#they ARE waging proxy wars AND theres vale involved and pecco went after the baby brother. AND the title fight next year

[moonshynecybin]

obviously we cannot know but i trust your expertise so i will ask anyway: do you think marc cares about the accusations pecco threw alex’s way after misano even though pecco apologised and took it back afterwards? or does he remember still like a particularly predatory elephant and will use it as fuel to destroy pecco next year. i’m kind of on the fence about it

i think he's baseline motivated to eat pecco's heart in the marketplace and then mount his head on his brutalist house's spartan white wall as some sort of fucked up trophy yeah. that's just how he is on a fundamental level. AND theres this subtext to the whole thing where i think he knows that pecco maybe only blamed alex specifically bc it was politically unadvantageous to ALSO pin marc for their portimao clash and he needed a scapegoat in his brain to feel confident going into the closing stages of the title fight... like genuinely marc is obsessed with his baby brother, so theres no way he doesnt fucking remember that and catalog it in his brain as a suprise tool to help us later etc imo. but all that being said, i do marc is invested in keeping things calm in the garage and chill in the eyes of the press, AND additionally i get the vibe that hes just a guy that will match your energy interpersonally. he's a mirrorball. so pecco goes after alex and marc will stand up for him bc hes not a pushover and he loves his brother, but after it all blows over he'll go back to being friendly and cordial in public because thats what best serves everyone involved and because hes not going to be a dick in the face of pecco's exhaustively polite little attempts at small talk
