HUGS

GODD YES THEM JUST, GOING FROM FIGHTING TO TRYING TO SQUEEZE THE LIFE OUT OF EACH OTHER (THEY ARE NOT HUGGING, NO, WDYM)

THEM CHILLING IN SPACE TOGETHER.... I MEAN THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY 2 BEINGS ON EARTH THAT CAN SURVIVE BEING IN SPACE SO WHY NOT??

something i have always loved is the idea of a hero, or just a superpowered person, chilling in a way that would be weird to others. flash running around town, spider-man reading upside down, invincible floating around in boredom, you name it

the idea of mark (it doesn't even have to be in this au, just in general) being so not human but still so human is beautiful to me

i have a hc that viltrumites like flying and floating better than walking (it's like nature to them. walking is what crawling would be to us: we can do it, but it's not exactly comfortable), and so nolan and mark would always be flying around at home

mark could ask his dad about what being a viltrumite is like. so, when he got his powers, he finally got to experience it. and every single thing that happened, the things that made him realize that he's not actually a biological human (sharper teeth, maybe. liking the feeling of boiling water on his skin. struggling to act like he's in pain when he's punched, and then finding it almost impossible to not break someone's jaw when defending himself), he could share with his dad

but now his dad is gone. his new brother doesn't have his powers yet. his mom is a normal human. even the heroes that can fly wouldn't understand it, because they're still not viltrumites

it makes him feel a little lonely. he hates what the viltrumites do and what they represent, but life would be sm easier if he could just. share his worries with someone else that's like him

enter wasp.

he does not "share his worries" w him. at all. fuck no

but still-- having someone who acts just like him, in the more alien-like ways, reminds him that he's not the only one

this. isn't really a good thing

basically wasp is a living reminder that the viltrumite empire is out there, which means mark cannot slack off because the moment they arrive they will fucking decimate earth

most importantly, he's a reminder of what mark himself is; of what he could (or will) become

"No one has a broken nose. It's mystifying" ASHDHASD everyone being both super surprised when they hate each other that much, then being even more surprised when they actually work w each other without any murder attempts

CAIN INSINCT BUT TAKEN TO THE EXTREME... i have 2 siblings so i know very well what the cain insinct is like, and it being dialed up to 100 is insane

yk when you ruffle your sibling's hair? that but its them trying to pull each other's hair out

softly smacking your sibling's head when they say something stupid?? it's like they're trying to rip each other's heads off. jesus. what was that cracking noise??

or when you kick your sibling. they try to break each other's bones regularly (wasp usually starts it. hey, he's basically a prisoner. the least he can do is try to take some of them out before he gets out! [or so he says])

imagine they're fighting a villain together. they usually do the "i kick him to you then you punch him in the face and send him flying" thing, but sometimes, when wasp is feeling silly, he'll be the Older Sibling TM and refuse to give the villain to mark

it's like two dogs fighting for a chew toy. mark gets the villain off wasp's hands but wasp immediatly tackles him to get him back. most crime doers now refuse to fight those two when they're together bc of the amount of nausea they feel afterwards

RUDY WANTING TO STUDY THEM ASHFDSHAJH

rudy is the type of person to scientifically study his friends without their consent to figure out what the fuck is wrong with them

wasp Does Not Like That. mark doesn't either but he's not as murderous as that other idiot (wasp begs to differ. "have you seen what he did to angstrom? he has it in him. i just have to bring it out") ("he said that? he stopped mid-fight to pet a puppy the other day") ("i would have killed it. i was about to, but this asshole interrupted me") (they are in the same room when this conversation happens theyre just ignoring each other)

comic con!!

they were raised VERY differently so yeah, them disagreeing on smth that reflects their own personal character arcs fits so well

the only reason they refuse to fight right then and there is because they don't want to be banned from going to comic cons. that is the only reason. the literal only reason

also i could imagine that since wasp is Like That, at some point he has to drop comics because hey, destroying earth means to comic books. so seeing how far the comics he likes from his own dimension are getting in this other asshole's dimension is an Experience

