Magnus Protocol 7: Give and Take thoughts

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk :D

[buildoblivionthenwewilltalk]

yes i totally agree that one of the protocol crew is definitely not coming back from the hilltop centre -but what if it’s not a matter of life and death?

what if someone goes through a door

[clawfootcoffin]

the drowned woman's poem seemed like a recounting of her time spent in a vast & buried collab oceanic hellscape ??!?!?!?!?!??!?! the drowned woman & alice's encounter being recorded via a fucking tape recorder?!?!?!?!

and, lady m? excuse me? another giant beautiful woman in MY magnus protocol? they really made this show for the Women Lovers

and, finally, lady m finding celia different. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. if she isnt careful, someone is going to Figure her Out and she'll have plenty of explaining to do

[ashes-in-a-jar]

My feeling right now about the cast

[captaincrazycreative]

Litteraly everyone in this podcast knows WAY more than they're letting on and it's driving me insane

[moonlightmagical]

let’s talk about celia ripely.

celia ripley who has the same name and va as a celia from tma.

celia ripley who is the first person in this universe to mention something about the fears.

celia ripley who seems to know jon's voice after 'chester' reads a case file.

celia ripely what the fuck are you doing.

[helpimstuckposting]

“What does Celia MEAN the archivist isn’t acting as expected, WHAT DOES SHE MEAN?????!!”

What tf do you mean????? you cannot possibly be denying she’s TMAs Celia still???? She’s expecting it to be a fully functioning person, not a mindless zombie monster that’s killing random ass people with no rhyme or reason. She knows Jon. She’s expecting Jon. She’s confused because it’s not acting like Jon. What’s the issue here??

[basilpaste]

AH.

[witchinatree]

making a list of my favorite quote/ones that stuck with me from each season 1 episode because i feel like it

(i'm starting this after episode 4 but it will be a WHILE before i post it)

episode 1: "bones are a lie peddled by Big Milk" - alice

i love this one because it's a great introduction to alice i think. also it radiates spiral so i hope we get avatar alice not dead alice (isnt there a podcast called alice isnt dead?)

episode 2: "If I wanted to clear the canvas, I would have used turpentine." - statement

this one was just fucking powerful and caught me so off guard like 😶

episode 3: "What would I do without her?" - statement

the norris statement <3 it feels like martin asking what he would do without jon which makes mag200 a lot sadder and i love them

episode 4: "Perhaps you shall prove a stronger will than I, and will yet find it within yourself to destroy this hungry thing of wood and cat-gut." - statement

augustus sighting #1 and we immediately get jonah magnus expressing that it may be possible for gwen bouchard unknown family member to overcome the eye's hunger spooky violin

episode 5: "Voyeur needs to be seen to be believed." - statement

i feel like this one is pretty reflective of how the seasons gonna go? like if you explain the events of tma (mag200 specifically) no one's gonna believe you, it must be seen to be believed!! and also seen!! like the eye!!!

episode 6: "Not sca- This isn’t some poxy blood test, some little pinprick, this is hundreds, thousands of razor sharp points pushing into your flesh." - needles

i love needles so much and i thought this was really funny because it was like "you dont find me scary!! what the fuck!!!" just kind of toddler michael energy

episode 7: "It’s not like we’re wrestling with tape recorders and manila folders." - celia

STOP IT. celia you can't say that you just cannot!!!!!! you Know™ too much maam i cant with you

episode 8: "Pleasure to meet you both. I’m Gerry!"

