Hiii!!!!! I'm so glad you like my rewrite :D 

You ask and you shall receive >:]

(Here you go! The designs are inconsistent for now because I'm still experimenting with them... They are not set in stone)

Some fun facts for the pup trio...

  1. Dorota/Dottie is the leader of the group and one of Shad's generals.
  2. Rylan is a bard! I imagine he has a little harp that he plays.
  3. Daniel is a Mortician. A group of folks in the army that do the SK transformation rituals.
  4. Daniel was killed because he was considered too weak by the Eastern Werewolf tribe. He was revived due to his knowledge of medicine.
  5. I also imagine them as one of the older Shadow Knights. Older than Sasha and Gene at least.

Thats kind of all! (I'm sorry, I haven't thought too much of them. They'll probably get more attention once I try to flesh out Shadow Knights as a whole)

However... I can still tell you about other parts of my rewrite :) The following is really just a rant.

Shadow Knight

  • I like when horror is included in MCD Rewrites. THEREFORE, to become a Shadow Knight, someone's gotta stick a weird enchanted parasite into a dead body
  • It tends to eat at the insides during the transformation. At some point, it connects itself to the host and assimilates itself.
  • The parasite is very hungry. So uhh... Immature Shadow Knights eat flesh to help speed along the transformation.
  • I imagine that Shadow Knight Werewolves second form look like this

(Or at least some form. This is from the mo'creatures mod)

  • I imagine that Shadow Knights come in generations, as the formula was not perfect off the bat.

Shad Religion

  • Shad's religious following is split between two main sections.
  • The ones who worship him as the Divine Warrior and the others who worship the Shadow Lord
  • To many, this is considered taboo and heresy. Many have been exiled or even executed when people find out someone is a follower of Shad.
  • The two sections tend to be at odds with each other also.
  • Ms.Momoko(Kawaii~chan) and Aaron are followers of the Divine Warrior section.
  • By extension, Falconclaw was a village that worshipped the Divine Warrior in secret.

Other Facts :D

  • Some changes for my rewrite only exist because I accidentally gaslit myself into thinking they are canon. Only to find out during my rewatch that they are, in fact, not.
  • Case in point --> Jeffery's name is now Joffery.
  • 2nd point --> Vylad is the middle child, and Zane is the youngest. I've recently hammered down their ages so that Garroth and Vylad are one year apart, while Zane is 6 years younger than Garroth.
  • Katelyn and Zane are close in age (she's only two years older) and were friends before Katelyn went into the Jury of Nine. However, her entry to gain her father's title was secretly influenced by Zane.
  • I may make Katelyn into a half-fae
  • Speaking of fae! Elves are fae that have been banished from their court. --> Zoey did have wings but lost them from her banishment.

And that's all I'll tell for now >:D

abxolotl asked:

I'm curious what the difference is between werewolves and lu'pine in your mcd rewrite? :3

Avatar

Hello!! Thank you for asking, I will now tell you all I have thought about them :D

(Lu'pine on the left. Werewolves on the right)

WEREWOLVES

  • A man's very poor imitation of Lu'pine
  • Basically a curse created from a piece of Shad's soul. It originally imitated what was thought to be a Lu'pines transformation.
  • When a person is cursed from the source (lets say... an amulet), they get the full brunt of the curse. These people become the Ultima.
  • Ultima's are more prone to fits of rage. They are more beasts than they are human. It can be rather difficult to get a hold of themselves.
  • This curse can be spread through a bite. However, this curse is less potent. The curse bearer is weaker, but they are less prone to killing in a blind rage.
  • Even out of the wolf form, the human form still shows the changes from the curse
  • This can result in elongated arms, more hair and pointed ears.
  • I imagine the hair can even be a different texture than the persons actual hair. Perhaps feeling more like fur?

LU'PINE

  • The actual beastfolk of Ru'uan!
  • As of now, I've based them more on the movie Wolfwalkers! Basically, when a person sleeps, they become their wolf form.
  • Though they can't bite someone and turn them into a Lu'pine. The ability is more hereditary.

---

While Lu'pine and Werewolves are not the same, humans do not know that. Therefore, Lu'pine and Werewolfs are considered synonymous terms. Due to the fear that the general population has of werewolves, there is a large werewolf hunting industry in Ru'uan. It's a giant problem that has led to much of the Lu'pine population being wiped out!

The Southern Werewolf Tribe consists mostly of Werewolves who were looking for refuge.

(Aaron design. Inspired by @coin-z3fs)

  • Aaron is an Ultima who was cursed shortly after being given an amulet. In a blind rage, Aaron decimated his whole village before being "saved" by Zane.
  • Zane puts an enchantment on him that helps keep Aaron more under control.
  • Aaron hides his werewolf features using a glamour amulet. This gives the illusion that he looks human.
  • He works for Zane, but I have not decided whether he should be in the Jury of Nine or one of his agents

---

Werewolves and Lu'pine and Shadow Knights

  • In my rewrite, basically anyone can become a Shadow Knight if they can be successfully revived.
  • When Werewolves become Shadow Knights, it's basically a double whammy. The curse ends up doubling in on itself, creating a being that can rival or even overpower an Ultima.
  • Shadow Knight Werewolves are very unstable and are hard to keep line. They tend to not listen to the rest of the hive mind. There are very few in the Shadow King's army because of this. The few that are in the army are closely watched.
  • When Lu'pine becomes a Shadow Knight, they lose the ability to do their astral projecting stuff. They are similar to when a regular human becomes a Shadow Knight.
  • Daniel and Dottie!
  • I lowkey kind of borrow the face crest design from WolfWalkers. I just thought it would be cool design choice. It also fits in with how I draw all the other beastfolk in my rewrite. Since a lot of them tend to have face crest designs.
#minecraft diaries#mcd rewrite#aphmau#mcd#aphmau fanart#aphblr#logan mcd#aaron mcd#I imagine that Ru'uan and Gar'luk would've been dubbed Shapeshifter Country due to the amount of races that can shapeshift to varying degre#Ru'uan also has parts of the Fae Country region so yeah#I hope this makes sense? I was lowkey rambling#I haven't thought a whole lot about werewolves and Lu'pine besides the differences and haven't hammers out the pure details#I originally thought of making Lu'pine more anthropromorphic wolves but I wasn't entirely sold on the idea#also yippee an ask!!#I was really estatic when I saw this.

