A DISTORTIONS TRIAL
If Jon has to die alongside Jonah at the end just so that Jonny "I make a pun at every chance" Sims can call the episode "An eye for an eye" I'm gonna scream.
Never know who needs to hear this...
"You matter in this space right here, as you are."

Ok yeah.
i always assumed jonah magnus does the eye transfers himself once he gets too many wrinkles but like. that man is such a wimp about death i refuse to believe he doesn’t have a backup plan in case of a spontaneous heart attack
can you imagine being the person on jonah magnus’ emergency contact list. the hospital calls you to regretfully inform you that “james wright has had a heart attack this morning we are very sorry for your loss” and suddenly you are in a race against time to find the hottest office twink of the decade and tear his fucking eyes out
as i have previously mentioned, i have spent some time on tma twitter, gathering knowledge, appreciating art and memes, sighing copiously at replies, choking at tweet threads, and all around having a horrible but no doubt addicting time. like slow car crash addicting. but anyway.
what i have learned is this! people have vastly differing but aligned opinions about one elias bitchard, such that they seem to fall on a slider scale almost. and so here i present them to you as i have encountered them in the wild (none of which reflect my own opinion, save for the first of them):
i hate his bitch ass but mostly ironically/as a joke because it's fun to hate him and he deserves it for being such an evil stupid bastard and hurting x character(s), but that's about it. it's not super deep mostly i just like dunking on him
i unironically fucking hate his guts if i met him irl i'd rip his throat out with my bare hands. what a disgusting wretch of a man, just listening to him speak gives me hives. everything about him is Gross, don't even talk to me about him i'll go feral
angrier, more rigid subset of the previous: i unironically hate elias bouchard and do not understand how any of you freaks can possibly stand this evil, abusive, digusting barely human being and then further still wanna fuck him/ship other characters with him, he's not sexy and never has been shut the fuck up
he's uninteresting and boring to me and i don't see why y'all love to talk about him so much tbh :/ subpar villain bitch at best, i barely like him as a character let alone a person. find someone more interesting to talk about, there's a whole assortment
hypothetical indifferent neutral space that i've yet to encounter in actuality, this mf is polarizing lmao even at ppl's least interested attitudes towards him
actually no i lied true neutral is not giving a shit about jonah magnus and instead stanning and pondering about the life of the original weedman bouchard, whoever he may have been. rip the poor poor man he probably didn't deserve to have his eyeballs scooped like an ice cream cone
elias is is such an interesting and complex character to me and i enjoy writing/drawing/talking about him because alongside his general reprehensible and horribly evil qualities as a person he's such a powerful and cunning character. but at his core he's really just pathetic old man who's scared to die and is searching for the power to dominate and manipulate others and extend his existence by any means necessary before his clock runs out. and i think that's both horrible and fascinating.
i ironically love elias/am stupid horny for him because i think running after this nasty literally evil man with high maintenance bitch energy is hilarious and certain art of him really just hits sometimes man, idk lol being/fucking an evil mf can be fun (also making the rest of the fandom keyboard smash at our memes is a plus)
i 100% unironically love/am horny for elias because evil bastard man is just sexy sometimes what do you want me to say? have you heard his voice? would you begrudge me my horrible taste in men? elias dickchard never did anything good for anyone but himself ever in his entire life and i love him for it, good on him for conquering the world to swerve on death, what an inspiration, i love him and wish him the best
bizarre yet interesting subset of the previous that i have only encountered one (1) time, but it impressed itself so strongly i must share: i don't care what happens to jon or martin. i mean that, honest. i'm happy for elias, marvelous worlding ending bastard he is. i hope he wins. no i am not joking. some of y'all are here only for the admiral? i'm only here for elias. god bless.
pls tag urself i'm 'mostly i just like dunking on him'
I got, of all things and my extremely spiral-esc personality, "Hello Jon...... "
day Too Many of quarantine so i finally gave into my urge to make a uquiz. come on in and find out which ritual you are!
Wwyd if you woke up to this
oh to walk through an apocalypse hand in hand with the love of your life occasionally interacting with pure evil entities and reassuring your darling that yes he is the reason but no you will not kill solely because he is jealous
Writing a Muslim Character
The Mods of the Magnus Writers discord server and community are putting together a variety of resources for Magnus Archives fan creators; these have been collated from articles on the topics, our own experiences, and the experiences of the members of the Magnus Writers discord. These are definitely not comprehensive or the only viewpoints out there, and are by no means meant as a way to police fanworks, but as a way to support and inspire fan creators in creating thoughtful and diverse works. Please note that external links will be added in a reblog to outsmart tumblr’s terrible tagging system, so make sure to check those out as well!
