funny (to me) Invincible War era Robin/variants possibility: what if she in fact is the same woman they lost - she just keeps transmigrating on each death in this cluster of universes, and get a clean slate for the new world (and Mark) aside from her pre-transmig memory mess?

Finally hits the lucky mainline roll but whoops on first touch with "crazy bastard who thinks it matters that he knew a me in his world, like it isn't basically the same as knowing a twin" allllll those memories come rushing back

aka Robin actively screwed herself over and now has to deal with the consequences

PLEASE EDMUND I NEED THIS

I will collect my thoughts on chrevival later but I want to first say: please be mindful that there is an entire company of people, cast and crew, not to mention front of house workers, whose lives will be upended by the closing notice. Bringing Chess back to Broadway in this fashion required a monumental effort from everyone involved, some who have been with this show for 8 years or longer, and my heart goes out to all of them.

No matter your thoughts on this production, everyone in this industry, onstage, backstage and beyond deserves stability and respect and getting that is incredibly rare. It’s brutal out there in the theatre world. Please grant everyone involved with Chess impacted by the closing courtesy and support!

Hello!

Still here, just changed usernames from azrith to Void Knight Art.

I was toying with this for a few years, and this seemed to feel right.

way too much detail about my hcs for marc’s appearance as he wishes them to be

the reason i think marc wants a military cut is bc even in the hospital/on the boat when he was separated from steven and jake his hair was slicked so it looked shorter. this wasn’t because he was a psych ward patient and was therefore well cared for— we saw layla with crazy hair and mad eyes— but because he was closer to what he wanted to be. steven had his magen david necklace on because that was how he pictured himself!! messy hair and religious!! marc, though he wore it while he was alive, didn’t have the magen david. so the hair is how he pictures himself too,, within the constraints of the actor.

also marc was a marine!!!!! i know multiple people who still care for themselves as though they are in the military. especially marines. i also feel like marc would be like this because he still seems very caught up in his past, comforted by his abilities, he seems like he would be at home in the stability and routine of staying as he was when he was in the profession he felt to be most himself (though that’s really sad, that he thinks he’s always been and always will be a killer… thats a whole other rant).

i also think that marc feels weak and helpless sometimes, and being raised a) in midwest america and b) jewish (assuming it’s anything like christianity), he likely has a lot of internalized views about gender roles. doesn’t mean he agrees, but you can have something internalized without projecting that onto other people (think internalized homophobia). that’s why i think he’d want a beard. beards make people look more masculine in the traditional sense, and marc wants to be seen as capable and to be feared. he wants to stop being hurt and feeling helpless. and he thinks the best way to do that is to make others afraid to hurt him and his loved ones. also on the surface level he just looks good w one?? and knows it??

i just think he wants short hair and a beard. im just tryna picture marc as he pictures himself.

anyway too much detail yall get the point
