Today I compiled all the TMA season 3 transcripts into one word document... Even on regular size pages with size 11 point text, it’s almost 500 pages. This bitch is fucking yuge.
The good news is I’m almost done with compiling transcripts. I can probably finish season 4 tomorrow. The longest part is literally just deleting unnecessary skipped lines between paragraphs.

I'm aware I'm not the only person to do this but here's a post that was just meant to be me tracking up the description of Gerry's hair to see what is actually going on on that front but this also turned into a few other things that are quite interesting to think about. And I started
Tumblr media
I will put this under a cut as it's long, also spoilers
So we first meet Gerry in 004
Tumblr media
And he's described as having 'artificially black' hair and he's unshaven, this statement is set in Winter 2012 and is from the period where Mary is haunting Gerry post her death, this also occurs after the events of 012 as the incident in 012 is dated as happening on December 23rd 2011
Tumblr media
Then in 012
Tumblr media
Yet again, dyed hair, this time he's clean shaven which implies either Gerry tends to shave or he probably at least shaved for the sake of blending in for this incident
(This is also when Gerry had all his tattoos)
, this is also in 2011 and it's when Mary is still around but I'm not sure if she like actually somehow appeared at the hospital since it's never really said like how far Mary could like project herself as a ghost but either way somehow they signed him off to her.
Tumblr media
Also to note from 012
Tumblr media
Gerry has an expired passport with him, he's traveled a lot this lines up with what Gerry himself says in 111 that he and Mary traveled a lot (Also I personally feel he likely had a feeling he wasn't coming back from this and had that on him for... reasons)
Tumblr media
Then in 035 we encounter teenage Gerry in 2002
Tumblr media
He's described as thin, his hair is apparently obviously dyed, it's also described as 'greasy'
Also to note, this is where the statement giver implies Gerry is somehow stronger than he looks
Tumblr media
Gerry then shows up in 048
Tumblr media
He's described as scrawny here, and also described as having 'long black hair' this episode is set in September 2009 which would likely be about a year after Mary's death which is said to have happened in 2008 and in 111 Gerry does say the following
Tumblr media
Also in 004 it's stated that Gerry seemingly disappeared after being acquitted
Tumblr media
Also apparently someone moved into Pinhole Books in 2014
Tumblr media
Also to note 062 where Mary talks to Gertrude and gives her Eric's page is set on the 3rd July 2008 meaning that Mary's death was somewhere after this point (I am going to assume likely not that long after this)
Mary speaks to Eric in 154 which is dated to the 21st July 2008 and also this is where Eric does ask her to track down Gerry and Gertrude has been aware of Gerry's existence for a good while by this point.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Also it's implied that Eric and Gertrude know what Mary was going to do
Tumblr media
Another side note 080 is where we have Jurgen's encounter with Gerry which probably would've happened in 2014
Tumblr media
And Gerry thinks this was in fact not Leitner
Tumblr media
So now we come to 102
Tumblr media
This statement was taken in June 2014 and is the source of the 'poorly dyed' description of Gerry's hair, this is the only time where the condition of his hair is really remarked upon other than in 035 where it's described as greasy (Which I personally feel was just as a result of Gerry being a teenager at a time as having greasy hair as a teenager happens to most people) so that was likely a one off moment.
Other references to Gerry's hair being dyed imply it's obviously dyed and an artificial looking black so I have another feeling that his hair looking the way it apparently does here is probably a one off since Gerry has been.... going through it to put it mildly.
Tumblr media
And its stated that Gerry passes away a few months after this and in 111 Gerry states and since he says Mary haunted him for five years Gertrude seemingly was the one to seek Gerry out This was likely some point in 2013 (Going off what was calculated by people writing the tma wiki)
Tumblr media
Allegedly The Catalogue was burned, or at least Mary's pages were Gertrude however seems to have The Catalogue in 2015 when she is arrested for tresspassing
Tumblr media
Gerry was also unaware he was ill until it was too late
Tumblr media
In 012 we find out Gerry's death was sometime in late 2015
Tumblr media
And Jon finds the following out in 107
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
From what we have in 107 it's likely Gerry and Gertrude were heading to The Usher Foundation from Chicago but only got as far as Pittsburgh, this is where Gerry passes, Gertrude narrowly avoids arrest for being caught when binding Gerry to the Catalogue of the Trapped Dead and Gertrude travels back to England.
And then The Catalogue falls into Julia and Trevor's hands about a year late 109
Tumblr media
(And yes can confirm the Greyhound route referenced by Jon does exist)
So that's the post
Things to Summarise
Gerry is apparently stronger than he looks, he is also canonically pale and thin/scrawny
He's described as having stubble in 004 but not 012 I have a feeling he tends to stay clean shaven but in 004 it's implied he looks like hes not slept for a few days (Likely due to Mary) 004 happened post 012
Gerry has an expired passport with him in 012 likely for identification reasons (I personally feel he had a feeling he might not be coming back)
Gerry was released into Mary's care after the events of 012 but it's not clear if Mary was physically there or not
His hair is obviously dyed, and always described as long. His hair is described as Greasy in 035 when he's a teenager, and Poorly Dyed in 102, 102 is set not long before Gerry died so I have a feeling that's probably part of the reason his hair is like that he's been going through it (tm)
Gertrude very likely knew about Gerry's existence pre 2008, she was asked to find him in July 2008 by Eric, She also spoke to Eric a few weeks after Mary approached her in July 2008 but didn't intervene until 2013
Mary's death was likely some point in Summer 2008, probably in July
Someone moved into Pinhole Books in 2014
Gerry also beat up Jurgen Leitner in 2014
Mary's pages were burned in 2013 but it seems The Catalogue was still usable since Gerry was put into it
Gertrude and Gerry most likely heading to The Usher Foundation before his death They'd been in Chicago and were traveling via Pittsburgh, which is as far as they got before Gerry died, Gertrude never did show up at The Usher Foundation.
Gerry died some point in late 2015, the Catalogue of the Trapped Dead was left behind and eventually vanished from the evidence locker and somehow ended up with Julia and Trevor just under a year later

