the key to enjoying the magnus archives is understanding that every single person is a bitch. name a character and i can tell you right now they have the most petty bitchy tendencies. you have to understand that all of these characters are absolutely insufferable bitches and there's nothing any of us can do except say slay king live your truth. they served cunt and if innocents died along the way that's none of my business thank you

Getting into the Magnus Archives fandom before you finish the series is wild because they’ve all made a collective decision to pretend the cast loves each other and it’s all just an office drama, supported by copious fanfic and fanart and things. And then you get to the actual content and it’s like,, most of them genuinely hate each other. Not even in a cute way, they genuinely want each other to die

my headcanons for the pet names the magnus archives characters use
jon - dear. you can just hear him saying it to martin can't you. grab me the salt would you dear?
martin - sweetheart. he really only would break out the pet names when jon is being particularly pitiful and he's trying to comfort his boyfriend.
tim - babe, which he uses on everyone all the time. i firmly believe he's accidentally let babe slip out to elias once and still thought about it at night for weeks afterward. if he's being particularly annoying at the time and knows it, scrumpkins.
sasha - not a big pet name user. people have names for a reason. she'll let a darling slip out every now and again with her partner.
melanie - babe, with the occasional love peppered in when she's feeling particularly sappy.
georgie - look me in the eyes and tell me she doesn't radiate hon energy. maybe honey if she's in public.
daisy - pet names? her girlfriend isn't a dog, thank you very much.
basira - same.
elias - dear, in a very sappy and overdramatic way until it becomes his default over time.
peter - no thank you.
gerry - like tim, he really lays the pet names on thick when he's being annoying or goofing off. otherwise a simple babe will do that job
michael - shelley would say the word angel without a shred of irony in his voice because he's that kind of guy. distortion would say darling and rolls the r's just enough to make it uncomfortable

a good under-the-radar jonathan sims repression moment has to be simply never mentioning the archivist dreams. I think the first time he says something directly about them is mag 113? just a fleeting mention that his dreams are already full up and probably can't get any spookier. I see no reason why they wouldn't have started as soon as his first live statement, so that's a good [does quick math] eighteen months of extremely distinctive recurring nightmares that he just. never brings up to anyone. sure, one could easily brush those off as normal nightmares for a while, but he must have connected the dots at some point.
