my favorite thing about tma has always been the avatars who love the fears they serve, who show that love so vibrantly that, for just a moment, they sway you into feeling like you could learn to love that fear the way they do. when jane prentiss said "not loved as you would understand it, a deeper, more primal love, a need as much as a feeling" and when jude perry said "as the heat warped my bones and bubbled my flesh, all i heard was the loving exaltation of my god" and when mike crew said "falling had always held a special place in my heart, that wonderful border between terror and delight" and when manuela dominguez said "and at his words i felt afraid, and my heart soared in terror and elation as my eyes brimmed with tears, for i knew he spoke the truth" and when hezekiah wakely said "i had never felt such safety as within the crushing weight of earth all around me, the pressing embrace of the buried." do you get me

happy magnus archives 2 to chaos grandpas who have ever threatened to throw an office worker off a rollercoaster, podcasters unable to feel fear, goths who suck at dyeing their own hair, old ladies who are also stone cold bitches, astronauts having a crisis about how big the universe is, fire messiahs who just want one large black coffee with room for cream, dudes who just learn to live with the spooky coffin that was deposited into their home, book collecting dust eating old rat bastard avatars of the whore, cops who watched their partner walk down stone stairs that shouldn’t exist, big guys with three hearts, women who lock themselves in a research station with an impossible dark sun, and tragic lovers whose story might not be over

happy heart day from everyone's favorite eldritch office comedy podcast
[ID: A series of 10 Magnus Archives themed valentine cards. They're all done in a cartoony style in rich jewel tones, and accented with hearts.
1) Mikaele adjusts his glasses with one hand while posing with a suit jacket slung over his shoulder. he smiles flirtatiously at the viewer. text reads, "You're a rare treasure Xoxo Mikaele"
2) Jane Prentiss poses inside a cut out heart, winking at the viewer. her hair and dress are flowing, and her worms are numerous. text reads, "you'll never be lonely again. love, Jane"
3) Agnes sits with her hands wrapped around a steaming mug of coffee that is spilling onto her arm. she smiles vacantly at the viewer, the smile not quite reaching her eyes. Text reads "You make me feel normal, Valentine. Love, Agnes"
4) Manuela Dominguez stands in front of a dark sun and holds out a hand to the viewer, smiling sweetly. text reads "let's do unethical darkness sciences together. love, Manuela"
5) Oliver turns back over his shoulder and smiles a little sadly at the viewer. he's surrounded by tendrils of darkness in the shape of a heart. "Loving you is inevitable. (heart symbol) Oliver"
6) Michael Distortion curls lazily in a door frame, a rainbow spiral behind him. text reads "I'm lost in you. (heart symbol) Michael"
7) Mike Crew falls through the air, cocking an eyebrow at the viewer. text reads "I'm falling for you, Valentine. xoxo Mike"
8) Gerry's ghostly form rises out of an open book. They hold a lighter and look up at the viewer with heart eyes and a slight smile. text reads "Burn me up, Valentine. xoxo, Gerry"
9) Helen Distortion hangs upside down from a door frame, pushing herself through slightly. she grins at the viewer. "You make me spiral, Valentine. Xoxo Helen"
10) Gertrude stands with her arms crossed and turns sightly to look directly at the viewer, scowling deeply. A glowing eye is on her forehead. There are no hearts anywhere. Text reads, "No." End ID]
