“I’m not going to kill a man just because you’re jealous.”
“Why not?”
Very self indulgent Magnus Archives Timelord AU.
- Gertrude Robinson is the previous regeneration of the Time Lord known as The Archivist
- The Archivist (Gertrude) had several companions who are all her canon archive assistants
- The Archivist’s sonic is a Lighter
-Tell me Michael Shelley’s fate isn’t some tragic companion level shit, you can’t
- Gerard Keay is trapped something reminiscent of the Lux Foundation Library Data Core, as opposed to a actual book
- Annabelle Cane is a Gallifreyan Time Lady and has a magnificent spider web collar
- Jonah Magnus is the most common alias of the rouge Time Lord known as The Pupil, his regenerations are just his canon bodies
- Peter Lukas is The Pupil’s on and off again traveling companion
- Daisy and Basira are called in after the phrase “The Archivist” is picked up on emergency call in the same vein as the emergency system in Aliens one London
- Section 31 officers occupy the same space as UNIT
- Most of the actual statements and events could straight up just be doctor who episodes, just substitute out “aliens” for “weird stuff”
- Tim, Sasha, Not!Sasha, Martin, Basira and Melanie are all companions, Daisy and Georgie tag along sometimes but not often
- Melanie King still very much runs a ghost hunting show, and I honestly can’t believe that hasn’t been the premise for an actual Doctor Who companion yet
- The Archivist (Jon) can’t really remember what their previous regeneration was doing because they (Gertrude) locked their memories in an attempt to sabotage The Pupil
- Martin steps up and introduces himself as, and stands in for, The Archivist several times when The Archivist is unavailable
- The Forsaken is a pocket dimension
- Trevor and Julia use the Library as a trap to lure in supernatural creatures and are reoccurring characters because I said so
Feel free to add more I just wrote down what I was actively thinking about.
Day thirteen of doing a doodle for every episode of the Magnus archives, until I get bored. Our first live statement boys! This episode is also the first time I picked up on one of my favorite mechanics of the series, although I didn’t realize it until later obviously, but I was sitting listening to the live statement and going “wow this sounds really polished and well put together, I wish the acting was a little more natural” and obviously, surprise! That’s a feature not a flaw!
no it's not fog, Peter just vapes
Meet me down by the coast I'll be waiting there for you Until the ocean tides rise And swallow the sky I'll be waiting there for you
Thinking about him
The Magnus Archives AU where everything is the same but the avatar of the Lonely is Mitski
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.
Thoughts? Comments? “Hey this character could fit this system!”? Let me know! Reblogs are appreciated!
Dude I'm so glad I desided to look at you page after you promised that wonderful bribe that was cross-over fanfiction. Cause your pinned is 100% very cool and swag and right. The narrator is 100% a web and eye avatar n id argue the parable itself is a domain of the spiral. You know, loopin madness n all that.
Ah!! Thank you! I’m so glad you did and enjoy my funky system! Trying to “pspspsps” votes for Narry anyway I can!
Absolutely! I’ve seen The Parable used as a Spiral domain a few times so I absolutely agree! I’m mostly focusing on the people in this AU rather than the places so, Spiral Narrator it is!
I do hope that The Narrator wins so I can talk about The End/The Lonely Stanley as well! Hehe <3!
VOTE FOR NARRY!! HE MUST WIN!
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?
