MotoGP masterlist / homepage / main masterlist

Marc Marquez

✩₊˚.⋆Marc’s love for racing is well-known, but what really makes him stand out is his ability to enjoy life beyond the track. It’s like he has an unspoken rule that racing should never overshadow the good times, the laughter, and the moments of peace he shares with you.

✩₊˚.⋆After many, many years of racing, You two have become experts at turning every trip into an adventure. 

✩₊˚.⋆In between each race you spend all your time exploring new places, finding hidden gems of restaurants, stumbling upon unexpected local spots, and laughing until you both can’t breathe over the ridiculous things you’ve seen. 

✩₊˚.⋆You’re always making the most of each trip together and turning every day together into its own adventure.

✩₊˚.⋆Even when the racing gets intense, Marc’s joy in sharing his successes with you never changes. He knows how lucky he is to have not only a career that takes him to incredible places but a person like you by his side to experience all of it. 

✩₊˚.⋆You’ve been there through the highs and the lows of his career, and he can’t imagine going through any of it without you.  

✩₊˚.⋆No matter what happens during a race, the first thing Marc does when he sees you is light up. It could be after a podium finish, a tough loss, or a qualifying session gone wrong—but when he spots you in the crowd, it’s like all of his tension melts away. 

✩₊˚.⋆Your support is his anchor; your smile is his fuel. He looks at you and sees everything he’s working for, all the reason he needs to keep pushing forward despite his challenges.

✩₊˚.⋆He holds a deep, quiet gratitude for you, one he doesn’t always vocalize, but it’s there in every gesture. When things get hard, and the pressures of racing begin to feel overwhelming, your presence is what keeps him grounded. 

✩₊˚.⋆You’re the source of his strength, his inspiration, and the reason he’s able to face each challenge with his head held high.

✩₊˚.⋆ Together, you’re the ultimate power couple, and it shows. People talk about your dynamic. 

✩₊˚.⋆And Marc? He’s not afraid to show how much you mean to him. 

✩₊˚.⋆Whether it’s a quick handhold, a tender glance, or a playful comment in front of the cameras, it’s obvious: he’s got someone who’s got his back, and he’ll never take that for granted.

Jorge Martin

✩₊˚.⋆Jorge’s protective streak comes out strong when it comes to you. It’s not just that he adores you; it’s that he sees you as his, and he makes sure everyone knows it.

✩₊˚.⋆He’s possessive, but in a way that’s less about control and more about admiration. 

✩₊˚.⋆He’s completely aware of how stunning you are—inside and out—and he can’t help but show you off. You’re his prize, his treasure, and you can feel the pride radiating off him when you're together. 

✩₊˚.⋆Whether it's keeping a possessive hand on your thigh during dinner or making sure you're always close by when you're out in public, he’s got a way of making it clear that you’re his and only his, and he loves every minute of it.

✩₊˚.⋆When it’s just the two of you, though, that’s when the real magic happens. The tough exterior he shows to the world completely melts away. 

✩₊˚.⋆He’s soft and tender, always finding new ways to make you feel loved. He’ll kiss you on the neck just because he loves the way it makes you react, whispering how beautiful you are in your ear, watching as you blush every time. In these moments, there’s nothing but you and him—his world revolves around making sure you know how cherished you are.

✩₊˚.⋆He loves to spoil you. Whether it’s material gifts, compliments, or affection, Jorge’s number one priority is showing you how special you are.

✩₊˚.⋆When you’re together, it’s like the rest of the world fades into the background. 

✩₊˚.⋆He always tells you that he’s the luckiest guy alive, because, to him, he truly is. You’re his favorite person in the universe, and he’ll stop at nothing to remind you of that.

✩₊˚.⋆Jorge can’t hide how much he adores you. When you’re in his arms, there’s no place he’d rather be, and he’s never shy about showing it.

Pedro Acosta

✩₊˚.⋆ Pedro is a whirlwind of energy when he’s on the track, but there’s something so special about being with him in those quiet moments when it’s just the two of you.

✩₊˚.⋆ On the track, he’s fierce, full of drive, and always looking to push limits, but off it? He’s soft, gentle, and ridiculously playful. 

✩₊˚.⋆ He loves nothing more than making you laugh, whether it’s through a silly joke or just some quirky thing he does to get a reaction out of you. 

✩₊˚.⋆ And when he sees that spark in your eye, the one that says you’re about to burst out laughing? That’s the moment he lives for. 

✩₊˚.⋆ It’s like he’s addicted to hearing your laugh, and every time he makes you laugh, it feels like a victory to him.

✩₊˚.⋆ He’s so ridiculously smug about it, too. He’s constantly smirking whenever he can make you laugh, smile, or blush. It makes his competitive nature slip out, and he;s addicted to winning.

✩₊˚.⋆  When he’s not trying to make you laugh, Pedro’s incredibly affectionate in his own way. There’s a tenderness to him that he saves for you, moments when he’ll hold you close, run his fingers through your hair, or just let the silence speak for how much he cares. 

✩₊˚.⋆ But even when he’s quiet, there’s an undercurrent of joy—because being with you, sharing these moments, is all he really wants.

✩₊˚.⋆ He’ll take hundreds of photos of you, all while telling you how amazing you look in every single one. And even though he’s not big on posting personal stuff, he makes sure those pictures end up in his phone, safe and sound, as his collection that he looks through when he misses you.

✩₊˚.⋆ And on your instagram? He’s absolutely feral. Despite how many scoldings he’s gotten from his PR manager, Pedro still comments heart eyes or calls you “mami” under every post.

✩₊˚.⋆ And let’s not even talk about the way he reacts when he sees you in his clothes. Whether it’s a shirt, hoodie, or jacket, the look on his face when he sees you wearing something that’s his is priceless. 

✩₊˚.⋆ He’s so proud, almost a little too proud, as if he can’t believe how lucky he is to have you, and now you’re wearing his clothes. It’s a small thing, but it makes him feel even closer to you.

✩₊˚.⋆  When you’re together at night, Pedro becomes the type of person who will stay up until the early hours of the morning just talking, even if there’s nothing specific to talk about. 

✩₊˚.⋆ The conversations range from deep, meaningful ones about the future, to silly discussions about random topics that make no sense at all. He’s not in a hurry to go to sleep; being with you is enough to keep him wide awake.

Enea Bastianini

✩₊˚.⋆The sweetest boyfriend to ever exist

✩₊˚.⋆From the moment you met, it was clear that he wasn’t just a great boyfriend; he was the great boyfriend. 

✩₊˚.⋆He treats you like royalty, always finding little ways to show you how much he cares. Whether it’s sending you flowers while he’s away at races, surprising you with your favorite snack just because he remembered, or taking the time to send you a random message just to check in, Enea’s love is constant and genuine.

✩₊˚.⋆His love isn’t loud or dramatic; it’s quiet and steady, the kind that builds over time and shows itself in the little moments. And it’s obvious to everyone who sees the two of you together that Enea’s world revolves around you. 

