This is a vast mock-up,

Here it has more of a blue tint

as someone on discord said very beautifully,

Hi! My name's Lyra. Simon said it would be good for me to meet other people like us, and you were the only other teenagers he could think of. Which Powers are you with - did I ask that question right?

//I hope I'm doing this right, this is my first time doing anything of the sort.

oh. didn’t know he knew us already.

we’ve been here long enough, and someone’s not great at being subtle. it’s bound to happen.

hey! i’m subtle when i want to be!

as subtle as a boulder in the face.

i’ll have you know that boulders—

ahem. rowan. beholding.

oh. uh— bee, end.

So, you know how a while back I matched up Poe short stories to different entity types from TMA?

I've been reading a lot of manga lately (night shift job with lots of short breaks, very conducive to manga reading), and I've just been thinking about what TMA fear entities they'd be. And also thought it would be hilarious to explain manga plots badly as TMA statements.

So, let's go!

Uzumaki, Junji Ito : THE SPIRAL (obviously, lol), THE FLESH

Two teenagers survive a full-blown Spiral apocalypse with plot armor and the power of true love.

Tomie, Junji Ito : THE FLESH, THE SLAUGHTER

Pretty Flesh avatar has fun making men fall for her and then using her secondary Slaughter powers to make them unalive each other in very Flesh-y ways.

Death Note, Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata: THE END

Narcissistic teenager with personality disorders discovers and uses End Leitner. It goes exactly as badly as you would think.

The Summer Hikaru Died, Mokumokuren : THE SPIRAL, THE STRANGER

Local sad gay boy falls for the Distortion that took the form of his bestie. Later, said boy and friendly Distortion team up with local Hunt avatar to save town from Spiral apocalypse.

Parasyte, Hideki Iwaase: THE FLESH

Local boy successfully thwarts transformation into Flesh avatar, teams up with Flesh avatar in his right hand to impress cute girlfriend and save Earth from the Flesh apocalypse ... in that order.

Tokyo Ghoul, Sui Ishida: THE FLESH, THE STRANGER, THE LONELY, THE SPIRAL

Young man goes on date and gets turned into Flesh avatar. Young man makes friends and learns the meaning of love, friendship, and morality while holding off against attacks by the Lonely and the Spiral. Young man gets screwed over by Lonely and Spiral anyway.

Tokyo Ghoul :re (same)

Aforementioned young man joins avatar-fighting organization, gets duped into causing the very apocalypse he was trying to prevent, reverses Flesh apocalypse with the power of true love.

Attack on Titan, Hajime Isayama: THE VAST, THE FLESH

Child soldier tasked with fighting Vast discovers he is in fact a Vast avatar and joins fight against the Vast/Flesh apocalypse, but is ultimately defeated by The Authorial Nihilism.

To Your Eternity, Yoshitoki Oima : THE END, THE STRANGER, THE EYE

Ever wonder how to spot who’s who in fanart when there aren’t many physical descriptors given in cannon? Well no worries, here’s a handy-dandy guide to spot your fave archival staff members (and friends!) at a glance, across the multitudes of gorgeous art out there:

Jonathan Sims: If Cecil from Night Vale didn’t sleep for a month and then got run over by a bus. Twice. Thinner than tracing paper. Feral, but fragile. Associated item: Tape recorder. Or twenty.

Martin Blackwood: Sweaters Jumpers and circles! Is he wearing a sweater jumper? Is he drawn entirely using round shapes and soft edges? Do you want to hug him on sight? It’s Martin. The definition of “shaped like a friend”.  Associated item: Mug of tea. (It’s for John. Even when it’s not, it is.)

Tim Stoker: Hot. He has finger guns and he’s not afraid to use them. Associated item: An axe, or the aforementioned guns.

Melanie King: Blindfolded. Usually short, usually angry (mood). May be wearing her own merch.  Associated item: There’s a knife on her somewhere. In hand, as a tattoo, at her hip - sometimes all three.

Georgie Barker: She’s got style. The rest of these motherfuckers wear clothes to function but Georgie’s put to-fucking-gether. I don’t know who decided it, but they’re right. May be wearing her own merch. Associated item: She’s usually got really dope earrings.  

Basira Hussein: Stoic as a sphinx and probably twice as knowledgeable. Often in a police uniform, generally in a hijab. Merely glancing at her image will convey her ruthless competence.  Associated item: A book

Alice ‘Daisy’ Tonner: Lean, mean, hunting machine. Many scars. Often in a police uniform. She will beat you up. Alternately: some sort of terrifying wolf monster Basira is comforting. Associated item: Raw butch energy. 

“Elias Bouchard”: Smug DILF.  Associated item: Length of pipe. Or sex toys (you know who you are)

Peter Lukas: Classic sea captain aesthetic. Healthy beard, cheap whistle around the neck. Seen most often in monochrome. Associated item: Elias’ ass (you know who you are).

Jane Prentiss: O, worm? Associated item: See above.

Nikola Orsinov: Uncanny valley…but make it sexy.  Associated item: Circus regalia

Michael: Lots o’ colours. Flowing blond hair from a L’Oreal commercial plus Freddy Kruger hands.  Associated item: Doors

Helen: Lots o’ colours. Powerful 80′s business woman vibes plus Freddy Kruger hands. Associated item: Also doors.

Gerard Keay: The gothest goth to ever goth. Lives at Goth street in Goth city, and takes the goth train every morning to work at Goth Ltd. And honestly? Good for him. He deserves to be able to pursue his interests. Associated item: A Leitner
