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.

The Eye's Great Chain of Being

Welcome to Part 2 of me and my friends have completely shaken up the TMA universe and other podcasts in the process. This system was created by my lovely friend Nightshade who is not on Tumblr but who has given me full permission to post this and answer any questions about it! Here is how she describes it: "The Eye is an entity of roles, of expectations, and that means a hierarchy. You have a place and you will know it. This system does not necessarily indicate how much power an avatar has (it can give a boost, but your strength can grow with age and experience), but it does indicate how favorable the avatar is to the Eye. The hierarchy is traditionally based on three vectors: Complete/Incomplete: How detailed is the information you've collected? Infinite/Finite: What subjects can you gather? Record/Recollection: What is the nature of the information you've gathered, how factual? The different combinations of which determine your rank along the hierarchy. For example: Archivists are among the highest roles, being complete (all details) infinite (any subject) records (entirely factual). The Jeweler ranks lower, being a complete finite record (focused on a specialized task). Of similar level is the Philosopher, being of complete infinite recollections (knows a Lot, but the knowledge is more about thinking and exploring than the facts discovered). The Storyteller is fairly low, being of incomplete infinite recollection (can collect a wide range of stories, but they focus on specific things and aren't always accurate to the event). Now. The Pupil is a unique role, in that it is the lowest, existing merely as a servant to the Eye and those of higher ranks. It doesn't actually have a particular task, not like the Archivist or Jeweler or Philosopher, it just knows things in order to organize or assist. How you go about this servitude though is... up to you." The Chain so far is as follows (and I am more than happy to talk about any of these placements or the lore contained within the chain itself!): The Entropy - Kayne :] The Archivist - Jonathan Sims The Ambassador - Arthur Lester The Broadcast - Cecil Gershwin Palmer The Jeweler - Emer The Luminary - Dr. Aria "Ria" Lynn Bell The Expanse - Dr. Axel M. Wimpren The Doctor - Dr. Jonathan Callaghan Fanshawe The Philosopher - Elliott Meléti The Wanderer Ocelli - Barnabas Lukas-Bennett The Keeper - Cillian Fanshawe Callaghan The Architect - Robert Smirke The Tower - Manphy Lukas-Bennett The Antiquary - Albrecht Von Closen The Storyteller - Thea Brooks (Pupil) The Analyst - Phoebe (Nix) (Pupil) The Manor - Mordechai Lukas-Bennett (Pupil) The Martian - Juno Steel (Pupil) The Doctor - Jonathan Callaghan Fanshawe (Pupil) The Siren Host - Jonah Magnus

The Web Avatars and Their Corresponding Spiders

This is an idea I came up a little bit ago when scrolling through the TMA wiki. So, many of the canon Web avatars are already associated with certain spiders like Annabelle Cane as the Black Widow or Raymond Fielding's episode being called "Recluse" for a Brown Recluse. So, what if each Web avatar (and some specially marked non-Web Avatars) each had a spider associated with them. These spiders manifest in places that the avatar wants them to be and gives them a general sense of what is going on in the room that they are in. The more advanced avatars will be able to control them more and take in more information from their spiders. Here is the list so far (I will avoid putting pictures up for those with arachnophobia, but I do recommend looking them up as they are all so cool): Orion Cerebri - Pretty Orb Weaver Thea Brooks - Sheepy Jumping Spider Barnabas Lukas-Bennett - Regal Jumping Spider. Manphy Lukas-Bennett - Tiny Blue-Faced Peacock Jumping Spider. Cillian Fanshawe Callaghan - European Nursery Web Spider Dr. Jonathan Callaghan Fanshawe - Skeletorus Peacock Jumping Spider Father Ignis Callaghan - Cross Orb Weaver Father Edwin Burroughs - St. Andrew’s Cross Spider Adonis - Dancing White Lady Spider Venari - Huntsman Spider Annabelle Cane - Black Widow Raymond Fielding - Brown Recluse Jasper Alder - Ant-Mimicking Jumping Spider Nell Keelin - Peacock Jumping Spider John Doe - Sparklemuffin Peacock Jumping Spider Arthur Lester - Bunny Harvestman Charlie Dowd Detective Noel Finley - Tuxedo Wolf Spider Kayne - Long Horned Orb Weaver

As always, I would love to talk about the relation of these spiders to these characters. If you want more of the funky things me and my friends have added to the TMA universe (and other podcasts as well), please check out the tag #ocelli expansion pack !

One of my favorite things to see is people make art of Extinction Avatar OCs and it just makes me so happy. Yes!! You include that Extinction! You get a sticker from me. I love how they generally have really explosive (ha) and punk sort of personalities. Ough, I love them. I squish them /pos. It also reminds that I took a COMPLETELY different take when writing about The Extinction with my friends. Mine is a lot more…Lonely flavored? Rather than the event itself, I tend to focus on the world after. The abandoned buildings, the air full of particles, the silence broken by a consistent car alarm. All of this stems from the lack of people. So, when writing Cherry, a personified version of The Extinction (the details are too much for a little post, so I’ll say that The Flesh fucked with The Eye’s ritual and leave it at that), he’s characterized as very reserved and quiet. It's funky! I really like all the different takes on it! This is the music that I usually listen to when writing about him in case you're curious: here and here. That'll give you the vibe that I'm taking about.

I've finished up with Wolf 359! What a wild ride! However, y'all know what time it is because this is the majority of my blog. I feel like Cutter is an Avatar of *something* but I'm not sure what. So, Tumblr consultation it is.
