Alright So After Patching Plotholes And Editing, The Plot Ever So Slowly Started To Drift Away From

Yooooo boost boost

My fic for round two of @mcyt-platonic-heros "The Thaw"

I've done this with the amazing artist @maru-iru, go check out their artwork!!!

Fic Description:

"Was she really that bad? Everyone seemed to think she was.

Scott glares and Martyn scoffs, and Cleo looks at her with that look that is both weary and sad, pitying. Pearl hates it, and she hates Cleo, and she wishes sometimes that she hadn’t built past that first one-block tower. Wishes that she had acted on her urge to jump in that moment. Brought Scott plummeting down to the ground with her.

Pearl opens her eyes, wrenching herself out of the memory with a forceful yank.

She’s on the floor, knees to her chest, and arms wrapped tightly around herself. She’s cold.

Cleo crouches in front of her, exercise suit stretching around her knees as she leans back on her heels.

“Hey, Pearl? You good, dude?”

Scott's view of love is so often "I will give you everything I have and you will give me whatever you feel like in return"

He doesn't make demands of his allies. Sure, he'll speak up if he wants something, or if he doesn't like something they do, but nine times out of ten when there's a disagreement, Scott will concede to them. He usually won't push for anything they aren't very willing to give.

On the other hand, Scott has very few boundaries for what he's willing to do. Scott will follow faithfully into a war he never wanted, will hand out his time and resources without needing to be asked, will bring his allies blade to his heart and tell them it's okay to do what they will, honestly, they don't even need to ask to take his life, he'll quietly accept an approaching betrayal, won't yell or fight or get out of the way, because the line between what he freely gives and what other people take gets thinner every day.

And it makes me insane. The way Scott sees himself, often, as an asset, thinks in terms of his resources and bargaining power. How he outlines every part of himself with ink, writing out how much they're worth, how much they'd sell for, how far they'd get his team before it's more economical to just kill him.

Love is so entangled with usefulness and consumption to Scott. Love is when he gives everything he has, every part of himself, and they, in return, give him..whatever they feel like, really, and he'll make do.

Desert duo wip cuz yes

im never beating the autism allegations

Makes sense actually. I'll check it out :D

SEVEN DEADLY SINS

Pride - Grian

Gluttony - Scar

Wrath - Joel

Envy - Cleo

Sloth - Scott

Lust - Pearl

Greed - Martyn

Pride: Pride fits him for a few reasons, watcher lore and general character. By common watcher lore iterations he is an escapee of the watcher realm. His refusal to go with their schemes gives him this role. Unrelated to the watcher lore, he has never been one to go down without a fight. His 1v4 in secret life, the killing of bdubs when he and Scar betrayed him etc. He is a fighter, and he won't give up even when the odds are against him.

Gluttony: Scar has always been known for his terrible trades, seeming to never have enough. He's always opting for more and more, not caring what it'll take to get it. Even if it means screwing over his “friends”.

Wrath: In reference to my Life Series Curses post; his being the Bloodbath Curse; it fits his slow descent to madness and thirst for destruction as each season progresses.

Envy: Someone overlooked, being dubbed the “Fake Winner” by many. Envious of those considered as “real” winners.

Sloth: I considered pride for Scott but I think it fits Martyn more and sloth can be affiliated with the fact that he won by not doing what he was supposed to do as the boogeyman.

Lust: Each season, Pearl has been heartbroken or betrayed (I think I don't quite remember but I'm quite sure Scarlet Witch was born from her divorce from Scott) so I think it fits(?).

Greed: Greed for Martyn fits I think cause he's always thirsty for a win, for something to happen. He is careful with what he has and is a very tricky character.

Alternatives:

I actually thought of wrath for Martyn because of his naturally chaotic personality but I thought Pride suited him more because he refuses to go down without a fight. A proper one.

I thought that lust would suit scar a bit because of what he said when he won secret life, as well as his relationship with grian (desert duo I miss you pls come back TvT) but in general terms I think gluttony suits his overall character more.

Grian was very tricky since he could fit in with and wrath as well cause he can be petty when he wants to i.e. killing of Jimmy in wild life but settled on pride cause it's more general.

Pride can work with Martyn as well cause I think it would make sense for his win in limited life as he refused to go with the fair fist fight in favor of ensuring himself the win. But I think it suits grian more idk. I kinda just put him in greed cause I like which else to give him TvT.
