TMA SPOILERS A somewhat old Magnus Archives thing I drew (because surprisingly BSD isn’t my only obsession)

I call it the yaaasification of Joseph Grimaldi

Gossip girls ✨ sticker designs for my redbubble
I have a very strange variety of special interests one of which includes joseph grimaldi the actual real historical figure
I could info dump about his life for hours but I also hyperfixated on tma which features (granted briefly) joseph grimaldi
and now I can't find posts just about joey they're all tma which is OK but I want my depressed clown man posts
it also means that I do have a lot of questions for jonny about the timeline of joseph grimaldis life within tma universe
Random Thoughts About the Magnus Archives
I feel like something's being said about your personality depending on which avatars you like and which ones you want to drop dead, I just don't know what. Like, anytime Peter showed up, I'd be like "You're a bitch ass, go away." But anytime distortion Michael made an appearance, I'd be like "That's my baby boy!" And there are a few that are kind of in between. Like with Nikola, I was like "You freak me the fuck out, but you're funny, so I guess that evens it out."
I think it's so interesting how despite a lot of the characters not getting any physical descriptions, a lot of artists in the fandom draw them the same way. Like, Melanie almost always has colorful hair, usually blue. Jon's hair gets longer with every season. Helen is almost always wearing purple. I just wonder how everyone unanimously agreed on some of this stuff.
I thought the Leitner rant was a canon thing, so I avoided anything about it 'cause I wanted to be surprised. I think near the end of the series though I finally looked it up and I was like "What!? This was a fan thing?" Totally hilarious though, I kind of felt the same way about Leitner.
The inside jokes are fucking hilarious, like the "homophobic vase." Or we have classics like "I just listened to the episode where the guy has sex with a bug." "Oh, which one?" and "Peter and Elias are definitely divorced."
Seeing what episodes scared people and which ones had people going "Actually, that sounds kind of nice" was very interesting. Like, episode 57 where the guy was stuck all alone in space? Emotionally destroyed me. But then others would be like "Yo, being able to be all alone in space with no one to bother me? Sign me up."
Also interesting to see which Fears scared people the most and which ones they think they would end up serving. I think the Buried scared me the most. Episodes 15, 132, and 195 freaking terrified me. I'd probably end up serving the Lonely, I remember thinking "Oh, that's me," with a lot of episodes, particularly episodes 159, 170, 186. It was a weird combination of "I'm in this statement and I don't like it" and "I actually feel seen." Like a weird mix of being called out and also kind of validated because I felt like my thoughts and feelings were finally being put into words and that meant somebody else had gone through the same thing.
What were some popular fan theories that ended up not coming true? I think I saw somewhere that a lot of people were theorizing that Martin would join the Web before he ended up serving the Lonely instead. People often say Gravity Falls fans grew up to be Magnus Archives fans and I remember Gravity Falls fans going crazy with some of the theories. And even if some of them ended up not happening, they're still really interesting.
I love how a lot of the characters do shitty things, but you completely understand why. Like, Melanie's wrong for blaming Jon for a lot of things that go wrong, but you understand that she feels trapped like an animal in a cage, so she's just lashing out. Or Tim is kind of an asshole in season 3, but you understand because he went through a lot of the same trauma that Jon did, he's just reacting with anger instead of paranoia.
I've been watching a lot of fan animations for this show and a lot of the comments are like "I checked out the Magnus Archives because of this video!" And the same thing happened to me too. Did you guys see any fan animations that made you decide to give this show a go?
When people draw Jon with long hair, they draw him like he’s the prettiest man alive and I love it. That or ends up looking like Jesus or Bruno Madrigal
I see every day things like a spiral shaped object or a spider and I jokingly think “Is that a Magnus Archives reference?” Or I’ll be listening to a song and think “Hmm, that could go in a Lonely playlist” or “Ooo, that so fits with the Vast.”
nikola and michael/helen fans be like:

Details for doing business with the Circus of the other (and making it out alive and with your skin intact)
So, you are an avatar or some other person wishing to correspond with the Circus of the Other for whatever reason. If you want to make it out unharmed then here are some things to keep in mind:
1: make sure to get a nametag from the Ringmaster, this isn’t for people there to know your name, no it’s just so they know not to skin you.
2: do not open the two delivery men’s coffin. They won’t stop you or anything but let’s just say you’ll meet a horrible fate.
3: do not break or damage the taxidermy or you will be joining the taxidermy.
4: do not bring C4 or other explosives with you.
5: do not mention Cirque Du Soleil as they don’t like them. (The less you know about it the better)
6: do not compare them to Cirque Du Soleil, as that’s basically asking for a death sentence.
7: Generally just don’t ask any questions and just keep walking when you see something weird or disturbing.
Tma x mechs crossover au where suddenly, the Toy Soldier and Nikola gain the ability to travel between the two universes and become instant friends. Also Nikola would probably mess with the Mechs crew by pretending to be the toy soldier since she has the same voice as TS and also happens to be an inanimate object. Maybe the Toysoldier would end up being an honorary member of the circus? Jonny’s reaction to seeing nikola would probably end up being 3 words. “Great. There’s two.”
I really need to stop getting au ideas.
Art Request: your fav avatar but if their fear was swapped? E.g Jon as an avatar of the Stranger
I decided to go more all out with this request

Here’s Nikola Orsonov as an Eye avatar. She was originally not a shadow, but then I messed up the skin tone and decided to just cover it up with black. Watercolours are unfortunately one of the least forgiving paints in my opinion. Anyway I wanted to keep her showmanship so I made her a psychic who’s predictions are deeply specific and personal to the person she’s giving a reading to, down to things they have never told any one, and once those predictions are made they always end up coming true. Since the eye can’t predict the future it works more in that it makes the future happen after the prediction is made. Also in proper fear entity fashion the predictions are always horrible in some way.
To steal an eye
Ever since season 3, I wondered what would happen if Nikola took Jonah's eyes. Bc we already know that Nikola can borrow vocal chords, why not eyes? Except, obviously Jonah possesses ppl using their eyes.
So either Nikola would have Beautiful New Eyes, or Jonah would be a mannequin.
OR (and this is the only correct choice), because the Eye and Stranger are (more or less) separate fears, you'd end up in a stalemate where neither one can fully gain control. Perhaps Jonah can see and move one hand and one leg, but Nikola can talk and move the other limbs.
Imagine them flailing around. Hilarious. Nikola would have fun with it, but poor Jack Magnet would be so annoyed the whole time and all his plans derailed and nobody respects him anymore! :)
