#rambling spinning brainstorming making up random things without considering the logic

[chaos-has-theories]

Haven't been online much bc of school but I have been thinking abt this au with simon and marcia being in dn1 together So Often. Like Simon would've been right at the start of his spiral into the darke. He just made the decision to only think abt himself like. Today. He's angry at everyone but also specifically and especially marcia. And now he's trapped in the Hell Dungeon with her. And marcia had completely given up, thinking she'd failed and everyone she'd tried to save was doomed so there was no point in living. Except here is one of silas heap's sons. And he is alive and she can help keep him that way. So simon is her one and only reason for staying alive. And to simon this is So Weird. Why is she doing this. Doesnt she hate him (has forgotten that she literally doesn't know anything he's done and also that all the things he HAS done so far have been easily excusable at best and maybe a little concerning but not rlly his fault at worst. His worst ideas have only been thoughts.)

Ough ough it's so good

And ALSO at that point he probably still has enough bits left that completely idolized her and wanted to be her apprentice so badly

But she's entirely useless right now, except he's WORSE than useless, and in whatever ways whe might have betrayed him (none, but uuhh months with the Custodian), the Custodian and DD betrayed him worse.

Also I kmow Simon is going to have a terrible time in there but I can just imagine a point where the shades haven't gotten to him as much as Marcia yet and Marcia confesses that she has failed at everything she's ever done and that she has never been any good to anyone and Simon (history nerd, certified Big Brother and the Reasonable One of the family) goes are you kidding. Jenna wouldn't even be alive without you. DomDaniel would have had control of the castle for a decade. The Young Army and the Supreme Custodian and the Tattletales would be the LEAST of our worries. You took over as EOW at a ridiculously young age and there was no Queen and you were mostly locked into the tower and you still managed to keep the castle mostly floating along.

And then he just has a moment of oh. All of that is true. And I was going to betray her.

So she's still reeling from having been guven a compliment by a tiny Silas Heap while also being at her literal lowest point in life but oh no. Now tiny Silas Heap is having a panic attack.
