August Video - Which TMA Fear Entity are YOU??
Added 2023-08-04 14:00:07 +0000 UTCThe Magnus Archives made up 95% of my brain for a very long time, PLEASE let me talk at you about how they categorize all of human fear and how you can use that system like a Buzzfeed quiz.

Defending my ✨Vast-girlie✨ status: A lot of it is aesthetics, I won’t lie, but my Vast obsession is more than that. While you were describing the unknown depths of the ocean, I was shuddering along with you, but it was an excited sort of fear for me. Like, I’m afraid, but I’m also intrinsically drawn into it as well, and it fascinates me to my core. Same with space! Contemplating the sheer unfathomable vastness of space fills me with unparalleled wonder and a comforting feeling of insignificance in the universe. The Vast is my Fear, hands down! I’m over here, enjoying Sky Blue with Simon and Mike! 😁 (My only weakness is ladders. I don’t trust them, and I refuse to use them unless I absolutely have to. Even short stepladders. I don’t like them one bit. 😐)

2024-09-19 20:15:31 +0000 UTCI am: Sun - Vast (LOVE IT ❤️🌌) Moon - Corruption (I cannot stand bugs in anything more than a one-on-one basis, and some bugs I can’t do even that. Disease also fucks me up, and the idea of mold or rot makes my very soul crawl. I also have Trypophobia. I hate literally everything that the Corruption is. 😖) - Buried and Flesh are also a very close contenders for my Moon, but Corruption is definitely the overall worst for me. Rising - Spiral (I don’t really connect with it personally or particularly fear it, but I love the aesthetic and the pure unfiltered weirdness of a good Spiral statement. 😁 Literally some of my favorite statements are Spiral statements, because of how trippy they are! Also, Michael/Helen are two of my favorite Avatars.) - I’m also an aesthetic fan of the Eye, the End, and the Lonely.

2024-09-19 19:45:29 +0000 UTCI subscribed to your patreon to get access to this video specifically. I love TMA, I backed their TTRPG on the Entity level so I could get all the fun props incl a hard copy of "a visitor for Mr spider." Honestly I would NOT have been able to just rattle off even half of the fears, let alone a near- complete list, without any notes. You did incredible! Love the way you formatted and explained this. Mine are: Buried sun -- I love a tiny space, it feels very cozy and safe Stranger moon -- this one gets me so bad, the thought of either being replaced and no one noticing. I'm also freaked out by puppets, dolls, etc. Web rising -- I just think it's neat!

2024-06-19 14:23:36 +0000 UTCYou were the rest I started Magnus and now my brains different. I'm definitely sun eye moon lonely and vast rising

2024-06-13 19:09:42 +0000 UTCso i actually started listening to tma and my opinions have Changed - first of all the slaughter's kinda boring, i'm probably lonely sun instead because i fucking hate people lmao - the eye doesn't freak me out as much as i thought it did, the web does tho, and so does the corruption, jane prentiss scares the shit out of me (so corruption/web moon) - and finally, even tho i do appreciate the aesthetic of wide open spaces, i gotta agree with you that the spiral probably has the coolest aesthetic (so also spiral rising)

2024-05-29 01:35:58 +0000 UTCAlso im gonna listen to magnus archives now
Cat in a skin suit
2024-05-22 21:31:44 +0000 UTCI'd say i'm probably slaughter sun (i really want to put my fist through a wall, i think that would be really satisfying, also i get angry really easily), eye/web moon (being watched is TERRIFYING to me and im also extremely arachnophobic), and vast rising (big wide empty spaces look cool)

2024-05-22 21:31:08 +0000 UTCI am an End sun, Vast moon, and Hunt rising. (The episode where a man is on the top of a skyscraper with only a ladder as his way down made me physically recoil)
Phoenix
2024-05-07 15:14:43 +0000 UTCFor sure an End sun, Eye moon, and Vast rising. I love death and all things related to it (I'm a witch), I have horrible anxiety about people seeing me do bad things or perceiving me as a bad person based on my internal thoughts, and I love the aesthetic of the ocean and space and thinking about all the stuff we haven't discovered yet!
The Wizard Sea
2024-04-16 02:04:15 +0000 UTCohh i am definitely a Vast sun.. the thought of just floating in the ocean without a single care in the world is the most relaxing thing to ever grace my mind And also i think space is hot and sexy and beautiful. Corruption moon because MAG164 is the worst and most disgusting thing anyone has ever thought of! i feel the exact same way about MAG93 in case that wasnt obvious. and then id be a Web rising because man do i love to do a little scheming. a little lying. i love to do a little misleading. to engage in mischief. and spiders are rad as hell

