Just so you know if I had any idea how to animate I would absolutely make the silliest, most cheesey, cutesy, bubbly, colorful animation of Prison Mechs x Lyf to Doctor by Jack Stauber.
Tumblr media
Lyf (who is post TBI and so so so pretty and has big sad eyes and is 'sick' bc the bifrost ('sick' as in traumatized and needs love and care an grounding!!)) (also "i need a doctor" Lyf totally does the classic faint on couch/into somebody's arms thingy with the back of their hand to their forehead) getting Marius's official totally a real doctor diagnosis for Love. Marius prescribes a minimum of one little smooch on the cheek from each of the three of them daily ("take three of these a day").
"Cool, are you alright on your own?" You don't have to stay with us if you don't want to.
"No I'm not sure." I'm not sure. I've no where to go and I think I like it here.
"Okay." You're always welcome with us.

will try.
but, you said that you and your sibling were lied to, and that the Void is alive. will you tell us more?
...the Void, asked for our help. and you, and all of this...
...
can you tell us anything?
the void is alive. and it... isn't.
gods don't work like your kind does.

rambling more about this on here but. 
eligos is half human, so he is more in tune with compassion and empathy, and humanity. eligos having lost everything in his life asides from raum and stolas, he clung to this newfound human friendship, an orphan boy. just like him.

Incomplete collection of Marius lore
suggestions for additions are welcome, but it MUST HAVE A SOURCE
overview 
He is the ship’s medic[1]/ship’s doctor[3], plays fiddle and has a mechanised right arm[1].
The ace of hearts card in his hat indicates he is asexual [18].
'He likes love, and love songs, and people in love' [18].
His own romantic inclination is unknown [18].
He knows some German words, but is not fluent [19].
backstory 
He is neither a baron nor a doctor[3][5]; ‘Baron’ is a corruption of his original name, Byron von Raum[2][5].
Marius has a sister called Dorothea, and they were raised by a single nonbinary parent. Marius doesn’t remember their name or face, and knows them only as Zeze[6].
It is strongly implied that Marius was not mechanised by Dr Carmilla [7].
Marius is 5’5 and very skinny. This is apparently because he came from a world that is ‘somewhat medieval in its nutrition levels’ and Marius was not a healthy child. [14]
He piloted a mecha called KISMET. She was 5-6 storeys tall and slightly insectoid, like a dragonfly or butterfly. [17]
‘The control pod’s entirely in the head, which allows the internal control rig to right itself like a ball bearing, keeping the pilot upright whether she’s standing on the ground, hovering, flying horizontally, banking sharply or even rolling.’ [17]
The mecha is not meelee-oriented. [17]
time with the mechanisms 
Drumbot Brian said that ‘given that we're immortal and don't need a doctor, it's the job we're most comfortable giving Marius, and it keeps him busy’ and also that he ‘frequently tries to psychoanalyze inanimate objects’ [5]
His mechanism was ‘probably botched’ and he has a ‘tenuous grasp on reality’[2] 
According to Jonny, he grew a beard presumably around 08/02/2014 ‘almost instantaneously, and without warning’ and was apparently ‘very upset’ and ‘said he’d been holding it in for decades and just that momentary lapse of concentration as I kneecapped him had ruined all his hard work’[8]
He once dressed up as the Toy Soldier for a halloween concert [9]
Drumbot Brian once responded to someone asking how the mechanisms were by describing marius as ‘mad’[10]
The Aurora describes Marius as ‘the broken doctor’ [16]
songs/albums
He had a planned lecture on the psyche of the olympians, but this was cancelled[11]
He helped Ashes install at a minimum the camera in Ulysses’ vault in UDAD, though he does not remember this[4]
Apparently, ‘Marius spent his time on Fort Galfridian sitting at the porthole for days staring into the sun because he didn't realise it was supposed to be unbearable, and now the Ghouls think he's some sort of prophet’ [12]
In The Bifrost Incident, Marius does not know where he got the violin - in fact, he doesn’t even realise he’s holding it until Lyf points it out [15]
death
Marius was always skeptical of the crew’s immortality and was less surprised to meet his end. ‘One day, at something of a loose end, he will decide to check on the octokittens. Unfortunately, the purring horde has not been fed in many decades, and devours him, head to toe, in 11.7 seconds.’ [13]
Jonny is implied to have already witnessed Marius’ death before the final concert; he says ‘11.7 seconds. At least, by my watch.’ [13]
In Marius’ death, tunes from ‘Blood and Whiskey’ and ‘Favoured Son’ can be heard [13].

