Ok i was ur post and i had been thinking about this. I do not know enough stuff about the show i just got into it and i got this idea. How about a Mark Garyson x reader where they are dating and she doesnt know about his hero stuff and when she finds out she feels so bad cause she is behind the bigged invincible hate acc on idk tiktok? who posts corny stuff for shits and giggles while also running the biggest fan acc and makes them fight for drama and Marks reaction to this idk??
Summary: You just started the account to kill time, not like you'd ever actually meet Invincible. Gn reader.
A/N: A bit late and short (also the pacing on this one is wack) sorry Splatoon Raiders came out so I ain't been writing nothing!! <- partly a jest but I also really haven't felt like writing lately so because of that and because I only have one request left and am gonna have to start coming up with my own ideas I'm probably gonna switch to every other week posting instead of every week.

It had been something you’d started on an impulse, a way to kill time over the summer before college. It’d started at the start of break, it had taken you a week to get over the high of being done with high school for good and to just be bored. You were starting to consider getting a job, it’d unfortunately be an improvement from laying around the house all day.
And then Invincible got thrown into your car while fighting whatever villain of the week, then he threw your car at said villain. Of course, it ended up being totally… totaled, your insurance covered it at least and your boyfriend even offered to buy you a new one (You turned him down though, you’re pretty sure the guys unemployed).
You had been wanting to buy a new car anyway, to be totally honest, but you still ended up opening twitter and making a new account with the sole purpose of slandering Invincible. None of the posts were all that serious, captioning cute posts with obviously incorrect things about the ‘EVIL Invincible’, reposting footage of him getting tossed around, arguing with huge fans of his. It ended up being an excellent time killer and you gained quite the following.
“Hey, Mark,” You started, poking your boyfriend with your foot, making him look up from the comic he was reading on the other side of your bed, “You know Invincible?”
“Uh, I know of him, not like I know him personally, that’d be weird, he’s a superhero and I’m.. not,” Mark rambled, what a weird amount of detail, “Why-- why do you ask?”
“Check it,” You said shoving your phone in his face, “I’m totally famous,”
Mark was terribly offline, otherwise you would’ve harassed him into following you ages ago. You doubt your big following means anything to him anyway– again, stupidly offline– but you were getting bored sitting in silence and wanted to spark a conversation.
“Number one Invincible hater?” Mark read out your name, taking the phone out of your hand, “This is you?”
“What’s wrong with Invincible!?” Mark squeaked.
“He trashed my car last week,” You reminded him.
“I offered to buy you a new one!”
“That doesn’t mean Invincible broke it any less,” You pointed out, “The account isn’t serious or whatever, I can stop if you want,” It would be disappointing to lose out on all that sweet internet fame but Mark does look genuinely upset.
“No it’s fine,” Mark sighed, handing you your phone back, “What if he sees it though? You might hurt his feelings,”
“He’s a superhero, I sure hope he doesn’t worry about what random people online are staying,” You dismissed easily.
“You’re not random,” Mark muttered quietly enough that you weren’t quite sure you’d heard him right.
“Hm?” You prompted, hoping he would repeat himself, but he just shrugged it off and went back to his comic.
You honestly forgot about that whole interaction, Mark was weird sometimes so it wasn’t anything too stand out. You probably would’ve deactivated the account if he really wanted but he dropped it easily. Amber and Eve probably found it funnier than you did anyway which was probably more incentive to keep the account going than the absurd amount of followers. The internet fame was certainly nice too, though.
So the whole thing remained pretty irrelevant in your life, why wouldn't it be? You ended up using the account less as college started– gotta focus on your classes, education is important and all– but you still made time to post enough to stay relevant at the least, comments on his latest fights and such.
You didn’t really have much reason to think of the hero outside of the account so you’re starting to consider taking a break when you come back to your dorm and see Invincible himself standing there. You’re like 90% sure you’re hallucinating, why would a superhero be in your room? But that’s maybe more concerning. Should you get a psych eval?
Invincible started to say something but you yelped and tossed the nearest object at him before he could finish. It broke on impact so he’s definitely real. This comes with two revelations, you are not insane, and there's a guy in your house.
“Wait, wait,” He said, holding out one hand and using the other, “It’s just me,”
“Mark? Why are you dressed like Invincible?” you asked
“Because I am Invincible,” Mark answered and you stared at him blankly for a few moments. He floated less than a foot off the ground and gestured to it, “Uh, yeah. I had more of a plan for this,”
“...I am so sorry.” You blurted out
“What? Oh, your twitter account, it’s whatever,” Mark brushed you off, “This isn’t about that, I totally forgot about that,” He clearly didn’t, “I just wanted to tell you because I trust you or whatever and secrets aren’t great for a long term relationship,” He elaborated, his feet once again touching the ground.
“Well this is definitely good to know,” You said, glancing him over and trying to properly process the fact that your boyfriend is totally a superhero.
You’re totally going to have to rebrand your twitter account.
