#AND THE TAPE RECORDER

[joe-spoooky]

thort: everyone is saying that jon doesnt want sam to go to the magnus institute, but maybe he does. in tma he literally said he didnt want to become another mystery, maybe he hopes that if sam knows what happened he could understand and help avoid making the same mistakes ? or like for sam to release him ? or just so someone else out there knows what happened, so he doesn't become a mystery. i mean we have no idea the shape of things yet they could throw anything at us so idk

jonny and alex when i FUCKING catch you. oh my god. using your fluff episode to fully establish the friendship between alice and colin when the last episode was her FINDING HIS [presumably] DEAD BODY.. absolutely despicable. cartoonish. admirable commitment to the bit. [the bit being causing your listeners as much pain as possible]

There are two kinds of tma fans that listen to tmagp

One that looses their shit the second they hear a tape recorder

And one that is so used to hearing tape recorders that they don’t notice until they see everyone loosing their shit over it

There is some so insanely heartbreaking to me about Jonathan Sims and the way the statements were recorded. They were all originally handwritten which is such a very human thing, using your own flesh and blood write something down, just the amount of effort and emotion that goes into that. And then Jon had to digitize them using a tape recorder, definitely a lot less human as it’s now batteries and tape but still human enough since it’s using his voice. And now he’s fully inhuman, robotic, stuck in a computer, where there used to be blood and skin and bone there is now plastic and wires and a screen.

I’m currently studying funeral services and in my embalming textbook it talks about how one woman phrased it like “a dead body is an object, but it is an object unlike any other object, cannot be like any other object, because this object used to be alive” and I really like that, it feels comforting, it feels human. Jon doesn’t get this though, he was terrified of being inhuman and he doesn’t even get to be human in this “somewhere else” he doesn’t get to be an object that used to be alive, he is just an object, like a pencil that wrote down the original statements, or the tape recorder that used to record them, and now the computer.
