Dude

Dude

DUDE

Crazy thought. Now, I know this may come off as rambly, however, stick with me. We know for a fact that jon, at the least, was feeling the pull of the eye. He felt like he was being watched, he was getting pulled into the statements, the eye was feeding off what he was doing and jon was scared of it all. He didnt like any of it so he rejected it all entirely.

Yknow what else he didnt like and rejected in s1? Or should I say WHO he didnt like and rejected in s1?

Martin K. Blackwood.

We know from Annabelle that Martin was playing up the "stupidity" bit to remain underestimated or at the least he was acting the way he was intentionally bc of web reasons.

Do you understand what I'm getting at yet? No?

Well I'll tell you regardless.

I believe that because of the eye, Jon was able to tell that Martin was bullshitting. Now, was the dog incident and Martin generally being incompetent at his jon a factor? Absolutely. But I dont think that was so much of a cause as it was an EXCUSE.

I believe that the eye made Jon wary of martin. The only thing is he couldn't understand that he SHOULD be, so he generally disregarded Martin's existence in another attempt at denial.

Reasons I like tma characters(as of season 1)

Why do i like Elias? -im not sure that I do actually, but hes cool i guess

Why do I like Sasha? -She's cool -Good at her job -Cool -Just brilliant

Why do I like Not-Sasha? -She's neat. (Though I am observing her with wary intrigue)

Why do I like Tim? -Ghost-written by David Tennant -british to an extent that it's funny -created Joe Spooky

Why do i like Martin? -He writes poetry, which is cool -Traumatised -He yelled at Mr sims for being a big skeptic

Why do I like Jon? -he talks like an old victorian mad scientist which is fucking hilaious -biggest tea addict in the Institute -sleep deprived(just like me for real) -not a great person actually -skeptic to a fault -really Bad At Emotions -Pathetic wet man -So traumatised and damaged

Jon is probably my favourite(again i know nothing beyond s1)

I find it very hard to consume media of large quantities so it was already such an achievement that I had binged tma last year and I never really thought I'd re listen to it in full but now that I'm taking my time with it I'm seeing a lot of things through a different perspective

Like with Gerard Keay listening to s1 the first time around I saw him as this dangerous complicit guy

And now I'm like, no!

That's Gerry.

[your-mom-friend]

My personal HC is that if Tim hadn’t exploded in the Unknowing he would’ve become the next Head Of The Magnus Institute

this is completely based off of the many headcanons and jokes floating around that everytime Jonah needs a new body he just snatched the eyes of the hottest twink he can find and takes their body and honestly Tim fits it pretty well.

Also can you imagine Tim actually did go after Elias and Elias is like hmm. I think I’m due for a new flesh suit anyway. And just fucking. Takes Tim’s body. Can you imagine how horrifying that would be. Sasha got taken by the Stranger and Tim gets murdered and becomes Jonah’s latest flesh puppet. Like can you imagine Jon returning only to find Elias’s body on the floor with his eyes gouged out and Tim standing there, talking with his own voice but completely different. Jon realising that to get rid of Jonah he’d have to kill one of his best friends. That would be so fucked up I want it.

also in the same line of “HCs formed of popular jokes” I propose that the reason Elias didn’t want Jon looking into the Lukas Family was not because they were donors or whatever but because he was aware of Sasha’s Stalker Prowess and Martin’s Tendency For Breaking and Entering and Tim’s Inclination towards Flirting His Way Into Information and Jon’s Utter Disregard for Law and decided that these four could not under any circumstances be allowed to find out about the long line of marriages and divorces between him and Peter (especially considering that they’re currently married and this will DEFINITELY trigger another one of his moody “I’m going away to sea for 4 years and 3 months” periods)

The Magnus Archives

Season One Notes and Speculation

Main Cast

Spoilers for Season One Below the Break!!!

Martin Blackwood- Helper for Jonathan whom he doesn’t like. Speaks Polish and Jonathan has disdain for his Latin. Claustrophobic. “Blessed relief if you ask me.” Jon about Martin being out with a stomach sickness. Martin comes back in MAG 21, Freefall with squishy squelchy stuff that Jon reacts to with “God- Martin!! What the hell is- what are these things?!” Ran into Jane Prentiss in MAG 22, Colony in which he stays holed up in his house for 13 days as Jane and her parasites kept trying to get in. He is invited to stay in the room Jon sleeps in during late nights post his incident. He feels stuck in the web of the archive. Jon thought he was a ghost in Infestation (MAG 39). He writes poetry and thinks tapes have a sort of lofi charm. It’s why he has the extra recorder. He feels incredibly guilty over leaving Tim and Jonathan in the tunnels, starting to tear up over it after apologizing in Human Remains (MAG 40).

