Some Random Magnus Archive Headcanon’s

A: Michael Shelley had visual snow syndrome, which is a condition that makes you see static. It got worse when he became The Distortion.

B: After the apocalypse Rosie Zampano tries to use her limited (but still more than most) knowledge on Elias and The Institute to help people make sense of things. Any time she comes cross someone that’s frazzled she tells me as much as she can…and before long it becomes widely know that Rosie Zampano was the apocalypses secretary. This actually launches her into a bit of a fame and she get’s quite a few “tell all” offers in the form of book deals and interview offers. Though she’s very hesitant on whether she wants to take any of them.

C: The Admiral is a manx. And I headcanon this because the manx breed was popular as ship cat due to their skilled hunting abilities…So that adds another layer to his name.

D: Gerard Keay has missing and chipped teeth on the side of his mouth from running straight into a wall while chasing someone with a Leitner.

E: Agnes Montague didn’t even like coffee, but she was so unsure of as a person that she wasn’t totally sure what drinks she liked. Most of her life was a performance, just doing she thought others wanted her to be doing, and her food and drink “preferences” were one of those things. She would loved hot chocolate.

F: Melanie’s style takes a lot of inspiration from the 80’s grunge aesthetic. She also really likes 80’s new wave music.

G: Gertrude Robinson has massive burn scars all over her body from The Desolation ritual. And bonus headcanon about The Desolation ritual: It gave her fire resistance. She can still still get burned but it takes more to burn her than the usual person.

H: Jon’s hands are chronically cold. Martin’s hands are chronically warm.

I: Danny Stoker still made mix tapes. He made a lot of them on his travels and when he returned home he would give some personally crafted ones to his friends and family. Tim keeps his in a box on his dresser.

J: Anabelle Cane was the one responsible for posting the tapes to YouTube in-universe. It wasn’t necessarily her who posted it, but she had…contingency plans to make sure the new universe knew what they were getting into.