2024-04-11 09:13:48 +0000 UTCI haven't listening to TMA, partially because I'm bad at podcasts and partially because I have a feeling it would fuck me up because my brain likes put shit on loop when it scares me. However! My sun: I thought maybe buried because weighted blankets are my shit, and I would also love if more people did puppy piles/extremely long hugs because I want to be lovingly crushed, thanks. But then I was thinking about like characters I'm drawn to play in TTRPG's and bring me the most satisfaction/joy, etc. So I started thinking about The Desolation in the rage/emotional aspect. Like demolish someones entire life because they harmed someone you love. Revolution. Burn everything down kinda like a forest fire and start over from the ashes vibes. Is that probably extremely off base for the actual show? I would assume, but I'm sticking to it. My moon: The Stranger. 100%. 1. because it's that terror of if I disappeared/was replaced would anyone care (which I guess is also part lonely) but mainly because 2. the whole never trusting yourself? Felt. Hate it. The End is a very close second though. I find death practices and cultural things interesting. I am a person who loves Death in the Sandman and finds her comforting as a concept. However, if I think about actually being dead for too long I will panic, it has happened mid-conversation before when it got too existential. Rising: Honestly it's a hard one. I thought maybe dark/end because it made me think gothic/witchy bitch styles which are my entire vibe. But I also do love pictures of like abandoned malls and ruins and I love early morning in winter when its hella quiet and nobody else is around. so I think that puts me in the Lonely category. (I also put some of the deep ocean vibes into this area and I lovveee the ocean. But I can't be vast because I hate the actual concept of being in space though. Did that in VR and also had a panic attack within like 30 seconds no joke.) Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

2024-04-10 20:54:01 +0000 UTCMy sun is The Stranger, My moon is The buried (I can’t STAND the buried it would eat me so fast) and my rising is the spiral and the eye. Good aesthetics with those beans
Cas Rogers
2024-03-25 14:20:19 +0000 UTCJumping on this train super late, but TMA my beloved 🩷 I must partake in the discourse. Sun: The Lonely for sure. Oh man do I love being alone, dude. I’m truly just a reclusive hermit who prefers being alone. (And yes, I am depressed and worry about being fundamentally unloveable but that’s not as fun as saying “I like ✨me time✨ all the time”.) Moon: The Corruption is eating me so fast. Parasites, mould, decay and fungus? Get tf away from me with that noise. Nuh-uh no thanks, I genuinely can’t think about it without feeling anxious. Also? Leave me aloneeee why would I want to be a part of a hive mind and be fundamentally understood? That’s only stuff that happens in fiction duh. (Runner up: The Vast because gross.) Rising: 100% the Eye. At my core, I am just nosey person that just loves knowing shit. Eyes, archives, libraries and the unrelenting pursuit of knowledge as an aesthetic? Sign me up! I know academia is super toxic and elitist but it’s also super sexy. My big three are so autistic-coded it’s insane lmfao 10/10 video as always ⭐️

2024-03-23 13:35:53 +0000 UTCI can’t weigh in on what fear I am yet. I was unaware of this podcast till this video. I’m 5 episodes in and I am in LOVE with this podcast. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

2024-01-15 16:15:14 +0000 UTCI’m very late to the party but like…. The lonely? Gonna make a five-course meal outta me. For sure
chronic_escapee
2024-01-09 18:57:21 +0000 UTCLate to the party but I can't resist Sun: this was a toss up between the flesh and the hunt but I think I lean a little more towards the hunt. I do love biting Moon: oh the corruption is gonna eat me so bad I cannot stand maggot and swams of bugs they make me want to tear my skin off. Close second would be whatever fear is sea monsters. I can't be doing with sea monsters Rising: I don't know what it is but the stranger has such a good aesthetic, the uncanny mannequins, the clown puppets, THE ANGLERFISH are you kidding me no contest. The runner up would be the desolation for fire and having the hottest avatar Also mood I cannot watch another horror show without going "omg this is so the slaughter coded"

2024-01-07 23:04:26 +0000 UTCGenuinely gotta go with Sun: Eye, Moon: Lonely, and Rising: Eye. Way to nosy for my own good
Simon Morrow
2023-12-14 02:51:27 +0000 UTCTaking notes during the video: Sun: The Vast. I am always thinking about our place in the grand scheme of the cosmos; thinking about the cosmos's origins, its meanings, its future and potentiality. Being on planes feels transcendant to me. The Vast enthralls me. I'm definitely teleporting people to the top of a tall tower. Sorry! Moon: The Extinction! No contest here. My heart sank as soon as you got to it. It's eating me!! Rising: The Vast again!! Almost forgot I could do repeatsies. I love the aesthetics of the sky, the sun, the moon, and stars!! I love thinking about the universe and its infinite potential. We're small in it, and I think that's pretty amazing, considering how big our world already feels.

