Stoker. Are. You. A. Beetlejuice. Fan. And. You. Better. Not. Say. No. Or. Else. You. Get. Juiced. By. Beetles.

Okay now I don't know how to answer-

Someone just said I should watch the beetle juice musical and I was like “yes I will and ill go with Jon!” but I'm not sure I wanna go now…

Hehe

[gremlingirlsmell]

lmao they dont know that the concept of (perisex) afab transfems is one of these things that has been cooked up by transphobes and transmisogynists specifically to start this kinda discourse to discredit transfeminity and our language and rally and radicalize queer tme people against tma people

[thevoidcannotbefilled]

I wonder why I feel so strongly about Jon and Martin being in a machine and then slowly transformed into something/someone and only consider their past selves secondary to their current feelings?

Anyway, here's a snippet for a fic concept where Jon was put in a tape recorder and then eventually becomes a sentient archive who only sees his affiliation to his previous self as distant memory.

--

Tim asked why I cared for my assistants. Further, he asked if I cared for the world. It’s a bit complicated to explain, but I will try my best.

I am not human. Emotions for me are formatted into simpler algorithms. Praise. Continue. Tolerate. Dissuade. Stop. Jonah has been the only exception, but hate is far too complex to explain. Think too much information leading to the conclusion, “Stop”, to which it leads to “Never Let Happen” and “Dissuade Fully”. Regardless of Jonah and his megalomaniac strides to power, I do not have a desire for such heights. I am the Archives. My only goal is to collect truths and categorize them. What is within it is mine. The floors, the walls, the statements, and you, my assistants. Yes, even you, Jon. There may be no place for an Archivist here, but you work for me, and therefore, will be an assistant in all ways but title.

So you ask. Do I care for the world? Do I care for you? Care is dishonest word to use. I do not wish the world harm, so I will not make it worse. I wish the happiness of what’s mine, and so I will do my best to keep my assistants happy.

But you ask me, if I can care, without arms to use or words easily my own. You ask me to care when I am made of stone and paper, recording evermore with tape for a brain and motors for a heart. I am not human and can not care except within my limits. And my limits, are great.

There is no pleasant way to put it. The Eye is your master, and I am its subset. Even with desires of my own, I can not help but be part of the system you hate. I can give comfort, but a cup of tea only does so much in a prison. But you are mine, and I will do what I can.

Saying this, I must make it clear, I am not Jonathan Sims. It would be a lie to say my past life doesn’t influence whom I consider my allies, but in recent times, Jonathan Sims’ loyalty is a tertiary factor at best. See, I know who you are. From each tiny scar to the tune of your laughter, I categorize you on what you are and what you aren’t until I have a picture of who you are to me. I know who you are and what I Know, is mine.

But you are not statements, and you are more than mere stories to keep hidden away and safe. You will explore a world far outside my reach and care for things with much greater empathy than I am capable of giving. And thus, you will care for the world.

I will protect you the best I can. However, I can not do so if you actively go outside my reach. If you’d like to keep the rest of the world safe, I can not help except to give information which was already freely given. No, the world is not safe, but that’s the point isn’t it? While the rituals can not end the world, they kill many and harm more, and the entities have great power even if they can never be here. If you wish to be heroes and save others, I would not advise it, but I will not stop you. Doing so would be against everything in what I am and what I was.

To put it simply, I care for you for you are mine. But you are also the world, and the world is your happiness. Therefore, I care for the world that is not me that will become part of me through time. Because you are my world, and thus mine to protect.

Hey, Martin? It’s me, I was just wondering if you’re alright. Jon told me you were feeling sick and I thought I might bring some soup over.

I'm alright, just have a cold. You don't have to bring soup, I'm okay

so we all know that TMA is a Tragedy(TM) and episode 199 really highlights this. ALL the options they have are shitty and if i was in that position i would probably have a mental breakdown about it :')

i'm currently studying literature and we were doing tragedies recently (if you've seen all my Hamlet posts, that's why) and something my professor said stuck with me: he said that one difference between classical greek tragedies and more modern tragedies is that it's kinda impossible to make these choices because there will never be all the information to make a good, informed choice. It's impossible to know what is the Right thing to do.

Not to get too sidetracked but in for example, Oedipus Rex (which i Did Not really enjoy reading) it's more about information being revealed about things that have already happened and you can't really escape fate anyway but in Hamlet there's more choices to be made and there is more of an "oh if only they'd done this other thing then it all would have been fine". I was thinking about this in relation to TMA earlier and was like oh i GET IT NOW!!!

Classic literature analysis aside, i feel SO bad for Jon especially because it feels like there's so much weight on his shoulders and it's such a hard decision to be made.

god this man deserves a hug...

Wait.

Jon smashed the spider, which broke the shelf, which broke the hole in the wall, which exposed the worms, possibly before they were ready to attack, which caused the Hive's (possible) death.

So are the spiders good?

And in that case, given that they sent the lighter, is Breekon & Hope good or neutral? Or maybe they just don't like the Hive?

I have so many questions!

In the process of making a few other boards as well, it's just taking a while because I want to make some of my own gifs for a few and I'm having difficulty going about that.

Yes, I would like to make a statement.

"Alright."

"Statement of.... Anonymous.. regarding..?"

i think gwen wears glasses to read and she has cool glasses chains so they hang around her neck when she doesn’t need them

[joshuamj]

instead of doing any of the numerous tasks i should be doing, i am instead replacing and redoing how I tag tma and tmagp stuff

[rinja-espurr]

i think tma is affecting me SO fucking much that i feel the need to change my entire blog theme once again
