#but i also love melanie

[go-to-the-mirror]

If Melanie, Basira, or Daisy had been in Jon's position, you would not have demanded kindness from people who were personally victimised by them.

Melanie, Basira, and Daisy, all gave statements, they all had to deal with him in their mind, watching their worst nightmares. If Melanie was there, being confronted about hurting random people, you would not have demanded Jon show sympathy for her.

I think, maybe I'm running in the wrong Magnus circles, but people forget that Jon had a choice, that was very much the point of MAG 147. Jon had a choice in hurting people. Jon chose to hurt people, yes it was influenced, yes it probably would've been more helpful if they were a bit nicer to him, but they're not infallible, and they're not neutral in this situation, because Jon has hurt all of them in the same way they found out he was hurting others.

So, frankly, cut the women some slack.

A tiny look into one of the fics called It's My Party (And I'll Cry If I Want To)!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Why don’t you just tell them?” Jazz asks Danny once she sits down on his bed, pushing aside his blankets and patting beside her.

“Mom and Dad love you, metagene or not.” She continues.

“Seriously, Jazz, we’ve been over this.” Danny sighs, sitting next to his sister as she turns to face him better, “They hate ghosts, and have threatened to rip phantom apart molecule by molecule. If they’re willing to do that, then what makes you think they’ll stop once they find out their son is a ghost?”

Jazz frowns, “Danny, I know the accident was terrible and horrifying for you, but you’re not a ghost. You need to accept the fact that it simply activated your dormant metagene and gave you ghost adjacent powers.”

“How can I have a metagene when both mom and dad don’t have one! Jazz, I know you don’t want to believe it but-“

“No Danny,” Jazz exclaims as she cuts him off, “ You’re alive. You can’t be a ghost, because ghosts are unfeeling and-“

“Jazz, just stop!” Danny yells, slightly teary. He stands up off the bed, putting some place between him and Jazz as she also stands up with a deepening frown.

“I know you don’t want to believe it but I am a ghost, I died in that accident. I know you don’t want to believe it, but if I can somehow come to terms with it then why can’t you?”

Jazz just stares him down with her disappointed stare. After a few quiet seconds she then sighs, looking exasperated and somehow even more disappointed as she levels him with a harsh glare.

“Even Sam and Tuck agree, Danny. You’re going to far with this ghost thing! I don’t care what that yeti says, or any of those other creatures! You’re not dead. You have a heartbeat and most importantly, you care. You’re not evil, and all this death talk is beginning to freak Tucker out!  And you especially need to stop around Sam. They’ve begun talking to me about it, and about how you’re scaring them. And, well, we’ve all agree that you need to stop fighting those ghosts. Mom and Dad are perfectly capable of getting them, so from now on you’re benched. Those horrible things have been filling your head with lies, and it’s becoming a problem.”

Jazz declares before she walks out, keeping that awful disappointed glare on him.

Danny slams the door behind her, silently seething and holding back tears. They talk about his death so easily! Yet they don’t care to acknowledge it. Danny died, whether they want to accept it or not, and there was nothing they could do about it.

#the small excerpt! #dc x dp #danny phantom #i might post more parts #not sure yet #but the angst i could do! #like I love jazz but #the stories i've read where danny's friends and family just #dont accept that he is dead? #and adding dc means the meta gene!! #maybe i just want to make danny suffer #give him the worst experience and then add fluff later #It's My Party (And I'll Cry If I Want To) #also yes melanie martinez themed title!

My District 13 au

Coryo and Lucy Gray fled in this AU and ended up in district 13. Despite being safe and Coryo rose to power eventually in 13, they both hated it there. The place is no way to live a life. They made improvements but a pox outbreak happened and their son nearly dying had her husband later fully joined 13 to the rebellion. Coryo then was "elected" as President of Panem (she knows) and they moved to the Capitol and her last two children were born and grew up in the Capitol. Having raised children in district 13 where everything is surveillanced and under tight control especially before Coryo's presidency, they raised their children to trust family first and never lie to them ("lies can get you killed").

