[ID: A digital drawing. Marissa stands before Echidna, holding a sun before her. Fire billows out from her sun, around Marissa, silhouetting her. Within the mass of Echidna, four monstrous mouths and one human mouth stretch open, and five monstrous eyes reflect the flames.]

“Marissa!” Echidna screamed, her voice guttural, voiced from five different mouths. “Mars! It’s too soon! I want to kill them! I want to kill them all! Kill this world! Destroy this universe that did this to me! Not yet, Mars!”

— Worm, Scourge 19.7

marissas life literally sucked so bad like

- best friend dies horribly via bifurcation in event that cosmically dooms her & all of her friends (they have to leave his body behind also)

- gains powers that thrust her into the one scenario she was trying so very hard to avoid

- has to watch other best friend morph slowly into the monstrous kaiju embodiment of her eating disorder for 2 years (likely knowing all the while that she is one of the only ppl able to kill her)

- meets someone who lets her vent a teeny bit & offers a bit of much-needed companionship & then immediately shows themselves to be eerily accustomed & inclined to the same violence she hoped they might be an escape from

- gets thrown up on

- cody always starting shit

- krouse always starting shit

- gay

- forcibly embroiled in the extremely complicated turbulent cape politics of another world

- price for going home & putting an end to all of this is to kill her best friend who rly is not even her best friend anymore .. & by the end of it she herself is not even herself anymore & probably has to go back to her mother

#she was born in a wet cardboard box……….all alone #marissa newland

cw: ableism, Worm spoilers through Scourge 19.7

Thinking about Marissa Newland in the club tonight (Saturday afternoon). What a fast track for needing to go lie down.

Do you ever think about what it takes to be able to kill your best friend? What would your relationship with that friend need to be like? ("Sundancer spoke up, calling out, 'Remember the promise we made together.' Noelle didn’t reply.) How would you need to think of her? ("Hate these runs. People look at me funny when I bring a cart of meat and only meat.") How badly would you need to want to go back to your old life? ("How's life among the Travelers?" "Intense. Violent. Lonely.")

The Travelers entire team dynamic is a hideous torment nexus, but the collapse of Noelle and Marissa's friendship really gets to me. Going from Marissa always making sure Noelle ate to Marissa being ashamed of the food runs is agony. Marissa was Noelle's friend who cared for her, and cared about her, the most. Now, when Marissa talks to Noelle, she doesn't respond. Marissa can hold Dinah while she's sick in Noelle's cage, but can no longer reach out to Noelle. All care is completely cut off - Noelle is only a disease, who needs to be managed and grieved.

Marissa hates hurting people, but she can kill Noelle. Taylor just has to first tell Marissa that Noelle is no longer herself. (“She’s… she was my best friend.” “She’s not Noelle anymore.”)

Of course, it's so much more nightmarishly complicated than that. Marissa isn't a bad person, here - she's handling a horrible situation imperfectly. Marissa still loves Noelle. She insists to Taylor over and over again that Noelle is her friend, despite everything. But for one hideous moment, Marissa has to believe that Noelle isn't there, that the thing that Noelle has become isn't really her friend, isn't a person, before she can do the deed. And then Marissa goes right back to mourning.

It's awful. It's an incredibly well-executed tragedy. I don't really have much of a point beyond that, other than, damn. It really does suck that Noelle's friends - even her friend who best understood her struggles - no longer see Noelle as a person. Can't believe that's what killed her, in the end.

#much like there is an absolute gulf between 'treatment' and 'cure'#it's the difference between 'care' and 'management' for me #worm #parahumans #personhood with noelle is such a complicated topic that i really want to sink my teeth into #how much of noelle is her? how much is her shard? who benefits from the noelle-versus-shard divide? and so on #but i still need to finish worm lol #currently on arc 29 as of writing this post
