My favorite thing in the about the statements is the random person they encounter that says something spooky and gives me goosebumps. Fav examples include:
"Enjoy sky blue." -Simon MAG21
"No, sir, you have nothing to fear from the dead." -Man from the Cemetery MAG23
"Be still, for there is strange music." (Not a person but it counts for me) -The Calliope MAG24
"You cannot stop slaughter by closing the door." Tom Haan- MAG30
"Tomorrow will be a good day for a run." -Hiker MAG31
I'll add as i go further along

Imagine going to an Onsen with Shanks
After scouting a new island with your captain
You: ugh I stink
Shanks: Stomping through the woods will do that to you... How about we stop for a bath, before heading back to home? *Points at a public Onsen.*
You: I dunno
Shanks: it'll be fine, come one *grabs your hand and pulls you into the bath house* Two for the mixed bath please.
You: the mixed bath?
Shanks: yeah, they're usually empty this time of day.
You: is that your only reason?
Shanks: no, I need help washing, seeing as I'm down an arm.
You: *grumbles, but presses your face into his back out of embarrassment* you're unbelievable.
In the shower area
Shanks: *humming softly as you scrub his back with an exfoliating towel until you get to his right shoulder* Careful not so hard
You: I'm barely applying any pressure.
Shanks: my shoulders are often really tense, and have been since loosing my arm.
You: hmm let me try something, *digs your thumb into the sore muscles of his neck and shoulder*
Shanks: *moans* oh fuck
You: that hurt?
Shanks: no, don't fucking stop
You: I should finish scrubbing first, I'll help you unwind in the bath, the hot water should help.
Shanks: *huffs in frustration as you resume exfoliating his body* fine, just don't forget the front.
You: Excuse me?
Shanks: my front also needs to be scrubbed, arms and legs too.
In ten minutes
You: alright I'm finished.
Shanks: your turn, *spins around and pulls you against his chest*
You: *yelps* I can wash myself!
Shanks: I know you can, I just want to return the favor. Wring out the towel for me.
You: boss -
Shanks: *pulls the towel out of your hands and starts to run it over your skin*
You: *whines when he finishes your back, and he tugs you into his lap to start on your front*
Shanks: *kisses your neck as his towel-clad hand gropes at your chest* see this is not so bad, yeah?
You: I suppose not, Captain.
Shanks: good because I'm just getting started *slides the soaked towel down your body to start between your legs*
In the hot spring
You: *more hot and bothered than you care to admit*
Shanks: if I recall correctly you promised me a massage.
You: I suppose I did, but I can't do it from the front.
Shanks: of course you can, let me show you *repositions you, so you're straddling his lap and gives you a dirty grin*
You: *knows he's doing this on purpose and decides to torment him back* alright I'll get started then *starts to rub his neck, while grinding down on his hard cock.*
Shanks: *blushes and moans,* oh fuck, sweetheart I didn't know you were so talented at this.
You: *leans forward, so your mouth was dangerously close to his* I've had quite a bit of practice.
Shanks: *starting to feel drunk and short of breath, so he pulls you away*
You: *smirks* aww what's wrong boss?
Shanks: can't handle this and the steam.
You: then let me move behind you, maybe you'll be able to breathe better.
Shanks: you did that on purpose.
You: Does that sound like me?
Shanks: *chuckles* alright you win, do it your way. It's probably for the best, if I came I'd probably have to pay some sort of cleaning fee.
You: *slides behind him and resumes rubbing his back* a wise decision, the quarter master would be mad at you since he'd have to pay it.
Shanks: and none of them would believe me for a minute if I told them I came because you were humping me.
You: Indeed.
Shanks: come here *twists backwards and pulls you into a kiss* perhaps we can continue this back on the ship?
You Maybe

i'm having so much fun with the new tmagp characters (and i will miss them dearly until april 11th) (side note: patreon members get access on my sisters birthday which is pretty cool) and i don't want to compare them to the tma characters because they are unique and different in MANY ways, i just also notice some parallels
gwen is very similar to jon, she has had a somewhat skeptic attitude but has now clearly been exposed to the horrors (bonzo..) and she's also climbing the corporate ladder if you will. she runs the place, she's grumpy, and i think she's closer to becoming an avatar than any of the others (even sam) (see my other post about it if youd like) (idk how to link it on mobile sorry)
alice and tim are kinda obvious, both comedic with younger brothers and are very susceptible to romantic feelings (sasha/sam). there was a lot more going on with tim and we haven't seen much of that side of alice, so i'm really excited to learn about her backstory and/or traumas. less excited about what that might to do her but yk.. yk..
sam/sasha is the most interesting one to me. sam is curious like sasha was. sasha wanted to know which made her archivist potential in everyone's eyes. sam also wants to know, he'd make a great archivist. except he's not cautious, he's like sasha if she had never worked in the artifact storage. i think sasha's strength was what she had already experienced and what she knew, but she didn't know enough and ultimately that got her killed. sam is going to keep learning until he does know enough, but he doesn't have that prior knowledge to stop him from going too far. very interesting characters from both of them
celia and martin i guess? celia's different since she's not exactly from tmagp
lena and elias because creepy murder boss
and finally colin and gertrude which is kind of insane of me to say but hear me out. gertrude cut out the eyes of book covers and magazines and everything in her home. she was incredibly paranoid she just was also a boss ass bitch about it. i think younger gertrude must've been a lot like colin, but she figured it out quicker and realized what she needed to do to survive. she asked the right questions and took the right precautions. she had the archive full of knowledge. colin doesn't have the archive, he's messing with the wrong thing and he's taking every precaution and hurting himself and those around him (sam's phone specifically comes to mind). i think gertrude was like colin but she had the right resources to get through it
idk all of these are very interesting and it makes me worry a bit, but ofc every character is unique and has aspects to them that change their stories. they're probably still gonna die though, we know jonny sims loves killing characters ☹️

I made a post about this in autumn 2020 but it made some people incalculably mad so I don't feel like fishing it out again and might as well re-state my idea. I think it's really interesting how power distribution in s4 is reflected in the characters' living situations. in mag 125, basira says she and melanie started living in the archives full-time, and while it's not explicit that jon and daisy are doing that too, I do think it's implied given that at various times they talk about spending all their time in the archives. however, martin explicitly does still have a place to live outside of the institute, and of course so does georgie, and they are the people that jon and melanie go to for support when considering quitting. I think that shows that they weren't just in need of moral support but also more tangible types of help, like a place to live once they were freshly injured and out of a job. melanie got that support because georgie thought she was serious about wanting to get out, but both georgie and martin thought that jon's heart wasn't really in it, and he never really got to prove himself either way since he didn't have the safety net of someone being willing to help him in the aftermath of an attempt.