Lucy Gray is not exactly strict to her children aside from the "no lie" rule so her children gets a way with almost everything. Their shenanigans(especially Orpheus Sage's and Thalia Rose's) will never get them disowned or taken out of the will by Coryo because there will be hell to pay if he does.

The Lady of the Underground

The lady of ways, the lady of means

The lady of the upside down

People usually go to Lucy Gray first when they want her husband to approve something. They catch on that if they get Lucy Gray on their side, Coryo is more likely to accept their request or proposals.

In district 13, of course she'll find ways and loop holes to laws and rules to get what she wants (mostly to sing and for pretty things). She'd sew her clothes, make flowers out of the leftover pieces of cloth, scraps and other items she can turn to trinkets. She'd style her dull jump suit, anything really to give life to that man hole of a district

In district 13 she goes by Melanie Ebony Thorne

Here is early 50s Lucy Gray with her feather shawl. You cannot tell me Lucy Gray in the Capitol would not enjoy the over the top make up and fashion.

Lucy Gray here is singing Lady Of the Underground from Hadestown

#snowbaird #lucy gray baird #coriolanus snow #district 13 au #Lucy Gray loves make up and pretty dress #she's probably why future Capitol fashion is that way #Lucy Gray is as cunning as Coriolanus and a great cold reader #Her alias is Melanie is because I love Hadestown and Persephone and Hades #Melanie means darkness but it is also referenced to the myth of Persephone and how Demeter mourn for her daughter to come to the surface #Tbosas #If you think she won't participate or even the one to start fashion trends along with Tigris in the Capitiol YOU ARE WRONG #Youtube #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #Snowbaird au

[nerdetiquette]

Idk if this is a hot take or anything but I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that Jon didn’t have any friends (besides Martin) basically the entire series.

Sasha was nice enough but she was strictly professional. Tim was reasonable in the beginning and I like to believe they were friends but honestly he’s pretty wary of Jon s1. Melanie hated Jon the whole way through. Georgie was there for a bit before things got too messy, but the way she treats him s5 is like a time bomb. Basira treated Jon like a stove with a broken gas release, and Daisy, my god Daisy. I could go on and on about their relationship but it was really clear after the trauma she inflicted on Jon he could never truly trust her.

They all feed into the theme of Jon’s inhumanity, but I remember listening and being confused because I always saw ppl treating this like a found family when they never were.

#4 am podcast analysis #i’m not projecting you’re projecting #Jon’s inhumanity is a very interesting topic to me #it makes me very sad because Jon tries so hard #definitely not projecting #but also this is why Basira is probably my least favorite #I love her I do but she really treated jon more like a chess piece or a child she had to keep in check #web Basira????? #I should look that up in the morning #the magnus archives #jonathan sims #martin blackwood #tim stoker #sasha james #melanie king #basira hussain #daisy tonner #georgie barker #on found family #amazingly the silt verses feels more like found family and one of them was literally kidnapped

Oh dearest saintbleeding u r so lovely and if I could look up on ur jmart laughing together and perhaps sitting Too Close in a flirtatious way I would be so happy and fortunate

[ID: Three panel comic of Jon, Martin, Melanie, and Tim from TMA. Jon is tall and thin with a moustache, receding hairline, glasses, and walking cane; Martin is shorter and fat with freckles and glasses; Melanie is short and thin with long hair in a chignon; and Tim is tall and stocky with a moustache. In the first panel, Jon and Martin stand staring down at something offscreen with looks of concentration as Martin speaks. A speech bubble says “[salient observations &c.]”. In the second panel, Jon and Martin look at each other, both smiling. In the third panel, Melanie and Tim trade silent, quizzical looks, surrounded by question marks with a Baker pride flag between them. End ID.]

