doesn't save you, what does?
oh my god?? thank you guys?? It hasn’t even been a week yet ?? and i’ve already hit 500 likes and 100 reblogs??
i have only known you for a few days but i would die for you all
important to note :

i’ll prolly be posting here art i’ve done and am doing for my aphmau au/rewrite ( @iyo-mcd-rewrite ) !
i’ll hopefully have some sexy wof or md art up for you all by thursday . that’s all for now!! thank you so much
please donate to this if you can!! unsure if it’s been vetted / verified, but thought i’d share regardless.
"I am Khawla from Gaza, 34 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to support her family of 5: Me, my husband, and my three children: Muhammad, who is 5 years old; Sham, who is 3 years old; and Ghazal, who is nearly a year and a half old. In our terrible conditions, My son Muhammad contracted hepatitis from drinking contaminated water, and both he and Sham are deprived of their right to register in kindergarten, daycare, or other educational institutions. Additionally, due to the circumstances and lack of income, necessary benefits like milk are not provided to baby Ghazal.🫂💙🥺
With that, my husband's livelihood ha been completely destroyed since we are no longer entitled to work; and we expect to live under miserable conditions in tents in Mawasi Khan Yunis. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in Gaza; with no food, no medicine, no clean drinking water; with oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, doubts, and daily traumas caused by everything around us and inability to care for loved ones. the fear of danger, disease and death never leaves us🍉🫶
Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my children, by getting us out of Gaza or helping us have money for medication or other necessities we may have access to. Asking for help is not easy, but we were left with no choice because we want to survive and we strive to rebuild our broken lives. We are very grateful for any help you can provide, no matter how small, as your help will contribute greatly to alleviating our suffering. I hope you will share my story with your family and friends."🍉🍉💙🇵🇸🇵🇸
