Aphmau Pdh - Blog Posts

Me and @moo-xic finally finished writing the first chapter of our PHD rewrite good lordddddd

need to rant for a minute here. i rewatched an episode of phoenix drop high awhile ago and i keep thinking about this one scene where garroth asks aphmau if she wants a boyfriend, laurance comments that it’s a blunt question, and garroth says “well at least i’m not afraid to ask blunt questions.”

like. JESSICA. how do you mischaracterize your own characters that badly?? garroth was always the more reserved one, while laurance was always more outwardly flirtatious and bold. that interaction should 100% be flipped; it should be garroth telling laurance that he’s being blunt and laurance telling garroth that “at least i’m not afraid to ask blunt questions,” not the other way around!!

it just drives me crazy because, after rewatching mcd recently, i’ve realized how much garroth and laurance were changed and watered down when they were adapted from mcd to mystreet/pdh. i feel that they had much more distinct personalities in in mcd while in mystreet and pdh, they almost seem like the same character in different fonts?? tbh, i think a large part of it was done to make room for aaron to be front and center instead, but that’s a whole other tangent.

bring back interesting and multifaceted garroth and laurance 2k25 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
