Magnus podcast AU idea: Fear is a good thing, actually.
In the words of my favorite Doctor Who, "fear is a superpower." Fear tells you when there are dangerous and bad things happening. Fear motivates you to protect yourself and others. Fear activates your adrenaline and all those hidden human superpowers. A well-adjusted sense of fear is a good thing. Having no fear at all is very bad for your self-preservation.
Imagine a world where the Fears are used for good. Heights are dangerous, and people who don't take them seriously could use a little scare. Boeing higher-ups cutting costs and putting people in danger? The Fairchilds might have something to say about that. Sanitation is serious business; city council screwing over sanitation workers? It would be a shame if the mayor's house got a naaaasty worm infestation. Getting stalked? The Hunters have your back, even if you don't know it. Warmongering politicians treating the lives of their citizens like dirt? Stabby stabby.
Oh, and trying to use your awesome newfound Avatar powers to spread wanton destruction and suffering just erodes your sense of self and generally feels Real Bad. The Fears are still unknowable eldritch entities of course, and their servants reflect that, but "fear as a vehicle for human survival and flourishing" is an inexorable part of them. Don't pervert the eldritch entity and it won't pervert you. (Unless you want too many arms/eyeballs/worms/spirals/etc, that's still on the menu of course.)
And maybe, deep down, even the Fears want to learn to be appreciated, just a little...

A Total Drama Magnus Archives AU
Day 7: Free Day!
Alright gang, this one’s going to be a bit different as this is what I’ve got the energy for right now. Rather than tell a narrative like I usually do, I’m just going to infodump the ideas I currently have about this AU.
The important thing to know is that this AU takes place parallel to most of the events happening in canon Magnus Archives. Though in this case the setting is actually The Usher Foundation, the sister organization in the Americas. Spoilers for The Magnus Archives because it’s going into it.
Everyone’s in their late 20’s here mainly because they need to have full time jobs for this to work. Also, please do check tags.
(It’s also got a very heavy focus on Alenoaheather as villains and I won’t apologize for this)
@total-drama-horror-week
Characters and their Roles
Usher Foundation
Gwen: Protagonist, pretty much takes up Jon's role except instead of recording tapes, she listens to tapes and makes forensic sketches so that the Foundation can actually be able to recognize what they're dealing with. Her sketches are hauntingly accurate. Becomes an avatar of the eye.
Courtney: The foundation's lawyer. Her main job is pretty much protecting the foundation from all the lawsuits about break ins that the investigator types just constantly do. Is a skeptic about all this and just took the job because she needed an in to the field and this is just what she found. Does start believing when she realizes her friend Bridgette is different even though everyone else claims she's still the same. And thus having to deal with Not-Bridgette.
The Antagonist Trio
Alejandro: Avatar of The Spiral. Comes from the Burromuerto family who have aligned themselves with The Buried. After…separating himself from family tradition, dedicates himself to The Spiral. Hypnotizes people into states of mind where they lose sense of self, direction, purpose, you name it. His hair is full of curls and his pupils fractalize when he’s hypnotizing someone, or when he’s feeling extreme emotion.
Heather: Avatar of The Web. Was once a regular spider that was gifted with ascension into avatarhood from the entity that spawned her. Now exists as a drider that tricks humans into coming enough to her so that she can paralyze, cocoon them, and eat them at her leisure.
Noah: Avatar of The Eye. Only surviving member of his family line in the event that saw him become an avatar. Feeds on learning and seeing others' traumas. Scrambles around trying to figure out avatarhood until he meets Alejandro, and later Heather. Works for the Usher Foundation to feed himself and feed his partners intel and vulnerable statement-givers to feast on. Peers into others’ worst traumas and can force them to relive it in their minds. He has an eye each on the backs of his hands.
Miscellaneous
Izzy: Avatar of The Hunt. She goes out of her way to encourage others to give in to predator/prey instincts. She enjoys watching the chaos go down between the Usher Foundation and the antagonist trio. She stays on the fence and would help either side if asked.
Eva: Avatar of The Slaughter. Or at least aligned with it. Offers herself as a mercenary so that she can satisfy her bloodlust. Works a lot with the Foundation but can be persuaded to work against them if someone else can offer her a better fight.
