first most important trait of a good archivist is obviously heedless reckless curiosity which can never be sated. second most important trait is that being terrified makes you kind of horny

Yo! It’s Grubby Jesus! (Jonathan Sims, head archivist of the Magnus Institute, London)
[ID: Digitally painted Magnus Archives fanart in the style of an old illuminated illustration. Jon is a thin brown man with thick, long wavy hair wearing dark robes. He stands in profile and holds a tape recorder to his chest while turning to look behind him. He has a stylized white third eye on his forehead, and a gold circle backs his head. End ID]
[image description: Agnes Montague is a young, caucasian woman with long, straight, dark auburn hair, parted on the side and fastend with a yellow hair clip. She wears a loose beige coat and a light yellow tunic with a deep neck line. She glances wearily to the side, the light yellow highlight on her skin giving the impression of sweat and the tinge of something unhealthy. She is standing in front of an intense orange background. It’s glow embracing Agnes from both sides and reflects in her eyes.
Jude Perry as a stoutly built east asian woman. She has an undercut with a very short fringe, wears some kind of leather jacket with a white shirt underneath. On her left side on her neckline bits of a tattoo are showing. It doesn’t exactly shows what it depicts, but it could be flames and smoke creeping upwards to the side of her neck. She has an menacing grin on her face and is surrounded by bright orange flames for a background. Her pupils shine with the same light in her shadowed eyes.]
I’m the cunt you married. The only time you liked yourself was when you were trying to be someone this cunt might like. I’m not a quitter, I’m that cunt. I killed for you; who else can say that? You think you’d be happy with a nice Southern boy? No way, baby! I’m it.
ARCHIVIST:
Fuck. You’re delusional. I mean, you’re insane, why would you even want this? Yes, I loved you and then all we did was resent each other, try to control each other. We caused each other pain.
the way this is the first and only time jonah compels jon and the fact that he can do it implicitly through written text but without ever explicitly stating an order to continue onward in that text 😩😵💫
the way even with the tremendous amount of power jonah has to make jon read this in the first place it’s still just a tug in a direction he was already leaning
the way that like any voyeur (like any comic book villain ;) jonah’s greatest wish at the culmination of his many lives’ work is to be seen. to be known. by the one person in the whole world who was fit to be crafted in his master’s image.
I would happily listen to hours of Gertrude and Gerry beating up occultists and disrupting rituals around the world, I love the concept of this mismatched duo… I’m ready for Gertrude Spinoff whenever.
