Multi-Fear Avatar Brainrot
It’s a concept that’s been on my mind for a hot minute now especially now that I’m relistening to The Magnus Archives. Is this a possibility? How would it work? Who could be a Dual- or Tri- Avatar? Well, friends, I’ve had too many a hot shower to think on this so here we go.
What is a Dual- or a Tri- Avatar?
A dual- or a tri- Avatar are the unfortunate souls who have completed the death requirement for Avatarship for multiple Entities. They also have to be able to handle the pulls and hunger from multiple Entities. The highest number of Entities we’ve seen one Avatar serve is three. Four or more Entities sharing one Avatar is deemed impossible.
Different Avatar Relationships
The different dual- and tri- Avatar relationships are as follows:
Dominant: The Entity being fed and used the most. Usually the first Entity to claim the Avatar. Holds the most sway. If not fed, ruins and affects the entire system.
Cooperative: Entities have equal amount of power with the Avatar. Feeding processes usually involve feeding both at the same time. Usually present in Entities that rely on each other (i.e. Buried and Vast). The easiest option on the Avatar itself. No power struggles.
For Tri-Avatarship:
Co-Dominant: Rare. An extremely special case in which both Dominant entities are related to the same death. They must occur at the same time or else will result in one Dominant and multiple Passives.
Co-Passive: Passives can occur at separate times and do not have to be related to one another to feed off the actions of the Dominant. However, when related to one another, the feeding process is much easier.
Passive: The Entity that feeds usually from the actions of the Dominant. Still present in the Avatar and will have its own feeding rituals sometimes. If left unfed, doesn’t take down the whole system but begins to inhibit the use of the Dominant.
Most Common Types
A Dominant/Passive relationship is the most common in dual-Avatars. A Dominant/Passive 1/Passive 2 is the most common in tri-Avatars. Any dual- Avatar with Cooperative or any tri-Avatar with Dominant/Co-Passive relationship can consider themselves the luckiest with their lot. A tri-Avatar with a fully Cooperative relationship has yet to be seen.
Examples
Barnabas Bennett (MAG 92) - Barnabas could have easily become a cooperative dual-Avatar of The Lonely and The Web. In his letter to Jonah Magnus, he states his enjoyment of being alone as well as the fact that he doesn’t have much family or connections. During his entrapment in The Lonely, Barnabas was able to manipulate the outside world through his actions in The Lonely. This gives me reason to believe that if he was able to escape The Lonely (through Jonah or other means), he would be able to use this manipulation from The Web through The Lonely in order to feed both Avatars.
The Narrator (The Stanley Parable/The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe): Narry is dealing with a Co-Dominant/Passive Relationship. The Eye and The Web were both present and related to Stanley’s death in the Countdown Ending. When Stanley walks into The Mind Control Facility, he sees all of the screens watching and monitoring him and his co-workers. Going further into the facility reveals that his actions and emotions were being controlled. Stanley tries to take control of the facility himself. The Narrator begins the Countdown Ending, showing Stanley that he doesn’t have a choice in the matter. The Narrator is the one in control. The Entities bonded themselves to The Narrator at Stanley’s death and bonded themselves together since they were both equally present. The Spiral was tacked on later during the Mariella Ending where Stanley walks through an endless loop of corridors. This causes an existential crisis and he succumbs to the madness. The Spiral is usually fed by the insanity induced by the feeling of being controlled and watched. At the moment, The Narrator is only Avatar in my fandoms that I believe can handle three Entities. It makes sense considering he’s usually akin to a god when I write about him.

I have this really funky TMA AU that’s occasionally bounced around in my head for a hit minute now. We have a single episode with Barnabas Bennett and Mordechai Lukas and I latched onto them immediately.
A lovely AU where Barnabas begins to work as a housekeeper for Mordechai in order to pay off his debts rather than being sent to the Lonely. He’s still influenced by the Lonely the more time he spends in the house and even has another entity looking over him as well. It does end up getting romantic as I can’t help but anger the Lonely with romances.
Would y’all be interested in something like that?
Happy One Year (Late) Anniversary to This Post!
This world has updated a lot since this original posting so I thought I’d celebrate with a lil poll and let you all choose what to talk about!
Thank you most especially to @asacolyte and @rightpastnowhere and all of my other friends not on Tumblr who have indulged me in this crazy world. Bless you all.

I rarely ever post my art on here, but I've compiled a bunch of Eye Avatars and their titles on a couple pages so here ya go! A lil dump. Also, Arthur and John Malevolent are on there!
This references the titles I've given them in here. *jazz hands*
Jonah Magnus and his weird harem of men he puts in danger
I get sad. I remember I made Mordebas a 2'3 height difference. I get happy again.
Just had the most vivid imagery of the Regency Era boys singing “First Burn” from Hamilton about Jonah Magnus.
@a-dumbass-jester This is quite literally a take I’ve never seen before and I had to say something about it. That’s unique! I can see the gentle giant thing! I’m personally definitely inspired a lot by the Regency Era Boys art by sneckoil from waayyyy back. To me, he’s the littlest guy, skating out of social interaction because he’s not even in their sightline. Ha! No matter what height he is, we can all agree that he’s baby, yeah?
