even more self-indulgent tma headcanons wahoo (feel free to reblog with your own, i'd love to hear em)

melanie king has acne because not enough adult characters out there with acne

simon fairchild has never cried without also laughing, mostly because he sees his own emotions as just funny.

breekon and hope are hatsune miku fans.

nikola orsinov really enjoys bob fosse musicals and often plays the songs on the calliope (mostly wilkommen, money, and big spender)

jonah magnus loves sour apple as a taste in candy/desserts.

during thunderstorms, when lightning strikes, helen's outlines go all sharp, like a cartoon cat.

Details for doing business with the Circus of the other (and making it out alive and with your skin intact)

So, you are an avatar or some other person wishing to correspond with the Circus of the Other for whatever reason. If you want to make it out unharmed then here are some things to keep in mind:

1: make sure to get a nametag from the Ringmaster, this isn’t for people there to know your name, no it’s just so they know not to skin you.

2: do not open the two delivery men’s coffin. They won’t stop you or anything but let’s just say you’ll meet a horrible fate.

3: do not break or damage the taxidermy or you will be joining the taxidermy.

4: do not bring C4 or other explosives with you.

5: do not mention Cirque Du Soleil as they don’t like them. (The less you know about it the better)

6: do not compare them to Cirque Du Soleil, as that’s basically asking for a death sentence.

7: Generally just don’t ask any questions and just keep walking when you see something weird or disturbing.

i want one thing to happen in tmagp and it's that breekon and hope are normal, human delivery men who live their normal and human lives. none of them are dead, and they will not die. also, they shall be married and live together. maybe they will have a dog.

Tma fans be like “awww such a cute couple!!” And it’s literally either

Two identical buff postal workers

All-knowing eldritch antichrist and his murderous plus one

A youtuber who stabbed her own eyes out and a podcaster who can’t feel fear

Crooked cop and crooked cop who is also a dog

Invisible sea captain and a 200 yo eyeball bitch

I’m glad Magnus Protocol canonized OnlyFans; now my prediction on this universe’s Elias’ occupation are true.

[drawing-dinos82]

when it comes to fandoms, there's really only four hills i'll actually die on. and those are:

john gaius is the single most insane character ever written on a purely conceptual basis

lena kelley is not like jonah magnus. at all. in fact, they're practically opposites.

if kayne from malevolent was a fear avatar, he would be slaughter. nothing else. purely slaughter.

elias bouchard would not fucking look like THAT

[drawing-dinos82]

I'm relistening to The Magnus Archives, and I made a list of Actual Canonical Details we as a fandom forget about

- sasha gets coffee from a specific coffee shop every morning

- Jon has an excellent sense of direction

- canonically in artifact storage there is: a wardrobe light cannot penetrate, a carved rock eye that interferes with the video cameras and therefore is kept in a black velvet bag, and a scalpel ride with disease no matter what they use to sterilize it, kept in a hermetically sealed plastic box

- during halloween week, they have to call in the archives as backup due to the influx of statements. jon canonically gets a good nights sleep after disproving these statements.

- Jon sincerely believes he is far too unlucky for statements to just be a hallucination

- Not-sasha asked not to be recorded multiple times

- when told he benifited from gertrude's death, jons only response was "...I didn't?"

- [daisy became police in ~2002, almost 15 years before the story starts...meaning she is canonically late thirties/early 40s

- even when compared with the paranormal, daisy considers car accidents worse

- mary keay made an eye pun "i know the institute and i haven't always seen eye to eye, as it were"

- jon noticed when ghost hunt uk stopped updating

- sasha is taller than not-sasha

- annabelle dresses like a vintage clothing store exploded on her, has bleach blonde hair and dark skin

- annabelle looked "like the type of person that talked to cleaners as if they were actual people"

- annabelle looms over the cleaner by almost a full foot, meaning she Tall

- "the moment i die will feel just the same as this one" is not just a georgie thing, it's an End thing in general, as proved in ep 70

- not-sasha tends to stay late

- martin worked at the institute in 2009

- micheal has curly sandy blonde hair

-micheal is tall

- melanie and jon are on the same wavelength, and when working together they both came to the same conclusions with the same evidence

- elias does not think daisy is smart

- georgie is observant, and pays attention to peoples behavior

- melanie thought jon killing someone with a pipe was "wildly out of character" for him

- georgie and jon have a mutual friend named Jess who thinks Hungarian food is "too Soviet"

- jon borrowed georgie's coat when he went to meet jude perry

- jon tells jude to kill him as an ultimatum every five minutes

- elias tells tim that when presented with horrors, he finds comfort in beaurocrocy

- jared hopworth is handsome with cheekbones and a jawline to die for

- georgie was canonically willing to cover for jon to the police with no context after an unpleasant breakup and after no contact for almost 5 years

- georgie grew up poor in liverpool, and had a scouse accent until she went to oxford

- basira is a huge nerd and will talk about what she's reading to anyone who will listen

- nikola makes an allusion to not having a face

- martin and melanie got along fantastically

- georgie told jon that he needs anchors

- "if something happened to you, or-or god forbid, The Admiral, I-"

- "Don't be a Stranger." georgie thinks she's funny

- michael had a childhood friend who was taken by something like michael (schizophrenic) and that's what drove him to the magnus institut-he never you over what he saw or didn't see

- Hannah is a black woman who works in the library, had a "Thing With The Milk In The Breakroom" in april 2016. Went on maternal leave to have a baby in June of 2017.

