i have to say, Korvo is much more alpha than Zarck

Rewatching the 5th season, there’s even more I wonder about Zarck.

Like, why was he here at all ? Every other team we saw only had four members. He said he was here to keep balance, which leads me to believe that the Shlorpian government knew that Terry and Korvo (and their replicants) were not fitted for the task, unlike all the other ships.

From what we’ve seen of Shlorp, which isn’t much at all, Terry and Korvo did not fit in their home planet from the beginning. For Terry, obviously we saw him unbutton his robe, come late in class, really just caring about having a good time, not being conform, etc. For Korvo, he was most definitely a work alcoholic in a way that wasn’t really suitable for Shlorp. Speculating here, as we didn’t literally see it in the show, but I think Korvo’s colleagues worked hard and well while also taking breaks, whereas Korvo probably worked all the time (breaks would mean talking with colleagues, and lord knows he sucks at socializing)

As for Jesse and Yumyulack, they were liabilities from the start. Needing someone else to grow properly. Seeing as one of the shlorpians didn’t understand why it was happening, something like this happening was a first - for this specific version of Shlorp anyway.

Which makes me think that the "Elders" put them all together, all of the worst shlorpians, and added their most competent and diligent general/commander to make sure they get the job done. Someone that would remind them every second of every day that they are shlorpians and have a mission. That they’re not here to explore a new planet and discover themselves and each other, but to follow their sole and unique purpose and expand their species.

Still, I don’t think we’ve seen how deep the Shlorpian rabbit hole goes quite yet. You know this episode of Rick and Morty which revealed that a lot of Morties were manufactured ? I feel like something equally horrible will be revealed in the next seasons. And Korvo and Terry miraculously escaped this whole "shlorpian conformism" protocol.

Zarck Fic WIP taster <3

Hi y'all! Small update for my fic which will eventually be put up on AO3...

I'm almost finished with the plot outline!

And I've started writing the actual thing... Here's the first couple paragraphs as a taster:

Prologue (status: incomplete)

The Commander was sick of waiting and watching in silence. 

Waiting on a solitary distant planet for upwards of five entire years, devoid of any other kind of social contact, had started to take its toll. Zarck had to give them at least a little bit of credit, as it took them years for that distress beacon to be activated, spewing out their signal to anyone who would listen and come to their aid. It definitely outlasted his prediction that his wayward team would barely last a year by themselves without getting killed, or even worse, tainting the Pupa’s evolution so severely that their mission would culminate in utter failure.

But he certainly hadn't expected the team to last that long. Yes, under the right care and proper attention, the Pupa should have only needed a year or two to mature and see the terraforming cycle to completion, but seeing as they hadn't wrecked it up in maybe six years he couldn't help but be intrigued by their pure dumb luck. That Korvo he had left "in charge" was truly never meant to be leader, Zarck often mused to pass the time, and if anything this utter failure even after so many years of denial (for surely it hadn't taken them all that time for the mission to fall apart, those stubborn, pigheaded adults must have put off sounding the alarm for a while), proved that Zarck had been exactly where he needed to be: in control.

The first two years of waiting had been his most difficult. He had waited, at first eagerly, to detect that distress beacon within the first six months, knowing very well the group did not have the skillset to take care of the Pupa without him-  he hated being put with the most clumsy, naive set of Shlorpians on the homeworld to work alongside, but there was no fighting those who had made the decision to pair the team in such a way. After the first few years, counted with pebbles, sticks and scratch marks littered all over his tiny escape pod, he had begun to assume the team had already perished, none of them around to even sound the alarm, but he paid those dark possibilities no heed. After all, it was merely a What-If situation. No matter what, with the right quantum entanglement technology, this make-believe reality would cease to exist upon the press of a button, and everything would be restored to how it was supposed to be. No questions. No arguments.

Korvo’s reckless stupidity would prove his inability to be team leader, and he would surrender the position instantly back to Zarck as soon as he realised it was not all that easy as it was made out to be by their Commander.

Oh, how he longed to see the look on that idiot's face.

(Trying to draw what Zarck looks like from memory)

Jesse : I think I made one eye bigger than the others…

Terry : I was going for a feeling ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yumyulack : hOnEstLy i cAn’T eVEn dRaW a CiRClE hAHa

AISHA : Ok Korvo, you just drew yourself.

Korvo : … I like me.

I wonder…would Vanbo from season 1 have served as the precursor to Zarck in season 5? Considering they were both purple and not exactly nice, it makes sense for a bit of foreshadowing…
