Okay I've been thinking about the lil cute therian fic I've been writing, and I think I know how I wanna end it and it's like. Very much self indulgent not really accurate to the mechanisms canon and way too cute but the thing is I can do whatever I want forever so I think Im gonna do it (I'm only like idk 1/3 done tho so don't get too excited fjdnfjndn)

#okay like im gonna spoil it in tags #this is my warning there will be nothing else in the tags #so basically in the fic youre a dog that got kidnapped by the mechs with a bunch of your coworkers #a heist just for fun and to kill some random people out of boredom #but you survive on the ship bc you hide #but then Tim finds you and at first jonny tells him to kill you like the rest #but tim is like. hold on. that person is not a human i dont think. i don't wanna kill an animal #and jonny is like this is stupid. but whatever. were gonna put it back on earth were not keeping it timothy #and thats pretty much all i have for now #but then you just kinda. hang around on the aurora while youre going back to earth and you meet a few of the other mechs #they all have different reactions to you but in the end everyone somewhat accepts that youre a dog #and i wasnt sure how to end it #one option was to just go back home and be done with this silly little adventure and go back to living a normal life as a person #but youre happy you finally met some people that accept you for what you are even if for a moment #the other option would be to stay on the ship kind of as a pet #but that felt a bit off to me because youre not a literal dog youre a human that is a dog yknow. and that feels a bit too. idk weird #but i think i got the solution #what if. you get mechanized #and your human body is replaced with an anthro dog. so you can still be a thinking person you were but with a body that makes sense #like kind of like a permanent fursuit but more metal #and yeah that doesnt make much sense in the mechs canon like thats too nice of them and ill have to think of a good reason for that #but wouldnt that be just. so cute #like thats honestly the dream #i love robots and i am a dog so. if i could get mechanized to be a steel furry id agree right away like not even think about it #kind of like in that one love robots and death episodes with the kitsune #that scene where she transforms into a robot fox is my favorite in the whole ep i think and it honestly gives me species euphoria #so yeah i think im gonna ignore canon for that one but and give the reader/mc a sweet happy ending #and now youre a doggy pirate in space surrounded by people who are okay with that!!! isnt that the best #therian #bee buzz

babysitter!robin and little!eddie hurt/comfort?

Eddie and Jonathan were running through Steve’s house playing a mix of hide n go seek and tag. Robin and argyle sat on the couch in conversation, drinking tea and eating Argyle’s ‘special cookies’. The house was so peaceful, only occasionally being interrupted by bursts of giggles.

The day was perfect… until they heard a crash and sobs. Robin and Argyle shot off the couch and began frantically looking for the boys. “Eddie?! Jonny?!” They found Eddie under a broken bookshelf and Jonathan desperately trying to pull him out from under it. The shelf was actually relatively light but with the bulk of it, lifting it was a two man job. Robin and Argyle lifted it off him and set it so it wouldn’t fall again. “Auntie Robin!” Eddie sobbed as he threw himself into the woman’s arms. She comforted him while Argyle tried to find out what happened.

Once the boys had calmed down enough, they found out that Jonathan had accidentally chased Eddie into the shelf, causing it to break & fall on him. Robin looked the boys over, checking for any scrapes or bruises. Thankfully both boys seemed fine other than a small bump on Eddie’s head.

Argyle called Steve to tell him about the shelf and that Eddie was fine. Steve was a bit upset about the shelf but was mostly relieved that his baby was ok. “I won’t be home until seven. Let Eddie pick dinner, it’ll make him feel better. He’ll probably pick pizza so make sure he eats some kind of vegetable for snack today. Okay?” Argyle laughed at the man’s serious tone. “Okay, i think i saw some carrots and celery in the fridge. Those okay?” “Yeah that’s perfect. Oh and keep an eye on your special cookies, i dont wan’t a repeat of ‘the incident’.” A few months ago, argyle accidentally left out a box of his ‘special cookies’ while babysitting Eddie and the boy ate all of them. “Yes, Steve, Me and Robin ate the last of them to prevent a disaster like that from happening again.” Steve wasn’t sure if he should be amused or annoyed. “Very funny. Now i have to get back to work, you have been warned.”

Argyle hung up the phone and walked to the living room. Eddie & Jonathan’s faces were being decorated. They had bows & braids in their hair and makeup & stickers on their grinning faces. They were absolutely beaming as Robin tried to hold them still to avoid poking their eyes with makeup brushes.

“Bubba!” Jonathan squealed. He got up and pulled his caregiver to the couch so them & Robin could ‘make him pretty’. His heart was fluttering as the adorable little boys did his hair & makeup. He pulled the boys in for a hug and peppered their faces with kisses.