Backstories
Noah
Noah's part of a big human family with a lineage of being involved in supernatural things, from research to hunting to capturing to study etc. Basically a more localized version of the Institute/Foundation. They're more a neutral party rather than just for the side of humanity though, which somewhat puts them at odd with them.
The Mudaliars are one of the safer bets of information for those outside of the Usher Foundation. Of course there is usually a price in terms of exchange of information, corpses of what they kill (one of his sisters really likes dissecting things), just money, etc. Noah isn't the most sociable or the one who's normally 'customer' facing, but he's the one who stays at home the most while the others are out and about. They need to leave at least one person at home at all times to deal with clients that might come in, and that person was Noah once he was old enough to start getting into the family business.
The problem was their extralegal status ar semi-archivists led them vulnerable to those aligned with Entities. The large size of their family also made them a tantalizing target. Thus the family, Noah included, were kidnapped in an attempt at a Mass Ritual to bring forth all the Entities into the realm.
The ritual involves each Mudaliar being sacrificed in a different location for a different entity. Noah is meant to be a sacrifice for The Lonely, so he’s locked into solitary confinement, with his only interactions with the outside world being pictures slid under his door of the corpse of each family member as they get sacrificed for their entity.
He’s able to piece together what’s happening, though with dread realizes there’s little he can do to fix the situation. His one chance is to disrupt the ritual, though his options on that are very limited. Eventually he settles on the idea that he could devote himself to a different entity to disrupt it and save himself.
He knows he’s caught in a trap of the lonely, doomed to die a slow and agonizing death of dehydration and starvation being all by himself with nothing to eat or drink. Thus he turns his attention to attracting the attention of The Eye. His one idea for how to do this is to dedicate himself to keeping track of his own deterioration.
He commits energy he should be preserving writing down everything he’s learned, not sleeping until his body forces him to collapse in exhaustion and then just starting up again when he’s recovered. Running out of pen and paper and thus using whatever he can get his hands on, eventually resorting to his own blood in his commitment to make sure his knowledge doesn’t die with him.
Eventually, it works as he’s granted avatarhood. The downside is that he did this while still connected with his remaining family. Becoming an avatar of The Eye saved himself and the world, but it killed the rest of his family. Leaving him alone anyways.
He wanders around for a while trying to figure out what there even is to do about his life until he comes across Alejandro when he’s trying to feed himself with forbidden information.
Alejandro
The Burromuertos are a family that have served The Buried for generations (similar to the Lukas family). Serving The Buried has led them to getting riches untold from the ground. Their family always lives in prosperity.
However, this gift isn’t without sacrifice. Each generation, the Burromuertos have to sacrifice one of their own to The Buried. In the days of old this involved taking the sacrifice and shoving them inside of a special suit of armor. The person inside would still be kept alive, and slowly crushed to death over the course of their lifetime. The suit act independently of the will of the victim, following the orders of the Burromuertos outside. The victim would power that suit of armor that serves as a guardian.
By the time that victim is used up, they would have been crushed into a diamond. That diamond is then placed into a display room that only the heads of the household know about. It’s part of the guardian’s duty to protect this room, as well as the rest of the mansion and Burromuertos.
Over time, the suit of armor modernized to something more akin to a robot suit. Tradition made it so that the youngest would be the one sacrificed so that more time would last between replacements. It also had the head of the family sire children in threes: The first to inherit the family legacy, the second just in case anything happened to the first, and then the third to be the sacrifice.
Alejandro was led to believe that he was simply meant to inherit part of the family wealth. He knows of his family’s history with The Buried, but not exactly what the sacrifice entails. (Burromuertos are only allowed to know about the ritual once they’ve produced a potential heir since their use as a sacrifice becomes nonexistent.)
His time comes early, just before reaching adulthood, when the old sacrifice fully crystalizes. He’s shoved into a suit and discovers just how much value his family put into him.
He stayed like this for a few years. He learned to have only quick, shallow breaths, as anything longer would see his prison tighten around him. Although he had been conditioned to be loyal the The Buried even in this tortured state, he was always ambitious, and was never quite as loyal as his family would have liked.
Instead, he follows a descent towards The Spiral. With nothing else to do, there’s only trying to mentally escape his current reality of being crushed and trapped. He’d rather do that than acknowledge his family knows he’s alive, but will do nothing to save him because he wasn’t good enough for them to produce a younger child to spare him from this fate.
