Why Are You Hesitating

.. Phobia iT's PhOBiA ..

[akorean]

I saw a couple of these before, but not a TMA themed, so...

(I had to group some since tumblr only allows 12 options, sorry)

finished disco elysium recently and ive also been thinking abut tma again so naturally i wanted to draw some stylised avatars starting with the worm girl herself

Image description: A digitally painted illustration of Jane Prentiss from The Magnus Archieves - a pale woman with long black hair who's wearing a red dress with hundreds of small circular holes covering her skin, some of which have white worms hanging out of them. She's holding a phone in a blue case up close to her face, the light from the screen illuminating her and casting harsh red shadows across her face. She stares out, here eyes black, empty voids and she smiles. There are beams of yellow light that stretch out from the phone and curl around her. In the background, her hair bleeds into the darkness and form long abstract white lines that resemble the worms falling out of her skin. End ID

you never learn about yourself like what you learn about yourself while watching tma

Not a cat but here's my 2 children

IT’S FINE BECAUSE I LOVE ALL ANIMALS!!

It’s giving Aubrey.. Even though she had a rabbit

Also their little paws oh my god, they think they’re so vicious with them but they’re not. They’re really not because I just want to hug them holy ghost.

And the eye glimmer. Holy carp the eye glimmer yall

Ok, I have a theory for the magnus protocol.

So while it seems pretty clear by now that, yes, the entities from tma are also the same ones in tmagp, I DO NOT BELIEVE FOR ONE SECOND JONNY AND ALEX ARE GONNA KEEP IT AT THAT! Let me explain:

All the major entities are back, which seems pretty clear from cases like TMAGP 3 (the corruption), TMAGP 5 (clearly the eye) and TMAGP 15 (the hunt). There are some cases though that I don't think really fit any of the entities we already know. So I believe there are going to be new entities, but rather than being big, lovecraftian, universal fears like the entities, they're going to be more like phobias, in that some people have them and other people just don't. I mean just look at needles. They have this whole insecurity about actually being scary and act like they are only just getting used to being a fear entity. So that would be trypanophobia aka fear of needles. Then there's the snakes in the walls ep, which some people are saying is the corruption, but I think it would be more interesting if it was its own thing, so there we have ophidiophobiaor fear of snakes. I can't really immediately think of any other examples, except maybe that ep 8 running on empty might make a case for horror vacui aka keno-phobia or fear of empty spaces and emptiness. So yeah, that's my theory.

I do have one last thing to back this up, although I might be reading too much into this. If you go the official soundtrack for the magnus protocol by Sam Jones, there's a track there I'm pretty certain has played in all of the aforementioned cases. It's title? PHOBIAS S1

Would Szeth have an existential crisis if he found out that stone is under dirt and the ocean and literally everything even if it's melted? I kinda wanna tell him.

[clown-eating-pig]

Just out of curiosity, where do you think the fear of demons would fall entity-wise within the tma universe? The stranger maybe?

[bottlecap-joe-spooky]

I'm just gonna put this here

Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute things, y’know how it is

(ID for each eye under cut, click for better quality)

[naomiknight-17]

Been listening to The Magnus Archives again, thinking about how, out of all the powers/fears/whatever, The Buried scares me the most. More than The End, more than The Stranger, more than whatever the rot/contamination one is called

Being trapped or buried or crushed is just... uggggh I can't even think about it. Too horrifying

Even watching the Mythbusters episode where they test if you can punch your way out of a coffin is making it hard to breathe

Cannot deal with that shit no sir

[carrot-cakes]

i am more of a spiral/stranger/eye/end kind of gal but sometimes the lonely really gets to me, it has the power to truly crush me

Hey so head canons about appearance when there is not a lot of concrete descriptors in the source material are very much up to the listener. Y’all gotta stop acting like people who don’t agree with the hive mind of this fandom are fat phobic or racist.

My personal, original, character headcanons before becoming active in the online fandom:

John:

Short, neatly combed hair. British south Asian who dressed in like elbow patches and bullshit hipster glasses he didn’t even need but wore cus he wanted to look like a distinguished professor. First edition books on his desk. The kinda dude who smokes a pipe for the aesthetic and refuses to drink well drinks at the bar. Basically a pretentious little twink so kinda on the money with the popular opinions tbh.

Martin:

Curly light brown hair. Clean shaven. Freckles and the kinda pale skin that gets blotchy/flushed easily. Grandad glasses but not like in a trendy way. In a thrift store cus he’s poor kinda way. In my head he has medium build. Like not muscled or fit, but not plus sized either. Just tall and solid with threadbare lil sweaters and he absolutely decorated his institute lanyard with vintage broaches. Rarely wears matching socks.

Tim:

Tim in my head is just Phil Wang in like California surfer fits. Dude wears board shorts and flip flops with his collared short sleeved shirts and ties. Really good at beer pong and pub quizzes.

Sasha:

Jessica Brown Findlay meets Angel Colby but like with hip style and ink smudges on her fingers and a cheekier attitude. Catherine Bohart personality vibes would be a close comparison but not quite on the money.

Elias:

Artfully dyed grey hair to hide his actual grey hair with that 1920-30 little bang wave. Lean but not like scrawny. Slacks, perfectly ironed dress shirts, douchebag Patagonia vests. His loafers cost more than a years rent in central and he has days of the week cuff links. He has the fake corporate smile that promises shitty snacks and forced ice breaker games and incredibly polished generic conversations.

Gertrude:

Lily Tomlin if she were British and way more serious. Yes, this makes me laugh now too.

Basira:

Literally just one of my friends but butched up a bit. (Sorry that’s not helpful for y’all’s imagination) intense when it comes to studying and pushing herself. Button ups and slacks and sensible shoes.

Daisy:

Long box black hair always in a bun but but with an under cut. Strong af but not bulky. Mean lesbian vibes. Sleeves always rolled up to her elbows and her shirts tucked in.

Melanie:

My self insert character. Bi bitch. Backwards baseball cap. Jeans and converse or docs. Oversized sweatshirts. Not cute knit sweaters but like old band crew necks and hoodies and soccer kits. (If anybody would love to go scream at the opposition fans it’s Melanie okay)Nose ring, messy hair to her shoulders. Always looking for a fight and a puzzle to solve.

Georgie:

Rose Matafeo if she was less chaotic and more put together. A wearer of Overall dresses with colorful tights and floral printed cardigans. A lover of tote bags and planners. She has a sticker of The Admeral on her hydro.

Omori HC or AU idea

Whenever Sunny isn’t within REM sleep (where dreams happen) Headspace kind of does its own thing without Sunny consciously being able to guide the dream world like he does within the game.

Ex. Time keeps moving in HS despite whether Sunny is sleeping or not.
