Prompt 338

So the GIW is the Ghost Investigation Ward and not the Ghost Extermination Ward, yes? Hear me out, hm? 

See, it’s really hard to study ecto-entities when they’re going all over in and out of the world. Really hard! And of course they aren’t like, sentient, studies for years before the boom in this one town showed this! But, the overgrown not-birds (they’re still debating that) are really hard to watch doing their natural thing when they naturally mimic people around them! 

So! They got this idea, right? Their operatives can capture some! They’ve even made enclosures based off of what they currently know! It’s like containing crows, down to the mimicry & puzzle solving just er, with opposable thumbs and intangibility. 

And they don’t succeed first tries of course (Wow were said operatives frustrated and maybe cursing a bit that might be a bit violently) but then they get some assistance from the Fentons! Trying to hit an ecto-entities’ wings in a way to not permanently injure them is hard, but the new net canons that a ghost can’t pass through? Perfect! 

They have so many specimens now! They even released a few that were very much uncontainable- they rely on technology a bit and that entity kept unlocking all the doors. So catch and release with that one it is!  

They even managed to catch the white-haired ghost! In double! Which might not seem that important, but! As they realize during intake & initial examination (wow are they bitey) the two appear to be young! Something their ectobiologists only theorized about but oh are they excited! (Now if only the two would stop trying to escape their enclosure that’d be swell! Look, toys! Foo- oh dear God that baby ecto-entity is melting- Oh few, okay note taken to raise ambient ecto levels in that room dear god that was horrifying and stressful. … Maybe get some feelers out for feeding unstable energy entities…)

i heard it was jazz week @autobotjazzweek and immediately this image teleported directly into my brain this was all i could think of and i had to make it a reality, ill follow the prompt for tomorrow but for today i gift you this

[jazzically]

i dont think ive been properly appreciating how good of a voice actor jonny is. like yeah i know hes amazing and ive mentioned how wonderfully it contributes to the whole of the magnus archives but he's REALLY GOOD

i dont think i would have been able to act as the archivist as well as he did, knowing what i know now, and especially not as someone who wrote the story. THIS GOES FOR ALEX TOO BY THE WAY. literally oh my god alex and jonny and frank and mike and ben and everyone else youre all INCREDIBLY TALENTED!!!!!!!! i cant express properly how much i

im relistenin g to mag 22 now grahhhhhh martin blackwood you are such a rich realistic amazing perfect character ilysm

i remember my vague impressions of martin at the very beginninf and i did not think he was going to be as main a character as he is now. i thought martin was a mystery . kinda like michael afton. jon was going on about how useless and annoying martin was and then he was featured for the first time and i was like OHMYGODHESSOBABYGIRL I LOVE HIM jon why are you so mean to him!!!!??! anyway anyway its just jarring when i think of what i thought of martin before i was verrry intrigued and i just i guess i miss not knowing (insert something deep here about one of the many overarching themes of tma)

“Fingers move fingers / My wrists made of satin / Don't be afraid of what's gonna happen / Elbows to ankles my fists out of place / I turn around backwards and off slides my face …” From “Mechanical Flattery” by Lydia Lunch

I Was a Teenage Death Kitten: stark death jazz masterpiece Queen of Siam, the solo debut album by luscious No Wave bad girl Lydia Lunch, was released on this day (9 February 1980) 45 years ago by ZE Records. “Her laconic slur of a voice has never sounded sexier, and her off-key rendition of "Spooky" is so lazily erotic that it nearly sucks the life out of you,” concludes John Dougan of AllMusic guide. “A putrid classic of style and substance.” Is there any higher praise? Even dean of American rock critics Robert Christgau - most definitely not normally an admirer of Lunch’s - begrudgingly admired Queen: “Having walked out on three different bands led by this dame, I have the credentials to certify this funny, sexy, accidental little record. Half the time she exaggerates her flat Cleveland accent into a hickish, dumb-and-dirty come-on or parody of same, and half the rest of the time she plays her foolish nihilist poetry for laughs, which leaves a quarter of the time when she's the nihilist fool I'll walk out on till the day she dies. Pat Irwin's big-band atonalisms suit her city-of-night shtick perfectly. And "Spooky" is the cover of the year.” The striking cover image was snapped by George DuBose. Lunch’s black leather bustier (customized with construction nails) was created by Paul Zone. As DuBose has recalled, “The mirror idea was Lydia's. She showed me a book, Glamour Portraits of the '30s, and in that book there was a portrait of Lucille Ball that she wanted me to copy.” Queen of Siam is a life-changing record!

Brain can't stop thinking about the parallels between Ghilan'nain and Eurydice, and how Solas saw those parallels and feared what could become of Eury. It still floors me that the two of them work so damn well together because how could I have ever known what Ghilan'nain was back in 2015 when I picked her vallaslin because it was the closest to Lady Amalthea's mark? We only ever had a hint of what Ghilan'nain was, the rest was just us interpreting her as a kindly, wispy halla mother; how the hell was any of us supposed to see her coming? This is why it's just so exciting for me that I stumbled on Eurydice's patron goddess the Mother of Monsters. 

