#makkaro aetherward

[spicylove4ever]

I present to you all my interpretation of the moment when Makkaro Aetherward becomes a necromancer, breaking free of his chains to go for the kill on those who tormented him...

This one has been planned for a while, but none of the sketches convinced me. I wanted to make a fanart for the part of the chapter when he breaks free and destroys the prison and the Warden, but I after a lot of thought, I found the moment he has his demonic voice for the first time would be the one.

Also there was the design: I used 2002's Count of Montecristo bits of the Chateu D'If to get the idea of how a prissioner would look like, and it fades away all the recognizing traits of Makkaro (long hair and beard that hides the face and all that), so there had to be necromancy playing.

I must say it was painful to draw Makkaro on such conditions, injuried and so thin, but the part where there was magic had the karmic part, so that did some help.

Hey! are you still excepting requests? I know I've already requested one but I just thought of something. Mak comes home to find darling wearing his cloak, thank you

Last one for now! This one will probably end up being pretty short compared to the others. I just kinda burned out on the micro fics with how many I got there's a reason I don't accept requests terribly often

Teeny tiny lil spicy warning!

"Any news?" I asked as the door opened.

Makkaro chuckled as he stepped around the door. "Everything is proceeding as planned, dar—oh," he replied. "Cold, darling?"

I shrugged, drawing his cloak around me a little closer. "Sure, we'll go with that."

Smiling, he stepped up to me. The protection ward slid over my skin before he could reach out and touch me. A habit I'd ingrained into my mind soon after he came back for me. "Well, I suppose the more accurate question is..." He curled his fingers around the edges of the cloak, pulling me closer with a soft smile on his face. "Did you miss me?"

I grinned. "I suppose you could say that," I said.

He ran the back of his fingers down the side of my face. "I missed you too, darling." He leaned close, tugging the edges of his cloak until I was leaning against him. "Even when you delight in teasing me."

"I think it's because I delight in teasing you," I returned, reaching out and hooking my fingers around the collar of his shirt. I dropped my voice to a whisper. "Because I've never been scared of the big, bad, scary, mysterious necromancer."

"You'll never have anything to fear from me," he breathed. "I would never hurt you. I swear to it."

"I know, my love." I tilted closer.

He leaned and met me in the middle. Sharing a long, slow, gentle kiss.

"Welcome home, Makkaro," I whispered.

"I do love hearing you say that." He twisted his grip on his cloak around my shoulders to keep me from stepping away. Not that I was planning on going anyway. "How about I tell Frank not to let anything disturb us for a few hours?"

I smirked at him. "Who's the tease now?"

"Oh, darling, I assure you, I have no intentions of leaving it at teasing."

"Is that a promise?"

"It is." He smiled.

"Should I wear your cloak when you come home more often?"

"I certainly wouldn't be complaining."

I grinned and leaned a bit to the side to call over his shoulder. "Frank! Don't let anyone in for a few hours!"

"You got it, mini-boss! Nyeh-heh-heh!" Frank called back.

Makkaro smirked. "Have I ever mentioned you're beautiful when you're in charge?"

I bounced an eyebrow and bit my lower lip. "This is the first I've heard of it."

"Mm... maybe you can show me more." He pulled me by his cloak into our bedroom and kicked the door shut.

“The Crushing Weight of your Choices”

I originally wanted to do more edits on these but at this point I just want folks to see my full Makkaro cosplay! He was a labor of love and I absolutely loved wearing him to Colossal-con this past June, cant wait to wear him out again for a proper photoshoot or smth one day.

Makkaro Aetherward belongs to @goodboyaudios

Original Mak art by chabibit1 on twitter

I get a little bit more mushy about Mak under the cut. Ignore if you want, hope you enjoy the cosplay nonetheless!

If you want to see more Mak cosplay I post more of him on my tiktok: gayaestheticgoblin

The more my year goes on and I deal with more and more bs in my life as a whole the more I appreciate Makkaro fuckin Aetherward. He was always my favorite GBA character for just being a well written, dapper, lovingly villainous wife lover. But more recently he’s kind of become a source of strength for me.

If Makkaro can survive in a black site for 3 years and all of the shit that happened to him during the course of MotH, then I can survive the shit I’m going through.

He’s a character who has survived so much and still manages to come out the other side. Sure he’s beaten and bruised and damaged all to hell. But he’s still alive, and he still gets to have his happy ending.

I can’t wait till I can get to that.

