I uhm... drew a meme XD Idk why Hunter looks like he’s 6 years old but whatever lmao If Belos fucking touches little rascal I fucking swear-
I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT THIS WAY now I’m even more upset about what they did with s3 Marcy g r r r r
I mean I sorta saw it that it way but I didn’t quite connect that she was brought down to the role of a lazy plot device…. Thanks for this insight tho!! Now I can be salty with more efficiency :D
Cuz she’d be far too busy slaying to be a damsel in distress XD (unless you count pretending once tho 👀)
[ Warning: I start rambling my AU a bit here oops… Don’t have the heart to delete or shorten it tho lmaooo ]
But I must say: I LOVED Darcy!! The possession was a really good concept imo, just not executed well… Like give her some control and let The Core act as a kinda sidekick (even tho it’d just be using her, could take over at any time, and would probably betray her in a heartbeat…. just don’t let Marcy know that djdhsnfdjhsnd) as it convinced her to go APESHIT-
I just came to a horrible realization. Marcy in season three was a Damsel in Distress.
Seriously think about it: aside from the finale, her only purpose was to sit around and wait to be rescued. Yes it would have been necessary to a certain extent no matter what, with the whole "being stabbed" business, but then they had to go ahead with that idiotic possession subplot and make Darcy an endgame villain. Marcy's brief mental world subplot in All In didn't even give us one of those "fighting the illusion from inside your mind" plots: she just resigned herself to her fate and hoped her girls would save her.
There's a very good reason the Damsel in Distress has fallen out of favor in recent years. Aside from the underlying chauvinism, a Damsel in Distress usually isn't a character so much as a lazy plot device, a prize for the hero to win after they've slain the dragon or killed the evil wizard or whatever.
The only thing worse than creating a character whose sole purpose is to be a Damsel in Distress is making an established character into a Damsel in Distress. And they did it to Marcy: a deep, complex character who was used amazingly in season two. They introduced Marcy as a deliberate foil to Sasha, gave us several episodes to get to know and love her, then dropped that massive bombshell in True Colors.
And how did they follow up that absolutely brilliant storytelling? They made Marcy into a fucking Damsel in Distress, whose only purpose for 90% of season three was to sit around and wait to be rescued. And for some goddamn reason they had to wait until the penultimate episode to do so, leaving no time for Marcy to interact with her best friends or truly be involved in the story.
I ADORE these. The THINK part especially is KILLING me because I genuinely loved that theme LMAOOOO
tdp season 6 shitpost doodles
Idk what to say for myself except that I regret nothing
Cat Darcy :3
It’s @froggythesculptor’s birthdayyy!!! To celebrate, I drew an idea she had about the core arms acting like Darcy’s (evil Marcy’s) little pets in our AU :3
I wanted to draw some Marcy fluff so… YEET
This took quite a while since I put more time and effort into the sketch and lineart and I like how it turned out!! I miss her so much I just wanna see her happy again *sobs*

WAIT since the frobots seem to be capable of free will… Imagine Darcy caught a butler bot sabotaging her and it said, “have fun with that, flip phone!” in its little fucking accent before flying out a window. She stood there speechless for a second then spluttered and ran over to the ledge to shout, “WELL, YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS!!” She grumbled then turned to stomp out of the room but spun back around and quickly added, “WALL-E!!!!!” in the most wrathful tone possible.
I’ve never seen anyone else write, draw, or even mention this concept so I’ve got a hot take for y’all:
Darcy comes up with all sorts of fun derogatory names to call their frobots.
Like imagine one can’t find something they told it to grab for them and they scream, “IT’S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE, YA WAFFLE IRON!!”
Or a bot bumps against them in the hall and they shove it out of the way and say “Watch it, roomba!”
Or a couple are trying to lift something and Darcy sighs and goes, “You pathetic crockpots, PUT YOUR BACKS INTO IT!!”
It’s even in character imo. I mean Darcy has Marcy’s memories from Earth so they’d still know plenty of household appliances to compare some bots to hehe.
Heyo!! My pronouns are she/they and I like to write and shitpost :Pxenia12.carrd.co
