Hoop for Episode 18 - The Man Upstairs, for @daphneedalife who kindly donated to ActBlue. Thank you!!

"I looked around, and saw that every surface, the walls, the floor, the tables, everything except the curtained windows, was covered in meat. Steaks, chunks of chicken, even a whole leg of what I assume was once lamb, had been nailed everywhere. There were layers of it, the newest additions simply stuck on top of the old, and a putrid yellow-white rot could be seen where the oldest pieces had long since turned to liquid."

It was very funny in my head

Description of image under the cut

THE MAN UPSTAIR

On one side is written "The magnus archives listener".

Under there is a black and white photo a man in the sad position, hand around his head, with wrote "Nothing in life matter" in white on the picture.

On the opposite side is written "Webtoon reader"

The picture beside the sentence is colorful with a smiling guy with a thumb up, sunglasses and a hat. On the photo is written "Nothing in life matter" in a bright red.

Random headcanons about somewhat unimportant characters (TMA)

Graham Folger... oh, that guy would never swear. I am sure of this. And I feel like Sebastian Adekoya wouldn't much either... or he would with Jared, perhaps. Also hear me out I made Not!Jared/End!Seb and Boneturner!Graham/Oliver-but-nothing-bad-happened-to-him would anyone read anything about it? Also Not!Jared is a gingerhead, do whatever you want with this information.

Ross Davenport (MAG90) may or may not hate having over people at gym just blasting music on a speaker - like just buy headphones and stop bothering me with whatever you listen to (not sure what he would listen to but I just like giving every character I like liking about the same things as me which isn't too bad given how large my taste can get. I feel like he would listen to Tub Ring.)

Hezekiah Wakely would love weighted blanket+noise canceling headphones combinaison, I would lowkey resurect him just to give him that.

Tyler, the guy from MAG177 in the processing line, I give him a 70% chance of also being terrified by the Eye but not as much as being just processed throught the lines, cut up only for them to use nothing, then restart.

Toby Carlisle, really, that guy just needs help please give him therapy instead of insulting him in your statement Christof you asshole (I feel way too much sympathy for this guy even if he stared ominously at his neighbor while smoking on the balcony and hammered meat everywhere)

Bonus thought: The man who speaks in bells (MAG20-unnamed but mentionned) is pretty hecking cool I love this guy

I ask arbitrary questions in my head about statements. Today’s is about “The Man Upstairs”. Toby Carlisle, what devotion you had to have. Three somewhat whole years of hammering for such thick layers of rotting meat to be on virtually every wall of that apartment, and no one really noticed (till Christof). I wonder what was exactly the time of the mans death, how much nailing it took before his knuckles gave out, his human body decaying. It even went through the floorboards, thats how much meat there was, it leaked into another person’s apartment ceiling. Every goddamn surface was covered for christ sake. How many layers and layers of meat were nailed into those walls, counters, floors, any feasible place that a nail could stick into, how many pieces of meat did it take exactly to cover the whole apartment. So many layers of rotting animal flesh and let’s face it, probably human somewhere in there, how long did it take for him to start decaying, for those lesions to transfer to his own body. For him to be so out of commission he couldn’t even move his hands anymore. Toby Carlisle, your efforts did not go unnoticed.

[insert-neologism]

“average person nails 3 meats o to their wall each year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person nails 0 pieces of meat into their wall per year. toby carlisle, who lives upstairs & nails over 10,000 into his wall each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Commenting on the the magnus archives episodes, part 3 (I think) - spoilers ahead

MAG 16 Arachnophobia: I was fully prepared for that episode to destroy me, I can't stand spiders, but now I feel like it could have been worse, at least it was only one spider at a time, my nightmares are filled with a bunch of spiders... which I guess he got at the end, but that wasn't described in great detail, so I was okay. Apropos the end: I was a bit confused because I read this episode was the most obviously paranormal one, and honestly, thinking the spiders from your youth are haunting you isn't so much paranormal, I thought episode 15 with her beeing found with candles she didn't pack was worse, but then I got to the end, and him beeing found incased in Web... uah. And come on John, you wanna try to reason that they came from one week of lying there?! Ugh

MAG 17, the Bone Turner's Tale: immediately after the first few sentences I was like: oh no, this is a Leitner one, isn't it? And sure enough it was... I don't even know what else to say to this except type out the Leitner Rant, but that is a lot of text, and this post will already be very long. At least John is a bit more inclined to believe the tale when there is Leitner involved.