✩₊˚.⋆He talks about you constantly—especially in interviews. Whenever he’s asked about his wins, he doesn’t just thank his team or his fans; he always mentions you, calling you his biggest supporter, the reason he keeps pushing forward.

✩₊˚.⋆Every victory, big or small, feels incomplete without acknowledging the role you play in his life.

✩₊˚.⋆What’s even sweeter is how excited he gets when people mention you in conversation. His eyes light up, a huge smile spreading across his face, and you can see just how proud he is to have you by his side. 

✩₊˚.⋆It’s like the whole world could praise him, but when your name is said, it’s like the universe aligns for just a moment, and Enea’s joy is palpable.

✩₊˚.⋆The way he cherishes you is so sincere, so genuine, that it’s impossible not to feel like the luckiest person alive when you’re with him. 

✩₊˚.⋆He’s always trying to make you feel loved, always trying to make sure you know that you’re his number one priority. 

✩₊˚.⋆And somehow, even in the most chaotic moments, he manages to make you feel like everything will be okay, just because he’s there.

Marco Bezzecchi

✩₊˚.⋆Marco is the type of person to be your boyfriend and your best friend at the same time

✩₊˚.⋆You share something rare—a perfect blend of friendship and romance that makes every mundane moment spent together feel special.

✩₊˚.⋆ From the start, he’s had a magical talent to make you laugh. His humor is infectious, always managing to lift your spirits, even on the most stressful days. 

✩₊˚.⋆He has this natural talent for finding the funny in even the most mundane situations, and his ability to make you laugh is one of the reasons you’re so drawn to him.

✩₊˚.⋆Your favorite memories together aren’t elaborate dates or vacations, but casual, simple nights at home. He makes every moment feel like an adventure.

✩₊˚.⋆He acts like he has to mention you in interviews. No matter what the question is, somehow, Marco finds a way to talk about you, always highlighting how important you are to him. 

✩₊˚.⋆He’s so open about his love for you, not just in words but in the little actions he takes. He’ll casually slip in a comment about how great you are or how lucky he is to have you, and it’s clear to everyone listening that you mean the world to him.

✩₊˚.⋆The most special moment for him though is when you met Rubik, his dog. Rubik is always a little shy and hesitant around new people, but you are the exception

✩₊˚.⋆But the first time you went to his house, the dog acted like he’d known you his whole life. He cuddled at your feet and was attached to your hip. 

✩₊˚.⋆The moment the dog warmed up to you, Marco knew. That was the sign. 

✩₊˚.⋆Rubik’s approval was everything, and that was the moment Marco realized you were the one.

I'm in love with your idea of ​​protective Kim towards Marcaniel! The fact that he canonically has two fathers is so amazing to me. I hope we get more content on this in the future, if you have more thoughts on this topic could you write them? 🫶

Oowww🥹🥹🫶🏽🫶🏽 I'm glad you liked it!!

I also hope to receive new content about Kim's parents. The way the series is representing LGBTQIA+ themes makes me very happy, excited and hopeful for the development of Kim's family in the episode "Sleeping Siren"!!

About the interactions between Kim, Marc and Nathaniel, I have some ideas!! I really wish write something to explore the dynamics of the boys group, something like a "Partycrasher 2.0", with the boys taking Adrien to shopping new clothes and change his look!! It would be an interesting situation to see the group's friendship dynamics!(and also to see a change of look for Adrien... All the characters got new clothes and accessories, why does he have to be excluded?). But I'm currently shelving that idea because I'm already writing a medium-length Marcaniel fanfic to create a illustration book for my artist portfolio, a 4-chapter script about "unshown scenes from the episode The Ruler", so I won't be writing or drawing anything beyond that until the end of July😅(hopefully)

Anyway, I'm going to share some points here that I think about Marcaniel and Kim's dynamic!! I hope you like it and forgive any writing mistakes, English is not my first language!!

(and if there is something written in Portuguese in the middle of English, please let me know so I can fix it!! My computer sometimes translates texts into my native language automatically and I'm afraid I may have missed a sentence among the corrections)

My little thoughts on Nath, Marc and Kim's friendship!!

(don't know what to name this, lol)

The first time Kim's dads saw Marc and Nath was at the Heroes' Day picnic.The boys were smiling at each other and talking shyly as Nathaniel showed what he had just drawn.One of the parents asks Kim if the "redhead" and the "noiret" were dating. He says no, they were just friends and comic book partners. The other parent immediately tells Kim to wait a few more months, they would soon be "changing the status of that partnership" , men recognized very well what was written in those looks... but Kim hadn't understood what his dads meant until the day she heard Alix teasing Nathaniel about his crush on Marc. It was from then on that he began to pay a little more attention to the boys, realizing how the little things they did for each other reminded him of the loving couple his parents were and how often, like his dads, the artists received sidelong looks and negative comments disguised as compliments… Kim grew up receiving these negative looks, knowing full well that whoever looked at Marc and Nathaniel's closeness like that would look the same way at his parents… The men always protected each other and their son from anyone who dared to insult their family. Kim just felt the need to do the same with the boys. If his family deserves to be respected, his friends deserve it too and he would make sure no one hurt them.

Kim is not a fan of reading, but he supports Marc and Nathaniel with their comics, always trying to keep up to date with what is happening in the story with each issue that the artists release even without having read the previous one completely. He has his own (and slow) reading pace, He is more of a conversational person than a reader, but he wants to support his friends and goes around recommending and asking about comics to everyone.

Ever since becoming a regular holder of the Monkey Miraculous, Kim has been teasing everyone about how awesome the Monkey King is! He openly shows himself to be the biggest fan of the monkey hero to the point of even trying to convince Marc and Nathaniel to make an exclusive comic about the hero, challenging them to do so over and over again. The boys refused every time, as they were leaving the superhero theme aside, to focus on in his new idea about knights, medieval times and fairy tales, but Marc secretly has a draft of a little one-shot that Nathaniel will illustrate for them to give to Kim for his next birthday. (Don't worry, after months of excitement and fanaticism for receiving your Miraculous, the weight of responsibility fell on Kim's shoulders and he went back to being just a "normal fan").

Kim showed the Sun-heart and Rain-piercer comic to their dads and they loved it! They followed all the volumes excitedly and, just like Marc's parents, they cried with emotion. Especially because Kim asked Marc and Nath to sign and write a special dedication to his parents in the last edition, right below the knights' kiss! The day after the latest issue of Sun-heart and Rain-piercer was released, the men personally accompanied Kim to greet and thank the artists for this comic.

Kim already challenged Nathaniel judging Adrien's clothing style, since the redhead designed clothes for his characters, he must have understood fashion. Nath threw the question to Marc, justifying that he himself didn't know get ready and it was noiret who taught him how to dress up. Drawing is different from dressing someone for real! And so, somehow, between jokes and teasing, the boys decided to take Adrien shopping for new clothes!

I imagine the boys shopping: Marc giving suggestions for clothes and accessories, putting together charming and varied combinations for Adrien, Nath helping him with color combinations and Max calculating the prices and probabilities of the combinations assembled making the blonde more or less attractive for his girlfriend, and Nino and Kim judging them to see whether or not they are doing a good job or not with their bro.

