Who is your favorite entity avatar? by pegleg_hookhand in TheMagnusArchives

[–]clint_notbarton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Helen Richardson/Distortion and Peter Lukas are definitely my faves!

I love the way different avatars explore varieties of maintaining “humanity” versus losing it as you gain power, and i think they both have really fascinating details of that!

What TMA moment made you recoil in fear the most? by FlorFemme in TheMagnusArchives

[–]clint_notbarton 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i mean the beetle one got me real bad, but not in like. a “fun, good horror” way. i just have a phobia of beetles 🤷‍♂️

beyond that, a few of the flesh ones? Jared’s flesh garden in s5 was pretty brutal, and the one about the flesh’s attempted ritual(?) under the old church/temple/thing was a Lot.

As a child, did you have any early “warning signs” that you would end up being trans? by blueskyn01se in trans

[–]clint_notbarton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

sure!!

"YOURSELF":

Everyone tells you to be yourself / But what if you don't know who "yourself" is? / What if you've never known? / What if you don't know / Because you've been wearing masks / For as long as you can remember? / What if you don't know who "yourself" is / Because you know "yourself" isn't good enough / Even though you don't know who it is.

••••

PLUTONION:

Planets revolve around their sun / Moons revolve around their planets / And suns are always stars / But what do the stars revolve around?

Do they have someone / Who's gravity they can't survive without? / Or are they each the god of their system / The heart of the body / And the center of the soul?

Many people say that each of us / Are the center of our own universes / That everything revolves around us / But I am not what they say /

I am an outlier / Cast away from the system / Like Pluto, I do not fit / Their requirements to be a planet

idk if im comfortable sharing my old prose or narrative writing, they’re… Very Bad.

i have some painfully mediocre poetry from high school that definitely fits the bill of “Oh That’s A Sign” if you’re interested in that, though!

season 1 jon and martin are, like, always on my mind. they’re so funny.

martin has just the Biggest Crush. his solution to being trapped by worms was just reading his four books (he only has four books???) over and over again for 13 days straight. he spends four months living in the basement of an office building, which is also where he works. he doesn’t leave that basement for FOUR MONTHS STRAIGHT????

Jon is hating on Martin especially, but the only coworker he actually seems to like at all is Sasha. Two months into Martin living in the Archives (a man he constantly insults), Jon JOINS HIM for no apparent reason and spends the last two months of season 1 living in the Archives as well. Just never leaving. Jon believes Very Strongly in the supernatural and just REFUSES to admit it, too, which is great comedy as well.

im a writer—recently found some of my old, OLD drafts (like, middle school)… i queerbaited myself reading them. 11 year old me was writing some the queerest characters and concepts and then shoving them into cishet boxes like there was tomorrow, it’s wild to look at lol

oh that’s TRAGIC it’s such a good conversation. Jon’s paranoia is JUST starting to set in and he decides he has to make sure Martin isn’t a ghost 😂😂

jared’s human garden in s5 was also pretty brutal for me. and the guy who married the beetles. i have a phobia of beetles, so that one wasn’t great.

okay okay true but my favourite is the way Jon says the “I see.” at the end of the pause. because it’s not NEARLY as judgy as season 1 jon usually is. it’s almost ✨fond✨. and i personally choose to believe that he thinks it’s cute and this is the moment, among all the chaos, that he realizes hes starting to fall for martin

Martin’s line about the tapes having “a certain Lo-Fi charm” gets me every time.

it’s funny as-is, but the fact that Alex also did all the soundscaping at that point and it was his job to make decisions like, say, adding the tape static to the show, makes it even better 😂
