they/them | sideblog dedicated to tma (mostly jonah magnus)

[dr-fanshawe]

hi. this is my tma sideblog

about me:

19, they/them

I write. occasionally

asks/dms open, and I enjoy when people add something to my posts. don't be afraid to talk to me if you have anything to say

about this blog:

I mostly post about Jonah Magnus (or people that have direct relations to him). that includes a lot of jonelias and regency era pairings: my favorite one at the moment is magshawe (Jonah Magnus/Jonathan Fanshawe), but I do post about other ships too

my posts/reblogs/my writing may include suggestive or explicit things. mute #nsft if you don't want to see it

tagging system:

#mine – for my posts

#additions – for reblogs with commentary, both to my own posts and other people's

#regency era tma – I try to tag all posts and reblogs that have something to do with tma characters of the regency era, but I often forget to do that. oops

#jonelias heritage post – je posts that had a lot of influence on me. this tag doesn't actually work like those heritage posts blogs. I don't use it that often because I forget to

#fics – for the obvious

I try to tag potentially triggering content as #cw [trigger], but, again, I can forget to do that. ask me to tag specific triggers if you need it

nothing special about my character/ship tags. ask me if something is unclear?

I'm not really into the magnus archives anymore, but I still cherish Jonah... I wouldn't say he's the main reason I value my life more and fear death harder now, but it was pretty revolutionary to a 16 year old me to see someone hanging onto their life so desperately

im surprised no one else did this since gerry is stuck in a book

oh well

[taxinealkaloids]

Drifting from my usual fixations, I am suddenly possessed with thoughts about the James Wright era of Jonah Magnus. There's so much there. I've spoken extensively to some people about parallels between Peter and both Mordechai and Barnabas, and I feel that this time period is particularly interesting on that front.

I am of the opinion that, by the time we meet him in canon, Peter is no longer capable of maintaining any kind of meaningful connections, even with Jonah. But, as a young man? He's positively smitten with James, as much as he is avoidant of it. Jonah thrives with such attention, of course, but it's bittersweet in a way he only dares to explore in the most private corners of his mind. The Lukas heir has a striking resemblance to Mordechai, in a way that sometimes makes his stomach turn unpleasantly, yet he is actions and temperament remind him so much more of his Barnabas.

Watching him grow more and more like Mordechai as time goes on and he grows more faithful to the Lonely. Jonah knowing that this... whatever they have feeds the Lonely in a way that would give Mordechai a disgusting level of satisfaction, but not having it within him to put any more distance between them than he is forced to.

"I sank down to the floor next to the desk, a distant part of me knowing that the chair was occupied, even if I couldn’t see him." 

One of the scenes I really liked from an amazing fic The Making of Jonah Magnus by @thetoadking1 , when Jonah finds out Barnabas died

Upon the stair, 2025

Based on Hughes Mearns’ “Antigonish”

Yesterday, upon the stair,

I met a man who wasn't there

He wasn't there again today

I wish, I wish he'd go away...

When I came home last night at three

The man was waiting there for me

But when I looked around the hall

I couldn't see him there at all!

Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!

Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door... (slam!)

Last night I saw upon the stair

A little man who wasn't there

He wasn't there again today

Oh, how I wish he'd go away...

Secret glances, hidden love—eye miniatures were the ultimate 18th-century love token. These strikingly modern-looking portraits, cropped to preserve anonymity, were worn as jewelry, held close to the heart as a reminder of distant lovers.

Artists are unknown, and the Eye Miniatures featured here are English.