RAGHHHHH OH MY GOD GERRY!!!! i love him so much and idk how to handle him being alive in the tmagp universe!! gertrude too but idk we got so much of her in tma and not nearly enough of gerry

episode 9: "And honestly, it’s kind of compelling by this point." - sam

they got him 😔😔 the horrors got sam 😔😔 also i found this to be an interesting contrast to jon's heavy resistance in season 1 like he was being compelled but he wasn't going to let anyone know that vs sam "its kinda compelling to trauma dump on this paperwork :]" how is he somehow even more victim material

episode 10: "Gosh you’re sexy, here’s a twenty for your trouble.” - alice

does this count as a quote if shes also quoting what she thinks sam should say? idk anyway i love her i would say that to her if given the chance and it was very silly. i will not be addressing bonzo i am scared.

episode 11: "...Thank you, Alice" - gwen

dyhard dyhard dyhard dyhard dyhard. okay also, the way she CRUMBLED at the idea of anyone doing anything nice for her please someone give her a hug and let it be ME. this series is tossing me back and forth between sam & alice (what is their ship name) and dyhard but this put me back to dyhard

episode 12: "You know it's rude to have absolutely no game?" - alice

she's so fucking funny i need her to be okay so badly!!!! i don't think even tim made me laugh as much as she makes me chuckle and this one really got me. it's hard to write such a comedic character in a podcast since you only have the voice but they really nailed it i adore her

episode 13: "Is it my fault?" - gwen

each of these episodes just reveal a little bit more about how loving and soft gwen is and idk i love her so unbelievably much so seeing that she felt guilt about the bonzo stuff just made her so much more real :(

episode 14: "Christ, they’re in the walls…" - statement

theyre in the walls!!! theyre in the goddamn walls!!!!! anyway that got me because i realized the hole before the statement said it. made more sad than scared tbh

episode 15: "Babies are cool!" - alice this entire interaction between her and sam & celia was so awkward, she is so obvious and i love her anyway

episode 16: "It’s not like I was holding doors open for Mr Bonzo or anything." - gwen my wife is so so so stupid but i adore her AND this gives room for character development. i wish she did not do that though. i love when characters are flawed and have depth but i struggled to get past THIS flaw of hers

episode 17: "Thanks, I guess. Not exactly the same, though, is it?" - celia shes talking TO JON IN THE COMPUTER. SHE KNOWS. i lost my damn mind i love her i love her. get the gay people out of the puter please queen

episode 18: "Why would I need to talk to you? Your work is satisfactory. Unless you have a work-related issue I could assist you with?" - lena solidified my opinion that lena is the best boss to ever have, i adore her and i would want to work for her if she wasn't the boss of Creepy Establishment #1

episode 19: "You’re going to throw it in the fishtank, aren’t you?" - alice colin's behavior is like really worrying BUT i'm glad he's back. i was not convinced he was still alive

episode 20: "I suppose it’s too late for remorse, isn’t it? And why should I be sorry? This is what I deserve!" - ink5oul/statement they reminded me of jon a lot, like especially his season 3/4 transformation when he doesn't quite know everything but he knows he isn't who he was in season 1 anymore, i hope we see more of their life and they can be helped :(

episode 21: [Tape Recorder Bites Ink5oul] - audio description i know it's not technically a quote but this is just so fucking funny. why does it have teeth. what does this mean for the lore. holy shit.

episode 22: "Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood" - celia. knawing at the walls of my enclosure i am so not okay. i'm not okay. wtf. wtf. wtf. they're real. wtf.

episode 23: "I had a favorite mug. It said “love you, bitch” and had a picture of a drunk dog on it." - alice. okay i just love this entire interaction because gwen got to open up a little bit and my dyhard heart is so full

episode 24: "I am told that children like me, and I’ve always held the opinion that the world would be a better place if everyone just thought more." - basira. once again this whole interaction was so fun but like idk i loved hearing basira somewhat happy and in a safe place :] my wife <3

episode 25: " I am trying to help, to save us from this goddamned fucking nightmare machine!" - colin. MAN I REALLY WAS ROOTING FOR YOU!!! I WAS SO CONFIDENT YOU WEREN'T GONNA DIE!!!! it's over

episode 26: "I was worrying for a moment that you were Magnussing." - alice. MAGNUSSING BEING CANON MADE ME SAY IT EVEN MORE I'VE SAID IT LIKE TWICE ALREADY