(he so wants to take over this world)

"Why consider your emotions when you can fall back on the one thing you're incredible at? Violence!"

this. reminds me of mark too

mark ignores everything and goes out to punch stuff and beat villains to clear his mind. wasp just straight up murders people. the thing that differentiates them is why they're doing it, to who, and to what extents

"I can totally see Wasp snapping at Mark and telling them to get a rise out of Mark."

oh but this would so be the way they find out about that

wasp is angry as fuck 24/7 (can't blame him but also dude, chill out) and this one particular day he's even angrier than usual, so he just randomly decides that the best way to rui mark's life is to tell everyone the truth (smth that has literally ruined mark's life once, see episode 8 of season 1)

and wasp knows that the thing mark fears most is turning out like his father, so why not tell his friends that he's destined to be a megalomaniac murderer in almost every universe??

they do love mark, but some of them are. a little freaked out

he doesn't even tell his friends, he tells everyone. it's on TV. people are debating whether it's true or if he's jst fucking w them (he does that a lot)

half the internet thinks he's lying because he always lies, but the other half is sure he's not because he never looks this angry and earnest and mad (in the crazyness way) when he does

mark finds out and throttles him but wasp is laughing like a goddamn maniac. mark doesn't kill him (he never could) because of how familiar that face is

then the whole "we're the same person" thing strikes again

"He hates Wasp does have more training."

this

they're the same, they have the same strength and speed and durability. they're both smart, both cocky, they both smile a lot and make fun of the enemy they're going against, they have similar strategies bc of their similar powers

but wasp has sm more experience

it angers wasp too, because this asshole, who has literally no experience at all, can actually keep up with him. it's the worst. he hates it so much

ALSO i just had an idea. yk thos fanfics where 2 characters are stuck together bc of magic? like forced to hold hands or smth? imagine that w them. imagine the disaster that would be

when they finally stop biting each other they start thinking about how to fix this

add them being stuck in a cave together (there are other people inside there. the exits were blocked. it's unstable, so if they drill they way out, they will kill everyone inside. wasp doesn't care, but mark really fucking does, and he's technically the one in charge sooo)

the poor civillains that are now stuck with them...

wasp n mark r used to fight separately. mark tends to handle the more "saving ppl" aspect of the battles, while wasp handles the bloodshed. then this random villain binds them together w some sort of magic spell, and they are so thrown off their game

they try to go separate ways all the time, which results in then falling and crashing and destroying buildings instead of, yk, winning. mark tries to go save the family that just had a car dropped on them, wasp tries to attack the villain

they both fail. they fall on their asses

its so embarrassing

turn this into a bonding experience where they learn to take advantadge of the fact that they are the same person. once they have the same goal (ex: getting out of the cave, defeating the villain once there are no civillains in danger [which would definitely throw them off again, bc mark would try to help them again and wasp would fight him, making them crash again], finding a way to free themselves from the other, etc), they kick ass. it's just... kinda hard for them to want the same thing

if i write a fic w these two it's gonna be about this. it's just so funny

ALSO THAT ART OP??? AJFHSJADKFHDSJKFHASJKDFHDSJK SO GOOD. SOOOOO GOODDD

this is making me want to draw too ngl. BUT I CANT, THEIR HAIR IS SO HARD TO DRAW FOR ME AAAGHH

EVIL MARK, EVIL MARK, EVIL MARK!!! I want to be coherent about this season but please picture me foaming at the mouth and running on the walls. S2 being what if Mark's just like his Dad? Insanity. I love this show. Anyways, AU where an Evil!Mark tries to make Our!Mark worse, and Our!Mark tries to make the other better. Something something confronting your idea of the worst version of oneself. Plus, tweaked black and yellow costume because I saw it and immediately went murder hornet lookin' ass and knew I had to draw it. Evil ass Mark. Horrible. I think he should be dragged kicking and screaming into redemption.
