i need gwendolyn and (original) elias bouchard to be siblings/twins SO bad. i know it doesn’t make sense. i know it literally defies different universe logic and everything about the way that we’ve been introduced to tmagp. i also don’t care. i need it

#‘OP is this bc you’re a sibling? you’re a twin? fraternal girl/boy (at birth)?’ UMMM NO HAHA! WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAY HAHA! #CERTAINLY NOT!!! /J #no im Sorry because Like. imagine. gwen just has this brother who up and basically disappeared one day. almost became . Someone Else . #he didn’t Talk the same anymore. didn’t smoke or joke or laugh like he used to. just worked all the time. [danny stoker looms in distance] #‘grow up theyre prolly just distant relatives or its a coincidence’ FUCK you. theyre twins to me. gwen was too close to og elias so she got- #universe swapped.

The Mina thing is annoying, but it's interesting that

1) Van Helsing says to keep Mina out of it right after saying it's like she has "the brain of a man" an was put on Earth with a purpose, which... is kinda weird

2) Mina herself thinks it's a bad idea to keep her out of it, and accepts it bitterly (when she fits the idea of a perfect woman, so you'd expect her to not have any issues with it)

3) She even says she fears that if the men find her bothersome, they'll leave her out entirely

Maybe I get too hopeful, but I think Bram Stoker himself finds it dumb to keep her out of the loop, and we're closer to a "real bad decision" moment than a "good decision that still doesn't stop evil" moment

#dracula daily #now dont make me say what i didnt say #im talking about leaving MINA out of it not that leaving a woman out of the loop to rotect her in general is bad #(ofc its bad im talking stoker's pov) #like maybe actually stoker found the idea dumb in general but i do not know the man's personal belief so i can only talk for mina

fiveverse: a decision is made in the tunnels

#the heart #tma #the magnus archives #timothy stoker #jonathan sims #jontim #fiveverse #i like over the shoulder angles and when tim is blocking off jons body with his. its personal to me #also i forgot jon has greys canonically!!! compensating here. imagine he had them in that other comic #anyways for serious i think tim would be 100% on board with jon's idea from the start #judging from how he blew himself up in the unknowing as a fuck you to stranger hed understand #and i think finding out the ritual wouldve failed whether or not theyd intervened and stopping it barely even hurt it... he'd be so pissed #in jon killing the fears hed see the end of any possibility anyone as unlucky as them would have to suffer like they did. #and killing the fears would be so cathartic #even though the way they'd have to do it is incredibly grim and awful.. in this verse im going to say their arcs really culminate in their #worst traits kind of propelling them forward into this decision it's like a negative character arc for sure #also though it's a tough decision. idk how i would've handled it personally #anyways though yeah. let the two guys with martyr complexes figure this out im sure theyll take the option thatll hurt them the least #melanie should've hit them with a steel chair #now neither of them could even leave the panopticon for her to put down #and kind of related but don't even get me started on the orpheus and eurydicing these two get up to.

Back with my tma x finnish song nonsense.

Tim & Sasha + me ei olla enää me by SANNI

I've learned from the last post that I should probably provide context or at least some kind of explanation with these.,

It just fits the whole thing with Sasha getting replaced sooo well . Song name translates roughly to "we're no longer us" . My translations aren't the best sorry lol

I'm just gonna provide a few lines translated to english to show how well this fits them <33

"I'm looking at you, you look the same. But there's something new in your voice."

"When you leave, I won't follow anymore."

"You can walk me home but I won't let you in anymore."

"I'm looking at you, you look the same. Even if I don't know you anymore"

I mean cmon now this is SO them . Apologies if the translations are a bit bad I'm trying my best over here (lying)

#tma #the magnus archives #tim stoker #sasha james #this is SO them #Nobody can tell me this doesnt fit them perfectly #go look up the full song translated or just listen to it #its like 4 am and im going insane abt this

a few months ago i asked my dad something like "hey did you watch the sopranos back then?" because when i was watching twin peaks i was surprised he had apparently followed the show on tv for a while and all he had to say was "no my free time was dedicated to raising you not watching tv" and i replied "ok but like you could watch it after i went to sleep or something maybe?" and i remember him so vividly saying "only breaking bad and documentaries are worth staying up" okay old man yet another man in his 60s who can't get over jesse...

