the statement giver in mag 58 is very adamant that she is not going to give in and eat her husband, but I do think there's a possibility that she did, given a) that her unsigned letter she meant to leave in a cave in the middle of winter on the oregon trail ended up in jonah magnus's personal collection presumably not too long after she wrote it, and b) that the flesh avatar in mag 18 also has the last name carlisle, which feels like a bit too strong of a connection to be a coincidence. I also wonder about her husband a bit, and whether something in his mysterious backstory made him susceptible enough to the flesh that it took over his body after he died.

#tma #marina marvels at life #something something the flesh and reproduction #the statement giver and benjamin got married explicitly because more land was being given to married couples #presumably to encourage populating and overtaking recently stolen territories #there's a very practical and physical feeling to it. we tied ourselves to each other because the powers that be favor breeding pairs.#and then she keeps him alive on trail for months and his corpse offers to keep her alive in return #hmm.
