Smth abt the concept of marcia having been like 6000 times more visibly autistic before the whole. Supreme custodian/double assassination thing. Hm. <3
#sep talks#septimus heap#marcia overstrand#like. The idea that before the everything she just. Never rlly bothered masking#like that's everyone else's problem if they're bothered#but then the assassination happens and suddenly she's In Charge and the custodian is spreading rumours abt her#and ppl r talking abt how she's not fit for the job bc if she can hardly handle being in a crowded room how can she be eow 🤔🤔#so she just. Puts unreasonable amounts of effort into looking as nt as possible even if it means having meltdowns at home every single day#bc there's no way to get even a scrap of respect otherwise#idk. Just alther coming back from his year and a day to find that marcia has (from the outside) completely changed as a person#she doesn't stim visibly shes always talking and her voice has Tone in it its not monotone#she doesn't seem bothered by loud sounds or by crowded rooms like. She seems Weird but could (and does) pass for nt#and obviously she Isn't and the facade comes crashing down as soon as she's back in the apartment alone. But to the outside observer she#Looks It and that's what matters#and then the zeldas cottage thing happens and suddenly she is Living with People and its like. Wait. Fuck#bc she can't keep the act up 24/7 for months its just not possible. She still tries but it culminates in one massive meltdown and then like#3 days of her not leaving her bed in zeldas tiny upstairs room. And once shes mostly a person again silas and zelda r like. So wtf was that#and she tries to deflect and be like I'm fine ill deal with it stop asking. But they don't stop asking and eventually she's very awkwardly#like. Yeah so remember how I suddenly became nt 10 years ago. Haha so nothing actually changed I've just been collapsing into a pile at the#end of every day#and idk quite what happens but she does end up repressing the Everything slightly less#like she's never back to where she was before but it's not for lack of trying#and then they all lived happily ever after the end <3
