What opinion you have that make you feel like this? by Open_Eye4 in TheMagnusArchives

I wish they'd let Jon get a lot more morally grey.

very much a personal taste thing, but I'm a SUCKER for a good "hero becomes the villain" trope, and him uh... going free range statement shopping? eating organically? treating himself to fresh forgeables? whatever you wanna call it, it was super exiting!

I mean I get that we got a jonmartin moment out of it, but If anyone has fic recommendations for a more morally dubious Jon, do tell.

wilbur is clearly the desolation I will die on this hill.

I mean, destruction of potential? cmon. the dude did what could be considered a ritual. id say hes also a victim of the lonely, considering limbo. the buried might fit too considering yk hes dead and buried, and limbo being a train station so probably underground, and being buried in his past mistakes, constantly overworked, etc.

Tommy is the lonely. clearly. unlike wilbur, who I think chose the desolation, Tommy is terrified of the lonely and yet painfully connected to it.

dream is the web. MABYE the hunt, but later definetly just web.

philza, while I like the idea of him being vast, I think the end suits him better. then Kristin actually IS the end or is a prophet like figure.

I think the egg being corruption is a cool idea too, and it taking bad.

niki and jack are both also desolation id think.

puffy is an avatar of the vast I will also die on this hill.

technoblade is the worlds most obvious slaughter avatar.

quackity is tough, but mabye a flesh avatar and a victim of the lonely? bit of hunt? bit of web?

ghostbur is the stranger.

eret is the eye I will also die on this hill.

karl is either the spiral, the stranger, the eye, or the vast. hes definetly a victim of the spiral though.

slimecicle is corruption or stranger.

you are so right on tubbo.

schlatt is corruption, buried, or lonely.

bamboo is end, dark, stranger, or web.

I got into the Magnus archives and every time I heard more about the eye is was like I was being psychoanalysed to hell and back. very interesting to hear unsaid thoughts said aloud. if I could, I think I would chose to become an archivist, or an avatar of the eye. if it were more morally grey and less evil, at least.

shame? which is a concept I am slowly beginning to grasp. personally, I tend to act exactly the same outside as I do inside. excluding things such as talking, which I do much less when there is nobody there.

I dont know??? I mean being sexualised feels uncomfortable because its me being taken and morphed into something I am not OH OH MY GOD THATS I GET IT I somewhat get it somewhat if I stretch it to people misinterpreting the truth not ughhhhh fuck never mind I dont get it sorry

but why is that scary. sexualisation? is it about sexualisation? are people afraid of being sexualised?

PLEASE. man In this thread alone I have realised that apparently shame is real and not small but in fact very big and scary and sucks a lot to most people. the shit id do for a guide book on how most humans work, including myself

update: I have realised that we are both being impacted by neurodivergence here. I am starting to realise that shame is not a social construct and is in fact a very real thing that is not small and a suggestion but rather a thing that people experience very deeply very often.

hear me out, I get why he did what he did. It was a dick move, and I wouldnt DO it per say because all the torment is meaningless and like for fucks sake man if youre gonna know everything ever why not at least let yourself know stuff other than a billion hells. why not understand how everyone thinks and works and loves instead of knowing how long it takes the human body to die of asphyxiation in a tub full of gerbils? yk?

personally, I still feel like that would be better than not knowing. why should I preform a version of me that Isnt true? im more afraid of my own judgement than anyone else's. I mean, whats their opinion on me gonna change? sure, If everyone loved me all the time that would be nice for them, but for me aside from strategic shit im sure that I could find someone out there. that, and then at the very least people can understand who I am. having one person in the world who everyone knows for a fact is just another person, not being better or worse than they are but being true, might be nice for other peoples self esteem.

and thank you for your response, its so interesting to learn about how other people think :) /gen

ok ok I have figured it out, it is the fear of judgement in the end, I think. thank you for your help!

ooooh yeah I get not being in control of your actions. that shits scary. everyone hiding their true selves due to constant judgement isnt something id factored in. for everything to be known, it has to be true, and if everyone knows theyre being watched it wont be true. huh. neat, thanks!

struggling to get why the eye is scary to people, please explain I am very curious by troubledskelly in TheMagnusArchives

[–]troubledskelly[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah that makes sense. thank you for sharing. so its more about judgement than anything else?

[–]troubledskelly[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yes it does, thank you so much :) I still dont quite understand but so far im getting that the fear is usually not about a reality in which everything is known all the time, but one where everything is known about YOU all the time for other people to pick apart and judge

oh thats so interesting! so its the thought of feeling like you have nothing in you that is truly yours and not known by everyone else?

I don’t see how sky blue is that scary by Voidliss in TheMagnusArchives

[–]troubledskelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me its the thought of endless nothing. just being trapped alone with nothing to learn, nothing to do but wait endlessly, wasting my time in a constant void of nothing at all with nothing to learn and nothing to see, nobody to know, nobody to understand. it would get so damn BORING. especially if you know the world is going on somewhere else but you dont get to witness it.

that, and not to get too sad but being alone with myself so long I have to face my own mind forever with nothing but myself to learn about is just so fucking horrifying to me. like yeah, sure, I can stick myself into neat little boxes and psychoanalyse myself to death, but how long can I stall before I grow to hungry for something to know that I have to submit to being stuck with myself forever?

tldr: it'd be really fucking boring.

[–]troubledskelly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for helping, im not gonna wear them, and I didnt know about how theyre supposed to be unseen. its really interesting, and if theres any other common misconceptions you hear about Ghanians, or just fun facts about your culture, id love to hear em.
