#IM COUGHIGN

[xamaxenta]

hhh i love unhinged marco So Much. mas works because theyre ALL sick in the head ❤️❤️ marco knows this is dangerous its fucking unhinged theres a pair of stalkers hunting and killing things and leaving them on his fucking doorstep its serial killer 101 but god. to have that kind of singular, overwhelming attention. to have these mysterious men devoting entire days to courting him in this deeply fucked up and sick way. marco eldest daughter syndrome his family ADORES him but marcos the one whos put together and the good decision maker, pops right hand, his family loves being there for him and getting him gifts and all but marcos not used to being the Sole Focus, and these two have no expectations of greatness or noble older brotherhood for him and. fuck it . He Wants To Go Ape Shit. marco buys a huge beef heart from the deli and spends an evening carefully filling the chambers of the heart with rose petals the whole time wildly swinging between "this is insane i need to throw this away and move out and never fucking come near this town again" and "i wonder if theyll like the white, the yellow, the pink or the red petals best" marco likes the white because it shows the dark organ blood smeared on them so nicely and hes curious what his suitors will think

Surgeons always have something not quite right about them as a whole (generalising 💔) but for Marco working trauma center means that he sees a lot and does alot to save a critical patient, this brand of fucked up seeps into his pores and he takes his home where it creeps under his skin beneath the epidermis and subcutaneous fat and f e s t e r s

Theyre like wild animals bringing home freshly hunted prey to impress a potential mate, during this particular phase the audio and video communication drops to nigh nothing, dried up, a digital footprint they no longer wish to have tracked

Its been weeks since Marco’s heard his voice but, hes good, hes done the bare minimum and scheduled uploads routinely load prerecorded and edited content to Sabos channels

Its fascinating to be so central to their attention i love eldest daughter syndrome marco l🥰 integral to the family and highly respected and beloved but never the core focus because he has always been generous to give it to his youger siblings

Marco accidentally pricks himself on the thorns and gets his own blood over the white roses and thinks isnt that poetry in motion

An unknown number and a message attached pings to his personal phone, hand shaking Marco tilts the screen to scan the bold white across the dark of his inverted screen read “lick it.”

The bovine heart? No. His own pounding marco considers the gentle wound beading red and brings his fingers up to his lips

His phone vibrates on the counter the screen lighting up

“good boy.”

chat what if i posted old romac art that i made before i even read this fucking webcomic

@alexandergromov <-- art trade piece for this guy

[dnangelic]

what , did she want him to be sincere about that question ? no doubt she might reconsider lunging at him if he admit that someone like her seemed way more likely to leap without the cuffs , having little issue tying just about anyone into human knots with her bare hands and leaving them begging for mercy . settled into these sorts of thoughts , he only huffs a little in the end .

' ... yeah , sure , i'll keep everything in mind . ' loosely translated , he'd behave , at least so long as she was around . a single glance goes down at her hands to confirm her words . targeted and teasing as they feel , he's good at these sorts of word games : ' considering you're being so generous already , i couldn't possibly ask for more , right ? and i can't very well steal a lady's hand . ' he pauses . ever so subtly hesitates .

' ... unless , of course , you were actually willing to give them to me . '

" do you think i just leap onto people with cuffs or something ? you moron. consider this for not wiping my memories , geez . someone's ungrateful ! "

" besides you're not doing anything right now ! yet . don't waste my generosity , dark . " half-bite half-warmth ; after all that dream sure was something . " i'm just watching . who knows ! your dramatics will pay off ! anyway i'm wearing gloves . what , did you want us to hold hands ? "

I'M ALIVE MOD I'M ALIVE I PROMISE

Mods favorite moments of round 3:

This tag (@akaikami-cherryblossom), which I initially had no context for and was subsequently horrified:

@itsjustevil, unsure of whether or not Yami was wearing a shirt

This (@slimepack), to which I audibly said “excuse me what”:

The way I nearly threw my phone reading the results of Batman vs. Pascal

Related, this self inflicted injury (@ryukogo please tell me you’re okay I’ll worry if you don’t):

This common sentiment (@eggs-can-draw and everyone who replied to it are you okay):

With that done, onto some new business:

I’m going to take a break before round 4 and the next set of bonus rounds. I think I tackled round 3 a little too quickly to be healthy for my mental state.

