Statement of John Seward, regarding a patient afflicted with life-consuming psychosis.
Statement begins.
Jonathan Sims? In my Dracula podcast?
It's more likely than you think.
Sisyphus From Ultrakill, The Slaughter
(this is coming from someone who knows barely anything about TMA lol)
I always cater to the smallest venn digram crossover section (I saw this in a vision)
Please check out the Google sheet that they made it's very cool
( @generalidiocy I didn't want to take over your post so I posted separately. Please tell me if you want me to delete this!)
i hate this with a passion, but considering that it's the first time i'm using illustrator and that i didn't check any tutorial beforehand i guess it could have been worse.
anyway, here's a sort of grifters bone poster because the hyperfixation is back and kicking :)
(logo credits go to @archivebottles)

I swear there's an extremely specific reason for all of these but honestly it's mostly the voices
Shout out to the Slaughter avatars who stopped the stranger ritual in 1787 tbh
absolutely fucking love how Poseidon is Buried, especially considering his earthquakes <3 Hestia as lonely is a really interesting idea :D
The Magnus Archives Entities as Greek Gods
The Vast - Zeus
The all powerful, infinite cosmic force that is both the king of the gods and the fear of insignificance. The fear of falling, and of openness. Pray that when lightning strikes, you will not taste ozone on your tongue.
The Buried - Poseidon
The ocean could very well be a part of the Vast, but they are fundamentally opposed. The same sides of a coin, one side pewter the other side copper. Two kings that rule next to each other yet are complete opposites. Pray that his brutal storms do not swallow you whole, crushing you under the weight of his world.
The End - Hades
He is the one inevitability of the world. He waits, passive, for victims. The other gods squabble and bicker and play their games while he looks on from the Underworld and knows that he is the ultimate winner. It is pointless to hope that he will not claim you eventually. Pray that you will be contented when he does.
The Web - Athena
The goddess of strategy, of weaving and trickery and cunning. She once cursed a girl to become a spider for her insolence. Pray that she does not lay her marionette strings over you, for then you will never know free will again.
The Slaughter - Ares
The god of war, and the gleam of bloodshed in your eyes and the eyes of the person on the other end of the battlefield. Pray that the blood streaking your hands and face is not your own.
The Corruption - Aphrodite
She is love, and the unbecoming of it all. The deadly force that eats away at your soul and changes you into someone you don't recognize anymore. She whispers that she is the most good and right form of the world, but her kiss is made of rot. Pray that her love will not break you apart piece by piece.
The Eye - Apollo
The god of the sun, who sees all the occurs in the daylight. Prophecy, truth, and the goings on of the world are the way he idles his time away. Pray that you are not intriguing enough to catch his vicious interest.
The Lonely - Hestia
She is the goddess of the hearth, of warmth and of family. Yet it was she who was foisted out of Olympus to make way for Dionysus. She tends to a hearth with no visitors to warm themselves by it. Pray that she does not beckon you to join her by the empty fire.
The Stranger - Dionysus
His parties are the raucous screams in the night, and people who walk in will never walk out the same person. There will always be something a little bit off about them. Pray that when the wine touches your lips you will still recognize yourself the next morning.
The Desolation - Hephaestus
Ugly, marred and disfigured. His wife refuses to look at him. He burns with a rage that he cannot distinguish as self hatred or as loathing for the world he lives in. He toys with the fire in his forge and the burns are the only thing that bring him joy anymore. Pray that he does not look at you with that fiery hatred in his eyes.
The Hunt - Artemis
She hunts in the dead of night, armed by the protection of the moon. Occasionally she enlists help. But always, she will dedicate herself to the next hunt. Pray you are not next.
The Flesh - Prometheus
He built humans out of clay. He built them with imperfections they would see in the mirror and insecurities that feel like a gaping pit in their chest. The god of innovation is also a god who wants their passions to hurt. Pray that when he creates you, your imperfections do not swallow you whole.
The Spiral - Janus
Doors and transitions and new beginnings but also endings all rolled into one. Everything and anything but also nothing and no one. He is a two faced god of deception and lies, and you can never trust what either face tells you. Pray for truth, but there is no point.
The Dark - Nyx
She's always there. Waiting for Apollo to leave. You're not safe from her. No matter how much you try to convince yourself otherwise, the most animal part of your brain will always fear her. Pray that she smiles at you without teeth as she watches while you sleep.
The Extinction - Pan
He is the god of nature, and there is no length he will not go to in order to protect it. Mankind is but a blemish on the world. The wild, untamable forces of nature will conquer it eventually. Pray that you will be overlooked when it floods the cities and burns the crops.
I want to connect each Fear with a type of music...
Slaughter would be war marches, like the Piper's.
Maybe Corruption is the 'song' of the worms? Although that's not really a music type... Maybe the glut of love songs?
