God I love Gertrude Robinson. You spend the season one convinced she was history’s biggest ignoramus then it turns out she’d spent decades travelling the world and walking right up to whichever eldritch monster made out of nightmares was trying to cause the apocalypse this week; and then she’d do the equivalent of schpritzing it like a misbehaving cat, which usually involved murder. And she did it all while serving flawless strict librarian realness
Alright so the Vast!Jon AU is winning by a pretty big margin, so I’ll yell about it in a moment. I do want to say that if you like any of these ideas/aus or get inspired, feel free to do whatever you want with them! I’m AuDHD and like my god, I don’t have the brain power to do all of them! Just pleaaaaasssseee TAG ME so I can see whatever it is you come up with! Anyway, onto another poll! We all know Jmart is canon af, but if you could have one TMA ship or pairing be canon or at least be morre widely recognized, what would it be? Vote for your fav below or yell at me in the tags because I forgot your ship XD I’ll choose the ones I like best and write little things for them! More AUS. I AM NOW THE AU CRAFTER. Anyway.
What’s your fav ship/What would you wanna see me write for/au with?
big fan of the interpretation in ships that jonah magnus will not hesitate to kill someone they love, or to let someone they love die. it’ll still hurt them, especially if they do it just to further the eye’s agenda, but they will not hesitate. they’ll only ever cry after people they’ve lost alone and ashamed, and they will not let their own affection for someone get in the way of their plan.
i tricked you into reading another janelias post this is just another janelias post
tma s5 except helen somehow stops being the distortion out of nowhere and now she’s just some scared confused lesbian. sopping wet cat of a girl whose only life experience is being a middle class real estate agent. how will she ever make it in this world, you ask. well i heard a rumor that there’s a hot new apocalypse cult around,
wait hold on okay. what if whenever she gets really confused, she still goes Distortion Mode and is just kind of their friendly pet distortion.
imagine if some guy that listens to the mechanisms and stellar firma listened to the magnus archives for the first time with no context given and was like “hey wait a fucking second”
the fact of the matter is that if ryan, i wonder by will wood was a full song and on spotify, it would be on every single simon fairchild character playlist.

much like tim stoker x elias bouchard, trexel geistman x hartro piltz would be absolutely hilarious in that both of them would fucking despise this. in fact, they’d be even more dramatically devastated by this than timelias. trexel performing a musical number called Please Board Why Her, She’s Going To Kill Me. meanwhile hartro just kicks down the door holding some far too elaborate type of gun going “UNDO your EVIL fucking curse RIGHT NOW!!!! RRAAAGGGHHH”
one-sided jonelias is so funny just as a concept. your evil eldritch monster boss keeps getting you into life-threatening situations but also he is just incredibly down bad for you. like, astronomically down bad. just completely hopelessly devastatingly in love with you. and you just kind of wish he’d stop mentally torturing your co-workers

the end of s4 is actually just jonah getting rejected in the most humiliating way possible (seeing his crush spiral into codependency with someone that isn’t him) so he just kind of. starts the apocalypse about it. /j

i. i just realized the further implications of this concept. because that also means that s5, from jonah’s point of view, was just him watching every single jonmartin moment via the eye and then getting killed by jon and THEN having them share their first kiss in the same room as his dead body. the entire multiverse’s biggest adding insult to injury moment ever, possibly. the single biggest L in the world. a comically horrible situation for him tbh. how are you the king of a ruined world and still such a loser on a cosmic level
No matter how many more fucked up weirdos show up in the rest of The Magnus Archives, I will never stop thinking about Jane Prentiss. I just…I’m so in awe. How her themes of love, sex and femininity are contrasted by the disgusting worms she carries with her. How she represents those who lack any form of love in their life, whether it’s for valid reasons or not, and then find love in the most vile of places. How The Flesh Hive is basically a metaphor for people who give false promises of love and affection to those in a dark and lonely place, only to manipulate and control them for their own gain. For a walking corpse who we only ever hear say one line, she is a fantastic character who I hold very dearly.
here’s a mental image for you. post-kidnapping jon pulls up to elias’ office. pissed off as hell like ok bitch here’s the deal why should i trust anything you say at all ever again. elias sighs and slowly pulls out a microphone seemingly out of nowhere. you areee still aliivee,
i do not know how lucid jonah’s internal monologue was during the eyepocalypse but god i hope the eye kept purposefully showing him jonmartin. i hope he was up in the panopticon floating mid-air just crying his eyes out going “it should’ve been me.i should’ve been his manipulative codependent boyfriend”

yeah exactly. imagine you reach omniscience, but one of the side effects is being constantly aware of just how unloved you are. imagine watching the love of your life prove again and again that he does not love you, he will never love you, you are unloved.
i feel bad for him the way i feel bad for a broken computer. like oh, you’re going through something, but i don’t think i’m supposed to feel bad for you. i don’t think there’s enough to you to feel bad for. but i still feel weird seeing someone to take you apart in front of me
i am about to fall asleep its time to post vaguely soft janelias headcanons on main
sometimes jane completely loses her ability to talk because of the effects of the corruption. it doesn’t matter, because jonah always knows what she wants to say anyways.
they both like that sharp crackle sound of the fear entities. it’s like white noise to them. they fall asleep to that sound.
jonah used to hate things like bugs and mold and dirt. now he just sees it and goes “i bet jane would love this” instead.
jonah plays the violin. jane listens. sometimes she figures out the patterns of the melodies, and starts humming along.
when they cuddle, it’s mostly very gentle, subtle. like they just happen to be close right now, so they might as well wrap around each other.
gertrude/jonah where both of them absolutely refuse to fall asleep when the other is around. gertrude barely sleeps in general, she has too many enemies. she taught herself to wake up reflexively after like 30 minutes of sleeping, just in case. my headcanon is that the eye’s effects make jonah’s dreams extremely vivid and longer than natural (he doesn’t dream as much as he just watches someone else’s thoughts while asleep), so he can’t really predict how long he’ll be asleep for, and that leaves him far too vulnerable for his comfort.
i strongly believe that both of them are wayy too stubborn and distrustful to ever willingly fall asleep close to each other.
I’m thinking about how, even though S3 Tim was probably the most verbally aggressive towards Elias out of the whole Archival gang, Elias never threatened him and never used his traumatic memories against him. And how Elias knew all along that all the individual rituals will fail even without anyone intervening and happily sent the gang to their potential deaths, but still attempted to convince Tim to stay out of it
being flirted with would not fluster jonah magnus and having someone confess their love to him would not fluster jonah magnus but weird fear entity avatar stuff absolutely would. and does. you could pull the smoothest pick-up lines on him and he would not care but jane prentiss pulls up to his office like “did you know that you can be fully consumed by what loves you.” and he’s like “oh. wait holdf on okay h. wait hold on. okay. um . okay. hhhh,,, okay. uh- um.”

i made this about janelias because of course i did but to be honest this is literally just how i think he is about every other fear avatar.
we all heard how weird he got about jon compelling him.
i never stopped thinking about that “agonizing bliss” line. i never stopped thinking about the state of jonah magnus in s5. it’s such a subversion of a typical storyline - you’re expecting a fight. a grand finale. but then the finale is there, and it’s just…it’s a still image. a haunting still image of a man who willingly rendered himself inhuman. he doesn’t fight. he doesn’t have a final monologue. he just dies like a fucking thing. he dies like an object.
it feels like it should be anti-climactic, but it’s not. it’s so effective. it’s so fitting. jonah magnus was a tragedy writing itself from the beginning.

the thing is that i just invented it one day, and have been trying to convert people ever since.
