Cash found a shitty romance novel featuring Lord Vellum in his then-new roommate, now-boyfriend’s collection of cheesy romances and, as the son of one of the real Vellum’s generals, had no choice but to read it and hate every second of it. Likewise, I had no choice but to draw the cover. And now my DM has given backstories to the authors and threatened to write excerpts. How the bullshit perpetuates itself.

Hi! I really liked your quiz on the entitys (I got the eye), and i'm curious so id like to ask, if its not much of a bother, whixh entity did *you* get op?

I got The Extinction, actually! (Tbh, the fact that The Extinction is the entity that resonates most with me personally and that most other quizzes give The Extinction the shaft was a huge motivating factor for making this quiz.)

[glitchvitch]

I made a quiz to see which entity would be your patron! I tried to make it as thorough as possible, so it’s a bit long. I included my reasoning for each of the results under the cut.

(Edit: I’ve tweaked the quiz since release to make it a bit more balanced between the entities. As it turns out, most people would want to be a wizard if they could be.)

Explanations of Results

The Buried: The appeal of The Buried seems to be comfort, safety, sleep, and peace, so I gave points for The Buried to answers that reflected a desire for personal comfort and desire. The reasoning behind this one mostly comes from Hezekiah Wakely’s statement in MAG152, but is also reinforced by Karolina in MAG52, since she got out of the helltrain by peacefully embracing her impending burial, and Enrique in MAG88, who says he dreams of being “safe and happy below”.

The Corruption: You gain points for The Corruption through answers that express a desire for love, intimacy, and belonging, as well as a concern for loved ones. This one got confirmed by the creators in the S4 Q&A, which is nice because that means I don’t have to justify myself.

The Dark: This one’s tricky, which is fitting for its status as a direct enemy of The Eye. While none of the statements we have directly state what draws people to The Dark, we do have some circumstantial evidence that we can consider:

In MAG25, Natalie tries to convert Kathy so she “can be saved.”

In MAG135, Maxwell Rayner extends an offer to Elias to forsake The Eye and be spared.

Manuela only returns to her parents on their deathbed to spread her gospel to them, “so they might die with the fear of darkness on their lips.”

From this, it is clear that there is some aspect of evangelizing and preaching to avatars of The Dark. But there is more:

Mark states that one of Natalie’s only interests was politics.

Natalie describes the People’s Church of the Divine Host as “a new home... a new family.”

Manuela monologues in her statement about how a few thousand years of life barely compares to “the uncountable eternity of darkness.”

“In many ways, my work back then was a betrayal of my principles, for what is research and study if not doing the work of the light, taking what is true and hidden and rendering it revealed and imperfect.”

We can extrapolate from these that a core feature of The Dark is a concern with secrets and mysteries, but also a desire to be part of something bigger than yourself: community and family, politics, religion, etc.

The Desolation: Obviously you get points for The Desolation when you express enjoying others’ pain and a desire to destroy things, since that’s a core part of The Desolation. However, since pretty much all avatars of The Desolation that we’ve seen have been in positions of power (religious leader, factory manager, landlord, stock broker), a secondary appeal of The Desolation appears to be a desire for leadership and power, so you get points for answers expressing those desires as well.

The End: People who truly gain power from The End, like Oliver Banks and “Jane Doe”, tend to be miserable, nihilistic, passive, and concerned with the inevitable and the passage of time.

Note: I am not including Tova McHugh and the Deaths among these, as they seem to be more tormented by The End than benefiting from it, and because their philosophy of desperately holding onto what they have left seems directly opposed to The End. Oliver also seems to have had this quality at first, seeing as he tried to save multiple people he saw in his visions, but gives up shortly before his transformation into a true avatar of The End.

The Extinction: This one is going to require some explanation on my part. While The Extinction doesn’t have a proper avatar, since it hasn’t fully emerged yet, MAG144 seems to come the closest to explaining what might draw someone to The Extinction of all the statements we have that might be related to it.

Gary is stuck in a house that “hasn’t changed since he was fifteen”.

He had only intended to take care of his father after his mother died, but “[he’d] been there for five years before [he] knew it”.

He is worried about ending up being the exact same as his father.

