Thinking about how the voices are the only confirmed physical presence of Jon Martin and Jonah we have in Protocol

Thinking about how the Archivist's voice was what the Web needed to reach the new realities

Thinking about how the voices were caught on tape representing the web's strings

Thinking about how sound/vibration is a big part of string theory

Thinking about how string theory and quantum mechanics suggests the idea of alternate realities

Thinking about -

SPIDER WIFE

SHE IS THE BEST

I would still catch her in a cup and put her outside though

[laughable-umbrella]

ON MY THIRD LISTEN OF TMA NOW AND I JUST PICKED UP ON THIS ABSOLUTELY DELECTABLE FORESHADOWING TO THE FINALE AAAAHAHSHDJEB

[bee-ina-boat]

heres a collection of concept art for the rest of the entities for the mythos au!! if you're wondering where the eye is, they've been drawn already!

they are all FAR from done. keep in mind these are all just my initial concepts and i plan to do in-depth design sheets as i go to explore their designs more.

IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO IMPROVE THESE DESIGNS PLEASE THROW EM AT ME- MY ANON IS OPEN AND I READ TAGS I DONT CARE JUST!!!! GIMME!!!!!

(also au context: the magnus mythos is an au where the entities are all gods, similar to various religious mythology, rather than paranormal entities that feed on fear)

design thoughts for each of them under the cut

The Web - God of Fate (she/it): im pretty happy with her design atm, shes meant to be a half spider half woman thing and i love that for her. shes probably the one ive thought the most on so far given her importance to the story. i want her to wear silks and shiny silver jewelry that just sparkles like wet spiderwebs do, not sure if im gonna keep the veil?

The Dark - God of the Dark (she/he/it): probably my weakest concept at the moment. it doesnt do the dark any justice. i mean i like the cloak idea but i want them to be very tendrilly, all consuming, shadowy, but i dont know how to properly portray them :/

The Desolation - God of Destruction and Fire (they/it): i have a neat vision for them! i want them to be made of coal and ash and smoke, to be burning and glowing on the inside, and their body is decorated with melted wax to look like clothes. not quiiiiiite sure about how their melty candle dress is now? i want it to be less constrictive

The Stranger - God of the Unknown and the Whimsical (he/she/they/it): it's meant to be this. weird wirey creature hidden behind masks and a lot of fabrics, like the framework of a poseable plush doll? i like the way the masks look but im not so sure about the body.

The Vast - God of the Above (she/he/they/it): im not so sure about his design at all im gonna be real. i want them to look like the atmosphere and be covered in clouds and have mountains for feet and an ocean cape but i feel like it might be a bit?? idk??? im just not that happy with it :/

The End - God of Death and Time (they/it): ugh i love this concept sm, making death read as less scary and more divine is so fun. theyre based on a seraphim and a sand timer,

The Buried - God of the Underneath (she/he/they/it): ANOTHER OF MY FAVORITES!!!! i love them. theyre inspired by hermit crabs!! and they have silver chains holding their shell to them. they look so endearing with their lil lopsided eyes ;; <3

The Flesh - God of the Body and Meat (she/he/they/it): i have so many ideas for the flesh y'all- im very excited to do a concept sheet for them. theyre meant to have no skin, just exposed bone and muscle, large limbs, hooves, exposed heart underneath a ribcage, teeth that close around their abdomen. white bandages that wrap around like clothes. a teeth/horn crown? i dont quite know whether to go for a more animalistic look or a more human one? like- theres so many ways to go with him idek!!!

The Hunt - God of Predators and Pride (they/it): see, i like this design but i feel like its too werewolf like? yknow? thats cool!! but itreads more monster to me than God :/

The Corruption - God of Nature, Rot, and Disease (she/they/it): i love this weird bug thing. this one i was really inspired for (mostly because. corruption aligned. so obviously im gonna think about this one alot) theyre this weird bug thing, the veil is inspired by the one from the art on the wiki! i want to maybe make them a bit more gross and weird because nature is like that sometimes, a moot on tiktok suggested that i add animal bones!! and i think thats SO smart im absolutely going too

The Spiral - God of the Incomprehensible (it/its): this weirdo is so hard to pin down istg. i imagine them as this spiral thing. body is kindof liquidy, arms are spindly and long, multiple shifting faces, overall just constantly changing and moving and like!!! how am i meant to draw that??? when my brain cant even wrap my head around what its supposed to look like yknow??? bruh jrdbhgfjdldgfh- that being said i think the main problem with the design is that it just gives me too many Michael vibes!!! is it the hair? the arms? its probably both.

The Lonely - God of Solitude and the Self (they/it): i like what this one has going so far! theyve got fog hair, fog tears, their body is meant to be splotchy like turquoise marble, i vibe with it so hard. not so sure what to do with their outfit tho :/

The Slaughter - God of War (he/they/it): another one of my more stronger designs i think! centaur with weapons sticking into them, face concealed, medieval armor and antlers- it vibes

the extinction isnt drawn because i literally have no idea what they should look like aside from color palette-

once again any and all suggestions will be taken!!!! i need ideas!!! plese!!!!

SCENE: Jon's Office, Season 1 (Just Before Prentiss)

Larry: Okay, so you wait for the archivist to finish his statement.

Greg: Right.

Larry: You crawl out in the open.

Greg: Yeah

Larry: In front of THIS WALL.

Greg: Sure.

Larry: You get the archivists ATTENTION-

Greg: ...Wait...

Larry: He'll come over and try to squash you -

Greg: The plan is for him to SQUASH me?!

Larry: TRY to squash you! Then when it collapses you-

Greg: COLLAPSES?

Larry: Look I'm sorry, but Miss Annabelle said it has to be you ::::)

Greg: ...You say she says that a lot, Larry >::::(

[boabhan]

Attempting to rework my Annabelle Cane design. Enjoy :)

[laughable-umbrella]

back at it again with the magnus archives head canons:

so i’ve been thinking that maybe jon’s powers of compulsion come from the web instead of the eye? cause, i mean, when tma characters ask each other if they had been manipulated by the web to do something they literally say “were you compelled” and as jon becomes more monstrous im sure his connection to the web grows stronger because that’s exactly what the mother of puppets wants him to be doing

idk just something to think about 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️