(Don't ask me where Ivan is, I honestly don't know where to put him. He's probably helping Marc hold the clothes or he went out for a moment to buy a brooch or bracelet for Myléne)

In the midst of this clothes party, Kim is paying attention to the strange looks that some others boys give Marc, trying to understand what he is and mentally disapproving the fact that this extravagant and exotic person, and his supposed boyfriend, is giving fashion advice to the son of the late great fashion designer Gabriel Agreste. Kim frowns and grimaces, scaring away anyone who wanted to say anything out loud, especially when Adrien admits to liking the composition that Nath and Marc put together and and the artists hug and kiss in celebration, happy to help.

----

Wow this is longer than I imagined… I'll be tagging @goldenwitherphoenix13 because you also asked me to talk more about my headcanons about Nath, Marc and Kim!! It's not really a fic, but I hope you like it!!

Thank you so much for reading this far! Kisses full of love and light ~Emy🌹

[coraniaid]

I can't help but be puzzled by people who try to position Riley as somehow fundamentally different from Angel and Spike (here 'people' includes not only most of the current fandom but also most of the actual writers, I guess). Because ... well, he isn't, is he? That just isn't true.

In fact, knowing that Riley represents the writers' idea of a notional "healthy relationship" for Buffy Summers (something that Joss Whedon, Marti Noxon and others have all claimed in interviews at various points) explains an awful lot about how Angel is written in Season 3 and Spike is written in Season 7. When the writers stop having anything interesting to say about either of those characters -- which happens in Season 3 shortly after Angel comes back from hell, and in Season 7 once they get bored of Spike having a soul and decide he's really acting strange because he has been Hypnotized By A Ghost -- this is the dynamic they default to. This is what the writers think a healthy romantic relationship looks like. How can that not inform the way they write the rest of the show?

Yes, I agree that Riley is a bad character (and, frankly, that Marc Blucas just isn't a very good actor). I think his relationship with Buffy in Season 4 is one of the weaker parts of that season, and that the decision to write him out by first having him metaphorically cheat on Buffy while her mother was seriously ill, only to then somehow reframe this at the eleventh hour as Buffy making a terrible mistake in "letting him get away" (because she didn't have the good sense to realize just how wonderful he really was) is infuriating. I'm not here to defend the character of Riley Finn.

But, I mean. Who is Riley? He's an older man with close ties to the Big Bad of the season he is introduced in, ties which he initially keeps hidden from Buffy. He falls for her pretty much on sight. For her part, she is initially reluctant to "admit" she is attracted to him, because he reminds her of her first serious boyfriend, but he tells her she's an idiot and insists that she has to date him and eventually she does. He in turn is then confronted by his past and chooses Buffy over returning to his old life. After this, he hangs around in town despite not obviously having any sort of source of income or any remaining friendship group beyond her. He doesn't ever really form any sort of relationship with her other friends either. He has super-powers which make him far stronger than any ordinary human, but still not as strong as Buffy herself. There are multiple moments in which he is injured and Buffy stops what she's doing to help gently bandage him up. At various points he is compelled by factors beyond his control to try to hurt her, which he heroically resists through natural willpower and his devotion to her. Even while they are together he is convinced that Buffy doesn't really love him and thinks he should be able to make decisions about their relationship on her behalf.

Surely, whatever your view on Riley, you've got to admit that at least some of this sounds awfully familiar? These are all story beats and character traits that either Angel or Spike -- or both -- either already had or would later also exhibit.

I mean, yes, I do think Angel and Spike are more interesting and (at least at times) more sympathetic characters -- and not just because they get far more episodes of character development and have clear narrative roles beyond being Buffy's boyfriend -- but the idea that Riley marks some complete and total departure from Buffy's other canon relationships just isn't credible at all.

[with-chiasm]

Hey guys I lied 11 has arrived and it has arrived now. Moon Knight & Punisher dynamic ideas under cut. You know how it goes. Disclaimer, it's all headcanons, not a statement, we have fun here. Warning it's looong.

I think... there will definitely be a learning curve. I think. Frank probably doesn't get it, he'd have to sit down and read up on DID first before he can understand and he's a tired busy man so he probably wouldn't have that much time to do that. But Frank's seen a lot of things in his line of work. Probably even other systems: people he saved, coworkers, etc, or maybe he'd heard of the term in passing.

I think, at the beginning at least, Frank would stick to one alter he finds familliar / works with the most often — probably Marc? And just run with that. But he'll get to know the others over time and I mean, I personally want to explore his interactions with the whole system rather than just one alter LMAO

——

Frank and Marc: fellow Marines! They have quite a timegap in their services, but I think Marc definitely would have heard about the Cerberus squad, their lethality, and everything they mostly had to do. Frank probably doesn't know of Marc's discharge (at least, y'know, until he looks too deeply into Moon Knight...) but I feel like he wouldn't really care primarily because the way Marc fights in the field is testament enough. Goddamn great fighter, ruthless and efficient. Frank likes that. He likes a guy who ensures the job gets done.

Marc is also like Frank in the way they're both self-sabotaging, quiet, and self-isolating, and ironically I think they'd find camaraderie in Not deepening their allyship. Keeping it arms length, professional, where nobody has a risk of getting hurt (Castle can take care of himself, anyway // Spector has that superhealing suit of his, he can't die.) Lessens the expectations and makes it so much more predictable (and pleasant) for both parties. They'd keep each other in check to make sure they don't fall off the deep end, and a reassurance that if they ever do, the other guy's there to bring them down.

(I have another headcanon about Marc's relationship with platonic attraction, or maybe lack thereof, but that's another thing...)

Oh also because Marc is such a careful guy he would Not Ask. He sees Frank dissociating? Pop in a "you good?" guy says fine, Marc doesn't ask, silently thinks "yeah me too buddy." Frank's whole tragedy at Central Park, Marc can definitely sympathize with losing family and how that would crush you, and he can only imagine what it'd be like to be a whole family. Survivor's guilt is huge with these two. Marc would try to help to the best of his ability? But most of the time they Do Not Talk About It, and they're both fine with knowing too much about the other party and not saying anything about that information unless relevant.

—

Frank and Steven: Ooooh boy. Okay so this is actually a very interesting possible dynamic I've thought about a lot purely because Steven is Just A Guy. He's not cut out for this cutthroat business. Frank would, at first, probably see Steven's involvement in the vigilante industry as slightly out of place, not cut out for the blood, but slowly I think he'd gain more respect for Steven when he understands Steven's role in the system but also to how MK works as a whole.

Steven's a researcher, he's compassionate, he's assertive, and he's a voice of reason. Calls out people's bullshit with his full chest. If any of them were self-sabotaging, he'd call it out. Steven's experience with Marc probably helps him in calling out Frank's bullshit too in that regard. He's probably great at calming people down and honestly I can easily see Steven being capable of doing a lot of research efficiently and giving reminders for the party to "take it down a notch." I think Frank understands what it'd be like to have someone like that, to ground him to his life beyond vigilantism (see also: Curtis, Karen, Micro.)

