Why I won't put any impact play (or S/m) in Marc and Layla's D/s

Obviously, with the Marc system's past, it would be a very delicate thing to bring up and to do. Could it be done therapeutically? Eh, maybe for some other people but not for them I don't think (that I've mentioned before).

The main thing though for me, and it's of course very related to their past traumas, is that Marc is a masochist.

And not in a sexy way, but in a pathological way.

He doesn't self-harm (that we know), however he doesn't care about getting hurt at all and I would even say he wants to be hurt.

616!Marc not dodging hits but taking them all could be easily read that way, and the show gave us a few clues that MCU!Marc is the same. The way he ran into that wooden fence instead of just jumping over it, the way he shrugged off being impaled multiple times, the way he was hoping - looking to - get killed when he fought as Moon Knight but the super-healing got in the way.

But also, the way he jumped off of that castle in episode 1? Thinking about it, he could have found another way to escape the shooters. I know it was a very quick decision on his part to escape them, but just the fact that he didn't even think about the physical consequences of jumping from that high (and wasn't expecting Steven to wake up from it instead of himself) means that he didn't care about getting hurt at all.

So, does he have a complete disregard for his own physical safety both with and without the Moon Knight suit ?

Definitely.

Does it go to the point of him even looking to get hurt and being masochistic? Well that depends on the interpretation. With what we've got of their past though, I think it's a pretty valid interpretation, and it's my interpretation of Marc.

So I won't make them do any S/m, since it's pretty dangerous and ill-advised to indulge someone's pathological masochism within S/m play.

I might read some fics with that though, I'm sure some people wrote it well.