I've been following them for some time and I really look up to their cute art style and sweet comic. Their Book Omens boys are forever in my brain and in my heart. But who can blame me, look at them! 🥰
(Adding Good Omens unrelated post under this because I can: cute Moomin animation and incredible Mp100/TMA comic under the cut!)

What are your favorite TMA headcanons? :)
OOF OK so this might be all over the place because I don't think about headcanons too much but here we go!
Jon likes The Muppet's Christmas Carol because it's the most book-accurate
Martin runs office christmas cookie decorating like its the military (i'm projecting here)
Jon and Georgie adopted The Admiral together when they were dating
Jon is great at giving presents because he just Knows what people want
Basira also gives great presents. I think shes good at remembering small things that people mention, informing her gift choices.
Sasha enjoys watching older films, think 20's - 60's (especially silent films)
Melanie tried vlogging before ghost hunting, it didn't work out

thanks for the updates from Maddie and Twitter! I can’t believe whats going on. The relaunch of Magnus in combination with stopping so many cool ongoing shows is so weird
You are very welcome! I actually revived my Twitter account to be able to check regularly for new posts, either from Maddy or others. There doesn’t seem to have been anything new in a few hours now, even if I personally missed it, I’d have heard about it via one of the multiple discords I’m on.
Yes, RQ has made incredibly strange decisions this past year (or even beyond that) which leave me as a fan - and highest tier Noble - incredibly frustrated.
When they shut the discord down, they said they’d reevaluate six months later. RQO recently “celebrated” its first death day. Personally, I don’t want RQO back. But I would have liked to have that promised reevaluation.
The reason the discord had to be shut down can apparently also be traced back to shit communication between RQ and the team of volunteer and unpaid mods.
When Chapter&Multiverse, Trice Forgotten, and Cry Havoc (Ask Questions Later) were announced in late 2021, they were projected to air within the first half of 2022. Instead, only C&M aired “on time”, Trice has a change in director and was delayed until summer, and Cry Havoc has now been pushed back until 2023. It’s great that they don’t want to burn out their cast and crew, but they’ve also been releasing Enthusigasm episodes twice a week and C&M main campaign and specials in parallel earlier this year. Clearly, someone didn’t think their schedule through properly.
Instead of making sure their new shows are taking off, they instead drag TMA’s corpse out of its grave. I love Magnus as much as the next person, it was an incredible show. Writing, acting, soundscaping… but the way RQ keeps pushing it into the limelight and down our throats to the detriment of their other shows (formerly only RQG and STL, but now even more shockingly also new shows like C&M and Trice), has fostered a real resentment towards TMA in me and others.
When the transcripts were put out, after literal years of delay, they were - and still are - full of errors, inconsistent, or incomplete. There have been no responses to feedback given via the appropriate feedback form, there have been no responses to emails, and there have been little to no corrections made to the transcripts, whether for old shows or new ones. Transcripts are Accessibility tools and should fulfil certain standards. Apart from that, the quality of these transcripts offends me on a professional level. RQ has referred to an agency multiple times in their updates. That agency clearly didn’t work to professional standards and RQ didn’t have any quality assurance process internally either. What an utter waste of (my and other patreons’) money.
Some of the TMA transcripts were apparently taken down this week for maintenance, which was ridiculous timing that made people think it was related to the ARG. Again: shit communication.
They’ve lost so many great people in the last two years: Auto and all the mods, Bryn, Mike, now Maddy. I didn’t listen to RQ podcasts, because they were RQ podcasts. I listened to them, because I enjoyed the content and creators. If the creators leave RQ, I’ll follow them to their next endeavours. Go check out @re-dracula for Karim, Jonny, Beth, Alasdair, Sasha, and Ben; @thekilda for Alasdair, Ben and Sasha; @faustiannonsense for Alasdair, Ben, Tim, and Jonny. I hear Mike is in Tiny Terrors. Sasha and Jonny create TTRPGs. Jonny just published his second book. Also check out everyone’s streams (I particularly enjoy Bryn and Auto struggling to solve puzzles together) and individual patreons and kofis.
Sorry this reply turned into a rant. I’m just fed up at the moment. I’ll go to bed and probably feel better in the morning.