He’s somewhat aware of the things that happen outside of the suit, though he much prefers to stay inside with his hallucinations.
This is until Noah comes to free him. It wasn’t intentional. Truth be told on Noah’s end, he was just hungry for knowledge since The Eye was making it known he wasn’t feeding it properly. A rich family like the Burromuertos seemed like they’d have just the knowledge he needed. The robot at their beck and call was just another obstacle to deal with.
In trying to flee from and destroy the suit Noah accidentally ended up freeing Alejandro. Noah has a heart so he helps bring Alejandro back to reality. Alejandro has a heart full of hatred and pettiness so when he finds out why Noah’s there, he agrees to help steal from his own family.
Using what he’d learned from his time in the robot suit, he helps Noah steal some wealth, particularly the family diamonds.
Though when he touches one of them to put away he finds out they're still conscious thanks to inherited psychic link of having been trapped in the suit just like them.
The two of them bond through working with the diamonds. Noah uses Alejandro as a conduit to peer into the diamonds and feed off their traumas, while Alejandro gets the knowledge his family denied him without having to relive his own trauma inside the suit.
They stick together for a while, surviving using Noah’s knowledge about entities and Alejandro’s newfound hardiness. Experiencing the pressure of the suit has left him stronger and tougher than before as gravity now as nothing than the gravity he’s used to.
Though the whole time they’re doing so Alejandro still has nightmares from his time trapped in the suit. The terror always comes from The Buried, but then salvation comes in the lies he tells himself. The lies he tells to others to forget things. In fractals and spirals and other.
He gives in to The Spiral so that nothing else can ever claim him again. And life is pretty easy.
Up until they meet Heather.
Heather
Heather started off as a store-raised spider. As a spider she was naturally touched by The Web, enough to have a small form of sentience. Her dwelling was small and cramped, and meals didn't always come on time. She wasn't the happiest with it, but she also didn't really understand what happiness was. It was enough to survive so she lived with it, though the part of her that could think wanted more.
She thought she'd get this when she was bought by a teen. That teen provided her a much bigger terrarium, and went so far as to get her live food. She discovered what enjoyment was when she drained the life out of a fly. She was content. She actually grew to a healthier size for her species since she was malnourished before.
That teen seemed really excited to have her. Something about 'revenge', though Heather didn't know what that word meant. She figured it had something to do with that older sibling that constantly seemed to pick on them. Though that older sibling was squeamish around her, and thus she learned what fear was.
All this came to a head when it came to what her owner referred to as 'the big day'. Heather didn't know much of what was going on. All she knew was that she was placed into the smaller container her owner used when they wanted to carry her out of the house, and stuffed into their pocket. It was dark and cozy so while she didn't appreciate the jostling, it wasn't so bad. The next thing she knew she was taken out of that container and placed onto something with a lot of pink frills. She was pretty confused, but was able to piece together that she'd just been placed onto the ballerina outfit of that older sibling. She was content to stay in place until the performance started and the older sister began to dance.
In order to not be flung off, Heather clung as tightly as she could. Until, eventually, she heard a familiar tune. It was a song she'd heard play every meal time. One she'd eventually learn was called Dance of the Sugar Plum fairy. So, as she took this to mean that despite these circumstances that food was here, she emerged from beneath the folds. This immediately got screams from the other performers and the audience. And eventually that older sister when she realized there was a spider on her during the performance of her lifetime.
Despite Heather's intelligence, she was barely able to process the speed at which she was flung off from that body. Before she could recover from the fall, someone else came and squashed her.
The curtains fell, and everyone was fleeing from her mangled, still living body. Twitching in agony. There was screaming all around. But there was also laughter. One she recognized.
It was from her human. Laughing at a prank pulled off. Uncaring for her agony now that her job was done. No attempt to rescue her despite the love and care she thought she'd understood. The only mercy she received was from the ballet teacher who came to finish the job just so he could salvage the disaster of a performance.
It was in her death that she was able to meet her mother. The Great Spider. She was offered the chance to become the manipulator. It was her birthright, after all. She took it without hesitation.
One by one those who attended that performance went missing.
One by one she perfected her craft of trickery and deceit.
She saved her owner for last.
The look on her face was satisfying.