I was possessed by the spirit of locking in and actually started to do some fanfic for my rewrite. It's a starting snippet.

---

On that night, Garroth remembers fire.

It burned bright as it engulfed the lord's home. Even from a little distance away, Garroth could feel its sweltering heat. There were yells from the townsfolk that have come to see the commotion. He remembered seeing people bring buckets of water to calm the flames. It was no use, he thought, the fire was too big. The best they could do was make sure it didn't spread.

Garroth remembers looking around. To see if his family lord and his family made it out. He remembers running to the flames when he heard they were still in the house.

Garroth remembers the fear as he ran through the flames. Not for his life. No. What kind of guard would he be if he did not prioritize his lord's life over his own? What kind of guard would he be if he was still here while his lord was dead? Garroth ran through the flames. He could feel the searing heat through his armor, gnawing at his skin. He could not care less, though. For the safety of his family lord must come first.

Garroth remembers finding his son brother? apprentice passed out and surrounded by fire. He remembers carrying him out and passing him to Dale. He remembers trying to run back, only for the house to collapse. He remembers still running to the house before being pulled away. He tried to yell and kick them away. (Because what kind of guard would he be if he did not protect the very people he swore to protect with his life?) More people kept pulling him away. He only tried even harder to run. Someone turned him around. Garroth remembers Dale's worried face. He was yelling about something, but Garroth does not remember.

Because his lord is dead and he has failed.

teehee have some various mcd doodles

Some assorted character doodles!

  • Ava from My Inner Demons makes an appearance! The familiar next to her is Johnny
  • Rylan, Dottie and Daniel have a counterpart here. They are all shadow knights!
  • Dotties real name is Dorota. However, she prefers that friends call her Dottie.
  • Dottie and Rylan are werewolves while Daniel is a Lu'pine from the Eastern Wolf Tribe
  • Together, they create Cerberus. A large part of their role in the Shad's army is to cultivate Shad's following in the overworld.
  • Molly, Donna and Zoey!! These designs feel pretty close to how I want them. However, subject to change.
  • I've joined the Zoey had Antlers agenda. It just feels right now...
  • Thorgi!!
  • I imagine he's a Swedish Vallhund (Which I guess is a wolf corgi??)
  • I imagine that Thorgi is a sort of spirit/familiar that was travelling with a travelling group before being attacked by a bandit camp. Aphmau finds him in the aftermath and adopts him. (She does not realize that's not a regular wolf for the longest time)
  • Travis!! I think I wanna stick with this hairstyle. It's fun
  • I'm going to be honest here, I made these doodles a while ago and I think I forgot most of what I was thinking here
  • Ex-Lovers Azura and Garroth? (They maybe are on better terms after Azura discovers that Garroth is alive and well as PD's Head Guard)
  • I think I made it that a lot of events happened in quick succession which led to Garroth having a mental breakdown(?). It just so happened that Zane was there at the wrong time. I don't think Garroth burned Zanes face, but something happened that made Garroth realize that if he stayed, he would become like Garte.
  • Vylad dies at 16 and stays 16 forever, basically. He hates this.
  • Hyria doesn't really look human. She uses a puppet and pretends that it's her.
  • Some other doodles + an OC! (or two?)
  • Junko and Kuro are Ms.Momoko's travelling companions. Junko is a doll that she animated while Kuro is the crow familiar. (Junko is the person that Ms.Momoko revived)
  • I doodle Ms. Momoko and Aaron a lot together. Probably because they are the only two characters so far who worship Shad's old domain.

Watching s2 of MCD again has given me an interesting new perspective on Aaron. After he adopts Lilith, he talks about how he doesn’t want to leave her without a father.

My first thought when I saw him say this was: Aaron, you absolute hypocrite.

Then I took a few hours to properly think about it.

Aaron full-heartedly believes he failed Jacob. That he failed his people when Zane killed them. He is terrified that he will fail Lilith too.

But there is a perfectly suitable (in his eyes) father trapped in the Irene Dimension.

Everyone (at least from my understanding— I could be very, very wrong) frames his death as revenge, with Garroth being saved as a side perk, but what if it was the opposite?

What if his intent was to save Garroth, to give Lilith a father? Killing Zane and himself were just added bonuses for him.

Everything Aaron has ever done was for his children, and in the end, he failed them like he always thought he would.

#mcd#wowowowos#so yes actually#I think puts into words Aaron's thought process through the whole thing is !!!!#watching season 2 really made me a little intrigued with his character#hes a really distant man at first but slowly grows to care for aphmau and after that he comes more out of his shell#he cares for aphmau and for Lilith. but I wonder if he ever doubted if he shouldve been given a second chance at fatherhood#he sees that aphmau clearly cares for garroth and it's eating away at her. he saw the hope in her eyes when there maybe a chance to bring#him back!!#maybe his motivation for revenge changed and he hoped to give his second chance to garroth#jahsksjdjdjd yeah rewatching mcd letsgooo
