Posting that here because I don't want to be attacked by my sadistic mutuals on main, but I've just started reading the transcripts of The Magnus Archives (couldn't focus on the audio), and I need to present:
The Magnus Archives (But I've Only Read a Few Chapters and Am Very, Very Confused.)
There's an archivist. His name starts with J and he talks a lot.
There are weird things happening to various people.
Every chapter is a different experience. Am I supposed to make connections between the stories? Who knows. They don't make a lot of sense so far.
Many different people and English names. Seriously, do you want me to die because I can't make the difference between the Jons, the Johns, the Joshuas and the Johnathans ? Do you know any names that don't start with J ?
Speaking of names, why am I hallucinating a Harold? I re-read the thing twice and don't see any Harolds. This doesn't feel right. There should be a Harold. These statements give Harold vibes. Give me Harold or give me death.
No sense whyyyyy?
There's a very cool guy named Gerard and I want to steal his wardrobe. He burns stuff.
No main guy lore ? Like, bro straight up announced that he lives a fantastic life reorganizing files in Dream Princess Abandoned Archives with two and a half co-workers and totally changes subject without further ado? Why, Josh, why? I want to know why you hate that guy.
Wait wasn't he John?
Who is that poor Martin and why does Jyouknowwho hate him?
What's happening with the recordings? Do you just put them away in boxes, Gabriel "not my department" style? What's the point?
GERARD KEAY GERARD KEAY GERARD KEAY
Is someone else going to speak or did Main-Guy-Probably-Jake lock himself with the mic ?
My friend who wanted me to listen to it teased it by speaking about romance and good queer rep. Where's the romance? Am I going to witness Jalapeño slowly falling in love with the tape recorder?
Eldritch books are an absolute slay.
Burning them is an even more absolute slay.
I made the mistake of opening a Pinterest board. Are you guys okay?
Well, obviously, no. But why is there a perfectly normal and decorative vase which isn't homophobic at all?
Also, who is the (gorgeous) blonde with long hands? Is he okay?
Shout-out to J-something-not-main-guy who managed to live with an eldritch soprano coffin for eighteen months. You get it, man.
Anyways, leaving you on this, answering my asks, and avoiding Tumblr to stop being spoiled. I'll come back whith more info in a few days.

Finished this today. Almost 12h of work. Not the longest I have worked on anything but definitely the best portraits I have drawn

I really need to start posting my Tyler headcanons already. I said I would start posting them a while ago and ever since then they've just been sat there in my drafts collecting dust
so after I finish them off, the plan is to pop them on my queue so they get posted out daily and I don't have to worry much about it

Could I get HCs for what pet names the Elsens would use for the reader? Thank you! ☆
Yup, of course! Please do apologise the delay in completing the request! I hope this is to your liking! Also, this is another really cute request! Good to see people love these little guys so much.
Elsen Giving Reader Nicknames
While Elsen definitely are affectionate beings, they’re also more on the reserved side, usually. But it’s definitely not out of the question for them to give you a few nicknames, especially once you’ve given them some. It made them feel more like individuals and not just “some other Elsen”. So, they were grateful for any name you would give them.
Yes, not every Elsen is the same, so the names given to you would vary. But some could be a bit more generalised based on where they work and what their priorities are. For example, sad as it may be, an Elsen working in zone 3 would be more likely to call you something related to sweets. With “Sugar”, “Honey” and “Cutie Pie” just being a few examples. They connect you with what they are fond of, and thus, saccharine nicknames are their chosen ones.
For the inhabitants of zone 2 it would likely be something relating to how you make them feel. They value safety above anything else, so they are likely to call you something along the lines of their “Hero”, “(Guardian) Angel” or “Shelter”. A bit less romantic, yes, but it still conveys just as much feeling.
As for the residents of zone 1, it could be something a bit more casual. Since zone 1 provides the other zones with most of the elements they need, they are hard workers. Again, depending on where in zone 1 they work, the nicknames can vary, but generally speaking, something like “Sunshine”, “Sweetheart” and their “World” is to be expected. Things that are important for existence.

The older I get the more I admire people who are earnestly, genuinely into whatever their thing is. I know it sounds like an annoying cliche but unless you're being cruel or hurtful there is really no need to be normal about things. The dude with the bad fake accent at the renaissance faire is having the time of his life. The people having photoshoots with their fashion dolls are loving it. The old lady with a yard unreasonably full of tacky ass lawn ornaments is having a blast, HOA be damned.
Don't waste your time being too cool to have fun, y'know?

every so often i just think about how good it was that the most foolproof one-size-fits-all solution for dealing with basically any horrifyingly evil supernatural monster of the week in the magnus archives was just. burying them in concrete. like yeah i can believe that a few tons of grey brutalist slop would stop the wolfman or pretty much anything in its tracks to be honest. they use that shit on nuclear waste. do you honestly think you're stronger than a nuke? a fucking nuke?