Thus, Heather started to fully live her life in her new form as a half-human, half-spider. Her human half took inspiration from what the idea her previous owner wished for herself. She uses social media to trick her victims into coming closer, and then when meeting them in real life, webs them up to consume them.
She’s had hunters try to take her down, and other people stumble into her lair, but none of them were really of importance.
Not until Alejandro and Noah, who find their way into her lair in their attempts to get a break from other avatars/humans in between their feeding sessions.
Heather tried to trick them into thinking she was just another victim who needed to be helped to get them to come closer. Unfortunately for her, they were both smart enough to know something was wrong. Noah outright said as much, to Alejandro’s chagrin as he wanted to lure her into a false sense of security thinking that they’d fallen for it.
They have this conversation about how this should have been handled in front of Heather. Honestly, it was pretty hilarious seeing them seemingly not understand the danger they were in.
Still, Heather had a job to do, so she threw away the false pretenses and chased after them.
Despite their banter they do prove themselves rather competent in evading her. Alejandro tries to hypnotize her, though as an avatar of The Web she’s highly resistant to attempts to manipulate her. Still, she’s impressed. So much so that she agrees to let them go.
…And then proceeds to follow them around while disguised as a regular spider in order to see if her hunch about these two having more worth is right.
She starts realizing their potential, though is unaware of the fact that they know she’s watching them thanks to Noah’s connection to The Eye.
Though this time he's smart enough to sneak this information to Alejandro rather than outright say it considering what happened the last time he decided to out her. Alejandro gets the idea to put on more of a show of their capabilities since he can recognize that she's sizing them up.
When it eventually does get public that they’re sizing each other up, that’s when they agree to an alliance. They’ll work together to keep each other fed and make sure they each stay alive.
No matter what.
Domains and Avatars in a Changed World
The Change still happens as it does in canon. Nobody has a direct part in it, though Alenoaheather are a continuous threat to The Usher Foundation as a trio of avatars seeking to expand their influence and victims. They get into fights, though the conflicting parties end up surviving to see themselves Changed.
Gwen
Her sketches take on a life of their own. When she sketches something realistically enough, it’ll come to life. She isn’t guaranteed control of it, but it will be there. In addition, if she sketches an individual, she’ll be able to ask it about things that individual knows. If she touches that sketch up to the original, then that person/creature will be trapped within the drawing. If the drawing is destroyed, so are they. Unlike with other deaths in the changed world, this is permanent.
Her domain is Artist’s Alley. There are booths run by abstract figures that buy and sell art. These art pieces are in fact humans/animals trapped in pieces of art. It represents the fear of being put on display for others to gawk at and commodify. She’s vaguely aware it exists, and when she does find out about it avoids it like the plague.
Izzy
She can turn into prey animals that lure unsuspecting victims into an obsessive hunt that never ends until the person can hunt no more and collapses due to exhaustion, dehydration, or a combination. At which point, she then turns into a predator that rips them apart. She waits for them to reform so that she can start the process all over again.
Her domain is The Opened Season. In it humans are caught in a cycle where they are always hunting someone down, while they themselves are always being hunted. It’s based on the fear of not being at the top of the food chain despite being high up there. Izzy spends most of her time here.
Eva
She can take her own emotions and strengths and project them onto others. This is usually rage and results in others getting filled with the urge for violence. This prevents them from thinking straight, which makes them both easier and harder to fight off.
Her domain is The Battle Arena. Humans are made to fight in an continuous onslaught against each other and other beasts and foes. There are places for training that are still met with violence. Places of rest and relaxation are all potential fight pits. It represents the fear of peace not being an option.
Alejandro
Alejandro's domain is The Lulling Field. It looks peaceful, with nothing trying to attack you. The grass is soft. There is a standard cycle of day and night. During the day it's sunny, but there's always shade among the many trees. It's just warm enough to encourage rest without being overbearing. There are poppies with fractal designs that litter the ground. For those who prefer resting inside, there are cabins with the comfiest beds imaginable.
Those who aren't lured by the temptation to sleep find those strange, beautiful poppies start emitting pollen that forces them into slumber.
That's where the horror begins. Once they fall asleep, they are trapped within a non-euclidean dream that never ends. The dream logic is strange and unpredictable. A person loses their sense of attachment to their body as they grapple with viewing themselves in the third person perspective of their dreams.
