I get that Aubrey is grieving, but I am 100% on Warren’s side. She hasn’t told him anything about anything since he woke up, he deserves answers.
Actually, I’m not done. Not only has Aubrey not given Warren answers, and has not permitted anyone else to tell him anything, she has been actively avoiding him. She had several days before Jade’s completion day to talk to Warren and explain things, instead she avoided him for several days, gave vague, unhelpful, answers to his questions, and then snapped at him when he got fed up with her.
Even her “answer” in the episode told us absolutely nothing, “the pod is part of the plan to save Gordon” isn’t an actual answer, that tells us exactly nothing about the plan.
I’m honestly mostly just annoyed at how she’s treating Warren, she doesn’t give him answers and then snaps at him and yet she seems completely fine having friendly chats with Malcolm Landry.
Bullet points for a Frankenstein fanfic I will hopefully write:
It’s a nobody dies AU (except for Caroline, sorry but she kinda has to)
basically when Henry is nursing Victor back to health, he returns one day to find Victor gone.
In one of Victor’s fits of panic, he realizes that the Creature is out there somewhere and is determined to find him. (I know he was very unwell here, but if that twink can survive the artic he’ll manage a trek in December.)
The creature has stopped at the DeLacy’s home and is hiding out there, he has not managed to fully speak, but can somewhat understand and say single words (I’m pretty sure I’m speeding his development up a bit, but whatever)
Anyway Victor finds the Creature, and realizes that he has the capability to learn things, and decides to try and educate him.
That’s the main premise of the fic, there’s some other little plot bits, but I don’t know them fully yet.
It’s mostly better for the Creature, but Victor’s still not that great to him for a while. (He’ll come around eventually)
Victor still sometimes looks at him and is filled with intense (sometimes, though rarely, violent) panic.
Henry thinks that Victor was forced into some sort of experiment, and is totally not jealous that Victor maybe made another friend.
Is also incredibly affronted that anyone would dare to harm or take advantage of his dear friend.
Most of what I have so far is about Victor and Henry, but I do want to explore Elizabeth and Justine in the fic as well.
I have no clear ending to this fic, I’ll probably just make it a series or collection of random snippets of life after the initial fic.
One idea I have for this is that even when the Creature has a friend, (kinda, I’m not sure what to call his and Victor’s relationship in this) he’s not gonna be satisfied with that. Because honestly, I know he says “if just one being showed me kindness I would return it tenfold” or whatever but I think he’d want more pretty soon.
One story bit is that The Creature gets a crush, probably for Justine, and Victor is completely confused, cause he’s demiromantic and ace.
Am I dumb or oblivious cause where did the descriptions of the Magnus archives characters come from??😭
What thread or link am I missing? I wanna know how the creators see them!! I wanna make fanart but not sure what to base it off
The common designs for most of the characters are not canon. I haven’t a clue who first made the designs, but they ended up just becoming the most accepted design for them.
I have collected as many canon descriptions as I can under the cut.
(Spoilers for the whole show ahead)
(These are as many as I could remember and find, there might be more)
(I couldn’t find any description of Basira or Georgie.)
Jonathan Sims:
“little man” - MAG 79 (Said by Not-Sasha, so might just be an insult.)
“No-one ever believes me when I tell them my age. I don’t know if it’s the already greying hair or something in my demeanour, but they always act surprised when I mention being a child in the Nineties" - MAG 81 (Said by Jon himself)
“sneaky little freak!” - MAG 91 (Said by Daisy, might just be an insult)
“have not been taking care of your skin” - MAG 101 (Said by Nikola)
“my skin’s in better condition than… ever.” - MAG 102 (Said by Jon)
“Weirdo.” - MAG 103 (Said by Kurt Anderson, probably not about actual appearance)
“ little Archivist!” MAG 119 (Said by Nikola, might just be belittling)
“he look(s) like he hadn’t slept in about a week?” - MAG 142 (Said by Martin about Jon)
“there is this… creep”, “He’s all eyes. He’s all eyes.” - MAG 142 (Said by the statement giver, Jon’s victim [the second quote is how he looked in his victim’s dreams])
“little bookworm” - MAG 153 (Said by Julia Montauk, might just be a threat)
"you scrawny little tit" - MAG 185 (Said by the Inspector, might just be an insult)
As for Jon’s scars, by the end of the show he has:
Worm scars all over his body, the worst likely on his leg (unclear if it was the left or right)
A stab wound (Unclear where, [perhaps] convincingly from a bread knife)
A burned hand, likely second degree, maybe third degree (unclear if it was left or right, likely his non-dominant)
A scar on his neck
Probably some sort of wound from being in a exploded building
A scalpel wound in his shoulder (unclear if it was left or right)
Missing two ribs, probably didn’t actually leave a scar, but is a change of his physical form (Not said which ones)
A leg wound, most likely from teeth. Given it healed in minutes, it might not have scarred, but it was from Daisy, so I think it might have.(Unclear if it was left or right)
A knife wound (unclear where, presumably the heart or some other vital organ [possibly a wound to his eyes, but given the way he gasps I would personally guess it was an abdominal injury])
Martin Blackwood:
“I’m not exactly the smallest guy in the world” - MAG 22 (Said by Martin)
“Martin looks very comfortable, positively roomy.” - MAG 165 (Said by Not-Sasha, Might not necessarily be about physical appearance)
“The weak one legged it” - MAG 131 (Said by Jared Hopworth, probably not actually about physical appearance)
“little man.” - MAG 171 (Said by Jared Hopworth, again, probably doesn’t mean much coming from him)
Sasha James:
“Tall, long hair, glasses…” - MAG 76 (Said by Melanie)
Not Sasha:
I assume short, short hair, no glasses.
