avatars of the buried lurking around tumblr???

[possiblyawesometmblr]

me, slapping the roof of the Stupid Rich People Underwater Death Tube: you could get so many tma statements outta this bad boy

[badly-made-tma-domains]

the entities as saw traps

the buried- glass coffin - saw v

the corruption- needle pit - saw ii / william easton’s tests - saw vi

the dark- the mausoleum - saw iv / hangman’s noose - saw 3d

the desolation- the furnace - saw ii

the end- angel trap - saw iii

the eye- bedroom trap - saw iv

the flesh- pound of flesh - saw vi

the hunt- steam maze - saw vi / the scalping seat - saw iv

the slaughter- pig vat - saw iii / the fatal five - saw v

the spiral- shotgun carousel - saw vi

the stranger- the doll in the basement that obi’s tape is attached to in saw ii. that’s what you guys get.

the vast- pendulum trap - saw v maybe… or suspended cage saw 3d

the web- marcus banks’ test - spiral. for a cooler one, zep hindle’s test. in reality, though, almost everything kramer does is very web. i’d elaborate but then this post would be far too long.

the spiral must feel like a fucking idiot about mike crew cuz like,,, the spiral wanted his ass so bad it chased after mike for fucking years and the guy got swept up LITERALLY by another entity cuz he hated the spiral so bad. like damn can’t have SHIT in the distortion

having an incredible discussion in the labru server today so i needed to make a list of dungeon meshi characters and which fears from tma/tmagp i think they'd be associated with

laios: avatar of the flesh, victim of the lonely

marcille: avatar of the eye, touched by/victim of the end

senshi: was a victim of the flesh but now is entirely out of the fears reach, his pot and knife are artifacts for the flesh and the slaughter respectively (he does not know this)

chilchuck: victim of the buried

izutsumi: unwilling avatar of the flesh

falin: victim of the lonely, avatar of the end, a little bit of the vast

kabru: nearly 50/50 split of the web and the eye

toshiro: corruption or lonely, leaning heavily toward corruption + he'd be a prime candidate to become a hive

namari: touched by the buried and doing everything she can to fight its influence

mithrun: avatar of the hunt. Yeah

pattadol: im not sure but i think it would be really funny if the position of mithrun's co-captain was cursed by the end and she's so oblivious to the fears that she just. Isn't affected. the most neurotic elf in the world but shes immune to the fears by sheer naive willpower

lycion: avatar of the flesh obv

otta: avatar of the buried obv

fleki: avatar of the vast. the way she described how it felt while tripping + controlling her familiar really reminded me of simon fairchild

cithis: avatar of the web obv

thistle: victim of the lonely and somewhat an avatar of the end, if only for the immortality thing

winged lion: domain of the flesh and a little bit of the spiral/stranger

Sketch of a comic for my Magnus archives au. This idea occurred to me and I felt like the funniest man alive

[thelambthatkilledthewolf]

Random headcanons about Hezekiah Wakely because no one appreciates this absolute treasure of a man:

- if he had lived in a time where gender was actually understood, he would've used he/they/it pronouns

- he has autism and BPD and was probably shunned for being "weird"

- his special interest is bugs, but specifically the kinds that burrow in the ground

- his liquor of choice was bourbon and he drank that shit straight

- he was vaguely acquainted with Jonah Magnus, but didn't like him much

- he had a secret relationship with Simon Fairchild and I will die on this hill

- all his bullshit about the Lord in his letters to that one guy was fake. He desperately tried to believe in God bc it was the 1800's and everyone did, but he never actually felt like God was really there

- Smirke heard of his little misdemeanors and immediately clocked him as a Buried avatar, and tried to "recruit" him into the Regency group (Smirke wanted to study him.) He refused because fuck rich people

- he faked his death so that he could be buried alive, and that's how he died

Bonus: That was the first time Simon ever truly mourned the loss of a person. (The second would be two hundred years later, when a certain detective put a bullet in Michael Crew's brain)

I know we learn very little about Harriet Fairchild but I do suspect that in MAG 21 Freefall, she's....flirting? Courting, perhaps?

She's worked with Robert Kelly for a while. He's an obsessivley passionate skydiver. She's a FAIRCHILD.

When he finally falls out of the fear dimension, she's waiting for him at the bottom. Simon is gone! Harriet stuck around to see how he's doing.

Throwing him into the vast was a test to see if he'd make a good avatar, that's pretty obvious. But they'd know right away that it hadn't worked, right? They feed on fear. I ASSUME they can tell the difference between "guy who is terrified but also loves it and wants to join your evil extreme sports family" and "guy who is just terrified". Simon goes home! Simon isn't going to wait around to chat with prey.

But Harriet is there. Waiting for him. Maybe she doesn't know he failed the test. Maybe its ambiguous and she's hoping that he'll say something that tips the scales towards "I DO share your passions as a fear avatar and would like to do this again some time".

I acknowledge I have a big soft monsterlover heart but: Harriet Fairchild worked with Robert Kelly, Normal Skydiving Fanatic, for MONTHS at her family's fear farm/fake skydiving company. She thought she might be able to make a deeper (and. Vaster.) connection with him. The date went badly! and she still liked him enough to stick around and make sure he got home safe.

And then, , she ate him. ♥

Tales from the Gas Station: Tales from the Road

"Rosa’s cousin Bernie had gotten mixed up in a “situation” with a cursed cassette tape that never reached the end no matter how long you fast-forwarded. Evidently, it told people how and when they would die. (But after a little research and experimenting, we discovered it wasn’t prophetic. Just really good at guessing. So, not really our thing.)"

Jack Townsend is like the exact halfway point between Joshua Gillespie and Jon Sims. Not quite savvy enough to ignore the singing coffin, not such a nosy posey that you accidentally turn yourself into an eldritch abomination.

Buried aligned, obviously.

how many journeys does it take to get to the center of an earth

Underrated portrayal of Choke is gossip and drama. Ngl

Lots of thoughts in the tags
