My teeth began elongating and becoming flaccid until they turned into foot-long bony worms, and then one of the worms said to me, “The one standing in infinite glory is you; the one fallen from grace is also you. What matters is ‘you’ and not the state of you.”
Behold! You've done it again. We want to take 'em all home and give 'em treats and wrap 'em up warm. Keep an eye on your dash on Monday to see the whole menagerie in full swing! And never fear. We'll still share your dazzling costume creations in the afterglow of Halloween proper next Tuesday.

Introduction of both this au’s villains, and more Dart lore! This is for the au we’re Raz is 20 btw.
Firstly, Agatha was working on her reanimated dead in secret, her company makes toxin based weapons basically but they're still not Really doing anything illegal that people know about. The reason people started finding out is that she was dumping "unsuccessful" ones out of the drainage pipes in her factory and they began walking around and terrorizing people. Lili, Raz, Dogen, n Kitty were sent to the city her company's in (dubiously New York City) to sleuth out what was going on! They don't immediately figure out it's her, Dex gets wrapped up into it because of the zombies using C.R.I.M.E. tech. Agatha tried to be super friendly n sponsoring the psychonauts agents at first in order to lead them in the wrong direction ! Kinda a mix between Syndrome and Mirage from the Incredibles plot wise.
She eventually reanimates Dante, but noott very well. All of Agatha's zombies r basically puppeted around by mechanical parts and some psychic tech. Dante is only conscious after she reanimates him too bc he had his brain stored when he died! Agatha's reanimated dead are also reanimated a while after death, whereas Dart was reanimated almost immediately so Dante is practically falling apart compared to her. Dante is definitely not the main villain, and Really does care about Dart, especially since he went through so much effort to keep her alive after he died, but Agatha reanimates him so they can rediscover that same method that worked with dart. Which might become a conflict of interest between Agatha n Dante in the future.
When Dante was alive, he did actually Try to parent Dart, but so much of his time was iust devoted to his experiments and work and cult stuff and holing himself up in his office that they were distant regardless. I mean Dart was kind of just an experiment that he didn't even think would work and he got attached too- there were a good 3 or so years that Dante was sick and dying (probably harmful material exposure let's be honest) and they just Didn't talk about it. They both knew but they didn't discuss stuff like that. I mean they had heart to hearts sometimes but the last time Dart really saw him before he died was kinda 'you're dying and we both know it'. Even when Dante was alive, Dart was really trying to run away from anything ‘supernatural’ or ‘weird’ or dangerous and just live a normal life. That’s kind of why she started going to whispering rock, but after the brain snatching incident she just hid in the outhouse the whole time and then stopped going after.

The tenth in my series of tams inspired by The Magnus Archives, one for each of Smirke’s fifteen fears!
This time: The Corruption!
The pattern features worms, flies, ants, honeycombs, and mold motif that is knitted with two colors held together to give it that sickly, mottled appearance.
[ID: A drawing of Jane Prentiss from The Magnus Archives, a young white woman with long, wavy, brown-black hair. She wears a red dress with straps and is covered in black and white holes, a few of which have grey worms in them. She is drawn from the waist-up, her arms are crossed, her head is tilted to the side, she is smiling, and her eyes are closed. The background is grey-brown and covered in holes. In the top-right corner is brown text, an extract from MAG 32: Hive, the paragraph beginnning "There is a wasps’ nest in my attic…" END ID]
