#The Last Archive

[thoughtportal]

In the 1960s, Ursula K. le Guin represented a changing of the guard in science fiction literature. She was part of a generation of novelists who questioned the colonist mindset which had influenced American sci-fi for most of the 20th century. Le Guin came to this understanding not just as a moral stance or an intellectual exercise. Issues of racism and colonialism were personal to her. This episode, originally titled "The Word For Man Is Ishi,” comes from the podcast The Last Archive from Pushkin Industries hosted by Jill Lepore and Ben Naddaff-Hafrey.

"breakfast" a tma s5 animation thing

audio on:333

dawg can't even fry me an egg in this eyeconomy

[VD: A Magnus Archives animation done in orange and teal titled "Pusryčiai" (meaning: "breakfast"). Mellow music plays as Martin cracks two eggs into a frying pan. He turns away to throw the shells while the pan sizzles, and when he returns with a spatula, a "boom" sound effect plays as Martin recoils with comic disgust.

The egg yolks have been replaced by human eyeballs. Martin stares at them for a moment. He then pokes at the egg with the spatula, producing a squelching sound, and one of the eyes blinks with another gross wet sound. Martin goes from disgusted to comically sad and disappointed, and he fades away before the setting does. The video ends on the words "darė Skaistė" (meaning: made by Skaistė) and a quick shot of an eyeball. End VD]

ty @princess-of-purple-prose for the description, i edited it a bit too.

Not to beat a dead horse, but the naming conventions in the Magnus Archives are truly delightful. Jonny really said, “Here’s a cast of fascinating characters! Their names are:

My actual full legal name

The first names of my friends + the last names of famous horror writers

Michael (x4)

They all die horrible deaths :)”

#there is some overlap between the three categories #jon and at least one of the michaels also have the last names of famous horror writers #tma #the magnus archives #jonathan sims #sasha james #tim stoker #martin blackwood #michael shelley #mike crew

The three distinct types of found family:

Commits crimes together.

Fights crimes together.

Constantly switching back and forth between the other two at a horrifying speed.

“First one to leave has to read the next statement”

It’s been 48 hours

#they’ve been pissing in the sink #none of them can cook #well sasha can make a good omelette but there’s only one carton of eggs #tim’s been drinking the detergent with surprisingly no side effects #they found a dead worm and absolutely shat their pants #jon’s been sitting in the same position for the last 17 hours #martin sings in his sleep #it’s not great #tma #the magnus archives #magpod #magnus pod #tma podcast #jonathan sims #timothy stoker #tim stoker #martin blackwood #sasha james #tma fanart #tma art #the magnus protocol #tmagp

Hey anyone want to be crushed by the reality that in stopping the unknowing Jon became unknown to everything around him. He stops being Jon and becomes The Archivist and the only person who acknowledges that there's anything left of the person he was is Martin.

Nikola failed a doomed ritual but it still made the Archivist a Stranger

#jonathan sims #the unknowing #tma #the magnus archives #the archivist #writing this i also realised that it might have never been jon who loves martin #it was the Archivist abd it could be the eye holding onto its last assistant #ooo fic bait jon goes back before he was tied to the eye/before tim and sasha die and realises he hasnt got any feelings for Martin