This resource in particular was put together by Mod Jasmine: hi, all!
While there are no canonically Muslim characters in TMA, Muslim headcanons are common in fanworks—particularly for Basira, and sometimes Jon (which I love to see!). I have cobbled together this post from my own experiences to help support and inform fans in these areas, and as part of my diabolical plan to get more Muslim!Basira and Muslim!Jon fics to shove into my brain.
First, two gigantic caveats:
I was raised Sunni Muslim in Egypt, which is a majority Sunni Muslim country, and still live there. This means my experience will be very different from someone raised in a majority Christian country like the UK, and different again if they are not Sunni and not Arab.
I am currently ex-Muslim. This does not mean I bear any ill will towards Islam or Muslims, just that it wasn’t for me, and I felt it was important to be upfront about that. I’ll be linking to resources by practicing Muslims in the reblog to this post, whether to add to my opinions and experiences or provide you with a different opinion. I am not here to put my voice over that of Muslims, just to do some of the work so they don’t have to. Obviously, if any Muslims have any additions or suggestions for this post, I’m happy to accommodate them.
Alright. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get started with the basics of writing a Muslim character.
(Warning: this is absurdly, absurdly long)

Honestly as a blind person I’m so tired of seeing fictional blind characters who don’t use white canes or other guides. “They have special powers so they know what’s around them” or “they’re confident enough to not need a guide” are common tropes, and I’m tired.
Are people scared that using a white cane will make their blind character seem weak? They can’t use a cane because they’re so special that they already know what’s around them, and other blind people who use guides are inferior because they’re not special?
I’m tired. Give your blind characters white canes and other guides. Let them hold onto their friends, let them have guide dogs. Don’t make white cane users feel ostracized for not being “strong enough” to go without.
Another thing that pisses me off is when a sighted character comes up with the fantasy equivalent of braille and teaches it to the blind character. Braille was invented by Louis Braille, a blind man, in 1824. The blind character should be the one coming up with it.
Tldr I’m blind and tired of sighted people lol
🔪 Sighted People MUST Reblog This 🔪
CALL OUT FOR THE “RUSTY QUILL OFFICIAL” SERVER (AND ESPECIALLY ITS MODS)
Our group of roughly 10 or 11 people spent some time in RQO, and in that time, we were made to feel extremely uncomfortable. We had our feelings and concerns dismissed and invalidated. We witnessed harassment, and this space that was HEAVILY populated by children was clearly not being modded by people who cared about the well-being of those children. Our group did not even start out this big. We found more people along the way with similar experiences who helped us collect evidence for this post.
TW for racism, mentions of incest, fatphobia, mentions of age gaps, ableism, antisemitism, transphobia, mentions of pedophilia, RPF, being creepy regarding voice actors, mentions of police brutality, classism, people putting minors in uncomfortable situations, and erasing canon asexuality.
Here it is.

the mother of puppets/the webs ultimate end game plan of informing jon that he is in a podcast and not in control of any of his actions and is subject to control outside of himself and that ultimately none of his thoughts are his own
YES
The Magnus Archives - CAT EDITION
The fear avatars, but it's these cats.
The 15 entities but as cats. Yeah.
My dumb english major brain keeps insisting that there’s Meaningful Symbolism to the fact that Martin, in choosing to sit on the disgusting couch, is choosing to comfort himself by clinging to a relic from the old world (I’ve been walking so I should be tired, the way to solve that problem should be to sit on a couch, because that’s what couches should be for) despite the fact that it’s disgusting and uncomfortable And Jon, who continues to refuse/be unable to disengage from the world as it is, refuses his invitation to join him in this act of comfort/denial even though it puts physical space between them, because he is prioritizing the flaws in what the situation (couch) actually is over what he thinks he should be able to get out of it, and also because it’s super gross. So the interaction becomes a microcosm of their conflict all season: Martin engaging in denial for comfort even if it ultimately makes the situation a little bit worse, and Jon finally setting a boundary by refusing to follow him. Jon said that you can’t trust comfort at the beginning of the season, and he continues to act according to that even as Martin tries to find ways around it–something that might just come to a head when they encounter Daisy and Basira, and Martin attempts to connect to the comfort of a friendship that is no longer safe. Or, you know. Maybe it’s just a gross couch.
Yikes!
