#sebastian skinner

[mag200]

good day to think about sebastian skinner. guy gets called for a plumbing job out in the middle of the forest where no people live. pays double, nice. theres a factory full of mannequins there. he checks out a drain thats clogged with “dark red water” (definitely not blood and hair and fat and bits of people) while a clown tells him how much she wants to pull the skin off his body, and as hes listening to this he’s just like, huh, not my business. and he just gives her the invoice and drives away. they call him back the next day to fix another drain and hes like yeah sure i’ll come right over. he gets there and the clown leads him into the mannequin factory where they’re all cutting up human heads (which are still alive and in pain, btw) and they all turn to attack him. he runs away, aided by jude fucking perry of all people, who burns the shit out of his shoulder but lets him drive away before she burns down the entire forest and all the mannequins. and this guys just like, well, thats saturdays for you innit? legend icon behavior.

I see a lot of people talking about Karolina Górka and Joshua Gillespie, and as much I love them as well I wanna see what other one-timers are popular:)

Mag 87

It's so great that Jon just assumes Georgie's worried about the tape recorder and she has to be like, 'No, idiot, I'm worried about you!' with a side note of 'I use actual recording equipment at my job.'

Georgie is trying so hard to reach out and be there for Jon and he's just like ...alright, I can take a hint. :( I'll move out. :(

Hurray!! It's Sebastian Skinner!! I often joke about statement-givers (and Archivists) being oblivious, so naturally I'm a fan of the most oblivious man in the podcast.

Okay, time to start a List of Things Sebastian Failed to Notice:

Megan is a literal mannequin with a painted on face and a suit of stolen skin.

Also, I've gone back and forth in the past on whether Megan is Nikola or not. There's definitely evidence both ways, but I think I've settled on her being a random Stranger avatar and not Nikola.

Love Megan posing dramatically in the entrance, expecting terror and screaming, and then being thrown by Sebastian's absolute inability to notice anything ever. She simply has no idea what to do with this man.

The room she took him into smelled like blood because there was a pile of bodies in the corner.

There was a pile of bodies in the corner.

Also it was full of still-living decapitated heads being skinned.

A massive pool of blood around the drain he is actively working on.

Poor Megan, so uneqipped to deal with Sebastian's single minded focus on plumbing that she has to resort to just straight up telling him that's she's going to cut his skin off. And he still doesn't react!

I wonder how Megan thought this was going to go. Like, obviously she wanted to terrify the plumber and take his skin, but she's been actively trying to show him horrors from the moment he arrived. What about the blocked plumbing? It's broken and needs to be fixed, that's why she called the plumber in the first place. Unless she was just going through the phonebook and calling anyone with a thematically appropriate surname? But that doesn't make sense because the pipes were actually blocked. If she needed him to do the job, shouldn't she have been trying to hide the horrors from him until after the blockage was removed, and then take him to the flensing room?

I know it doesn't matter because Sebastian the champion simply did not see, but I'm still confused about how this was supposed to play out.

I think that Jude's presence here indicates that the Stranger and the Desolation are allied with each other in a similar way to how the Eye and the Lonely are allied. Megan called Jude in to help her clean up her flensing warehouse by burning everything down and Jude agreed because it's mutually beneficial to both their Entities.

First up, the clown costume. It's totally valid to read Megan as being Nikola, but I still think she's a seperate thing. The colours of the costume are the same as how Nikola has previously been described, but without the pom-poms that I think are essential to the look (although it's very possible that Sebastian simply did not notice them). This is a meta point, but I also think the podcast has moved on from casting Nikola as a generic clown and promoted her to the role of ringmaster. In universe, she should be wearing a ringmaster's outfit by this point.

My read on how Sebastian is involved is that Megan realised that his utter lack of ability to be aware/afraid of things being just slightly wrong makes him utterly unsuitable to feeding the Stranger, so she's offering him to the Desolation in payment for Jude's help. That's the meaning behind Megan and Jude's exchange when he arrives and the reason why Jude starts laughing.

I saw YouTube videos of The Magnus Archives, but it's clips of Brian David Gilbert. I had to add my favourite oblivious Welsh plumber to the meme collection.

are you “fully not aware of standing in a gore-filled nightmare factory talking to a mannequin” or “human embodiment of Being Aware Of Things”

Round Two Part Four - Match 27

I simply think it's very funny that Sebastian Skinner was fully oblivious to the fact that Nikola was trying to skin(ner) him. The Sick Village had 143 votes in Round One.

MAG 87: The Uncanny Valley

(If you thought i was going to listen to mag 86 you're INSANE hell no)

Jon can be sooo irritating sometimes like just reach out for help

GERTRUDE ROBINSON? lets go

So sounds like this guy just has low perception

love that blood all over the place didn't really register as worrying

flincing?? what is flincing?

.... oh

so this guy is draining out a bunch of blood then just did the job and packed up and went? mmm i mean valid tbh

Wondering if Megan was trying to tell him the entire thing and explaining all of it and Sebastian is just going "uh huh, mm hmmm."

And now Megan is ?? possessed?? or was always like that

so these creatures are killing like a lot of bodies and Megan is like well you did a great job so we wanted you to meet the boss

I wondered if the mannequin has anything to do with MAG

So there's three??? entities at play here, The Lightless Flame, The Devestation and the Stranger (I Do Not Know You?) or just two...

Also yes it does seem like the

Damn, Gertrude was really making these as she was dying

That's going to be Jon if he doesn't learn to relent

THE CIRCUS???? WHAT?

I love episode 87 (The Uncanny Valley) of Magnus Archives so much. Bless this oblivious Welsh plumber who just wants to do his job and maybe gain some repeat business!

The hilarity of horrific monstrosity, Nikola Orsinov, just being so flabbergasted by Sebastian patiently asking to see the drain she needs him to fix, while being blissfully unaware of the grotesque body horror around him is just A+!

"Today's statement giver is just like Joshua Gillespie"

NO! Joshua may have been stupid for accepting that offer but he wasn't oblivious, he was aware something wasn't right.

This guy is like Sebastian Skinner from Mag 87. Completely oblivious to the danger and even EMPATHETIC at times until it was already way too late for him. That was my first thought when listening.