Elias Buchard- The head of the Magnus Institute, doesn’t want Jonathan and crew looking into the Lukas family because they fund the institute. He hates Jonathan more than Martin and thought the parasites were an over reaction in Infestation (MAG 39).

Sasha James - Helper for Jonathan whom he doesn’t mind. Sets off the fire alarm to try and survive the worms. She joined as a practical researcher. Wishes she could’ve quit ages ago. She finds the table with the crazy geometric patterns and then the tape recorder glitches. Infestation (MAG 29). A feminine voice says into it afterwards “I see you.” The scream heard on tape is Jane Prentiss dying as seen in Human Remains (MAG 40).

Elias Buchard- The head of the Magnus Institute, doesn’t want Jonathan and crew looking into the Lukas family because they fund the institute. He hates Jonathan more than Martin and thought the parasites were an over reaction in Infestation (MAG 39).

Sasha James - Helper for Jonathan whom he doesn’t mind. Sets off the fire alarm to try and survive the worms. She joined as a practical researcher. Wishes she could’ve quit ages ago. She finds the table with the crazy geometric patterns and then the tape recorder glitches. Infestation (MAG 29). A feminine voice says into it afterwards “I see you.” The scream heard on tape is Jane Prentiss dying as seen in Human Remains (MAG 40).

Jonathan Sims- Head of the Magnus Archives, rather detached. This being said in Colony (MAG 22) he is shown to have started turning over a new leaf as he offers Martin his room in the archives. In Skintight (MAG 28) he shows an improvement in people skills as he treats the statement giver with a bit more respect than Naomi. He is adamant about not becoming another mystery, to make sure his successor knows exactly what happened. Infestation (MAG 39). Feels like he’s being watched when he records real statements. He also used to smoke according to Elias.

Tim Stoker - Helper for Jonathan whom he slowly seems to grow a distaste for, remaking he’s thankful for him being out of the office. He’s into Robert Smirke’s architecture as of A Distortion (MAG 26). Found tunnels in the archives and went crazy with gas to kill the worms in Infestation (MAG 39).

Other Characters

Sebastian Adekoya- Friend of Jared Hopsworth who delivers MAG 17, Bone Turner’s Tale. Died 2006, crushed on the road.

Angela- Witch from MAG 14 Piecemeal who slowly devoured the parts of Lee Rentoul and Paul Noriega through cardboard boxes with severed articles of various body parts

Asag- Fire mythos thing from First Aid

Sarah Baldwin- Victim of the Angler Fish (MAG 1) who later reappears in Skintight (MAG 28) being super quiet and also talking with a shadowy figure. She seems to remove her skin and then pull it tight and staple it quite regularly.

Breekon and Hope- The delivery boys from the end of one of the mags that give Jon a spider web lighter. Anatomy Class (MAG 34).

Antonio Blake- The Dreamer from MAG 11 Dreamer who saw a strange version of London and Gertrude dying in TMA FAKE NAME, KEEP EYES OUT

Edwin Burrowes- Catholic priest from Burnt Out. In Confession (MAG 19) he says a prayer in the house and feels heat. Then he starts to pray for himself and a demonic presence says through him “I am not for you. I am marked.” He proceeds to eat a human at the ushering of some unknown figure in Desecrated Host (MAG 20)

Michael Crew- Returned The Bone Turner’s Tale to Chiswick Library in MAG 17, The Bone Turner’s Tale

Harriet Fairchild- Went skydiving with Simon in MAG 21, Freefall. Said Robert was gone for 15 mins.

Simon Fairchild- First shows up in MAG 21, Freefall and tells Robert to “Enjoy sky blue” before sending him to a weird groundless realm. Robert Kelly is then later ate by the sky.

Raymond Fielding- Housed many people on Hilltop Road and was missing his right hand when he died

Trevor Herbert- Killed vampires for a living and died of lung cancer in the lobby in Vampire Killer (MAG 10). Dead as restated in Taken ill (MAG 36)

Timothy Hodge - Man who slept with Harriet Lee and heard her explode. DEAD AS OF A Distortion (MAG 26) for got turned into hive meat.

Jared Hopsworth- Friend of Sebastian Adekoya who assaults him consistently, first mentioned in MAG 17 The Bone Turner’s Tale. He, for instance, turns over an entire cart of returned books. He takes the book and runs out. He comes back later in the episode with more bones. And apparently more limbs

Mary Keay- Gerry Keay’s mother

Gerard (Gerry) Keay- Burns the Lightner books (seen in Page Turner) and was found covered in eyes and burn marks in MAG 12 First Aid. He puts a stop to the invisible flame.

