What Fear would the dust bowl fall under?
I started thinking about it and now I can't stop...
Read more for a brief explanation on what the dust bowl is! (for those who aren't very familiar)
The dust bowl was a time in the 1920-30s where a few of the southern US states blew away (especially Oklahoma). Over farming weakened the topsoil which was then picked up by the wind and blown around in huge storms that would settle like snow drifts. A lot of people and animals died because of dust inhalation and thousands of people lost their homes. It was also a major factor in contributing to the collapse of the US economy at the time. It's actually pretty cool, you should look it up.
Like look at this stuff. That's all dirt.

Imagine having a worm/parasite fetish and encountering The Corruption.
Or having a blood/cannibalism fetish and encouraging The Hunt.
What the fuck would happen? 💀
We need more Jonathan Sims fics where he’s the avatar of another entity.
(Like avatar of The Web Jon, avatar of The Stranger Jon, avatar of The Lonely Jon, etc, etc)
How exactly do avatars work??? Because when I think about it, I think about the Ship of Theseus paradox.
Are they the same person, half of the person, or an entirely new being???
TMA Bracket - The End Being needlessly Dramatic
(29. Cheating Death) Statement of Nathaniel Thorpe regarding his own mortality (man plays a game with death, literally)
(70. Book of the Dead) Statement of Masato Murray regarding an unusual Inheritance and the effects hereafter (spooky book tells you when and where you are going to die)
Magnus Bracket Tumblr Sexyman Édition
91) Statement of Mike Crew, regarding his experiences with the supernatural (aka jon gets yeeted into the vast and daisy goes full hunt mode)
121) Statement of Oliver Banks regarding his dreams and trying to run away (also jon wakes up in this one)
Also!! Ricky Potts uses the Spiral to escape the End (especially considering the focus on creating life through procreation vs ending lives in war) I say the Spiral because, well, have you listened to his song?? Also because it's all a story he's made up but it's told like the truth and that's very spiral of him.
And if anything ever happened to Talia, Mischa Bachinski would fall face-first into the Lonely like Naomi Herne (Mag 13).
If Constance Blackwood was in the TMA universe, I'm curious if anyone else thinks it could have been able to turn her into an Avatar?
Noel Gruber is Corruption-aligned.
And Karnak is literally just Oliver Banks.
I want to connect each Fear with a type of music...
Slaughter would be war marches, like the Piper's.
Maybe Corruption is the 'song' of the worms? Although that's not really a music type... Maybe the glut of love songs?
I feel like Baroque music belongs to the Vast. Maybe that's because I'm partial towards both baroque and Vast, but it can sound so... big
The Web would definitely be company jingles, with how they are used to manipulate peoples' decisions and how you might hum along without meaning to.
Stranger would be easily given circus music.
The End would be funeral hymns, that's pretty simple.
Maybe the Extinction could be those new protest songs about climate change and the state of the world, specifically the ones which point to the problem but never have a call to action. It ends up just raising awareness without hope to change anything.
Any thoughts on Flesh, Hunt, Dark, Eye, Spiral, Buried, Desolation or Lonely?
