#MAG 106

[bardic-irritation]

losing my mind what do you mean martin is canonically Down Bad for jon? and jon is canonically ace? these were casually confirmed in the span of like 30 seconds? i thought those were just the typical in-denial fanbase headcanons, they're REAL?!?

Revolutionary take, Basira is aroace and the reason why she said "Yeah, that does explain some stuff" in episode 106 is because she finally understood why she felt an unexpected affinity with Jon

[bitter-goodbyes]

1. Cool statement :3

2. Basira and Melanie gossiping about Martin having a huge crush on Jon????? Let’s gooo!!!!!!

3. ACE JON?????!??!?!!!!!!!

4. ELIAS WHAT THE HECK????? WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM??????

Damn, just listened to Mag 106. Got nervous for a second when I realized this was another perspective of the space story from episode 57, that episode wrecked me. But this one wasn’t too bad.

Oh Melanie and Basira gossiping like regular coworkers would, thank God for a bit of normalcy. Their comments about Jon and Martin made me laugh.

Too bad the good stuff doesn’t last long. I was afraid of what would happen if Elias decided to get nasty with anyone causing trouble and we finally have an answer. He will take something horrible and implant it in your brain and make you see it for as long as he wants. Melanie’s sobs were heartbreaking. Now I can’t help but wonder: If Elias does this with anyone else, what will he make them see?

Why is Elias such a hater?

[curious-gnostic]

Elias has become my favorite character through this relisten. Waiting for him to psychologically torture people more… The curse of knowledge being wielded as a weapon is so sexy

[flowersfrombefore]

An EXTREMELY bold choice to in about 5 minutes of episode: confirm Jon is Asexual, confirm he dated Georgie, confirm that everyone thinks Martin is in love with Jon, drop some absolutely insane lore about Melanie, and have Elias perform probably the most evil thing he has done so far in the show. Like….holy fuck guys calm down…I need a sec…

mag 106 - ELIAS WHAT. sir please stop threatening people you're the one who's singlehandedly keeping this as a horror podcast hello

well other than that melanie and basira's conversation was so cute, and ive finally gotten to the first hints of jmart lolll (also not basira calling martin pathetic 😭)

also ive finally met helen! gonna miss michael but i cant wait to see what she does she seems fun

[spiralling-spires]

I just noticed that at the beginning of mag 106, Melanie does a clap. I haven't confirmed if she does that in other episodes yet or not, but assuming she does, I love that little nod to her being a youtuber. I remember Tom Scott making a video about the little clap he does at the beginning of his videos, and anyways now I'm imagining the clap is a reflex from her time working with audiovisual medium rather than just audio. I also love the metalevel of a tma character doing a clap to sync audio, while the actor playing said character is surrounded by sound guys who (based on the bloopers) spend a lot of time clicking and clapping to get the audio balance right.

Melanie and Basira gossiping about Martin's crush on Jon is the best thing ever

[silly-lil-blog]

[capybapybara]

some more melanie art because i’m so so normal about her :3

[dandyleyen]

Finishing up MAG #106 and oh my god,,, this really does cement how awful a person Elias is. Like don’t get me wrong, I love him. Love to hate him, but for the most part, a lot of the shit he’s done is not like,,, such a huge deal. But him just torturing Melanie like that is vile. I understand the reasoning behind it but ouch

Also, Martin crushing on Jon + Asexual Jon crumbs 🏃🏽‍♂️
