I don’t know how many of you are familiar with this audio drama called The Magnus Archives (often abbreviated as MAG).

Not to get into spoiler territory, but the basic plot of MAG is that there’s a set of evil entities, one of which is called The Eye. The Eye is the manifestation of the fear of being watched, exposed, followed, of having secrets known, but also the drive to know and understand, even if your discoveries might destroy you.

SOUND FAMILIAR?!?!?

Oh, you’re not convinced? Ok. Entities have avatars, which are basically people who have a deep connection with the entities, and often embody what the entities represent. Who are the avatars of The Eye? Oh, just

THE ARCHIVIST!!!

Yes, The Archivist is a notable avatar of The Eye, whose function is to record statements from people. Shiorin is the archiver, which I suppose is lEgaLlY DisTinCT. Just a coincidence, right?

Except The Eye has another avatar… Wanna know what that one’s all about?

From the wiki:

[This avatar is] an avatar of the Eye with the ability to view any events or thoughts at will, as well as the ability to place information into other peoples’ minds. By placing his eyes into the head of someone else, he takes control of their body, ensuring that he is always the ‘heart of the institute’.

Did you read that right? By placing his eyes into the head of someone else, he takes control of their body. And what is Shiorin’s most notable feature? Oh, just HER EYES. Pic related.

Shiorin's eyes.

Oh but there’s more. Here’s some things associated with The Eye and being its avatar:

  • Insomnia
  • Hearing voices and being generally insane
  • Having different voices
  • Obsession with seeing things you shouldn’t see

Shiorin has stated she suffers from insomnia, also that people don’t think her voice is real (has different and unnatural voices), she’s clearly insane (I don’t think I have to justify this), and she likes the microscope (seeing things that are too small to see normally) and has requested to see our cells and biology. This is CLEAR AND OBVIOUS avatar of The Eye behaviour.

In conclusion

Shiori Novella is the embodiment of The Eye, and must be contained at all costs. She is manipulative, extremely dangerous, and her continued existence is likely to lead to the end of the world. It is my personal belief that the only way to stop her and her evil objectives is to subscribe to her channel and support her VTuber activities (action to the contrary may enrage her and result in our doom).