The moment was too cute for Robin to pass up. She ran to grab her camera and quickly returned. “Say cheese!” She took a picture of what may be the happiest boys she’d ever seem. “Silly boys.” She said, smiling, as she went to play with the boys & caring stoner. “I love my pretty boys.”

Sorry for saying it like that, but sometimes I would like some of your mutuals to learn to shut up. Simone has spoken several times about Kathony and not just about a dance. I know it's not their fault but now these people are saying that those "misogynists and racists fans" only care about their white man and that they will drag Simone if necessary. I know it wasn't their intention but they have given them a reason to continue criticizing Jonny. I know this sounds bad but it's always the same circle. Some fans say something, they say JB fans (even if they are also Simone's, as much or more) are shit and her anons start filling his tag. I don't even care about actors anymore, but I loved Kathony and I can't watch it the same anymore. I know it's not your fault but it's very frustrating. Simone has spoken several times about Kathony and we have a lot to thank her for and it's okay to admit it. Jonathan hasn't said anything and there is nothing wrong with that as some fans (annie and co) are trying to imply.

i get where you are coming from.

only two of the people who called that person out are my mutuals, and it is not the person annie is arguing with on twitter currently.

i honestly dont know how many times simone has or hasnt mentioned kanthony.

the reason why my mutuals called that person out is because their tweet was shady af towards jonathan - even though HE has never been asked about kanthony as much as simone has been

this isnt the first time annie and her lot have implied how simone cares more about kanthony and made it into a bad thing that jonathan supposedly does not (annie uses jonny naming violet and edmund as his favourite bridgerton couple as proof)

so this isnt new at all, and that is why they were called out.

look, annie does not need a reason to attack jonathan at this point as we all have seen. she does that every time the man moves. it looks like she is a bigger fan of him than we are bc her whole personality is about him. i know she is now calling him a rat or something and that’s not the first insult she has come up with. she will continue blaming jonathan bailey for all of the world’s problems as according to her, he is the most horrible person on this planet

she is one of the most racist and homophobic members of this fandom and she will NOT stop spreading her bigotry.

i do understand though that as a fan of jonathan is it frustrating to see him and his fans being dragged unnecessarily in the tags, especially with his new show airing and new fans joining his fandom, and have lies spread about him and his fans.

but please know that annie and her lot are a minority. a vocal one, but a minority nonetheless. they are white women who have no jobs and only token stan a woc to make themselves feel better and NOTHING MORE.

they aren’t true simone fans and thank god for that because simone deserves so much better than them.

at this point I don’t even want jonathan to speak about kanthony anymore. to hell with that show I honestly dont care. i knew annie would be pissed that he didn’t say anything - she is pissed when he does and when he doesnt, you cannot win at all bc as i said, she needs no readon to hate - hating on jonathan is her actual job atp.

i really don’t know what to tell you anon bc I completely understand your frustrations but I also cannot control what my mutuals tweet. the most i can do is show them this anon, but please be aware that annie will still hate on him and spread lies about him

#anons #jonathan bailey #simone ashley #i think the whole fandom is aware atp that annie only lies #and is unhinged #but its annoying to see lies being spread about your fave #i get that too #hence my occasional outbursts on twitter #bridgerton

stealing my own tags for a post lol

my main thing is that the q&as make jonny's feeling on making a continuation pretty clear, but also art and money and time passing after a project so who knows

the '2' has thrown me through a bit of a loop but i still dont think theyre making a sequel? because it would be a Wild and very anticlimactic way to announce that sort of thing as just a decipherable clue.

if theyre making new content im banking on either post-eyeapocalypse what-the-girlfriends stuff for halloween (yay ghost hunters can now explore spooky houses without actually dangerous shit) or maybe a short alternate universe thing. like if they Did want something with jon or martin (they sure did bring him back for the teaser) or both it would have to be in one of the Other universes. my main sticking point is not wanting our jon or martin back, theyre fucked!! lol

but maybe in time ill eat my words because TMA (jumps in the air) 2!!! turns out to be something that in hindsight becomes so part of TMA that ill shake my past self for ever not wanting it. Big Shrug Emoji

would love more spooky creepypasta audio shit from jonny. love shortform horror, love his delivery. but also ive grown comfortable with a story i like being finished. time to wait two weeks and and be normal about it

#tma #the magnus archives #tma spoilers #do i think it's possible for jonny and everyone to make a good sequel. yes #they did in fact make what i can probably say at this point is My Favorite Thing #do sequels and continuations of good things often turn out bad. also yes #and theyve said previously that they had no real interest in making more #At The Same Time for many reasons people have gone back and decided to make more of a finished product #whether its because time makes the story feel more fresh and easy to work on #or because yknow. gotta make stuff to eat #hell they could make a true sequel and even knock it out of the park and make me eat my words! #/points at RQ/ do not ruin this for us

Nastya has days where she exclusively speaks Cyberean. 

