there isn't a barber in prison

King of a ruined world why not ruin me instead...🤤

stupid bastard man (affectionate).

"one hand on the gas release from the start" uhhh huhhhh and where was your other hand. freak

The Magnus Archives? Yeah! I love the part where he Magnused on his Archives.

Asks I get abt jonelias on my confessions blog are so weird istg

'Jmart toxicity is the same level as jonelias toxicity' 'If you hate jonelias you think gay ppl are inherently sexual'

Guys. Guys Jonah manipulated and groomed Jon. Guys thats why ppl hate it. POOR COMMUNICATION AND A BAD SITUATION ISNT THE SAME AS GROOMING SOMEONE JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY

My theory is that the reason Peter Lukas and Jonah Magnus have such a strained relationship is that Jonah has been stealing Peters Lonely-Aligned people to work for the institute. Like the wiki says that he deliberately picks people who he knows wouldn't be noticed if they went missing, so people who are already aligned with the lonely are prime candidates. I think it annoys the shit out of Peter that Jonah keeps taking people who are aligned with the lonely and making them work an office job together.

I was thinking of what Halloween costumes the archival crew would wear and I’ve come up with:

Sasha dressing up as a witch or anything fantasy related.

Tim dressing up as either a werewolf, a mummy, and or something that’s really dumb like cereal killer type of costume.

Martin is definitely dressing up as something like a zombie or more creepy then the average costume. It’s either a basic cute costume or a horrifying one. There’s no in between.

Elias/Jonah doesn’t care and if he ever dresses up? He’s a vampire. Always a vampire in different time periods that are somehow too accurate for the guy is supposedly around the modern times.

Jon dresses up as nothing. He doesn’t dress up, in fact he really dislikes Halloween and always tries to avoid people from knocking on his door by putting a bowl of candy outside with a sign, or goes without lights on. (Totally not because of trauma about knocking on doors).

tim being a cereal killer is genuinely making me giggle,,, it's so DUMB and so HIM. he definitely egged some people's houses when he was younger.

i can imagine jon being pretty into halloween (with costumes and such) pre-head archivist, but even before michael and the door, it all makes him a bit paranoid, especially considering his experience with Mr Spider, which already made halloween quite difficult for him. the most he'll do is carve a pumpkin and leave a bowl of sweets outside.

elias, however, lives for it, before and after possession. og elias would think it's fun, and it's a good time for jonah to scare the shit out of people, especially kids.

sasha has the best witch costume - there's no arguing. none of that ugly witch business either, she's too pretty.

martin goes all out for halloween. it's the most uncharacteristic thing anyone in the archives has ever seen, including elias.

the institute on halloween is HELL if you don't like halloween. it's just asking for trouble.

I forgot to post this here but I made a tma ver of that pixel voice trend

{TikTok ver}

there is something just so damn compelling about Lonelyeyes as a deeply, deliberately harmful relationship, as a vessel for fear, for feeding.

every time they're together Elias knows Peter can barely stand his company, knows he'll be leaving both soon and abruptly, knows that Peter will never truly give himself away. he knows that his archives are full of letters from friends he left to die or killed himself, knows that his closest companion is an avatar of Forsaken, knows that he truly has no one left but himself.

every time they're together Peter knows Elias can see him, see all of him laid out and plain, all his most private thoughts, all his hopes and his fears. he knows there is always, always a chance that Elias is watching him whenever he is anywhere but the Lonely itself. even on the Tundra, tucked away in his private sanctum, he can never truly escape it, but that fear is so much worse here and now, with Elias' eyes (Jonah's eyes, really) on him. it is undeniable that he is seen, and known, and judged.

Elias knows that Peter understands exactly what he's thinking when they're together, that he knows all the sentimental weaknesses he's tried to cut away. Peter knows that Elias will never truly care for him, that at the end of the day he will always be another piece on Elias' chess board, practical and expendable.

they both know what this is for. they need fear, and they do, at the end of the day, want each other (in certain ways, in painful ways, always too much or too little), and they are under no illusions about what this means to the other (Elias knows what it means to Peter, of course, and while Peter doesn't have any supernatural insight he's no fool), and it hurts, and it's meant to hurt. it hurts, and it sustains them, and when they go their separate ways they can't help but wait for the next visit with longing and fear alike.

hello everyone i'm having a "i'm obsessed with elias" day again. he is the exact type of character that is designed to make me go fucking wild. honestly if i could have anything in the world i think i'd ask to sit down with elias (well. ben in character lmao) for as long as possible with complete freedom in terms of the questions i can ask

i want to know more about how his powers work. the jonah era. what he regrets. what he doesn't. i need to know everything

writing fanfic got me crying at points and blushing and kicking my feet at others

and the characters in question are eldritch horrors

what a wild wonderful ride it is

i hate elias/jonah with the power of a thousand suns and i hc him as cishet. BUT i think elias pre-jonah is funny as fuck. having a masters in psychology while being stoned a lot and also getting a head job at like 25-30? king. Also basira is arab idk if thats a hc or not

.

[PLEASURED EXHALATION] freak.

I know he’s kind of a polarizing character, but I have to say, Elias Bouchard truly is Iconic. When you hear the twist of “the boring middle manager was actually secretly an evil eldritch monster the whole time!” you sort of assume that the boring middle manager persona was just a facade, but no, he really does seem to just enjoy dull administrative work. He’s both exactly as boring as he seems on the surface and profoundly fucked up in ways you couldn’t imagine. He’s practically omniscient and playing 4-D chess with everyone, but he responds to even slight hiccups in his elaborate scheme with acts of extreme violence. He beats an old man to death with a metal pipe and when someone brings it up later he goes, “Yeah I may have overreacted there.” His employees are constantly trying to murder him. He broke out of prison just so he could give a dramatic monologue. He had a weird gay thing going on with seemingly every man he met in the past 200 years. He loves scheduling.

Trapped in the computer bc they unleashed the horrors U_U

If Jonah is actually in there i'll eat my keyboard
