hello my fellow writers and really anyone who has knowledge abt dealing with anachronisms in historical fiction- i am writing my first draft of a novel centered around the life of penelope from the odyssey and i’ve come to realize avoiding modern slang and phrases is extremely difficult to do altogether. SO! i was wondering what you guys considered too far when including anachronisms in a book that takes place in ancient times? i would really appreciate any feedback you have!
i have bestowed upon you mcd/mys aphmau angst : )
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?

looking down at my all unfinished aarmau smut fics and sweating . i really hope we’re chill bout’ that now.
Would I be burned alive for writing danvis smut and posting it on ao3 or are we chill with smut nowadays
Ok I’m gonna be honest- I forgot if Hyria met all the Divine Warriors- or just Irene- but the idea of her seeing Shad in Aaron all the time makes me so crazy. His mannerisms and appearance are so starkly similar- it is almost painful for her. She doesn’t know what to think of it. He doesn’t know he’s Shad’s descendant, and she doesn’t have the heart to tell him- so he’s just oblivious while she watches him like a hawk.
not to mention the fact she 100% knows that him and Aphmau are going to end up falling for each other because of their relations to shad and irene. she knows how this goes. she saw it first hand. URGH. IM DYING.
like imagine her trying to keep her distance from aaron because of everything too- but she just can’t because he’s so much kinder than shad ever was. just. WAHHHJWJW 💔💔💔 they make me so sad
Happy Nine Years since MCD was released everyone!!!! so sorry that this is super late, i’ve been stumped on what to draw for such a special occasion but I hope this will suffice everyone’s expectations <3 this is supposed to be the scene where aaron and aphmau first speak in the woods outside phoenix drop btw!!
anyways hope u all like this i’m gonna let my wrist take a break now lol ❤️💜
“Aarmau had no chemistry” dont make me rant again I swear to god Aphblr I will start tweaking
drew snoopy in mcd aaron’s outfit because i thought it’d be silly
sketched pre-trojan war clytemnestra ! plus some suggestive young odypen as a treat ;)
imagine nekoette begs mcd aaron to braid her hair while hes watching over the kids in phoenixdrop at one point— and all he can think about while he does it is the fact he only learned how to braid hair because he and lily were planning on having a daughter before falcon claw was massacred. LIKE . DO YOU HEAR ME. LET ME COOK.
SHE/THEY I am an aspiring author and odyssey/iliad/EPIC fan artist ^_^
