Haven't posted in a while, but something that was really bugging me a lot was some shit I noticed when rewatching the Moon Knight series that I think a lot of comic book fans could relate to. I know, Mr " um actually " comic book guy is talking right now but imma need you all to bare with me here for a second. and before any of you start typing, please remember everything said here is MY opinion. All I ask is that you're respectful. I'm going to start of with how I don't understand the hype around this motherfucker.
Tumblr media
Literally the most whiniest mf in the ENTIRETY of the MCU. The only people who can like or tolerate this bitch are mfs who have 9 hours of daily screen time on TikTok, listen to hyperpop music and think that he's a soft uwu meow meow baby girl hurt emo princess boy.
Moon Knight is literally one of the most metal superheros out there and the directors saw that and said, " now imagine that but we make his woman so much better than him and water him down and completely change his back story and then wipe our asses with it, spit on it and then pretend we were trying to show representation. " Like what the fuck are you fucking doing?
My first problem is that I felt like this show focused too much on Layla and her relationship to Marc... Nvm, Sorry I lied. Not Marc, fucking STEVEN. This show isn't about " Layla ", its about MARC and Steven and JAKE. (I'll talk about Jake later) Like can we just... " Are you an Egyptian superhero? " " I am. 🥺" GIRL BYE 💀💀 this part of this show was so bad it made eternals look good. This was cringe on the level of seeing your mother do a dab. All that episode 6 was about was Layla kicking ass and that's it. I don't understand why Kevin Feige has the urge to make everything about badass women. Like theres ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with that, I love badass women and we need more women superheros, but I'm just saying, I came here to watch MOON KNIGHT not Layla El-faouly.
So funny how they make a show about Marc Spector and he only gets like 20 minutes out of the 6 hours of the entirety of the show. I think the most time he got on screen was like episode five and maybe two but that's about it. It felt like he was only there to make things depressing and to make Steven Grant have better character development because he himself is just so fucking boring and not funny. Marc Spector is so much more than " I got hit as a kid and my alter ego is fucking my ex wife. " He's a Jewish antihero struggling with a personality disorder that's eating his life away and a toxic relationship with a man who's been basically lying, emotionally abusing, and manipulating him since his CHILDHOOD. What I love most about Marc Spector is that he's not like all other these mighty superheros, he's just some dude. He just some dude with real human struggles like you and me, trying to figure himself out and navigate through his disorder. Marc should have had a bigger role in this show but I guess Steven Grant and Layla were more interesting than him. Steven is the main course, Layla is the desert and Marc is the salad off to the side that's barley been eaten.
Steven Grant is not a shy British man with great manners who works in a gift shop and is giving in his moms flat, he's a savvy millionaire ( who's from Chicago, Illinois, so as Marc and Jake ) who works in the film industry and lives in a mansion. Those are two completely different characters. Everyone that I've seen who's criticized Steven in the slightest has said that he was bland, boring, and the producers were trying too hard to make him funny. You can't try to have something that's just straight up sad happening with a character and then pretend that it's funny and try to make it into comedy. That's just not how it works and it's not realistic. That's why movies like The Crow are good and movies like Renfield are bad. The Crow takes itself seriously and is genuinely sad but lightly sprinkled with comedy, Renfield wanted to be a bit sad, but ruined itself by trying to hard to make every scene funny.
The only good scene in this entire show is the scene where Marc says, " you are you the only real superpower I ever had " or whatever the fuck. I didn't pay attention because all I could think about was the scene from frozen where Anna fucking froze and Elsa cried about it and then unfroze her with her tears or something. I guess her tears must have been really hot.
What I'll give Muhammad Diab credit for is casting. Having Layla be Egyptian is good, and having Oscar Isaac casted as Marc is also really good. Everyone In the comics is white for a character normally centered around Egyptian bullshit. They also got Khonshus personality right and that's about it.
I hate how the producers said that this show was all about " representation" and then didn't add Frenchie, who is a gay french guy in it or Bushman who is a black mercenary because he was " too much like Killmonger " ( which doesn't make any fucking sense because they are drastically different on so many levels but okay. ) they also said that this show is they're most brutal and violent show yet, but they were " violent " ( and bloody-ish ) the first three episodes and then just kinda gave up towards the end.
