Elias please this deeply traumatized him
randomly got annoyed again today at fandom portrayals of elias as a luddite. you think the world's most powerful avatar of beholding would be.... behind the times? ignorant to the progress of technology? even if you choose to ignore the fact that the digital age revolutionized beholding as a dread power (going from something tied much more closely to the hunt to something so much more exestential and all-consuming... the surveilance state! online surveilance! wiretapping! data gathering! predatory privacy policies! the zoom boom! etc!!!) and that the evolution of recording technology is how the institute was able to function as efficiently as it did to tell us its story... why would it ever make sense to you that the world's most powerful beholding avatar would remain wilfully ignorant of... anything. let alone wilfully ignorant of how the vast majority of the world functions and communicates. plus his greatest fear is death!! you think he isn't up to date on all the most prominent medical advances? that's just a willful misreading of the text.
I did a dread wolf tarrot though I honestly have no idea what I'm doing here😭😭😭
Cleaned this old piece after re-listening to tma :)
Elias Bouchard/Jonah Magnus is trans send post
not huge on anime and i’ve never heard a vocaloid song in its entirety but every time i see miku i’m like yeah baby it’s miku that’s my friend miku
have tremendous respect for anyone capable of imagining elias as a father figure in any context because I personally believe that appearances aside that man would drop a baby looking you dead in the eyes going “ah it must’ve slipped”
🤫💀
Ooooooo elias bouchard you are so annoying to me.
