#and I think there’s also other reasons why people would sooner say Jon is Paul

[nightswatchdisbandmentera]

My spicy 🌶️ asoiaf hot take of the day is that if we look at his character arc in terms of what it takes and costs to be a hero, to the extent that one has to lose their own humanity and become something that can be considered monstrous to save thousands/millions, Jon Snow’s Dune parallel is actually Leto II. In this essay, I will-

As a Magnus fan and a Starkid/Hatchetfield fan I need to just let out my thoughts on what Fears the characters would serve, Starting with Paul. :33 (I will be skipping some characters for the sake of it)

Paul is basically the person you WOULDN’T expect to serve a fear, right? Average man, average job, average friends. All so average…anyway, He’s more or less against killing until literally pushed to the APOCALYPSE. So no slaughter, or flesh, or hunt, I’d say. I propose the Stranger. His entire thing is being average and nothing more or less than. He already kind of carries that ‘Abnormal and uncanny’ look of normalcy. So that’s him.

Emma is the slaughter I think, if she wasn’t how she was or if she didn’t have Paul or whoever keeps her from becoming an agar of it I feel like all of that could boil over into her her becoming something of a killing machine. Though I personally can’t really find a better suiting one for her, lmk if you can.

Ted is tricky. Because he’s the Homeless Man I would have said Flesh or Slaugher but, in most hatchetfield things he seems destined to death. Which is why I am ore inclined to believe he would unknowingly serve The End.

(Skipping Black Friday since I never even finished it)

Richie!! :3. I feel like he would think he was Lonely because of his Love of anime and I feel like he could view himself as something important that way, if Magnus was an anime then he would think his Love Interest would save him from it like Martin and Jon AND because he is a teen, of course he’s gonna have all that angst. His ‘nobody gets me’ could make him think he is lonely but he isn’t. He also isn’t any of the more prominently aggressive fears like Slaughter, Hunt, Flesh Etc. I feel like he could be a vast avatar, actually. And willingly. He would get the thrill of the fall, or the joy watching others experience it and have less than a fun time. He would be more like the Lightning one, he doesn’t actively go out into the world and make people feel that. He enjoys his own space in his own home. But he’d still use his abilities if necessary.

Grace would be the web, at least in my head. Her first instinct was to lie, was to manipulate and get her way. Which worked, the first time. The only reason she never started manipulating sooner was because of her upbringing. She could have been much more of a powerful and smart manipulator were it not for her parents.

I have tried finding one for Peter but it’s tough for me, he could be an eye avatar. Unknowingly getting a position where he will know everything with all of the cons of being an eye avatar. He could be a web avatar as well but there’s Less that I can think of to support that. My current thoughts are eye.

Max is very clearly Slaughter or The Hunt. His reason for killing wasn’t vengeance, in his own words ‘the world is too well behaved’ and when attacking Richie he seemed more than inclined to let Richie get the sense that somebody could help, as to why he screamed Help in the beginning of npmd, he took thrill in the sense of Hunting Richie. He hunted further in the scenes before The Summoning. Which is why I’m a tad more inclined to believe he’s a Hunt avatar closely related to Slaughter rather than the other way around.

These are just my thoughts though. :33