For the last thing, I'm gonna talk about Jake finally. Just pretend that I'm sighing right now. Like a really audible, dramatic sigh.
I get they wanted for us to differentiate the differences between each personality with accents but Jake doesn't need to speak Spanish. He doesn't speak Spanish in the comics and having him do it is completely unnecessary. I get it's Hollywood and Hollywood needs to make everything sexy and attractive, but Jake Lockley is the least sexiest alter of Marc Spector. He doesn't wear a suit with black leather gloves or drive a limousine, he's a fucking taxi cab driver with a really weird mustache who wears a turtle neck. When I think sexy, I don't think taxi driver. And it ruins the point of Jake Lockley as well because Marc uses Jake to see what's going on on the streets in New York. New York is really busy and crowded, so people are more prone to using a taxi, not a limousine unless you're bougie and rich.
Anyways that was my rant. Good night.

Comedy of Errors (MK Spring Bingo #3)
Tumblr media
Steven Grant x GN!Reader
cross-posted to ao3
tags: theater kid slander (affectionate), amateur references to Shakespeare, steven and reader teach high school, no use of y/n
wc: 1,341
fic summary: The course of true love never did run smooth. And neither does the play you watch unfold.
A/N: as a recovering theater kid, this was a fun one. enjoy!
_____________________
It's poor etiquette to laugh. Right?
How you ended up sitting in a high school theater on a Sunday afternoon, you have no idea. Well, that's not true: you never can say no to your favorite students. When they begged you to come to their closing matinee, you had no choice but to cough up the ticket money (with no faculty discount, to add insult to inconvenience).
So here you are, seated in the darkened auditorium, watching what could only be described as chaos unfold on your school's professional-grade thrust stage.
In the lobby you'd heard whispers of how last night's cast party had gotten a bit too rowdy, rendering a few upperclassmen unable to attend their final performance. It didn’t matter what circle you ran in at their age: you’d learned years ago that a “mysterious illness” following any high school party probably isn’t the flu.
Thankfully there were enough students to fill in the missing principal roles, but with only the morning to prepare, it’s a wonder they've gotten through each scene. Draped in ill-fitting costumes with scripts in hand, the students have tried their best to piece together one last staging of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. All you know about this play is that it’s a comedy, but you don’t think you’re supposed to laugh at every blunder and mishap.
(It’s very hard not to.)
Across the house you see Mr. Grant, one of the younger teachers on campus, whose face mirrors how you feel. He’s probably trying for a look of statuesque stoicism, but all he's managed to pull off is mild bewilderment.
You haven’t spoken to your coworker much– mainly because there’s rarely a moment where he’s without another colleague talking his ear off or hanging on every word of his (admittedly delicious) accent. He’s a newer hire, having come from London to teach a few history courses but was moved to the literature department the moment your principal saw the top of his resume. The modern education system, ladies and gentlemen.
The man is dressed to impress: black turtleneck under a sharp tweed ensemble, his usually wild curls tamed a bit as they grace his forehead, he certainly looks the part of a private school instructor. But there’s no denying the entirely unserious look on his face: he is one blunder away from losing his cool.
You don’t realize how long you’ve been staring until his bright brown eyes connect with yours. In an instant you understand why so many students doodle his name in the margins of their notebooks: his exasperated stare has you instantly weak.
–which is poor timing, given the scene unfolding onstage between you. An unrehearsed kiss goes wrong, and the two of you slap your hands over your mouths to subdue your laughter.
The rest of Act I goes the same way. You try to follow along, but every so often your eyes drift to Mr. Grant white-knuckling his way through the rough performance. When your eyes connect again (and again, and again) you both struggle to contain your laughter. Knowing that tears are likely stinging your colleague's eyes the same as yours makes you feel like less of an ass.
The curtain closes for intermission and you rest your head in your hands. How is this only half over?
“Bit of a rough watch, yeah?”
Your head snaps up– those brilliant brown eyes widen at your expression, now only one row of seats between the two of you.
“Mr. Grant–”
“Steven,” he says quickly, offering his hand. You take it and smile.
“Steven,” you begin again, giving your name in return. “I don’t mean to be rude, but aren’t some of these kids–”
“–in my Shakespearean Studies course? Quite a few, really.” He laughs, rubbing the back of his neck. “But we’ve focused more on the historical tragedies. Don’t think a textbook can teach comedic timing.”