I couldn't have planned that better if I tried, dude! It's like the dark mirror image or future of Eurydice I didn't know was a possibility and I am living for it. It makes me a little madder that the Inquisitor isn't the main character of Veilguard because oh my god CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT I COULD DO WITH THAT?

Like I get it, I get, this is my oc, I can't expect the game to cater to that but ffffuuucck the missed opportunity of Ghilan'nain and Eurydice battling it out. This is absolutely what rewrites are for and I am gonna go INSANE with it. Eurydice being forced to face that it may have been fate she picked Ghilan'nain as her goddess, that there was something intricately inside her that called out to the Mother of Navigation, Halla, but ultimately of Monsters. Eurydice, who is naturally curious, poking at things she shouldn't, plays with bones and flesh (but only the dead), and using herself for experiments just to see what would happen. I doubt in canon Ghilan'nain heard her prayers, knew her weakness and desires, and when she saw her, would whisper into her mind  'oh my wayward daughter, don't you wish to come home'? 

'I offer what you always wanted--knowledge and freedom. I am the only one to understand you. I was the you who embraced the monster, the broken thing, that she was and I fixed myself'.

(Cooing in her ear when Eurydice rejects her that she can't hide from her, she knows what she hides in the hollow husk she calls a chest, she knows there is no beating heart in her, and she knows that she choose the weakest of mates, the shemling--the most breakable of beings--and soon she will shattered right in front of her, like glass, and then Ghilan'nain will take the children and what fun those will be. What twisted things a shemling and elf can make, let's see how twisted).

Again, missed opportunity to have Ghilan'nain control an Inquisitor with her vallasin because that boss fight could go hard and OH GOD EURYDICE BEING PUPPETED TO FIGHT HER OWN SISTER.

HER BEING POSSESSED. HER WORST FEAR. AND GHILAN'NAIN, THE GODDESS SHE WAS CONFRONT BY AS A CHILD, BEING THE ONE TO DO IT. THE ONE THING SHE LOOKED TO FOR SAFETY AND FELT CONNECTED TO AND IT'S COME TO DEStROY HER

THE POTENTIAL, I'M TELLING YA.

And Solas. Solas, man.

He sees her for the first time with the mark and catches sight of her vallaslin beneath her bangs and there's a ping in his heart, the drop in the pit of his stomach. He doesn't know her yet but he does, she has the same look about her. The same curiosity, the same thirst for knowledge, the brilliance, the capability to be so cruel and careless. Eurydice is not Ghilan'nain, Solas knows that, he knows that Eurydice has empathy where Ghilan'nain does not, it is only that Eurydice can not express it in ways people accept or understand. He knows that unlike Ghilan'nain, Eurydice experiments do not extend to hurting and mutilating other creatures; the only things at risk of her in these curiosities are demons, corpses, and herself. He knows that Eurydice does not hunger for power, she only takes what she needs to survive. Her ambitions only go so far. 

Eurydice takes what she needs from the animal she hunts and she leaves.

Ghilan'nain would linger over the corpse and lap at the pool of blood, playing with the meat and bones and flesh like children with paint and clay.

And yet, he sees what Eurydice could be if she let the power of the Inquisition change her. The way she wields power for her own interest and rarely does she extend her empathy past those she loves and deemed worthy of it. He worries that she is stepping into Ghilan'nain's footsteps, especially when he finds her studying the mark or experimenting the rifts in questionable ways, and her only saving grace is that she just wants to know more about what it can do. 

Sometimes he would say and be grateful that Eurydice lacked creativity. She has no intention of creating new things, only uncovering every nook and cranny of the world, and collecting what is hidden. He can relate to that.

He tries to guide her best but like him, she is stubborn and they clash often. Solas is an imperfect mentor and a worse attempt at a father, but Spirits he tries. He doesn't intend to treat her as a child and he curses himself when he does, for he sees her fight against him and withdraw. To tell her the truth would be worse, however; to both reveal himself and reveal that her beloved goddess was nothing more than a fairytale would have far reaching consequences. It is cowardly that he never tells her, but he tells himself it's for her benefit. Fathers are meant to protect their daughters, aren't they? At least until they're ready for the truth.

When it's over and she throws her severed arm at his feet in disgust, Solas can say he saved her from becoming her goddess.

Of course that assumes, as he has always done, that Eurydice was not capable of avoiding that fate herself. Perhaps that for the link between Ghilan'nain and her, Eurydice was enough of her own person that she would never have fallen into those same missteps; she would make her own. But that is asking both Solas and Ghilan'nain to see Eurydice--and really all modern elves--as people and not pieces on a chess board.

