[annabelle--cane]

he was engaged to a beetle. he wasn't even being scary or anything, he was just mildly gross and engaged to a beetle. he was a step dad to all her beetle children. she made him so so happy and they had wedding invitations printed and everything. benoît maçon and his petit scarabée did nothing wrong and then his annoying coworker came in and spoiled it all because he's beetlephobic.

MAG 102: "Statement of François Deschamps, regarding the family and presumed marriage of Benoît Maçon."

Description is a little vague but it's this one where this guy finds love with this amazing woman and oh my good she's a bunch of beetles in a trenchcoat.

MAG 191: "Continued interactions with various survivors, recorded on location."

Basically Martin and Jon find the cult Georgie and Melanie are in.

i am once again thinking about mag 141/142/146

He goes to the supermarket because Basira sounded tired when she said she was going and he offered to instead. He takes her list and adds a couple of items and set off—he has a real reason to leave. It wasn’t an excuse.

 —

The cleaner loses his job a few days later, the second time he freezes in the aisle after the fluorescent light flickers and it’s just the same and the shelves go on forever and at the end of it a man is watching him. He can’t pay his share of the rent. He has to move back in with his parents who do not call him their son, or by his name.

 —

It doesn’t feel like hunger. It feels like restless curiosity. Needing to know… something. Not being sure what he needs. When he goes for a walk to clear his head (to move, without moving his bleeding shoulder) he thinks it’s just that. He doesn’t know what will make the vague fog break to clear certainty. He could have guessed, but he really truly didn’t have a way of knowing.

 —

She used to be able to forget about it. Once a year, every year—she could push it away, almost all of the time. Now it seeps into every day, a stain spreading out greyly over her life.

 —

He knows, and doesn’t know, and guesses, and represses it, what the price will be if he does get Daisy back out. He knows what he’s doing, and pretends he doesn’t, when he leaves her and Basira their privacy. It’s not like it’s as bad as the Buried, he tells himself. It’ll be good to get the dirt out of his clothes.

 —

The man reminds him of Martin, a bit, though more of Benoît Maçon. He notes the comparisons abstractly. He doesn’t seem to be a very pleasant man; it’s understandable that humans avoid him.

 —

He knows exactly what he’s doing when he leaves the Institute for lunch. He knows before he leaves what he’s going to do. He knows how he’s feeling that morning, when his dreams haven’t settled it, and he knows what he n-he needs-he want-what he always does.

He goes to the nice cafe next to the Pinnacle, and he sits down, and he waits. He waits for Jessica Claire Tyrell to arrive. He waits for Garrett Taylor Brown to arrive. He watches Jessica Claire Tyrell through her entire date with Garrett Brown telling himself that he’s waiting for her to leave so he can stand up and walk away without risking the motion breaking his resistance. He watches Jessica Claire Tyrell through her entire date with Garrett Taylor Brown to leave so he doesn’t have to deal with an inconvenient witness. He waits for Garrett Taylor Brown to leave, stands up, and walks up behind Jess Tyrell.

She turns around.

 —

She doesn’t blame him for being in her dreams. She can’t. That would be absurd. It’s her brain. It’s her problem. It’s her fault.

 —

He’s not even injured, when he tells Basira to take the other boat. He doesn’t even feel bad, just—he doesn’t think about it. He doesn’t think about how to handle Basira. He doesn’t bother. He doesn’t need to. It’s fine.

 —

The next time he sees Floyd Ravi Matharu – the first time Floyd sees him as the flickering figure in the corner of his eye – is that evening, as dusk falls, as the ship shudders in the waves.

inconsequential i know but it irks me so much that people insist that benoît maçon married a giant bug

he didn't marry a giant bug. his dearly beloved was an infestation. a massive swarm of bugs. a crawling rot made of their children, their graveyards, their breeding grounds, and their varied excretions.

she was so much more and so much worse than a giant bug

#[🪳]mine #mag 102 #[c] 🪲 #'mon petit scarabee' was just his pet name for her!!!

[milfmoiraine]

ngl Benoît Maçon was just living his life happily with his bug wife and bug children. They should have just let him carry on

[best-magnus-archives-character]

Closed the nomination form! I made a list with all nominations by category! I'll accept suggestions of stuff to move around (change a character from minor to one of the other lists, but not the other way around cause the minor list is long enough). The Main Character list is a bit awkward with 18 characters, but I'm not really willing to move any away from it even if people might disagree? Unless I see a very strong argument.

the only nominations that didn't get in were the artifacts, since people voted for those to have their own poll later on!

Avatar theory because why not:

So I’ve been thinking about what separates a person who’s been marked from an Avatar. 

I initially thought it had to do with a certain personality or aptitude: if you’re the sort of person who holds a love or obsession with a part of your Entity’s domain you can become a part of it rather than be consumed by it.

But at the same time that feels wrong. There are Avatars who were once wholly repulsed by their Entity (Jane Prentiss, Oliver Banks) and marked who fell in love with them (Jan Kilbride, Benoît Maçon)

I don’t think fascination is the dividing factor, but I do think it helps.

Rather I’ve settled on what in hindsight seems obvious: the choice to take your fear and externalize it.

Where marked simply die or live in suffering, Avatars choose to delay their passing by giving their Entity someone to feed on in their place. A Sacrifice if you will. 

The powers and physical changes are just the result of an extended period of being marked. 

As always it’s about fear. The only thing that keeps an avatar from being victim is the wall of bodies they build between them and what eats them.
