Wait actually just thinking abt this. The most famous examples of "anchors" as a concept in tma is Jon/Martin, Gertrude/Agnes, and technically Daisy/Basira but like. Only sort of.
Anyway, you ever think abt how none of those duos actually achieved their goals/succeeded and in fact usually ended up being each others undoing in one way or another???
#ramblings of a lunatic#tma#the magnus archives#feel free to debate your own opinion on this but do note that I'm not making any hard statements here and i know there are contradictions-#-to what i proposed#most notably it could be argued Jack Barnabas was more the final nail in the coffin for Agnes rather than Gertrude even if she contributed#and that Gertrude wasn't undone by Agnes in any notable way unless you subscribe to the theory that her desolation-alligned tendancies-#-were due to the soul bond and it's those tendancies that ended up isolating her#but as much i toss that theory around in my mind i wouldn't say i 100% consider it fact yknow?#also i feel weird putting daisy and basira in here w/ jmart and gertrudeagnes because like.#the latter two are or are widely seen as romantically involved with each other#which isn't how i like to read daisy and basiras relationship (pls don't tag this post as daisira btw)#but like. idk i do have thoughts on how Daisy and Basira parallel jmart but i never feel comfortable talking abt them#because i don't want ppl to think I'm painting them as romantic#y'know?#anyway#uhh. yeah this thought isn't like. revolutionary or anything- we know anchors in tma work and we've seen them work even w/ these couples#it's just that at the very end of their stories#it didn't#also yes i know ''one way or another together'' but they still let the web win when they did that.#jon still gave up on his goal after betraying martins trust#it's a big symbol of theit devotion to each other but it still has broadly negative consequences. those things can coexist i think#idk i haven't had the brainpower for tma lately I've just been. tired. but this was the first good tma thought I've had in yonks#so i wanted to share