- elias enjoys scheduling

- martin zones out when he has to read a statement, and often takes little notice of his surroundings when doing so/about to do so

- martin was looking for a book called "marvelous spiritualism and the circus in tge 19th century" and a guy named tom said tim had it checked out

- danny and tim didn't talk much, but were still close

- Abigail Ellison-who tim calls abby- is a mutual friend of tim and danny's from "back home"

- tim shipped danny and abby

- out of the two of them, danny was more assertive and tim "had never been able to stand in the way of his confidence"

- tim has a big armchair, a printer, and a couch

- melanie has made everyone in the archives cry

- [basira loved wtg until it "took a weird turn in season 3" when they introduced something she thought was odd

- melanie, basira, and martin used to go out for drinks, and martin and basira were gossip buddies

- Melanie's dad had dementia relatively young, but he always remembered her. He called her "Little Moth", and her mothers life insurance helped pay for him to be put into Ivy Meadows Care Home-where he was killed by the Corruption at the hands of John Amherst before Julia and Trevor burnt it down.

- julia is in her early thirties and wears nondescript hard wearing denim

- jon thought that reading statements could be a classical addiction, but decided that even if it was he had no time to, as he put it, "experiment"

- Peter was surprised that elias killed people kimself-implying elias has people to do murders for him. what other murders did he commission

- martin and basira both noticed something wrong with melanie after the Elias Incidint when her work started to deteriorate-martin said she'd always been "quite conscientious"

- right after being told by basira that standing by with a cup of tea wasnt enough, when melanie entered the room Martin immediately offered her a cup of tea.

- Martin knocked over a stack of papers and defended himself by saying that they shouldn't have been there. the absolute madlad

- after micheal stabbed jon, jon told martin he stabbed himself with a bread knife; and martin then proceeded to A) believe him and B) not trust him with anything sharp after that

- Gerry didn't care abt what happened in the unknowing bc he's a book. jon asked if he was serious. Gerry responded that he was, in fact, dead serious.

- gerard called trevor and julia "the van helsings"

- gerry was jealous of lietner bc his mom paid so much attention to them

- mary haunted gerard for 5 years before gertrude destroyed her, and gerry cried with relief when gertrude gave him back the destroyed book

- before the unknowing, daisy was running around killing mannequins and other Strangers

- tim didn't think they would be able to stope the unknowing

- jon would rather have tim where he could see him-which is why he let tim come (guilt guilt guilt guilt GUILT GUILT GUIL GU

- basiras dad couldn't stand people who passively whined about their problems. he always said "If you don't like something, you accept it and you adapt, or you fight, and you change it. Whining doesn't help."

- Melanie was depressed before the unknowing

- jon rambles about his latest insights and melanie wants to punch him.

- martin: "it felt good, weaving my own little web." "Also, i get to burn some stuff, so that's cool"

- basira was the one to suggest that they not tell Melanie they were doing surgery

-Daisy made jon listen to the Archers. "I hate it. but it feels... good, to hate something that can't hurt me"

It seems like Jon would’ve had his hands pretty full when he was running around in the tunnels with a flashlight in one hand and a tape recorder in the other, I think it would’ve been fun if he just got some light up sketchers so they could just light his way as he walked so he wouldn’t even need a flashlight.

This dose pose two major challenges though, number one, Tim is not gonna leave Jon alone about them lol (as is his right), and number two (my personal favourite) at the end of season two when Jon is trying to out run the NotSasha! It would be pretty hard for him to hide if the NotThem! Could just follow the flashing light coming from his shoes. I think that it would be hilarious, just picture that deranged sweaty little guy sprinting away from a monster, trying to outrun it through these confusing tunnels but the monster knows where he’s going because his sketchers keep lighting up, so then Jon’s trying to outrun the creature and take his shoes off at the same time, hopping down the tunnels on one foot as he tries to pull the shoe off, once it’s off he immediately chucks it at the NotThem! To try and slow them down. It amazes me how easily this horror podcast could have been a comedy, they were really walking that thin thin line.

I thought Basira and Martin were the same person for a LONG time. Guess which one I am.
