[shitty-tma-aus]

tma au where its a musical but only the avatars sing, 'the guy who didn't like musicals' style. the rest of the characters all speak normally and are super weirded out that all the creepy monster people keep breaking into song.

plot points include:

all of michael's songs and sections being in the weirdest fucking time signatures ever

the unknowing having a song thats complete gibberish

not!sasha singing her way through normal speaking conversations

a song called hello jon

You think Peter Lukas hangs around Elias because his mere presence feeds the Lonely? That Peter knows he can never take Elias because he belongs so wholly to the Eye, but that immortality comes at the expense of any real bond, reducing everyone you've known and loved to a fragmented past, merely tools to be watched? To see and know everything and everyone but to never truly be known yourself must be the loneliest thing imaginable. A true smorgasbord.

is this anything

that meme I’ve made and the original

Okay I don't usually post anything but I have to say something because Needles is a red herring and I can't just sit and watch everyone fall for it!!

Like his need to cause fear is clearly outlined and made blaringly explicit, and magnus archives/protocol as a story thinks more highly of its listeners than that- things tend to be more subtle than that, especially so early on. It's a clearly outlined reference to tma in a way that is obviously purposeful, it can't be anything other than a red herring. Needles is desperatttte for fear, from the getgo he reminded me of someone trying to act creepy or edgy but not doing a very good job- like a joker wannabe, or a bad creepypasta. He gets self conscious when the cop on the call isn't scared. Either he's some leftover avatar from the TMA world pulled into this one, trying to be scary after losing connection to a fear entity, or he's just some guy. Even returning to the theme of desires- if he is paranormal- he very much WANTS to be scary, more so maybe then he actually is.

my thoughts on certain characters being the 'minister'

Peter Lukas - I think it's unlikely bc no jonah to make a wager with to get him off the boat so he's probably still at sea buutt if it was him think it would funny bc he'd definitely have 'disappeared' Collin just to not deal with him

Simon Fairchild - he wouldn't give a shit like we saw him with the extinction stuff he'd just not care about what the OIAR is doing at all and I think that would be funny

Annabelle Cane - that would be verryy plot relevant and also probably the same annabelle Cane from tma bc she said she'd either go with the fears or die and so far as I can remember they said there was no sign of her I would love a return of annabel mainly just bc I love her

Sasha James - more likely to be the new IT person but also I desperately just want sasha to be alive and well I also think she'd be very good at her job we knew she would have made a good archivist but an actual one rather than eldritch horror one so maybe she's a librarian somewhere completely separate

Tim Stoker - I strongly believe he wouldn't take it seriously and would flirt with every one and make jokes about the computers looking worse for wears until he hears about collin and just makes jokes about collin

Danny Stoker - would be funny but would also mean Tim is not linked to the supernatural at all bc he only got involved after Danny's death so if Danny's fine so is Tim and I need Tim to be ok also I think it would be a fun link without them just having the same cast as tma

Elias Buchard (the real one) - would imply gwen is a nepo baby which would be really funny to see them interact also wonder how jonah would feel about it also he was a stoner so I don't think he'd be good at his job and this would be very funny

Jurgen leitner - he's probably dead but I think this would be fun and we don't know if he even had his library in this world but if he did and then became the minister of the oiar that's a bad way to hide and I think he'd die pretty quickly

Daisy Tonner - she would penalise them for everything she'd be so strict on them and probably aggressive I also think its unlikely to be her she'd hate the bureaucracy and would probably empathise with collins solution to their problems

someone new - the fandom reaction would be funny as fuck like we've spent all this time theorising and guessing and then it's no one we've ever heard of before I just think it would be a funny way to throw off everyone

sorry this so long lmao

somewhat disagree on people saying chester is sending mixed messages with his first statement about redcanary vs the last one about the dice.

the first statement mentioning the magnus archives had a clear message not to go there. canaries should stay above ground - aka if you keep a healthy distance to the Horrors, they will do the same (see: alice)

sam didn’t listen and kept digging anyway. no matter how much people warned him he kept digging and digging.

then he just decides to leave it after already taken actions that probably exposed his interest to the horrors!! filling in the paper, going to the address chester sent, telling everyone he’s interested in the archives, probably other things we didnt even notice/know the repercussions for in this universe.

the next statement mentioning tma had another pretty clear message: once you start on this road, you CAN’T! STOP!

it’s too late to back out now. sam has opened this can of worms so there isn’t any distance left to protect him. the only way to keep alive is to keep going

"Oh no. Not again. Oh the horrors.

Nooooooooooo.............."

Anyway, so about the latest episode…

My little theory is that Sam and Celia aren’t gonna find anything with Helen either. It’s a different world, and there’s 7 billion people. What’re the odds that the same people (without any prior knowledge cELIA) would be influenced or connected to cosmic powers twice over? I’m pretty sure Celia hasn’t quite realized this yet, or she’s hoping in spite of it. See, tmagp isn’t a direct sequel to tma, as much as we wish it was. I think Celia is trying to find answers from the people who knew the answers in the other world, because she’s hoping they might’ve crossed over like she did. All the people she’s suggested are those who she’s met. Basira? They worked together while trying to fix the world. Helen? Tried to eat her! Georgie? She was in her goddamned cult! Jon and Martin? Must I say anything? Gerry and Gertrude were found because they had an actual connection to the Magnus Institute and Sam and Celia found it. So maybe we’ll see Melanie King (I hope pls pls pls), but I really don’t think we’ll find too much more than that, at least from Celia.

Just don’t fall for the trap of assuming characters from tma will be involved.

[gackk]

I need someone to write another tma teacher au just to add tmagp Basira (!!!!!) as the deputy headmaster I beg

I am to be a king of a ruined world, and I shall never die.

Hear me out. What if Gwyn is an archivist. Now I may be reaching, but she knows A LOT more than she lets on and was who Sam saw right before giving his statement.

That or what if the archivist that is active now appears to the statement giver as someone they trust? But everyone else sees the scary ass thing. I'm just full of thoughts

[shitty-tma-aus]

AU where Daisy actually kills Jon but he’s far enough in that it counts as his encounter with death and Daisy keeps trying to kill him after that but it doesn’t work, like a bad game of whack a mole

I'm putting you in the writer's chair for season 6
