Me and @froggythesculptor (plus another person on the server but I don’t think they have a Tumblr) just had a SCRUMPTIOUS session of brainstorming for the “Losing Marbles” finale!! I CANNOT WAIT to bring all this pain and angst to life then drink your tears :)
I have to finish ch6 first tho… I mean ch6 is really yummy stuff too but my brain has latched into ch7 HHHHHHHHH
Hey my dude! How ya doing? Good? Wanna hear about another stupid idea I have? Probably not but here go!
Amphibia AU where everything's the same except Marcy is just. Dangerous, like she looks like she could snap you in half (and would do it). And Child!Sasha and Anne saw the girl sitting on her own, reading a book and only looking up to death glare others. And just, adopted her.
Cjjsbdjfjsj scary Marcy gives me LIFE
Ok so I know I said I was gonna focus on “Of Many Minds” for now but I wrote some “Losing Marbles” cuz I suddenly got motivation for it XD. I’m at 682 words for ch 2 and I’m probably a little over halfway done with it (but hopefully the second half will go faster than the first lmao)
Marcy just finished sparring with a frobot hehe
I can not and will not stop with the worms
“Amusing. You wish to squirm?”
*hands you a pathetic ball of evil* take good care of them

Hi! I wrote a snippet for that Future AU!
Dr.Wu walked through her lab, as her thirteen year old self followed behind her. The younger Marcy chuckled as she looked around.
"Woah-ho-ho! This place is huge!" She exclaimed as she walked into another room, looking at a large machine."I know right? I had to clean out half of the basement just to build this."
Future Marcy's stoic expression cracked into a smile that showed a bit to much of her teeth and gums, yet her eye remained unreadable as she stepped in front of a machine that looked like a pickle jar hooked up a computer.
"What is this?"The teenaged Marcy asked, looking closer at the strange machine."This," the older woman replied, turning back to face the young girl with a slight glint in her eyes. "Is where our next body is being put together."
She watched the younger girl's eyes widen as if it was something completely insane."O-our next body?" The younger girl stammered.
"Yes, We are going to outlive them all.. all of humanity. We will be eternal." Dr.Wu flipped up her eyepatch, revealing a blood red eye that seemed more than a little sinister and excited for the idea.Her younger self swallowed nervously before asking,
"Will there be anything left when we're done? Or-"
"Of course." The older woman interrupted quickly, taking a step forward and making Marcy flinch back slightly. "Once all of mankind falls, then they'll all be ours. Our legacy."
Yessss slay Darcy slayyyyy *evil snickering*
I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT THIS WAY now I’m even more upset about what they did with s3 Marcy g r r r r
I mean I sorta saw it that it way but I didn’t quite connect that she was brought down to the role of a lazy plot device…. Thanks for this insight tho!! Now I can be salty with more efficiency :D
Cuz she’d be far too busy slaying to be a damsel in distress XD (unless you count pretending once tho 👀)
[ Warning: I start rambling my AU a bit here oops… Don’t have the heart to delete or shorten it tho lmaooo ]
But I must say: I LOVED Darcy!! The possession was a really good concept imo, just not executed well… Like give her some control and let The Core act as a kinda sidekick (even tho it’d just be using her, could take over at any time, and would probably betray her in a heartbeat…. just don’t let Marcy know that djdhsnfdjhsnd) as it convinced her to go APESHIT-
I just came to a horrible realization. Marcy in season three was a Damsel in Distress.
Seriously think about it: aside from the finale, her only purpose was to sit around and wait to be rescued. Yes it would have been necessary to a certain extent no matter what, with the whole "being stabbed" business, but then they had to go ahead with that idiotic possession subplot and make Darcy an endgame villain. Marcy's brief mental world subplot in All In didn't even give us one of those "fighting the illusion from inside your mind" plots: she just resigned herself to her fate and hoped her girls would save her.
There's a very good reason the Damsel in Distress has fallen out of favor in recent years. Aside from the underlying chauvinism, a Damsel in Distress usually isn't a character so much as a lazy plot device, a prize for the hero to win after they've slain the dragon or killed the evil wizard or whatever.
The only thing worse than creating a character whose sole purpose is to be a Damsel in Distress is making an established character into a Damsel in Distress. And they did it to Marcy: a deep, complex character who was used amazingly in season two. They introduced Marcy as a deliberate foil to Sasha, gave us several episodes to get to know and love her, then dropped that massive bombshell in True Colors.
And how did they follow up that absolutely brilliant storytelling? They made Marcy into a fucking Damsel in Distress, whose only purpose for 90% of season three was to sit around and wait to be rescued. And for some goddamn reason they had to wait until the penultimate episode to do so, leaving no time for Marcy to interact with her best friends or truly be involved in the story.
I've been waiting years for this (can't even remember the first time I saw the post), but...