I feel like Baroque music belongs to the Vast. Maybe that's because I'm partial towards both baroque and Vast, but it can sound so... big
The Web would definitely be company jingles, with how they are used to manipulate peoples' decisions and how you might hum along without meaning to.
Stranger would be easily given circus music.
The End would be funeral hymns, that's pretty simple.
Maybe the Extinction could be those new protest songs about climate change and the state of the world, specifically the ones which point to the problem but never have a call to action. It ends up just raising awareness without hope to change anything.
Any thoughts on Flesh, Hunt, Dark, Eye, Spiral, Buried, Desolation or Lonely?
All the entities of the Magnus archives in one place because i learnt that the Tumblr photo limit was higher than I thought.
Anyways this has been a fun series to draw for and have enjoyed seeing you guys feedback for it
This came to me in a dream so I'm not sure if this has been done or not but-
TMA fear entities as Hozier songs:
I think Take me to Church covers all of them pretty well.
The flesh: Eat your young
The Desolation: Arsonist's lullaby/ Would that I
I feel these were kinda obvious.
The Extinction: Wasteland, baby
The Hunt: Shrike
The Spiral: Unknown/Nth
The Corruption: Movement
The Dark: As it was/ Sunlight
The Slaughter: To Noise Making
The Beholding: Be
I feel It Will Come Back fits all the entities really well but espically: The Lonely
Razor (She/Her)
Avatar of the Slaughter
Known only as Razor, she is one of the best warriors the colosseum has ever seen, using her webs to wield many weapons at once, even from across the arena. Her true name is unknown, having never fought for glory, only the thrill. Recently, something seems to have shifted, as she’s gotten more reckless and violent both in and out of the area, even killing a few of the other fools while in the resting area.
Do you guys think that the statements would taste different for whatever fear it is. I feel like they would, so I made a list of what I think they would taste like.
Spiral: sour rainbow belts
End: green grapes
Eye: mint
Lonely: tomato soup
Vast: cotton candy
Corruption: apple that’s slightly gone bad
Flesh: beef
Hunt: chicken
Slaughter: that one red sour jelly thingy that you put on sour candies frkm like juicy drops
Desolation: spicy chicken
Dark: dark chocolate
Burried: potatoes
Extinction: green apple
Web: purple grapes
Stranger: bubble gum
so imagine being jon after the coma and reading a statement and it’s like BAM!! BUBBLE GUM. !
Me and my friend made a horrid creation called a fear sandwich, each ingredient is based of a tma fear.
1. The end: the bread, specifically the butt end of the bread that had been slightly burnt by the manufacturer.
2. The fleash: some kind of mystery meat. A horrid combination of a bunch of different meats.
3. The slaughter: a nother meat, but it has metal shavings in it.
4. The hunt: a mixed greens but it's poison ivy and grass. (With a bit of blood on it)
5. The desolation: a REALLY hot sauce, like inhumanely spicy.
6. The buried: an entire truffle. Dirt and all.
7. The dark: just squid ink. Way more than is necessary.
8. The lonely: a single very sweet pickle that does not go well with the rest of the sandwich.
9. The vast: a thousand island dressing that is actually just salt water. It's also really cold.
10. The corruption: very moldy cheese, it's just all mold, with maggots in the senter, as a suprise.
11. The eye: one of those toothpicks that goes through the sandwich holding it together. It also has a little olive with the capsicum in the middle of it on top. (The olive is uncomfortably moist)
12. The spiral: a very strangely cut onion that doesn't even really taste like onion, but you can't tell exactly what it tastes like, so you just sit there in mild confusion and terror of what you just ate.
13. The stranger: a sausage that you think is normal meat but is actually a vegan sausage.
14. The extinction: a very rare very endangered animal filled with micro plastics.
15. The web: what looks to be sesame seeds on the bread, but are actually very small spider eggs. (It's a delicacy in some places, it would be rude not to have it)
A million notes and I will attempt to make it. (Please don't I don't want to make this. I don't even know where to get half of these ingredients)
The Fears

The obvious choice when I sat there and went ‘which entity is most tied to America’ is the slaughter because the whole, history intrinsically connected to war and fighting and bloodshed and genocide and like, how our country is literally founded on the blood of millions and we just keep adding it and like.
That’s completely correct but I’d also like to say as a close 2nd place America is co-parented by the Eye. Not in any ‘look at all of the cool things we’ve strived to create and engineer’ way but in a control way. I guess that’d be the web, but like-
Control in the specific way of monitoring, call it your double trouble because the Web and Eye are coming for you. The government wants to know everything about you in any way possible, you should let them see your social media, I promise they want to help 🙂
Uh yeah :3 because I am a American obviously my immediate interest is going ‘How does this affect America’ because uh, I know a lot about America and TMA doesn’t have much for me to expand on world-building wise that isn’t ’guys institute concepts but how is it in Rome’ (that probably also will happen.)
Uh anyways. No idea when the next Camp Jupiter things gonna be. Probably will be a topography/general geography of camp because after Tyrants tomb I have some thoughts.

Look at this pin. It originally only had the picture and then I wrote Grifter’s Bone on it.
