This Is Vaguely Ominous But Will Do

this is vaguely ominous but will do 🫡

POSSIBLE TMA SPOILERS

currently on MAG 138: The Architecture of Fear tn and i’m totally spitballing here.

Okay so The Watcher’s Crown ritual has been bugging me lately, I couldn’t figure out what exactly it was.

And then I started thinking about Jon’s scars.

the scalpel wound from Melanie - The Slaughter

the knife wound from Daisy - The Hunt

the worm burrow holes from Prentiss - The Corruption

the burn in his hand from Jude Perry - The Desolation

the ribs he let Jared Hopworth take - The Flesh

the five stitches he needed after Michael stabbed him - The Spiral

add on when he was just free falling bc of Mike Crew which had to leave some kind of damage, even if it’s not physical - The Vast

and the fact he’s the avatar for The Beholding - The Eye

plus his emotional trauma from A Guest for Mr. Spider - The Web

that’s 8 out of the 14 entities. he’s collecting scars/traumas from each of them. one could even say he’s collecting a jewel for each of them…

That has to be The Watcher’s Crown, he has to have first-hand encounters with each of them or something like that to complete his ritual.

AND I BET THAT’S WHY MARTIN IS SUDDENLY SO INVOLVED WITH PETER LUKAS AND THE LONELY WAIT A DMAN SECOND YALL-

just finished MAG158 and out of EVERY manipulator i was expecting this season: Elias, Peter, maybe even Jon, MARTIN K BLACKWOOD WAS NOT ONE OF THEM BUT OH MY STARS DO I LOVE HIM FOR IT?! ABSOLUTELY ICON?!

also SO MUCH JUST HAPPENED?! NOT SASHA?! DAISY?! MARTIN TALKING ABOUT JON?! ELIAS AND JONAH?! I-

i’m in tears, my heart has been ripped out of my chest.

“If you do so, you are almost certainly not coming back. To go into The Lonely willingly is as good as death.” “How do I do it?” OUCH?!

Atsushi Nakajima you don't deserve to be so criminally underrated in your own show

“my ship kissed!” “my ship held hands!!!” okay. well. my ship had holes in it and was doomed to sink from the very moment of its departure. my ship flipped and drowned all the passengers. my ship had a sail that only faced windward. my ship’s home had always been at the bottom of the ocean floor. my ship is stained with barnacles and prone to heavy winds. my ship’s dock isnt waiting for it to return. And they still didnt fuck even once

i love how tma introduces canon vampires and immediately glosses over them. yeah we have vampires here. who the fuck even cares. we’ve got bigger fish to fry jonathan

I used to hate using ‘love’ liberally. I felt it was a sacred word only to be used in very special occasions. Now that I’m older, I’ve come to the realization that love should be shared and felt and received with reckless abandon. Love these characters, love this food, love things in the moment, even if they may seem tiny and insignificant to others. I think it makes life a little more soft around the edges.
