Y'ALL DONT KNOW HOW MUCH IM FREAKJNG OUT RN. JAKE IS THERE AND REAL. AND STEVEN IS NOT DEAD!!! THE CHARACTER

Just thinking about how Marc Spector breaks all the brooding-tough-guy-anti-hero stereotypes because

1. he still has a moral code (he’ll slap teenagers instead of punching them)

2. he’s a fucking idiot

Exhibit a) his only reaction to any new information he gathers is "okay“ 👁👄👁

Exhibit b) when he’s surrounded by guys with guns and given the choice to basically walk away he chooses to throw an axe at them and gets killed

Exhibit c) he serves a god that looks like a three meters tall pigeon skeleton but loses his cool when confronted by an ears wiggling hippo god (tbf he was drugged af but still)

Exhibit d) he’s literally a mercenary working in Egypt FOR AN EGYPTIAN GOD and apparently knows absolutely nothing about the gods or any mythology (tbh so true of him idk what I’m doing at work either)

3. but to get more serious, he admits when he needs help, in more ways than one

- he admits to the gods that he’s unwell

- he lets Steven front because he knows Steven‘s skill set suits the situation better

- he‘s actually on the very other (concerning) side of that spectrum since he straight out tells Steven he wants to die once Khonshu‘s gone, bc he believes Steven is a much better and deserving person than him

4. he’s soft, but in other ways than the "brooding guys“ we already have

- He really does his best to protect Steven (replacing Gus etc.) and appreciates Steven, which the last 10 minutes of ep 4 have not just shown but like, made a whole plot point, which ofc only makes sense since that’s how headmates work? He doesn’t make fun of Steven for being less violent, for his special interests or his social awkwardness, but embraces them, because Steven literally formed out of Marc’s trauma and as a system the two need each other. Steven isn’t some kind of parasite or intruder, he’s standing by Marc‘s side and Marc has Steven’s back, because they need each other

- I’ve seen so many fans portray him as that drunk aggressive dude, who is basically just another angry hot guy, after ep 2, while he is so much NOT that. He’s suffering, and probably needs help even more dearly than Steven. He has stated multiple times that he wants to die, he is reckless (even without the suit), he cried at the Ennead trail bc of the lack of control he had when Khonshu took over the body (he couldn’t let go). Of course he gets angry and frustrated at times, but tbh punching a mirror is a very harmless way of letting that anger out!

ep 5 was.... so cool but im very disappointed jake isnt there im gonna cry

Knee deep in the passenger seat. Or whatever happened in this scene

STOPP, NOW I MISS THE HYPE </3
