Please DNI if you're a zionist, meet basic DNI criteria (homophobic, transphobic and so on. Like, be for realsies, I'm a faggot, I make all my fave characters gay and trans, you aren't gonna have a good time.)
I think proship/antiship discourse is tired and annoying, I would like to play dolls. That being said, I also <3 curating my internet experience, and would like to politely ask people who regularly post/reblog incest/loli/shota ect. to DNI. Love and light ect.
I will engage with some darkfic stuff and dead dove content/reblog things on occasion!! Keep urself safe!!
I will always tag accordingly/hide things behind read mores and so on.
A TMA Fantasy AU where 'Swan Lake' meets 'Beauty and the Beast' (with just a touch of mythology and folklore thrown in for flavour). If you're like me and have been pining for more Fantasy AU content for The Magnus Archives, then buckle up and strap on in because I've got one doozy of a longfic just for you.
Complete with Teaholding, curses, quests, crumbling ruins, and a miriad of hidden dangers lurking deep within the woods.
(For real though, this au fic has been a damn long time coming, and I'm increidbly excited to share it all with you! Especially since this is the first time I've ever approached a project like this that's really solidly clicked in my mind plotwise, so it'll definitely be a bit of a more ambitious an experiment for me compared to some of my other works.)
If you want to see more: links to the fic on AO3 is below + additional info/art is under the cut, and all tagged under #the watching beast.

"When Martin Blackwood was exiled from Greymoor with the condition he only be allowed to return with the head of The Watching Beast, he was under no illusion that his lord had sent him there to die.
But having uncovered the knowledge that lord of Greymoor had been sacrificing his subjects to the Mysts, and being the only one of them with nothing left to lose, his resolve to return to his homeland and expose the true nature Lukas's rule is the only thing on his mind when he braves the Deep Woods to find and slay the beast of legend.
However, as Martin will soon find, there is far more to his quarry than first meets the eye, with the monsters of the Deep Woods growing restless as a plot centuries in the making is finally reaching its conclusion...
And at the centre of it all, is a mysterious library and a man cursed and burdened with a quest of his own."

If you have any questions, please feel free to send them my way as my asks are well and truly open. Though I will ask that you be respectful and hold off on asking anything explicitly plot related, as I don't want to ruin the surprise. (I will warn you though, i can and will yap well beyond my means when it comes to the many obscure references to fairytales and mythology I've left tucked into the margins of this world and its story. And I've had way too much time to think about all this).
Also! If you'd like to make any of your own art or content inspired by my work, please feel free to credit and tag me as well with @jcryptid on Ao3/Tumblr, or @jcryptiddraws on insta. I'd absolutely love to see it and share it, and like most small creators out there, it's a non-zero chance that you might send me vibrating with enough joy to break the sound barrier and inadvertently convince my friends and family to take away what little caffiene I have left.
Also big shoutout to my Beta Reader and everyone who has supported me along this journey. Who knows what the future may hold, but by God I know its going to be interesting!
First chapter is now out!!!! I cannot understate just how fucking cool this AU is, and how much of a wonderful time I've been having listening to the wonderful jcryptid ramble to me about it over the years!!! Not to mention how cool it is to be their beta reader!!!!!!!!
Go have a read if you're a tma fan, or even if you aren't!! It's fantastic either way!