MAG 18 The Man upstairs: I needed a bit more time for that episode because I have a very active imagination and got nauseous towards the end...

MAG 19 Confession | & MAG 20 Desecrated Host || : love the connection to the hilltop Road episode. Also, did somebody say religious trauma? Because these episodes screamed in answer. The beginning of 19 was... worrying to say the least - "We will get to the cannibalism of course" ehm, hold on, what? On another note, these episodes made me suspect that John's predecessor realy had a sorting system because that was at least the third episode in a row with the flesh entitie! While I honestly was just waiting for the first appearance of the Vast...

MAG 21 Freefall: finally, the Vast, I don't know what exactly sparked my obsession with it, but I like this entitie (as much as you can like a fear personified) since I first saw a art-tiktok about it weeks ago. Nothing much to say to this episode tho, except that John got sceptic again, he had such a good run of taking things seriously before.

Ending the Episode with the quote "By God Martin, what are these things?!" Was a choice...

MAG 22 Colony: Did I ever mention before that I love Martin? Well, I do, and now that he actually speaks for himself once, I feel even more justified in saying that.

Two options here "poor Martin, just wanted to show a picture to his (future) boyfriend" or "King wanted to stick it to his asshole Boss" I'm in the party of both. Both is good.

Also, after this episode the following post I found on Pinterest suddenly makes a lot more sense

I also asked myself how much the entities blurr together, because, while this was mainly corruption, there was also darkness because the lights didn't work in Martins flat, right?

I was so happy when John showed that he cared for Martin, in telling him to life in the institute for now :)

The creepy text messages at the end sparked a conversation between me and @regulus-needs-swimminglessons and I wanted to share one of his comments to that:

These text are so funny because there are basically 2 options

1 (the boring one) Jon and Martin don't text a lot so Jon doesn't actually know what Martin's texting style is like so Jane was able to impersonate him easily

2 (the better option) Jane was looking through the past texts giggling and kicking her feet while reading funny passages out loud for her worm friends so she could copy his texting style but she had to hold back to not end every message with "❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰😍😘😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱😘😘🥰🥰❤️"

MAG 24 Schwarzwald: at first I was convinced that the headline was read by someone else than John, because it sounded weird to me. Then I got reminded that German words, like Schwarzwald, just get pronounced weirdly by englishspeakers, which is totally normal, so back to the story. An old letter to Jonah Magnus, did Elias read these 👀. The comment that there was no account of a Johann von Württemberg confused me, because Johann is/was a fairly common german name, especially in the higher up families. And there was in fact a Johann Friedrich von Württemberg who lived from 1582 to 1628, but that's not the one reported here, I would guess. He ruled as the 7th Duke at that time. Anyway, the Grave gave me slight Lukas-Family vibes, even tho I know that not the case, the involved entitie here is the Eye not the Lonely (even tho it kind of screams the lonely to me too, I mean, it's the Schwarzwald, and he described it as silent on lonely, but oh well)

Martin, scaring John by walking though the archive without pants. 🤣

Sir that is his living room and he can wear whatever he wants 😌 Martin can do whatever he wants, wherever he wants, just because he's awesome, and I love him.

MAG 24 Strange Music: I don't like dolls, I don't like clowns, and that's all I'm gonna say to that... But there is finally an appearance from sasha, which is awesome ^^ And again, something incredible: John is inclined to believe a Statement woob woob

MAG 25 Growing Dark: I mentioned religious trauma before, and I will mention it again, because this is exactly that. A bit frustrating to go back to "mh, we don't believe this because the author isn't even believing himself"

MAG 16 Distortion: Michael! My Dude! Be a dear and miracle me a towel, would you? Oh whops, wrong fandom, wrong quote... anyway, hello Michael, and hello Sasha. Its a bit sad to hear every archival assistant tell in their statement that they feared to come forward because John would judge them... But Sasha is hurt, and the "most level headed" so of course he believes her. Also, she's a little heroine, because she went to that place only to save John (and Martin, and the Archive, but oh well) first time that not beeing able/wanting to quit got mentioned, intrigued for the future.