Unlike Marc, who's more strictly professional and acquaintances only, Steven would probably check up on Frank every once and a while, proactively. Ensure he's not self-isolating, ensure that he's still alive and all. Morality wise, Steven's not one for killing, obviously — but I think he can at least respect Frank for what he does, and they can have objective debates about it (not emotionally charged ones, courtesy of Red) and Steven doesn't get in Frank's way, which he likes. Alternatively, having Frank Castle around means more allies that would protect them (the system) and people Steven cares about, which is a great deal.

—

Frank and Jake: The fun guys. I can talk endlessly about how I think they'd play out purely because I have like three intrepretations of Jake in my head at a time. Anyway, amicable cab driver Jake that nightlights as Moon Knight would have a blast with Frank, and I think it goes both ways. Jake's good as an informant, good at fighting, almost as well trained as Marc, and actually respects what Frank's doing. Some people in this world can't be redeemed. Sometimes people just need to go. Jake respects Frank for doing that hard work, and even more so about how firm he is in that belief — even Marc can waver before taking a life, but Frank Castle Knows how to do it. He knows what he needs to do. Jake respects that a whole lot. I've talked about this... a lot LMAO

Anyway Jake is also proactive. That's a big part of it. The thing that maybe sets Jake apart from Marc and Steven is that a) he's proactive, b) has a sense or humor in his super serious line of work, c) works seriously and efficiently. Marc's great at fighting, but too careful / having little to no intention to pursue a deeper friendship with Frank purely because it's easier that way and Frank reciprocates the feeling. With Steven, he's great at being proactive, but not so much the fighting element. Jake's great with both.

(In the Punisher TV show, Micro was like this. David Lieberman wasn't scared of Frank (well, he is, a healthy amount.) and they both shared the same goals. David is also funny and sociable to contrast Frank's everything but that. Even if Frank was cautious about working with David, he warmed up and trusted him fast after David was so open about himself and his family. I think Jake would be the same, to a certain extent.)

I think they both would exchange the similar type of humor and they always find a way to benefit from each other's skills (free cab ride from Jake / additional firepower from Frank) so I just think they'd have a blast fighting side by side. Oh, and Jake's probably the guy who's also realistic and tethered enough to reality that he can "slip out" of Moon Knight's vigilantism and just go back to being Cab Driver Jake. (Which I think is something Frank needs, honestly. A guy to remind him that his life isn't an endless war.)

... That's not even considering Khonshu, heh. Which. Ha ha ha. I am laughing. That's a whole giant thing on its own and I stare longingly at my WIPs. Anyway, Khonshu loves what the Punisher does, would love it if he hung out more with MK. Hey maybe one day I'll make another post about th—[shot]

Hi!! Hello

I feel like we are not getting a lot of steven as much as both marc and jake, like what motivates them and such. Having said that, what would your aproach be at developing steven both personally and in his relationship with jake and marc?

Btw, your blog is still my favorite one in all of tumblr, I look forward both to new releases and your commentary after every single one <3

Hello! And thank you so much for the ask and for hanging around! :D I am immeasurably glad that this blog is something that sparks a little joy in your life. 🤍🖤 As for Steven, I see your point! You actually brought up something I've been mulling over deep in my brainpan for a hot minute, so (as always seems to happen when I answer asks whoops), this got a little long. There's a bit of preamble on how I came to my conclusion, but I'm pretty sure I more directly address your question in the second part, so you can just skip to there if you'd like hahaha

Part I: Preamble Not to hijack the whole lunar theme, but Moon Knight comics do go through phases and one type of phase involves some authors giving a bit more panel time to one of the guys (e.g. Jake in the first volume of Vengeance of the Moon Knight, Steven through a lot of the first Moon Knight volume as I recall). Currently, we're in a phase of focusing a bit more on Marc and, while MacKay's work on Moon Knight has been some of the most consistently enjoyable comics I've encountered in a while, I do miss Jake and Steven. Steven in particular, has been a little out of focus. On the one hand, I can kind of see how that happened. After how previous authors chose to portray him, my interpretation is that Jake's character needed a bit of time dedicated to returning him back to his essence (but that's a whole other kettle of worms). Additionally, I will always be the first person to rail against comic characters getting pigeonholed by editorial as having a certain "role" within a comic and once that role's been fulfilled elsewhere, editorial struggles to know what to do with that character and potentially discards them entirely (or worse, warps them beyond recognition, but again, I don't need to be bring up here how salty I am about how Marvel editorial has treated other characters hahaha) and I believe that might be a bit of the case with Steven. For a long time, the guys' dynamic was understood as Steven makes money and high society connections, Jake makes friends and underground connections, and Marc makes uuuuuh let's say "extreme bodily harm to his enemies" and is not really fit to be seen in society due to, you know, the crimes against humanity. Now that Marc's lost all of their money and, in a turn of events frankly more miraculous then his multiple resurrections (perhaps to no one's greater surprise than Marc's), established himself and the Midnight Mission as upstanding parts of the community, Steven's two main "jobs" in the reductive sense aren't as easily inserted into the narrative anymore. Part II: Actually Answering Your Question (Sorry) HOWEVER, even beyond my never ending love for Steven just as he is, I believe there's more to explore.

Particularly, when I first read your ask, the first thing that popped up in my head was this page from the most recent Moon Knight annual:

Moon Knight Annual (Vol. 5/2024), #1.

Historically and including in Moon Knight (Vol. 9/2021), #24, writers have portrayed Steven as the respectable one who wants to settle down, but this idea that Steven's just as much a thrill seeker as Jake and Marc -- it just manifests differently -- greatly intrigues me. As such, personally, I would LOVE to see more of Steven's work on the logistical side of things. They don't need huge sums of cash to throw around; Steven's probably just a bit more adept at understanding how financing both legitimate and illegitimate ventures work, so he can either direct them or manipulate them as necessary. He can be messing with criminal finances for Moon Knight work in ways that carries just as much risk as pounding the pavement. Authors have alluded to such things previously, with Mr. MacKay highlighting how critical finances are to continuing the Midnight Mission's work in the community and how Moon Knight can even use them for fighting crime.

Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu (Vol. 1/2024), #0.

This little gem of an infinity comic actually addressed the topic even more explicitly.

Avengers Unlimited (Vol. 1/2022), Infinity Comic, #64.

I get it, white collar crime and financial maneuvering is a lot more difficult to make appear exciting in the comic medium as opposed to, say, fisticuffs or edged weapons. In my opinion at least though, this is cool!!! Marines make jokes about their organization's history of struggling with logistics, but that underlines how critical that aspect is to making sure anything can operate effectively! Using the full range of skills and resources available to most efficiently execute justice is just something that feels very Moon Knight to me. That interpretation also helpfully supports my argument that Steven should be just as involved in Moon Knight work as Marc and Jake, just in an "occupational specialty," if you will that looks as different from what Jake and Marc do as how different Jake's networking looks from Marc's....very kinetic approach to problems. Accordingly, I guess I would just like to see Steven utilized in the narrative more as the "scalpel" of the trio. There is a time for everything, including Marc cracking skulls, Jake shaking hands and slapping backs to collect HUMINT, but also for Steven's precise and surgical approach that can dismantle a whole organization perhaps without even any bloodshed. After all,

Moon Knight (Vol. 9/2021), #25.

