Michael: I've come to a decision, Archivist. I'm going to kill you 😈😈😈

Jon: Uggggghhh🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

“Average person gets kidnapped 5 times” factoid actually a statistical error. Kidnappings Jon, who has been kidnapped 10,000 times is an outlier and should not have been counted

The Magnus Archives ends with Jon's tapes, and therefore the fears, being released into our reality. It's a really clever ending because A: It explains why TMA is a podcast. Because we're listening to the "tapes." B: It's one final jolt of horror before closing the series. C: It makes us really consider Jon's choice, and if we still agree with it knowing that our universe would be one of the one's affected by the fears being unleashed. 

However, something else I think this ending implies is that the audience as a whole is connected to The Eye. (Which is ironic because TMA isn't a visual media. But I digress)

We're listeners who have spent five seasons learning forbidden knowledge about another universe and the entities that reside in it. But not just that, we've interacted with that universe in the worst ways. We're shown in the series that the more someone learns about the world of TMA the further they're pulled into it, and the best thing to do is "turn a blind eye" and walk away. Yet, like Jon, we've kept listening/reading anyway. We've pushed the limits of our knowledge until we've reached the final conclusion: that, in-universe, the fears are real and now we're aware of their existence. 

We ceaselessly watched until we learned everything there was to know. We fed the The Eye just as much as Jon did.

All of us are eye coded. It came free with our Magnus Archive subscription. But on a real slightly less memey note: I think it's neat how TMA decided to wrap up the story in a way that gives the audience a real role as a watcher. In universe we are characters just as much as Jon, Martin, Tim, and Sasha are, and I love that from a writing perspective. However, that could just be my eye coding.

i think the horror in Elias’ body being stolen isn’t just the fact that it’s stolen, but the fact that nobody cares. It’s feels like a step-up from the NotThem because at least with the NotThem everyone except one has the privilege of forgetting the real person- not with Elias, though. no. Everyone knew, including the audience, and nobody bothers to refer to Jonah as his real name. Instead of unknowingly forgetting, they’re doing so willingly.

Peter acknowledged the fact that Jonah steals bodies, he even knew him when he was James Wright, and still verbalised his choice to call him Elias. Gertrude knew, and possibly knew the actual Elias too, and still spat out the name Elias right before she died like it’s an insult. The audience is well aware, and yet it’s jonelias, not jonjonah. when it’s not lonelyeyes it’s peterelias, not peterjonah. Both in and out of the universe, the original Elias is gone.

The Magnus archives where everything is exactly the same but in episode 92 when Elias reads out Barnabas bennet’s statement he moves barnabas’s skull that he still has in his office for some reason(the reason is he’s ga-) like a hand puppet while doing a terrible impression of his voice from memory. And it’s been like 200 years since he last heard his voice so it’s like comically bad.
