Marius de Romanus, Notable Bi Disaster™, is so overwhelmed by his crush on Bianca that he pays someone to ferry him around the canals in a gondola while he lays in the bottom of the boat and feels sorry for himself and listens to the thoughts of mortals to avoid ruminating on his own thoughts.
in which marius' mechanism is like an angry parasite and burrows its roots further into his body when removal is threatened.
[imade id: a digital painting of marius von raum from the mechanisms. his metal hand is clutching a bar and the arm has been ripped away from his body just below the elbow with an eruption of blood, tissue, and silver cables. the stump of his remaining arm is drenched in blood and the same silver cables snake in and out of his skin from his elbow to his neck; his whole right side is also bloodied. most of his face isn't visible, as he strains and leans away from the carnage. His eyes are shadowed. the background is nearly black with a jagged and gritty stroke of red lancing through, and the whole thing has a gritty paper effect applied over top. end id.]
Show Daniel ripping on Book Marius, something he could probably do all day until he fell asleep. I don't know why this particular idea popped into my head!
its crazy to me that in “empty chairs at empty tables” eponine doesnt come out. I know its about the students but she also died at the barricade. I feel like she would stand behind him and try to comfort him to no avail. She tried to comfort marius while she is DYING whats to stop her from doing it in death. Ghosts are canon!!
