No you guys don’t understand, I went into TMA completely blind with only a faint idea halfway through season 1 that Martin might develop vague feelings for Jon by the end of the series. That was it. I thought it was just going to be just Season 1 format for five seasons. (Puts on creepy clown makeup.)

Then I got to the Season 1 Q&A, and I was astonished by Jonny and Alex’s chemistry. No, really. I watch a lot of sapphic YouTube, and they finished each other’s sentences and laughed at each other’s jokes like long-term wives. They agreed on just about everything—especially for the more complex questions—and their disagreements were playful and adorable.

(I was like, if these two aren’t dating yet, then they should. They should do it for the gays.)

Well, I was completely and utterly wrong. (Jonny is married to Sasha Sienna, Georgie’s VA, and Alex is married to Hannah Brankin, Rosie’s VA. The former is actually quite narratively satisfying.) Both through personal experiences and disappointment in other media, I’ve been so primed to be skeptical of cishet-passing white men who write speculative fiction. And yet, Jonny and Alex turned out to be just two people who genuinely care about representing diverse identities, respecting the audience’s investments in the characters, and leaning into the plot’s natural progression instead of resisting. They’re just wholesome men.

ngl, it kind of reminded me there is still hope in the world.

They are incredible writers, and honestly? You probably should co-write with people that are as compatible with your vibe and wavelength as a romantic or queer-platonic partner would be.

I would laugh so hard if Alex and Jonny voicing the text to speech was just because Jonny wanted to voice act his spooky stories still. Like it's not Jon and Martin, it's just Jonny refusing to let other people get all of his spooky story time

Alex "spreadsheets solve everything except the problem of too many spreadsheets" newalls's compromise was getting to create a horrific filing system

in the wake of the rq drama i’d just like to make a psa:

please please please do not boycott the art coming out of rq - you can hate the company as much as you like (i personally do not think the article is credible but that’s beside the point) but boycotting the art which comes out of it is very dangerous

a lot of independent creators work with rq and use its platform for their work, boycotting those artists can literally put the livelihoods of people who have done nothing wrong at risk - completely defeating the whole point of hating and not supporting the company

please do not misdirect your anger

this is the best way i can explain what it is i want to say bc my brain is a little mushy as of present so feel free to help me rephrase but yeah my point stands

this is not a place for arguing either - please don’t get too heated in the replies: prioritise education and healthy discussion bc i wanna keep my page semi-discourse free

alex as a PC is never not amazing. he’s such a great GM but any time he gets to play a character in a one-off or something he is SO excited and the character is usually incredibly obnoxious to the other players to great hilarity. delightful. 10/10. no notes.

also ed keystone is an international treasure and i want to adopt him.

[ineffable-grimm-pitch]

haven’t posted a threat on alex’s life in a while

so this is my public warning to mr newall that i am still actively approaching, lead pipe in hand

There is something so sinister about Celia saying "Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood" immediately being followed up by Sam saying "who?" ALEX J WHEN I CATCH YOU.

So while listening to Episode 6's case, I remembered that during the early premiere stream Jonny and Alex talked about Needles a bit. So I figured I'd put them together to make a nice little intro for Needles because I fell in love with him immediately.

S2 Jon so far is so funny because he’s literally just “Wow Martin is a lot more competent and responsible than I originally thought and he seems rather concerned about my mental health and general well-being. So obviously he’s trying to murder me”

alexander j newall saying “fluffy wuffy uwu nonsense” and “blorbo scrunkly twink” and them putting “alpha male” in the script was NOT on my 2024 bingo card but here we are

Jonny really said “yeah every AU is true. all of them. look here I just made one. all of them are canon now.”
