PHM x TMA (1)

[madame-snail-smooches]

it kills me that Gertrude Robinson spent years making the Archives as disorganized and obscured as possible to hide things from the Eye, because what that means is that at some point she went, "I need to hide the Eye's own statements from the Eye in the Eye's own temple. What stops people from finding their own things? The messiest fucking bedroom you've ever seen" AND IT WORKED

[speyeraltma]

I want it to be known that wouldn't have worked if I was there. I could find it still.

[speyeraltma]

Can I have some of the bones? I made them, they're mine. I can make a chair out of them :)

[i-have-many-stomachs-to-feed]

[speyeraltma]

(OOC)

I was just singing a song on my Vast playlist and I SWEAR I heard the wind basically knock at my door?????? Like the breeze picked up and I could hear it and it sounded like something crashed into the door or is trying to open it

I did check outside just in case and there’s no one there, locking the door though just in case the eldritch horrors get any ideas

[the-vast-offical]

UPDATE:

I ONLY LEFT THE HOUSE ONCE TODAY SINCE THAT HAPPENED AND IT WAS TO GO TO TRAINING FOR WORK (at a place that's weirdly Stranger/Spiral coded) AND DURING TRAINING A STORM STARTED REALLY SUDDENLY AND IT WAS RAINING A FUCK TON AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE RAIN I SWEAR I FELT VERTIGO

THAT DRIVE HOME WAS ACTUALLY TERRIFYING I WAS GENUINELY TELLING THE VAST NOT TO TAKE ME YET

But OF COURSE when I was done yelling "FALLING TITAN PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME RIGHT NOW" THE NEXT LYRIC OF THE SONG I WAS LISTENING TO WAS "All of my love, all of my life, given to you, sacrificed"??????????

GUYS AS MUCH AS I'D LOVE TO BECOME AN AVATAR I SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THIS RIGHT NOW 💔💔💔

[the-vast-offical]

Hey so. A storm just started here right around when my mom and I were going to leave and we can SEE the edges of the storm. Literally if you walk far enough in either direction to the side you’ll be out of the rain in 10 minutes. The storm is almost SPECIFICALLY over this house what the fuck

[the-vast-offical]

I’m also realizing that the scent I’ve been smelling every so often recently, that only lasts for a few seconds at a time, IS WEIRDLY SIMILAR TO THE SMELL OF A STORM

GUYS???? GUYS I HAVE FINALS TOMORROW I CANNOT BE HAVING THIS SHIT 🥀💔

[michael-the-distortion-official]

[robert-smirke-official]

Ever since i was a child Ive had a very strong urge to consume my own blood and I have on many occasions. It doesn’t taste like much anymore but it used to taste so good

Why has my blood lost it’s flavor doctor

Not a doctor but the simple answer is your tastes have evolved. You need someone else's blood.

[speyeraltma]

I made a kaleidoscope!

You can use it as an eye stamp and see pretty colors forever.

Do you wanna see pretty colors forever?

Yes you do.

[justiceneedsglasses]

Ok hear me out.

Daredevil and the Distortion are thematically opposed.

We've got the lawyer, who senses the world differently from others, who can tell if someone is lying by their heartbeat, and seeks out truth the bloody way by night.

And we've got the throat of delusion, whose very nature cannot be understood, who will never give you a straight answer, and whose job it is is to undermine peoples confidence in their own reality, make people not trust their own senses.

I can imagine them meeting, and Michael's heartbeat start to skip beats, speeding up and slowing down at complete random.

Something in there was a lie, but Mathew has no idea what, perhaps it was all the truth, he normally would know, but now he doesn't. This guy could say that the sky was blue, and maybe it would be a lie... maybe it could, Mathew didn't know what color the sky was, for all he knew it wasn't blue at all.

asked this boat captain looking dude for directions and he told me to leave him alone motherfucker where am i

magnus archives' fear entities are so interesting I wish we got to know more about them. 200 whole episodes and we really just don't know much about any of them and how they work

we see more of what they do (manifest as supernatural occurrences and haunt people) than get any understanding of what they are.

How do they choose who to target? We see them targeting both people with an aversion to the Fear and people with an affinity for the Fear in question. Is it completely random, or is there something specific that draws them to people?

What qualifies as 'fear' by their standards? Based on the series as a whole it seems to be more of any negative emotional response rather than the biological chemical release of the hormones we would classify as 'fear'.

What level of sentience or will do the entities themselves have? Do they have enough 'will' to actively seek out feeding themselves, or is it more of a reflex, like a plant rotating its leaves towards sunlight?

Do they choose their own avatars? We know that not every person affiliated with an entity who has a near-death experience becomes an avatar, and we can't just dismiss that as them actively choosing to remain human. And if the entities do choose, that would imply more sentience than we've previously afforded them.

What's the line between Avatar and just being affiliated with an entity? Melanie was affiliated strongly enough with the slaughter that she was able to mark Jon, but she wasn't an avatar. How does that work? How does 'getting marked' even work? It's deeply unclear. You'd think you'd need an avatar or an active manifestation to occur to mark someone.

ALSO. Absolutely stupid question, I'm a bit embarrassed to ask, but.

How was Jon marked by the Eye.

Just 'working at the magnus institute' shouldn't mark him. And becoming an avatar shouldn't mark him either. He never had an adverse experience with the eye. he was never haunted or harmed by the eye. All the other marks were from clear adverse experiences. If every person who existed in the vicinity of supernatural things was considered 'marked' then half of the magnus institute's employees would have been marked by everything by now.

Jon was validly harmed and haunted by everything else, but the eye never did anything spooky and haunting to him.

[speyeraltma]

I'm pretty sure Jon hated being turned into a monster against his will. So becoming an avatar would also mark him by these standards.
