Why MothJohn when OwlJohn?

Okay so like being serious here; what's with everyone assigning Monster Johnathan Sims into being a Moth? Why can't he be an owl?

This has bugged me an inordinate amount and in true Eye Lady fashion, I'm gonna try to prove my propaganda ideation has merit (and also unravel this bloody mess).

--------------------------------------

Please help me unravel this with your own theories/responses/knowledge this is critical for my AO3 Magnus x (OwnSeries) AU

--------------------------------------

Points for OwlJohn:

Owl symbolism in the Magnus Institute's logo

Owls (mainly the Little Owl) are associated with the Greek Goddess Athena (Goddess of Wisdom, Warfare and Handicrafts), and the Eye is a Wisdom-based Entity fragment.

Being an Owl (Athena) puts them at odds with Spider (Arachne), thus being reflective of the Eye (Watching) and Web (Acting) mindsets.

Harpy John! Like, hello???? Bird wings??? Being a big floofy owl creature like Eda Clawthorne from The Owl House????

Owls blink super quickly so like, metaphor for not being able to close eyes?

Points for MothJohn (so far)

Mentions of a 'chrysalis' in MAG 162

Death's-head Hawkmoths are apparently tied to supernatural/evil things?????? [Source: Wikipedia..? (i cant remember)]

Moths apparently represent transformation and rebirth??? [Source: some website labelled the "Tarrant Country College" idk i took a cursory glance]

If I've missed anything, please tell me because I'm genuinely curious for the sake of the Magnus-(Own Series) AU I'm cooking on AO3.

Might even try cooking a MothJohn vs OwlJohn propo image, or use one of my Archivist OCs for the Magnus-(OwnSeries) AU. Or both. Or all three.

(Also yes I know about Sphinx!Jonn and Dragon!John variations but there's no. bloody. owls.)

Freedom by Wham!

(My alt history Jonathan Sims fic features it quite heavily and I just love old rock in general)

ATTENTION

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

THE AGENDA GROWS LETS BLOODY GOO 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Welcome to the Owl party! I love the floofy hair and the claw-like hands sm!

I saw people drawing Jon with owl features so...

Bro it's Jmart day???

So whipping out the computer when I'm home and typing the Jmart AU meet you will see it very soon (in 9 ~ 22 hrs-ish depending on when we get back from Toowoomba)

If you want early context of this Jmart, see fic posts

Update [8:43pm (9hrs)]: It's not finished. Defs will be closer to the 22hr mark. Jmart fics sadly don't fall from trees.

Oh god not another one-

Soo... I got possessed again by The Web, so Eye Lady is once again breaking tradition, being brave, and shoving this down for all of you to witness. 

It is the perfect (in my opinion) fic for Jon lovers, Jon protectors and those who really don’t want Jonah to exist (I deleted him for you :D). I plan to update it weekly, and Chapter 2 is already written and ready for timed posting.

So ye... behold!

Summary:

In most other universes, Mr Spider succeeds in Marking Jonathan "Jon" Sims with the power of The Web at the tender age of 8 years old.

This action would begin a spiral of circumstances that, in most cases, leads the young boy to the Magnus Institute, where one manipulative piece of work twists him into nothing more than a cosmic lynchpin for an apocalyptic ritual that may or may not come to pass.

But in this timeline, a Desolation-Huntresses, a Private Eye and an End-Beholding Sectioned Officer get in the way, burning Mr Spider, his book and his domain before the young boys' eyes.

Ever since, Jonathan Sims has done everything he can to repay the favour, training under the Desolation-Huntress, burning any Leitner he finds, and fighting off the wrath of the supernatural. He has friends to help him with his goals, and all in all, life is... manageable.

Yet on quiet nights, a question tends to resurface... one no one seems to have an answer to.

What did Mr Spider mean when it called him Little Archive? -------------------- AKA; A retrospective on the life of Leitner Hunter Jonathan "Jon" Sims, beginning from the burning of Mr Spider.
