My personal favorite is “supplemental: I’ve broken into Gertrude’s flat”

Oh also Martin finding the pictures Jon took of Tim’s house 😭

Unhinged Jon will forever be the funniest Jon, man was really out roaming the tunnels and stalking his coworkers like there was no tomorrow

Listen guys, I know that the venn diagram of tma listeners and traumatised is a circle, so for all us memory loss hotties I have a suggestion. Get a bunch of blankets, snacks and a couple of hours and tell your whole story, as much as you can possibly remember, into your phone as it records.

OBVIOUSLY ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE SAFE, COMFORTABLE AND IN THE RIGHT HEADSPACE. FOR SOME PEOPLE THIS CAN MAKE EVERYTHING SO MUCH WORSE BUT IT CAN HELP FOR OTHERS. I AM NOT A PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFESSIONAL. THIS JUST HELPED FOR ME SO I THOUGHT I COULD SHARE IT. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES.

#I wrote it down first #and then recorded it #cause then I could really get the tma statement vibes #and I did the whole pre-statement #Jonathan Sims #Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute #London #It's a great way of knowing exactly how much you remember #what parts are locked away #putting it all into perspective l #and just generally having a log #that you can add to if and when you remember other things #It's a lot. #I'd definitely say give yourself a few days after for fallout #but I liked it because it was my hyperfixation #it was safe and kinda removed from my actual life. #tma #the magnus archives #tma meta #statement begins #trauma #mental health #jonathan sims

[ID: A drawing of a tape recorder for the Magnus Archives. The drawing depicts a floating tape recorder with a reflection of an inquisitive eye belonging to Martin Blackwood in the tape area. Martin Blackwood is an Afro Brazilian man with dark brown skin, freckles, square glasses and a white eyebrow. Around the recorder are twisting green strings of magnetic tape and spider webs keeping the recorder suspended. The background is a slight green glow and green and black speckle texture throughout. The text around the recorder reads: 'Oh...hello. Are you still listening?' End ID/]

HI HELLO LONG TIME NO TMA but I heard 'Oh...Hello' and this happened. I hope this will help me get back into drawing the lads, it was so good to hear Martin's voice again 😭

TMA: Horror By Sound

A long while ago, I discussed about the interesting values of Audio content. Heck, I even talked about it in a [Video Here] Audio content, despite being considered as old media is emerging from the corners of the internet in the modern era.

With how things are moving at such a fast pace. A quick and secondary type of medium is bound to rise in popularity. Let's discuss;

- Statement Begins -

< The Magnus Archives > is an audio podcast/drama following an archivist at the Magnus Institute, London. The recordings follow Jonathan Sims who recently took over the position of Head Archivist after his predecessor, Gertrude Robinson mysteriously passed away.

What started out as a typical job of filing documents and old cases spiraled into an unusual turn where Jon and his Archival Assistants; Martin, Tim and Sasha are haunted by a grotesque monster as written in the statements.

As of now, the show has a total of 5 seasons and as the seasons progress. The monsters become more aggressive and frightening against the character's lives and their psyche.

- What's Your Greatest Fear? -

The series has the characters deal with entities that feed on the fears of the victims. From the typical fear of the dark to specific fears such as, spiders, filth, heights, closed spaces, and eventually, death itself. Each fear manifested itself onto the victims in various ways that feels personal.

At the end of the statements, Jon or the others will provide their thoughts on the case and report their findings in reality. Often dead end trials where either the victims have long died or went missing.

The series as a whole, has an ecosystem of connections to the manifestations. From the cursed books of Jurgen Leitner to a cast of active creatures hunting for prey to feed upon and tear into madness.

Aside from the main cast, there are also reoccurring characters that joined the show as well. There's former Paranormal Investigator; Melanie, former officers; Daisy and Basira and a few others.

The show takes a slow burn approach, learning the truth as Jon improves. Having the unknown beings creep deeper into his life inch by inch till he is no longer himself.

We get to see him get exhausted, frustrated at his lack and the comical failure of his preparation against the monsters knocking at his door with the conspiracy that he is but a pawn at the bigger game of these Abominations.

The show also shows a number of audio manipulation, adding to the creep factor. Such is when the creature; The Stranger appears by distorting sound and echoes when they speak.

- Statement Ends -

In a disturbing way. The show seems to suggest that we, the listeners are the very monsters that is affecting the characters. Our constant need for more brings the characters descend further and there is nothing we can do about it but listen.

I've talked in the past about how [ASMR is Sound for the Soul] with the ability to simulate soothing tingles and tell a story with one sided conversations. What TMA does is to do the secondary.

Telling a story by second hand accounts. The way how some of the statements feels can get under your skin. The use of words and the annunciation of the statements feels like something is pulling the statements closer to the audience. Simulating a different kind of tingle.

It sometimes feels like we are prying into closed conversations. Listening to the deepest and darkest parts of humanity without the characters noticing.

As of now, I caught up till Season 3 but it seems like Jon will be getting involved more and more to the beings at the threshold.

What I think TMA does really well is not making horror out of typical fears. It relies on those fears and amplifies its ability to make one cripplingly terrified at things we have yet to understand. Reaching out of the tape recorder and into our world in an unpleasant way. Yet, you can't help but click to the next episode.
