#tma Elias Bouchard

[noodlesewp]

One of my favorite things with TMA fanart is when people draw Elias with eye paraphernalia or motifs because it makes pre entity discovery tma so much funnier

Didn't turn out as great as I'd hoped, I still gotta improve! I need perfection! But for now, here's the whore of the century! Well, past few centuries.

A group photo of Magnus' Home for Gifted Youth, dated 12/06/2000. The photo has been badly angled so as to cut off the tallests' head.

“You know, the image of Elias Bouchard in a Mr. Bonzo binder implies that there is a Mr. Bonzo with an Elias binder.”

Also: most of this is getting a feel of the designs themselves before I fw them, I’ve drew Elias before but listening more made me change it more! I thought he was just a little freak! (He is)

I am trying…. to figure them out… they look so different in my head but then I try to scribble them down and it’s just slightly off. … I will keep trying.

Making others recite your own evil monologue is truly a wicked move. Kudos to Elias for creativity

A lot of people have been saying that they get Elias/Jonah vibes from Lena or Gwen. But you know who actually reminds me of Elias? Alice.

“Record and study, not interfere or contain” sounds familiar, does it not? Whenever Sam tries to talk about the entries, Alice just tells him not to think too much about it, and just do his job. Of course, she doesn't even tell him to record or study, but that's because their job is literally just to sort the entries and file them away, not to look into it. They're not working in an archive that studies the supernatural, they're just in a boring office job (or so it seems).

Also, this line in particular stood out to me. Of course, it sounds like her classic dry humor and a jab at government jobs. But.. molding someone into something that serves a larger power? Sounds very familiar.

(definitely a reach from my part, but sshh let me theorize)

Think about it. Elias was super nonchalant about what was happening in the archives at the beginning. He didn't seem completely skeptical or in denial about what was going on; he just didn't seem to care too much about it. It seemed like he knew a lot more than he was letting on, and he did.

And that's what Alice seems like to me too. So far, she plays a very neutral role in the narrative. She's just there to make sarcastic remarks and jokes, and to occassionally remind Sam not to get too curious about the entries.

Sure, Elias was not as peppy or friendly as Alice but their roles in the plot seem very similar right now. Alice could be one of the good guys (though, judging by how TMA went, i'm assuming there isn't a clear divide between the good guys and the bad guys in TMAGP either) but I just get an uneasy feeling about her.

There are already quite a few theories about her trying to isolate Sam from Colin (who is the one other person who seems to smell something suspicious) and preventing Sam from trying to find out more about the entries. I can't help but feel like Alice plays a bigger role in all of this. There must be a reason why she's the only employee who has stayed in OIAR for this long.