2023-12-13 23:52:47 +0000 UTCI apologize for the long post, I've thought too much about this
Azure
2023-12-13 07:04:00 +0000 UTCSun: probably the end for like, pretty much the exact reasons described. Death is also my favorite tarot card, I know tma is dealing specifically with the scary and bad aspects of these things but I do take some comfort in the idea of death as change and as both end and also beginning. Everything is impermanent and will one day end to make space for something new. Moon: either the lonely or the vast. I had recurring nightmares as a child of being lowered in a bathysphere into the depths of the ocean. So I think after the eyepocalypse I'd end up in a fear domain that was just that but also I'm completely alone and know there's no one coming, which feels pretty easy to imagine in that scenario. I like space but with both my fear of heights and of the open ocean, there's no way the vast isn't eating me. I could also probably just end up in the lonely but thats both less interesting and less fun to think about. Rising: Maybe the Hunt? I had a wolf phase as a middle schooler and I think the sort of aesthetic of wolves and large predatory animals is pretty cool. I love werewolves and spooky looking creatures. The cop thing is kind of a turn off though. Tbh I feel my rising could also be The End, I love bones and that whole aesthetic a lot....the Flesh could also be a contender for rising, I do love some good body horror media.
Azure
2023-12-13 07:03:25 +0000 UTCAlso, my Sun is definitely the Eye, Moon is… well, most of the other ones on varying levels, but I think predominantly Web, Corruption, The Dark, and the Buried. Rising is The Eye and also The Hunt I think. The Hunt because I’m a monster fucker (lol) and werewolves have big Hunt energy.
Wyatt Fons
2023-11-01 15:27:31 +0000 UTCThe Magnus archives fucked me up in a way where, having no previous history of anxiety or panic attacks, I had anxiety related to it for like, a month afterward, and started having a panic attack out of nowhere while being driven home (at night, in a suburb, with flickering streetlights). Do not regret watching it, still hate the last two episodes though.
Wyatt Fons
2023-11-01 15:23:24 +0000 UTCI loved this video! When you described the eye I was like "Yeah this is my Sun" and I expected that to change throughout the video but it didn't. I just enjoy knowing things regardless of what they are and although the extremely judgy part of myself is mostly gone, if I could read minds I would never be bored ever again. My moon is the Spiral, but maybe the stranger? I don't really know which one, my fear is specifically experiences of being gaslit by people who I decide to trust more than I trust myself. My rising is 100% the extinction, my whole deal as a person is uncovering old or abandoned things and either making them into something new or just appreciating them

2023-10-13 05:08:31 +0000 UTCThe Magnus Archives is just a lovely work of horror fiction. There is not a single statement I do not appreciate, even the ones that don't particularly scare me are remarkably well done. And that's not even to mention how queer and anti capitalist it is. That being said, my Sun is the End. I'm the type of goth girl that read Sandman and just fell in love with Death as a character and concept. My Moon has to be the Web, even though I kinda like spiders I cannot stand the idea of my agency being taken away, my freedom and autonomy subject to the whims of some greater authority. And my Rising's probably the Eye, I love me that neon green eye aesthetic!
Calliope Lagunas
2023-10-05 02:03:21 +0000 UTCnever listened to TMA bc it came out towards the end of the indie fiction podcast boom when i already had so many pods i was committed to and then after those started ending i didn't pick it up bc of a former (incorrect) assumption that i didn't like horror (bc i hadnt seen any good horror) and also got irritated by overexposure from my beloved podcast mutuals. anyway, sun corruption, moon vast, rising end
Styx
2023-09-05 10:08:52 +0000 UTCSun is definitely Dark. Moon is so hard to just single out for me between Stranger, Spiral, and Eye but if I have to pick it's the Stranger because their episodes stuck out the most to me and were the ones that terrified me the most. Vast rising 100% not so much for big ocean stuff but the sky and space and just massive architecture and what not are so cool. Great video and a great podcast to listen to. Should not have started it when I just started working 3rd shift at a hotel front desk.