“Oh, I've laughed plenty.” You fidget with your program and look back to the stage. “At least they’re trying their best, I’m sure part of you is proud.”
Steven’s smile grows as he shakes his head. “I’ll be honest, it’s nice to know they’ve looked at the material for once.” He leans in. “Last week I asked them where the phrase ‘double, double, toil and trouble’ came from, and someone said Harry Potter.”
You laugh out loud for the first time all evening. It feels nice to not hide it. You miss how Steven takes in the sight of you, as well as his loss for words when you calm down.
“I have a confession to make,” you say hoarsely, wiping a tear from the corner of your eye. “I have no idea what’s supposed to be happening. I’m lost as hell.”
“Maybe I could–” he trips over his words and his feet as he clambers around the seats to sit next to you. “Maybe I could help you out. Bit of an expert, myself. What they pay me for, and all–”
“Sure,” you stop him with a smile. “I’d like that.”
He breathes a sigh of relief and settles in. Pulling out a pair of reading glasses, he opens his program.
“Right. So, A Midsummer Night’s Dream…”
The rest of your intermission is spent receiving a crash-course in William Shakespeare. You’re amazed at how he spouts the most minute details about recurring symbolism, character motivations, and even the historical context of the play up until the lights dim and the show resumes. You squeeze his forearm to silently suggest taking a break, and he chokes down whatever factoid was about to tumble out next.
Maybe it’s because the students have found their footing. Maybe your mini-lecture has filled in the gaps so you can better follow along. Or maybe it’s the sight of Mr. Grant– Steven– sitting beside you, rapt attention on the stage as his readers slide down his nose each time he laughs and leans in to explain the joke, drawing closer and wafting his subtle cologne your way between still-too-loud whispers. Whatever the reason, you’re enjoying the second half of this show much more than the first.
The play draws to a close with a happy ending. One of the fae characters comes downstage to address the audience as the rest of the cast departs.
“If we shadows have offended,
Think but this and all is mended:
That you have but slumbered here
While these visions did appear…”
“Star pupil, that one,” Steven whispers once more. “Deserves every bit of the spotlight.”
You squeeze his arm again, this time not moving your hand or looking his way. You both take in the last words of the performance in dazed silence.
“...Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.”
With that, the fairy bows and the stage fades to black.
The audience erupts into applause as the cast returns onstage. You and Steven cheer and swap last-minute quips about the performance as the standing ovation thunders around you.
You exit the auditorium together and are immediately swarmed by a handful of students– some yours, some his– who eagerly await your feedback. You each congratulate the cast, getting them to sign your programs to commemorate the day.
Finally you’re able to break away and step into the brisk evening air.
“Well that was… something,” you laugh.
Steven grins as he fastens his coat. “‘Least they’ll be tuckered out in first period, yeah? Might get a bit of peace tomorrow morning.” He pulls something out of his pocket and hands it to you. “Sorry, don’t want you to leave that behind. Could be worth something someday.”
You take your folded program back from him. “Oh, I'm sure.”
With an awkward wave, Steven steps back. “Right. Well, see you around.”
“See you, Steven.”
You turn to head toward your car. As you walk, you unfold your program to see a new signature on the back page, followed by a phone number.
Let me know if you need any more Shakespeare translated. I’m fond of the love poems, myself ;)

#steggyweek22 - day seven (belated) - free choice
peggy can’t say she wasn’t warned. 
the official secrets act had prevented most of it thus far. but time marches on, as they say, and she’s now part of the historical record. and...there’s an exhibit. her first, a rite of passage among those like her. angie is an urban legend in her own right, and she’s tickled by the podcasts and the museum exhibits and the movies that try and fail to capture her many, many lifetimes. jarvis maintains his legendary stiff upper lip in the face of the conspiracy theories about his supposed time traveler status, while ana tries to get them in the background of as many photos as possible. peggy, as the newest of the lot, knows she should be proud of her tradecraft, since so little of her exploits have been uncovered (or linked to her, anyway), but really she’s just annoyed. the audacity of this museum and this curator to commit such lies and slander to plinth? well, she’s stayed undercover for this long for a good reason - she’s very good at what she does, and she knows how to mess with someone’s head. time to teach this steven grant rogers a thing or two.
