Wow... Just wow. Like what the fuck...

I am listening right now through The Magnus Archives Episode 78 onwards and what the actual... I don't know if I can sleep tonight.

It's just so creepy and so... So real? Really disconcerting. But I cannot stop listening, because it's just so good and so earie and I want to hug Jon so bad.

I want to draw some of it too. But I don't know if you can even capture this level of uneasiness on paper. It doesn't help that I am already sleep deprived. My theater of the mind is getting really strong right now.

If I don't draw much this week it will be because I fried my brain. I'm learning new words though, so that's a positive. I can assure that when I finished listening to this mad play, I will have a vulcanic explosion of creativity again. And little sleep...

Just needed to write my thoughts about that down somewhere.

Ep 78 Sanji's kindness. Sanji is the most human of the strawhats to me and that's one of the reasons I love him, he's not afraid of showing kindness, vulnerability and affection through actions.

Love the episodes where not much really happen but the bond between the characters. The desperation he felt when Nami got sick and he how immediately tried to do something to help. His affection is offered through details, when he confessed he prioritized food for Nami & Vivi, when he and Luffy went through that awful snowy weather to find a doctor, he almost died.

He is always trying to be there or trying to understand what's happening to others, as a broken lad he is always giving everything, even if that requires sacrifices.

Love this this episode says “literally can’t go faster than your health/health has to come first” and also that Nami is unequivocally the only one who can get this load of idiots anywhere XD

Udangtangtang Family. Episode 78.

It's already difficult to see Eunseong keeps getting put down by the narrative when her self-esteem is pretty much non-existent at the beginning of the drama and now she is also losing her support system in the form of her family who is now against her relationship with Seonu.

Worse, she is being forced to let go of her only remaining support system, Seonu - who saw her for who she is and had been supporting her because he knows firsthand how it feels to be in a fight against the world to pursue his dream - just because she doesn't want to drag Seonu into her misfortune in her fight against the world.

Having 2 different people - Jeongae and Hayoung - constantly attacking Eunseong is painful to watch. Now we have Yang Juri in the picture and no support system left for her.

My heart breaks for Eunseong.

may i add: ashton staying still as a rock — pun intended — all the time except when Fearne™.

they stand still to avoid flare ups in their pain, they keep their head low or eyes close because migraines give them light sensitivity, they don't stand too close to anyone because they don't trust people like that

but

they hide a pickpocket attempt behind some fidgeting

they touch their face repeatedly when they try to process her anger towards them after the shard

they move their weight from leg to leg when she's standing close (again, within pickpocketing distance)

they keep their eyes on her, gazing at her almost playfully, even in her bright colors and shiny details

just... ashton coming a little bit more to life than usual when fearne is nearby

and not being able to stand still when she's far and she doesn't like him very much. right when staying still might have helped with the pain of the shard in his body, they can't help but reach out for her

when she's in the woods because being anywhere in the castle would mean being too close, they can't find stillness all night, no matter how exhausted they are

idk i just really like parallels. i think they're neat

hc that fearne never stops moving

she's always wriggling, her fingers are tapping, her tail is wagging or her ears are twitching

it's like an itch that can't be scratched because the exandrian plane can be so still in comparison to the wild and ever flowing nature of the feywild

there are only two times when fearne calloway has gone completely and utterly still: when she was frozen in a moment, having to decide which of her two friends she would bring back; and when her crush broke into a thousand pieces in front of her eyes because of her

Ep 78 indiv

Hey chat !!!! I'm going insane.

Ever since my first listen to TMA, I've had a huge question that NEVER got answered.

Never. Not in the whole series, not Q&As or the wiki or anything. I thought I would never find answers. I thought it would be forgotten. I thought it was a small insignificant detail and I'd have to live with never knowing the truth about it.

Now with TMAGP 19, I might finally know the answer.

Maybe. Maybe maybe. But It Could Be. And now I'm losing my mind at the implications.

((For the record, I know that the stories and worldbuilding are inherently separate - hell, there are even timeline differences in the cases I'm using as evidence. But the overlap might be important, especially when it comes to the Web.))

Spoilers for both shows below!

