"Killing me won't save your world"

"Michael but his hands are sticky hand toys. He just slaps them at people" -my roommate
thought of the day: the more terrifying moments in tma aren’t about monsters at all, but what humans resolve to out of desperation. like melanie calmly asking to call her an ambulance when she’s about to go blind. or jon sawing his finger off again, and again, and again
Why the fuck does writing a 2.5k word fanfic chapter take a couple hours at most when the assignment I've been working on for a week straight is also around 2.5k words 😭 I was supposed to hand it in almost a week ago now, and I'm maybe halfway done I'm going to fail again fr fr
(I mean at this point I'm going to send it whatever state it's in tomorrow hoping for like, whatever the lowest passing grade is)
So I'm writing this fanfic, and I got a comment and I read it and the damn thing is like an imagined funny situation in the future and the problem(?) is it's almost exactly what I have in my notes for a very distant chapter

WHY IS THIS ALICE?
This has been in my head for weeks i couldnt let go of it
taking poison damage from thinking too hard about how tma capitalizes on the horror of not having all the information by slowly taking away said information from the listener
really looking forward to the elias reveal in protocol where he shows up the office and alice comes to the horrible realisation that her weed dealer is related to gwen
I made a very tiny sketchbook. Considering making an earring out of it because imagine having earrings you can write in???
I won't be surprised if alchemy ends up being my next hyperfixation since I see myself slowly getting bored of bookbinding and this is the third fandom I'm in that takes inspiration from alchemy (FMA, Genshin and TMA)
I was like "huh, loads of alchemy in Magnus Protocol, better pick up some books on alchemy to see if they help me understand some hidden themes" so I picked up "Secrets of Alchemy" by Lawrence M. Principe and guys, I'm just sitting there, reading it like:
THERE IS SO MUCH STUFF THAT'S CURRENTLY RELEVANT. DYES (INKS??) BEING ONE OF MAIN SUBJECTS, AN ALTAR WHERE YOU SACRIFICE MEN OF THREE METALS AND ASK THEM QUESTIONS (FREDDY?), GERMAN CODE BEING RELEVANT (???), ONE OF THE MAIN ARABIC SCHOLARS OF ALCHEMY WAS PRINCE FUCKING KHALID (like, ya know, SAMAMA KHALID??).
I'm only TWO CHAPTERS INTO THIS BOOK and already had like five points where I'm gleefully reading it and suddenly going "...wait". I will go insane before S1 even ends.
maybe don’t hire Martin
bonus:
I’ve seen so many versions of the tma finale where Jon is a distorted thing with a bunch of eyes floating above the ground but hear me out:
The moment Jon becomes the pupil of the eye, he looks even more like himself than he’s looked in years.
I dunno I feel like the implications are kinda sick.
Gerry my beloved 🖤
Gertrude: Gerard, why does the Distortion call you babygirl
Gerry, lying in a hospital bed recovering from his successful brain surgery: do we have to do this right now
uh oh
UH OH
While we’re talking about the parallels between “you don’t sound Russian?” and “can he read?” I want to point out that Nikola Orsinov actually answered the question, but Bonzo didn’t answer shit.
Which means that it’s perfectly within my rights to assume that no, Mr. Bonzo cannot read.
More eye halo plus give him a friend!!!
Sometimes I think of tma verse Gerry talking about how, “It hurts. Being like this. And it’s not like any pain you can feel when you’re alive. It’s… it hurts to exist.”
And I wonder, if Jon is one of the voices trapped in the computers, if he finally understands what Gerry meant.
Yeah, sure I’ll keep drawing Gerry and I’ll be so normal about it
jonathan sims top character of all time. his best friend is his ex-girlfriend’s cat. he doesn’t drink coffee. he lies about his age but everyone believes him because he acts like a 60 year old man. the second he’s faced with death he asks his coworker if he’s a ghost. he later falls in love with that coworker. instead of having a beautiful narrative arc about the importance of friendship and surrounding yourself with anchors he had a meat freak rip out his rib. he’s canonically asexual.
I’ve been relistening MAG 49: The Butcher’s Window and this part caught my attention:
Jared pulled out what appeared to be a handful of ribs. He considered them for a few moments before he began to twist them like warm putty, making them into some sort of braid.
I immediately saw Jared Hopworth as thorough artist. He doesn't just bluntly take out the bones, but he treats them like art, he makes things out of them before putting them in himself. So I came up with an interesting image. In fact, Jared makes different types of bone jewelry: wreaths, necklaces, belts. When he puts them on, after a while, the jewelry dissolves into him and becomes part of his body, forming his huge, uneven body. Since the Flesh is associated with appearance and body expression, it makes sense if Jared Hopworth, the king of The Flesh, would be covered in handmade delicate jewelry, which is for him a symbol of beauty and art.
please I need this as a crack fic so bad
TMA AU in which Jonathan Sims got himself a car after the promotion. He's not exactly a car person, but that's what people do, he's pretty sure of it. And he can do so much with that car. He can bitch about the parking in central London, he can use it to spy on his assistants, he can name the car, live in it for a while, have it stolen, have it confiscated, have it vandalized by every avatar in Britain. When Jon is on a run, he throws away his license plates and can't find them after his charges are cleared. He loses his driving license too, but that's alright, he can just consult with the Beholding to avoid police. At this point everyone tells Jon to leave the cursed pile of metal somewhere in the woods already, but he can't just abandon his beloved automobile! What do you think he named it? I think Barnabas. I also think the car became sentient and drove away after the apocalypse, as per the laws of the genre. Jon met Basira in one of the domains, asked if she's seen his car and got smacked immediately.
NEEDLES????

i still havent actually listened to TMA
young artist posting your work online, heed my warning. im holding your face so gently in my hands, you have to stop caring about numbers right now and start caring about making the weirdest and most self-indulgent art you possibly can
Statement begins
All my current hyperfixations are by this man 😔
My muse ❤️❤️