There are many times where they're allowed to think they've figured out how to escape the dream and have woken up, back to a reality pre-change where nothing bad has happened.
It's always proven as a lie as each 'wake up' is actually them being driven deeper and deeper into their dream. Until they can't even remember what their original reality was like.
The many peaceful sleeping forms that inhabit the field forever hide the torment the dreaming soul is experiencing. They enhance the illusion that it must be safe if so many are comfortable enough to sleep exposed.
The real world is such a harsh place right now.
Don't you deserve the rest?
As its avatar, Alejandro has the ability to travel through and inhabit dreams. In this form his limbs are much longer than they should be, and he’s closer to 8 feet tall. His fingers curl in on themselves but are capable of slicing. His pupils are permanently fractals.
He'll carry poppies that he blows into the faces of those who are awake to knock them out. He'll often go into those of his victims and insert himself as their dearest, most trusted friend.
Sometimes he'll try to convince them that they're insane for thinking that their dream is anything but reality. Other times he'll help them 'discover' their unreality and help them 'escape'. Truly let them think they're the protagonist trying to free their people. only to laugh when they just go right into the next layer of dreaming thinking that they've finally won.
His realm represents the fear of falling asleep and never waking up.
Noah
Noah's domain is The Library. Which, as the name implies, is a giant library with books filled on every subject known and unknown to mankind. There are cameras watching every shelf.
There are reference desks centered at the entrances/exits with mechanical attendants. Those attendants can answer questions in regards to basic questions about the section they reside over, but anybody seeking specific questions, or who wishes to borrow a book, need to make their way to the main reference desk in the center, which is where Noah resides.
The directions and maps to get to that main desk are confounded by riddles that must be solved using intelligence. If solved properly it's a quick trek to the main desk. Otherwise, it takes ages to stumble to the right spot, though being smart enough to make one's own map that works for them will also get them there quicker, albeit still slower than if they'd solved the original riddle.
Anyone in The Library will want to make their way to that central desk fast, because it has regular hours, and closed time where the lights go dark. The attendants make their rounds at dark.
Any visitor caught by an attendant is dragged to the central reference desk, frozen and put On Hold on a large shelf until Noah can come to deal with them when The Library opens again. The same thing will happen if they're caught stealing a book or damaging anything in The Library, which is nigh impossible to get away with with all the cameras.
Those who have broken the rules have all their knowledge forcibly extracted from them by Noah. His fingers slip through their skull to pull out their brain and spread it into sheets as thin as paper. The grooves of the brain become lines of text as they're separated into neat sheets of paper. Their bodies are used as the leather needed to bind the new book together. They're still alive and conscious through this whole process as they get shelved away into the appropriate section. To stay there until someone feels like checking them out.
Anyone who does make their way willingly to Noah during business hours has the option to ask for a library card. Library card holders are allowed to stay in the library after hours (so long as they hold firm to the no stealing or destroying property rule).
They can stay in the library as long as they like without need to worry about Noah. However, his partners do like to come visit from time to time, and they're always eager for more victims. Noah won't do a thing to stop them. So any humans can stay at their own risk.
Library card holders are also able to borrow books from the library. Regular books can be borrowed without issue. However, more valuable books, such as books that would help them survive and understand the new world they live in or books that were once people that have all their valuable knowledge, require valuable knowledge to be given in return.
A person can either let Noah Behold them for a traumatic memory that they will then be forced to relive as he examines it and determines if it's a worthy trade for the book they want. Or they can give up a cherish memory for him to turn into a book. They'll never be able to remember that memory again.
This domain's fear is about getting caught breaking a rule you didn't know existed. Getting punished in a way that far outmatches the crime. The rules are nowhere to be found so you have to either ask for them and risk somehow breaking them that way, or stumble around and hope you don't break them.
It's a surveillance state with an apathetic watcher. He only care for his books, not people. He doesn't want to be here. If he's made to deal with it he takes it out on the person who interrupted his brief moments of peace before going back to his task.
Noah's also got the ability to peer into someone's immediate future based on their current thoughts. He doesn't pack much of a punch himself aside from his 'blast them with the PTSD' ability. But he can dodge attacks because he can See them coming.
Rather than just have the two extra eyes, he now has eyes covering every part of his body. If he touches a person, he can place one of his eyes onto them so he can see what they experience.