Its branches were exquisite, and delicate, swaying slightly from small eddies in the liquid, and they shone with every spectra. I must confess that to look upon it, one was – (sigh) filled with profound wonder at its exquisite elegance. [...] Even I, steeped in worldly matters as I am, recognized The Lord’s words to Adam, and was much dismayed at the implication. Isaac then plucked the delicate fruit with ungloved hands and held it before me. [...] The creature was taking root. Strands of its mottled brown hair were extruding downwards between the floor, seeking the dark earth below. Then, too, its back began to sprout, radiant branches unfurling and thickening before me, reaching upwards towards the sunlight with a seemingly insatiable desire. [...] I tell you here, Robert, it saw me, and it knew me. (TMAGP 19 - HARD RESET)

It was an ornate wooden thing, with a snaking pattern of lines weaving their way around towards the centre. The pattern was hypnotic and shifted as I watched it, like an optical illusion. I found my eyes following the lines towards the middle of the table, where there was nothing but a small square hole. Graham noticed me staring, and told me that interesting antique furniture was one of his few true passions. Apparently he’d found the table in a second-hand shop during his student days and fallen in love with it. It had been in pretty bad shape but he’d spent a long time and a lot of money restoring it, though he’d never been able to figure out what was supposed to go in the centre. He assumed it was a separate piece and couldn’t track it down. (MAG 3 - ACROSS THE STREET)

Re: Magnus Institute Ruins. By RedCanary on Saturday April 23 2022 12:17pm. The photos from the spelunk seem properly gone, but I did find an old wooden thing with a bunch of similar symbols on. Some kinda empty box, not really sure what for, though. Gonna see if I can get the light right for a decent pic. Edit: No dice, I’m afraid. Must be something up with my phone camera. Really not helping the whole paranoia thing either. Anyone know anything about photographic distortion? Gonna see if I can borrow my dad’s SLR tomorrow. (TMAGP 1 - FIRST SHIFT)

Adelard Dekker stood in the corner. He was straight and motionless, his lips moving rapidly, though no sound came out of them. In the centre of the room, stood a table carved from dark wood and wrapped all over with a sprawling, intricate pattern. And in front of that table was the thing that had said it was my cousin. It was long and thin, the tops of it bent against the ceiling and its stick-like limbs flailed from too many joints and elbows. Wrapped around it were thick strands of what I think was spider’s web, stretching back into the table, which I now saw pulsed along its carved channels with a sickly light. The face at the top of that gangly frame was like nothing on earth. (MAG 78 - DISTANT COUSIN)

Now... Now I get it. I get it. I finally gave an answer. Or, at least, I think we'll get a concrete answer soon. But I think I get it.

I think I get where the web table comes from. I think I know what it's made of. why it glows. why it had a hole in the middle. I think I might know how the web gained control and sentience so much faster than the other fears. and, if it still manifests in the same way in the Protocol universe, how it also quickly became "the manager" of other fears, as theories suggest.

More importantly, I think I know what was up with the mysterious tree from so, so long ago.

Now I have an answer.

Why was there an apple buried in Hill Top Road?

I opened the box and sitting inside was a single green apple. It looked fresh, shiny, with a coat of condensation like it had just been picked on a cool spring morning. I picked it up. I wasn’t going to eat it, I’m not that stupid, but more than bleeding trees or phantom burning, this confused me. As I took it out of the box, though, it began to turn. The skin turned brown and bruised and started to shrivel in my hand. Then it split. And out came spiders. Dozens, hundreds of spiders erupting from this apple that was rotting right before my eyes. I shrieked and dropped it before any of them could touch my arm. The apple fell to the ground and burst in a cloud of dust. I backed away and waited until I was sure all the spiders had left before retrieving the box. I smashed it with a crowbar, and threw the remains into a skip. (MAG 8 - BURNED OUT)

And now I have an answer. Maybe.

I’m happy they’re finally having a conversation of what’s going on with everyone.

It’s sucks that Liam isn’t there cause he’d be breaking our hearts and looking for/helping fearne

Many feelings about Ashton shattering and breaking into pieces and dying for a second time but having friends by his side this time, not abandoning him, keeping him alive. Saving them, staying with them until the end, whatever that end may be. All of the Bells there, close, but most of all FCG who was with them the longest, who Ashton called out for trying to be a martyr so many times, now saving Ashton from exactly that fate and Fearne who he trusts most, feels understood by, who he has just given that kiss back to. Fearne trusting him as well, keeping him up when he can't do it himself anymore, taking damage time after time to heal him, not letting him go. And the one time they do slip up and die they are saved by Dianna's ring, a gesture of love given to Chet by someone who Ashton felt an instant connection with. It's love that makes people. It's love that saves them.