2023-08-29 13:31:23 +0000 UTCok tunrs out im dark rising hehehehehe
Aidan Kassis, the Stronger Aidan
2023-08-26 21:53:57 +0000 UTCI'm a spiral sun because lying is fun! I'm definitely an eye moon and a dark rising
The Plum Satyr
2023-08-26 20:33:38 +0000 UTCI think I might be Lonely Sun AND moon (not gonna. think about that one too terribly hard) and Web Rising. I havent gotten to that part of the video yet so i guess we’ll see what that means abt me
Aidan Kassis, the Stronger Aidan
2023-08-26 19:46:42 +0000 UTCSuggestion: Slaughter Rising is people who think blood and bruises are hot?
Aidan Kassis, the Stronger Aidan
2023-08-26 19:42:59 +0000 UTCI think I’m Vast sun (despite being scared of heights) because I love deep sea and space stuff and also I like the metaphysical aspects, like that Simon Fairchild about there being lots of apocalypses and this one only feeling special because it’s happening to you is honestly kinda comforting to me? Desolation moon because uh. Basically everything you listed as examples of desolation moon (although I too love Agnes and also Jude’s voice is incredible). Also honorable mention to the Lonely because I should Not have listened to that Daedalus episode at 3 am in the middle of quarantine. And Flesh rising because I’m a biology/medical nerd who loves bones and how weird bodies are, and also things like the show Yellowjackets and the Locked Tomb books
Will
2023-08-21 09:49:53 +0000 UTCPutting 'no' for every single sun category is truly the realest thing I have ever seen, you are so correct for that and you will survive every temptation towards the dark side.
Haley Whipjack
2023-08-20 03:05:54 +0000 UTCI *adore* TMA so much. I do think the fact that the entities are so intertwined is part of what makes them so interesting to me. My sun would be The Dark, all else aside, I literally don’t use my main light and have one (1) lamp to use when I want any light you can’t directly call me out in the video and expect a different answer 😂. Moon is the corruption. Fuck bugs. Rising would be the flesh becau-💪MEAT HOLE!💪MEATHOLE!💪MEAT HOLE! 💪MEAT HOLE! 💪
MurfWozEre
2023-08-18 14:04:35 +0000 UTCI can’t stand podcasts, but I did just start reading the transcript! I think my Sun is The Eye, bc I really like astrology n shit XD(I’m also a psych nerd). My moon is The Buried, bc oh my god I cannot handle being stuck in one place. Every nightmare I’ve ever had has involved not being able to speak or no one believing/listening to me, and I think that lines up w buried. and my rising is also The Spiral, it just slays too hard 💅✨I love that shit have always wanted to make my art more like it. This video was so fun!!! 🩷

