TMA HC: "Somewhere Else" for those who aren't JMJ

I would like to think that those who became avatars through death have a special place: og!Elias, Michael Shelley, Helen Richardson, heck even Oliver Banks, Jane Prentiss, Richard Mendelson, James Wright, Sasha James and all those turned into the not-them, the victims of Maxwell Rayner, and others I probably forgot. It's not quite a heaven, a hell, or even a purgatory but a place where they are sent after their deaths that acknowledges that their lives were cut short in an unfortunate and supernatural way. That their bodies are still out there but are no longer theirs. They didn't get a funeral. They didn't get a goodbye because seemingly they are still there.

And above all, I would like to think that it is pleasant, even if just out of pity from the universe. It would be sad, yes--Michael who realised that he had been kept in the dark by his coworkers this entire time knowing that things could've ended differently, Helen realising she wasn't crazy, Sasha knowing that there was so much left for her to do at the Institute and watching as her friends/coworkers don't recognise her, Oliver who just wanted a night of rest, og!Elias having many regrets over how he went through life without any real purpose--but it wouldn't be like a hell. It's more bitter than sweet but it isn't torture. It's not an eternal punishment or eternal life. It's just a special place where they mourn what could've been. A Somewhere Else just for them, for the victims of the Fears who died knowing that a horrible thing now wears their identity.

Not going to lie, The Not Them is kind of an ass name. Like It couldn’t be referred to as the replacement or something like that? Like The Not Them isn’t an inherently bad name for the creature but at the same time, it just sounds very awkward.

fuck this, I'm going to the circus where none truly know your name and you are sure that your friend didn't look like that yesterday...

Just Talking about Magnus Archives

What is your favorite Magnus Entity and which one scares you the most? Why?

For me personally, my favorite is the Spiral because it's just a very fun vibe when it's not trying to kill you. The sound affects for the spiral are also very fun.

The one I fear most though is the Stranger, mostly because of the not-them. The idea that something malicious has taken the identity of someone around you, and can decide to attack you at any moment, all while no one will believe you or help you.
