sorry but the archive staff agonising over whether they should do their jobs &c. is so funny to me. I would 100% voluntarily research the paranormal. firstly, I want to knowwww, like Elias Magnus was so right for being curious to the point of horror. secondly, the constant threat of danger is hot actually.
Elias choosing Jon to be the archive had nothing to do with being already marked by eldritch horrors, it was because he says shit like this organically. soulmates
tma is so good at explicating the idea of worshipping what you fear and making a god of your unmaking
I miss Elias so much <- is actively relistening to tma
