ooc question: is there a specific place in the canon timeline where this blog is right now?

Hi! OOC answer here!,

I am horrid at timelines. I have to admit. So I am bound to make mistakes. Partly because I am simply too lazy to figure it all out. I like to think this is where the Archives were less than stable. The lonely was starting to infiltrate. Elias is almost in prison. Jonathan is actively getting kidnapped here and there and gets these amazing cravings to asking for peoples statements. I think this part wasnt touched on nearly enough (I just really like the loss of humanity in Jonathan). Im not sure what season this was happening but I am guessing around season 4. Atleast, before Jonathan finds out what sort of trap he ended up in.

Bye!

[TMA AU RP/IC Blog - Info under cut]

[RBs to spread the word are welcome!]

Basic Info:

This is an in character (IC)/roleplay (RP) blog for an AU of The Magnus Archives, in which The NotThem replaces Jonathan Sims and becomes The Archivist. This is not an enjoyable position for him.

I (the writer) go by Corpse and use He/They/It. I am an adult, and don't mind minors interacting, but I want them to be aware.

All art is by me unless RBed or otherwise stated.

I don't mind Non-RP Blogs interacting with me. Most posts (excluding things tagged #Lit RP or #OOC Post) are meant to be understood as NotJon using tumblr, so other people on tumblr are welcome to interact.

Out of Character (OOC) posts will be tagged with #OOC Post. ((Writing like this is also OOC text.))

I will do my best to tag things, but I am human and will make mistakes, so if I miss something, please just let me know.

I follow from @graduallywatermellon (Note: my main is a mess. Do not look there lmao)

THIS BLOG WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRETY OF TMA, BUT ESPECIALLY SEASONS 1-3.

ooc: timeline post!!!!! important to knowing how gerry becomes archivist

things go mostly the same except the cancer starts affecting gerry later— he gets to london and chills for a bit. eventually he has to be hospitalized. gertrude dies and gerry is almost dead in the hospital when elias comes in and does the thing oliver did with jon (except much more manipulative in stinky bastard jonah fashion). elias manipulates him into not only becoming an eye avatar but also into becoming the archivist. he convinces him by showing how gerry would be able to prevent ppl from being affected by the entities n stuff. gerry accepts because he wants to and fuck up the fears and he’s too delirious from fucking dying to realize this is a bad idea. he becomes an eye avatar and gains an end mark from evading death when he wasn’t supposed to.

I just had my first happy day at the circus yesterday. Highly recommend Halloween as a medicine for being miserable in the place you work/live at

[martins-taperecorder]

so, uh… you know how Jon has a habit of getting kidnapped? I… don’t really think it’s because he’s the archivist. I mean, that’s definitely part of it, but… the other “options” per say, are Guy Who Can Vanish Into Thin Air, A Literal Cop, Stabby Teen, and Buff Woman Who’s Also A Werewolf I Guess. I guess Tim could’ve been pretty easily kidnapped, but uh… also not exactly the most cooperative… with Jon you just have to pick him up and throw him over your shoulder, he weighs like… four grapes.

when a fic is incredibly ooc but it’s so damn cute and you respect the grind so you read it anyway.

hey guys!

anyone who is running a blog with images (this won't work for just text posts iirc), don't forget to generate a backup of your blog from your blog settings~. This will create a ZIP file with all the images you've posted in chronological posting order. It's pretty good to at least generate now and then imo even if you have no intentions of downloading it anytime soon~

despite the world and life's best and worst efforts, i lived bitch

to make a long story short without getting into toooo much shit, i think ive spoken on here about how ive had a coworker in my job that is a total idiot. and this guy's MOM hired him (she is directly under the owner of the company in terms of power too, she is my boss's boss for context) and he. does not have a shred of work ethic. so guess who, for the PAST YEAR+, had to do the job of 2-3 people as one person.... i was doing 2-4 hours of overtime PER WEEK FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR!!! keep in mind i work 4 days a week, 10 hours per day. so. 11-12+ hour days for my entire work week. and what i had thought was maybe adhd issues was really asd related instead so love that we figured that out finally!!

i was also having severe meltdowns multiple times a week since i was so overwhelmed and so overstimulated with work, along with being in a new environment (ive been in my house now for over a year so i think ive adjusted at this point yay), along with other personal things that happened (my grandma died last march during all of this, so trying to get our house stuff in order with loans and signing shit and all that, working obscene overtime, trying to get the house in order, getting into an accident in november and getting sick...) i was like, in a mental crisis for basically a year.... and just in general in my own mind i felt like i didnt really fit in/belong anywhere and felt outcast (some of which i did feel i brought onto myself and was partly mutually beneficial in some aspects as to not get into too many details) so i just. cut off everything with this hobby cold turkey. cause even with my other hobby like playing games, i didnt have the mental energy/spoons to engage there either.

and before anyone says anything like girl why did you not just quit you job?? um. lmao. anyone in the us knows how AWFUL this job market is right now, and on top of that i have a mortgage and adult shit to deal with so quitting a secure job where i do at least wfh AND have senority is like.... i understand, i thought about it but we cannot support our household even on just my bf's income even though he makes more than me. that is just how it is on this bitch of an earth, and ive learned a lot about myself and come to terms with a lot of things.

i can say that in the past few months, things are WAAAAY WAY BETTER. like night and day levels of better. like, i dont even know the person i was last year vs now, but i wish i could go back to last year and hug myself and tell her things would be ok. my dogshit coworker really isnt in my role anymore, they hired another person and she actually is a REAL help and has work ethic and im not constantly rushing in my job, or having to do 12 hour days anymore. i make more money too and feel a LOT more mentally stable, and ive utilized coping mechanisms that have helped me. i still have my days just like anyone else yknow, BUT its way better. no more constant weekly meltdowns (its been like, once a month MAYBE, if that, if im feeling overstimulated or overwhelmed with something), and ive been able to engage in my hobbies more meaningfully again.

which brings me to here i guess. this long spiel isnt a way to absolve myself of just. disappearing and worrying the shit out of people, im just trying to explain why it happened and what happened cause i would not wish any of this on anyone. it was a miserable way to live and i dont know how i made it and how i survived and i mean that.

i just want to apologize to anyone that was worried because at the very least i should have tried to make an effort to make it known that i needed to step back from everything. i chose myself and my own mental wellbeing first this time, which is fine, but the way i went about it wasn't too cool in terms of just. not telling anyone or saying anything. so i really am sorry if anyone was worried or upset, i understand 100% that i have not been a good friend and i understand if anyone wants to keep their distance for a lil bit!!

idk what this all really means for me, i miss dawn and all of my other characters a lot. a looooot and i miss this hobby. ive started being able to actually enjoy playing games again and writing was the other big hobby i had that i had trouble engaging with, so i guess. maybe a little soft comeback? just please have some patience with me cause. the time blindness is so real, wdym its been like almost a year since ive done anything in the rpc.... i dont even know wtf is going on anymore or like. who all is around still. but im here and im alive!

if anyone wants to reach out at all on disc to talk or catch up or plot (i really have come to realize too that i just suck bad at plotting so sry in advance orz) its chaos.reigns 💃 that goes for any of my muses too, not just dawn but also serena/yveltal too

thank you for reading my novel ass ooc post i hope everyone has been well in these trying times 💖
