#bc not only is Sasha a joker in that world

[threefuckencrowsinatrenchcoat]

Whenever I do a TMA s1 relisten I love love love finding things that ended up changing over the next few seasons as the show became more fully fleshed out. Tim being serious and Sasha being the joker? Iconic. Whatever the fuck entity was leaving bags of doll heads and prayers on some random doorstep? Who even are you. How could you do that. What’s your number.

Anyway I need more of these to keep going thanks

#ikik that entity is supposed to be the flesh but I literally can’t see how idk why #Kieran’s statement being Extinction foreshadowing is my fave theory (even tho it’s def not true) #the Tim thing is only mentioned once in the Antonio Blake/Oliver Banks ep #but John says that he asked Tim to do the follow up because he wasn’t sure if one of the others had done it as a ‘bit of hazing’ #and I love that #bc not only is Sasha a joker in that world #so is Martin #maybe plotholes are the real parallel universe ngl #tma #the magnus archives #jonathan sims #jarchivist #martin blackwood #sasha james #tim stoker #the magnus institute #Elias Bouchard

An Incomplete List of Straight!TMA HCs from a Very Cursed Chat we had:

-The series ends with Jon and Georgie living in Suburban America, white picket fence and all, and Georgie's previous boyfriend, the kid that Jon fathered, and rest of the main cast are all absent

-Sasha is Jewish Representation bc she talks about Hannukah one (1) time and hacks into Bad Guys bank accounts to steal money. She's played by an American doing the worst Russian accent you can think of.

-Binary is about how technology is ruining the world

-Lots of Long Silences followed by scare chords for no reason

-Georgie gets thrown into the Lonely instead of Martin and gets saved by True Love's Makeouts (Though in one episode martin comes close and then the "you're like a brother to me" post happens and is never mentioned again.)

-Gertrude is revealed to be Jon's mother, and who the father was (elias or leitner) is a plot point.

-Annabelle confronts Jon in person during the episode "Weaver" and ties him up while giving her statement. Jon is bare chested for some reason, and Annabelle is in a minidress. This is also where the dubious consent kiss happens.

-Smirke found (and accidentally released) the Fears from an Ancient Egyptian Tomb where the they were treated as gods and were offered human sacrifices.

-However he also discovers that these ancient people were wrong and that the 14 Fear System he comes up with is actually correct

-However However in season 2 to expand the universe new monsters are added that the "Ancient Civilizations(tm)" called Phobias. Cue an entire season of monster of the week type episodes with the most basic moral lesson you can think off in the supplementals

-The coma was actually sex scenes with all the female characters in the cast

-somehow everything monstrous are referred to as "he" or "it", but the ones that are explicitly referred to as "her" looks like attractive human women with skimpy outfits

-the only exception to this is Helen's True Form which is more vaguely humanoid but still has breasts for some reason. This form is seen once, in the dark, before an explosion happens and she is buried under rubble. This is treated as a reveal that she was "ugly inside" all along

-Martin is played by a skinny guy in a fat suit and makeup. No actual fat person was consulted for this, and any messages of "maybe we should make this less fatphobic actually" were left on read

-Jon hates cats. (like in the fourth fic in the GDPR series where Peter talks about Cats as solitary creatures)

-Gerry is American and also an Edgy Misogynist

-And Julia is his Crazy Ex Girlfriend. (Trevor is her current boyfriend)

-In the Episode "Into the Trenches" Jon (and martin, but he doesn't do anything useful) defeats the Slaughter with Guns. Everyone cheers and Jon flirts with some ladies, and after being given an honorary military rank he is saluted out of the domain

-Kill Bill is Good Actually (except for the characters who helped jon, who either have to sacrifice themselves for 'the greater good' or are left alone because they're the 'good ones')

-Clowns are recurring monsters, and its always the same 3 costumes. There's a Joker™️ character that they kept using and become the big bad. The Joker character is revealed to be Nikola who survived getting blown up in the Unknowing

-The series is only set in the UK for the British accents. Everything else is suspiciously American. For example, there are guns everywhere.

-The Anglerfish is turned into a CG monster that chases the POV character around, but the POV character manages to fight it off. In a similar vein, later on to reuse assets the monsters are given "Minions", who are basically shrunken versions of monsters from previous seasons

-Jon shoots Daisy instead of Basira, after which she turns back into a human to die in his arms. Daisy completely understands why he did it. (This is also where that 'one last magical kiss' happens) Basira is not acknowledged at all.

There was more, but this was all i could bear to subject you folk to.