2023-08-18 00:08:57 +0000 UTCYou have introduced me to so many different pieces of media that I know I would enjoy! Can't wait to start obsessing over this one :) As for my Sun I would also be the end. It is so comforting to know that I will be dead for much longer than I will be alive. My moon is the dark. I can't STAND the dark. That bitch would eat me so bad. And my rising is the stranger. Taxidermy is my jam, and that surreal uncanny valley aesthetic is so nice. I wouldn't like to be replaced. That doesn't sound like a fun time. I'm just saying it's kinda cool when something is described as "almost human".
JellieBun
2023-08-17 14:29:21 +0000 UTCMy sun is probably the Hunt. Simply based on life choices. My moon is the Web, I am 1) wholely incapable of dealing with the idea of being controlled, 2) spiders are my natural enemy, I am so afraid of them. My rising is probably the Vast or the end, Im a big fan of wide open sky. Big fan of that imagery. Anyways, Nice one!
Zebe Loun
2023-08-17 13:57:47 +0000 UTCHELL YES!! Magnus Archives my beloved ❤️❤️❤️ It consumes my brain and the is truly no escape My sun was deffo the hardest for me to settle on, but its probably the vast. I loove everything in the ocean. Its both the coolest shit I've ever seen and it still terrifies me at the same time, which i feel is probably the only correct thing for an avatar of any fear really My moon? The web would eat me so fast. Theres no debate there is zero chance of survival. Im good with spiders, spiders are cool. Everything else? It hurts me so bad. For rising i'll have to go with the desolation. i have many thoughts on the desolation, but the main one is that as a person who lives in an area where literally anything and everything catches fire every summer it really should hit me harder. The desolation should be eating me, but instead I have a fire evac bag under my bed and live with the knowledge that a town several hours away no longer exists because it burnt to the ground and i just... continue on with my life. Anyways don't let the horrors consume you too bad, you and the magnus archives both rule, and have a good whatever time of day(or night) you're reading this!
Kittykittylargepaws
2023-08-17 06:05:01 +0000 UTC1) This rules and I WILL be making my friends do this, 2) After thinking on it, I am a Dark Sun, a Vast moon, and a Spiral rising, tysm. :)
Jayne
2023-08-13 08:00:12 +0000 UTCI am an Eye Sun, a Corruption moon, and a desolation rising It destroys me that there are things I can not and will never experience I cannot stand the idea of bug swarms, or bugs in my home Fire is rad as hell and I like Looking At It. :) very good video
Oliver Denny
2023-08-09 04:08:37 +0000 UTCThis is soooo hard, but I would have to be a web sun (alternate is the eye) and then my moon. I can't decide if it's the spiral or the lonely for similar reasons. I'm afraid of losing my mind, which could potentially leave me alone. As for rising, I think I have to go with stranger; they do such fun work.
Eli Gibson
2023-08-07 18:51:48 +0000 UTCSun: The Buried, for sure, because the calmness and peace that man felt when he slept in all the graves that he dug was so calming to me. Also I do fucking love to dig, absolutely love to build an entire trench at the beach. Oh and LOVE a bog body. Moon: The dark, I am scared of her, but love a void, because I am a hypocrite. Hated hearing “the blanket never did anything”, that broke me for a solid week and I did have to take a small break from the show. Rising: The Vast, I hate that bitch so affectionately. Thinking about heights make me feel sick, the ocean is something I hate to think about, we as a species have no business to ever explorer a single inch of the sea, that is not for us. But absolutely stan space, she is perfect to me. But the vast is everything to me aesthetically, once again i love a void, I love the concept of and endless plane. Honourable mention for Rising goes to The Web, I will never forgive Jonathan Sims (the man, and the character) for the line saying that when a spider grows large enough, it is no longer made up entire of just spider. Hate the web so bad. But Annabelle means the world to me.
Lawson
2023-08-07 10:25:00 +0000 UTCVery fun video! I'm gonna ask other people I know who like TMA what theirs are. I am very much Vast Sun, I used to want to be a pilot, for part of my degree now I'm studying atmospheric science, and just in general, wide open spaces tend to be very calming for me. Moon was kinda tricky, but probably the Extinction. The climate crisis and other ecological issues are a big reason why I chose the major that I did. Rising is probably the End. I have some knowledge of cemetery symbology(granted it's not too much, but I would bet I know more than the average person) and so I just find cemeteries and graveyards pretty neat places to be.

2023-08-05 19:21:17 +0000 UTCI loved Magnus when I was listening to it. I think I listened to every episode but I wasn’t able to binge it, too scary. I had some debates for all three, but I settled on these. Sun: Web - unfortunately the ~trauma~ has made me an excellent hyper-vigilant social engineer. I need to know exactly what’s going on and I have a plan for every one of your reactions. Alt were vast (just sounds peaceful) and corruption (being a part of something) Moon: Lonely - correct assessment I am depressed (or at least was) and also have abandonment issues 😅 Martin my beloved, my favorite episode was the one where he went “I AM NOT ALONE ANYMORE. I AM IN LOVE.” I cried. I criiiied. Alt were the desolation (you make fire Jesus, that’s religious trauma), corruption (bugs ew no), buried (fear of the burnt out gifted kid TM), web (religious trauma: Calvinism edition), and eye (religious trauma: Calvinism edition pt 2) Rising: Desolation, fire my beloved. Candles, fire places, fire pits, I just really enjoy fire. Alt were vast (again, peaceful) and stranger (theatre kid babey)

2023-08-05 18:38:26 +0000 UTCOh I love a new personality quiz!! My mind was not changed about what I initially thought I would be an avatar of but I did get called depressed! I would be a Vast Sun, nothing in the world is more heavenly than floating in water with my eyes closed, I love being a tiny speck within the infinite, and the ocean is my darling, very mysterious, wife. I am a Corruption moon, it will eat me so fast I am shivering and thinking of all kinds of scenarios right now, I am not a bug guy and I hate being sick and it happens so often And I am a Stranger Rosing which is to say, a theater kid.
FoolerywithNorrie
2023-08-04 20:42:15 +0000 UTCyou have no idea how thoroughly tma has had me at a choakhold for the past two years! but okay so avatar would be spiral in the way of michael, the pure fascination and fear of deception and lies would get me good. i would be eaten by the stranger so easily. and for pure vibes it’s gotta be the eye imagery for me! thank you for your service this was SUCH a fun experiment to watch spiral (hah puns)!
