ok. years have passed and we've had some distance, so i'm finally gonna take the leap of faith that tma fandom is finally ready to hear me on this. let's talk about tannins.

161 was the first tma episode i heard on early release, and i felt the bit where martin declines wine and cites tannins was pretty obvious in its implications. cool, got it, say no more.

imagine my surprise when i was one of maybe three people i saw read between the lines there, in a fandom famous for red stringing--a fandom that immediately caught the much less obvious thread of ignition sources in the same episode. i'll spell it out: alcohol is an issue for martin.

maybe it just felt obvious because addiction is a pet issue for me--as it is for jonny, who has said everything he writes is filtered through a lens of addiction. i don't know if that's due to his own experience or a loved one's, and i won't speculate; i also don't know if martin personally struggled with drinking or just avoids it for fear he would, but alcohol would fit what we know of his family. his dad walking out and his mum spiralling into bitter wallowing and verbal abuse? i'd bet one or both of them drank, yeah.

on a basic level martin tries to decline alcohol, and that alone should have raised eyebrows given what we know of martin and, again, a fandom that dissects everything. we already knew martin "K" blackwood lied about his personal life and his family in particular, especially pre-canon, which is when this flashback took place. i was shocked that everyone took his flimsy excuse at face value with no further questions.

and the excuse is flimsy. martin turns down wine by--nervously--exclaiming tannins are "a proven headache trigger!" which sounds like trivia from a magazine cover and not the words of someone who actually has headaches--and it hasn't come up before or since. jon, confused, points out that tea, a drink martin consumes to a degree that is memetic both in- and out-of-universe, also contains tannins, and martin squawks a panicked, "what?!"

if tannins are enough of a concern for martin that he knew they're in wine and so avoids it, why didn't he know they're in his drink of choice? why does he still drink tea at the time of canon, and why doesn't he struggle with constant headaches from consuming 'a proven headache trigger' day in and day out? why, indeed, would someone avoid wine and not tea?

when sasha insists martin drink he caves and agrees to 'just a drop'. i imagine him pouring it in a plant, which admittedly he could have done if tannins really were the issue. i will say that i, for one, would be less likely to falsely agree to something that makes me physically ill than to a private issue that i'd rather not be pressed on any further. this scene also establishes martin's birthday was an ice cream party instead of the more traditional visit to a pub.

also, this scene was in the first episode of the final season, as one of three flashbacks that could have been to any pre-canon event in the archives. prime narrative real estate. not really time one would waste on establishing the important character context that martin has... headaches. which never comes up before or after, even regarding the week he spent in spiral town. but you know what is pretty crucial character background...?

it felt like a no-brainer, and yet all i saw was h/c fluff about jon attending to martin's headaches. and i hate feeling bitter about disability representation. i want folks with chronic headaches to feel seen and have fluffy escapist fantasies. i don't want to be mad about people portraying a character with a disability. but, guys? you got the wrong disability. jonny sent a clear message, and it went over fandom's head.

I was telling my little sister about Gertrude Robinson the other day and she said something that kind of made my brain explode. I was explaining all of the terrible things that Gertrude did in the name of saving the world and how, on the opposite side, Jon avoided doing a lot of terrible things but ended up dooming the world anyways. She responded with the classic, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

And idk it just really struck me. Bc, between Jon and Gertrude, which of them had better intentions? Which one of them ended up in hell?? Crazy crazy crazy to me bc I’m pretty sure it could apply equally to both of them.

#tma #the magnus archives #jonathan sims #gertrude robinson #tma spoilers #sorry if this doesn’t make any sense #but I genuinely had to just like #pause #when she said that bc I was like…..damn #bc Gertrude was the one doing all the terrible stuff with the good goal of the world not ending #so you COULD say that she’s the one that ended up in hell #but Jon literally damned the world to eternal torment sooooo #idk #I suppose the argument could be made that it applies to both of them equally #the motto of the archivist so to speak #but who knows

archivist voice: why is it spicy

[Start ID: Meme of Jonathan Sims from the Magnus Archives. Jon is a black shadow figure with glowing green eyes and wild hair hunched over a bed. In black text it says "why did i eat that" above his head. In a window behind him, there is a large glowing green eye staring at him against a pitch black sky. End ID.]

mag186, aka 'we made a character so averse to being honest and sharing openly that the only way he'll verbalise what he's really thinking is if it's literally to himself and only after being strong-armed into it for 10 minutes'

#martin blackwood #mag186 #was reading some posts from s5 #i havent listened to it in a while so this is phrased a bit punched-up for humor #but the point stands. which is that i honestly believe also!martin was made to solve this problem #esp in an audio only show martin NEEDS to SAY what hes thinking/feeling #tma #the magnus archives #tma meta #tma s5 #martin #joos yaps

the archives is full of gay ppl; therefor halloween is celebrated

#i love to put characters in outfits and halloween is my number one excuse #shout out to one of the best holidays on earth!!! i love you halloween i cant wait to dress up and eat candy in a few weeks #i dont think sasha made it to halloween but a guy can dream..... #my art #digital art #artists on tumblr #the magnus archives #tma #jonathan sims #martin blackwood #jonmartin #timothy stoker #sasha james #im not tagging as ship bc i dont personally believe in it but you can if you'd like <3 #i like to imagine jon shows up to work in all black with a cat ear headband just like ''maybe this will keep tim off my back'' #meanwhile the archives is exploding bc their boss with a permanent stick up his ass is wearing cat ears and not acknowledging it #tim goads jon into getting a better costume bc the cat ears are half assed and not in the spirit of halloween #and so for the institute's halloween office party jon shows up in complete medieval gothic clothing with plastic vampire fangs #and they have to take martin home on a stretcher bc he dies on sight. sad!
