I think a lot of tma fans mistake what makes you suseptible to becoming an avatar and what makes you suseptible to being a victim.
In my view, being a victim is about what you are afraid of while being an avatar is about how you cope. Yes, some cope by diving head first into what they are afraid of, but not all
For example, Jonah is afraid of death, but he isn’t an end avatar. Instead, he is an eye avatar because he copes by learning all he can so he can exert control.
