I wondered what to draw for the Marcnath 2023 zine and decided to do a classic Vocaloid meme.

My piece for the Marcnath Zine 2023!

Took inspiration from the song Serendipity by Jimin (BTS) and crated a completely new Au from scratch in which they resemble flowers

Nath is a Red Cosmos

The cosmos in general symbolize order and harmony, beauty, self-reliance, resilience, kindness. The red ones symbolize romantic love, passion, primal energy, and, because cosmos are symbol of eternity, romantic commitment and everlasting love, making it the symbol of the infinite nature of soulmates.

In this au he's not considered much (just like in the show >.>) mostly because he's a common flower and because of him having only one eye, so he goes on a jurney to find the legendary White Rose

Marc is a White Rose

White roses symbolize purity, youthfulness, innocence, young love, eternal loyalty and new beginnings.

In this au he's basically a deity since he was the first flower to be created in the universe, so I decided to make him a white rose to reference the Rosa dei Beati from Divina Commedia by Dante.

Originally I wanted to make a comic for the Zine but then I thought "Yeah I can't make this, it needs to much explanation on why this happened and even if I eliminated the last page it would have felt incomplete to me" so I went for plan B

Here's the sketch comic (might one day actually complete it)

I returned to bring you my part for MarcNath Zine 2023

I was going to add my LB!Marc and CN!Nathaniel, but I discarded it

And 2022 SpaceGirl wasn't kidding that drawing Rooster Bold would be THAT hard

Like, honey your outfit is gorgeous but SO detailed :'v

We had a poll on the NathMarc Multiverse server over choosing the title of our zine.

Turns out the half-silly option of Give Us Our Fucking Gay Rep had the second most amount of votes. Iconic, honestly.

But the official name of the 2023 Marcnath zine is Meeting in the Middle! Thanks for everyone that voted!
