#Marcus Woods

[tempest-toss]

It was a Tuesday afternoon at Site 230, which meant that interviews, testing, and counseling was not to be held. Marcus Woods found himself using his free time to fingerpaint, as it was something he could safely do without the others interfering like they did when they made him stab that one guy in the arm.

"Ugh, this is sooo boring! I wanna do something fuuuun!" Marcus had to mentally roll his eyes at what he was hearing. The spirit of the famous pop idol "Classy Lassy" Cassidy had manifested and was lying on her back on a nearby table. For being a former national pop idol, she was quite a diva.

"Ah shut yer trap young'n, I gots a 'errible headache." Marcus turned his head to see the lighthouse keeper Rime Turpentine complain, with a hand on his head. It seemed he was nursing a hangover, something that was weird for a ghost to have.

"Why don't you shut yours?" snapped the spirit of former hotel owner Nyx Kalliope. Nods from the manifested spirits of Victorian winemaker Morgan Baker and serial killer Morticia Aeron followed.

"Please," muttered the spirit of the shepherd Jericho. "Please be quiet".

"I quite agree" spoke up the former "Murderous Maid" Teala Vasquez. We are upsetting our generous host. Marcus knew she was addressing him. Ever since he decided to wear this locket, he was cursed to have it on and share his body with these spirits and thirteen others. The one benefit of having a locket with twenty spirits trapped inside was that they were sometimes so focused on battling for control of his body that he could lead a normalish life.

Unfortunately, when they did gain control, they made him commit horrendous murders, which landed him attention by the Serpent's Hand, as they made the original article of jewelry. Based on what the Foundation staff told him, he was a bit glad that the Foundation found him first. He wished to leave but knew the threat he would pose until the locket was emptied.

Until then, he was kept in Site 230, which wasn't anywhere as bad as he thought. The staff was friendly, and there were many other people like him, anomalous, as they were called. The walls were colorful, and the inner courtyard was full of fresh air as opposed to the grimy city he used to live in. Not to mention that Pasta Thursdays were the highlight of the week.

"Yo fleshy, you payin' attention?" Marcus snapped to attention and turned to the infamous murderer Gabriella Emily. She scoffed as she realized Marcus didn't hear the question.

"We asked what you were thinking of dearie," cooed Matilda Dodge. This wasn't anything new from her. Despite her reputation as a mass murdering cannibal, most never knew that she was a kind mother, and probably saw Marcus as a son figure.

"He's p-probably thinking about h-how miserable his life is because of us," stuttered Jules Forth, a man seemingly cursed with permanent unluckiness that landed him in the position of being a spirit.

"Oh, I doubt such a charming friend would be thinking such a horrid thing," responded the flashy photographer Kazuichi Brekker, earning a nod of agreement from the sweet and deadly confectioner Elliot Lundell.

"Or," giggled a voice, "He is thinking such a thing, maybe he wants to cut us up into iiiity bitty pieces!" If Marcus was in an anime, he would've had a sweatdrop appear on his head. Of course, the "Violent Vivisector" Zechariah Z. Zaidan would wish for something like that.

"Leave Forth alone," Irina Kata curtly spoke in a tone that meant total seriousness. Marcus knew she died a bride, so perhaps she saw a bit of her husband in Jules?

"Mister Woods," piped up famed inventor Adam Sivers, "You never answered the question. What were you thinking about?"

Marcus thought for a bit before telling them the truth. That ever since the council member modified the locket to allow them to manifest as spirits only tethered to the locket instead of having to forcibly possess him anytime they wanted to be vocal, he really enjoyed talking to them as people. Silence filled the room.

"Wow, wasn't expecting something like that, considering what we made ya do," muttered Sam Sidney, who used their time in control of Marcus' body to discover the whereabouts of Jack the Ripper.

"Despite what we've done, we're not all terrible people," muttered former police chief Ajax Lycaon, who pointed a finger towards the glass door that led to the courtyard, which had sitting in front of it the solemn father "Herb", the environmentalist honey hunter Ayusha Ranjan, and surprisingly the muscle brute pro gamer known as +1UP. The trio seemed to be people watching those that wandered in and out of the courtyard.

Marcus smiled as he decided to paint the three for his picture. Days like these were treasures to be had, especially since he knew that in a few moments it would probably boil down to a bickering match like it usually did. And considering how Cassidy began to flap her gums, it seemed like he was right. Oh how he wished for some headphones.

Percy Weasley headcanon time, part 2!

all the Quidditch captains at Hogwarts crushed HARD on him

Oliver Wood: obvious reasons, they are roommates (oh my god, they are roommates), they're in every class together, Percy has canonically been at Gryffindor's Quidditch matches, etc. i could go on.

Roger Davies: captain of the Ravenclaw in case you don't remember( can't blame ya). but Percy is smart and clever, he would charm the pants of any Ravenclaw without even trying. a fellow scholar who plays Quidditch too. everytime Ravenclaw meets Gryffindor, he tries to impress but fails cause Oliver Wood.

