SO!!!

we all know marigold

we all love marigold

HOWEVER, i feel like we can all agree that marigold doesnt have the same luster and vibe as midas. midas has more of an international crime boss vibe (bc he is), while marigold just,, has a girlboss vibe. that isnt a problem, but i personally believe that it doesnt fit in the context of marigold being midas, just genderswapped/a snapshot

so! i propose

a redesign

this is what i have so far:

it's just a sketch so its not much, but! i have things in mind for when i actuslly draw her:

a slit down both sides of her skirt, and a less tight-fitting skirt. this is purely for mobility, as i feel like the tight skirt marigold originally wears is restricting

short hair! i feel like the short hair gives more of the crime boss vibe, and i feel like itd be easier to deal with. less caring for, cooler, and just overall not much of a problem

TATTOOS!!! the thing that makes midas, midas! without tattoos, midas wouldnt be midas. hed be marvin. so! i gave marigold the tattoos. however, i do have a problem: midas has an owl tattoo on his chest. more specifically, he has the owl's wings spread out tattooed on his breast. this is a problem, as very clearly, marigold has tits. i might just cut it out completeltly, but i rlly hope i can find a way around it

she. will. look. like. a. bad. bitch. bc that is what she is. the hoop earrings are gold, and i plan on giving her a fur collar/scarf

there is more, but i dont want this post to be too long. ill try to update this tho <3

(Halloween) Skin concept for Midas

[songs-abt-teeth]

I love this emote on him so much, I want it yesterday.

[songs-abt-teeth]

i love midas , but if hes the one who named the locations in season 12 he is . literally god awful at naming things. like i understand why theyre named the way they are from a gameplay standpoint, it makes sense bc then everyone knows "oh this area is connected to ghost/the agency/mr midas"

but like, from a realistic standpoint.........starting everything with "the" is a little interesting

the agency

the yacht

the grotto

the rig

u get my point

an AU my friend came up with that i just expanded on

but anyway, idk what prompted it, but one day my friend came up with this au revolving around jonesy and midas. this takes place during tje events of season 15 i believe, where all the loop stuff was going down and where jonesy betrayed slone. im trying to figure this part out, but basically jonesy gets thrown into the loop and gets spit out in a completely different dimension. he came fell into some random field. scared shitless and disoriented, he begins to wander the field in a slight panic. "shouldnt havr fucked with the loop," he thinks. "should NOT have gone against slone. should have stayed put. should have— oh look a city". in front of him in the distance was the start of a road, and down the flat road was a city. he begins to run down the road, hoping he was just spit out in some random field on the island. however, when he gets to the city, he finds that its actually a completely different city that hes never seen in his entire life. feeling defeated and alone, he hopelessly wanders the streets of the city, taking in the faces thay walked past. to his surprise, he actually reconized some of them. however, they were faces hes only seen; he couldnt put a name to any of these people. not wanting to embarrass himself, he stays quiet and continues to wander aimlessly.

in the middle of wandering and self-loathing, he sees a familiar face. a face that he could actually call by name; midas. "pls why him of all people," he says to himself. but seeing as midas might be his only way out, especiallt considering midas hops in and out of the loop so maybe ended up here now, he decides to approach the man. he goes up to midas and probablt says sometbing like "hey um ,,,, ur name is midas , right?" midas expression changes from shock to fucking anger. he grabs jones and drags him into an alleyway, pushes him onto the ground and plants his foot on his chest. he then points a gun at mr john jones and probably asks something along tje lines of "who are you and how do you know who i am??"

jonesy is all like "WOAHWOAHWOAH OK HANG OM DOTN SHOOT I CAN EXPLAIN" and then procreeds to explain why hes even here. midas, ofc, looks at him like hes crazy. "u ppl come up with the dumbest fucking excuses," he says. right before he pulls the trigger jonesy frantically explains firther in depth why he even knows midas. midas narrows his eyes at jonesy and slowly lowers his gun. "well," he begins. "i ,,, guess i kind of believe you. i have these weird fuckin dreams every night and they , oddly fit the exact thing you just described to me" jonesy being relieved yet still scared shitless asks something along yhe lines of "ok um.........now that we got that settled , whyyy did u point a gun at me exactly........."

midas just looks down at the man, and takes his foot off his chest, and puts the gun back into a secret little pocket (not before turning tje safety on bc yk , he isnt abt to shoot himself bc of a dumb fucking thing). he still doesnt respond but instead offers a hand to mr jones. jones takes the hand and dusts himself off

midas then says something like "come with me." jonesy stupidly complies and midas takes him to his car and begins to drive. whilst driving midas asks jones to continue talking abt the universe , so jonesy does.