It threw me off so bad yesterday when I listened for the first time, but I love the emotional spiciness of a circumstance where you can’t show fear without attracting more Hunters, even if your most loved one is in danger.
The mechanics of “Trevor can’t actually kill Martin as long as Trevor is Prey, but if Jon or Martin show too much fear he can turn Hunter again and WILL have the power to kill him”?? Jon hoping that he would be the one taken hostage, because it would be so much easier to remain calm with his own life threatened than have to pretend he’s not upset over Martin’s in danger? Emotionally Repress or Die scenario?? FUCK

might fuck around and read a 500 page physical published book in one sitting like it’s 2006 and I’m being bullied in middle school so I take refuge in the library and inhale books at a frightening speed that I have not been able to replicate since
say his name. no justice, no peace.
welcome to the spinning frog post
This is so good!
Can I just say I am in LOVE with the Teacher Jon AU. Just,, imagine the absolutely ABSURD things his students could find out about him. Imagine the shenanigans.
Love thinking about the bizarre answers he could give to their questions
“Mr. Sims how did you burn your hand?” “Let’s just say I shook hands with someone who had a very firm grip.”
“How did you get all those weird holey scars?“ “…worms.”
“What was it like working at that Magnus place?” *small smile* “Hell. Anyway back to the lesson-”
“Did you know you were a suspect in a murder?” “I was aware, yes.” “And..did you kill someone?” “I mean, I didn’t kill her.”
And I know people have talked about this before but think how hilarious it would be for both his friends & the avatars to have a blast bugging him at school.
Martin shows up all the time of course, all the students love him. He’s on the pta even though he doesn’t have a kid there. Everyone is a little confused though since he seems so nice and normal when Jon is so…not
Daisy will come by to pick him up sometimes, the kids are mostly scared of her but think she’s really cool. Everyone is confused as to how this tall strong butch lady is bffs with their tiny stick-thin English teacher but it’s amusing all the same.
Melanie and Georgie found out early on that bugging Jon at work annoys him so they come all the time and think it’s HILARIOUS. All the students who are What the Ghost fans freak out. They love telling students New Mysterious Facts about Jon that makes them even more curious about him
Helen will pop in out of nowhere and Jon just facepalms like “what are YOU doing here” “oh, you know, just checking up on you!!” she makes a lot of jokes and probably scares some of the students and has a great time
Oliver randomly shows up one day, sticks his head in like ‘oh hey Jon what’s up’ says some vaguely ominous things, and leaves. Jon is very confused. He came because Helen payed him fifty bucks to do so
Are there any other like. Living avatars?? I can’t think of any, that is sad
And lastly can we just appreciate the random weird things Jon would do that would confuse his students. Like.
They come in to class one day to find him ferociously batting away ceiling cobwebs with his broom, muttering ‘damned spiders..not TODAY web….you hear me annabelle?? Not on my WATCH’ they are all a little disturbed and Jon is even more mortified that they saw.
If he still has his Beholding powers after the apocalypse then he can A) automatically know when someone is cheating and B) know things about his students that he definitely shouldn’t know. Sometimes it works in their favor, sometimes it doesn’t
Sometimes he just makes offhand comments that are totally bizarre? Like one of his students will say “dont take this the wrong way but you’re really weird, Mr. Sims” and he’ll be like “Oh you think I’M weird, you should meet some of the other people I know.” and one of the kids will ask “…like who?” and he’ll just count off on his fingers “ohh met an undead goth once, couple of vampire hunters, Jared Hopworth was quite a character. Still mad I gave him two of my ribs. Anyway, our lesson for today is about-” and he’ll just say it all with a completely straight face!! And all his students are very very confused
When they’re analyzing a character from literature or idk something like that, Jon will sometimes be like “oh that reminds me of this guy I knew” and proceed to say something so wacky that everyone thinks he must be making it up (but who really knows at this point.) He’ll say “ah yes, people will believe the craziest things. I knew a woman once who thought her purpose in life was to kill the sun” and no one will say anything because what are you supposed to say to that??
He gives the weirdest advice too. After the bell rings when everyone is leaving class he’ll be like “and remember, don’t trust deliverymen” or “never go through a door that wasn’t there before!” or “don’t ever ever listen to a singing wasps nest.” all his students are just like “okay Mr. Sims whatever you say”
Someone asks “oh who’s the guy in the picture on your desk?” And Jon will say “oh that was my friend Tim, sadly he died trying to blow up a bunch of clowns” and the kid will just be like. “okay Mr. Sims” because who KNOWS at this point
This was super super long but. Teacher Jon AU guys
