TMA x Murdle AU ideas

Okay I have no idea how many Murdle fans have heard of or are fans of The Magnus Archive, but I'm making this post anyway because my brain has Thoughts.

If any TMA fans want to check out Murdle, they're a series of logic puzzle books that I have fallen in love with. If you like logic puzzles, I highly recommend you check it out! I'm just going to be talking about Detective Logico and Inspector Irratino.

The one idea I really like is

Regular Detective Logico x Distortion!Irratino

Just, and this would never work in the TMA universe but let me dream, I want Logico to logic his way out of The Hallways. Specifically, by going "okay, logic isn't getting me anywhere. What would Irratino do?" And basically un-logic himself out of there. Because that would be amazing.

There are so many directions you could go with this it's wild.

- Distortion!Irratino just showing up as a hallucination to Logico in reflective surfaces and giving him hints to help Logico solve murders

- Irratino being a normal person when he first meets Logico then becoming the Distortion sometime after

- Irratino defending Logico from another Avatar, bonus points if that's his reveal to Logico that he's an Avatar, bonus bonus points if it's A. Logico's first time being exposed to Avatars or B. Logico finds that seeing Irratino covered in someone else's blood in defense of him is really hot and distracting him from the fact that Irratino no longer has the proper proportions.

- Logico either missing every sign and signal that Irratino is a Spiral!Avatar or Logico spotting every single sign that Irratino is a Spiral Avatar but thinking it's a side effect of Irratino's illogical methods and politely ignoring it like a champ

There are a few other combos I can imagine:

1. Eye!Logico x Spiral!Irratino

Logico is so Eye coded with being able to solve all the murders that come up all the time through deductive reasoning.

Irratino gives off Spiral vibes with all his marot readings, esoteric abilities, and general lack of logical reasoning.

2. End!Irratino

So apparently, Irratino fakes his death every Sunday, and it's so convincing that Logico falls for it every time. The thought of him actually dying each time and resurrecting as a way to farm fear off Logico.

Maybe Irratino is marked by the End and attracts murderers to him. Logico keeps investigating his murder each time and the fear never fades with time, and the two start interacting outside of the murder scenes.

1. Hunt!Both

While they highly differ in their methods, they are hunting down murderers literally everywhere they go. Probably still touched by the Eye and the Spiral, but they solve murders everyday with a pretty regular cast of characters.

You know what, variation of this where Logico is a Hunt Avatar and Irratino is his dutiful boyfriend who fakes his own death once a week so his boyfriend doesn't get too antsy when there's nothing to do. Logico considers him a part of his hunting pack, even if he isn't a typical Hunter.

What kind of a s/o you think is best for Klaus and who would he be actually really into? Characters from the show as examples work, anyone apart from Dave.

From existing characters? Well Ben is the easy choice. It's a popular ship for a reason. The chemistry is there. The history is there. The interesting dynamic too. Umbrella and Sparrow would work.

Aside from that...

Allison would do for a soft romance around taking care of each other and we know he has a good relationship with Claire. His ability to tear through the lies she tells herself would be useful as well.

Diego would be good for a fond exasperated affection deal.

Oh! Viktor. I loved the idea of Klaus and Viktor being close and forming relationship. They both had experience with isolating behavior, being singled out in the academy, and with drugs. Klaus was the only one who wasn't angry about the book. They have experience with struggling romantic lives and maintaining things. Those similarities could self-destruct but it can also be the thing that allows it to stabilize. Klaus' immortality would also make Viktor losing control over his powers less terrifying. I wish we did have more scenes with just them two. I think they had potential. (Also they were both particularly close to Ben growing up which is another thing to bond over)

as far as non-umbrella characters, nobody is standing out to me. Fei has a very different vibe which could be interesting. yeah no. that's all i got for the side characters. i mean Lila could be interesting too. they're both pretty blunt and chaotic and hard to kill. It'd be fun.

Jayden/Antonio

G: Goofy / Y: Yearning

Awww yes yes!

~

G: Goofy

Despite the tendency to make a million gold puns a second, Antonio is actually very serious during sex. Be it taking ot giving, Antonio is soft and kind and in the moment. He did at one point try making puns, but it didn't feet right

Jayden, like in everything else, takes sex very seriously. He's very calm, cool, and collected about it. If he isn't, Jayden is kind of afraid he'll break in the face of such softness

~

Y: Yearning

Oh baby, are these boys ready and raring to go at all times. They're in their twenties, they're both born at all times. The amount of times Jayden has to drag Antonio back to bed because Antonio is THIS close to doing something he can't take back is frankly phenomenal. Antonio doesn't mind though, he's all for a good quickie

Thank you! @estel-eruantien

Sequel to This

I really don't know what's going on with Spiderman lately xd (spoilers for the latest comics!!)

Last year, the year before last, we saw comics in which Spiderman would gag just by looking at the symbiote, and act like it was the most disgusting thing that exists in the entire universe and now...

Incredible? an absolute feeling of electricity? SEXY??

Spidey you're talking about a married symbiote! With kids!

I do ship them tho... But even I have a filter where I can recognize what's canon and what's just nonsense my head creates because making ships is fun. So I can recognize that whatever's going on here is completely and totally out of character. Spider-Man would NEVER, EVER. From the second he discovered his "suit" was actually a living being, he tried to remove it from moment one. Even risking his own life to do so.

