#the circus of the other

[vastpotato]

Love that tma is so traumatic constantly that we all gloss over the fact that Jon was kidnapped and forcibly moisturized while tied to a chair for a month.

Every time I think too hard about it it actually freaks me out. And Jon never talks about it again which also freaks me out

oh the irony of constantly redrawing and tweaking a drawing of Nikola Orsinov because "it doesn't look quite right"

[fruitisthenewvegitable]

Jonathan Sims (full Archivist powers) vs Nikola Orsinov (not kaboomed yet) in a staring contest

Details for doing business with the Circus of the other (and making it out alive and with your skin intact)

So, you are an avatar or some other person wishing to correspond with the Circus of the Other for whatever reason. If you want to make it out unharmed then here are some things to keep in mind:

1: make sure to get a nametag from the Ringmaster, this isn’t for people there to know your name, no it’s just so they know not to skin you.

2: do not open the two delivery men’s coffin. They won’t stop you or anything but let’s just say you’ll meet a horrible fate.

3: do not break or damage the taxidermy or you will be joining the taxidermy.

4: do not bring C4 or other explosives with you.

5: do not mention Cirque Du Soleil as they don’t like them. (The less you know about it the better)

6: do not compare them to Cirque Du Soleil, as that’s basically asking for a death sentence.

7: Generally just don’t ask any questions and just keep walking when you see something weird or disturbing.

Nikola and her circus

I was originally just planning on drawing Nikola, but that turned into drawing up a whole entourage for her.

Lighter version under the cut

avatars of the stranger may steal your skin but they'll never mess up your pronouns or call you by your deadname bc they know how sometimes you gotta drop an identity when it doesn't fit

[its-a-pain-having-a-name]

We should not clown about how could Nikola run the circus of the other. When Brekon and hope are there being just as incompetent, I think everyone in the circus has something that should make us question how it Fears the circus was able to be around that long.

I can't remember if I've said this here before or not but the tragic irony of Tim's connection to the Stranger is just.

The two main people we know of that Tim has had the closest relationship to is Sasha and Danny. Danny was stolen and killed by the Circus. Danny's death sent Tim to the Institute for revenge, and because of said job he met Sasha, and grew close. Sasha, who was the later taken and consumed by the Not-Them- the Not-Them that the Circus's Ringleader Nikola personally knew.

The two people he got the closest to, stolen because of the Stranger and the Circus. Then for Tim exact the revenge that hollowed him out and practically rotted him to the bone, dying in the process of stopping the Stranger's ritual that would've failed on its own.

I just .... I think about it a lot.

[ID: Art of Nikola Orsinov from The Magnus Archives. She is a gaunt, pale humanoid with clown makeup drawn over a plastic face, drenched in blood. Its scalp and arms are graying, sickly, and sewn on. Her eye sockets are round and empty, with a small point of light in the left eye staring at the viewer. Behind her, text reads "Be still, for there is strange music,". End ID]