To do:
not yet added Marius’ dttm dialogue
may add more detail to what is contained in expert testimony
could probably add detail on things seen doing in photos, e.g. Marius playing rock paper scissors with TS. (are photoshoots canon? I assume so)
[3] missing a link
wow did I really miss pilchard. I will Get To It at some point maybe
fungus arm https://www.tumblr.com/neitherabaron/712149115253948416/
perhaps more backstory info from byron
https://x.com/neitherabaron/status/1231124594544783361?s=20
https://x.com/neitherabaron/status/1231604579529302018?s=20
numbers are ordered mostly in when I added the source rather than order of appearance as I have moved things around a lot. as above this is very incomplete and I don’t have the willpower to update this now maybe I will later. I’m just uploading it now since someone wanted marius lore

You said Argel Tal deserved what Erebus did to him, why do you think that?
He was a nice character, but after Cyrene died he became quite weak honestly.
The fact that he knew Erebus was planning something, he knew his life was at risk, yet I remember the conversation went basically like this:
Erebus: You know.. I could resurrect he-
Argel Tal: Do it.
Erebus: You didn't let me finish, I said I could resurrect her but-
Argel Tal: DO IT.
Raum: *screaming in the void because bro is not even listening to him*
Better dead than that pathetic.
Plus, Erebus said that that question was a sort of test to see if he would had to kill him or not. He failed the test. (I agree if you think we can't trust his words - but still, it's worth noticing it)

And here, looking far too content for an immortal space pirate, is Doctor Baron Marius Von Raum.
This was supposed to be a practice for my linework. I was planning to have this done in like an hour. This took over seven hours.

*Jericho is stuck where he is for a long moment, the thought of the crooked queen using Virgil- using Raum- using him against his friends sending true terror through the scarecrow as he sits next to his sleeping lover*
*Eventually the fear strikes him into a plan of action. It's not a very detailed one- just get as far away from here as possible. He quickly gets up and starts throwing what little he has in his bindle.*
*in his feverency, he almost definitely wakes @sirmariusrenathyr*

