Finally done at the Institute

[TMA oc] -- [Picrew by wxrringtxn] -- Wow, I left with a bit of chaos, but at least its done

[holdenassistant]

Right, and with a certain amount of chaos going on (half of which I've caused), I would like to make an announcement before I entirely shift the focus of my 'work blog.'

I genuinely came to the Magnus Institute for information, and now that I've got it, I am leaving. And -jokes on everyone else- I can quit at any time because I'm not human. I prefer the term and name Changeling, but everyone else calls it a Not!Them.

I'll still take questions like normal, but good luck everyone else, I'm out of here 👍

(Might update the blog to be a for fun, unprofessional thing when I find a good next victim tho lol)

Oh. Right. And because I got an ask about it, I should say that I prefer he/him, don't mind they/them, and do NOT like she/her.

(([Making this the new Pinned Post, so I have to add more stuff below lol]))

Rules stay as normal. ... In the sense that I don't have many besides just being a decent and normal human being. I do accept (and honestly encourage because they're fun) Magic Anons.

I'm going to try to get better at tagging with this next stage, but we're going to see how well that goes.

Oh and-

:)

Oh also. Old Profile Pic vs new one

[holdenassistant]

Update for you guys:

Changeling here again.

Fuck it, we ball, I guess?

I'm currently in the process of trying something new. Going to update the profile picture to something default, because I'm actually going to try to be a ~scary monster~ for a bit. I have a theory, but I'm still a little too embarrassed to actually share it in case I'm super wrong. This is mostly just to prove that I can instead of being "friendly" and "just sort or vaguely unsettling" tbh.

Anyway, keep an eye out for any possible updates from victims. Maybe this works. Maybe it doesn't, and it turns out I am -in fact- terrible at my job. I have no clue. We'll see.

[gayghosthunting]

Wow. I decided to look back on Tumblr for Halloween, and man, you've definitely made a lot of progress while I wasn't looking.

But either way, I looked under what information you have and seeing a description of ME with 'friendly' in parenthesis definitely gave me... An Emotion. I feel like I'm doing bad at my job here, man. I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be scarier than this, but I've just been idling for way longer than I should be.

So I might try something new and maybe see how this goes?? I probably shouldn't announce that publicly, but whatever by this point. I have no idea if this is going to change how I'm categorized or prove that I need more practice. But either way, it's worth a shot, I think? Maybe?

- Changeling (I think you have me listed as "the-thing-that-wasn't-Holden"? Or something similar)

It’s been getting hectic lately.

I mean, I'll be honest here, the bar isn't exactly high. It's more like didn't try and kill me, might try and kill me and tried to kill me. With varying levels of nuance if I can be bothered. I am a professional after all.

But you were friendly: You were polite, you were informative, and you were polite. Generally… Humane I guess. Don’t get me wrong, you were still– well you did speak about stealing someone’s life without any sense of empathy. But that’s nothing that’s not expected, unfortunately. You were good.

You should try something new. I’d looking forward to it. As– as long as it’s less murderous.

[holdenassistant]

... Is it unfortunate for me to say that the plan is -in fact- murder and trying to be actually scary for once?

This is a TMA roleplay prompt. To participate in this event, reblog this post using your RP blog, or check the existing reblogs for active participants and interact with them!

(Applies to all avatars of any power.)

You felt a tug— on the bindings of your existence, the strings that tie you to your patron. You were pulled, and pulled, and pulled, until you uncoiled and popped out on the other end of reality. Your ribs hurt, and your chest felt squeezed and pressed like canned meat.

You are here. But where is here? You look around and all you see is endless black sand, blowing in a wind that sounds like screams. No, those are screams. Others are here with you. You do not know who they are.

How will you proceed?

[holdenassistant]

Changeling groans, just standing there for a bit, "Okay... So Nihility HSR Vibes- Jesus Christ, I need to pick someone more normal than Jo next time. I guess this means I'm -like- dead or something?"

They look out across the others, seeing if there's anyone who particularly wants to talk to them before they start idly walking in a random direction they deem good enough.

[holdenassistant]

Options because I'm indecisive:

How do I get back into a lil rp

join the group rp event

Changeling moves on to a new body and sees how long it takes to be found out

AU event where Beta/Draft Changeling gets swapped in (tw he's Not A Good Person)

Voting ended onOct 18, 2025

Wow okay 100% for the event thing I saw. Genuinely unexpected. I was going to use one that I found unless there's another event idk about going on-))

((Hey so I kinda want to get back into rp, and I had a thought. What if I do a little event where I get to show off Changeling's First Design/Backstory that was deemed "a little too dark" and was group-voted to change. Because his personality would be WAY different, even if it's the same "Holden." Idk how that would work though))

[holdenassistant]

Lmao okay so... I have to give some context because I'm weirdly having fun.

