TRANS MARK IS SO GOOD GATOR, like it would open up the discussion about viltrumite's and gender (which I feel like they would not give a singular shit about, to the point that even their language is gender neutral like the mandolorians in Star wars, as long as you can still make kids) but at the same time I'm trying to write that Markcest harem fic with trans Mark and I wanna write him with at least top surgery but it's making me overthink about if he would *actually* get it. Because Nolan might ward him off from transitioning because of how late Mark got his powers (he would use the excuse that if Mark got them mid surgery it'd reveal his identity, but in reality he wanted to make sure Mark would still be useful enough without his powers that he wouldn't be killed by the empire and he's worried transitioning would affect Mark's fertility/usefulness. Anyway I'm going to fucking Get Him with my bare hands. First human to beat the shit out of a viltrumite.)
But anyway trans Mark is also great cause it leaves sooo much angst open too, like if he's the one getting pregnant and not Eve the abortion plotline would prob be a miscarriage plotline (☹️) and it would lead to a role switch where Eve would be the main protecter for the Terra pregnancy (Likely due to overcompensating because Marks scared. Ughhhhh that makes me so sad to even think about.) I don't know this is probably way too long of a ramble ask I'm sorry Gator, you just inspire me so much and stufffff!!!! Have a great day :]
(We don't talk about Marky.)
Im a sucker for Trans Mark, and yeah that may just be me projecting onto my faves and comfort characters.
Though, I do think that Mark probably just never had much of a chest? Like, it was never very large, and when he gained his powers, his body was probably “oh, this is what we gotta do?” and started building a more masculine form and muscle. Cuz the mind is a powerful thing.
Maybe that's why he's never as big as the other viltrumites? If you put him beside any of the other known viltrumites, Mark always appears to be smaller and skinnier, so maybe that's why?
I do think that viltrumites don't really... care? About gender? At least not to the degree they do on earth. I've mentioned before that all they really care about is your ability to breed, if need be. So, Mark not getting bottom surgery means hes still useful in that regard.
Theres also the whole alien biology I headcanon with viltrumites. Damn, would Mark grow the male bits when he gets older cuz his body just goes “yeah we are male, so, here you go”, kinda like how T makes changes too.
Does this mean transfem Eve? T4T Mark and Eve? Sign me up immediately. Does Eve make testosterone for him, or does his body just start producing it when he's decided that's what is his “tip top shape”, if that makes sense?
I get so sad when I think about Marky bro... he didn't ask to be born, or to be left believing he was hated and born from hate, like, he kinda was, but that was also not his fault. But I also understand Mark wanting nothing to do with him for his own health. Still, I do wish I could give Marky a hug.
