More eye halo plus give him a friend!!!
You said your favourite thing was Eli's abilities to ignore reality. Can you elaborate on what you mean? Some examples?
I think him in vegenful when he was at EON is a great example of how inside his own head Eli can be, he just seems to convince himself that he's right and nothing will ever stop him, like, yes keep talking to the "ghost" even after connecting that he was alive, do it! delusion at it finest.
I think this might be one of the most striking traits of his character and how he reasons things, a lot of people just hate him for how he called the cops on Victor and if you just try to follow his vision it makes sense! come with me for this one.
- I feel strange after becoming a EO, like something is missing, apathy and emptiness, loss of fear, so I try to "protect" the only person I consider a friend, this person kills my girlfriend and lies to me even after I saying it shouldn't be done like that, I call the police, he comes back and stabs me, and uses his power on me, confirming my "suspicions" that EOs are in fact inherently evil and wrong I no longer recognize my best friend as himself but rather a "devil" who is using his body. -
at the end of the day I think a lot of Eli is how he rationalizes and tries to fit together pieces of a narrative that doesn't go against him being exposed as wrong or as monstrous, or not holy, for various reasons, being a martyr? maybe his general relationship with religion and how he sees himself as a person? What he knows is that he can't be wrong, it can't be true, if he's wrong what would become of him? Then god hates him, and god doesn't hate him. if he can't die. There's a reason. It has to be one.
"Wouldn’t You?” He cut deeper, through to bone, over and over, until the floor was red. Until he’d given his life to God a hundred times, and a hundred times had it given back. Until the fear and the doubt had all been bled out of him. And then he set the knife aside with shaking hands. Eli dipped his fingertips in the slick of red, crossed himself, and got back to his feet. " Part Two; Chapter IV, Vicious.
Many people wonder, why does he kill other EOs if he himself is one, doesn't he consider himself unnatural too? when in fact it is more he has convinced himself that he is different and that this has a purpose! he clearly doesn't like being an EO and appears to admit that he would kill himself if he could, he literally tried too, but if he can't then this has to be something bigger than him right? he can't be a sinner, against God's nature, God obviously has a mission for him! Because God loves him.
Anyway, I just wanted to give a bigger picture of how I think Eli works as a character, I think too much about this guy, sorry for the delay in responding, and thanks for the question!
happy villains series publication day to those who celebrate! 🎉
tweet 1: "happy international lesbian day, if you use the orange and pink flag i designed and have a few bucks to spare i would really appreciate any help at all"
tweet 2: "ive been skipping meals to afford to see a specialist so even $1 helps. i have no family to ask for help."
This international lesbian day I hope some support can be extended to Emily Gwen. The flag they have made has been used by many corporations and they do not receive any money made from those sales. They are also dealing with housing insecurity and have many financial problems
their ko-fi:
Not sure how much crossover there is in the Magnus Archives, and One Piece fandoms but...
Robin would for sure be an avatar for The Eye right? Like, she actually manifests eyes in various places to spy on people and gather knowledge. Plus shes always studying ancient ruins and has a hunger to know the secrets the goverment wants locked away
As for the others,
Luffy would be a victim of The Lonely
(Gear 5 Luffy could be an avatar for the spiral if he wanted 🤷♀️)
Zoro would be an avatar for The Hunt
Nami could fall prey to The Desolation - specifically 'the destruction of potential', and it would be arlongs doing
Usopp ...victim to anything really. Going to say The End just to cover all bases
Sanji terrorized by The Web not feeling in control of his life, stuck in the designs of his birth family
Chopper The Corruption, making him fight a losing battle against disease
Franky and Brook i have no idea. An argument could be made for them as avatars of The Stranger?
Very curious to see different takes on this though!
TMA 101. Another twist
“The Eye watches, and the Stranger conceals, but me… I lie, Archivist. I am the throat of delusion incarnate.”
