Me circa 2018: what the fuck is a mangos archives

Me, 2023, covered in blood: I get it now.

There is some so insanely heartbreaking to me about Jonathan Sims and the way the statements were recorded. They were all originally handwritten which is such a very human thing, using your own flesh and blood write something down, just the amount of effort and emotion that goes into that. And then Jon had to digitize them using a tape recorder, definitely a lot less human as it’s now batteries and tape but still human enough since it’s using his voice. And now he’s fully inhuman, robotic, stuck in a computer, where there used to be blood and skin and bone there is now plastic and wires and a screen.

I’m currently studying funeral services and in my embalming textbook it talks about how one woman phrased it like “a dead body is an object, but it is an object unlike any other object, cannot be like any other object, because this object used to be alive” and I really like that, it feels comforting, it feels human. Jon doesn’t get this though, he was terrified of being inhuman and he doesn’t even get to be human in this “somewhere else” he doesn’t get to be an object that used to be alive, he is just an object, like a pencil that wrote down the original statements, or the tape recorder that used to record them, and now the computer.

Inktober/Whumptober day 9: Obsession

Had to draw Jonathan Sims from the Magnus Archives, there wasn't another choice. He litterally obsessed himself into and eyepocolypse because he couldn't let the spooks alone.

On the F!Jon with fangs thing and the last post about eating statements;

Tim or someone walking into Jon's office. F!Jon is gnawing on a tape in a last ditch unsuccessful effort to find out what the fangs are for. They make eye contact. No words are exchanged. Tim has completely forgotten what he even needed to ask about, but he's sure it couldn't have been that important. He slowly backs out of the room and closes the door.

Past!Jon went to the bathroom so Future!Jon took advantage of this and tried to eat a tape

society if knowledge and secrets (the Eye) vs. narrative and meaning (the Web) wasn’t presented as a strict dichotomy where one Fear alone developed the ability to Think but rather our amorphous blob of terror being an exploration of epistemology and metafiction. society if there was at the very least an actual discussion of the Spider’s desire to proliferate in and feed on infinite realities being the same hunger that drove Jonah Magnus and how they both deified the same man over it, making him the site of violence in this cosmic struggle between fate and free will.

last night i had a dream that apparently jonathan sims x jane prentiss became a popular ship in the fandom and the ship name was "tapeworm"????

i'm confused but whoever writes my dreams was kinda cooking with that ship name.