Tim Stoker:
“the hot one. He has scars like you, but kind of manages to pull them off ” - MAG 52 (Said by Basira)
Gertrude Robinson:
“ An old woman, probably in her fifties or sixties, wearing reading glasses and grey hair curled into a tight bun.” - MAG 37 (Said by statement giver [what she looked like in ~2002~])
“frail old woman” - MAG 101 (Said by Michael Shelly)
“she’s like a hundred years old and more cardigan than woman” - MAG 162 (Said by Tim)
Adelard Dekker:
“It was hard and stern, set in look of determination, and his short hair was iron grey. He was very thin, with aging skin stretched tight over wiry, corded muscle” - MAG 78 (Said by statement giver)
Elias Bouchard:
“weird little freak.” - MAG 82 (Said by Daisy, might just be an insult)
“an old-fashioned haircut”, “They (his eyes) were cold and grey” - MAG 192 (Said by Rosie)

Simon Fairchild:
“85-year-old doing a tandem jump for charity in memory of his wife” - MAG 21 (Said by statement giver)
“an old man with stark white hair and a gentle, amused smile. He had a walking stick in his hand, though his back was straight as an arrow” - MAG 124 (Said by statement giver)
“ he looks like a helpless old man” - MAG 174 (Said by Martin)
Melanie King:
“the skinny one” - MAG 131 (Said by Jared Hopworth)
Alice “Daisy” Tonner:
“the scar on my (Daisy) back. It doesn’t really look like a daisy, more like a starburst, but it’s what the doctor said when I got it” - MAG 82 (Said by Elias, taking Daisy’s statement)
“Scrawny isn’t she?”, “Malnourished I’d say.”, “when did you get so thin?” - MAG 153 (Said by Julia, Trevor, and Jon, respectively.[This is after the coffin, so she is cut off from the Hunt.])
Michael Shelly (Distortion):
“It looked too tall, the limbs and body were very thin and almost wavy, like they didn’t have any structure or bones in them.”, “They (hands) seemed to be stretched and inflated by the distorted light, until they were almost the size of the rest of the torso. The fingers were long and stiff, and seemed to end in sharp points.”, “a large man with long, blond hair.” - MAG 26 (Said by Sasha)
“He was tall, maybe six and a half feet? And he had long, straw-coloured hair that fell onto his shoulders in loose ringlets. His face was round and unthreatening” - MAG 47 (Said by Helen Richardson)
Michael crew:
“the scar, that branching Lichtenberg scar, stayed with him for the rest of his life.” - MAG 4 (Said by statement giver)
“He was short, and wore an old grey suit, faded with age, that didn’t seem to match his relatively youthful face. He wasn’t wearing a tie, and the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing a jagged array of pale white scar tissue that seemed to climb up the side of his neck like a flash of lightning. His pale eyes were entirely focused on Grant making his excruciating way up the ladder.”, “his loose, thin shirt billowed around that sprawling white scar.” - MAG 75 (Said by statement giver)
Gerard “Gerry” Keay:
“a man in a long, dark leather coat. His hair was dyed an artificial black, and he had the unshaven look of someone who hadn’t slept in a couple of days.” - MAG 4 (Said by statement giver)
“He was in almost identical shape* to the first, except for the fact that the burns seemed to stop at his neck, along a clear line. It was as though he’d been wearing a choker that the damage couldn’t get above but his neck was bare. He was smaller than the first man, and younger, I’d guess in his mid-thirties. He was clean-shaven, but had long hair dyed completely black. He wore a similar suit to the older man, except that over the top he wore a long black leather coat” *”They were second-degree, which is severe, but not usually such as to require hospitalisation, except that they appeared to cover his entire body. Every inch of exposed skin showed signs of this burning”, “Small, tattooed eyes on every one of his joints: his knees, his elbows and even his knuckles, as well as just over his heart. “ - MAG 12 (Said by statement giver)
“teenage burnout” - MAG 35 (Said by statement giver)
“He was pale, scrawny almost, and looked utterly out of place. His loose, bright shirt was in stark contrast to his long, black hair.” - MAG 48 (Said by statement giver)
“an angry goth.” - MAG 80 (Said by Jurgen Leitner)
Jared Hopworth:
“I saw that his fingers looked… sharp, as though the skin at the ends were being pushed into a tight point by something inside.”, “He had… added some extras.(limbs)” - MAG 17 (Said by statement giver)
“He was immense, almost seven feet tall, with thick limbs that looked like they had been badly-carved out of lumpy rock. Even his head was massive but there, like everywhere, his skin was on show. It bulged slightly when he moved, hard bumps forming and stretching his skin in odd places” - MAG 49 (Said by statement giver)
