"She's Pretty," Sasha Chose To Voice. "There's Something About Her, Mars- You Can't Say You Haven't Noticed

"She's pretty," Sasha chose to voice. "There's something about her, Mars- you can't say you haven't noticed it." Sasha had. The moment Anne Boonchuy had landed in her field of vision that Wednesday morning, she'd felt it; the subconscious tugging, a magnetism that drew her in.

Marcy had it, but she'd been with Marcy forever. It was only natural they'd fall together. Anne was new. Anne was exciting.

That was what Sasha wanted.

or: putting both mean girls and heathers to shame, marcy and sasha talk. it definitely goes a way, especially when new transfer student anne boonchuy is at the center of it.

For the little beta sasharcy au @cutetanuki-chan is playing around with

“Prom’s coming up,” Anne remarks, once they’ve gotten through their usual greetings and catching-ups. “Senior prom, too. Any special plans?”

“Oh, I was thinking about going with someone,” Sasha says all flirtatiously, and she bats her lashes– not at the camera, but towards Anne, grinning like a maniac. Anne smiles at her back, and something lurches in Marcy’s gut.

Before she has the time to dwell on the sensation, however, she’s thrust back into the center of attention as Anne looks back at the camera, eyes big and brown and almost hopeful. “What about you, Mars?”

or: hundreds of miles away, marcy reflects on what the idea of prom used to mean to her, all while completely oblivious to the schemes of her best friends

YAY now that my comic is finished and posted, I can finally talk about these two weirdos. I got a crap ton of asks about the Core’s role in this AU, so thank you for your patience HAHA

Okay, so what’s going on with these two? Ultimately we have a situation where the Core was not removed from Marcy’s mind, so now they’re headmates. I don’t want to say it’s a split personality situation, because it’s more like Marcy was possessed and the Core is kind of a prisoner in her mind now that Marcy’s regained control of herself.

The Core is incredibly…noisy (“Noisy” might be an understatement seeing as the commotion in her head looks like literal hell). The Core is, to my understanding, an ancient eldritch being compiled of the minds of numerous amphibians. With that in mind, i wanted to make it so there are many voices in Marcy’s head conversing, with The Core’s voice being the dominating one. It isn’t always super deafening. Sometimes the voices sound like a crowd’s soft murmuring, the volume really depends on how much the Core is demanding Marcy’s attention in that moment. It’ll also try to disorient her as much as possible, but Marcy’s grown a tolerance for the noise. Ultimately the Core’s goal is to regain control.

One thing I really didn’t want is for Marcy to be at the complete mercy of the Core. I didn’t want it to be where it’s bossing her around all day and making her miserable. I mean..okay she’s a little miserable, sure, but she’s not being controlled by fear. The Core is frightening, but she’s been stuck with this thing for so long that fright’s been watered down to pure irritation. She’s pretty jaded.

She’s just.

She’s over it.

At this point she’s just throwing snark at this thing and wanting it gone. This doesn’t mean she doesn’t see it as a threat though. See here’s the thing- Just because Marcy is pretty good about staying in control, doesn’t mean there haven’t been slip ups. If Marcy’s at an emotional low, the Core can more easily try to fight for control. There’s this constant battle going on where The Core is trying to break Marcy’s will so she’ll let it drive. There are moments where the Core is able to gain control for a few seconds, but Marcy immediately shuts that down. The only time where she’s super vulnerable is during the night.

She’s a sleepwalker— Or at least that’s how it looks to anyone who finds her waking up someplace outside her bedroom in the morning. The Core is able to roam around at night since Marcy’s not awake to stop its antics. She has to be in a super deep sleep though. Marcy’s aware that The Core does this, and has to try taking precautions before going to sleep (they rarely ever work though). For this reason, Marcy is pretty wary about the idea of sleepovers with Anne and Sasha. She’ll only attend if she knows there won’t be any actual sleeping. If they stay awake all night, then she’ll be fine most likely.

One last thing I wanna talk about is the Core’s design. The Core has no definite form. It can manifest itself in Marcy’s eyes however it pleases, but it chooses these two forms usually. One is more terrifying, while the other is emotionally damaging. The Core’s first form is basically an amalgamation of Marcy’s past self from her time in Amphibia, so it’s a mix of her warrior type fit and her Core armor. The form isn’t scary at all, but it serves as a reminder of Marcy’s mistakes. Her betrayal, the lying, the way she got her friends sent to another dimension against their will and caused them so much trauma- It’s arguably worse than any horrifying image the Core can create. Marcy’s grown numb to the scary crap, but this form feeds into her self loathing and guilt issue (which she has to actively combat everyday). I wanted to make a point to not have the Core age with her for the sake of drilling in the idea saying “This will never change. This is still you”.

The second form is just for the sake of being able to tower over Marcy and be more intimidating, plus I wanted to incorporate the Core’s robo arms in some fashion.

And YEAH that’s pretty much all I got…I love these two sm. It’s the “I’m sick of this and I’m sick of your crap specifically” dynamic. Also while drawing this comic, some friends and I were making fun of the Core for looking like an edgelord homestuck OC, so here’s this silly doodle

Marcy chuckles. Despite her actions, Sasha’s eyes find her own, face tilting, magnets polarized towards each other. If she were feeling generous, Marcy would liken them to planets. Satellites. Always drawn back together.

“Yeah.” Smug satisfaction laces her words. Her hands find the curve of Sasha’s jaw, skin supple and soft, turning it so she can meet dazzling eyes that would blind her in any other circumstance. “So if none of those are right,” Her fingers trace a familiar path of flesh, and Sasha’s right hand comes to hold it still. “Why'd you come?”
