the entire reason i make project meridian art with a focus on marcus is because I think it'd be interesting if he's less timid and ashamed about being into machines and kinda embraces it as he loses his mind in the indulgence of doing fucked up things. Like hes into machines not because he can't find any human to be his partner- it's bc no human partner can live up to his own creations and the marvels hes worked on. He's into asset by choice and not circumstance.
Like idk, if he's gonna do what he did might as well go visceral and have him actually enjoy his job a bit too much-hands and knees deep fixing the asset and oil grease staining his clothes-and be obsessed with the beauty of the mechanical vs his fleshy, feeling self.
I definitely would love to see a version of him where he brought up the constant monitoring and breach of privacy done by the company- of course anyone would go crazy!- in his confrontation with james.
One day Erik’s gonna quit and it’s gonna be bc nobody in that fucking patreon can remember Erik is ONE PERSON trying to deal with an entire channel where he does the writing, voicing, and editing! He posts twice a week, which is already way more than other youtubers, yet people just want more out of a guy thats still working a damn 9-5 to keep his income stable what the actual FUCK guys
Whenever I see seer!Pandora headcanons the only thing that I can think of is the fact that Sybil Trelawney is RIGHT THERE. She has good lore too !!! She was a seer who wasn't taken seriously but whose visions held truth.
One of my fav ships for her is actually with Peter, especially if it includes her getting a vision about his betrayal. THE ANGST POTENTIAL PEOPLE !!!
Yet I barely see her getting utilized in fanfic !! Justice for my girl !!!
