User blog:DCOwikia/Is Hyria LYING To Aphmau? (MCD S2 Ep. 100 Theory)

So in the most recent episode of Minecraft Diaries it was reavealed (though not actually revealed since everyone knew this) that Aphmau is Irene. Though it gave conclusions, it also left new questions. I rewatched Ep. 100 today and realized: there is a huge plothole that COMPLETELY changes everything Hyria said. Which also begged the question: Is Hyria lying to Aphmau and the group?

So the theory goes like this: Hyria told the group that the longer Irene lived, the more she forgot how to love. She tells us that Irene wants to fix this, so she locks all her memories and herself away and tells her not to bring Irene back until she's really needed (or something like that, it was never clear enough). She was brought back and so the whole series happened.

But... This doesn't make sense. If Aphmau can't feel any love or emotion because she's Irene... Why does she feel so much love and emotion for everyone. She wouldn't feel any love. She wouldn't care about Laurance killing Fenrir or not. She wouldn't care about Garroth coming back. And most importantly: She make out with Aaron. She can't feel any love for him, he wouldn't want to make out with him.

As the actual theory goes: Hyria is lying. Aphmau isn't Irene. Aphmau is nothing but a mere descendant of her, explaining their likeness. Which explains why Irene's relic went to her. She has some of Irene's bloodline in her. This would make more sense! It would explain why Aphmau feels any emotion towards anything or anyone.

But then it begs the question... Why would Hyria lie? And I have a perfectly fine explanation.

Hyria IS Irene.

It. Makes. Sense.

First of all, Hyria has lived for thousands of years. Though never explained why, she must have some sort of power or relic that makes her not die of age and let her live for years on end. Well, what would be a better explanation, other than she's a goddess. We are told Irene has lived for tons of years, not told why though (actually we are, but the reason why is over complicated) but the obvious reason why is because she's a goddess. And Hyria is just a crusty dusty old witch. No reason for her to live for thousands of years. Unless there's a spell for that, which I highly doubt.

And the final point is... What is a character that seems oblivious to love? That abandonded her family? A character that doesn't look like she feels anything for anyone?

Hyria! AND THAT'S WHY SHE'S IRENE! IRENE CAN'T FEEL LOVE FOR ANYONE, AND FROM THE EVIDENCE, NEITHER CAN HYRIA! She left her daughter and husband to isolate herself in the forest, which just shows that she doesn't feel love for them. And as we're told by Hyria Irene can't feel love because of how much time she's been living, and as told by Hyria, Hyria has lived much longer than Irene! It would make sense! The evidence is there!

And why would Hyria lie to the group? Well because she doesn't want to be Irene anymore. She's tired of all the wars. And once she saw Aphmau had Irene's powers, she saw an opportunity to put it all on her.

Or that's my theory at least.

Thank you so much for reading this whole thing! Tell me if you agree with me. Honestly, I don't agree with it. Jess probably made a mistake, but you never know!