He also has at least a vague awareness of what's going on in each of those cameras at all times.
Heather
Her domain is called The Spider's Den. There are spiders and webbing everywhere. There's evidence that there was once remnants of humanity but it's all overtaken by webbing. Stepping on the webbing sends vibrations to other strands, which is how spiders get alerted to the presence of humans. Only baby spiders are the size of regular ones from Pre-change. Spiders now are on average the size of humans.
Once they paralyze and cocoon their victims, they drag them over to the central web to present them to their queen: Heather. She'll inflict her own venom on them, and only then will she unravel their cocoon. Not to free them, of course. She rips into a person to pull out their nerves.
She turns the webbing into strings and replaces the nerves with them. With the end of their strings attached to herself. She forces them to play along into a fascimile of normalcy where Heather is the main star. Everyone else is merely there to compliment her and revolve around her.
When she doesn't need somebody anymore, she'll cut their webbing. They'll collapse with nothing to hold them up, and stay there paralyzed thanks to her venom and their lack of nerves. They're left to just watch as life goes on without them. Occasionally being used by other spiders as new nests. If Heather does remember they exist and wants them again, then she'll reconnect their strings and start the show all over again.
The domain itself is more about the general fear of spiders, but Heather has also turned it into the fear of being an insignificant player in someone else's story.
Her avatar ability is that ability to connect people to herself via webbing, and then control them as she pleases. Her venom enacts a permanent paralysis. While in her previous drider form her human half was mostly human, now her top half is much more spider-like. She has eight eyes and she has mandibles. She’s also bigger, standing closer to 12 feet.
Endgame
So there’s no concrete endgame for this AU, as it’s more ideas and concepts than anything.
I will say that post-change, Alenoaheather perform an unholy wedding in order to marry their domains together. It involves many a sacrifice, and they ‘invite’ the few outside of themselves that they care about to it. Mind you, they do this with the intention of keeping them trapped forever, but still.
One of which being Carlos, who has to grapple with the fact that his little brother has now become this monster. Carlos is just a human caught in all of this. Despite Alejandro’s best efforts, his abilities do overtake Carlos just with his sheer presence and Carlos becomes closer to a vegetable than anything.
Alejandro refuses to acknowledge this and treats Carlos as if he isn’t talking to a shell of a man.
Gwen and Courtney are traveling about trying to fix the world in whatever way they can. Mostly by killing off other avatars.
Eventually, the change gets reverted, though I can’t decide whether Alenoaheather gets defeated by Gwourtney before the change gets reverted, or if they become normal after the change and get hunted down by everyone else.
Either way, that’s all I have for this AU for now! Don’t know if I’ll decide to expand upon it more but hope you guys enjoyed it!

The Hermitcraft Permit Office is two doors and another disc away from being a servant to The Spiral*
Therefore, PO!Grian and/or The Manager could be servants of the Spiral and/or Avatars
*The Spiral is a Fear Entity from popular podcast The Magnus Archives, and feeds on fear for a lot of things within a general category. Backrooms-type spaces and insanity fall well within its domain

Had a thought
I had this thought for like a Magnus Archives High School AU, where like, all the entities are these clubs are groups, and Jon is the new kid and notices right away there's something really weird about the town and the school…
Nikola would be this popular girl and a Russian immigrant who runs the Drama Club. Peter runs like a fishing club or something or a Marine club all focused on the ocean and stuff, and his clubmates are known for being really closed off and introverted. Simon would have like an art club because Simon was a painter’s apprentice when he became a vast avatar.
Oliver is the leader of this uh, mortuary club or something… Melanie is known to play in a band and that's The Slaughter, is this band that does really violent songs or a club that studies wars and stuff and does reenactments. Then Elias runs the student council and he takes Jon under his wing alongside other misfits like Martin, Tim, and Sasha… Gertrude was an old member of Elias’s clique who left because she graduated and went missing and nobody knows where she went.
Annabelle doesn't run a club but has like a goth group of friends who are really manipulative and obsessed with spiders. Michael and Helen co-run a club for like… actually don't know…
Agnes has a group that are known for starting fires and is Jude’s girlfriend. Lesbians. Yes.
And also Tim has a reputation of sleeping around, Martin really looks up to Peter and nobody knows why but then oop it’s revealed they’re cousins and stuff.