"hm," midas says curtly after the long explantion. "interesting."

"mmmmhm, yep... yessir," jonesy replies, still scared for his fuckitn life. "so um......r u gonna....explain why u pointed a gun at me? and where exactly ur taking me?"

silence

"ur not gonna, yknow, kill me, are u?"

"mmm... havent decided yet."

"oh thats ,,,,,, reassuring"

silence

until midas speaks up again. "i probably shouldnt be telling you this," he begins. "but you seem crazy enough to not say anything to anyone about it. the reason i pointed a gun at you is because midas is not my name, at least to the public. to the public, my name is richard, or rich... honestly, whichever you prefer as long as you dont call me dick-"

"snrrk," jonesy laughs

"u shouldnt be laughing. especiallt when u know i have a loaded gun with me"

"oh uh right , my bad"

"mhm, anyway. midas is... a codename, if you will. what i do is risky, and even more risky to tell others about"

"do u like work for the government or somethinf? like a spy?"

"no, not at all. if anything, the government would kill me on the spot if they found out what i did"

"oh thats nice"

"really is"

"so uh

what-

what do u do

exactly?"

"...i own a hitman agency," he explains. "specifically, the biggest one in the state"

"o,,,oh." what the fuck is a state

"so you can understand why i freaked out"

"yeah i can ,,, i can understand that"

"and i figured that, with both of us having jobs thay nobody can find out about, i could trust you. at least somewhat. we both know life-threatening things abt eachother, so i figured neither of us would fuck with thay"

"yeah ,,,,,,,, thats , thats fair

so um have u ,, decided whether you wanted to kill me or not?"

"hm... im thinking the latter, but it depends on how the rest of the car ride goes"

"where are you even taking me?"

"dunno," midas smiles

"are you serious."

"dead serious. i planned on telling you about why i threatened to kill you, bit its not exactly something i can openly admit to in public. we needed to be somewhere private. if im being honest, ill probably drop you off where i found you

say, whats your name, anyway? you might as well tell me since i told you mine," midas/richard says, giving jones a sideways glance

"oh uh john," he replies. "john jones"

hate to disappoint, but this is all i have planned so far for the au. i have basic ideas planned, but its not enough to tell the full story. however, thanks to my adhd fortnite and this au is all i can think about most of the time, so ill probably update this au frequently and make more posts about it lol

[songs-abt-teeth]

so true

no thoughts only midas

[songs-abt-teeth]

i feel like midas rex's suit/armor is like

detachable

like ur able to make it come off with a press of a button or two (not really but yk)

"but jones, that doesnt make much sense! he wouldnt have a body!"

to that i say: he does. he has a "body" made just like his old one, except madr completely of black metal. if we're going with the theory that midas did, indeed, die in the shark attack, then i imagine his original body would be all fucked. jules probably recovered his body and basically, to put it nicely, took it apart and used the dismembered limbs and torso to literally rebuild her father. after giving him a body, she built him the armor

rex's body itself isnt all that strong, and can in fact be dented easily. its a little more durable than a human body, but not as strong as regular metal.

i imagine theres also panels on his body where, in case somethint goes wrong, jules can easily disable/turn off rex and hopefully fix whatevers broken by popping open the panels

bonus: midas rex probably runs off of batteries, too

and he has this big ass cable he uses to charge himself (theres a slot in his upper back where the charger goes in). when hes charging, he goes into a "sleep mode", where its basically just him ,, asleep. however, when he runs out of battery/charge, he also enters this "sleep mode", except he only exits it when hes at least 75% charged. he like, completely collapses, beeping.

"god damn it dad i literally told you to charge urself before we left, did i not."
