Insane how long the plugs are like those things are going into her BONES. Not literally bc what use would that have, but she definitely has ports and stuff in there, possibly connected to her nervous system. Gosh this kid is the definition of whump.
I legit can't stop thinking about the implications of what the core did to Marcy's body and how that is likely to do irreversible things that she will be affected by for the rest of her life. Like obviously the mental scars alone will be devastating, but I can't stop thinking about how the human body is just. Not compatible with being the host of an ancient being. Along with the fact that she was 13 years old and her body wasn't even done growing. And we still have no real idea what happened to her while she was possessed, because I doubt the core would stop whatever actions it was doing when Marcy's body felt pain or exhaustion. She was stabbed through the chest, kept in a tank for a long time, forced out, put in an electric chair to force the ancient being into her brain, and then had her brain and body modified to accommodate it. I understand the tank probably healed her a bit and she had the strength of her calamity gem, but genuinely there is no way she just walked away from all that and was physically fine. Disabled Marcy is REAL
#last night in my half-asleep delirium i was comparing marcy to sansa stark from game of thrones and how#they're both these 13yo girls who kinda live in fantasy worlds and think the world is like#this fantasy adventure. marcy sees it as a c&c campaign and sansa sees it as a fairy tale or a story about knights and princessess#and they both get horribly brutalized#anyway the point of my mental rambling was to wonder how come marcy was instantly the fan favorite#while sansa was hated by the fandom from hell and back from the beginning#when they apparently share the same fatal flaw like. what's the big difference?#i think the difference is that marcy is competent and useful and helpful from the beginning while sansa gets her own dog killed in the first#episode because she was mean to her younger sister who WAS the immediate fan favorite because she was a tomboy and stuff#and then it all got worse and worse#and I kept thinking about the ways in which both characters are punished for living in a fantasy and the different implications of their#character arcs because tbh they're completely different characters and save for this one thing they have nothing in common lol#i was just interested in seeing how this one common character trait took different forms under different circumstances in different genres#well um. UM. both characters have their bodily autonomy violated in the most horrible way possible allowed by their respective genres#but i found myself thinking ''damn imagine if we got a darcy possession storyline in a game of thrones like genre. with the different tone#and rules and implications and all of that. how would that look. how would the characters react if it were adult low fantasy instead of#kids' cartoon high fantasy sci-fi. would it actually be considered worse than half the shit that happens in got? i feel like it would