Still, the horror that will dawn upon Eurydice. The further destruction of her entire belief system and that the goddess she loved so much is spreading blight on her people, on her forest, on her home. Again, she'll have to rebuild. That seems like her and her people's entire lives. Rebuilding, remaking, surviving. Eurydice will outlive her goddess and if there is any justice (in my rewrite) then she will be the one to strike the killing blow right between her eyes.

dude idw jazz is so :(( imagine trying to protect your friend by killing a man and suddenly losing the trust of your coworkers and your boss and the human people you tried so hard to protect because you genuinely loved humans. you loved humans and their culture and their art so much you named yourself after a genre of their music. but because you chose one of your own over them both sides decide to abandon you

the magnus protocol episodes 4 through 7 — my live reactions not clickbait

magp 4

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IS THIS THE STATEMENT AND/OR ORIGIN OF ALFRED GRIFTER

omg i love how the literal only reason for hearing statements from the 1800s is gwen being behind on her work

ALSO I FRICKING LOVE THE MAGNUS PROTOCOL THEME

Oh my lord you know it's a good sidequel when you can already feel the itch to relisten to everything you just listened to

magp 5

Ok i do not know whether we say "a blast from the past" in America but i have heard that phrase like five times now from Brits all on the RQ magnus feed so im wondering if that's just an alexander j newall thing or !!! what (love it tho. i love it)

faith the unholy trinity referenced???? faith the unholy trinity!!!!!!?

aint no way he won the contest by coincidence LMAO

OOOH THIS IS SUCH A COOL FORMAT!!! ahh ... just how many ideas do they have for digital first-person storytelling mediums?? cuz with every new one i am fascinated

i wonder if jonny just flipped between soft speaker and robot while recording or if "[UNINTELLIGIBLE]" is a digital insert. if it's the latter i am VERY impressed although it's characteristic of jonny at this point lol

OOOooooOOoOoO personal relation is always extra spookyyy

i am also extremely impressed by the similarity in writing style. i can see it (in a good way) now that i'm looking harder, but i would never have guessed jonny didn't write all the episodes

also i just love how alex and jonny swap announcer roles sometimes (jonny as credits, alex as title/episode) for tmp

NOTE TO SELF: check out the cellar letters!!!!! omfg!!! it sounds fire!!!!

magp 6

aw that's such a sweet dedication message

URGH HAVE I MENTIONED I LOVE THE TMAGP THEME

i always wondered what the muffled falling-down-the-stairs noise at the end of the original theme was. it always put me in mind of the aesthetic of the beginning of portal 2 (and, later, the Buried coffin) idk why

I LOOOVE ALL OF THESEEEE none of them have been hard to get through at all?? which is rare for me bc i fail to pay attention to things for long unless they come in more than two forms of stimulus simultaneously (video + music, audio + fidget toy, video + candle)

AWIEE SAM AND CELIA 😭😭😭

Yes alice you do that matchmaking you are SUCH a girlboss

magp 7

OMFG CELIA DEFINITELY KNOWS SOMETHING

lmao jonny says ree instead of err ee now (for "re:"/regarding)

[ThEory time babes woooOoO]

heyyyy is this one of those other worlds that the fears got banished to. actually what happened to the dread powers? am not exactly clear on that (i hope it's on purpose). maybe the place where the dread powers exist alongside "our world" in tma is also adjacent to other worlds in exactly the same way?? like how a hexagon can be adjacent to six other hexagons??? that'd be sick and it would also explain why there wasnt an overwhelming amount of supernatural incidents in "our world" such that everyone was familiar with the dread powers and normalized safety procedures and such ... interesting au idea ... also the idea jonny proposed about a post-apocalypse world in the s5 qna... that one is cool too............ writers get on that (/j/j/j)

is tmp a separate world ??? they only said it was in the same universe as tma iirc

[wild speculation over]

RAAAAAA i LOVE the robotic voices' VAs' abilities to slowly transition into humanlike speech

cLaYtOn!!!!!? do i know that name or am i going crazy

perhaps i am yet again thinking of the worker of clay (see previous post)

LOOOLL "better than norris, whiny little toad"

OHMYGFUCKING GOD WAIT I RESCIND MY EARLIER STATEMENT!!!!!! THAT'S CANONICALLY JONATHAN SIMS' FRICKING VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

hehehe ooooh you're evil writermen. how dare you use our constant uncertainty as to which characters you're referring to induced by your earlier repetition when naming characters (really there should be a limit as to how many michaels can be in one story) so that we are still unsure, even with prior knowledge, whether sam's mysterious "john" is actually the archivist or just some other john. good lord (im obsessed)

HOLY CRAP COLIN KNOOOWSSSSSSSS THINGSSS i just adore his role as the town crazy old man

omg alex's writing is incredible