episode 27: "You didn’t tell me the room was labelled, “Archivist.”" - celia. oooooh somebody's got TRAUMAAAAA LMAO

episode 28: "So you’re telling me you know nothing about an OIAR external contract being found with the bodies of two tattooed thugs who met rather grisly ends?" - TREVOR HERBERT???? anyway. ink5oul mention!!!!! i hope they stop killing people it's really rude

episode 29: "Alice, er… we’ve got to talk. It’s important." - teddy. i knew it was over for him but i didn't think it was gonna be THIS bad??? bye babe i guess??? 😭

episode 30: how do i even pick. the whole fucking episode. i can't. i am in a state of shock. i need to lay down for 30 years.

[cirrus-grey]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck the goddamn music-

I don't know the name for the technique but there's this thing that was in there that's the string players, like, tapping the instrument with the bow to create a more percussive sound and normally I wouldn't think too much of it but I swear to god it sounded like creeping spider legs. During the case set at Hill Top Road. With the very obvious references to the Buried and the Stranger and all the rest. Which dropped about a hundred Achives references including Jon's fucking name???

I have always respected the soundscaping they do at Rusty Quill but they're really going above and beyond for this show.

[navree]

i say this with all due respect, and so much love, cuz i do actually like him, but on what planet is martin an important name at the magnus institute? like, jonah created the place and stuck around for the entire time as its head over and over, jonathan is the lynchpin of the ritual/the archivist/the literal archive itself, martin is just A Guy!

[fallenclan]

IM FEELING UNWELL ABOUT MAPLESTAR. imagine you are the VERY FIRST cat to be born into this clan (Maple is the oldest of his siblings). and there is a cat in charge of the clan and your Dad is second in command, but the cat in charge doesn't last very long and soon your Dad is the leader. and he looks after the clan even at the expense of his lives (he DIES saving you from the mouth of a dog) and he works tirelessly and gives everything he has and all the while it looks completely effortless. and the clan keeps growing and changing and before long it isn't a clan anymore. it's a FAMILY. cats who would bleed for each other without asking why. who would take food off their own (metaphorical) plates and give it to each other. who dedicate their lives to serving the ones who stand at their side. and this family is POWERFUL. of all the others in the area, it is the largest, and it is the oldest, and the history is the richest, and your father remembers the day it began.

and then your father dies. and you are the one chosen to replace him.

how can you hope to measure up to that? how can you look at the space he used to fill and even conjure up the image of you filling it yourself? how can you wake up knowing that these cats, this family, who once leaned all of their weight on your father, are now prepared to lean it on you?

how can you wake up knowing that it wasn't effortless after all? that every life he lost hurt like it was the only one he had? that he needed as much sleep and food and rest and love as every other cat?

it must tear you up inside

[the-moon-and-the-comet]

i don’t think that jmart are trapped in the puter. i think it’s just their voices - but not just jonny’s and alex’s voices, but jon’s and martin’s

remember how in mag 65 tessa winters talks about how casette tapes being analogical is a common misconseption and how in actuality they are digital, just an old version of digital? i think that somehow, the tapes we know and love tangeled together with the puters (old digital merging with old digital, making it impossible to update (also, im pretty sure that tapes are the direct predecessor to floppy discs, they’re also both a kind of magnetic storage (it was never about analog vs digital but about magnets after all lmao))) and that’s how norris and chester sound like jmart - their voices are the most common on the tapes after all. i think that tma’s ending will remain sort of open, and that norris and chester are not martin and jon, but merely an echo, a small part of them.

[captaincrazycreative]

I've seen people comparing the end of this episode to gravity falls, and I have to say I'm absolutely delighted imagining a scene like the one in gravity falls of Sam coming back out of the portal, 30 years older through timey-wimey shannanigans, but also absolutely jacked from his inter-dimensional travels. And just. Immediately decking one of his ex-coworkers in the face and tackling them to the ground. Just Completely disarming them.

[tabbbbyyyy]