I don't know which writer or writers are in the latest Spiderman comics. But they are totally SpiderSymby lovers. There is no other logical explanation for what is happening here xd

What I find funniest is that they aren't even reciprocating. Symby chose to go back to their husband and son rather than stay with Spidey.

Spidey is like "damn, it was so cool to be reunited with the symbiote, I wonder if he feels the way I feel." and Symby is just happy because their back with their "perfect family".

Because this is also the first time we've seen Spiderman act this way. The last time he teamed up with the symbiote that I can remember was this one. And their interaction was not friendly.

still called them "suit"

and generally found it unpleasant to have to use the symbiote.

I wonder what happened there. Maybe the power of the King in Black makes you gay or something... Yeah, that must be

[brian-kinney-apologist]

tell me this isn't them

[mummifiedgoose]

I CAN NOT BELIEVE that in the year of our lord 2023 Tessa Thompson and Brie Larson are FINALLY allowed to have their characters be a little fruity together!!! I remember being on the front lines fighting for Carol/Valkyrie!!!! They were championing the cause!!!!!!! And now they are FINALLY interacting I'm gonna cry

[theminecraftbee]

so a thing this fandom does that remains FASCINATING to me, as a function of the fact a lot of this fandom is people's first fandom or only current fandom, is just... assume a lot of things it does is a scourge that this fandom has invented or doesn't exist outside of it? or like, is uniquely bad here? and i won't deny that sometimes mcyt fandom is a bit more intense by virtue of numbers, but like...

duo names: confusing fandom-injokes to describe duos and groups tend to be an anime fandom thing specifically for many historical reasons, but they're not uncommon. hey quick--if you haven't been in KHR fandom, can you guess what 1827 is? no? i'll give you a hint: that's actually a ship name. or, ygo fans, tell me the difference between puppyshipping, prideshipping, violetshipping, and rivalshipping. my hint is that they're all kaiba ships and two of them are actually the same ship. good luck!

reducing characters to a specific trait: have you read fic in another fandom before? i would recommend you go do so and come back to me. my example here is "sasuke likes tomatoes", for the record.

common au fanon that's confusing to outsiders: my deep cut here is "when i got into certain tv fandoms i was baffled by the existence of sentinel/guide fics", which is a slightly older tv fandom thing so many of you probably don't know what i'm on about. but trust me: in certain fandoms it's ubiquitous and unless you've watched a completely different tv show you're gonna have to entirely pick it up from reading fic. oh hey, hybrid aus and watcher!grian, nice to see your relative here,

fanon being treated as canon: did you know there's this whole bnha character, naomasa, who is treated as canonically having a lie detector quirk? did you know that, best i can tell, that's not in canon anywhere, it just got echoed through fanon enough that everyone treated it as canon? 'fanon trait becomes so ubiquitous everyone assumes it has to be there' is not a new thing. also, batfamily fans, i have been lead to understand the tim and coffee thing is also this.

characters being treated badly to make a different dynamic look better: the fact we have the term 'character bashing' tells you all you need to know, here. if anything my one complaint on this front isn't even that it's happening--it's that i wish bashing and/or "not [character] friendly" was tagged a little more frequently, haha.

characters being reduced to their family dynamics: tale as old as time. "even the family dynamic thing" yes even that. just because this fandom tended to be particularly ship-adverse in the past didn't mean it didn't do basically the same behaviors as any fandom with shipping did with those dynamics, just gen. and other gen fandoms also do that. yes, down to the "and shipping reduces them to a ship, unlike my gen dynamic, which is very in-character; why can't people just be friends?" thing. some of you have to have been marvel fans right.

characters being reduced to their ships: some of you have to have been marvel fans right.

The Discourse: yeah this is an "actively running show" fandom thing, but also a hiatus fandom thing. ask a homestuck about vriskourse sometime. as much as i hate to say it, it probably made doomsday discourse look cute.

and those are just like... some things i've seen people complain about on my dash recently. idk it just hit me there are probably fans in mcyt fandoms who are assuming that some things (like hybrid aus or duo names) are the kind of things that only happen here, so i thought i'd offer some examples of other places they happen! i also have even more examples if you'd like.

to be clear: this isn't shaming anyone for complaining about any of these things. lord knows i go complain to my friends about it all the time, just the other day i was complaining in the category of 'they keep bashing my guy'. it's more of just... a gentle reminder that maybe we're big, maybe we're loud, maybe we have problems... but these problems aren't always unique.

so uh. we're all suffering together i guess...?

[jouska-the-deer]

There's no way they'd kill Shadow in the movie for the same reason they brought him back after killing him in SA2 (he's too popular) but that just makes me worried he could get adopted by the Wachowski family which... yeah that would put a damper on movie!Sonadow.

I hope Shadow kinda just goes off on his own living wherever. Maybe he finds a little empty burrow in Green Hills that feels nice and cozy to stay in that definitely didn't belong to someone else at some point...

Hello euphrasia nation how yall doing

[therulerofallpotatos]

Rarepair: Tyler and Enid

If Enid interested me more, I'd be shouting all about it because they mirror each other a lot and I'm a sucker for shipping narrative foils. Alas, Enid does not interest me as much so I have not. That said, they are a good pair and I like seeing them interact. I just have more fun exploring their dynamic as the boyfriend and the girlfriend's best friend who hates the boyfriend but has to play nice because girl code. Ironically, she also hates him because girl code. It's very fun for me, this dynamic.
