December 2023

honestly my only peeve with the fandom and how they portray Jon and his asexuality is that I’m pretty sure that man does NOT have the vocab to call himself ace. he wouldn’t just say he’s asexual he would just fumble because he doesn’t know how to explain whatever he’s got going on. Because he’s emotionally repressed.

“Writer Jonny Sims has confirmed that the Archivist was written as asexual in the Season 4 Q+A Part 1 and on Twitter, but he isn’t sure what the Archivist himself would identify as since he’s not the kind of person to openly talk about feelings or sexuality” there’s also that.

Random headcanon I’ve been holding for months:

Elias has Allan’s name tattooed somewhere on his body from a drunken/high bet in university.

And of course now it’s just a reminder of two dead boys that never mattered in the grand scheme of things

man angus’s death was so fucking brutal

“When she first joined the Archives, she took the place of a man named Angus Stacey, whose face was torn from his skull by a creature of masks and smiles.”

like what the fuck

When you’re trying to steal a corpse for Medical Study without getting busted and he keeps trying to talk to you about Ghosts.

THANK U @gertruderobinsonscat for tempting me with this concept…

THEY

Keep thinking about this! But ~*imagine*~!

Jonathan has successfully broken into the graveyard. He knows his time is short, he needs to dig this body up by sunrise *and* cover his tracks well enough that the police don’t track him down. Midway through the dig a light falls on him. He looks up in panic, thinking that the jig is up and he’s about to be arrested. Instead of a guard he sees a handsome and respectable-looking gentleman. His first assumption is that this is another medical student on the same errand as he is.

Jonathan: This one is mine, there are a few fresh graves over yonder.

Jonah, still reeling over finding this absolute SNACK in an open grave instead of whatever ghoulish creature he was investigating: Nah, I’m good. Mind if I watch? Mind if I lecture you about the ghostly rumors of haunting that I’m researching while I watch the sweat soak through your shirt, clinging to the muscles of your shoulders, until you are so damp and uncomfortable you *swallow* have to remove your neck cloth?

YEAH! DELICIOUS! YOU GET IT!!

I’m imagining. 

Okay niche subsection of the tma fandom that also likes Be More Chill:

Michael as Michael

OG Elias as Jeremy

Jonah as the squip

That’s all I got. But do you see my vision?

Idk where I first saw it (probs the tags of a fic I haven’t read yet) but stranger barnabas has me in a chokehold.

More like the idea of something wearing his skin, rather than him falling to that fear. Shame skin can’t last that long, the thought of him in the modern timeline of tma is just… *sigh* Elias needs that scare

But at the same time barnabas being something like Jonah and Maxwell and taking other peoples bodies somehow and just. Yeah.
