Do you think Marvin could see Whizzer in Jason? In the way he plays baseball, remembering the advice that Whizzer had given him. In the way he plays chess, using strategies Whizzer taught him. Marvin saw his lover living on through his son, and that hurts.
i used to jokingly say the relationship i had with a friend was the equivalent of "platonic whizzvin". i know that doesnt make sense because whizzvin (act 1 mostly) was so toxic but we tagged each other as the characters since we matched whizzvin pfps, made fun of each other when we got too in character and just talked abt falsettos together. boy was i wrong. theres no such thing as a platonic whizzvin.
This is a piece that I absolutely speedran last night (started a 9ish and finished at 2am) and the idea had been rattling around in my head for about a month so I'm really happy I finally got to paint it
( also I know theres like. a little bit of disagreement on how Marvin dies, but regardless I know that Whizzer was with him in his last moments.)