No particular reason, she just does that, and only The Aurora understands her.

“Как думаешь, сколько нам ещё тут лететь?“

(Jonny overhearing that) “Huh?“

“Я не с тобой разговариваю“

“Oh, is it one of those days?“

“Ага“

(mockingly) “What’s the deal even, do you miss your home or something?“

“Ты правда думаешь, что я по той дыре скучаю?“

(not understanding a word of that) “Well, I just thought I’d ask“

“Уйди уже“

“I’ll leave you to it then“

“Пасиб“

I’m glad you all are having fun with your “the mechanisms was the archivist’s college band” headcanon but. I feel bad enough for jonny having to share a name with the guy I don’t want him to have to share his entire uni experience with him.

 (also imo jon was never cool especially not in college)

#i dont want to make ppl feel bad for liking it but it makes me really uncomfortable #bc that's a majorly significant experience of a person's life you're taking & putting on a fictional character? #the magnus archives #tma #jonathan sims #jonny d'ville #the mechanisms #please at least have a universal tag for this au so i can stop seeing it forever thanks

i like tumblr because i can like a ton a posts and no one bats an eye but i feel like i like one post on twitter and then i will be eaten

#shitpost #kinda a shitpost #i feel watched #watched and judged #i tag one creator and i immediately feel ashamed #this is about jonny sims #and dave malloy #like both definetly dont care #but i feel like they do

[sassraa]

being in a big fandom where people treat an itty bitty group of creatives trying to do what they love under the strain of capitalism EXACTLY like a tv show made by a media conglomorate is exhausting. sometimes i look at the way people criticize tma and im like "wow i hope nothing i make ever gets this big bc idk how i would handle it emotionally"

#text #ramblings #it's funny because people always talk about the negative reactions hitting harder than positive ones when ur looking at responses #to your OWN work #but it feels like that when ur trying to enjoy something that connects deeply that someone else made as well #this is NOT! about the racial stuff btw that shit is valid to point out to jonny #we should hold people and companies to the same standards wrt racism #it's more about publically complaining that the podcast quality has 'gone downhill' #and continuing? to? listen to it? while talking nonstop in the tags about how much it sucks? #like full offense but i dont want to see that shit when im in the tma tag! im going there cuz i enioy the podcast! #the magnus archives

[aptronyms]

i think jonny is the eene character most likely to be scene. or at least talk like a scene kid

#neon.txt #ok a bit of cringe in the tags #anyway ive been writing an eene chatfic not to like post or anything #its just fun to do like when i dont have wifi #and i always have the urge to make jonny use xD or x) it just feels so right? #jonny: rawr xD *nuzzles chu*

[alorz]

the tma fandomspace makes me so unbelievably miserable i wish ppl could be normal. why do they .... feel the need to harrass eachother and the creators CONSTANTLY.... DON'T YOU GET BORED...???

#holding creators accountable for bad behaviour is valid but that isn't what has been happening for so fucking long #its a weird parasocial relationship yall thjnk u have w jonny and the fact that ppl feel like they can like #badmouth the entire fucking podcast because he makes episodes abt sensitive content until you essentially hold a guy at gunpoint until he #confesses that hes writing about his own traumatic experiences #do yall not see how demented that is. #im fine #anyways i dont kinn i'm 32 was so fucking funny and he had to delete the tweets because PEOPLE STARTED HARRASSING THE ORIGINAL KID WHO #ASKED HIM IM THE FIRST PLACE..!!!! #this fandom is fucking nightmarish for ppl deciding the way they consume media is the end all be all of validity and anyone differing is not #only wrong but essentially evil. and i'm tired of it ♡ grow up its a PODCA #pers #JACK COMPLAINING HEAVILY #negative #ask to tag #i jist wanna be able to open twitter without getting sad yknow?

[deadmunds-ghostbee]

You’re a sensible and level headed person in the Bridgerton fandom, what is your take on the EW feature? I don’t think I’m a super reactionary person, however, I’ve had a creeping feeling that S2 just isn’t going to be good (both critical reception wise and fan response/satisfaction). TVWLM is the best book and they’re bungling with it for some reason…

Haha I'm glad I seem sensible! Yes I try to keep this a relatively drama and discourse free blog.

