I Saw The Horns And Became, For One Second, Sure It Was Yet Another Miku

Such a cool piece of ephemera! Not to piss on the parade or anything, but does that horse body have a man cock? On its chest?

TMAGP 9 SPOILERS

I have a bad feeling Freddy is using the voices of Jon, Martin, and whoever else to goad Sam into returning to the Magnus Institute. And that Jon & Martin are, in fact, completely dead.

Yes! Jon mentioned survival bias in TMA, because all but a few statements were made by those who survived the Horrors long enough to visit the Institute. But it seems like more of the characters here did not survive.

Thinking about how a lot of theorizing about the Magnus protocols has been considering tma statements as about fear whereas tmagp statements are about desires BUT I’m wondering if this is more about like… selection bias?

Think about it- the Magnus archives collected statements from people who volunteered - people who were frightened and then heard of an archive that collects spooky statements. whereas the OIAR system scours the internet so it’s not biased by who was scared enough to go to the Archives.

Thinking seriously about the taxonomy of goths

How do you like your coffee this #AniMonday ?

Another conceptual pencil test I did for Blue Sky Studios. We were toying with the idea that the wizard class had more of a "tech" style magic that involved tools and mechanical devices. So I thought it might be fun exploring how a wizard would make coffee in the morning. This is one I wish I took further, did a couple in-betweens, but it was just made to get a concept across. I think it did its job.