#its one of the reasons why i stay away from watching tbh. i want to watch it with him (or at least some eps) bc i think #it could be his thing #we watched severance & s2 of supernatural together. he watched true detective on his own and i think if i watch #more seasons of tt it might be with him bc hes curious to see what jodie is up to #but tldr im really curious about sopranos. been reading about it and its impact on modern tv for ages #but it was edits of it to stoker & succ what dragged me in for good #log

#call me tim stoker the way im not actually fired ig??? #mossy speaks #personal #its just wild bro gbsjwhsjs it's so much. i need to sleep for a week to recover #exhausting experience. where am i

[cyeayt]

Passing on @mapleejay’s love for Tim to you to talk about. Amaze my buddy with your Thoughts <3

I have so much to say about Tim my blorbo of all time I think of him near constantly but a kinda new rhetoric I’ve been thinking in lately is Tim and Trust. disclaimer this is shot through with so many hcs but yeah

I think that Tim struggled a lot when he was younger to get people to take him seriously or to trust him to get jobs done, which is a really sucky feeling especially cause young tim was probably genuinely silly and liked making jokes but it only hurt his attempts to be seen as more than the clowny problem child. i also think hes had anger issues his whole life which cannot have helped.

which brings us to danny. i ascribe to a very 'head in the lions mouth' type view of tims family, that being that their parents dont really trust tim and see him as a bad influence on danny, but that the two brothers had a very strong relationship and bond despite and even because of that. i think that Danny was sort of the first person to really actually trust Tim, to see his as a stable and reliable presence, or even just to really care about the whole of him as a person.

and in Tim's view, he failed his brother, betrayed his trust by letting him die (inaccurate but tell me Tim doesn't think this). in a once again very htlm way, tim was left without support afterwards. his exit from his publishing job was likely messy, his anger and grief going beyond the accepted boundaries. i also think that he was probably considered a suspect in dannys disappearance, which, once again, belies a lack of trust in him as a person but also a lack of trust in him as a big brother.

i think he was in a really bad place before the institute. i hc him as having so many different issues during that time, but essentially having given up and not seeing the point in continuing... until he latched onto this idea of avenging his brother, which became a fixation in his mind.

i see an image of him interviewing at the institute, hair freshly cut and wearing a button up for the first time in months, stiff and out of practice with his charm but its not like there's anyone whos stuck around long enough to be able to tell.

and heres where jon and sasha come in. now, i dont really think any of them trusted each other with everything, maybe not even significant. but the potential was there. they did good work together, and jon trusted him or at least his research enough to bring him to the archives

im pretty sure he was gutted when jon suspected him,

and then no one trusted him to know about the unknowing or to be able to help and they saw him as this unstable wild card,

and it just drives me insane uughhhhh

last little ramble, he also to me kinda embodies this vibe of like, being upset when people dont trust you but then failing to hold trust you're given? its a really awful feeling, like everyone was right when they said you couldnt handle it, and you wanted to prove them wrong so bad but you failed anyway.

i half hc/half remember that part of the not-them horror for the people who dont remember the person is a sort of uncanny low level torment where its like you dont know them anymore or never knew them at all? and so tim would have felt like he was losing sasha at that time too?

#this is far less articulate than i wanted it to be for having spend a week on it #also currently in the middle of my first relisten and its been a year so forgive any inaccuracies pls #although once again this is very headcannony #tma #the magnus archives #tim stoker #timothy stoker #the stranger #im projecting so hard this is actually just whats wrong with me im sorryyyyyy #adhd

[fox-guardian]

If you're still interested about talking about your aus, do you have an idea on how it would end?

Also, what's a moment in either of them that you really like?

Both the stoker swap au and the mallow family au are fix-its, so they both have happy endings!

For stoker swap, I'm not sure the specifics but I figure it would probably end around the end of season 3?? Or halfway through season 4, as far as the usual events go. And for mallow family, it would be a much less plot-heavy thing and more "cat immunity keeps all the horrors at bay, everyone just vibes with cats and jmart fall in love early"

I don't have many scenes or anything for the mallow family au, but my fav idea rn is Ms. Mallow trying to drag Martin around and calling to him like he's a kitten. He is her giant human son, she has to care for him.

But for stoker swap my current favorite bit is from this scene in which Jon and Danny are doing field work and Jon has sent Danny up into a (normal) spider-filled attic. (for context, he's on a ladder leading up into the attic's trapdoor):

“Can you go any further up without getting…. covered?” Jon asked.

Danny looked around. There was a space behind him that was mostly webless. He could stand there if he hunched over, maybe.

“I think I’ve got a spot.” And with that, Danny planted his hands on either side of the floor next to him and lifted his legs off the ladder, hoisting himself upwards until he could plant his feet on the floor behind him. It was risky, but faster. He threw his weight backwards, and rolled easily into a sitting position on the floor. “Alright, I’m up.”

He heard Jon sigh below him. He sounded relieved.

The reason I like this bit so much is that it's Danny's POV, but imagining it from Jon's POV while knowing Things about him is just *chef's kiss*

#fg's answers #asks #stoker swap au #mallow family au #please keep asking me things its like kisses to my brain <3 #thats chapter 4 of the stoker swap au if anyones curious #im currently on chapter 5 #this is the most self indulgent thing ive ever written and im having so much fun <3