That being said, I've turned off my asks for the next day or so because I'm gonna write big long fun posts about the new content we got today but don't have the time to answer anything beyond this one.

To be honest, my first reaction to the article wasn't actually how I personally felt about it. I saw that Jonny and Simone weren't the cover and I thought, 'oh dear, people are going to have things to say about this.' And they did and they still do about many of the things mentioned in the article. Which is obviously fine.

Onto my thoughts: Entertainment weekly is no award-winning publication. There were points where I thought the journalist extrapolated to a hilarious amount (like in the post introducing the characters, they implied that Theo Sharpe and Eloise would be good for each other??) and points where it was just hot air.

I DONT EXPECT ANYONE TO READ ALL THIS BUT HERE GOES

The cast had some insightful things to say about themes and commentary, and ultimately I have no real opinion on the fact that they focused on the side characters a lot. Those characters are a sure bet. It's press and I won't claim to understand marketing or the semantics of scheduling. I do think it would be weird if we never got a Jonny Simone cover somewhere at some point, though.

In terms of bungling it, safest assumption is that it's a bit of a wash? What are the chances that it'll be amazing? What are the chances it'll be theworstfuckingthingever? Small for both. There will be good and bad and it will certainly never be 'great' with the way it bites off way more than it can chew in terms of class, race, and even women's issues. In terms of pulling off a good romance, though, I have faith.

The actors (Jonny in particular) have shown very keen understanding of their characters, and they continue to hone in on important character beats such as Kate's utter devotion to her family and Edwina. I don't think Kate and Anthony's story can be bad with good performances and chemistry, and a basis of the characters we love. Even if it *is* bad, nothing's ruining Kathony for me because I'm not letting it lol.

This opinion may get me in trouble: I personally don't really care how well it is perceived critically or by GA or my followers. I only care that I like it myself (which I am determined to do within reason), and that I can continue to enjoy writing/reading fic. How good the subsequent seasons are also isn't something I care about, but for the rest of the fandom's sakes, I hope yall enjoy it.

Critics usually overexaggerate and GA (and by that I mean, non-internet ppl who don't think too hard about it) are easy to please. I don't think it'll do the same numbers but whatever. The promo isn't a disaster but it could probably be better.

Now onto the last part which is probably what a lot of the question was about.

I think the largest points of contention in the article were the "Bombay" thing (which people have rightly complained about. I'm no history wizard and I'm also a white girl from the American midwest so I don't want to play any role in the discourse other than listen. Anxiety is warranted and I hope it is aptly criticized when it comes out). And the 'triangle' thing.

I think we've gotten to a point today where people are mostly trying to be positive in the tag after a chaotic afternoon. I agree. The words seemed offhand, innocuous, meant for GA, and also infused into the article without hearing it straight from Jonny's mouth. Passing interest from Edwina or Anthony will probably last two seconds.

This may be bold, but even if Edwina is into him, or (worst case scenario?? And HIGHLY unlikely) upset about the marriage or even if Anthony PROPOSES/almost marries her, it would be a wild divergence but I wouldn't completely hate it. Kate's twofold guilt/turmoil would be interesting. This wouldn't just be "fighting over a boy," it's been driven home that Edwina and Kate are soulmates, and that they are adding depth to the relationship. So the worst case scenario is only moderately upsetting for me, but I have more hope than that anyway. We've been conditioned by popular media to assume all love triangles are bad. Drama can be annoying but it can also leave room for character development. it's a generally interesting narrative choice to have characters be into someone that isn't their true love beforehand (a la Siena), which, in a show that boasts its "progressivism" and a fandom which wants it to be even more so, is a more modern idea.

Adding drama and complexities to subplots in order to give your cast things to do can be okay if done right. Promo isn't the nail in the coffin for actual screen time and even if Kathony is only on screen for a half or third of the time, 4 hours of content is better than nothing. That ratio will only continue in later seasons as they keep adding to the cast. Polin's story will be so bloated with Danbury and Queen stuff and Eloise drama and setting up the next phase of the show if they even have it, so why cross compare?

So tldr

The best way to think about S2 is a fun AU, no expectations. Whatever the s2 is, it may be show-canon but it isn't gospel.

If you don't like s2 then it shouldn't ruin your entire bridgerton experience. It's okay to be disappointed, but like, being disappointed is what real life is for. It's not coming anywhere near my escapism.

***

Now that this essay is over I'm gonna write a post abt actual theories!! If you made it this far, Godspeed homie.
