Thinking about the title “The Magnus Archives” in light of what we learn. At first it’s just, there’s this institute called the Magnus Institute and the story is set in the archives. Fine. But then no, Magnus isn’t just a random name or a random historical figure. He is one of the main characters. The show is named after Elias. But it’s also more than that because Jon IS the archive.
Jon is Magnus’s Archive.
I posted them a while ago, but I've edited them. I'll make reference sheets for them sometime soon.

About crafting, ableism, accessibility.
I've been wanting to bring this up for a while, actually.
I hate that there are people out there who call loom knitting "cheating at knitting". I've TRIED regular knitting, it makes my hands hurt very quickly (it's also why I don't often write on paper with a pen - my hands have never handled that well to begin with).
I find loom-knitting infinitely more accessible and incredibly easy to pick up on, as well as endlessly versatile and even addicting. It offers me an option to enjoy a hobby I otherwise wouldn't have been able to get into at all. If anything, I see it as a good thing that knitting looms are becoming more popular.
It's just bizarre to me how something like a CRAFTING HOBBY, something for purposes of self-expression, and the desire to create, can have communities still be full of gatekeeping.
This also applies to types of yarn that people choose to use in projects, if you can believe it. "You use acrylic? U know acrylic's plastic, right? Acrylic bad. Ew".
Like, there are people who are allergic to natural wool (I've known people who had to use acrylic because they're allergic to all regular wool yarn); there are people who are physically sensitive to how real wool feels on their skin (which was the case for me for much of my childhood, and that would lead to frequent sensory overloads)...
Maybe the only alternative to regular yarn wool available, IS, in fact, acrylic? (And yes, I know there are non-wool non-acrylic options, but some of them aren't suitable for most projects, some are simply unavailable to most people (like myself; I don't have access to yarn brands that North Americans have access to, thus, my options are fairly limited), and some offer no warmth whatsoever).
And I get it, plastic bad (acrylic, most knitting looms - all plastic), but those are options for more accessible crafting. But, honestly, can we please fucking stop pretending like some crafting communities aren't just fucking ableist for this gatekeeping sometimes, whether intentionally or not?
So much of what some people hate in crafting communities, boils down to gatekeeping hobbies and being mad when it becomes more accessible to people who can't do it the regular way for any particular reason. Of course this isn't EVERYBODY, but I've seen it happen enough times to bring it up at all.
I've seen regular knitting enthusiasts get pissed at people who make projects with knitting looms (calling it "cheating at knitting" etc.) or use acrylic yarn for any reason. I've seen people get discouraged from showing any more loom-knitting projects because of these (and other) reasons. I've seen some very intense judgement from people, when somebody talked about preferring acrylic yarn for their specific projects.
Maybe it's just what I think, but I feel like hobbies shouldn't be so full of gatekeeping. I don't think John KnittingNeedle will come to my house and make me explode forever, just because I used a knitting hook on a knitting loom, instead of torturing my hands by using regular knitting needles.
Nothing ever stands in place, including ways to do a hobby. There are tools and materials available to us now, that we wouldn't have had back in the early days of crafting, and all of that makes it easier than ever, to make something on your own.
not to be lame or whatever insult people might wanna call me, but as an aroace this site is fucking becoming unusable, like why is every other post about sex or romance or love, I'm sure it didn't use to be so bad. I simply feel a bit left out, because of course people can talk about whatever they want, but I don't really feel like I belong anywhere. I guess this is basically the aroace experience anywhere, not just on this site.
I have to say, though, I treasure all the posts by fellow aro/aces, they are like a light in the darkness, and honestly the reason why I keep using this site
@redistribution-of-cum, while you have a horrendous user, I will fuel you will Dorian content.
First, a few reasons I adore Dorian.
He's emotional. We get to see a huge amount of vulnerability in him. It's amazing.
He's a *good* friend. He cares.
He went out of his way to join the Inquisition. Despite the possible pushback from his already disapproving family, he wants to help and do good.
Mustache.
"Dorian told me afterwards. He, too, felt that we were destined to know eachother." (intro post!)