“The man who stood there was, without a doubt, the biggest guy I had ever seen”, “Despite his enormous size, his face seemed pretty normal, even handsome, with the sort of cheekbones and jawline I’d kill for.”, “ A distended, jagged body bared in all its twisted grandeur” - MAG 90 (Said by Statement Giver)
Agnes Montague:
“child with mousey brown pigtails” - MAG 8 (Said by statement giver)
“She had a small, sharp face, and long brown hair, always braided into two tight pigtails” - MAG 59 (Said by statement giver)
“she was so beautiful. She, she was tall, with long, straight, auburn hair and these eyes that, when they looked at you, it didn’t feel like she was seeing you so much as was trapping you.”, “She was dressed in a dark woolen coat and gray scarf, and had that same sort-of-smile on her face.” - MAG 67 (Said by statement giver)
Jude Perry:
“She was a short Asian woman, with close-cropped hair and a thick, muscular frame.”, “But it did show off a rather intimidating back tattoo of what looked to be a man wreathed in the fires of hell.” - MAG 67 (Said by statement giver)
Annabelle Cane:
“She dressed like a vintage clothing store exploded on her, and her short bleach-blonde hair stood out sharply against dark skin.” - MAG 69 (Said by statement giver)
“she was young, rail-thin underneath an oversized brown hoodie, which she kept pulled up, trying to cover up a network of pale stitches that stretched over one side of her head” - MAG 123 (Said by statement giver)
Oliver Banks:
“He was tall, black and careworn, deep lines of worry etched into an otherwise handsome face.” - MAG 42 (Said by statement giver)
Mary Keay:
“She was very old and painfully thin, but her head was completely clean shaven, and every square inch of skin I could see was tattooed over with closely-written words in a script I didn’t recognize”(Sanskrit.) - MAG 4 (said by statement giver. This would be after she is bound to the book.)
“She was like no one I’d met before in my life. She was beautiful, like a – like a shark is beautiful. Every moment she made was deliberate, sharp, and her eyes were always focused on something, always watching. And when she looked at me, I always felt afraid.” - MAG 154 (said by Eric Delano)
It can be assumed that either she or Eric (or both) are blonde, Gerry doesn’t have naturally dark hair, so chances are at least one of his parents doesn’t have dark hair. (Or he was just unlucky)
New headcanon. The entire archives crew are aromantic.
Jon: Aromantic/Asexual, when he broke it off with Georgie he thought it went bad because he thought that she was mad he didn’t feel the same way (she was fine with it, but decided she did want a romantic partner) and his feeling for Martin was mostly just because of the situation. ( I talked about it more here)
Martin: Aromantic/Homosexual, he’s never actually dated anyone, when he meets Jon he thinks he’s attractive and then he starts to care about him and is like “this must be romantic love”
Sasha: Aromantic/Pansexual, she and Tim hooked up for a one night stand, and then met at work and it was kinda awkward,and everyone thought they were a couple or exes or something, but then they became friends and make jokes about it.
Tim: Aromantic/Bisexual, great at flirting, doesn’t actually care to have a romantic relationship though. Gets really awkward when someone reads too much into it and tries to have a deep romantic relationship.
Basira: Aromantic/Bisexual, she and Daisy have a very committed relationship, but it’s not romantic. I feel like she might have have one night stands very rarely, but definitely not any time during the podcast.
Daisy: Aromantic/Asexual, cares deeply for Basira, and later Jon, but does not have a romantic bone in her body. She was too busy studying the blade to care about being in romantic or sexual relationships.
Melanie is the only one I think is not Aromantic, she and Georgie are happily in a romantic relationship.
I’ll post more about the newest Fawx & Stallion episode when I get the time to put my thoughts in order, but am I the only one that thinks Hampton might be trans?
Pretty sure canonically he’ll never be confirmed to be, but his one line in the last episode, “She was the first person who ever really saw me, the way I wanted to be seen.” Gives me major trans vibes. Also he is often said to look like a child, which for a trans guy with no access to testosterone seems like that would happen, he also says he can’t grow a mustache, but that might be a stretch.
hot take: in a modern setting hampton would make very passionate video essays about incredibly niche topics
the niche topics being “sherlock holmes is garbage, and here’s why,” “outfit haul from the scotland yard evidence bin,” “how to match a fake moustache to your hair color,” and “ranking every puzzle in london by difficulty”
