#circus of the other

[grahamfolgersdeliciousnotebooks]

Thinking about Jon’s time with the Circus again. Thinking about what a month spent in a refrigerated warehouse would do (because it would have to be refrigerated, wouldn’t it? it’s meant to store waxworks), just how cold his skin would be. Do you think it even still felt like his skin? Do you think his fingers brushed the skin of his arm and felt only the inhuman chill of wax, and his arm received the touch of his hand and felt only the dead press of plastic?

Thinking about how thoroughly his time with the Stranger would have made him a stranger to himself.

#i’ve been meaning to put this detail into a fic for ages but i can’t quite fit in in anywhere #i’m considering making a dedicated oneshot just to exploring jon’s relationship with his skin post-kidnapping #but i already have a couple post-kidnapping fics and i’m working on another one and i don’t want to become like. the kidnapping guy #I feel like four fics about it would be too many #so for now i’m just throwing it onto tumblr #tma #the magnus archives #tma season three #tma meta #jonathan sims #nikola orsinov #tma the stranger #circus of the other #mag 101

Okay okay, so. I'm looking through old art right? For my portfolio and stuff. And i found THIS!!!!

IT'S A FANART I WAS GONNA DO FOR A COSPLAY FRIEND!!!! They always did an awesome Nikola!! I've since deleted my tiktok and don't really have contact with them. But here's a link to their account. I've no idea what they're up to now, sorry. I just thought this was still a cool drawing and got a bit nostalgic for my time on that app. Idk maybe one day I'll finish it (unlikely).

[ID: An unfinished sketch of Nikola Orsinov from the Magnus Archives. She is a mannequin wearing the clothes of a circus ringmaster. She's posed dramatically with one hand in the air and the other extended to us, the viewer. The drawing is in the style of an old circus poster with a vintage overlay and a swirling boarder. In the top right is a circle with words that read "See the Great Grimaldi today". And at the bottom in large text is Nikola Orsinov's name. \End ID]

'I'm made of plastic, silly!' elicits a very specific image to a modern audience. One of shiny, brightly coloured modernism. Perhaps of cheap animal figures, and barbie dolls; harmless childhood toys.

But bear in mind this is said by a creature of the past. Have you ever held an antique baby doll? a weakly cast action figure? Even the case of an old typewriter? You can feel the brittle plastic, cold and rough; it feels as if it would snap under your fingers and its deceptive strength leaves your hands unsure of the density and your mind trying to figure it out.

Have you ever seen an old automaton? I read a book about them once, it was the first time I ever felt truly afraid of a puppet. Not the brash, fluffy, celebratory animal things of America, but the original European circus pieces.

One of the primary reasons a circus succeeds is spectacle: the creation of something so entirely awestriking that audiences have no choice but to gawp, and pay their fees. There's something so terrifying about not being able to look away. Sometimes not being able to see really is a good thing.

To see something that isn't a person move and talk like a person is horribly unnerving. It's far too common in this modern age, but can you imagine the terror of seeing these things firsthand for the first time, in a world where technology is scarce beyond an idea?

That fear is enough to power a thing for years to come. Enough to give it more power than a thing like that should ever have.

#I woke up super aggressively at 1am and couldn't go back to sleep until I wrote this so I hope you enjoy it! #Nikola holds a special place in my heart as someone enthusiastic about antique animatronics.... #They absolutely have the power to kill #<3 #the magnus archives #tma #the magnus institute #Jonathan Sims #Nikola Orsinov #tma the stranger #the unknowing #tma season 3 #mag 97 #tw unreality #tw mannequin #tw animatronics #circus of the other
