March isn't over yet so managed to make art celebrating 10 years of The Magnus Archives!
This is Dr David to me
When Protocol ends, if RQ continues to explore parts of Magnus, what I wouldn't give for a series dedicated to Artifact Storage. We only really got a glimpse into what was there from snippets in TMA but think of allllllll the crazy stuff thats in there that wasn't associated with the Fears. I mean the Institute was founded in 1818 so Jonah was collecting for a looooooing time.
I'd love a peak inside espc since OG Sasha hated AS so much.
Set it during TMA to so we get them getting the spider table, the coffin, or other stuff involved with the Fears but don't discuss the Archive staff aside from casual mentions.
I've been relistening to TMA recently and though Jude Perry is far from my fave, I forgot how funny she is.
One of my favorite things about Elias is how comfortable he is being underestimated. I think a lot of people tend to write him as prideful and intolerant of disrespect, but he's really not?
His employees call him by his first name. The very first time we hear his voice it's Jon talking back and being snippy with him, and Elias barely admonishes him for his mistake for the first place. It was under his supervision that Gertrude "let" the Archives fall apart, and Jon + his assistants are obviously aware of that.
He stole the body and identity of a weed-smoking failson that was too young for the position he was in and only joined the Institute a few years prior. The Institute itself is kind of a laughingstock, openly mocked by academics and dismissed as "crackpots" that will accept literally anything.
Elias comes off as borderline incompetent until episode 80. He dismisses Jon's concerns about Prentiss, "admits" that he ran away like a coward and abandoned Sasha during the attack, and then apologizes because he couldn't figure out how to work the fire suppression system fast enough.
Even in Season 3 he still comes off like a dolt sometimes. He conveniently can't find Jon while he's been kidnapped, and then this whole conversation happens:
And a bit later:
And in season four, with Basira!! He apologizes to her after she physically assaults him, and then stutters about a "miscalculation" when Basira demands to know why he sent them to the North Pole.
And then Peter sums it up nicely in 159, after revealing that Elias has "lost" most of his wagers against him:
All of this!! Probably for 200+ years! He's most comfortable being overlooked and underestimated, he doesn't care about being disrespected or looked down on so long as he wins in the end. And he did.
I love this analysis and just wanted to add that underestimating Elias is exactly what got Gertrude killed. Even though she's knows he's been Jonah for years, got good enough to hide things from him, managed to stay human, turn the archives into what it was when Jon took over, she still underestimated him in the end.
In 158 as shes setting up to burn the archives down in the tunnels she assumes Elias won't find her due to The Dark's ritual and also because she probably also assumed whatever Jurgen was doing to the tunnels would also protect her. She outright states she isn't planning on dying.
Even with a gun aimed at her she can't help but quip about Elias "finally getting your hands dirty". Elias is right, she got complacent (as he did). Even then I still don't think she thought Elias would actually shoot her. She doesn't think he really has it in him to do anything like that, even tho she knows he obviously killed the real Elias when he bodied hopped.
She's like the tired overworked underpaid teacher who is in the middle of grading papers and her annoying student comes up to ask for something. She's busy and just wants him to leave.
She even tells Elias to shoot her or fucking leave. I mean what a power play that sadly went wrong for her. But I fully believe up until she heard the gun fire she never believed Elias was going to kill her. She really does initially sound shocked.
Literally will never recover from the character Jon Sims. Cursed by spiders from age 8. Acted skeptical of horrific entities while fighting said entities. Tried to cut off his own finger repeatedly. Partook in an enemies-to-lovers romance in which only he believed them to be enemies. Short. Kidnapped at least 3 times. Surrounded by queer women who are constantly threatening to kick his ass. No understanding of pop culture. Possessed by a purveyor of apocalyptic beat poetry. Said the first “I love you” in the show, directed at a cat that was biting him. Called a merry-go-round “thrilling.” Metaphysically disassembled anyone who was mean to his boyfriend. Said “good lord” unironically. Asked a murderous Russian clown why she didn’t sound Russian. He was even bi

Ok well I asked the Ceaseless Watcher to turn your gaze upon this wretched thing and drink. Your. Fill.
Not a brave man, but at times a very stubborn one

If I had a nickel for every time Alex Newall played/voiced a character in a horror podcast who got stuck in a room by a horror and only had peaches to eat I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Hello, I remember loving your TMA artworks on Twitter. I'm wondering if you still have the Angler Fish's human puppet bending at waist artwork which I thought was amazingly well done but doesn't seems to feature anywhere else once your Twitter account disappeared.
Magnus Archives Spin The Wheel Game:
You are being hunted down by this entity for a week straight. That means you are being hunted by manifestations of this entity and might find yourself in similar situations to past statement givers.
This character will help you survive. Their role is to give advice and help defend you against anything that tries to cause harm. How good they are at those two things depends solely on who you spin.
Of course, this is a game. And what's a game without some rules? Spin this wheel to be assigned a situation that will either help or hinder you.
Now, Would Survive The Week?
Yes and without a doubt. I won the spins.
It's likely. My chances are really good but there's still room for error.
It would be a real close call but I think so.
Maybe??? It's 50/50.
I am so unbelievably doomed.
I don't think I would but if luck aligned the right way I might be fine.
It would be a real close call but I probably wouldn't make it.
Because everything will always go back to TMA for me.... magnusifies your Arcane (these are just for fun obv)
Viktor- Eye/Corruption: his need to understand the hexcore at whatever cost. Literally putting his life at risk to figure it out. Corruption obv due to what it did to him. Throw in Lonely for good measure too.
Mel- Web: from playing Jayce like a puppet in s1, she gave off big Annabelle vibes for a loooooong time.
Jinx- Slaughter/Desolation/Lonely: the girl loves destruction and doesn't care if she takes out her own. Lonely obv gets bigger in s2.
Ekko- he's like Smirke, Leitner, those who can be around all the Fears but never be claimed by one.
Singed- Corruption/Flesh: He and Jared would have been bestie
Cait- Hunt: Her pursuit of Jinx in s2.
Jayce- Eye/Web: Along with Viktor's need for knowledge, he has big Eye vibes but also Web given how charming he is and smoothing everything out.
Silco- Spiral: he is SO good at manipulation. I mean you could go Web for him but I feel Spiral fits him better due to how chaotic he can be. He gets in your head.
If I didn't include someone using because I couldn't think of any. Feel free to add, I'd like others takes.
Visited old fishmarket close today!! No skin stealing monsters in sight but there was some anglerfish graffiti, whoever did that I love you know,
Gwen immediately announcing she's incharge while Alice is freaking out about Sam is the most Bouchard thing she could do.
Elias would be proud.
it’s on the train
i was struck with a brainworm. pls take this very messy archivist art.
Goodbye, Colin.
