Guys Jonah Magnus is so tragic
imagine being so scared of death that you become an avatar of an eldritch fear entity. You dedicate your WHOLE life to said fear entity. You sacrifice everyone around you, everyone you’ve ever loved, everyone you’ve ever had a close relationship with. You ruin the lives of countless people. You live for over 200 years in which you watch everyone you ever love die. You do all of this and more, you end the world. You do all that because you’re so terrified of dying, of the cold embrace of nothing, forever. You did awful things but it will be alright, you haven’t done it all for nothing, you’re gonna live . And when it all ends, when the fear entity promised you eternal life, it discards you like a used toy. You are replaced by the Archive you made, by a man willing to doom the entities in order for the people he loves to live. You are replaced by a man unwilling to dedicate himself to fear. And he kills you, and your dear dear fear entity does nothing. It wanted you gone the Archive was a perfect replacement. And you die. After everything, you die. It was all for nothing.

sometimes, I feel weird about taking Jonathan Fanshawe, one of the few men who managed to escape Jonah, and making up his story in such a way that it turns out that he didn’t actually manage to do that. and then I realize how hot and cool it would be if Jonathan only thought that severing ties with Jonah would be enough to save him. if Jonathan’s hope that he could resist the natural disaster that Jonah is was just his naivety. if Jonah was more like a plague than a person to everyone around him – if you linger around him, you are as good as dead; there is no way to stop the progression of that illness once it touched you. no way to get out of the downward spiral of otherworldly horrors and madness if you were careless enough to let that charming handsome man lead you to the first steps of it. how fitting would it be if everything dear to Jonah rotted under his touch, first against his will, then for his entertainment. and I calm down ❤️
to add to this. this is why I occasionally enjoy corruption!Jonah. I don’t think it makes that much sense for him on a personal level (yes, he is lonely, but I think it’s not the sort of lonely that makes you accept the Rot), but it makes sense from the perspective of his interactions with everyone around him. he literally corrupts everything and everyone