steve will deny it under pain of death - but he’s always had a bit of a crush on agent peggy carter. he’s not the first historian to become a tad infatuated with a person they’re studying, but his level of regard (read: obsession) since doing his master’s thesis on the role of women in the post-war intelligence community is borderline concerning. which is why he was so excited to curate this exhibit on women in espionage for the international spy museum. and why he is afraid to admit...he’s pretty sure he’s being haunted. by peggy carter. or at least, someone who has her handwriting and feels very strongly about inaccuracies in his exhibit. there’s so little that’s known about her - born in hampstead in 1921, lied about her age to join the war effort, was seconded to the ssr, set up shield before going missing in action in 1951 - and steve did his best to represent her accurately in this new exhibit, but clearly someone objects to the historical record. strenuously.
through increasingly passive-aggressive sticky notes left on the museum labels, unsigned letters to the editor in the washington post, a series of anonymous twitter threads lambasting the museum, and a trove of handwritten notebooks mysteriously dropped in steve’s home mailbox, he begins to better understand who peggy carter was, and wishes more than anything that he could meet her for real. he begins to respond to the sticky notes and the twitter threads, hoping that he’ll find a relative or an old friend who can fill in the blanks that still remain.
is he in for the shock of his life...
or, a sitcom au where a (relatively) young immortal peggy carter trolls museum curator steve rogers

Why is Liana Kerzner so obsessed with slandering Emily Schooley?
Since I've had a few of Liana's flying monkeys repeatedly try unsuccessfully to convince others that I am someone other than who I am, I am making this follow-up post to address the lies being spread by a jealous, malignant narcissist, which are a form of damage control, meant to deflect from and conceal her own abusive actions.
First, it's important to take note that Liana and her husband Steven like to blame literally EVERYONE who criticizes them on secretly being Emily, any time the person isn't posting under a handle they recognize. But what is more likely? That ONE single person would spend 15+ years obsessively spreading hate and lies on the internet, or that Liana has caused harm to MANY people over the years and that these multiple, independent accounts of abusive actions by Liana and Steven Kerzner are true?
Now, some facts. Emily Schooley is a successful working actor and filmmaker in her own right - and that information is 100% independently verifiable, even if Emily hasn't yet had a lot of public recognition or press for her work. For example, Emily is affiliated with the Canadian Film Centre. She has received multiple grants from the Canada Arts Council. A couple minutes spent searching this information will give reliable third-party evidence, and I imagine these are pretty substantial organizations in Canada that are hard to get into.
Given that Liana's own television career tanked spectacularly in the mid-late-aughts, and that Liana herself has acheived very little notable recognition or success without riding her husband's coattails or playing victim for attention while attacking someone more famous (Katee Sackhoff, Anita Sarkeesian, Hasan Piker, etc) it's not a far stretch to think she might be just a wee bit jealous of a younger redhead who was being cast in feature films and stage plays when Liana and Emily were supposedly IRL friends. Not to mention the number of times that Liana has since disparaged Emily as an "aspiring" actress, pretending that Emily only had unpaid extra work to her name when in reality Emily has a pretty robust IMDB credit page with a substantial variety of projects.
There's also the fact that Emily has provided multiple receipts across multiple forms of media that concretely prove Liana is lying about her. This here truthbomb is the big one, because anyone who takes literally five seconds to look at this information can see who is telling the truth here. Example: Liana claimed that Emily's ex (who is a friend of Liana's, fyi) had never been abusive. Meanwhile, Emily's ex himself admits openly in a text conversation to physically assaulting her, saying "I choked you because…" BIG YIKES.
Liana has also accused Emily of doctoring her receipts, meanwhile Liana only provided partial screencaps if any while Emily has provided both the full screencaps AND a video AND photos which would be a lot harder to fake. You see, narcissists will often accuse the other party of doing what they themselves have done as a means of deflecting from their own bad behaviour. Not to mention that it was only AFTER Emily started talking about her struggles with PTSD that Liana suddenly claimed to have PTSD as well. This is Liana playing the victim and DARVOing yet again, another thing that narcissists do when their bad behaviour is challenged or exposed to others.
