A quick rundown if you don't know: the 5 beasts were once ancient heroes but got corrupted and became the 5 beasts of deceit (shadow milk), sloth (eternal sugar), apathy (mystic flower), destruction (burning spice), and silence (silent salt).

First off shadow milk cookie, he's a good match for sally since shadow milk is the beast of deceit and Sally's main attacks come from illusions which are a form of deceit.

2nd is burning spice cookie, his best match is drag.

3rd is eternal sugar, Misery is probably a decent match

4th is mystic flower, apathy can be aligned with pessimism hence why Markus is a good match.

5th and final is silent salt with dred, The beast of silence with the god of speed.

Like how the hell does CHRISTMAS ROSE have more notable moments than him, istg sooner or later markus and shin gonna have a duel to the death just for bonus screentime

I'd feel like their friendship would be... odd. they often don't need to use words to understand one another, sometimes all it takes is a simple nod and bam full uderstandment of one another.

I believe that at they same time they'd also possess a silent but intense rivalry with one another, it'd suprise everyone to see just how determined they are to best one another,

Especially Markus given his constant pessimism that seems to shut off entirely around dred.

As for battle I think they'd be suprisingly lethal, I mean really the god of death+ a trapper with decently versatile abilities AND a chameleon with an invisibly skill can equal for a pretty lethal combo if up against the wrong opponent,

But of course they'd still lose to maple cause she's maple.

For the 1st uma I'd claim I would pick anime McQueen not because she's meta because I absolutely adore her outfit and ult animation.

Now the 2nd uma I'd pick is sweep tosho, I love her outfit and most end closers and I missed out on her because they instead decided to give me rice, taiki, and palmer so I'd like to get her.

And now the 3rd, this one was a tie between café and bright but in the end I chose bright since her growth rates and ult are pretty solid, the issue with café especially in grand live is that stamina training is basically a no-go and she only has a 30% stamina growth and nothing else unlike bright who has growths in stamina, guts, and wit.

I do not care about Aston machan and will not pull her. this is NO hate towards her, the irl mare, or her fans if you like her that's your opinion because that is your oshi it's just that she doesn't click for me. At all.

Do I find her design cute and kit solid? Yes, but do I care about and will pull her? No, mostly because I'm a late/end closer main and don't necessarily care much about front runners and because her story doesn't click something in me.

It'll only be a few more months until I can get rob roy and make her the ultimate late surger, I must RESIST

The most iconic duo: the tall healer mom and her pessimistic (reformed) emo trapper son

Though at least I now have a good tt mile uma now

The 3 musketeers of pessimism

Together they are Maple Syrup

Maple has permanently scarred Markus for life

He's both the king of ordinary and king of minimalism

I mean what are the odds

Also I used placeholder names for them both, the fic is completed and will be posted on ao3 in a couple of minutes. It is smut so read it if your comfortable with it.

let's all have long hair and not tell Markus
