#i have murked you once again hahahahaha
AU where the reason all of the minds in the core are evil and fucked up and insane is because the coding in the original machine body was just really corrupted and mutated.
After spending a few weeks in a normal human brain as Darcy they’re like “Hm Yeah tyranny and ultimate conquest IS kind of fucked up actually. Maybe let’s stop obsessing over it” and have some sort of weird redemption arc. They let Marcy have most, if not all of the bodily autonomy, and they have this funky symbiotic venom-esque dynamic going on.
The reason it’s symbiotic is because Marcy’s body is so physically traumatised and injured that she’d most likely be paralyzed or even bed ridden without the Core, and the Core physically can’t exist without a host of some kind. They COULD be transferred to a computer or machine of some sort, but then they run the risk of the code getting corrupted and the hivemind going insane again, which they do NOT want a repeat of.
Actually you know what? I’m just gonna tweak this and shove it into my future au
Sasha:Hey bro, what do you want to eat?
Marcy, thinking of the vine: A bag-
The Core: A bagel!
Marcy: Wait wha-
The Core:TWO BAGELS!
The Core: Marcy! We want McDonald’s!
Marcy:Well, too bad. We’ve already had it a whole bunch this week.
The Core:We fail to see how that is a problem?
Marcy: It’s unhealthy. You’re gonna send us into an early grave.
The Core: Health is not an issue! As long as we are here, our body will always be healthy!
Marcy: Well, I’m tired of eating junk food all the time!
The Core:
The Core:*Creates a migraine*
Marcy: Ow. Ow! OW! WHAT? WHY!?
The Core: We want McNuggets.
This would also mean that Marcy outlives everyone she knows and loves.