Steven's got his own way of doing things.

I guess, ultimately, is it too much for me to ask that Steven, Jake, and Marc be all equally valued for the unique skill sets they bring to Moon Knight? That they support each other, particularly with how wonderfully complimentary those skill sets are? hahaha

[jesncin]

would like to throw out there that, as someone who only watched s1 of invincible, i didn't mind amber / don't think she's comparable to maws lois only bc she dumps marc when he literally keeps ghosting her on dates. and yeah, the audience knows that he's got all these important superhero things to do, but he lies to her about being able to do stuff with her, and even after she gives him the benefit of the doubt multiple times, he continues to not show. much more of a spiderman type issue then whatever was happening with MAWS. (it's not the superhero identity that's the problem; it's that he still led her on and made her feel like shit. hardest part of their whole dynamic was buying they could get back together after it went so poorly, knowledge of his secret identity or no)

fellas,,,if you want to defend a fictional character from a show I don't watch, then brave the comments section and talk there with someone who knows what you're talking about for I have very little horse in this race other than "this character sure gets brought up with MAWS Lois every time superhero secret identity discourse happens, and I'm sick of seeing both their faces frankly".

I don't think this is really the whole picture. I can't trust either way unless I watch the show myself (which I'm not interested in, Martian Manhunter isn't in it, etc etc) but I feel a character getting this much hate is the result of a logical narrative dissonance. Sure there can be other variables at play, but my spider senses are telling me that's not the case here. And I'd rather not continue any Invisible discussion beyond that.

[batsplat]

I keep seeing people say Agostini likes Marc and I think you had post which included what Agostini thinks about the rosquez situation.

I was wondering if you knew if they have actually interacted or how this fondness started. And if it's continued.

Apologies if you've already made a post about this and i missed it 😊

And thank you for all the responses to my prev asks!!! You are like my favourite grandparent i sidle up to and ask to reveal some new thing of the MotoGP world. Which you do so patiently 💛. ( I'm sorry for the grandparent comparison i couldn't find a better one 😔😔😔😔😔).

ahaha that's super sweet. and honestly, I don't think there's really a story here, beyond 'ago quite likes him'! they did a joint interview of sorts at the laureus awards in 2015 which is worth a watch - which came after that 2014 season in which a big talking point was how it looked like marc might be able to match ago's numbers in 'winning everything'... also you have that presser clip from 2013 where the riders are asked ago or hailwood, and marc says "if everybody say ago, ago" and laughs, which. I mean. I'm sure respected ago just fine but it's probably worth pointing out he's not exactly an enthusiast, is he

but yeah, beyond wading into a couple of marc controversies, ago's definitely spoken warmly about him quite frequently over the years. as early as 2014, he was saying that if marc matched his records, he deserved to do so - and in 2020, he said marc didn't need to switch bikes to prove his greatness. he compared marc to one of his own big rivals, hailwood, in 2019, he spoke with sympathy about marc's switch to ducati at the back end of last year and sounded confident marc could win again (+ here), and made similar comments early this year and likewise was fairly encouraging in may. in 2023, he also spoke about marc's capacity to put on a show. plus, he also said in 2018 that marc and valentino's relationship doesn't matter as long as "they both make us have fun and give us a show", and also that "they do not have to marry". giacomo agostini homophobic dog question mark

a lot of it just seems kinda generic 'legend of the past being nice about the new kid', like say doohan was with valentino but without the mentorship angle. but yeah, ago does seem fonder of marc than he does of marc's contemporaries? with valentino, let's be honest, part of it is that he was the first to really show up and challenge some of ago's records (even steal some of them like premier class wins) - plus he's italian so there's really more direct competition than there is with marc. but y'know, obviously ago's been asked about both of them gunning for his records (generally win number for valentino and title number for marc)

you can read tonal differences into those answers if you so choose, but you can also say he's expressing roughly the same sentiment for both (if you so choose). ago did also joke in early 2020 that he'd beat them both:

(again, this is obviously a joke and I'm not going to read anything into it lol, just thought I'd include it)

ago does have retired athlete talking head syndrome where he does... y'know, have a lot of opinions and has shared quite a lot of those opinions. which... okay, I'm aware this isn't really what this ask was about, but. look. I just have to bring in jorge lorenzo at this point. this is only tenuously relevant, but I think it kinda provides a fun contrast with how utterly drama-free the dynamic between marc and ago is... AND gives some much needed context for how ago was relating to some other star riders of this century

ago and jorge had always gotten on pretty well - and ago joked back in the day that jorge had to stop valentino from getting too many more wins. it is probably worth mentioning that in that 2013 clip I linked to above, all the riders at the presser were asked the 'ago or hailwood' question. in response, jorge, that old simp, essentially went 'actually the goat is valentino'... but that's really isn't about ago as much as it is about jorge's relationship with valentino being *gestures vaguely* complicated. weird. complicated. anyway, look, ago and jorge got on well, had done so for years. then, in may of 2020, shortly after jorge's retirement and with no racing whatsoever going on during lockdown, the two of them got into a PUBLIC SPAT!! (low key between this and the dovi feud picking up again at the end of the year, jorge was really working overtime to make motogp less depressing that year)

the argument was prompted by ago's comments about jorge's time with ducati and honda:

so basically he's saying jorge was mid for three years because his head wasn't in it. which is... a debatable assessment of jorge's 2017-19, but let's just run with it. now jorge obviously isn't the type to just let this kind of thing go unchallenged, so he hit back:

for some reason. jorge's father also got involved, as he has an unfortunate tendency of doing:

(I'm gonna be so real, personally I wouldn't be particularly flattered if one of my parents suggested I could challenge one of my main career rivals 'on my day'. but anyways)

and then mr agostini in turn doubled down and told jorge that 'the truth hurts':

note the bit about how ago had sided with jorge against valentino! it is broadly true that ago has often been very complimentary of jorge, including to the detriment of valentino - and apparently that might have created tension with valentino's team. ago also added the following bit and it's kinda even more brutal:

so basically - ducati didn't pay jorge that much to win three races. funnily enough. jorge did not take kindly to these comments... and then he hit back on instagram (all of this is still in may 2020 btw, literally the only thing we had going for us). here's the text from the post:

jorge lorenzo a proud fellow warrior in the 'it's useless to compare different eras' campaign, saluting a real one

so, after jorge had said that ago doesn't know what he's talking about, that this kind of criticism was 'improper' from a legend like ago... we'd actually finally gotten to the point where ago wanted to clamp down on the controversy. here's what he had to say:

he doesn't want controversy! it's not his fault jorge didn't win! jorge didn't win a title with either ducati or honda! what a shame!