Moira Kelly- Sees her son Robert Kelly get ate by the sky in MAG 21, Freefall

Robert Kelly- Simon Fairchild tells him to enjoy sky blue and then he gets ate by the sky in MAG 21, Freefall

Melanie King- Ghost hunter who sees Sarah Baldwin do her skin tricks in Skintight (MAG 28).

Jergner Leitner- Book maker and has a library, seen in Page Turner. Reseen in MAG 17 The Bone Turner’s Tale. Actually seen as a man in Old Passages (MAG 35) in which he asks people to dig underground.

Evan Lukas- Fell in love with Naomi Herne and then died.

Nathaniel Lukas- Owns the boating company for the Tundra as of Boatswain’s Call (MAG 33).

Peter Lukas- Captain of the Tundra as seen in Boatswain’s Call (MAG 33).

Agnes Montague- Witch lady with the hand tied around her with a chain, died the same day as the tree getting pulled down and apple melted

Julia Montork- Daughter of Robert Montork and witness of MAG 9- A Father’s Love

Jane Prentiss- Red dress lady from Squirm. She seems to be a hive for parasites and is no longer the actual Jane Prentiss as of Colony (MAG 22). She uses Martin’s phone in that episode to pose as him while trying to Squirm him. She says at the end through his phone, “Keep him. We have had our fun. He will want to see it when the archivists crimson fate arrives.” A statement by her exists somewhere in the archives. Hive (MAG 32) has her explaining how she felt itchy all the time and all the holes throughout her. “You can see it, and log it, and still never understand it.” Presumably she becomes what she is today after sticking her arm into the nest and screaming out in pain. She dies due to Elias making the CO2 go off in Human Remains (MAG 40).

Joseph Rainer - The man who survived the shell blast with Wilfrid in The Piper (MAG 7).

Maxwell Rainer- First appearance is MAG 9 in which he is described as the “defrocked pentecostal leader” who became a cult figure for The People’s Church of the Divine Host

Gertrude Robinson - Former Archivist, died, presumably in The Archives. Oh boy! So, in Burnt Offering (MAG 37) it is revealed her hair and image was used in some twisted altar thingy and a dude who smashes a bottle there has all his things go up in flames.

Lesere Saraki- Nurse from MAG 12 First Aid who feels watched after the incident in the hospital

Mikaele Selesa- First appears in Piecemeal (MAG 14) where he tries to sell something to Norigea. Reappears in Lost and Found (MAG 38) as he sells Andre Ramao a vase.

Michael Shelly- “How would a melody describe itself when asked?” He needs help, likes giggling at Sasha. Says that the hive (Jane Prentiss) is rash. Knew Jon, Tim, and Martin’s names. Shows how to kill the worms in A Distortion (MAG 26).

Robert Smirke- An architect. He worked for Jergner Leitner to build an underground club as seen in Old Passages (MAG 35).

Nathaniel Thorp- Immortal being from Cheating Death (MAG 29)

Places, Concepts, and Organizations

Breekon and Hope Deliveries- Company that takes away the coffin from MAG 2 Do Not Open. Also the same company that gives the church the pale yellow stool in MAG 20, Desecrated Host.

Formula of Sacred Geometry- The intricate patterns we’ve been seeing that Jonathan says there are different schools

Hill Top Road- The place where Burnt Out takes place, had the apple underneath the bleeding tree in the intricate pattern box

The Magnus Institute- Founded 1818, has a series of tunnels under its building and seems to slow the horrors when inside its building.

Open Skydiving- An organization that seems to have never existed. Fairchild’s are connected to it

The People’s Church of the Divine Host- A small cult that grew around the defrocked pentecostal minister, Maxwell Rainer, in London during the late 80’s and mid 90’s

St. Thomas Hospital- Had the fire incident from First Aid and the nurse still feels watched there

Speculation

My inclinations about the horrors having certain types seems to be spot on. You have the Leitner Tomes, Sacred Geometry, Prentiss Parasites, Breekon and Hope distinctless entities, the Hands, Strange Music- even if I’m not spot on you can definitely group some of the ongoings together.

As for characters, Jonathan is slowly becoming a better person as he unlocks the skill empathy by being subjected to horrors himself. I believe the Lukas family will play a big part in the upcoming season as Elias seems to becoming more of a big player and with Elias comes more talk of funding and whatnot. Something I’d like to point out is that the institute is most likely not a good organization as all of the tendrils led to the archives and even Michael seems to hint that the Hive of parasites are right in wanting to destroy it.

Speaking of, Michael himself is then drawn into incredibly questionable territory. He used the attack to rid the archives of his recorded files and taught them how to fight Prentiss. He wants the institute around which just confirms to me that it has to be a rotten group.

