#he's nervous and afraid

[morganmnemonic]

I'm watching The Magnus Archives for the first time (i think im going to start tagging posts relevant to this with "tma liveblog" so I don't have to keep specifying). I just started season 2, and I've got to say I'm with Jon's paranoia on this one. Martin IS more competent than he's letting on. His soft, sweet, british voice is just so disarming that even hearing him talk about surviving the worm siege, I stilll mentally categorized him as "likely to die first". Sure he survived, but thats because Prentis let him go. If he actually got wormed, he'd probably just perish. Turns out, his initial idea for what would happen if he got wormed was performing emergency worm removal surgery on himself with a pocket knife. He sounded serious too, like he was mentally prepared to go through with it without hesitation if that's what it took. And if we look at what each of the characters did during the worm invasion,

Jon made no judgement calls that significantly impacted group survival one way or the other (+0) and got very wormed at the end (-1) for a grand total of -1 survival points.

Tim didn't notice that Prentis was in the archive and nearly got got (-1), sent Sasha ahead to get help, which resulted in the fire suppression system going off and saving himself and Jon from certain death (+2), got surrounded by worms in Jon's office (-1), and got very wormed at the end (-1), for a grand total of -1 survival points.

Sasha saved Tim from Prentis (+1), successfully got help, saving Tim and Jon from certain death (+2) and died (-1). For a total of 2 survival points.

Martin directed an injured Jon and Sasha to a safe place to hide from the worms and provided an effective tool for worm removal (+2), hid the stash of fire extinguishers that saved Tim from certain death (+1), and kept himself out of mortal peril for the entire duration of the invasion (+1). 4 survival points. He didn't even get injured. He's the only one who survived without intervention by forces beyond his control. Martin didn't play the part of first to die. No, this man was born for the roll of Final Girl.

And I don't think he's evil, and I don't think he killed Gertrude. But I do think that he's entirely capable of murder, if that's what it takes to survive. And I do think he will continue to exert his agency in the story in ways that the other characters and audience forget to expect from him. Not me, though. I learned my lesson. As entirely disarming as his demeanor is, I'm not going to underestimate him a second time.

leo leaving foolish a sign like all the others, leaving the most concrete out of all the messages, but no one comments on it. foolish, dead quiet after asking for a direct translation, as the others come in, take note of the sign, and then continue on to other topics. forever coming up, asking if this is anything new or “just another sign”. baghera and fit, the only ones asking if he’s okay, and he just brushes it off, because of course he would, it’s foolish, and it’s easy even though it’s entirely unconvincing and obviously a lie, because everyone else is talking over them anyway. etoiles not even checking in, just pulling him aside to accuse him of federation bullshit. everyone proceeding to talk about crimes in his tower, sitting right on the concrete trail. mouse in the cappy place, saying foolish doesn’t even care about leo, he doesn’t care that she’s gone, and foolish goes quiet for a full minute, until he can find some joke to latch onto and start deflecting again. I can’t take it anymore I’m at my limit.

did anyone other than foolish know the significance of the amethyst, and take note, like they did with the other eggs and their left behind items? or was it just him, alone later on, repeating always juntos to himself as he looks at the message again.

"What is this sense of (VERY AWKWARD) nostalgia eye feel...?"

"And also... what is that dark substance you have dipped your appendage in? ...It is not harmful, is it...? (What if it's toxic? How much has he ingested? Should eye get Master Zero, just in case?!) A sickened drone would not serve the cause of the hive..."

"It's chocolate!"

"...Oh..."

I just had to draw a part two! >w< (For authenticity, I drew Gooey's portrait holding the pen in my mouth.)

Vox no matter what the ppl on twitter do to you you will always be the overcompensating insecure tsundere baby I saw and fell in love with the first time I watched Hazbin.

I don’t know about you guys, but I absolutely love the idea of Bowser being the most fearsome creature in the entire galaxy to the point where he can very easily scare anyone into giving him what he wants because he is just so scary and terrifying.

And yet, when it comes to Luigi, a shy and cowardly little plumber, it is actually Bowser who is the more nervous one.

Man I am so tired of this “ha ha ha lol Thrawn is terrified of Anakin’s apprentice! Imagine meeting his children! 😈”

Guys, he met Anakin. He worked with him, he straight up told him he was unimpressed and Vader never intimidated him. There’s no reason he should be afraid of Ahsoka.

Then we DO have precedent for how he reacts to Luke and Leia in the Thrawn Trilogy. Mostly “he’s a good pilot, huh” and “how might they be useful in bringing this rogue Force user to heel? 🤔”

That’s… yeah he’s not afraid.

On one hand, I want a final fantasy 6 remake, because the game is criminally underrated and the amount of fan content (which is all absolutely fantastic btw) is Not Enough for my neurodivergent, hyperfixating brain.

On the other hand, that would inevitably encourage more people to join the fandom, which would be great, except it seems these days the bigger a fandom gets the more toxic it becomes, and I really like what we have going on over here in our little corner. We all just love the game and its characters and nobody fights about who should and shouldn't date who or who you shouldn't like because they're ~problematique~. Nobody's trying to make one ship morally better than another, nobody's calling anyone names or threatening to doxx people who don't agree with their opinions. It's so peaceful and I love that for us. We're just vibing. Moisturized. Unbothered. In our lane. Flourishing.

Love all you Foolknight content 🩵🩵

So, I was wondering... Does sir Augustine or the Jester have any unexpected weaknesses (I don't mean this in a bad way, I just couldn't find a better word for it) that they usually keep hidden? Like aracnophobia or getting seasick very easily.

Thanks!

Thank you!!

So outside of Jester's near illiteracy I don't have anything currently planned as far as it comes to weaknesses but details like that could still be added as I continue to develope their characters further. I do imagine that Jester has arachnophobia but I don't think it's particularly hidden given that he would very much scale up Augustine to get away from a spider.

I have considered giving Augustine a fear of heights or an allergy but nothing has been decided thus far.

anyway another thing i love about mpw upon the endless list of things i love about this show is that there is so very clearly a d/s vibe/relationship going on between segasaki and yoh, and its so clearly explicitly in your face there staring at you, and yet its also so subtle at the same time in the way its shown, in the dialogues used, in the way segasaki and yoh act. like it'll come out full force for a moment, and then in the next, it'll just soften away. its just done in a really really sexy tasteful way.