So Geeb if you actually read this far, thanks for Mak. He means a hell of a lot to me.

[goodboyaudios]

After a lot (not a lot) of research, I found out the Makkaro means sausage in Finnish.🧐

Lol, really? I just thought it was a villainous name! Sausage Aetherward, eh? Now that's a shitpost waiting to happen!

[escapedaudios]

Me @ anyone asking my opinions of Makkaro Aetherward.

[spicylove4ever]

Zed with the "love consultants" for if the Guardian is back in town: Zed: in any case, the Guardian doesn't know anyone around besides Mirrin. Would it be the worse thing ever if I gave a call? Makkaro: no, no, Zedrathaw. I wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. It would be the fourth worst thing. Number one: a super volcano. Number two: that Calamity demon or whatever it was called comes back and destroys it all. Number three: the Piscis family hold a memorial to the Mahan family and they broadcast it to the entire world. Fourth: Zedrathaw gives the Guardian a call. Five: my loving darling spouse here is eaten by a kraken. Darling: I am said spouse, and I approove the order of that list. Zed: Kindra?! Darling: Zed, the Guardian could be your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-greatgrandparent!

Post GBA's Magic of the Heart headcanons.

When Zed told Mirrin the whole thing, that was for Mirrin a green light for teasing for letting the oportunity on a silver plate to kiss the Guardian go. He laughted so much about his own jokes without a care of the pain on his battle injuries.

The Guardian kept the Archangel plushie for the memento of the date with Zed.

Among the baggage the evil couple took with them to their new land of residence, there are all the sharp objects they used and will still use in case any weird visit shows up.

Makkaro and Giene made an honorary grave for Frank on their new backyard.

The Piscis family found a way to use the news of Makkaro's downfall for their political gain. Those statements on the newspaper were received with lots of cursing words in 3 different locations (Mirrin at his place: the f"/$ did you even do you good-for-nothing snobs! Zed somewhere: what is this? that's not how it happened! How could you even use the Guardian's name here in vain you.... you.... uhm... freaks! Gienne: YOU F+#&ING LYING BASTARDS!!! F+·& YOUR FACES! F+#& YOUR STUPID DYNASTY!! Makkaro: (just stares at Gienne with a mix of awe and shock as the swearing goes on for long minutes)).

Zed has now mixed feelings whenever he finds himself close of any graveyard because it reminds him of Makkaro's undead and their master as well. So he is reminded of plenty of traumatic skeleton attacks but also a necromancer he chewed up and then set loose an angry god to.

Gienne has no kill count, but that could change now that she's one of the main deffenses of the house.

Zed takes breaks from traveling either for family visiting or because Mirrin has invited him to watch wingball matches. Mirrin has a break of his duties this way and now he has a friend to go with.

Gienne has threatened her husband with slip a sleeping drug on his food if he ever overworks again, which he secretly is grateful for since those make you sleep with no dreams and the memories start to catch up and now he can't vent those with violence...

Frank would haunt the couple anytime they have a fight. Mak would be trying to sleep in the couch and then he hears echoes of "I told you", "that's rough, buddy" or even laugh is it was something he considers funny. Also would haunt them randomly XD.

Zed accidentally found the Aethewards having a date on a restaurant and since none could pretend they didn't see each other they had to kidnapp Zed since Gienne knows he's awful lying to his memories about their location. It took time because Makkaro had to teach Gienne how to cast the spell, to the point Zed had an akward "visit" at their house for days and they had lots of catch up. (Zed: you know, it's weird, but it's still good to see you again, Kindra. Gienne: thank you, Zed, that is so nice, but we're still erasing your memories. Zed: ow.)

[spicylove4ever]

Darling being mad at Makkaro being like: Darling: (sweet voice) Makkaro! Dinner is ready! Makkaro: did you... did you make any for me? Darling: (still sweet voice) no, but it's your favourite!

[spicylove4ever]

Zedrathaw VS Maggreos(ghost version): Maggreos: we have settle this. Zed: I agree. The two of us being around at the same time has made the Guardian hide with that so called "girls' outting" with Kindra. I mean, it's not like they totally dislike each other, but Kindra is married to the Guardian's former tormenter! Maggreos: yes. So if we are going to fight over Raze we have to do it the right way. The honorable way.

(later that afternoon) Makkaro: (walks in to Zed vs Maggreos having a duel on a Yuh-Gi-Oh type card game but on regular board size) Zed: (his card-creature knocks up Maggreos') take that! Maggreos: (to his monster-card) come on, get up! Zed: it's down! I win! Ha! Nature selection at work! Makkaro: I weep for humanity.

