#regency era tma

[dr-fanshawe]

sometimes, I feel weird about taking Jonathan Fanshawe, one of the few men who managed to escape Jonah, and making up his story in such a way that it turns out that he didn't actually manage to do that. and then I realize how hot and cool it would be if Jonathan only thought that severing ties with Jonah would be enough to save him. if Jonathan's hope that he could resist the natural disaster that Jonah is was just his naivety. if Jonah was more like a plague than a person to everyone around him – if you linger around him, you are as good as dead; there is no way to stop the progression of that illness once it touched you. no way to get out of the downward spiral of otherworldly horrors and madness if you were careless enough to let that charming handsome man lead you to the first steps of it. how fitting would it be if everything dear to Jonah rotted under his touch, first against his will, then for his entertainment. and I calm down ❤️

Idk if anyone has pointed this out before, but do we think there’s any significance to the fact that in MAG 111, it’s mentioned how Mary Keay used the name Jan Kelly to rent a storage unit? Given that the Keay family exists in Protocol (proven by Gerry’s appearance as well as the Magnus institute’s existence which can partially be attributed to Albrecht (who’s related to the Keays) finding the books that Jonah later stole), is it possible that there may be a link between the Keay family and Lena Kelley? We know body hopping is possible for some avatars, and that Mary was able to bind herself to the Catalogue of the Trapped Dead to extend her life, so while I’m not specifically saying that Lena is Mary, is it possible that Lena could be someone else posing as her the same way Jonah took Elias’ body? That said, Mary has not been mentioned in Protocol, and Gerry in Protocol seems to have been adopted by Gertrude or somehow related to Gertrude. I may be going nowhere with this beyond my own bizarre connection, though I do find it bizarre that Mary has not been present yet so perhaps there’s something with her? Also, as far as I’m aware, we have yet to learn how Lena got her position, or how long she had been head of the OIAR (which reminds me of how Elias ended up being much more of a mystery in that regard than he initially seemed in TMA).

I guess as a more concise way of saying this, while Gwen Bouchard is clearly intriguing based on the possible relation to Elias (or even that she somehow is him but in a different body), I wonder if she either isn’t the only one to have been body swapped or if she’s a red herring for someone else, such as Lena.

(Also, this isn’t necessarily related to my above rambling, but I am firmly of the belief that Johann’s tomb, the books in it, and just Albrecht in general will somehow be relevant to Protocol. I’m not quite sure how, but between the ARG stuff, the ‘multiple cracks in reality’ theory, the existence of the institute at all in Protocol, TMAGP 4, Jonah maybe being one of the computer voices, and the fact that Albertus Magnus (who is well known as an alchemist) was Bavarian, (plus some other theories and links I may have forgotten) I strongly feel like there’s something there that will be relevant or important.)

I love people going "how do you think Jonah reacted when he got into the body off everyone's favorite nepo baby pothead" as if Jonah wasn't part of the 19th century aristocracy. That man was alive during the "cocain is good for you" era and you think he would be affected by a blunt?

Just because he convinced Robert Smirke he was a good lil christian boy by the power of malewife, manipule, mansplain, manwhore and manslaughter that does not mean he was not on drugs half of the time.

I love the idea that Robert Smirke had fourteen friends to represent the Fears. That would make him the fifteenth, the extinction, and honestly, that makes a lot of sense regarding who he was as a character.

Trying to control and balance everything to the point that it becomes destructive and makes everything worse.

Also, based on the timeline, that means that Hezekiah Wakely could have been part of his group.

the only way jonah magnus could have been with his lovers without betraying them is for all his ambitions to be crushed beyond repair. horrible! guy you're hopelessly in love with will only truly love you back if he has been Broken As A Person

and if you're in love with him and you realise that would you even actually want him to love you back? because then it wouldn't be the same man you fell in love with. and if you love him would you wish that devastation upon him?

to love jonah magnus and to actually understand him is perhaps to actually want him to never love you back with the same intensity as you love him. yay ❤️

Jonah: The love interest.

Barnabas: The boot licker.

Albrecht: The Simp.

Mordechai: The Sugar Daddy.

Fanshawe: The Ex.

Simon: Not in love with Jonah he just likes to paint him.

Peter: Husband.

[dr-fanshawe]

they say that you should be the change that you want to see in the world, so I wrote a magshawe fic

Jonah Magnus/Jonathan Fanshawe | Explicit (for a description of self-injury) | 2297 words

“Any proper gentleman is supposed to marry, is he not?” Jonathan pauses, lost at Jonah’s seemingly serious question. He is so difficult to read, at times, even though Jonathan has known him for years. It is something he’s deeply ashamed of, but something that he has learned to mitigate. Somewhat. “No proper gentleman is a friend of yours, Jonah. Besides, I cannot marry – you are aware of it. I’m afraid you’ll have to find someone else to help you bring revenge to Mordechai.” Jonah tilts his head in confusion. “I am not aware of any such limitation, no. Your ring finger is intact – what else do you need to be able to marry?” …He is joking. Surely.

Choose a title with me!

I have now narrowed it down to the following title options for my fan comic (Jonah's fan comic). Pick the one you like best in the poll :)