okay, there is arguably a slight difference in rhetoric between saying 'well I can't say he won at honda when he factually didn't!!!' and 'ducati paid him a lot and got nothing out of it' - BUT obviously this was still a bit of an olive branch from ago. unfortunately, we've gotten no updates on whether ago did ever reach out privately, but we did get jorge's response. and jorge... kinda accepts the peace...? but also not really!

so to paraphrase jorge here, he's basically going 'sure fine I'll accept the peace but I also know ago will start the same shit again when he has a microphone in front of him!!' - and also makes it clear that jorge will not shut up about ago chatting shit, unlike those other cowards who just let ago get away with it (including other champions). jorge then goes on to talk about their personal relationship and ago's past support of him:

and then jorge goes on to stridently defend his time with the ducati project - pointing out that, without detracting from what casey had done, it was a very good bike back when casey won the 2007 title:

(yes, obviously there is a rider who was doing rather a lot more with that bike during the same time span as jorge was there - who you'll note jorge very much does not name. I suppose jorge's argument would be that this particular rider had been with the team since 2013. without getting too much into 2017-18 discourse in a post that really isn't about that, it is broadly true jorge just Was Not Clicking with that bike for way too long, but he was running dovi pretty close in 2018 until he got injured at aragon. which is also because dovi was having a pretty ragged first half of the season himself but y'know, six of one half a dozen of the other. also low key those three jorge wins did get during his time at ducati massively flatter how that stretch of his career gets perceived a few years later, but again. this isn't all too relevant. just some historical context!)

and jorge rounds up the whole thing by demanding an actual apology:

and, lastly, here's what ago said in june:

anyway, that's basically it as the public spat went, but it did still give us some nice little gems. you'll note that jorge believes ago was supporting him against valentino - "what I know is that in the duel I had with rossi he wanted me to win races more, for the titles and all that". and then, of course, there's the fun bit where jorge says that ago has also said inaccurate things about valentino before: "because he has also said things about valentino many times that did not correspond to reality". jorge going full 'enemy of my enemy' about valentino on this issue is just extremely him, not least because that is a rivalry where, according to him!! ago basically always was rooting for jorge! and YET jorge's like 'valentino may not speak up on this issue but I!! will!!' I honestly have no clue if there's anything specific jorge's referring to here that ago is getting wrong about valentino... but again ago does have retired athlete talking head syndrome so really it could be anything

what this does do is give us a little bit of confirmation that ago probably isn't the world's biggest valentino rossi fan (obviously, valentino wouldn't let you know that kind of thing so it's great when you've got someone a little more talkative like jorge around). jorge didn't have to bring in valentino here - he did so of his own volition, because he apparently disagreed quite strongly with something ago had said about one of jorge's fiercest rivals. by contrast, there's nothing comparable you can point to with marc... which, given that we've established ago has run his mouth about past champions, would lead you to the conclusion that ago really is a bit of a marc fan. all things considered, ago seems genuinely fond of the little guy! he's never really talked him down, or taken another rider's side against marc! why? ... unfortunately, I have no clue. maybe it is linked to ago's feelings towards valentino, maybe it's completely unrelated and he just likes marc a lot, maybe he's a fan of him as a rider or his personality or something else. there's not really anything to suggest they're particularly close - for instance, I don't think marc has had dinner with ago's family like jorge has - but he generally always seems happy to offer up a lot of marc prop without any qualifications. it just seems like quite an uncomplicated relationship, and given ago's been fairly vocal within the past year about marc's switch to ducati, about how he could win again etc etc... he's perhaps quite enjoyed following that story. mostly, there's clearly just a lot of mutual respect there... and if ago did ever find cause to criticise marc as strongly as he did jorge, well, it's a lot less likely marc would decide to clap back on instagram. that'll help, I suppose

@cataschism ♥'d for a starter!

' marc , you've been m.i.a lately. ' asante's time is precious. if busyness were a state of being , he would be its moniker , its limbs & voice , & he does not appreciate his free time dampened down to a DISTRACTION for another. he's noticed on several occurrences how marc seems to grow distant , how there are even instances were he doesn't behave the same. something beyond asante's understanding is affecting him , & though they've only just begun to deepen their dynamic , to bloom as more than mere friendship , asante has already affixed a responsibility to marc -- a nasty habit of his unconditional loyalty , when EARNED.

  ' -- i like you. but i deserve an explanation. it's been over a week. i am a person who understands being busy , believe me , but i still manage to communicate with you & give you a heads up when i won't be available. i expect the same. ' an inhale , nostrils slightly flaring as the exhale comes thereafter. ' or . . . if that was your attempt at ending things early , that's fine. just have the courage to tell me face to face. ' 

[another-corpo-rat]

Vic x Michiko? I know they’re friends in your canon and I’m honestly desperate to know more about their dynamic. xD (can’t remember if I’ve asked before, sorry)

oml the besties, the co-conspirators-

are you ready for me to ramble? cos im going to- the readmore is a warning tbh

I have 100% considered them as a couple -- a polycule actually tbh, Smasher wedged his way in there as he's wont to do -- and i haven't exactly ruled it out just yet. One of the sticklers for my consideration is Michiko's husband Marc and his position/role in it all, or if i want him alive at all.

The foundations for it is already there, or will be if i ever actually write but yknow,

Victoria and Michiko's companionship starts with a simple basis: the mistrust of Yorinobu Arasaka. I'm operating soundly on headcanon here, but I reckon any corpo worth their lick of salt would feel something in the air before Yorinobu stole the relic; an anticipation, kinda like when your hair stands on end before lightning strikes too close.

For Victoria, Michiko is more appealing than any other of the Arasaka bloodline, and while she holds no love for the family she recognises them as powerful pieces of the board: if change is to happen, it has to be with one of them at the helm. Yorinobu made it clear he held no love for his father and the company in tandem, and Victoria holds something of a grudge after he attempted to have her replaced as Smasher's netrunner. Hanako would be more appealing were she not confined to a compound for most of her adult life - too sheltered, even from the teeth of their own company. Victoria doubts she could solve a conflict if the weight of her family name wasn't enough.

And that leaves Michiko; the black sheep. Once sheltered herself but thrust into the public and Arasaka eye following the death of her father. And while once Victoria did fall for that sweet, naive act that she held up like a shield, it was soundly shattered in her eyes once she learned the girl and Smasher had a thing. Her founding and the success of Danger Gal also raised her quite a bit in Victoria's opinion.

For Michiko, Victoria is another ally in her pocket but perhaps one with more gusto than the rest of the Hato faction - Michiko despises talking ill of her own people, but a majority of them think that her leading them is enough for victory. She knows it is not, and she wasn't going to turn down the opportunity of having a damn good combative netrunner with a direct line into Yorinobu's dealings on her side

Beyond that practical reason, Michiko did just genuinely want to get to know Victoria as well. She was curious of the woman, but noted her aversion to companionship and so wanted to think her approach through carefully - kinda like building trust with a stray cat, done gradually with consistence

Later in Victoria's canon, when Yorinobu is dead and Hanako has retreated to Japan, not quite with her tail between her legs but certainly shaken by the sharp turn taken by the Hato faction, Victoria and Michiko's dynamic become what it would remain if they were to be a couple; the empress and her shadow. Very much a 'they shout my name, yet whisper yours' sort of thing

Michiko doesn't want to destroy Arasaka in the same way her uncle did, reform is enough for her. Rebuilding, restructuring (because unlike her uncle, she doesn't spew moralisms and then turn around and destroy livelihoods with the same self-righteous folly he condemned his father for-) but she's not naive, and she trusts Victoria to reel her in when her ideas border too closely to ideals.

