Where your traumatic paranormal experiences are more than just a snack for our terrifying overlords.
Have you perhaps encountered something strange? Something unexplainable? Something… spooky?
Well so have we, and we’re here to tell you that
STATEMENTS DON’T HELP!!!!
Jonah Magnus will survive with or without your statement,
(Unfortunately)
but if you give it to him, or gods forbid, his Archivist, we can guarantee your life will never be the same.
Fuck the Institute.
Whatever you’re experiencing, they won’t stop it.
They won’t help.
But we can.
Join us. Join the alternative.
We can face the horrors together.
(OOC under the cut)
Hello! I’m Rat!
This is my first Oc related ask blog and I’m really looking forward to sharing my story and characters with you guys!
What even is this?
This is one of two of my TMA ask blogs, the other one being my Institute blog, which will, on occasion, cross over with this one.
The Institute Alternative is effectively a support group for people who have experienced the horrors. The cofounders, Iris and Thalia, are both statement givers who met in their dreams. They formed the group to stop others from giving their statements to Jonah and the eye and in doing so, gathered together the colourful cast of characters who will be answering your asks.
What characters?
I’m glad you asked!
Thalia Burton
Alignment(s): The Lonely
Group member: Cofounder
Iris Lewis
Alignment(s): The Lonely?
Group member: Cofounder
Beverly Bev Orwell
Alignment(s): The Spiral and The Web
Group member: 1
Edgar Wilde
Alignment(s): The eye
Group member: 2
Joseph Allan
Alignment(s): The corruption
Group member: 3
Francis Allan

Group member: 4

Yeah, but what’s the format of the blog?
Book.
(Also asks answered by more than one character are written on one page of the book)
Does it have a timeline?
I want to say this is around season four and the backstory stuff will have taken place in the earlier seasons, but there aren’t any specific dates because I don’t have time to pay that much attention to detail lol.
Any rules?
Nah not really.
I’m a minor so no NSFW,
but other than that, just be civil ig.

Effectively, I sign up for most arts related extracurriculars and events and t’is the season that all of those collide and my schedule gets INSANE. That mixed with surprise family visits and Finals season makes for a world where my phone is the least of my priorities.
Soooooooo…. Yeah
I’ll be back this summer with my traumatized blorbos
I feel like I focus much more on your boyfriend than you so I’m just here asking if there’s anything you’d like to share with us. After all I’m only rude to people I don’t like and you seem cool. Well minus the whole like wanting ur bf to propose while the bf is ignoring the relationship’s existence. So yeah.

(Hard launching that he transed his gender cuz I forgot to mention or imply it lol)