MAG 27 A sturdy Lock: Everything involving the spiral always confuses me. I feel sorry for the old man, and am very interested what the statement from his Son is gonna be. But what do you meant the door had no knob or keyhole at the end?!

That's all for now, I'm currently listening to MAG 28 Skintight, but that will be in my next post I assume. So good bye, I hope you had fun with my incoherent rambling. (And again: please excuse my grammar, English is not my first language)

Okay byyyyeeee

I messed up the poll length! Surprised it's only happened once so far. Anyway, here's the full week-long poll.

Even my perfect, immutable, and utterly unquestionable seeding formula puts some bad bitches against each other. Would you rather eat your notebooks, or cover your apartment in meat?

Ryan O'Neal (April 20, 1941 – December 8, 2023) Television and film actor. Born in Los Angeles, he trained as an amateur boxer before beginning a career in acting in 1960. In 1964, he landed the role of Rodney Harrington on the ABC nighttime soap opera Peyton Place. It was an instant hit and boosted O'Neal's career. He later found success in films, most notably in the romantic drama Love Story (1970). From 2005 to 2017, he had a recurring role in the Fox television series Bones as Max, the father of the show's protagonist.

In 1960 in Germany, O'Neal was struggling at school, so his mother pulled some favors and got him a job as a stand-in on a show being shot in the area, Tales of the Vikings. O'Neal worked on it as an extra and stuntman and became interested in acting. O'Neal returned to the U.S. and tried to make it as an actor. He made his first television appearance guest starring on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis episode "The Hunger Strike" in 1960. He followed this with guest slots on The Untouchables, General Electric Theater, The DuPont Show with June Allyson, Laramie, Two Faces West, Westinghouse Playhouse (several episodes), Bachelor Father, My Three Sons, Leave It to Beaver episode "Wally Goes Steady" in 1961, and The Virginian. He was under contract to Universal but they let it lapse. From 1962 to 1963, O'Neal was a regular on NBC's Empire, a modern-day western, where he played "Tal Garrett" in support of Richard Egan. It ran for 33 episodes. In 1963, the series was revived as Redigo, but O'Neal turned down the chance to reprise his role. When the series ended, O'Neal went back to guest-starring on shows such as Perry Mason and Wagon Train.

Following a successful movie career in the 1970's and 1980's he returned to TV opposite his then-partner Farrah Fawcett in Small Sacrifices (1989). He and Fawcett made a short-lived CBS series, Good Sports (1991), which lasted 15 episodes. O'Neal co starred with Katharine Hepburn in the TV movie The Man Upstairs (1992). (Wikipedia)

Please I can't be the only one to see Toby Carlisle looking like Antlantis' protag (Milo James Thatch) but with less sanity I literally always portrayed him looking like that even before watching the movie

Alfred Burke strikes a husbandly pose as concerned neighbour Mr. Barnes in The Man Upstairs (1958)

#fave spotting #alfred burke #the man upstairs #1958 #british cinema #public eye #character actors #the film is about Richard Attenborough as a tenant of a boarding house who has a breakdown and the reactions #of the other tenants (and authorities etc) to the situation. alas‚ of all the tenants‚ Alfie is the only one out of the house at the time #and returns (and thus enters the film) only at about the halfway point. this means that whilst the others have all had rather nice little #characterisations set up and been introduced to the viewer‚ Mr Barnes ends up having little personality beyond 'husband of Mrs Barnes' #Mrs B being one of the main supporting roles. needless to say Alfie attacks the role regardless and manages to bring out some subtle shades #of indignation at injustice (and even a hint of socialist conscience) to a fairly underwritten part. also of note‚ Mrs B is played by noted #Australian star Dorothy Alison‚ so Alf finds himself doing a modest little attempt at an aussie accent... I'll be honest i didn't even #notice the first few times he spoke‚ but it come out a little more when he's heated (a nice touch of realism actually)
