as a chronic age gap ship enjoyer, i have to say, it’s kinda disappointing how little MarcoAce shippers engage with their age difference. Marco is 25 years older! He was a pirate before Ace was even born! He’s already in his 40s when he meets a teen Ace! And yet it’s so rare to see anyone engage with that, and even when they do, it’s so often just a throw away “I’m old” kinda line and is never given any weight or thought. It’s just so bizarre to me, cause other age gap ships I’ve liked that had a smaller gap than this (more like 10 yrs) engage a lot more with the age difference, but MarcoAce just… doesn’t. It’s so odd to me lol, and kinda a bummer cause i find half the fun of age gap ships is engaging with that age difference and the conflict it can cause (as well as the kinky aspects).