fuck it. extremely quick and incomprehensible sketch of my tma genshin impact au. eat it.
the plot follows the aftermath of the reconstruction of the Fontaine Research Institute under Jonah Magnus, a mysterious now deceased patron from its inception whose will was endowed to its re-building. Jonathan Sims (dendro catslyst), its head archivist, now back home freshly graduated from the Sumeru Akademia, and adventurer-turned-researcher Martin Blackwood (cryo bow), and their colleagues, will soon discover the horrifying secrets behind it all…
so this is an au im trying to fit in the exact parameters of genshin lore. in my ideal world, the plot of this au will be happening at the Same Time as the genshin impact plot but the traveler doesn’t see it because theyre too busy with their own shit. maybe the characters from genshin and the tma characters know eachother.
that means no entities or special avatar powers beyond that a vision can grant them!!
this au has been in my brain for months i have a lot planned out so please feel free to ask me things, whether its plot, character or kit related! wanna talk about this boy so bad
(edit: WHOOPS FORGOT. good portion of the stuff here like the soundwave effects on jon’s magic stuff and bow user martin were inspired by @mothocean’s kit ideas for jmart in genshin !)
basic ideas and concept art below the cut
character concept art sketched onto the basic genshin model:

hm. tell me more about tma x p5 au pretty pleases
well hello there mystery asker yes i will tell you things about tma x p5 au
it has a plot. kind of. this plot is about 75% p5 and 25% tma (more tma towards the end)
the phantom thieves are hunting monsters? are they at risk of becoming the monsters themselves? uh it's fine don't worry about it
not all of them are hunt aligned specifically. joker and ryuji are tho
the shido conspiracy is a web thing. akechi is also a web avatar he is torn because he hates shido and everything he stands for but also he loves being a manipulative little bitch so this is very hard for him you see
the thieves know Nothing about the entities. they're just Guessing
especially pre futaba joining. futaba knows some stuff bc wakaba was researching the fears
she still doesn't know a lot
the major cases being investigated are the ones to do with the palace rulers, but the thieves have taken out more avatars than that (the equivalent of mementos requests + also the strikers monarchs being transplanted into the original game timeline because of the timeline of the au)
akira has fought avatars of. basically every entity, though he doesn't know this. is this relevant? plot important even? well :)
takemi is end-aligned. she's kind of got a similar no fear thing to georgie, except she's done more research into the entities so she has more knowledge which is why she's able to help akira with injuries such as uh. bone got turned
most of the non thief confidants are regular people, though some of them have had encounters with the supernatural
sojiro acts like he doesn't believe in any supernatural stuff but this is because he knows that poking her head too far in was probably what got wakaba killed and hes trying to protect akira + futaba from it
yaldabaoth and the web are being kind of smashed together here
please ask me more about specific things or characters i have little drabbles on half this stuff either in my brain or already written

Ya know what. I’m throwing the main thing going through my mind with the top TMA AU I’ve made. This. May/may not be long. I do have my little rambles lol. Anyway! Let’s goooo!! Please ignore cause it will mention some spoilers- I think? Idk. Going with what I have.
My first ever AU I have made is The Magnus Archives x Clue. Now. I did not think this. I was showing my mom Elias fanart and one of them(yes) had been Elias holding the pipe. And my mom’s response was “It reminds me of Clue”. So that got me thinking. What if I did actually cross it over.
A lot of the thought’s are in my mind lol. And I’ve written the thoughts as well(And got help from a friend :333) but. I have the urge to start making random scenarios. Like just the season 1 crew together and people don’t suspect Martin is the actual killer- but also may write an actual fanfic for once. Will I get to it anytime soon- I- don’t honestly know. Sorry for that. But wanted to see people’s interest. Since ya’ll took a liking to the Plush AU I’ve made not not as much as the Helen AU with “The Yellow Door”
But! I hope you enjoyed this post. Tell me your thoughts if you want to. I’ll be floating around.

Of course it’s Luther who found him. He knew it would be. Luther always seems to know exactly where Ethan is, no matter how far away they are.
A Mission:Impossible Rogue Nation Magnus Archives AU where most of the IMF is avatars and Vast avatar Ethan has just had a particularly bad encounter with Web-aligned Solomon Lane and his Flesh pal the Bone Doctor...
@catwingsathena this is YOUR FAULT