Liana herself has also admitted (on video! on her Youtube channel!) that she is a violent and vindictive person, she even admits to physically assaulting her supposed best friend on prom night, for example. So, unless this information was another lie, Liana also has an established pattern of behaviour of attacking other women for perceived slights, going back many years. It's not a far stretch to assume that Liana did the same thing to Emily in this situation, but using toxic gossip and slander instead of physical violence. Given that Emily has been quite open, transparent, and vocal about holding the Kerzners accountable for the way they treated her and what went down between them, it's no wonder Liana has worked overtime to spread lies about Emily and ruin her reputation, because the one thing narcissists hate the most is having their bad behavior exposed to the wider public.
Now, my own reasons for posting about Liana as I have been are largely because I don't want to see her preying on and causing harm to more vulnerable people, like those in the trans and neurodivergent communities, as she is now soliciting people into paying for her "not therapy wink wink nudge nudge" bullshit. (Meanwhile, Liana is a university dropout with no professional credentials in this area, just fyi).
And, until Liana takes full accountability for the past harms she has caused to others and has apologized accordingly for her actions, I will continue to tell other people about her abusive and harmful behaviors as and how I see fit.
If Liana Kerzner didn't want her despicable and abusive narcissistic behaviours made known publicly, then she should have treated people better in the first place or take some actual accountability for once. 🤷‍♀️

The Ketchup Debate [Stucky]
This was betrayal. This was terrible. Bucky just witnessed Steve putting a huge blob of ketchup on his latke. He gasped audibly. 
"Everything alright, Buck?" Steve asked with a cheeky grin. 
"Where did you get that ketchup?" Bucky said, narrowing his eyes. "You can use any topping on your latkes except this." 
"I don't know, Buck, I quite like ketchup," Steve said. "It's better than sour cream." 
Betrayal. Absolute betrayal. 
"Steven Grant Rogers," Bucky said gravely, "I cannot believe I married a man who would slander sour cream like this." 
"It's because I'm cute. It lets me get away with things," Steve said. 
"You are lucky that you are cute," Bucky admitted. He paused. "But I still won't forgive this slander easily. Ketchup. Ketchup of all things." 
Steve dipped another latke into ketchup. Bucky grabbed a latke too and dipped it into sour cream. He took a huge bite. He was right. Sour cream was much better. Steve made a face at him and took a big bite of his latke too. Bucky took another bite of his. 
"I can't believe I didn't know you were a ketchup-on-latkes person," Bucky said. 
"Wanda introduced me," Steve said. "Since she obviously has taste." 
"I am being betrayed on all sides," Bucky said dramatically. 
"Sorry, baby," Steve said. "Will you still love me even when I put ketchup on my latkes?" 
"Of course I will," Bucky said. "Punk." 
"Jerk." 
Bucky pulled Steve into a kiss. His lips tasted like ketchup. Bucky had to say the flavor was better on Steve’s lips than on a latke.

Um... I just saw some Steve slander on TT? And I'm confused and kinda offended? It was a TT of a girl doing a skit where Steve literally says to Nat, "The Red Room couldn't be that bad. They fed and clothed you."
A) STEVEN GRANT "I DON'T LIKE BULLIES" ROGERS WOULD NEVER!
B) People in the comments were acting like this was totally in character for Steve, which it's not.
C) The creator said it was their headcanon and if people didn't like it to move on. Which is fine, but it is COMPLETELY OUT OF CHARACTER???? A HEADCANON DOES NOT EXCUSE MISCHARACTERIZATION.

Steven Grant always says "easy peasy, lemon squeezy," and Jake Lockley always slanders him for it; I'm ringing up Feige so he makes this canon

Hewwooo i just watched dominion todayyy
Spoilers below btw
THE MOVIE'S A MESS, SERIOUSLY.
Plotwise? Absolutely. Characterwise? Sorta. And i'm still mad that the prologue didn't make it to the movie LIKE WHAT THE FUCK-
Before watching it i already had a feeling it'd be a mess and yep. I didn't care about lewis dodgson (dogson??) he's super boring to be a villain, the same with uhhh eli mills (is that was his name in fk?) and that guy who wanted dinos to be a weapon in jw
I like hybrid dinos to be the threat much more like the previous jw movies because it felt more.....natural (p ironic cause hybrids aren't natural lol)?? I just like how i can feel the tension as the characters running away from em, it's the whole survival aspect yk?