SE Staffel 27 - alles was mich am Writing der Stories genervt hat
(eine unvollständige Liste)
Angefangene/angeteaserte Plotlines, die nicht zu Ende geführt wurden:
- Annikas Selbstfindung
- Zech Streit (hoffe den beiden geht es gut 🥲)
- Freddy???
- Tahmi ist nur auf Probe auf dem Einstein (sind ihr Noten jetzt gut genug? Idk 🤷)
- Noah hat Colin komplett ausgeraubt
- Freundschaft von Reena und Mikka einfach nicht mehr relevant (Beziehung von Reena und Gustav aber auch nicht)
- Maxi in Joels und Noahs Zimmer wtf?!
Plotlines die beendet aber nicht vorher entwickelt wurden:
- Nolin Versöhnung (WIE HABEN DIE WIEDER ANGEFANGEN ZU SCHREIBEN I NEED TO KNOW KIKA!!!)
- Annika geht nach Norwegen (hätte man das nicht mit ihrer Selbstfindung verknüpfen können? War das der Plan und sie haben es unterwegs vergessen?)
- Reena geht nach London(?)
- Herr Berger hat den Sharespace gerettet
- Joel reitet mit Noah und Colin in den queeren Sonnenuntergang verlässt das Einstein
Stories, die zu viel Raum eingenommen haben:
- SchatzsucheFWDSJQLQANDHWKWSL😡
- der Sharespace wird geschlossen oder nicht oder doch oder doch nicht
Vertane Chancen:
- Herr Berger besteht auf die Fahrradtour mit Simon und Lilli (I WANT TO SEE IT!!!)
- woher kommt die Hockenbrink Geschwisterdynamik? Please tell me more!
- mehr Szenen mit Noah und Karl 🥹 (können Nolin ihn bitte auch noch adoptieren?)
- ADHS bei Thami thematisieren
- Mikka???
Ich hab trotzdem das Gefühl, dass das bei früheren Staffeln schon schlimmer war. Im Grunde fand ich diese hier ganz solide, auch wenn ich an manchen Stellen echt nicht verstehen kann, warum man keinen Wert auf Kontinuität und Realismus legt. Bringt Stories zu Ende, die ihr anfangt, gebt den Leuten einen vernünftigen Ausstieg und kümmert euch um eine Spannweite an Themen, anstatt einzelne Plots bis zum Erbrechen breitzutreten. Kann doch nicht soooo schwer sein? 🤨