Just as she is there to reel it back when Victoria's suggested methods are a touch too brutal to be acceptable, too much how things used to be done. She understands that force and fear are necessary at times, but the netrunner tends to push it too far; her bloodlust more readily apparent when its not being overshadowed by Smasher - and as much as its a steady cause of conflict between them, it is something that draws Michiko closer to Victoria. she has a thing for danger, she guesses

It would bring them together, already close as they are after planning a coup within a coup - placing an explicit trust that paid off for them both, solidifying their companionship into friendship and then potentially something more

so yes, 10/10. absolutely am considering Michiko as a potential partner for Victoria

quiiiiiicccccheeeeeeeeee

question, or more like more things for u to throw about, because Marc has met future Vale and got to be treated softly and filled with longing (I am in shambles, thank you for asking)

but it did make me think about Vale meeting future Marc and how that would go :)

having a great time with this, u have such a smart fucking nogging on u that destroys me emotionally

BELOVED BOSCH I was having a long think about this and threw this together because you’re right! The dynamic between Marc and older or younger vale is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from older Marc and (in many ways) Present Vale. Much more ouch-y

(Note: I could only find vague references online to the ranch having a few guest rooms for riders to sleep over in so please join me in suspending reality and pretending there is also a private residence that Marc and Vale repurpose for convenience when they want to spend the night there etc ty ❤️)

🕰️

The Valentino standing in the hallway is shaking, not from the cold — it’s a balmy June afternoon in Tavullia, he’s trembling from something else. Dark blistering gaze trained on Marc.

Marc inclines his head, it’s a shame Vale is out with Luca right now preparing for the group coming in later today, he has a feeling this Valentino doesn’t want to spend a single second in Marc’s company. Not that there’s any alternative, he’s not leaving this Valentino unattended just because he’s still in the thick of working through things. He is tempted to call Vale — his Vale, and ask him to turn the car around and come back. Not that he would be much help, Marc is forced to concede, reluctant as ever to cross paths with his younger or older selves if he can help it. But they’re his rules, not Marc’s.

Valentino has made no move to go any further inside beyond the hallway, Marc glances at his watch, Vale and Luca won’t be back for at least another hour. If this younger Valentino, in his forties by Marc’s rough estimate, is waiting for reinforcements he will be waiting for a while yet.

“Do you want something to drink?”

Valentino doesn’t answer, continues to stare coldly at Marc. Marc refuses to be made to feel like the intruder in what Vale has reassured over and over again is his home too.

Just that very morning, Vale woke Marc up by peppering kisses across his face, they discussed where they’d spend Christmas this year. Last year it was Cervera, Vale got a hold of a white wig and fake beard and distributed presents from a hastily repurposed brown hessian sack, the younger kids were in fits of ecstatic laughter but Marc had felt his eyes getting wet for some reason — maybe it was the sight of Vale’s bright blue eyes peeking out from behind a curtain of white curls. It’s hard to say. If they did Christmas in Tavullia this year, Marc insisted, Vale had to promise to dress up again, smiling into his neck at the thought. Luca’s kids are old enough now to enjoy the theatrics of Santa Claus, so there’s that too.

Vale had agreed with a soft laugh. This was only that morning but it feels like a long time ago now, Marc steels himself for a trying afternoon.

“You can stay in the hallway if you like,” Marc offers, keeping his tone neutral, “but I’m going back to the kitchen, you caught me in the middle of the dishes.” Pecco had stopped by that morning and stayed for lunch, he should be halfway to the airport by now otherwise Marc might even consider calling him for back up as well.

Marc doesn’t wait for Valentino’s response, turns and makes his way back to the kitchen. After a beat, he hears footsteps trailing behind him. Marc pays Valentino no mind, resumes methodically rinsing dirty plates and slotting them into the dishwasher rack.

Their meds are stacked neatly on the kitchen table in clear view of Valentino. The hand drawn birthday cards from Luca’s kids are still there too. They don’t keep many photos of each other around here — or back home either, another one of Vale’s rules, trophies all locked in the study back home too. It makes sense, to limit accidental exposure to spoilers when past versions of him land on their doorstep but still, times like this, a part of Marc wants nothing more than to shove a framed photo of them under this Valentino’s nose. As if to say, see, irrefutable proof that you get over this bullshit perceived wrong, so fucking get over it sooner, put us both out of our misery, look how much happiness you are withholding from us — from me.

Marc doesn’t say any of that.

He turns to collect the coffee cups from the kitchen table and at that exact moment Valentino’s eyes zero in his left hand. The thin gold band on Marc’s ring finger.

Marc freezes for a second but doesn’t even know what he’s meant to say, he’s not apologising for anything if that’s what Valentino expects. He gathers up the cups, ring clinking against the porcelain handles.

As he turns back to the dishwasher, Valentino jerks his chin towards Marc’s hand, asks curtly, “does your partner not mind that you’re here?”

Marc presses his lips together, corners upturned, Valentino is too clever to not comprehend the implications of Marc standing in this particular kitchen with a gold ring on his finger, is being deliberately obtuse.

“He doesn’t mind,” Marc says mildly.

Valentino narrows his eyes, must not have liked that answer. “I don’t know what you’re trying to pull here.”

“I’m not trying to pull anything,” Marc says calmly before sliding the dishwasher door closed, which seems to only piss Valentino off more. Maybe Marc is also more annoyed than he realises because he retorts, “you’re in my house,” and immediately knows he shouldn’t have said that.

“This isn’t your house,” Vale spits, like he was just waiting for Marc to slip up so he would have a reason to fight.

Marc can see how he might think that, the decor has changed a little and they repainted last year but there is no inch of the ranch that Valentino wouldn’t recognise with his eyes closed.

“Don’t act like any of this is yours because it’s not, this is my home. The only reason you would be here — is if you have stolen this from me as well.”

He must have been constructing these arguments in his head while Marc was busy loading the dishwasher. Marc’s heart thumps wildly in his chest but the anger is swiftly dissipating, fading into a familiar old ache. Valentino telling himself stories where Marc is always the scheming enemy, as familiar as the feeling of bruising across his ribs.

“Please lower your fucking voice,” Marc keeps his own voice as even as he can.

Luca’s daughter is napping in one of the guest rooms. The baby monitor is perched on the kitchen bench behind the salt and pepper shakers but Valentino has not noticed it yet, Marc has no intention to draw his attention to it. He doesn’t think warning Valentino that he’ll wake the baby will help much with de-escalation.

