big fan of characters who think jon's whole situation is just not that big of a deal. yeah you're a monster but have you considered going to the club. thinking of daisy "you need to stop swanning around being all sad" and helen distortion's "do try to lighten up". listen I know you think you shouldn't be alive but can you at least be whismical with it
Wheres that "I believe in female surpremacy" meme with Michael and Helen, after the recent EP I find it important to bring it up again.
(Like, why does she bully him so hard, Miss Richardson, you already killed him, you dont also need to roast his corpse. Shes fuckin T-posing, margarita in hand, on his grave, fucking queen)
Ngl as much as I love, live and breathe The Magnus Archives, it probably has ruined my relationship to horror forever.
Like I cant watch a horror movie without assigning entities. Reading up on some regional gothic? Ah that's just some stranger, hunt and dark fuckery, that's it. Any body horror reminds me of what a meathead Jared Hopworth it. Witches? Just living up their lifes in Web/Corruption territory.
just finished tma mag 67 burning desire and does anyone else feel an intense attraction to Agnes Montague or is that just me like during this I was kicking my feet blushing
Tma animatic to sailor song and it’s just various ships. The could each get a little part and some lyrics and it’d be so cute. Why do I have so many tma animatic concepts I have a problem
Listened to mag 200 today at school and proceeded to go up to one of my best friends, grab their shoulders and absolutely throttle them while rambling about tragic gay people
Tma AU where Jonah fucked up his ritual when transferring to Elias’ body and still exists but is like. On the backburner unable to control the body. Because he’s a loser. So OG Elias is able to hear everything he thinks but Jonah can’t do anything. And so he learns the evil plan to end the world and immediately decides nope that’s NOT happening.
And since James Wright appointed him as the next Head of the Institute he has full control over everything he destroys every single bit of Jonah’s carefully laid masterplan. And Jonah suffers seeing everything he’s build fall like a house of cards. At the end Elias just goes and kills Jonah — there were concerns that it may also kill him, but he was ready to sacrifice himself — and comes out alive and free from voyeristic georgian men.
Elias establishes something of a truce with Gertrude after explaining the situation and also perhaps maybe telling her that Jonah mentioned one of her assistants is of the Web and what does that mean? Also what are the rituals and why does Jonah keep saying they don’t work unless you— (Gertrude cuts him off before he says it out loud. Walls have ears. You never know who might be listening).
Michael doesn’t die. Neither does Gerry, because after he faints for the third time at the Institute — Elias doesn’t have spooky eldritch eye powers, but he has office gossip, and that’s basically the same thing — Elias personally goes down to the Archives and tells him to go to the fucking doctor dude. Gerry smokes weed with him after a few months and thanks him for potentially saving his life
By the time Gertrude dies, which is post Stranger ritual (not shot by him, but still probably not peacefully, knowing her) Sasha becomes the next Archivist, and her role in the overall world of the Fears — Elias is not an avatar, doesn’t want to be, but has some leftover traits from Jonah’s inhabitance in his body, and knows a lot — is explained before she signs any contract. Also you’re not tied for life, fuck that. There’s a mandatory Entities 101 for every employee, no matter what department they work in; the vast majority of them come here seeking answers for what really ruined their lives, none of them deserve to die because nobody tells them what they’re actually fighting against. Tim — very much alive — goes to the Archives with Sasha, Jon stays in reaserch and eventually becomes Head Researcher. Martin goes to college part time at some point. Life is good