BTS WEDDING SERIES: Countdown Begins!
SEOKJIN
Tumblr media
Three days. 
That’s all that was left until the day of your wedding and family had started to arrive on Jeju Island, including the boys and your bridal party. Everyone was descending on Jeju like a tidal wave and already locals were starting to see an increase in traffic though they weren’t entirely sure what was going on. The hotel where you would have your ceremony and reception had already started to get things prepped including privacy screens, putting guards on the perimeter to ward off anyone with a camera and other hotels had been warned of what was coming. 
It was dealing with things like military clockwork, which Seokjin had plenty of experience with and was making sure he knew who was coming, how, why and when. 
His parents and your parents had flown over together and had been picked up by Seokjin a the airport, already bombarding him with questions. 
“Emomma, we’re fine. She’s fine, everything is under control. The hotel are doing an amazing job of getting everyone sorted,” Seokjin comforted his mother in the passenger seat with his Dad in the back including his future in-laws.
“The boys are literally on their way now as well and the rest of the bridal party are on the way, and obviously hyung and the babies and Suni are coming tomorrow. Bit of a squeeze but it’s fine, it’s all stuff we’ve prepped for. Anything that can go wrong, we’ve prepped for so I’m not worried,” Seokjin added as he drove the car past the security guards and round where the wedding would take place. 
“It’s looking beautiful already,” your mother commented as they got out the car, seeing the staff lining up the chairs in the garden for your aisle and already the florists were hard at work, prepping some of the bigger pieces of decor such as the arch.
“It’s going to be amazing,” your groom grinned, taking his mother in-laws hand then his mother’s and leading them to where you were finishing the last minute bits.
YOONGI
Tumblr media
It had been the plan all along to get married in a simple ceremony with your parents, Yoongi’s brother, Yoongi’s parents and the rest of BTS. You had arranged for the formal Korean ceremony to take place at the Raum with the reception afterwards, allowing you to invite who you needed to and who Yoongi needed to. But for the actual legal ceremony, you both agreed it should be just the two of you. 
You didn’t need the world to see this part where you and Yoongi said your vows, signed the legal piece of documentation and put your rings on. In the end, it was the most important part of your whole wedding week.
Two days before your formal wedding would take place, you were in front of the registrar signing the marriage certificate that declared you and Yoongi husband and wife. 
“Well, that’s the easy part done,” Yoongi laughed as he glanced at the silver wedding band now on his finger while you had a gold wedding band on yours. 
“Party time soon,” you gently nudged his hip as your families joined you outside to take photos. After all, it had been agreed that this part would be intimate, private and just everyone you loved. 
“It’s a pity the Korean wedding ceremony wasn’t as quick as that,” he mused as he tightened his hand around yours. “That would be a waste of money,” you advised as you adjusted your free hand around the small bouquet of flowers, wearing a simple white dress that wouldn’t overshadow your actual wedding dress. 
“True, I did spend a lot of time on those whiskey bottles.”
HOSEOK
Tumblr media
Three days to go. That’s what he had to keep reminding himself. Three days to go. 
Hobi had his own little checklist going on for the day as he collected the suits, and delivered items to the venue that would be needed including the 275 friendship bracelets that had taken two days to do even with the boys roped in. 
His parents were arriving in Seoul in two hours with his sister going to pick them up to bring them to the hotel, your parents were also bringing items from home to the hotel to drop off and the boys were finishing up their schedules so they would be clear. 
Rehearsal was going to take place that night and he had caught sight of the room being cleared, seeing the florist and wedding organiser ordering staff to move things around and clear things away. Hotel security had been topped up too and he had stopped on more than one occasion, just double checking as to where he was going. 
Hobi snapped a quick picture of the room in its blank state and sent to you with the words ‘Countdown begins!’
‘My nails are nearly done and I’ll be with you all.’
The picture he got back made him grin - he had sent you with your bridal party to a spa so you could relax, get your facials, pedicure and the like and your best friend had taken a photo of you being glammed up and dotted on by everyone there. 
It was literally countdown and he felt no nerves. He was going to marry his best friend, his number one supporter in everything and the one who he couldn’t imagine living with out. 
Tucking his phone into his pocket, Hobi made his way back to the car as he hummed Bruno Mars’ ‘Marry You’ on the way. 
NAMJOON
Tumblr media
He accepted the box from his mother, ignoring the weary look he got and turned to make the long walk to the garden. The wedding was only three days away and already things were in high gear. The family were coming out of town, and he already knew the important individuals such as celebrities and politicians had arrived in Seoul and were at the hotel, HYBE were in full protective mode as guards stood on the perimeter and even Hitman Bang had landed by private jet and was on the way to the hotel to check-in. 
He could hear the boys in the background, pointing out the view from the garden as he carried the box to the small house where you and your maid of honour where separating things to what needed to go to the bridal room or what needed to stay here for the decor. 
Organised chaos you had told him. 
“Happy?” Namjoon asked, setting the box down next to you. 
“Everything is going to plan. You ready for the rehearsal later?” you asked, smiling up at your groom-to-be as he crouched down to open the box. 
