Characters from @booksrbetterthanpeople that I personally really like most because I find it interesting the idea of the comic Duo having creepy exes
(any story involving these two I personally love and I recommend checking out these fanfictions they are just that good) 👍🏾☺️
I've come up with some interesting ideas that I would love to turn into fanfictions about these two knuckleheads one of the fanfiction ideas that they wrote was the idea of both of them meeting and because of them somebody got akumatized
In their story it was Marc and Nathaniel themselves I got akumatized but I'd love to write a story where it was actually their exes who get to come with ties and they work together to kidnap the comic Duo
(below I have some snippets of some of my favorite moments of their fanfictions that inspired me to come up with ideas of my own using these characters I haven't written them yet though I'm a bit too nervous)
In their stories there are moments where Nathaniel's ex Emani is actually called out for his behavior specifically towards Marc and how he seems to have some sort of interest in him in a very similar way he did Nathaniel.
From: Heartthief
This snippet here actually shows how Lucien (Marc's ex) behaves around Nathaniel before he found out that the comic Duo were dating. Take advantage of the fact that he likes Nathaniel's artwork and their comics it would allow you to come up with an idea of him falling for Nate in a very similar reason that Marc did
From: Doll Master
This one's interesting because this is one of two moments that I was talking about earlier about Emani showing some level of interest in Marc. The fact that he said that if they had met sooner he would have been fine with him being by Nathaniel's side is quite interesting to me, because it shows that he understands why Nathaniel fell in love with him (in his own twisted way)… but he also doesn't like the fact that from his perspective he broke Nathaniel, when in reality that didn't happen… Nathaniel changed before he met Marc…if he knew that then just imagine what he would have done with Marc
From: Wrath
This is the second moment I was talking about but this time it goes into a bit more detail
It's called out a few times that both Emani and Mark look very similar (for example they both have green eyes and their hair and style are very similar) in this snippet (for spoiler reasons I'm not going to give all the details) it's important to note how Nate's ex describes Marc and explains how if they had met sooner he would have been fine with doting on Marc in a very similar way he did to Nathaniel and having two boyfriends
This has some interesting Revelations and ideas for stories
The fact that he was fine with having two boyfriends comes up with the idea of what if they did meet sooner, would he have kept to his word and allowed Mark to be by Nate's side how would he dote on him
What kind of nickname would he give Mark if he was a boyfriend of his (my personal favorite is Angel because Angel doll Mark is sweet and innocent so it works)
What if he tried to change mark and manipulate him in a very similar way he did to Nathaniel how was this affect both of them
From: Riot and Empath
This part's important because it highlights something about Marc's ex that stated in his character profile, the fact that he's very manipulative. We see this here he uses the fact that Alix is friends with Mark and Nathaniel to try and learn more about them to get closer to mark that way he can take back his Emerald (Marc)
At the end of the day I have come up with a few unique yet creepy ideas for these two and how the story of hellhound and demon doll could have been about these two teaming up and manipulating our comic Duo into basically being puppets cute little housewives of dolls that they can manipulate with collars or something I mean their power is even scream manipulative and I personally love that
I'd love to make a post talking about the idea for the fanfiction itself that I came up with but I am still a little nervous about doing that, because these characters come from someone else and I don't want to do that without permission, maybe I'll do it next time but for now I just wanted to talk about how much I love the small details in the stories that gave me the idea to come up with something like this
