Would it be possible to maybe get a magnus archives character, but specifically an avatar of one of the fears and helps document things and keeps an eye on potentially damaging headmates and like. Maybe can just keep an eye on folks in general, I don't have a lot of ideas for them, and we don't know a lot about the source ourselves, but i feel Jonny might benefit from some general help- thank you if you can! No worries if you can't :) all addons please, I love hoarding information about headmates

YAY!! Magnus Archives request YIPPEE!!! Given that you want to have this headmate document and observe things, I’m going to go with an eye avatar. If you’d like an avatar of another fear, PLEASE don’t hesitate to ask! (seriously we love this podcast and would be so happy to do more of them) In the meantime: here’s your pack! Hopefully they’re helpful to Jonny, and I hope you love your new swarm!

Note: I've only just realized after making this that you said a character, and I'm not sure if you meant a pre-existing one. Hm. Hopefully I didn't give you a non-canon one when you wanted a canon character. If you wanted a canon character, let us know and we'll get right on that! So sorry about that.

Name(s): Theia, Crystal, Osiris (also, if you do last names for headmates, might I suggest that you find the last name of a famous horror author? Perhaps Maurier?)

Dislikes: Unanswered questions/unsatisfied curiosity, disorganization, forgetting things

Favorite color: Blue

Favorite music: Anything that doesn’t require too much attention; xe likes having music in the background while doing things. Maybe music in a language ey don’t know.

perchance may i get puddleshine from warrior cats with a beetle add on ^_^

Apologies for the wait! Been a bit busy of late, and have (surprisingly) never read Warrior Cats, so it took a little longer than usual! Given that we are unfamiliar with the character requested, we cannot guarantee full accuracy, and apologize in advance for any potential inaccuracies. There were some things we couldn’t find answers for online and so we filled in gaps where needed, as well. However, I hope you still love your new beetle!

Hi!! :D

if there's any small bah blogs out there...please reveal yourself i yearn for more blogs to request from

- 🌸🍓

[bug-bah]

I have a challenge for you! take your all time favorite character (or one of them) and then.. make a songtive of a song you associate with them!! with the beetle add on, plus any other if you see fit

Okay, first of all, this is SUCH a great request, and I had so so SO much fun with it. Now, all-time favorites aren’t really a thing for us (many different opinions combined with shared ADHD means that we have many favorites and none of them stay the current favorite for super long), so we went with one of our current favorites: Jedidiah Martin from CHNT! As for what song that means: The Bug Collector by Haley Heynderickx! Hope you love the beetle!

They enjoy peace and quiet, but don’t mind energetic people or situations much either. Very go-with-the-flow, very logical, and very calm.

Likes: Comforting others or otherwise being able to help them, warm drinks, writing/journaling, bugs and other small “unloved” creatures, being near close friends

Dislikes: Seeing people star cares about upset, people who are intentionally unkind

Y’all are fast! 10 minutes later and we already have three requests! We’re working on them right now, and requests ARE still open!

Our inbox has been open and empty for over a week! Any systems/collectives/plurals (or soon to be!) looking for a BAH blog to use, please feel free to send something in!

We’re also happy to answer questions about BAH blogs in general if you have them, or about our specific blog!

(Posting this to make it clear that this blog is NOT abandoned! Just no requests lately!)

[bug-bah]

do you know cookie run kingdom or uma musume?

We are vaguely familiar with both, but don’t know much about either of them. We would be happy to do some research on one or both if needed for a pack, though!

Just know that if we do need to do research for a pack, it may take slightly longer, and we can’t guarantee 100% accuracy to canon characters if that’s what you’re looking for.