“I am. The boys are more than ready from the sounds of it and yes, Hoseok has the rings. He’s checked, double and triple checked.”
You grinned at the answer to the question that was on the tip of your tongue.  
“I’ve got the rings, I promise!” You heard Hobi yell at the bottom of the garden. “JK! Don’t even come near me.”
JIMIN
Tumblr media
It was an hour's drive to get to Incheon airport, where your hotel was just a couple of minutes away from. So Jimin had borrowed or bribed, depending on who you listened to, a couple of HYBE’s big cars and loaded the two everything you needed - dress, suits, decor, favours, bridesmaid dresses, and the like. You took one car and he took the other, heading over to the hotel like a convoy. 
Jimin’s parents, brother and family were flying in from Busan and would be arriving in an hour. The rest of the boys would be joining you tomorrow as was the rest of your bridal party. Four days to go but there was so much to do. 
Rehearsal was going to take place tomorrow evening and the hotel had already begun to prep the room with your florist due to arrive tomorrow morning to start work. It was exciting to see your year of planning coming into full swing with everything. 
A private entrance had been arranged for you two to back the cars and start bringing boxes and other bits into the room. “It looks so different,” you commented as you joined Jimin with your own set of boxes, watching as the staff set up the partition with other members of staff rolling tables in. 
“Just think, we’ll be husband and wife by the weekend,” Jimin grinned as he put his box down to wrap his arms around your waist, resting his chin on top of your shoulder. 
“Hmm, then honeymoon. I can’t wait for that. It’s like a reward for all this planning.”
“A reward? Is marrying me not enough?”
TAEHYUNG
Tumblr media
While it may have seemed silly to everyone to arrive in Los Angeles three weeks early, you were glad you did that for the little hick ups that happened. Some guests had pulled out which meant a slight rejig of the table, guests were starting to fly in so Taehyung had to pull out V and greet everyone like a member of BTS. The boys had arrived a week before the wedding, bringing what they needed. 
Now it was three days to the wedding and nerves were starting to set in. You weren’t nervous about marrying Tae, you could go down to the town hall and do it there and then but it was the people who were coming, it was all eyes on you. You wondered if you had planned enough, thought enough, if everything was going to be what you wanted. 
“I can hear you thinking from all the way out here,” Tae commented as he joined you from where you stood, watching the hotel staff turn a blank room into your reception room with another team working on the room down the hallway to transform it into your ceremony room. It was all systems go with plenty of time, yet it felt like there wasn’t.
“I don’t know, I guess I’m just nervous. Not about marrying you but the day itself. All those eyes on us,” you shrugged as you leaned against your future husband. Celebrities, fashion designers, politicians. It wasn’t just going to be your families, it was going to be all the people who had befriended Taehyung over the years. 
“I know but in the end, it’s just you and me,” he said as he took hold of your hand and gave it a good squeeze. “And that’s all that matters at the end of the day. You and me.” 
“And the red roses everywhere.”
JUNGKOOK
Tumblr media
“Three days,” he said to you that morning when you opened your eyes to look at the time. 
“Nervous?” you asked as you rolled over to face him. 
“Not nervous. Excited…maybe a little nervous about relying on other people to do a good job but excited for you and me.”
“Everything will be fine - nearly everyone is here anyway and we’ve got rehearsal to do today and a few other bits and then we’ll be done,” you grinned. “Then it will be D-Day and we can finally relax and just get married and then think about our honeymoon.”
Whoever said you could relax in the final days was a liar as you watched the florist secure the beginnings of your wedding decor thanks to the breeze that had arrived that morning. The weather was due to be lovely Busan sun but this light breeze was making you worry a little. 
“You need a haircut,” you heard Seokjin yell from inside the reception room and you hid a grin, hearing Yoongi chastise his younger brother who had obviously darted away from his grasp and run outside. 
“You’d think they were my fathers,” Jungkook muttered as he stood next to you, watching the florist and staff at work. 
“Well they are in a way, but you do need a haircut. I like it when your forehead is exposed.”

The main reason that Raum frequently employs a driver is that he’s kind of a speed demon. Honestly, he drives like a maniac with utter confidence. However, he hates navigating the traffic jams of a crowded city, and he already has too many strikes against his license to risk losing it for good. His driver’s name is Anton — a very patient, discreet and long-suffering man that Raum has known for quite a few years.
Beyond all that though, he does actually like the process of driving! If he has to travel outside the city, especially on a vacation, he will rather drive himself. He finds a sense of freedom in that.
One of the ways he will get his particular fix for speeds is visiting some race tracks a few times a year, such as the Nürburgring, Silverstone, etc. Some of those places are open to the public, and some of those he’s only able to access rarely through corporate events.
It’s quite common for his peers to arrange certain meetings at a club, where they would do an activity with a bit of competition. It might be some kind of gambling, game, or a sport — golf for example, which he loathes. Honestly it’s partly a way to get out of sitting in offices all day, and partly an ego-swinging match. It’s kind of a mental game.
As a bit of revenge for those days he finds utterly boring, if it’s him doing the arranging, Raum would purposely plan his own to be at a trackside club. He’ll go ham around that ring with his competitor or business partner, probably scare the shit out of them with his driving, and then bring his good mood into whatever negotiation he needs to accomplish afterwards!
