[markquest]

Welcome to the blog!! This is a blog dedicated to anything markquest!!! Art, fics, memes, stuff that is not explicitly that but if you’re insane enough it is, everything!!!

Tags:

#markquest — explicitly markquest

#markquest to me — not explicitly markquest BUT can be interpreted as such

#markquest + #to me — not explicitly markquest but it would be insane if it wasn’t the case

#not markquest — not markquest

#asks — whatever asks I get about them be it on main or here

#not my art — pretty obvious

#my art — see previous

#art — see previous

#fanfic — see previous

#writing — long posts about them

#silly — silly or silly adjacent things (memes + txt)

fair warning! Bc of the nature of the show and the characters there will probably be gore + guro here. eroguro will be tagged as #eroguro if you wanna block it dw. Anyhow regular gore + guro will not be tagged bc i mean. You know what show you watched.

Send asks! Submit posts about them or that could be about them! I love seeing other perspectives!!

Reject markcil! Markquest is the way!

problematic rage gap. one partner tries to bring nuance and understanding to a tough situation. the other wants to blow up the earth about it.

im conquesting it

‎Markquest is considered a darkship because of the canon dynamic between them. Conquest is a 5000+ year-old Viltrumite veteran, while Mark is only around 18-19 during their encounters. There's an enormous age gap, and extreme power imbalance, and no mutual or healthy relationship to build from—it's purely violence. Conquest is sent to judge Mark, completely dominates him physically, tortures him psychologically, brutalizes him, attacks the people around him to break him emotionally (Oliver for example), and explicitly enjoys seeing Mark suffer.

‎Their entire relationship is rooted in horror, abuse, violence, coercion, fear, and a massive imbalance of power.

(Apologies if this comes off as rude in any way I genuinely wanted to answer ur question!)

Ohhh I get it now. TBF, conquest’s violent nature is a core of his character and removing that would kinda mean it not being conquest, then we have the fact that conquest brought out the worst of Mark as well. I understand that it seems like that on a surface level—I mean, of course he gutted mark and mark smashed his head to a pulp, I’m not denying that—but there is so much more to them that isn’t just violence without reason. You see, it depends a lot on the person who’s interpreting the ship and how they imagine a relationship like that can even come to be. If you base yourself *only* on canon interactions it’s hard to see it as anything else, but on my side, I think there’s lots of ways to get them together without abuse and/or coercion in the middle (I’ve seen lots of fics execute it near flawlessly) the violence is inevitable tho but there’s lots to say about like the symbolism n weight of all of it. There’s stuff that explains this better in the #writing tag in the blog ngl I’m not the best with words ^_^💧I guess my point is that there’s much more to it and no one sees it

Also very personal take under the cut

I have the feeling a lot of people really hate the ship just because it’s an instinct disgust reaction like. if conquest was some twunk that was 5k+ but looked like tops 25 people would NOT be reacting like they do about this ship. I bet my left kidney they’d be treating it like hannigram or nolagg

“I fucked conquest, I’ll fuck you too” 🗣️ hits hard

Chat is this #thrark and #markquest 👀

[markquest]

Markquest is absolutely a dark ship, nothing in that relationship would be consensual on Marks part

They both wanna kill each other and mortal enemy yaoi is mostly based on that. Who’s to say how two characters that beat each other nearly to death could get together but I’ve seen it multiple times and I’m sure there’s a way

Hellow…..what are your thoughts on markquest…….

HI!!!

Funny you ask this..... Talked about my view on markquest w a friend just yesterday....

I enjoy og mark x conquest for the angst (& perhaps some hate fueled freaky time 😳) although I heavily prefer og mark x thragg :3

I mostly like no goggles mark x conquest. I think they'd match each other's freak really well 😼

[ycnb66678]

Mark is like a toy

[markquest]

Reeeeeally pisses me off when people say markquest is a darkship ngl. They both wanna kill each other they’re both adults they didn’t meet when mark was a kid and they both consent how on earth is that a darkship

Missed last week’s drawing BUT I’ll probably have some markquest tomorrow
