btw, the violinist in tmp 4? he's probably james smithson, of "founder of the smithsonian institute" fame

so what do we know about our violinist? he grew up in alnwick abbey, he was illegitimate and had legitimate full siblings, a father "certain of his celestial significance", and he has a nephew to whom he leaves his violin

and smithson? well, his father restored alnwick abbey in the 1750s, which was in ruins up until then. smithson was the only illegitimate child of any of the dukes there in the 1700s, which is when the statement is set

smithson also left his estate to his nephew after his death, with the condition that his fortune would establish the smithsonian institute if his nephew died without any children.

here's a point of divergence, however. in our timeline, smithson was a chemist and mineralogist. in tmagp's timeline, he was a violinist. however, as u/New_Helicopter836 pointed out to me on reddit, when smithson's body was disinterred by andrew graham bell, his right little finger was such that it suggests he played "the harpsichord, the piano, or a stringed instrument such as a violin"

looking at smithson's life, he left for university in 1782, so it's likely that tmagp 4 is set around the same time. it might be a bit earlier since the royal court orchestra moved from mannheim to munich in 1778 (putting smithson at about 13), it might be another point of divergence, or smithson is describing it this way to call back to its earlier significance. i'm not sure, but it's weird either way.

all that said, i'm not terribly sure why smithson describes his father (sir hugh smithson/percy, duke of northumberland) as "certain of his celestial significance", especially when the only other time he says celestial is to describe the violin's music. the user i mentioned before found that sir hugh, a major patron of architectural projects, had an observatory built, but i find smithson's language too specific. is his father an avatar too? mannheim is only a bit north of schwartzwald, after all, and this is about thirty years before tmag 23 where albrecht writes to jonah magnus.

let's look a little at smithson's bequest to found the smithsonian institute in the first place. smithson asked for it to be "an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men". the magnus institute, notably, is described in the arg as a place of education, and it was founded in 1818. although smithson died in 1829 and his nephew in 1835, the original smithsonian (the columbian institute) was granted a charter by the us government in 1818.

the letter is strangely absent of any names for the violinist or his family, and i can't help but wonder if this is why. and if it is because this is smithson - is this related to why the magnus institute exists instead of the magnus archives? the smithsonian, before it was renamed, was originally granted a charter by the us govt in 1818 - the same year that the magnus institute was founded in tmagp.

this is set 30 years before we know anything of jonah magnus, at least in tmag, so is it possible that he persuaded smithson to fund his educational institute focusing on the supernatural? the changed course of smithson's life from scientist to supernatural violinist would certainly be conducive for that, not least to mention the strange absence of his fortune from his letter to his nephew.

MAGTOBER 04/31

The Magnus Archives #19 — Confession

Well, this cover almost didn't see the sunlight. But in the end I'll always crush my enemies with no mercy (the technology is my enemy)

[carelessflower]

it is interesting to notice this certain demeanor of magnus behavior toward alec. how he love to call alec "my alexander" rather than "alec", distance magnus from what everybody else called alec. "only my shadowhunter". and there alec ring too. warlock has their own magical signature, and for magnus to pour so much magic into alec ring, to the point queen of the shadow market can sense it, of alec just walking around with "im under magnus bane protection" warning sign to anyone that may be watching. add in magnus love for biting alec neck - a very visible point on his body, not jealousy, far from it. this sense of possessiveness perhaps, that alec is his. despite alec's commitment to the shadoworld, the clave, his parabatai, his family, alec is magnus's in all the way it matters

[ID: A digital illustration of Tim and Danny Stoker jogging through a park. Tim is a mid-sized Latino pre-op trans man with light brown skin, a brown side-shaved mullet dyed purple on top, body hair and a small goatee, and a cut in his brow. He is wearing rectangular glasses, black plug gauges, lilac and mint shorts, black wristbands, and purple binding tape on his chest, and a mint towel around his neck. Danny is a taller beefy Latino man with short brown hair and he is wearing small gold hoop earrings, a yellow and white mock-neck tank top, pink and yellow high-waisted shorts with a white towel hanging from them, and a pink armband with a water bottle tucked in it. They are jogging along a trail in a lush green park with trees, bushes, and a wooden bench behind them. The entire image is lit warmly, with bright yellow highlights and soft purple shadows.

Tim is looking up challengingly at Danny and saying "Bet you can't huff go another huff loop without breaking a sweat" to which Danny replies "HA!" with a wild grin on his face. Tim is already sweating, and Danny is perfectly dry. end ID]