The ambiguous Rusty Quill tweets are like torture designed specially for me, who physically cannot wait to know things. That said, my theories are:
1) book/s of all the statements (possibly some other cool merch item)
or
2) some kind of one off Halloween bonus episode, possibly a crossover with hfth considering they quote tweeted the rq tweet with eyes, or just something bonus content related
It’s possible the eyes are unrelated to tma specifically but like. Rusty quill know exactly what they’re doing by tweeting them I highly doubt they’d do it without any self awareness if it wasn’t tma related. Also any large project like a whole new tma related podcast seems highly highly unlikely to me BUT ppl from rq were heavily hyping this up so who knows

TMA Book Project Update 4/5/22: Had a very busy day today and didn’t have much spare time, but I still started compiling season 4’s transcripts! Might get a chance to do more after work tonight. I have also been considering some formatting/design options, but I don’t want to focus on those too heavily right now. After compiling transcripts, proofreading will be the next step, then formatting.
Btw it would be good to filter the ‘tma book project’ tag bc I’m going to try to post updates regularly. Mostly to keep myself motivated!

I love your TMA cover illustrations!!! If it's okay to ask, what do you do to get them to look old/weathered like that? I have a similar design project I've been working on that I want to do an old, worn paperback-style cover for, and I've been struggling with it, but this is exactly the vibe I'm going for.
thank youuuu 💚
of course it's okay to ask!
I get this result mostly by using photoshoot effects and overlay textures.
The photoshoot effects I use on the images or other elements that need to have a specific style. For example, 80s images are very grainy, so I use the reticulation filter + stamp filter.
The overlay textures I put on top of everything to make it look not only old but also as a part of the same piece.
Firstly, I will look for the texture of the format I'm using, like searching for VHS covers or book covers. Then I add it to the file with one of the blending options. Sometimes this is enough, but I like to add more texture—paper texture, noise texture, concrete texture, etc.
(texturelabs.org is a great site to find textures!)
I'll be testing until it feels right, you know?
If you have more questions, really, feel free to ask!

Hey there! I've been trying to think of a way to convince my coworkers via text (most of us are remote) to give the podcast a listen when it starts next week, but I am absolutely awful at convincing others to try new things. What's your best pitch for those unfamiliar with the book and audio drama? Thank you!!
Allow me to put on my best cloak and perhaps some fangs.... Ahem. Hello [name of coworker, friend, human on the street, etc] I am sure you are familiar with the concept of podcasts, and separately the concept of book clubs, but have you ever thought of combining the two? What if the book was acted, scored, and sound designed like a movie for your ears? What if that book was an old-timey literature classic so you can convince your BFF that you're well read, but secretly the book was full of humor, adventure, and romance? A specific scenario indeed BUT this new show called Re: Dracula is exactly that! They're posting small bits of Dracula in time with the novel, and it's free to listen. A bunch of the episodes will be pretty short so it's low time commitment, and a bunch of other people will be listening (and/or reading) along with the story which means there will be great discussion and even better memes. Some of my favorite voice actors from [insert podcasts such as TMA, Wooden Overcoats, The Amelia Project, etc] are in it! The story of Dracula is about a bunch of friends teaming up to take down a vampire. One of them is a lawyer with a badass wife. One of them is a mad scientist. One of them is a cowboy [insert spiel about "yeah there's a cowboy in Dracula I bet you didn't know that"]. There's so many juicy details in the story and YOU, [name of coworker, friend, human on the street, etc], should listen to it with me. It'll be fun. [Distract them with the trailer while you steal their phone, download a podcast app, and subscribe to Re: Dracula on it.] [I am kidding do not actually steal phones. It'll probably be really hard with remote coworkers anyway.] This page on the Re: Dracula website explains more about the show. If you want to listen on your computer and not deal with podcast apps you can do that here! It's gonna be a really good show!
And end scene. Make of this pitch what you will.
