beholding is the middle child they all bully for being the weakest (then they'd just fucking yell at it for letting its Archivist run loose and kill their avatars)
slaughter and hunt act like twins despite being the third youngest and oldest respectively
flesh, buried, and corruption would all garden together
spiral and stranger are those siblings
the extinction is the youngest sibling that likes to annoy everyone
the eye and the web get along pretty well actually
the lonely and the corruption are mortal enemies and can't stand to be within a 40 meter radius of one another
the lonely insults everyone and no one can tell if its being serious about hating them or if its still just going through its angst phase
the dark and the buried get along well too
i tried to post this like five times today but every time i fell asleep 😕
"those siblings" is something you'll only truly understand if you have siblings, and spiral and stranger are them
UPDATE: TYSM for the HUGE amount of love on this and since a few requested I do have prints of these! You can find them here: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/unravy/ ❤
"Obviously, I’m going to tell you if I see any good cows."

“I open the door!”
these two are a two pieces sequence drawings, but made a year apart lmao
It’s only episode 1 and Sam already be on that Eye bullshit. He’s perfect prey for the Beholding and we know it. His, “but what is this, specifically?” “why?” “who started all of this?” the incessant questions, the need to know. Samama Khalid, I know what you are. 👁️
I love all the avatars who are like “the Eye is silly and I’m not afraid of it or it’s power” and then immediately go “but you’re a silly little man and just for that, I’m gonna tell you my entire life story.”
alright so! this is one of my first animatics, i hope u guys like it, and id love to do the whole song eventually its got some genius lyrics for tma (its forest by twenty one pilots btw, a blast from the past) id be thankful if u reblogged it!! alright thats all bye
i got a comment from one of my patreon supporters about a Magnus Archives/Saw crossover, which got me thinking which characters would be aligned with which Fears?
so here's Amanda as Slaughter, Adam as the Web, and Lawrence as the Beholding
istg if i see another post with something having too many eyes saying its the beholding, i am going to scream. yes, the beholding is all about eyes, but just because something has eyes doesnt mean its beholding. as much as i hate to quote jurgan lightner " you're thinking too literally. examining the physical categorization, but ignoring the meaning of the thing."
i personally believe that eyes being were they shouldnt be/more than usual is the flesh or the stranger or the spiral. its body horror not beholding. yes, it has beholding undertones, but ultimately something else (again, probably the flesh)
