One of my favorite things with TMA fanart is when people draw Elias with eye paraphernalia or motifs because it makes pre entity discovery tma so much funnier

the difference between (Jonah)Elias and Gwen Bouchard is so funny to me because Elias will say he’s better than you while possessing near godly power that can (and almost does) bring about the end of the world and Gwen will say she’s better than you while possessing mommy issues and a mental breakdown

Ok magnus archives enjoyers. Got another important question for you

Because as fun as it is to say it’s an anthological horror series, and that it’s a workplace comedy, sometimes I forget it does have more tragic elements than anything else

No but like, tma is officially my favourite everything. Fav podcast, fav writing, fav characters, fav plot, fav worldbuilding, fav dumbasses, fav found (but fucked up and unwilling) family, i love them, i cant wait

If Lena and Elias met only one of them would come out alive. Also Lena would hate his guts, she’d start a fight about being a responsible boss and valuing your employees safety

Meeting Elias would solidify her opinion about the Bouchard family, this woman would go through great pains to never be in a 10 mile radius of a Bouchard ever again afterwards ( even tho he’s technically Jonah Magnus but yk )

”Your body, my temple” and JonElias is going to kill me oh my god. Also on the list of songs that will make me want to explode if applied to JE is Kiss Me Animal by Burn The Ballroom (thank you to @shinythingsarecool for recommending that one) and Tiny Gods by Shayfer James

"The Beholding already had it's 'eyes' on us huh?..."

i assume 10 yr old Jonah wouldn't have known about the Beholding and would definitely be shocked if he saw his older self who's already into working for that Eldritch being.

As for the caption, the fears usually observe someone before marking them i guess. Similarly, The Eye should have observed Jonah too to check for potential.

no but why did i have a dream last night where jonah magnus had a nintendo ds. i was given it to look at (by a museum ig?) and they gave me a guide on how to find all the secret shit he'd hidden in the casing of it, like reminders and information for his plans

Where are his eyes?

Exactly where they’ve always been, Martin. Watching over my Institute.

I know he’s kind of a polarizing character, but I have to say, Elias Bouchard truly is Iconic. When you hear the twist of “the boring middle manager was actually secretly an evil eldritch monster the whole time!” you sort of assume that the boring middle manager persona was just a facade, but no, he really does seem to just enjoy dull administrative work. He’s both exactly as boring as he seems on the surface and profoundly fucked up in ways you couldn’t imagine. He’s practically omniscient and playing 4-D chess with everyone, but he responds to even slight hiccups in his elaborate scheme with acts of extreme violence. He beats an old man to death with a metal pipe and when someone brings it up later he goes, “Yeah I may have overreacted there.” His employees are constantly trying to murder him. He broke out of prison just so he could give a dramatic monologue. He had a weird gay thing going on with seemingly every man he met in the past 200 years. He loves scheduling.

elias in hades, perchance?

if tma were a hades-style roguelike I think it'd be entertaining to have elias just show up like a little bitch and give you tasks that eventually give you rewards. I don't think he'd show up as the final boss until much later on in the story (equivalent to the hades epilogue) where he'll become the eye's pupil and the player (presumably jon) has to kill him to stop the eyepocalypse or smth (don't question my thought process too much I haven't actually rationalised it all in my head yet lol)

young jonah magnus is if dorian gray in a different font

Trapped in the computer bc they unleashed the horrors U_U

If Jonah is actually in there i'll eat my keyboard

uh oh

UH OH

So normal about Jon being like I don’t remember what you looked like but the man who let you die is going to suffer for what he did to you. If only Sasha coulda seen that.

So normal about Jon being like you died hating me and wanting me dead but I’m still gonna make sure this man knows I’m ending him in your name. Sure wish Tim coulda seen that.

So normal about the fact that everyone believed Jon was losing his humanity but no one got to see the ways his love and compassion for the people he lost or who hurt him drove him to that final moment.

So normal about the fact that even after everything Jonah’s done to Jon, the only person he never thinks to get justice for is himself.
