Magyk Characters as Onion Headlines Part 1

chess tips from your local five hundred year old man

[septimus-heap]

Marcellus is literally the most transgender character ever. It fits so well narratively. In any direction too!!! Transmasc marcellus who knows it's probably the only reason he wasn't killed. Transfem marcellus who doesn't transition for literal centuries out of fear. Nonbinary marcellus who can fit into either of those!! So much to choose from

Heartbreaking: 500 year old opportunistic kidnapper is a huge mood

[jughead-is-canonically-aroace]

marcellus pye is gay. yeah i know he had a wife. yeah no it wasn't a lavender marriage they were in love. sometimes gay marriage is between a lesbian and a gay man. don't worry about it

[flammableengineering]

Which Septimus Heap character most deserves to say Fuck?

[solitary-bones]

in honor of pride month: some queer head canons for septimus heap characters!!

Septimus (first of course): aroace king! he is so the type to just have a bestie moment with jenna and beetle and just hang around them all the time but never need something for himself. He just reallyyyyyy likes learning about magyk and going on adventures with his friends!! (also the apprentice and extraordinary wizard colors are green and purple so like..)

Jenna: huuuuuuge bi energy (shout out to that scene from darke 👀). she just gives huge idgaf energy.

Beetle: with a name like this he is not cisgender. bro has the most he/they energy. Both my brother and I lovee this lil guy.

there's nothing heterosexual or cisgender about this image. Also he gives huge bi energy. I think he's in a qpr with septimus while having his bi4bi with Jenna.

Marcia: the lesbian parental figure to ever. I don't have thoughts besides that this woman is not straight in any way.

Milo: polyamorous and asexual. This guy probably loves a lot of his higher ups in his crew. Why else would he be so chill being at sea all the time?

Lucy: demisexual & demiromantic (doesn't really know her attraction past that because she's only ever been into Simon). big she/they energy

Alice Nettles: any pronouns nonbinary and pan

Alther: just queer, bro does not like labels

Zelda: aromantic and lesbian. She'd probably drop something to septimus or wolf boy being like yeah when I was younger I was very popular with the ladies at the port. and they'd just be like :0

Marcellus: bro is so homosexual. The gay man to ever. good for him honestly. But he is such a hermit and introvert he really doesn't make many connections or have any meaningful relationships ://

Merrin: totally trans fem. she is so uncomfortable and emo about having to present as a guy and have a name she doesn't like that she gets into darke stuff to cope. credit to @septimus-heap for this post and pointing this out to me, you make a good point.

Wolf Boy: very aroace furry energy. also I feel nonbinary with some neopronouns to do with being raised by wolves and feeling like one of them. I also feel like being keeper of keeper cottage kinda requires a person to be aromantic because you're literally not allowed to get married so it's way better this way. Also probably in a qpr with septimus but yk it's pretty long distance so doesn't always work. but when they do get together bro is it lit.

Sam Heap: Ace and gay. Bro was sooooo confused about why the other forest heaps were so enamored with the wendron witches. He just really likes fishing.

and to finish it off strong

Jim Knee: canonically nonbinary gender fluid. Also the most gender nonconforming and outwardly queer person represented honestly. He's very flamboyant in his current appearance and iteration which is iconic. And I think it's really funny he just decided to be a guy because Merrin called him Jim Knee so he just went with it.

ID: a digital drawing of marcellus pye. He is a young man with brown skin and dark brown hair, and is wearing a red tunic with gold embroidery and a black, high collared cloak. He has 3 gold rings on his left hand, one on his middle finger and two on his index finger. His hair is held in a ponytail by a gold band. In one hand he is holding a cup of bright green liquid, and with the other he is adding glowing blue drops to it with a pipette. He is holding the cup over the end of a table, and the background is a bookshelf with diamond patterned glass doors. /end ID

Marcellus <3 what's he doing?? Idk <33 but it looks cool

[bubbles-txt]

So I decided to record the amount of times each character appears/is mentioned in Physik

I suggest you click on the image if you want to see what's going on down there...

And I also made a pie chart (appearances only)

There are 143 characters in Physik if you count Etheldredda's servants and the fishermen as one character

Also, this was heavily inspired by this post ⬇️ in which something similar is done with the characters of magyk

[alchemisticramblings]

a whole lot of pyes

i need to draw him more

[septimus-heap]

I think marcellus should get to keep his grey old man hair when he turns young again I think it would be funny i think he'd hate it

[the-great-alchemist-disaster]

Reading The Magykal Papers and apparently Marcellus was regent for like 9 years?? This man was in charge of a city for almost a decade I am Laughing

[jadenightthewriter]

ID: a digital drawing of a young marcellus pye, a boy with brown skin, dark eyes and black hair that reaches just past his ears. He is wearing a red tunic with gold trim and embroidery, a dark red undershirt with gold embroidery, black trousers and red shoes with gold details that curl up at the toes /end ID

[qwillreign]

Are you still taking requests? Because a marcellus and simon snippet would be fun

a marcellus and simon snippet, you say? spoilers: it's sad :)

Being alone. That was the common theme in Marcellus's life. While he had a wife, he could never see her. While he had a sister, he could only hide her. While he had a mother, he could only hide from her.

When he no longer had his family, all he could do was hide from the world. And then the boy came. The first one, young and hopeful, moved so quickly in and out of Marcellus's life, in and out of Marcellus's home. they had had dealings, plenty, in a time long gone. But now, as before, there was a space between them. The space of time, experience, and pain.

The second was older, and just as jaded, albeit in a different way. They had both gone through pain, but this boy needed a role model. The other had already had one. Marcellus would no longer have to fight with Madam Marcia for Septimus's affection. Simon was his apprentice, and they didn't have to hide from anybody. Simon was diligent. He was inquisitive and thoughtful. He understood what it was to be the firstborn, and what it meant to protect the younglings, just as Marcellus had. He was so grateful to have a purpose, and Marcellus was so grateful to provide one to him. He had made mistakes, yes, but so had Marcellus. Simon should not have made DomDaniel alive. But Marcellus should not have kept himself alive either.

With time, the two would be even more in sync, as Simon's knowledge of alchemy grew, and Marcellus's was gradually restored. they would work great feats, keep alive the Great Fyre, and protect their great Castle. Eventually, they worked, no longer as two parts, but as a singular pair. Marcellus was no longer alone. He had Simon, and by extension, Lucy, their children, and the entire Heap family were his friends.

And yet, Marcellus mourned. Eventually, Simon too would pass. Soon, he would be alone again.