But that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable tho! I love seeing dinos and dominion absolutely delivers!!! I wanna see the old trio back and yepp i love them having that shenanigans in the adventure, then owen and barry's friendship aaaaaaa, then blue and beta (wishing there's more of blue tho), and imo kayla is one of the best feature dominion ever had, i wasn't that interested (skeptical even) when i saw her in the promo/posters cause i had a feeling she'll ended up like zia (who in my opinion is pretty boring and bland) but nope! The way she loved flying and her plane and just trying to mind her own business? Yeah i love that lol. And maybe because i'm tired with the whole "dinos are worth saving kind of motivation" from the charas so that i found her character more interesting
Then the camp cretaceous tie ins eh? My heart fucking dropped when i knew that the dinos in biosyn are already getting chipped LIKE WHAT THE FUCK 😭 i swear the whole firecracker getting chipped by kash is already disturbing enough and now those dinos got thst treatment again i- 👁👄👁
AND EUGH THOSE CRICKETS (uh grasshopper?) WHAT THE FUCK. I gotta admit i don't really like em being a main threat tho, it doesn't feel jurassic to me tbh. But wow i love them too cause they're horrifying >:)
Oh and and and that a scene when someone called alan as dr grant will never not made my brain stopped working for a sec i thought it was steven grant from moon knight lmaoooo 😭 (i've been way too far and desperate for more mk stuff asjkshkss)
AND FINALLY BIG DINO BATTLE WOOOOOOOOO
I was dissapointed that there's no blue in there tho but goddamn the therizino and rexy team up against that bitch giga is so good 😩🤌
But again i'm sorry BUT the battle itself is the least enjoyable final battle i've ever seen compare to the previous jw movies. It's because the set up tho, the final battle in jw always had a special place in my heart cause i rex itself is already being the biggest threat there is and i am rooting for the heroes to save the day. But in this one? Is giga really a threat? I don't feel like it is, for the humans yeah but the other dinos? That's just the nature....there's no feeling to see giga as this unnatural being cause it's not a hybrid. I think it'd be more interesting if giga attacked rexy and therizino cause the chip, okay you know what they should've made that chip to be the main focus like in cc s5 😔
But in the end i still love it eheheheeee
Warning : dimetrodon slander lol
Lastly when those dimetrodons appeared uGhH, why them tho 😭 I HATE THIS MF WITH MY WHOLE FRIGGIN HEART. They're just ugly and annoying and i don't like em 😔
Okayy that's all i got baiii

Saw some Steven slander on the tl so buckle up again! Just wanna ramble about some stuff on my head 🤝 might be a long post, but maybe it won’t be, but welcome to my Ted talk, I guess!
There’s something absolutely endearing about Steven Grant. Actually, there are a lot of things endearing about Steven Grant.
It’s the way he’s absolutely passionate about Egyptian mythology, choosing to spend his sleepless nights reading about it, studying hieroglyphics and just anything available to expand his knowledge about the topic. He was concerned enough to tell Donna about the misinterpretation of the Ennead, choosing to still tell her about it even if he knew he’d probably get shot down the second he started talking.
Tumblr media
It’s the way he cares so much about Gus, going as far as putting him in the first (and maybe the only?) clear container that he could find, his blender, and bringing him to the pet shop to just to ask if it was normal that he “grew another fin”. He loves the little guy so much, and he probably chose him specifically because he only had one fin and he genuinely wanted to help him.
Its the way he bought Crawley some food with extra pralines, even if the man just sits there and listens while Steven talks to him during his shift. Its the way he’s a vegan, abstaining from consuming meat products, but still respectful to those who don’t have the same ideals.
It’s the way that he doesn’t believe that he’s broken, even if he was losing days of his life for reasons he couldn’t quite understand. It’s the way he as strong enough to say that he needs help.
Tumblr media
It’s the way he genuinely just wants to protect the people around him, even if it means getting himself locked up. Wanting to surrender the bag of illegal shit he found in the locker, how he spoke up against child murder when Arthur was explaining the whole situation with Ammit, how he was so set on protecting Layla despite just meeting her, and how he surrendered control to Marc so he doesn’t accidentally hurt anyone else around them.
It’s the way he knows that he’s capable and he’s always wanting and willing to show that he is capable.
