Various sketches from this week yay

First off, it’s heavily implied that his dad is the prison guard from the statement in episode 52 who encountered Robert Montauk (already setting up a link between him and the Dark). And it’s also outright stated that this guy was abusive, both to the prisoners under his control and his wife (Callum’s mother). So even before all the supernatural shit starts, there’s this instability in Callum’s life— this underlying idea of violence, of wielding the fear and power you have over others, that he’s probably all too familiar with.

That’s when he gets kidnapped by a centuries-old eldritch manifestation of darkness who then tries to possess him. I mean, we know from Jonah and OG Elias just how fucking horrific the whole body-hopping process is for the person getting replaced— imagine what it must have been like for a literal child to experience that. It’s not surprising in the slightest that Callum became an avatar of the Dark after this, even though Rayner’s possession failed. That kind of trauma is just perfect for the entities to feed on.

Then, the eyepocalypse happens and he gets his fear domain, and there’s that super interesting conversation Jon has with him in episode 173:

Even the blind can see through your lies elias

goodbye to all of them knbahaaaha

In honour of One Year of Avatar Fuckability Tier List, my faves from the notes. Congrats on being the freakiest fandom.

@doyoulikemyswordmydiamondsword and @elloello777 arguing over whether or not a "skinny geezer" is fuckable (I'll let you guess which skinny geezer)

@homo-inferior who referred to Jane Prentiss as "the wasp milf"

@green-tea-crow who suggested that "Elias' dick sucking game" should be "god tier"

Everyone who suggested I should do "dateability" and "threesomes" tier lists (hmm...)

Everyone agreeing that Mike Crewe is an absolute sleeper pick and I was a genius to put him in S Tier

Everyone else demanding justice for Agnes Montague

@the-peoples-church Maxwell Rayner who called me out for presuming that there was no good sex in the 1700s and then thirsted after Raymond Fielding in the tags

@nabil-babbles who laughed so hard at "unfuckable due to bagpipes" that their power went out

Everyone who felt compelled to remind me of ACAB but also admitted that Daisy probably deserves the top spot

@mag184, who said they "need that mannequin carnally more than I need air to breathe"

And of course everyone being so goddamned horny for literally all of them.

Thank you all for your contributions to the discourse research. I feel no shame about putting all of you on blast for being horny on main.

Also shout out to IRL friend @imonlyhereforthefanfic who, when I mentioned that I made the original post, gasped "that was YOU?" and then informed me that I am famous on Magnus Tumblr. So, thanks.
