what makes the avatars in the magnus archives so great is that despite having ostensibly discarded or transcended their humanity through their patronage to the dread powers, they’re still just human enough to be hilariously petty and have more infighting amongst themselves than a toxic queer household group chat. the entities kept giving them these insane evil powers in exchange for their devotion and instead of using them to bring about the apocalypse like they intended every single one of them was like hmm i will use these abilities to torment my stupid ass coworkers i think.
it’s like if you gave a bunch of people nuclear launch codes and they all just used them to order a precision strike on the house of the guy who cut in front of them in the rush hour traffic last week
