i see all of your facts about marcus being exclusively gay but you have missed the greatest Fact of them all.. he's a gay who cant drive.. everyone knows bisexuals r the only ones in the lgbt who can drive and since marcus doesnt that means hes gay check and mate
This is almost true anon but itās more complicated than it appearsā¦. time to dive in. #meta #theory and criticism #gay history #toxic masculinity ššš¦
Marcus actually DOES drive in 2.02, but context is everything and I believe it only further reveals Marcus is a full-blown homosexual. See, Marcus is singing to Tomas the song we first heard in 1.01 by lesbian haircutĀ icon Patsy Cline:
I go out walkinā after midnightOut in the moonlightJust like we used to do, Iām always walkināAfter midnight, searchinā for you (wa-wa-walking, wa-wa-walking)I walk for miles along the highwayWell, thatās just my wayOf sayinā I love you, Iām always walkināAfter midnight, searchinā for you (wa-wa-walking, wa-wa-walking)
Tomas and Marcus have been on the road for six months and this is right after their first case where Tomas had a vision and Marcus is deathly afraid for Tomas in the same way he was deathly afraid for someone he loved before. This is what they used to do. Marcus is searching for Tomas even as heās sitting in the next seat bc he doesnāt know whatās happening to him. Driving is his way of saying ILU. Possessed Cindy even literally taunts him with extremely loaded sexual statements about Tomas.Ā āFrom the insideā?Ā āHe let me inā? And then this:
(This is NOT the first time Tomas + a woman has been demonizedā¦ in 1.05 Marcus was literally exorcising the heterosexuality out of him):
The demon is doing this to pique his jealousy, aggression and bitterness to form a void between Tomas and Marcus, associating his feeling of abandonment with God that the same thing is going to happen with Tomas.
Marcus is only driving because heās afraid for Tomasā¦ remember that Tomas literally almost ran them off the road the afternoon before, nearly killing them, an innocent woman, and letting her dickbag #bluelivesmatter husband catch them even if they survived.
Also Tomas is tired and it gives Marcus an excuse to watch him while heās sleeping.
But Marcus isnāt WRONG about his fearsā¦ even though Marcus is the one temporarily driving Tomas changes the radio, retaining the ultimate authority, and the song he changes it to is the one from the episode before with Calebā¦ the demon is drawing them to the island all the way from Montana. Marcus is driving only as a facilitator, ultimately at the whim of Tomas and thus the external forces seeking to crush him and split him from Marcusā warnings. Heās a desperate to please, circumstantial service top.
IMO I think your initial point was right and that Marcus canāt drive because there are several instances in season one where a rental would have straight up been more convenient (he toured Chicago for a week and watched Tomas and sketched him š before breaking into his apartment), like avoiding public transit or likeā¦ straight up driving the pope away from the demons, getting in a car himself as heās literally bleeding out, etc. This gay disaster.
This is #confirmation that Tomas taught him how to drive obviously, one of those late life experiences where Marcus hasĀ āhad the time of his lifeā in the six months theyāve spent on the road together, after Marcus told him in 1.08 to become an exorcistā¦ bc he canāt drive. He rides trains and buses and shit everywhere and itās getting inconvenient. Also damn heās lonely af and canāt live like this anymore after TomasĀ āopened a humanity in him.ā āļø
But Tomas forced him to learn he canāt top ALL the time and Marcus will listen to Tomas (as long as it doesnāt endanger Tomas himself or others), like remember when Tomas put his foot down in 2.06 and Marcus heededā¦ that inner bottom coming out.
Like also even earlier in that episode Marcus is just sitting his ass on the car instead of driving around looking for Tomas somewhereā¦ he wonāt drive unless itās for him. Heās literally sitting his ass on the car, not in the car, not in the driverās seat, on the rear end of the car. What kind of visual symmetry? Michelangelo who? Second only to this masterpiece:
Heāll only drive performatively, heāll only facilitate driving a truck, a classic symbol of American masculinity, if itās in service to Tomas. A facade, a mask, an actā¦ we already saw this with Peter leaning into into Marcus, who returned the advance even tho he was trembling.
Season two is all about Marcus realizing and fully embracing heās a bottom. What better way to establish that then have Tomas drive in the opening shot, fall to darkness and not do it again, have Marcus take over him as heās experiencing a mid-life sexual identity crisis afraid Tomas will abandon him (pull out) while Tomas is insecure Marcus is afraid of him (will be too tight/pent up/closed off). What kind of beautiful gay metaphor to air on modern day network television? And coming from Fox? This is ofc why they arenāt banging yet bc Tomas is already a top and he doesnāt think theyāre compatible. Little does he know. šš»
In conclusion Marcus is a service top with emotional vulnerability issues whoās actually a power bottom and is only up to the task when he has his #sign from god #miracle #angel from heaven Tomas and this is why Marcus driving still lets him be gay anon. Like what would the counterargument be bc there isnāt one I wonāt regret this at all POST ASK Monday Nov. 21st 11:18 PM 2017