It’s been a long time since he’s felt this bone deep dread at being in the same room as Valentino. He’d almost forgotten how awful it was, the overwhelming sense that nothing he said would make any difference, would only make Valentino angrier. Because he had already decided that Marc was on the other side of a thick black line he had drawn himself. It’s been a while since he’s this Valentino.

Last week Marc walked out into the yard to find a thirty year old Vale, rosy cheek, in dirt crusted leathers grinning sheepishly. Marc has ushered him inside and into the bathroom as Vale openly studied every nook and cranny he could get his eyeballs on, so this is what it all looks like when it’s finished, Vale had laughed delightedly, and you like it too?

Marc huffed as he nudged Vale towards their private ensuite bathroom, “you should tell the builders to make the ensuite shower bigger,” he had suggested innocently, “it’s hard to fit more than one in there right now.”

Vale’s gaze had sharpened before Marc pointed to the clean towels and shut the bathroom door. When he later invited Marc into the shower with him, to show him what renovations are necessary, Marc happily obliged.

Marc has a feeling that the only place this Valentino will be inviting him is off a high ledge.

He unconsciously twists his ring between his thumb and forefinger. He’d forgotten, that time is not a straight line, that he will always have one foot in the present and the other one swinging like a pendulum between the past and future. And it’s not like he hadn’t realised that one day he might again come across a Valentino who wasn’t happy to see him, he just underestimated exactly how destabilising it would be. How visceral Vale’s resentment still felt.

“I want you to know that I won’t ever forgive you,” Valentino holds his gaze steadily, “there is something — it’s wired into you, a need to bite down and dig your teeth into things, it’s why everything you’ve ever loved has fallen apart in your hands.”

Marc feels twenty two again, like the same hands that held him have once again guided the blade that is piercing his chest clean through. That is the final straw.

Just as Marc is about to say something he knows he’d come to regret, there’s the sound of a car pulling into the driveway. Thank God. Marc’s doesn’t know how his face looks when he hurries past Valentino, making a beeline for the door and flinging it open without even checking, he doesn’t wait for Vale to say anything before gripping onto him. Marc fits his face into the divot between Vale’s neck and shoulder. Breathes in deeply.

His heart is still beating wildly in his chest, in his ears. His face is hot. He body aches, is weighed down by the decades between twenty-two and forty-two to remind him of all that has passed and yet —

“Amore, Marc, what’s wrong?”

Marc doesn’t answer holds onto him so tightly that it must border on painful. It has taken him so long, so much, to get here he will not let go of any of this. Not for time or age or any version of Vale who has fallen out of the sky.

Warm lips press tentatively to the crown of Marc’s head.

Footsteps.

Vale’s entire body tenses, Marc doesn’t look over his shoulder, he opens his mouth and fits his teeth around the curve of Vale’s collarbone but he doesn’t bite down. Vale’s arms wind around Marc, brings him closer. He can feel the shape of Vale’s ring where his hand digs into the base of Marc’s spine.

Early Years and Development of Passion: Growing up in the vibrant and dynamic neighborhood of Manhattan's Upper West Side, Marc Jacobs found himself immersed in a city that pulsated with energy and creativity. Raised by his grandmother, he developed a profound connection to fashion from an early age. His grandmother's impeccable style and influence sparked Jacobs' curiosity and ignited his passion for all things fashionable.

During his formative years, Jacobs' life became a blend of academic pursuits and real-world experiences. As a young student, he balanced his design studies with hands-on work at upscale clothing boutiques after school. These early encounters with the fashion industry exposed him to a spectrum of styles, materials, and techniques, allowing him to develop a keen eye for detail and a unique understanding of the fashion landscape. These experiences served as the foundation for his future success and innovation.

Recognition and Education: Jacobs' talents did not go unnoticed. His creative flair and dedication caught the attention of prestigious institutions. His journey led him to the Parsons School of Design, an esteemed institution known for nurturing and cultivating emerging design talents. At Parsons, Jacobs honed his skills, refined his artistic vision, and gained invaluable insights into the world of design. The education he received laid the groundwork for the groundbreaking work he would later undertake.

Simultaneously, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) recognized Jacobs' contributions and potential. This recognition solidified his status as a promising visionary in the making, setting the stage for his impactful journey ahead.

Nathanaël being with Marc has never been a factor for me. I've never been the type to ship something for reasons external to the ship itself, like because it's gay, because it's canon (or in this case, both), because of my opinions about another ship, or out of spite. Part of me would really like to be able to ship Lukloé because of how salty Astruc is about it, but unfortunately I can't. Point is, the dynamic has to appeal to me on its own merits, and MarcNath really doesn't. I'm just not into it. Or at least, not for the reasons its fans are into it.

For one, they don't really have anything to talk about except for that comic book. If working together on a creative project is all it takes to be relationship goals in this show, Marc could write scripts for Nino's movies, and we know from Horrificator and Origins that Alya is a writer who is really into comics. We could pair up Marc with Nino and Nathanaël with Alya and it'd make just as much sense.

For another thing, what do they even like about each other? Their first interaction was Nathanaël jumping to the world's most nonsensical conclusion and destroying Marc's stuff about it, and we're never given any reason why Marc wanted to be around him after that, probably because there isn't one. Next we see them in Penalteam, Nathanaël doesn't care about Marc's hobby and is basically just complaining the whole time, while Marc tries to drag Nathanaël into doing something he very clearly has no interest in. I haven't seen The Ruler yet, but that one is pretty much the only episode so far where their dynamic seems actually wholesome, which is unsurprising since now they have an external threat to contend with. Extraordinary circumstances create extraordinary dynamics and all that.

So, yeah. If you're here for angst, MarcNath is great, but if you're trying to depict this ship as cute, fluffy, and healthy it ends up being both bland and yikes. It has the exact kind of "I can fix him" energy people like to get mad at ChloNath for.

Which brings me to why I ship ChloNath. Those two are actually very similar characters, and have only become more similar as the show has gone on. They both go for disproportionate retribution in response to real or imagined slights. Both have a massive chip on their shoulder and constantly act like they have something to prove—Nathanaël wants to scare people into not messing with him, and constantly trying to draw attention to herself is one of Chloé's worst qualities. In The Ruler, we learn that they have basically identical family situations with a dictator mom and a spineless, unhelpful dad. Not only that, but them being careless with their secret identity in a moment of emotional pain (caused by their mothers in both instances, no less) ends up drawing the attention of the villain. Nathanaël was also the first character seen trying to defy Hawk Moth, and Chloé is the first character to actually succeed. Yeah, you've heard of "is Nino actually Luka", now get ready for "is Nathanaël actually Chloé". I bring this up, because Chloé has a huge problem with people just not getting her. They either misinterpret her problems so badly that they end up making things worse for her in the long run, or pretend she has no problems in the first place. Nathanaël is perfectly positioned to actually relate to Chloé, and she to him in turn. Chloé has also been shown to go above and beyond the moment someone actually takes the time to level with her, and for Nathanaël, who is really touchy about his trust being taken advantage of, that would mean a lot.

My main Chloé ships are with Nathanaël and XY, and it turns out that both Kurtzberg and Roth are Jewish surnames. I'm starting to think my Chloé has a type.