Tumblr media
It’s the way that he’s … Steven, you know?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
((goat gif creds: stevenrogered))
This isn’t even everything but yeah I’m done rambling for now </3 I just love him so much n it’s soft hours for me 🤧 how could you NOT love him??

in defense of marc spector.
point (a); the attitude
THIS IS NOT A VALID ARGUMENT AGAINST MARC. he’s got the emotional capacity of an overripe coconut, i’ll give you that, but he is not hostile without reason or explanation. throughout episode one, most of marc’s “hostility” towards steven was purely pragmatic. in later episodes, marc’s main motivations fluctuate between emotion and practicality.
generally, he’s deduced that it’s important to keep steven at an arms length, this decision fueled by past traumatic experiences. he doesn’t want steven to be in contact with him, not just because of convenience, but because he believes that steven is the better parts of marc. to incorporate marc into stevens life would be, from marcs perspective, to introduce a more volatile and injured part of the system. this isnt just a system thing, he does it with layla, too. marc eventually pushed layla completely out of his life, but kept her at a certain length throughout their relationship. i think that marc’s secrecy has always been motivated by his instinct to separate himself into something more functional and something wounded. hence the formation of DID.
all of the above, in addition to; people who hate themselves as much as marc often lash out and push people away. a childhood of abuse and a lifetime of rejection has bred a man with the fattest inferiority complex. and major trust issues. add that to the list.
ANYWAYS, he despises emotional vulnerability, avoids conversations that might send him over the edge, refuses to rely on or entirely trust other people, feels entitled to protect others from himself, and pretends he is incapable of feeling pain and showing affection.
point (b); the mirror breaking scene
steven was being an annoying asshole.
but i guess i cant leave it with that, so ill just summarize really quickly: marc is juggling the possibility of ammit’s release, the threats against his wife and steven from khonshu, the threats of steven directed at him, the invalidation from steven, the crippling mental illness he avoids coping healthily with, and the sheer loneliness of his life for the last year or so.
stevens claims that he’ll make marcs life a living hell after marc has quite literally been living for the soul purpose of waking up, fighting, and going back to sleep? he’s a walking zombie, convinced that he has to hit one last checkpoint, finish one last mission, because he can finally disappear for good. at least, that seems to be his next course of action, all things considered.
so yea, he lost his shit when steven was yelling at him. its also important to note the efforts he made to comfort steven, talk him through the situation, and explain himself. all of which were ignored. idk, it just pisses me off that steven is allowed to feel emotions but marc somehow isnt?? mmmm.
point (c); layla
fork. i kinda already went over this, but i have way less excuses for the way marc treats layla, because shes never been anything but patient and kind. she hasn’t yelled at marc, or insulted marc the way steven has. you could say that marc hasnt been outright offensive or mean or demeaning to her, but he’s avoidant in a very toxic way.
e.i, the car conversation. “i wonder if i even know you at all!” “you don’t”. theres no rational excuse for this, the only explanation is marcs own internal compass, pointing him in the direction opposite of every other human being that might be healthy for him. he doesnt want layla near him anymore, he’s come to some kind of conclusion that he can’t have her. he’s never going to be the person she needs, because he’s never going to be an honest and vulnerable person.
if anything, i thinks its safe to assume that he honestly believes steven is a much better match, since he’s the better man. “but oh, marc was mad at steven for kissing layla!” yea duh, cuz marc still loves her. but can you really say marc thinks he deserves her? i’d even say that he doesn’t. marc doesnt rly think he deserves much at all. “i should’ve died. i should be dead.”
conclusion
maybe some of this is a stretch, maybe i’m psychoanalyzing too much, but people seem to be forgetting that marc is mentally ill. he is traumatized in a way you can’t fully heal from, you can only find the best way to live happily and healthily. even then, it’s hard, and it’ll always be hard.
i dont want to be that person that compares ppls mental health, but stevens formation quite literally leaves him without any of marcs trauma (from what we’ve seen, idk). steven is experiencing new things, stressful things, terrifying things; but he is experiencing them without the full weight of marc’s past experience. idk, i think its rly important to recognize that. steven is nicer than marc bcuz marc has learned to be hostile. steven is more open and honest with layla because marc has learned to hide. steven shows his fear and sadness because he was never forced to pretend.
anyways, yea. i kinda just adore marc.
