i always assumed jonah magnus does the eye transfers himself once he gets too many wrinkles but like. that man is such a wimp about death i refuse to believe he doesn’t have a backup plan in case of a spontaneous heart attack
can you imagine being the person on jonah magnus’ emergency contact list. the hospital calls you to regretfully inform you that “james wright has had a heart attack this morning we are very sorry for your loss” and suddenly you are in a race against time to find the hottest office twink of the decade and tear his fucking eyes out
(listen even my 3 year old niece says I can’t draw for shite but quarantine is getting to all of us and I’ve had too many discussions about Regency fashion recently so I had to have some slutty Jonah, as a treat)
my biggest tma pet peeve is people calling Jonah Magnus a Victorian even though he spent the first 40+ years of his life in the Georgian era. Jonah ain’t no Victorian, he’s a Regency kid who never got over that weird amulet-with-miniature-eye-portrait trend.

Statement of Daniel Stoker, regarding his discoveries at the site of the first Covent Garden Theatre, London. Original statement given 29 May, 2013.
This was our contribution to @visitorpasszine, a print and PDF The Magnus Archives charity fanzine with proceeds benefiting The Trevor Project.
Participating in this project was an absolute blast – thank you to Summer and Snails for all their hard work in organizing it, and for selecting us to tell our story as part of it! And eternal thanks to my partner in crime, the inimitable @ourlightsinvain, who was game to do a Danny Stoker statement with me, and wrote a brilliant story that I was so honored to illustrate.
i said it in the tags of that other post but the only way to accept the utter incompetence of the entire archives staff, up to and including the head archivist, is to understand that the magnus institute is not a reputable organization. its a shell company built to thinly conceal a death cult dedicated to an unknowable god of knowledge. jonah magnus never bothered to familiarize himself with any aspect of any section of the business, and the only people he hired who know at all what theyre doing are the people in payroll, because if anyone knew shit about shit the whole scam would fall apart in minutes. we zero in on martins blatantly false cv because hes a main character and hes not confident in his tenure, but if you were to examine the applications of the entire staff across the board youd find only severely underqualified individuals who have been making it up as they go along for decades, and every one of them just assumes that they must be doing it right since they havent been fired yet. jonah throws out any resumes submitted by people with degrees in relevant fields without looking at the rest of the form.
i see that you have a masters in library science from oxford and more than a decade of experience as head archivist at the same, but were going to go with the twenty-something with the bachelors in english who had a nervous breakdown in the bathroom following his interview. hes been touched by demon, which far outweighs your own “qualifications.” maybe try the mcdonalds on the corner.