I had this whole conversation thing with the date awhile back, and I'm probably just going to call her Liv because I can't keep calling her "the date." It was basically me being like "Hey, so I don't know what my sexuality is, and also I'm literally a monster. Why are you still here?"

And I kid you not. She looks at me and goes, "I mean you haven't eaten me yet and you don't seem flat out evil, so..."

I had to take a second to recover from the psychic damage that gave me. I genuinely debated just eating her out of some sort of spite.

But now I uh... might be inadvertently creating a Hunt Avatar because we made a pact that she'd track me down when I eat someone else. I'm somehow both endeared and concerned by her attitude towards all this.

I... think I made a human friend at the very least? Somehow? I don't... it feels weird to have attachments to normal humans. Like I instinctively shouldn't be doing that. It's as if my brain says they should just be prey, but I adopted this one.

[holdenassistant]

((I'm FINALLY working on that animatic I promised months ago, and I just wanted to share what it would be like if my four main tma ocs interact through it. I don't have a blog for the one in the mask and I probably will never because she is. Yikes.))

((ANYWAYS. Knowing how my brain works, it's probably gonna be another month before it's actually done lol))

[holdenassistant]

Oh WOW.

As much as I make fun of The Date for being a monsterfucker in our interactions... I think I just had an awakening.

Am I a monsterfucker if I -a monster- find another monster incredibly attractive? I didn't stop and chat because she was. Uh. Definitely mid-feeding. But WOW. HUH.

[floral-demise]

There is a flower shop. The sign over the door reads Floral Time, with an ornate clock wreathed in flowers hanging below it. Through the large, slightly steamed up windows, you can see the figure of a slim young man arranging flowers. There are no customers in the shop.

[holdenassistant]

The door to the flower shop opens, and in walks a pink-haired person.

"Hey, I... possibly stupid question, but what kind of flowers would you recommend for a date thing? That's... something that people do sometimes, right?"

[floral-demise]

“Oh, that’s a great gift idea! I’ve got plenty of flowers with romantic meanings.”

[holdenassistant]

"Do you -uh- have any that are particularly hardy? I don't want to accidently kill it if I wind up leaving in the car while we go to a bar or something. Actually, do flowers die that easily? I don't know how this works."

[floral-demise]

Florian considers this for a moment. "Hmm. Any flower wouldn't appreciate being left in a hot car. Are you looking for a living plant or a cutting?"

[holdenassistant]

"I... don't know. I've never been on a date before. What's the most socially acceptable one to bring? A cutting, I think?"

[holdenassistant]

I just had a realization. I was zoning out for a bit, and my brain went, "When I move on to the next person, I'm targeting someone with a cool job."

And I realized.

How fucked up and funny would it be if I managed to track down and replace a news reporter? Or basically anyone that's on tv or the radio a lot.

[holdenassistant]

Elaborating now that I have time. I think it would be a lot of fun to replace some type of famous person that a lot of people see on a daily basis. I feel an emotion that I still don't know the name for when I imagine the absolute confusion and horror someone would feel when they see an actor they like suddenly look different, all while nobody else seems to notice. How many different insane theory boards would be made? Seeing people lose it online would have to feel so amazing.

Am I being too bold here? There has to be a good reason people aren't doing this. Aside from the effort it would take to find a famous person.

[speyeralling-down-thy-majesty]

Replace the local politician and cause chaos!

[holdenassistant]

Honestly? Great idea. Only con is I have no idea how politics work (and the mini pact I made with the Monsterfucker [tm], but that's less important)

[speyeralling-down-thy-majesty]

That just makes it better! Do you think politicians know what they're doing?? I knew some, they're BORING.

[holdenassistant]

Great point tbh. I'd just have to try to -like- find one to replace.

Wait hold on thought. I jump from popular figure to popular figure and man-make conspiracy boards about what's happening.

Oh good lord. You're with that bug... entity... thing. Corruption, I think?

I have no idea how the politics between entities work, but I am -like- 99% sure that this is false and you very much do NOT want me. I don't think skin/mimics and bugs have much of an overlap on a venn diagram.
