Why MothJohn when OwlJohn?
Okay so like being serious here; what's with everyone assigning Monster Johnathan Sims into being a Moth? Why can't he be an owl?
This has bugged me an inordinate amount and in true Eye Lady fashion, I'm gonna try to prove my propaganda ideation has merit (and also unravel this bloody mess).
--------------------------------------
Please help me unravel this with your own theories/responses/knowledge this is critical for my AO3 Magnus x (OwnSeries) AU
--------------------------------------
Points for OwlJohn:
Owl symbolism in the Magnus Institute's logo
Owls (mainly the Little Owl) are associated with the Greek Goddess Athena (Goddess of Wisdom, Warfare and Handicrafts), and the Eye is a Wisdom-based Entity fragment.
Being an Owl (Athena) puts them at odds with Spider (Arachne), thus being reflective of the Eye (Watching) and Web (Acting) mindsets.
Harpy John! Like, hello???? Bird wings??? Being a big floofy owl creature like Eda Clawthorne from The Owl House????
Owls blink super quickly so like, metaphor for not being able to close eyes?
Points for MothJohn (so far)
Mentions of a 'chrysalis' in MAG 162
Death's-head Hawkmoths are apparently tied to supernatural/evil things?????? [Source: Wikipedia..? (i cant remember)]
Moths apparently represent transformation and rebirth??? [Source: some website labelled the "Tarrant Country College" idk i took a cursory glance]

If I've missed anything, please tell me because I'm genuinely curious for the sake of the Magnus-(Own Series) AU I'm cooking on AO3.
Might even try cooking a MothJohn vs OwlJohn propo image, or use one of my Archivist OCs for the Magnus-(OwnSeries) AU. Or both. Or all three.
(Also yes I know about Sphinx!Jonn and Dragon!John variations but there's no. bloody. owls.)
Owl monster Jon?
(This took 5 minutes sorry if its now owl enough)
YES LETS BLOODY GOOOO 🗣🗣🗣
The OwlJohn agenda has begun!!
My contribution to owl!jon because I couldn’t not draw this silly guy :3
LETS BLOODY GOOO ANOTHER ONE TO THE OWL JOHN AGENDA 🗣🗣🗣🗣
Seriously though love the choice of owl for this. It's kinda ironic that an owl symbolising strength and courage is used on a more adept and powerful Jarchivist. 👁
THE AGENDA GROWS LETS BLOODY GOO 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Welcome to the Owl party! I love the floofy hair and the claw-like hands sm!
I saw people drawing Jon with owl features so...
@thothreposts I actually ended up listing Ravens in another rebloged post somewhere on my blog page, but now that it's all laid out...
Goddamn it I can't decide whats better😭😭😭😭
I kinda just pinned Ravens to the End in the (ironically) end, but the idea of a Raven Jon is stuck in my head aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

OWL 👏 JOHN 👏 AS 👏 AN 👏 ACTUAL 👏 OWL 👏 👏 👏
Seriously though the fusion between Moth and Owl is so good tho like aaaaaaaaaaa
My owl son
Jonathan Sims as an owl with moth wings, because I think that it's neat. Could also be a really weird non-fandom owl dependng on your point of view.
