The Fears Tma - Blog Posts
I Lied to you. We aren’t having sex, put your clothes back on. It’s time for me to explain to you the entire plot the Magnus archives and tell you which fear entity you would serve.
Been a while since I’ve done this so…what fears should I combine into an avatar? Top two will be chosen to be mixed. I’m going to take off the fears that have already been used. So far we’ve had:
- Vast/Spiral
- Vast/Buried
- Flesh/Dark
The Spiral (6/15) “Laughing Dog”
I’m finally restarting this series and starting strong with this spiral good (bad) boy! I’m much happier with my creature design now.
The Laughing Dog is a creature of the spiral that finds its home in old, winding buildings. Its laugh can be heard for miles and is alluring to the curious. Once within the building, its laugh can be heard echoing through the hallways but its main hunting tactic? It’s stretching body. Its midsection can stretch VERY FAR, making it appear as though there are multiple creatures you can see peaking around corners. If you come up on its tail, you turn to run and are suddenly faced with its mouth. You can’t escape it. As soon as you look into its mouth, you are paralyzed with fear and that’s when it devours you.
The Vast/Spiral boy gets an alternate outfit
Does this invoke fear? It should! He’s killed dozens and harvests fear from dozens of others ^^ He’s just silly like that.
Yes yes, I’m doing this again. Last time the Vast and the Spiral won and I had so much fun designing my guy. So, I’m doing another poll!
I am making a TMA OC and the top 2 fears will be combined into one avatar! This time I’m making more of the fears available, choose wisely!
The Corruption (5/15) “Plague Bringer”
The Corruption (5/15) “Plague Bringer”
The Plague Bringer is one of the oldest of the fear creatures. It is a wandering creature, roaming between continents. Unlike the other fear creatures, the Plague Bringer’s body ultimately decays and dies but it finds a new host through the spores that leak from its body. This is how it can travel between continents as a host can be infected months before its bloom. Its spores have been known to infect plenty of crop, spreading mass hysteria and causing the deaths of millions. During the times its strongest (during plagues and pandemics), its spores can be used to turn victims into zombies. Its strength grows as illness spreads.
The End (4/15) “Dead Poet”
The End (4/15) “Dead Poet”
The Dead Poet is a passive creature in the world of these entities. It does not need to hunt, death comes for all. However, it is often attracted to funerals and spends its time in cemeteries, feeding on the fear from mourning families as they are forced to confront mortality in a very tangible sense. It can also feed on the lingering fear clinging to the bodies as they are buried though this is not nearly enough to satisfy it. It gets its name as those who have encountered it report hearing whispers of past eulogies of loved ones or ones for themselves. The closer the creature is, the stronger the connection to the eulogy (ie. far away is eulogy of distant relative and quiet), too close and that is when you hear the one of your own death. Staying too close to the creature forces you to age and you can feel your body growing weaker. It will approach but will not chase.
