Putting That In My Pocket For A Later Idea - Tumblr Posts

TMA Headcanons (Mostly Old Guys (sorry) and Jon & Martin):

- Jonah was taught piano, as any good upper-class victorian man was. And with the power of the Beholding he’s become the perfect sight reader (heh). I imagine his singing voice sounds something like Tom Lehrer, similar dark comedy subject matter too.

- Jonah heard about Lord Byron’s escapades and said “fuck him, I can do it better” and then consequently had to be bailed out of debt by Mordechai Lukas a handful of times, purposefully wrote nonsense books along with his actually accurate accounts of the Occult, and had several affairs with established Avatars.

- Jonah can see through pretty much any vaguely eye-shaped object. This includes the eyes of statues, on graffiti, certain knots in trees, sketches in notebooks or diagrams/textbook visuals, and of course the plenty of signage (Neighborhood Watch, Security, Eyewash stations, seriously why tf are eyes everywhere).

- Simon is routinely hired for the Head of the Institute painted portraits, as Jonah finds it a nice tradition. He’s good at capturing Jonah’s deeply…complex eyes.

- Simon has a deep hatred for The Buried, for obvious reasons. But he also can’t stand being around an instance of it too long before feeling sick. This means all of his previous bodies have either had a burial at sea or (once) shot off into space, no coffin.

- Peter was nearly marked by the Vast as a child because of his preoccupation with the ocean. His fear and yet great interest in its depths couldn’t beat the rigorous training of the The Lonely.

- One of Peter’s more childish ritual ideas was to fabricate a new edition of “Eleanor Rigby” to send into circulation and radioplay. He thinks he could have made it work if he had captured an adequate violinist to mark, but they only ever crumbled under the sadness of their own tune and became lost.

- Once Martin was marked by The Lonely, both Jon and Martin became almost like puppets for Elias and Peter to fuck with each other. “My child is better than your child” type stuff.

- Jon likes moths, especially the ones with eyespots. Martin is afraid of them for the same reason.