He describes that summer where he encountered the numbers as “dragging on forever”.

“...while I could, theoretically, contact my old mates, they’d all gotten on with their lives without me. The world had moved on. I was left behind.”

So clearly, his neuroses are related to things remaining the exact same into perpetuity. By contrast, he goes on long walks “to try and escape for a bit”, which is when he first begins to hear the numbers.

So basically, my theory is that the appeal of The Extinction comes from a desire for change of any kind, for something to be different than the way it currently is, and a repulsion to stagnation like the kind that Gary was experiencing. I threw in some answers about concern with the world, the future, technology, as well as expressions of pessimism and cynicism.

(Incidentally, I have a pet theory that we’ll be seeing Gary in S5 as a full avatar of The Extinction, now that it’s gotten a power-up from the apocalypse.)

The Eye: You get points for The Eye through answers that express curiosity, a desire for knowledge, and paranoia. We’ve been with The Eye for four seasons, you should know what’s up by now.

The Flesh: Obviously, our best source for the appeal of The Flesh is from Jared Hopworth, whose main concern is with achieving “the perfect body”. So answers that give you points for The Flesh express a concern with exercise and your body, along with answers related to eating meat and neutrality towards cannibalism.

The Hunt: As seen by Daisy, Trevor, and Julia, The Hunt seems to be associated with a desire to do the right thing, for what is a very black-and-white view of the word “right”. (Hence we have The Hunt’s association with police, who define “right” as “legal”.) In addition, as seen in MAG133, Hunters seem to like challenge and competition, so answers that express those desires give you points for The Hunt too.

The Lonely: You get points for The Lonely for answers related to introversion and a desire for independence and isolation. If Martin’s monologues in S4 are any indication, you get points for The Lonely through answers related to introspection on your feelings too.

The Slaughter: People associated with The Slaughter, particularly Melanie during her time as an avatar, display hot-headedness, impatience, and a tendency towards violence. Pretty straightforward, tbh.

The Spiral: Our best examples of avatars of The Spiral are the Worker-In-Clay, Michael, and Helen. What the first two have in common is what seems to be a desire for entertainment, playfulness, and mischief, where they appear to enjoy messing with people. Helen is more serious at first, but even she gains that playfulness by her last appearance in S4, when she refuses to tell Jon what’s in the tunnels because she thinks “it will be much more fun without [her] involvement.” Extrapolating from the Worker-In-Clay’s name and actions during his associated statement, as well as the fantastical nature of The Spiral’s ritual, you also get points for The Spiral for imagination and creativity.

As a final note, befitting its status as The Twisting Deceit, you get points for The Spiral for lying and gaslighting.

The Stranger: Like The Dark, The Stranger is a tricky one because it is so directly opposed to the understanding of The Eye. The closest we get to someone stating the appeal of The Stranger is Breekon’s statement, particularly these lines:

“...with the circus, we were among our own kind at last. They all had names, true enough, but none would dare pretend that names were real. Faces changed more often than clothes, and nobody truly knew who anybody was, save for their function within the show.”

We can extrapolate from his statement that a core feature of The Stranger’s appeal is the desire for anonymity, fluid identity, and a concern with acting and persona. Additionally, since Michael says that The Stranger “conceals”, you also get points for obfuscating information.

The Vast: You get points for The Vast by being easy-going, impulsive, and unconcerned by most things, like how Simon Fairchild and Mike Crew seem to be. It should be noted that Mike Crew seemed notably forgetful about aspects of his past and especially about his victims, compared to someone like Helen who does remember her victims.

The Web: The appeal of The Web seems to be centered around a desire to control and manipulate others. Annabelle, our prime exemplar of an avatar of The Web, was a notable liar and manipulator of her family during her childhood, but despite that “it was clear that happiness was not something I could have; within that family there was simply too much that I couldn’t control.” You also get points for The Web by being proactive with your goals and planning ahead.

[streetkit]

I remember back on my old Lion King VHS when I was really little there was a commercial for Kimba, and I always wanted to watch that but never got the chance. I’m pretty sure as a part of their giving up the lawsuit the court ruled they actually had to advertise for Kimba
