the way that elias talks to jon makes my skin crawl. get off of your high horse, Mr. Most Boring Man in the World, he’s asking for your help in stopping the end of the fucking world, not asking you to do his goddamn math homework for him

#tma #the magnus archives #racheal is listening to tma #he sounds like a combination of every worst boss and every worst parent I have ever encountered #did I already use the math homework joke in my thiughts on episode 92? yeah #and I will use it again #as long as elias keeps being Like That

[rachealsaccount]

was listening to episode 162 and jon started monologuing and there was a second where I stopped what I was doing just to make sure I was still listening to tma and not the traffic report from welcome to night vale

#tma #the magnus archives #racheal is listening to tma #these episodes are very weird!! #but very good!!! #honestly very excited by the wtnv vibes

I am excited to hear your thoughts on ep 92

some notes:

what the fuck

what the FUCK

this was old news before ep 92 but honestly? I HATE that elias is like. omniscient or whatever the fuck. I Dislike That.

good on him for pulling one over on daisy though

elias telling john (over the tape at the end of the statement) that he would never have any real friends is just. an asshole move. like, fuck you, man, some people know how to have positive interpersonal relationships

I thought it was a very bold move on elias’s part to gather everyone up and just admit to murder(s)

like he clearly stated that he did not have to do that

this episode presented me with my perfect, #1 preferred scenario: daisy kills elias, then gets arrested and put away and/or murdered by some other sectioned officer. I have never been angrier than when elias opened his stupid fucking mouth and informed me that I Don’t Want Him to Die, Actually

I genuinely laughed out loud when martin said “that’s the police you’re talking about!! they wouldn’t!!”

tim “yep, that sounds about right” is just so resigned to his fate. he’s just vibing with it all at this point. honestly I wish I could have the same attitude as him about like, anything

elias talks to jon like he’s a parent who won’t do his math homework for him instead of like. an evil dude witholding the secret to stopping the end of the world.

“I’ll send you a return to work form” shut the fuck up!! mr. “I love bureaucracy” you have the most boring personality in the world!!

I don’t know very much about how the whole “everyone is connected to the institute” thing yet and I’m pretty sure it’s just the archival staff probably but can you imagine if everyone that worked there was in the same boat?? can someone in HR quit?? in accounting?? is some poor accountant just stuck in their little cubicle for the rest of their life going “HOW much money does the archives want to spend on fucking fire extinguishers????”

also, random thought, but if elias gets like. removed from his position as the head of the institute, what happens then?? could they launch a company wide campaign of complaints with HR to get elias fired and beat him at his own bureaucratic game

#tma #the magnus archives #racheal is listening to tma #look I don’t know what the general consensus on daisy is but #I just really genuinely dislike her #I don’t know if I’d actually like for her to be murdered but I would like for her to go to jail #if y’all want my thoughts on other specific eps let me know #currently on 96 #it’s kind of slow going right now because we have a shorter semester because of covid and all of my professors have started trying to cram #like ten weeks of classes into the next six #so I have a lot of school stuff going on and don’t have a ton of time to listen

nothing has ever brought me more joy than listening to basira beat the shit out of elias

#tma #the magnus archives #racheal is listening to tma #I’m so proud of her!!!!!!

[rachealsaccount]

the cadence of nikola’s voice when she says “can you elias, can I call you elias?” is. horrifying. -10/10, did not like that.

#tma #the magnus archives #racheal is listening to tma #everyone really just decided that this was the time to kill jon huh

[rachealsaccount]

people in the tags of that post I made about elias keep telling me “oh you hate him but you also want to fuck him right” no. I am very much a lesbian and he is very much the supernatural personification of the worst type of “well, actually” man in the world.

#tma #the magnus archives #racheal is listening to tma #I do in fact have a crush on melanie #and hope she gets to piss on elias’s grave when he dies

[rachealsaccount]

so. I just listened to all of season four in two days and. hm.

#a very soft but emphatic ‘fuck elias’ #tma #the magnus archives #racheal is listening to tma

[rachealsaccount]

okay wow fuck daisy tonner!!! oh my god!!!

#tma #the magnus archives #racheal is listening to tma #(gonna start tagging with that so you can block it if you want) #just finished episode 91 #I’ve hated daisy since like her second appearance #but her straight up attempting to murder jon has officially put her right up there with elias at the top of my tma character shit list #also tma really said acab and I’m here for it

[rachealsaccount]

been thinking about helen’s “YES martin!!!” after martin suggests he and jon start playing on murder hobo mode

#racheal is listening to tma #I like to imagine helen just popping up randomly every few hours to cheer them on #she’s their apocalypse cheerleader

hey, you're back now! I'm glad everything is ok and tumblr was just acting up :). Also also! Tell us your tma thoughts! What do you think of Melanie! Of Martin's plan! Top fave statments? Dish!

thanks! I changed my username slightly and think that’s probably why it acted up.

I love melanie!! she’s been one of my favorites since she first appeared. I’m a few episodes into season four now and I’m very worried about her at the moment, but I believe in her. I think it takes a very specific type of person to get through the kind of stress that everyone down in the archives is under, and I think that it’s probably the type of person that is confused as to why you’re worried about the fact that they got shot by a ghost.

I thought that martin’s plan was genius! elias really underestimated him, and the joy he felt at getting to burn some stuff was relatable. still waiting to see if it backfired with peter lukas.

there are a few different statements that have stuck with me for different reasons. I think my favorite overall has been the first one about the breekon and hope coffin, maybe the third episode? I don’t really know why, I just enjoyed the story and was deeply invested in the mystery of it from the moment I listened to it. that episode is the one that really drew me into tma, and I was really excited when it started coming back up in season three! I also really enjoyed the statement in episode 21, freefall. the concept of the sky eating people was just. very funny to me. and is also where I started picking up on the fact there were different entities or something at work because I started picking up on all the similar stories that came after it. I think the vast was one of the first ones that I guessed existed. I also liked a guest for mr spider, because I’m always interested in character backstory and there were also some of aspects of jon’s childhood that were kind of relatable for me.

#racheal is listening to tma #ngl I have kind of a crush on melanie