As for where the plot goes from here I’m not entirely sure beyond more Lukas and Micheal involvement. We now have the added worries of Sasha and her experience with the Not Sasha voice we heard as well as questions as to who killed Gertrude Robinson as WELL as why she was being used in the horrors rituals.

Now for just my fun thoughts- I adore Martin. I think he’s my favorite character. He has so much thought and empathy put into all he does. Like the dude was running scenario after scenario in his mind to make sure everything would be okay when Jane attacked- and it sort of was because they fended her off and saved Tim. Alexander J Newall also kills his voice acting- I love how timid sounding he is and the delivery of his lines to Jon about being sorry for leaving him behind- AAAGGH it literally tore my heart into bits.

Anyways that’s enough rambling. Stay tuned for my season 2 notes and ideas!

Back with Re-listenings of S1 of TMA

Today's episode is MAG 11 Dreamer

Antonio (Oliver Banks) mentions his breakup with his boyfriend Graham.

By timeline this was supposed to happen around 2006. The same time MAG 3 happened. Is this the same Graham?

Oliver did your relationship ended because of the Stranger??? Am I getting this correctly?

To clarify this is a headcanon, it is not supported by anything other than same names and dates. It is a fun idea tho.

[thermodynamic-comedian]

imagine jonah seeing jane show up to the institute for the first time to make her statement. in the very midst of becoming, confused and afraid and already too far gone. maybe he remembered what that felt like, even after 200 years. to slowly lose yourself to something that feels so right. i'm sure that's something you don't easily forget.

and then imagine him seeing her again, as a full avatar. oh, he's been keeping an eye on her, of course he has. but to actually see her now, fully consumed by the corruption, a true monster. hostile and inhuman and attacking his institute.

now imagine he's in love.

[skyblue-haxi]

I'm now on mag 157, so here's some tma brainfood from season 1:

Season 1 spoilers btw

While Martin is locked in his apartment, Jon sends a text:

"Hey, I know you're sick right now, and this is kind of weird as your boss, but I was wondering if you would like to go to dinner to talk about things? I mean you don't have to if you don't want to. Sorry if this is too much. I'm going to send this and go to sleep. Unless you want to? Nevermind.

-Jonathan"

Unfortunately, Prentiss is on the other line. She feels kinda bad because she once knew love, so she has her worms open a window to coax out Martin. The preparations are close enough to ready. The night after Martin gets back, Jon receives another text.

"yo good luck with martin he seems cute but I still gonna kill him ;)"

This is what I think happened.

That's my Ted Talk, thanks for coming.

[your-mom-friend]

Ranking Avatars on a completely arbitrary scale:

Peter Lukas: 4/10 but only because he's funny. Don't like how he treats martin.

Simon Fairchild: 6/10 he killed a bunch of people but he's also a delightful little jokester who doesn't give a shit about the apocalypse and hangs around Peter for no reason. He's also been assigned martin-simp by Tumblr though this is a neutral point

Elias Douche-ard: 2/10 nice voice and fun to be evil with but he is also just a horrible man and I am gleeful every time he gets the shit beaten out of him it adds 2 years to my life span

Jon: 8/10 my poor little meow meow. he's really dumb sometimes but it's not totally his fault. He used to be an asshole before and is still not a perfect dude but he's trying god damnit

Jared: 7/10. Doesn't give a shit about the apocalypse either he's just having fun with his freaky powers. Points off because he terrorized people but he gave the archives business so

Gerry: 11.5/10. Rebelled against his fucked up mom and beat the shit out of Leitner. Broke the cycle of abuse and gave Jon actual information. Just wanted to rest :( He would've gotten a 12 if not for his shittily dyed hair, which was so bad it was a focal point of his appearance. A whole King.

Micheal Distortion: 8/10 what a fun twink. No toxic masculinity here no sir. He'd paint his nails. points off for his headache-laugh. Just vibing and going for his own agenda. Was going to be 7 but I gave him an extra point for his agenda against Gertrude. Was surprisingly sad when he died

Helen Disdoortion: 9/10 incredible character. Really parallels Jon earlier in her Becoming. thought that feeling guilty was a sucky emotion and stopped. Incredible.

Jane Prentiss: 5/10 I felt for her she was so scared :( but she also tried to kill like everyone and tried to literally rot a hole in reality idk what she thought she was doing actually kind of a dumb plan bestie

Oliver Banks: 9/10 character I love him so much he's incredible. No fucks to give. 1 point off because he killed a literal boat load of people but he also died so

Jude Perry: 7/10 everyone's favourite butch lesbian desolation avatar. Fun lady but also gave Jon some bad burns and wants to end the world which is not very sexy of her :/

Let me know everyone I missed and I'll do a part 2, gentles and ladymen

Edit: Part 2 is up!!
