Hi! I went through all your Magnus Archives art (love it by the way) but I didn’t see a Not!Sasha. Do you have any art or head cannons about that?

Oh boy, Not!Sasha hurt me because when I first started listening I wasted NO time getting disproportionally attached to Sasha James only to have her ripped away from me after one season. That being said, I think the whole Not-Them concept is super cool and that the idea of being replaced not by something that is really nothing at all like you and having nobody notice regardless is infinitely more chilling than the idea of being replaced by a doppelgänger. I had a pretty clear picture of Not!Sasha from listening to the show but had never actually drawn her before! I like the idea of her looking pretty obviously off, like there’s no WAY this is right, but what else is she supposed to look like, she’s always looked like that….I think

As far as headcanons go, I don’t know if this counts, but back when I was listening to s2 and wondering if we were ever gonna get actual sasha back (rip), I was playing with the idea that the Not-Them’s victims ended up stuck following it around as invisible ghost echo or something, watching as this thing that resembled them IN NO WAY replaces them completely without their friends and family even noticing, and that’s the situation Sasha ended up in. Obviously this was never covered in the show and I think it was implied that the victims were just gone, but I still think it would be an interesting concept! After all what’s the point in replacing someone if they just cease to exist completely without a chance to feel sad about it, y’know?

Anyway, here’s Not!Sasha (with my real actual Sasha design thrown in for comparison):
