#marter

Like I know it's not spelt the same, but MARTER sounding like Martyr is way too perfect for their relationship. Please, I beg- we need Marter.

Mark Jarrell

meet MARTER! a soul stuck within an old, barely functioning DS with 'Bowsers inside Story' still inside. the game has been broken, now only showing shades of red and black. MARTER is a fellow who just wants to have fun.. yet doesn't understand that the 'fun' he likes is basically torture. taking over Mario's code, MARTER tries his best to have fun with everyone, and specifically, Luigi.. who over the years may have gained a very basic sentience..

so yeah, ive had the idea of a 'spooky bowsers inside story' thing for a good while. only now have i made it real with this guy!

“I am Marter.”

Marlee+Carter=Marter.

Marter sounds like martyr.

A martyr is someone who gives up their life for a cause.

Marlee and Carter almost gave their lives for love.

And, as we all know, true love is one of the most noble causes of all.

Maxon and America

They met for the first time in university.

Maxon is the son of Gregory, the president of the university, and America is the recipient of a full scholarship given by a lottery.

Maxon saw her around campus several times and tried to talk, but she brushed off all his advances.

She accepted to go out on a date with him, but thinking he was coming onto her too fast, she kicked him hard in the “thigh.”

Maxon was immediately in love.

It took a while for her to warm up to him, but eventually she became his Wingwoman and they’d go to clubs together to pick up dates.

This usually ended with them making out and agreeing that they’d be nothing more than friends afterward.

Both, however, secretly wanted each other, but each thought it’d be best to focus on school.

So much pining

It wasn’t until Graduation Day that Maxon came out with it, and, well, let’s just say America was more than a little enthusiastic.

Lucy and Aspen

He was in the police academy

She was a barista in coffee shop.

Not a very good one

She got his order wrong

He gave her a tip anyway

They didn’t speak for months, but continued with their little routine:

Order, get it wrong, tip, smile, repeat.

One day after her shift, she found a coffee cup with her name and a number written in black marker.

She didn’t call it.

The next time he came in, his cup had a name and a number

Marlee and Carter

Marlee’s grandparents were paying for her college. They were strict people and forbid her from seeing anyone who could show romantic interest. She didn’t date, but that didn’t stop her from going to wild parties with her friends

That’s where she met Carter. Immediately she knew he was special.

Marlee deceived her grandparents for months and dated Carter behind their backs.

It was all spoiled one day when her grandparents showed up at her apartment for a surprise visit. Needless to say it didn’t go well when they spotted her and Carter.

Marlee was told they’d pay nothing toward her college, apartment, and never let her come home.

Carter dropped out of the police force to get a job and help pay for Marlee’s college.

They got married young and rented a crabby little apartment while Marlee finished up her last year of school.

She graduated with top marks and a little boy clinging to her hip.