On top of that, I have a job interview tomorrow! Hopefully that goes well, and if it does, I’ll need time to figure out my new schedule, and where this will fall into it. No matter what, this tournament will continue! I just need some time to figure out when.

I’ve left my main all over this bracket. If you want to stalk me, go right on ahead.

See y’all soon!

"Wait, it wasn't--That's not what I--" He flushes a bit, shaking his head as he interjects. She's already thrown him off-balance enough with the turn in their conversation. Battler isn't sure how to respond to being seen through entirely or how exactly to refuse something she's offering him with such a serious expression. Sad might be a better word. He's trying not to let his focus linger, though. He feels guilty enough as it is and she doesn't stop for his interruption---

Which is fine, until it's not. His face twists a little nervously as she lays out the facts of the exchange she's requesting of him and in each and every moment Battler only grows more uneasy. It's not because he doubts her, or finds the stipulations concerning, or that he's found a hole in any logic. No, it's more to do with the way she says it. How easily she weaves new rules for them in a few breaths, just to satisfy something he, if only for a moment, considered might have been a whim. (He can blame Ronove and Virgilia's influence for that inclination, though, he decides, as he watches Beatrice's face fall.)

"Beato, hold on--" Battler grits his teeth in another anxious sort of grin, but he's more desperate than before, and maybe her smile, the fluttering quality to it, all the frailness of butterfly wings and attennae, is what really eggs him on, but he hears as much as Battler Ushiromiya saying 'I see you' to fulfill Beatrice's request will--before he covers his ears and squints his eyes shut.

He can't remember a time he's tried this before--Why would he want to? The truth is the truth is immutable. What difference does it make if he refuses to hear it? But he tries it anyway. Uncovers his ears to hear the rest of what she says as his face softens sheepishly, squinting as if he's hoping that being penitent will keep her from shutting him out entirely. It's not that he doesn't trust the red truth, or her saying it, it's just-----"You don't need to tell me what it will be. I know what it means. Well, for me, and for you, I--" It's more than enough that she said any red truth at all, and if that makes him a fool, then what else does it mean than that she's always been right about him? Battler tilts his head to the side, leaning closer to her across their table again so he can smile at her. It might be the warmest one he's worn since arriving on Rokkenjima. "I'll say it, Beato." His shoulders curl in a bit protectively like he's afraid of how she'll respond: "I see you."

His refusal, his blank confusion, the questions that he's not asking out of his own restraint and wish to be at least somewhat understanding--Beatrice sees them all, the faint smile she's sporting fading out and thinning into a soft, undefined line. She can't blame Battler for his resistance or his fear; she'd said it herself, she is the witch toying with his family, twisting his words against him, spearing him through with red truths, forever preventing him from making it home to his little sister...but this doesn't stop her hands from gingerly balling in her lap. From gathering the fabric of her dress and squeezing. The witch half of her can't even find much joy in his discomfort, but rather, it agonizes over the pains of a simple request. And she'd thought she'd made it easy for him.

"I suppose that is only fair considering you only asked for your first wish to lighten my spirits and not your own," Beatrice acknowledges it softly, adding a little dejectedly, "You may ask another thing of me. If it is within my power as Endless Witch, it will be yours."

She hesitates, then adds on to her red truths.

"If Battler Ushiromiya agrees to carry out Beatrice's request, it will be unusable in the context of any of the games played. This means it cannot be used in any of the games in the past, present, or future. It will only have merit here and now, in this present moment outside of the gameboard, shared between Beatrice and Battler Ushiromiya. Battler Ushiromiya, excepting his piece that exists on the gameboard, which has been made irrelevant to the nature of the request, only exists in this room. Battler Ushiromiya is the name of the person sitting before Beatrice, and none others except for his piece may use that name at this time and at the time the request is completed. Beatrice, of course, is the name of the witch who has made the request, and none other may use her name."

She grins a little waveringly. Perhaps this next one is too big of a hint. "Battler Ushiromiya saying 'I see you' to fulfill Beatrice's request will be a lie. There...are you not satisfied? If you would rather not listen to my request, a simple 'no thank you' would suffice."
