[The] Archivist Archetroper

Edited upon the request of friends for further clarification.

A flag for archetropers who's archtrope is the Archivist from the Magnus Archives. Not necessarily fictionkin of Jon or Gertrude, simply "The Archivist."

"You see, the role of Archivist has been part of the Beholding for as far back as my research can go." —MAG 160, The Eye Opens

The Archivist is a role (archetype) that exists under the Beholding, not the Magnus Institute. Although throughout the podcast, the main Archivist we focus on is Jonathan Sims, there are various Archivists throughout the history of the fears. Before Jon, Gertude Robinson, and even further back in time, the Archivist of the Serapheum in Alexandria (as mentioned in a statement). In the present day, even? The Archivist from the Magnus Protocol.

"From somewhere deeper within that strange, ancient library there was a sound of movement. The rustling of cloth, and a slow rhythmic step coming toward me. [...]The sense of being watched was getting stronger, an almost physical weight that seemed to drag me down. [...] It wore what looked like the remains of an ancient robe, and in the darkness I could see long spindly fingers stretching, probing toward me. From within its huge, flowing hood I could see nothing except a single lidless eye." —Regarding the Archivist in Alexandria, MAG 53, Crusader

Alexandria's archivist is implied to have even been alive during the events of the Magnus Archives, being an ancient being looking over its library. Furthermore, group of Archivists (a Sighting, if you will) is also noted beneath the Panopticon during season 5, which implies that various Archivists can exist at a time. The Eye's special little boy might've been Jon, but the title encompasses many. Thus, my reasoning for stating that an Archivist is not necessarily a fictionkin of the more well-known characters.

Individuals who feel aligned with this identity may also feel that their archtropes may overlap with Avatar or the Beholding.

[The] Viewer/Watcher Archetrope

A flag for archetropers whose archetrope is simply a viewer/watcher. Whether it be the viewer as in an audience, the one documenting events, the passing observer, a ceaseless watcher, or an archivist. You are watching. You are viewing. You are listening. You are Seeing.

Those with this archetrope may also feel connected to [Night Vale] Podcaster, Avatar of the Eye, Historian, Archivist, or other similar documenting/observing-relating archetropes.

Avatar [of the Vast] Archetrope

A flag for archtropers whose archetrope is an avatar of the Vast from the Magnus Archives.

This color pallette has been sitting in a folder. For years. Waiting for the moment to torture my fellow vastards with REVELATION.

Cosmic Plaything Archetroper

A flag for archtropers who are a cosmic plaything, a magnet for misfortune and impossibly unlucky odds.

[The] Player Archetroper

A flag for archetropers whose archetrope is the Player, as in, the main character from a game. Not necessarily a specific main character, and not necessarily the character itself, simply: The Player.

Obligated blonde colour for the sheer amount of blonde MCs out there. I always associated the MC with the actual world, hence the blues and greens representing the world they explore. The brown kind of represents how some people might feel grounded in a fictional reality, or simply immersed. Perhaps in severe need of touching grass, the rare endangered species.

Avatar [of the Lonely] Archetroper

A flag for archetroper's whose archetrope is an Avatar, specifically an Avatar of the Lonely.

Had a colour palette, didn't like the colours. So I made my own to properly represent london fog rolling beneath the grim rainy sky. (The palette I had saved had. REALLY bright colours.)

Avatar [of the Spiral] Archetroper

A flag for archetropers whose archetrope is an Avatar of the Spiral.

Okay. So I have one more request to work on...but first...I have to bully a friend with a spiral rave party.

The original is animated! Under the cut for flashing lights + eyestrain.
