hi!! it’s me again!! today i bring you a little teaser for my mcd roleplay that’s gonna be coming up either this or next year!!

i’m really excited for it, and the guys in the mcd big bang server have really inspired me to keep on crafting. more updates about this will come soon if you guys are interested in hearing more!!

(under the cut is a little tidbit about roleplay locations)

every city in red is going to be an area/setting you can actually roleplay in!! it’s not concrete, and could change—but this is what i’m thinking. key below <3

circle with diamond — ‘capital’ of the phoenix drop alliance

circle with dot — major cities

circle — minor cities

diamond — settlement/village

animal footprint/marking — high concentration of that region’s nonhuman species

I hate “closed” tribes. Hot take- Tribes like Dewwings are just Leafwings2 - you shouldn’t be creating tribes or monetary value towards an IP you down own the rights to- they are just for flashy show because “look! I have a cool dragon, and hahah you don’t!”

I feel like Tui wouldn’t like them, simply because IPs like that make a lot of money, and publishers don’t like non-ip owners encroaching on that

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?

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?

I don’t think you all understand the absolute fucking torture that Palestinians are facing from Israel. Could you, just for one second, pull your head out of your ass and analyze your cushy, privileged life. Just for one moment, think about how good you have it. You have a home, food, water, you’re not dying of infection from untreated wounds or running with no place to go from constant bombings. You don’t know what it feels like to have your skin burnt off by white phosphorous. You don’t know what it feels like to have your limbs cut off without anesthesia. You don’t know what it feels like to watch your dead children get pulled out of rubble, in pieces. You don’t know what it feels like to drink dirty water and go days without eating. You don’t know what it feels like to watch the neighborhood you grew up in be wiped off the face of the earth. You don’t know what it feels like to hear nothing but screams and the rumbling off bombs going off. You don’t know, because you have it SO much better than you realize. The people, the human beings, in Palestine are being brutalized and you couldn’t be bothered. Feel shame, feel guilt. If there is a hell, we are all going there.