Cedric Diggory: he got the biggest boy crush on Percy and it was literally his bi awakening. not only is Percy smart, but he's also incredibly kind and responsible. he takes a page of Percy's book and values good sportmanship (this is the reason why the twins can't stand him, they've seen him yearning after their brother)

Marcus Flint: he doesn't like any Gryffindor at all, not even when pigs fly and it rains lava. but Percy is different, he's the Golden Student of not only Gryffindor, but of the whole school (no he doesn't count Hermione). Percy is smart, clever, determined, kind, righteous and so incredibly pretty. if it wasn't for his blood status, then Percy would've been poster child of "the ideal spouse" the pureblood families always nags about.

Conclusion: Oliver and Marcus gets into fistfights every week because of this and no one relents until someone is nearly dead (the only reason Snape gives detention to a Slytherin, of all things, cause he didn't sign up for his own student's blood feud)

Poor Roger Davies gets friendzoned the whole time cause Percy genuinely believes they're friends and he can't ruin that cause Penelope Clearwater will literally murder him in his sleep

Cedric decides to play it safe, earn Percy's affection slowly and maybe the Perfect Prefect will fall for him...eventually.

Too bad Fred and George is deadset on NO ONE dates their brother...except maybe Oliver Wood, but he has to prove himself with twelve quests (that was a total lie)

Outcome: Percy eventually dates Oliver Wood and he's incredibly happy with him. He doesn't even know that his five brothers and baby sister threatens Oliver if he ever hurt him. He's mildly annoyed when he finds out, though.

Oliver: Hey Marcus, how long do you think it would take until I start hallucinating from sleep deprivation?

Marcus: I think-

Percy: Seventy two hours.

Oliver: How did you-

Percy: There's a clown right behind you.

The Hot Take Machine is up and Running

Back in I believe february someone made a poll asking if the Bear was a white show or not because the majority of the main cast is not white.

Here's the post I wrote essentially breaking down what made it a white show. And after Watching season 3 I feel like what I said is reinforced.

@currymanganese

What is any poc on the shows ethnicity besides Ebra?

We know the berzattos are italian, richie and jimmy are polish, the faks are faks, and we get a bit even if just from richie of them speaking other languages. What is Tina's ethnicity? Beyond sounding like a ny-er. Is Marcus Carribean? He's catholic, or his mom was? Just learned what league Gary played in via a Fak. Do Manny and Angel have last names? if we didn't know anything abt that yt characters ethnicities and cultures, I wouldn't care. But We Do lol. So there.

I didn't even know yt ppl could have this many fictive kin and play cousins, where is anyone else's immediate or extended family and background?

We know Marcus has a younger brother, was that just shared to fill in a larger motif around sibling relationships? I know there is an ongoing theme around going it alone (Donna through child birth, Marcus's mom, Syd's dad, and Richie being alone as a father) so it will echo through diff characters. But black and brown ppl of most ethnicities not having anybody to turn to at all? Not knowing a guy with a job? Not making any meaningful connections until they get to the beef? We know the name of Richie's grandma and his daughter calls Donna auntie DD. But none of the black or brown ppl have grandparents, aunts, uncles, or cousins.

I know the berzatto family can be like the island of misfit toys but like I do suspend my disbelief because of this lol.

Look at how Syd & Tina are being treated.

I know how the people being booted from the 4 top looked A Way™, but I think its highlighting that outside of Berzatto land, Syd is getting treated in a very wild way. Like ships are cool but I literally only started this show for Syd & Tina and they are used as introspection tools for the Berzatto brothers, or to reassure one. We know they have people that love them and why they are at the beef/bear. But my opinion stands, this is a white show about a large dysfunctional family that happens to have black people in it.

I honestly think the poc not neatly gelling and the extensive Berzatto-Fak-Jerimovich-Kalinowski & Co outset being insular is okay because who wants to be tied up in that? and we see Sydney weighing if she wants to be connected to or apart of it that we don't see any other berzatto +1 get to decide. Because it is warm when it's warm. But it is demoralizing dismissive and defeating when not. And her former hero sometimes is the initiator or amplifier of Syd being treated that way.

[department-of-landing-strategies]

Imagining a scenario that has Marcus and Oliver (who are both friends with Percy) being at a meeting between Hooch, all the Quidditch captains and the Heads of Houses when they find out that Percy is possessed. I'm very much trying not to cackle at imaging Rodger and Cedric's reactions at Marcus "Famously hostile with the entire Gryffindor Quidditch Team and will oppose them on anything during Quidditch season" Flint and Oliver "Will prioritise Quidditch over dealing with a dangerous creature in the castle" Wood both agreeing that trying to get Percy unpossesed is more important than the current Quidditch meeting.

[perciver4ever]

Percy: I'm going to tear you apart limb by limb until you're just a torso with a head. You will scream so much in pain that I will get tired and take your vocal cords tie them into a bow and put you under a Christmas tree for your family. I'm going to mash your organs up, take your bones out one by one then flatten you into a rug that I will give to your family.

Oliver: He's so nice and kind I love him so much!!

Marcus:

Penelope:

The Weasleys:

The students:

The professors:

Merlin himself:

How they are towards each other in front of people vs when they're alone together

[sarkylittlemonster]

In the mood where I don't need the golden trio, or the Slytherin skittles or even the marauders. I need Percy, Oliver, Marcus, Penelope, Cedric and Roger all in a friend group.