[spicylove4ever]

If Zed and Mirrin are captured when they try to rescue the Guardian: Zed: you can't keep us here! Makkaro: you poor innocent wizard, if you are still alive is because I allow it. Do not take that for granted. Mirrin: I get you have imprisioned me and the captain, but why Zed? He's inconsecuential to you! Makkaro: he has a mouth and a tongue. Guardian: (some cells away) then why keep him alive? Makkaro: ...

The previous day: Darling: ok,that's it! I could take holding the Guardian captive, but you're definitely not killing my possible surrogate young brother. If you're anything less than a teddy bear stuffed with cotton candy and rainbows WITHOUT good reason, I will silent treatment your great ass into the ground. Makkaro: (half scared and half confused because of the slipped compliment) Darling: You'll think the time you interrupted bed time because you had some minor breakthrough was a freaking picnic! Are we clear?! Makkaro: ...sweetie, there are many different- Darling: ARE WE CLEAR?! Makkaro: allright! Darling: (starts walking away) Makkaro: you know, it's kind of ironic that you now- Darling: (throws a pastry to his face)

Back to present: Makkaro: (lying) I just feel like it.

[spicylove4ever]

Darling finding out about Makkaro's close to death condition like:

Darling: (finds Makkaro sleeping on a desk, heavy on painkillers) Makkaro?

Makkaro: (wakes up and puts heart eyes) DaaaAAARrling......~~~~ (falls on the flor) Hi. Hey, hey, where did you get four heads? I wanna kiss them. (reachs out to her face still on the floor making smooching sounds)

Darling: FRANK! WHAT THE HELL DID I MISS?!

[spicylove4ever]

A quiet early morning at some water source in the middle of the Cimitaria desert road, with a lone merchant minding his own business: Merchant: (whistles random song while giving water to his riding animal) Fresh out of jail Makkaro: (hardly walks to the water, covered in dust, and pushes the man to the side) get out of my way. (dives the whole head into the water to drink and refresh his head) Merchant: wait, you can't do that- Makkaro: (hisses menancily and keeps drinking the water) Merchant: 0_O ok... Makkaro: (gasps of air after getting the head out of the water, relieved) ..... where is Edge Falls? Merchant: (points to the opposite direction Makkaro was walking from)about ten miles that way. Makkaro: (groans frustrated and starts walking away) Merchant: whoa, man, take it easy! What happened to you? Makkaro: .... in laws.

[spicylove4ever]

Makkaro Aetherward picking a fight with everyone on MotH.

This is just hypothetical, just for fun, and I will not add fights that have already happened like when he slaughtered the Warden.

Makkaro Vs The Guardian/Raze (the aftermatch, because we didn't get to see the right-after-the-fight).

Makkaro Vs Mirrin

I'm aware Mirrin is a half dragon, not an hydra.

Makkaro Vs Zed (what happened on the most recent chapter is more like a confrontation and verbal fighting)

Makkaro Vs Kayble Piscis (this one is more desire for Karma than joking around)

Makkaro Vs Shee Mahan

Yes, in this hypothetical escenario, Frank would be Panic XD

Makkaro Vs Frank

What do you mean this is not exactly like when they were arguing who would be punished when they got captured?

Makkaro Vs Shee Khan

So I feel like there's a chance Makkaro would survive depending on whether Shee Khan decides to just defeat instead of going for the kill or if Makkaro is good dodging big creature's attacks.

Makkaro Vs Darling/Gienne

I have the feeling the way Makkaro was going he would have totally forgot. XD

[spicylove4ever]

If Makkaro and Darling have a kid (adopted, biological or however): Kid: Dad, what do you think the meaning of life is? Makkaro: uhm, now that's a tricky one. I guess it would be (enter rage mode) CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES, SEE THEM QUIVER BEFORE YOU, AND HEAR THE LAMENTATION OF THOSE WHO KNOW THEY ARE NEXT. (back to normal voice) Or having a family, it's pretty much the same. Kid: 0_O

[spicylove4ever]

Makkaro: after defeating Maggrios, you've done nothing but hide for 300 years, you coward. Guardian: I do that. Sometimes. When I'm upset. And you'd be upset too if your ex left you for power hunger! Makkaro: no, I'd be RELIEVED if Maggrios left me.
