The Magnus Archives Got Me Feeling Again

With Nastya not having a death in DTTM... And the whole mechanisms running on belief.... She never stopped believing she was immortal.

Nastya finds Brian's body first, and she's certain he's just glitching, just stuck in some sort or statis.

She doesn't think he's dead, because the more logical explanation here is that somehow he ended up in space, and its been awhile. Clearly it's a mix between the trauma he already has from space and the harsh environment, and if she fixes him, he'll wake up.

That's how it's always worked.

And that's how it does.

He wakes up gasping and wheezing, gears spinning to life as his heart continues to best beat beat

He explains everything to her, but he's alive, his gears are spinning, and he figures he was never really dead.

The new truth is they can come close to dying, but never cross that line.

They can brush against death, but never sink into it.

Someone will always wake them up.

The first time it was the doctor for many of them, and with their shared belief that they arnt actually dead, the second they are torn into the living by Brian and Nastya, and whoever for up before them.

The universe has more stories for them to tell, and the lull in belief was just a new arc of their tales.

They wake up Jonny last, because no one is sure they really should, a long time after the others.

Ashes brings up he only got so truely desperate to die after Nastya left, gestures at Nastya, who shrinks a bit.

Tim remarks that he forgave Jonny got being selfish and bringing him back once already, and honestly its just fucking karma.

But since they all believe themselves immortal, that they cannot die. Only come tantalizingly close (exept the ever doubtful Marius) they believe that they will wake up from this. They believe that Jonny will wake up from this.

So Jonny's hand breaks through the dirt of his grave, and a particularly pissed off Jonny D'ville drags himself from the earth. "Why the fuck did you assholes let them bury me?"

"Um, Jonny...your D'Ville is showing."

Why would anyone want to consume it!?

i started this one almost two weeks ago and didnt try to finish it till just now

whoops

Little Things in Novel A I'll Never Recover From:

Deuce having a conversation with a skeleton.

Ace being over the top respectful to Banshee to the point where he's apologizing to her when she's not even there.

Skull addressing Ace and Deuce as "master" (idk why he does it but it's rly cute).

The precious heart to heart between Deuce and Whitebeard 🥺 (Deuce becomes one of his favorite sons and no one can tell me otherwise).

How Whitebeard gets all ashamed when he burns his hand in the same spot and is only worried about Deuce being disappointed in him.

Ace and Deuce's attempted ferris wheel date.

The part where Mihal only ever leaves his cabin when something might be wrong with Ace (the crew loves him 🥺 so fucking much).

How Deuce is super defensive when the crew reads over his shoulder as he's writing, but is way nicer when it's Wallace (cuz Wallace is learning to read and it's like Deuce is actively making sure he doesn't discourage him which is so sweet).

Deuce taking haki coated kicks to the stomach multiple times just so he can break Dorrow's flame throwers in order to save Ace.

Dine and dash.

Thatch and Ace becoming insanely close friends and drinking buddies even BEFORE Ace joined the crew.

Flower Crowns 💐🥰💐🥰💐

When Ace shared sake with Whitebeard 🥺🥺🥺 (that whole cup exchange actually).

Everyone on the Spades panicking because they have no faith in Ace and are worried he may light a Celestial Dragon on fire if he's left alone to wander (which is, let's be honest, very fair).

Ace being an absolute fucking DISASTER of a man when he meets Shanks and tries to thank him for saving Luffy.

Ace: For I am but a humble country boy-

Shanks: What in the fuck...?

(Honey plz talk like a normal person I'm-)

Shanks figuring out who Ace's father is in .2 seconds because he's literally that smart.

Deuce heel kicking a bounty hunter over the ship railing (a jealous and protective boi :3).

Banshee: Are you sure this is okay?

Ace: Yeah it was Deuce's idea.

(BABY IS LISTENING TO HIS BOYFREN TO THE LETTER. Also the implication that Ace still and will always go to Deuce for advice and to help with plans even though they're part of Whitebeard's crew. It's just... so pure and romantic).

Kotatsu growling at Blackbeard 👌

Deuce fully prepared to DRAG Ace away from the battle with Jimbei after he collapses.

Deuce and Ace are in love bye.

What do you mean Shanks didn’t recognize Ace when he came seeking him out to thank him for saving his little brother? What do you mean he wasn’t holding back tears as they shared drinks and stories about their favorite rubber boy? What do you mean he didn’t cry buckets when Ace left and had to be consoled by Benn and Yassop and Roux?

What do you mean Crocus didn’t take one look at this youndgster and nearly had a heart attack? Whta do you mean he didn’t remember that feisty woman’s last name and her freckles? What do you mean he didn’t call Rayleigh with a desperate, hopeful voice asking what was Rouge’s last name?

What do you mean Buggy didn’t see his captain’s eyes and grin on Ace’s face when he crashed their party in his ship? What fo you mean Buggy didn’t call Shanks to ask him who the fuck this kid was and why the fuck does he have Roger’s hair and eyes and Ms. Rouge’s freckles and smile? What do you mean he didn’t go batshit crazy internally when he heard Luffy say that Portgas D. Ace was his captain’s biological son, and that he was going to be killed for his goddamn blood?

What do you mean Rayleigh didn’t want to go and save Ace when the Visual Transponder Snails broadcasted the execution? What do you mean Shakky had to place a hand on his shoulder to stop him—from what? The Government? The Whitebeards? The world?

What do you mean Rayleigh’s heart didn’t shatter to pieces once more when Ace’s body fell to the ground, that Buggy felt despair claw into his mind when he heard Luffy’s heartwrenching cry, that Shanks didn’t curse the world and back when he came far, far too late.

What do you mean this didn’t all happen? What do you mean that they don’t care?

What do you mean they just stood there and did nothing?

So...I got a theory, that like any other theory, sprouted awfully, like a flesh flower in Jared Hopworth's garden:

Am I the only one that has the awful feeling that something like this is gonna happen: So, hypothetically...

Imagine Georgie and Melanie being in the middle of an orde of Archivists Monsters, or just in a dangerous situation in general, and Melanie gets hurt, or is close to dying, and like that... Georgie feels fear again.

Suddently she fears Melanie dying and her not being able to save her.

And by feeling fear she inevitably succumbs to whatever fear domain suits her best.

(Which is probably gonna be the End, because she'll fear Melanie's life ending? Maybe?)

Then imagine Melanie surviving whatever scared Georgie, aand while she hears the sounds of her beloved succumb to whatever horror awaits her, not able to do anything, she can't help but think its because of her.

Or even worse, not realizing at all and just calling out her name hopelessly....Feeling angrier and angrier at each and every monster, person or fear that took her away, but in the end, blaming herself because she wasn't able to do anything.

No? Just me? Okay, I'll go back to my corner.

Eric: I can’t really emote anymore.

Eric, 30 seconds later and audibly disgusted: Elias Bouchard????

So, I hate Elias Bouchard with a burning passion. He hurt poor Melanie, he hurt poor Martin, light of my life, committed multiple MURDERS (even if Leitner kinda deserved it, the rest PROBABLY DIDN'T), and overall, traumatized the entire cast just by existing.

Imagine my joy to hear him getting beaten at the end of season 3.

As many of my friends say: "Better than an orgasm."
