One of the headcanons for Clarkmac also it’s mostly what I think about when it comes to them.

While there’s a monster out there assimilating and driving everyone insane, trapped in a predicament and helplessness, they both still haven’t forgotten the days they shared together.

Was what just happened real, Mac has carried a constant sense of guilt ever since. He knows that thing messed with everyone’s minds but did Clark really have to hurt him just because of what, and left this question for Mac alone while he himself faded away forever.

I can’t explicitly rember which article or video I saw this theory from but there's a lot of them so I reflected it in this thing au but also put a bit of my creative indulgence into it so it'd feel more like my own.

This had bulbed in my head just to fill the emptiness, I love thinking about what they would’ve been doing before the movie and it’s mostly become my headcanons that I lowk hope are real.

You can see it as a remake of this piece.

I just watched John Carpenters cult cosmic horror classic The Thing for the first time and the gay underpinnings in MacCready and Fuchs’s relationship stood out to me. Obviously this wasn’t Carpenter’s intention and it’s a bit of a stretch but hear me out:

Main character pilot extraordinaire RJ MacCready trusts no one else besides biology assistant Fuchs and vice versa as the Alien Happenings begin, enough that Fuchs goes out of his way to confide in MacCready that Blair, the lead biologist, is acting strange. This trust and closeness becomes super tragic when Fuchs goes out into the night and finds MacCreadys torn shirt in the snow, which its shown and discussed by the characters that the Thing will shred through and remove clothing in order to get into the assimilation process. It’s left open to viewer interpretation but not long after, Fuchs kills himself via self immolation. It’s implied by Maccready who discovers his corpse that he killed himself to prevent assimilation from the Thing. This is the most reasonable assumption but allow me to play Gay Shipping Roulette with this plot point: if I were madly in love with someone I’m trapped in an Antarctic base with, surviving an alien menace disguising itself as my peers, and it became seemingly clear that the teams fearless leader (that I’m madly in love with,) is actually the Thing in disguise leading us all astray, I would be despondent. Enough to kill myself? Possibly. Furthermore, Fuchs death marks a watershed moment for MacCready in the narrative, as he becomes increasingly desperate and self-destructive. Prior to this moment, MacCready is the most level headed and focused person in the group. Afterwards, the remaining team members lock MacCready out after finding the same shirt that Fuchs did, fearing that he’d become assimilated. MacCready, to his credit, manages to break back into the base and obtain dynamite and flares, which he uses to coerce his peers into a test to discover who among them is infected. This level of unhinged intensity and self sacrifice continues to escalate and culminates in the destruction of the entire base with explosives. I don’t know about you, but this sounds a lot like someone with nothing to lose and a lost loved one to rejoin in the afterlife.

I’ll reiterate that this definitely wasn’t Carpenter’s intentions, but it’s pride month and my brain has an endless hunger for queer rep and subtext, and this movie (all male cast btw, gay ass choice,) scratched that itch for me. Canon is the strong foundation for any story but it can be bent to my will for the sake of imagining two men kissing. Anyway, thanks for indulging my gay mania and reading this, it means a lot.

Offially posted Clark/Mac(?) yes I ship them and they are in polyamorous relationship with Fuchs (my personal ships so please dni if you don’t like). This post contains carnal content, so I censored it with stretched Blair pic. Sorry Blair, at least you were able to help me at the end

FOR CLARKMAC NATION I CONTRIBUTE IT Headcanon behind this they're already together and it set about three days before the movie happens (totes picked the number at random lol) Id like to think that if they were dating, Clark would talk a lot more than usual and Mac would soften up a bit not as rough or aggressive as he usually seems

Posting this on the saddest day of us, but I don't mean to disrespect the departed, I'm leaving this space for everyone to mourn as they need, myself included. 'Love and always, TK Carter' I drew this while crying too but in the end it was finished and there's Nauls, I'll be drawing him in another work really soon
