Banicarlos

"If I had been able to accept you the day of that party, Perhaps I could have also saved you"

- Carlos reflecting on his past with Banica in Drug of Gold

Banicarlos is the het ship between Banica Conchita and Carlos Marlon from the Evillious Chronicles fandom.

Canon
When Carlos was around 15, he became engaged to Banica, who had recently been suffering greatly from her family troubles. Though originally he disliked her for her reputation and appearance, he grew to become friends with her after realising they had more in common than they first thought. After becoming closer, they both decided that the idea of being in a relationship would be fine with them, and finalised the engagement. However, during a celebration party, the wine glass at the table caused Banica to recollect her trauma and eat greedily, much to Carlos’s shock. Because of this, the engagement was called off, and the two didn’t see each other for a long time.

Years later, when Carlos was imprisoned by AB-CIR he overheard rumours about Banica’s apparent ‘madness’. He decided to help the mage in her plans to retrieve Banica’s wine glass, taking the form of the cook Josef Crim. Soon he was hired by Banica as her fifteenth cook, with the woman having no clue of his true identity. Despite the circumstances, however, Carlos was happy to see Banica again, and amazed by how much she had changed since they were younger.

One night, Banica revealed to Carlos that she knew of his real identity much to his surprise. Touched and a bit scared of her mildly drunken state, they spent time together. Life went on as normal for a while until Carlos learnt about Banica’s plans to eat everything in the world, which caused him to panic and try to run away. He was caught by the undead around the mansion and brought back, where Banica told him that she wouldn’t punish him, but he wouldn’t be allowed to leave ever again.

One night, Carlos became desperate to save Banica somehow, and came up with the idea to put poison in their shared soup and eat it together, dying together. He pulled off his plan, only to realise at the end that Banica was immune to the poison. Shocked, Carlos soon died on how much he had eaten. After his death, Banica ate Carlos’s body, both happy to eat her beloved and also upset at his death. Unknown to Carlos at the time of his death, Banica was pregnant with his child, who would be born after his death. Carlos remained in Banica’s stomach while she was a demon until around EC 1000, where he escaped and was given a new body. He then followed Banica into Evil’s Theater 2 and travelled to a parallel universe with her and others that they knew.

Fanon
Banicarlos is an extremely popular ship and is often seen by the fandom as rather sweet and tragic. Some fans ship it due to their canon relationship, others due to their shared trauma. Because of the family dynamic of the so-called ‘Gluttony Crew’, some fans headcanon Carlos as the father and Banica as the mother. Some fan interpretations rely on Carlos’s self-pity, and Banica helping him to overcome it and become a stronger person. On AO3 under the Evillious Chronicles tag, it is the 5th highest relationship in general and the 4th highest romantic relationship.