[go-fornicate-yourself]

the cast of the magnus archives is great I love them! I also despise most of them too

Like Tim Stoker. I love him, he’s my little guy, I sympathise with him. I also think he’s a massive prick and I’d more than willingly kick his ass

Daisy. I love her, she’s such a badass and I love her character arc. I just hate her guts at the same time. Maybe a little less since she’s one of the only characters to realize her shitty behavior sucks and actually owns up to it more or less.

Melanie. She’s so likable, I really empathise with her anger towards feeling trapped, she’s also quite a humorous character. I also hate how she takes her anger out on Jon for things he had literally no control over and would throw a vase at her.

Basira. Basira’s such an interesting character and I love her development and story throughout the entire podcast. She’s such a badass. She’s also an utter bitch that doesn’t get nearly enough shit for being absolutely awful to almost everyone around her (mainly Jon, Melanie, and Daisy). I have a deep hatred for her and if I ever met her I’d launch myself at her and try to rip her throat at with my own teeth.

Jonah. He’s so cool and amoral. He’s a truly fascinating character that’s hard to see as anything but just another human being albeit with dubious morals and a long lifespan. That being said, I’d also love to stab the shit out of him.

I love these characters and I also have a deep resentment towards them and I think that’s cool and that it shows how complex they are as characters.

height chart/character sheet for all of the main tma cast feat. my headcanons (and misconceptions about canon desc. O_O) of them

and an extra georgie <3

#if you havent seen my melanie post i was for some reason convinced that melanie was a canonical black woman #and that she was described as a ''shorter black woman with short curly hair'' which is smth that never happened lol #so thats the misconception that influenced melanie's design #but also i like how her being a black woman adds to her whole character of ''someone passed over and dismissed and met with hostility- #-before she can even show others what kind of person she is'' #anyways heights bc thats why i made this: #daisy and tim: around 5'8 #jon and melanie: around 5'1 #martin: around 6' #basira and georgie: around 5'11 #martin: 6' #sasha and elias: around 6'5 #im not v good with heights bc i myself and very small.... but i tried to make it make sense #i love georgie she is literally everything to me <3 #everyone else is in everyday attire and georgies just chilling in her pyjamas. im in love with her #i wanted to put gertrude and helen on here too but i didnt have time :( #tma #the magnus archives #jonathan sims #martin blackwood #timothy stoker #sasha james #elias bouchard #melanie king #basira hussain #daisy tonner #🤢 sorry i dont like her #georgie barker #my art

[mongeese]

I don’t think Melanie King did anything wrong, I think if a woman wants to lose herself in her own rage and violence and start stabbing people that should be her right

#THIS IS A JOKE. I AM MAKING A JOKE #need that disclaimer bc some people on here cannot comprehend that sometimes u say things u dont mean to be funny #i am capable of understanding and analyzing the text i promise. i just also love it when women get angry and violent #the magnus archives #tma #melanie king

Jonmelanie would communicate near exclusively in arguing and nobody would find out that they were dating for three years.

#everybody who has to be in the same room as them takes 2d6 psychic damage per round #they’re ride or die but they also butt heads all the time so everyone thinks they hate each other even after they learn that they’re dating #s1 era or au it’d be fun bickerflirting that nobody else picks up on #s2 there’d be more bite to it in a way that made everyone uncomfortable but if anyone said anything jonmelanie would join forces to yell at #whoever was brave enough to say anything #s3 they care so much but there’s so much baggage and they’re so similar. they repel each other like identical poles of a magnet #but everything is so horrible and changing so fast that they can’t let go either #s4 and they still never let go but melanie had to anyway #they’re barely on speaking terms but it’s so obvious the love isn’t gone #i think it ends when melanie gouges out her eyes #it just can’t work after that. #but even then they never stop loving wach other. maybe they can have a Moment (TM) during the eyepocalypse #jonmelanie isn’t always my fave jonship but sometimes it tickles my fancy #jonmelanie #jonshipping #jonathan sims #jon sims #tma #the magnus archives
