#i love this podcast

[coldbreathwarmheart]

have developed a habit of periodically saying (to myself) "oh good lord" in the voice of season 1 jonathan sims, head archivist of the magnus institute, london

[two-crows-in-a-trenchcoat]

tmagp epilogue came put today

I've been saying for weeks that Colin is either gonna be the first to die or the last man standing ig we were all right the first time

probably

I think

given gwens scream

if he's not dead from that he's endgame for sure

also gwen wanting a manual bc lena must have kept some kind of guide after getting her fired for not doing her job is so funny

girl if she wasn't doing her job properly why would she have information on how to do her job that she wasn't doing

they're all so fucked

only dungeons and daddies would recap an episode in which the eldritch monster they’ve been chasing for two seasons becomes a teenager by doing a YMCA parody of their dumb fucking cum mcnuggets joke

[triplenuggetshowdown]

List of insane dndads moments because there are so many:

- ron successfully hiding in his pants

- the entire character of scam likely and his introduction. Insane Anthony move

- trapping a man in a door and putting hologram pants on his head so that he looks like just pants from both sides (i cant read this without laughing)

- "I silence his ass with a kiss!"

- hermie revealed as a theatre kid preparing for the role of the joker

- mambo #5 is a plot point

- The fucking battle of the band's. Ron's nat 20, nick and glenn stealing the car, henry answering the scam likely call. a perfect storm.

- Pyramid explosion during the lord of chaos arc. Iconic darryl moments

- darryl going back in time WITHOUT the dms knowledge and the players editing the actual podcast episode forever. Iconic darryl moments 2

- beheading a high level vampire they were NOT SUPPOSED BE ABLE TO KILL with a fanny pack

- using the extending sword as a pole vault during the 1st grandaddies fight + using the orbs to teleport the kids (this was just rad honestly)

- the deck of many things: Glenn kills a squirrel, levels up, summons death, gets trapped in guitar

- not to mention scamlikely return and immediate alignment change into wellactually

- SIBLING FIGHT! Ashley and anthony using embarrassing fan fic as the greatest weapon. Glenn and jodie start fighting for no reason. Wait what's canon and what's not? I love this epsiode

- Ron's friend beth may played by Anthony burch

I love listening to wtnv after not listening for a while. Bcus it’s like. I know everything about this podcast. I also know nothing about this podcast. You could make up a fake character and lore for them I’d believe you bcus I’m not caught up. I could also correct you on the lore of the smallest character bcus I skip around a lot. I was 16 years old when I started listening. But I was also 24.

Idk where I was going with this but I just love this podcast and how it’s evolved over the years but at the same time has stayed relatively the same.

[cannibaldetective]

celia just wanted to stay, she wanted to stay where it was safe. it's not really safe for her to go back to the right timeline, she knows it, we know it. it doesn't necessarily make her a villain and i understand her.

Ik official merch hasn't been dropper for Sherlock &Co. but I drew Sherlock modeling an idea that I had! (Sherlock wasn't listening to what John was saying an accidentally agreed to model the new merch, John is very smug about it)

[zabala0z]

Welcome back to “new fan listens to S3 and OH MY GOD THEY NAME DROPPED THE ENTITIES” and I’m your host, Zabala0z!!! I just listened to MAG 111 if you could tell so be prepared for a long post.

MAG 107: Third Degree

Very The Desolation-core. I mean the officer literally asked “what do you love most” and the guys dad was dead a week later so duh. Sucks that Jon literally has to read out a statement or else he’ll like get sick. Bro has to read a scary story unless he wants to die 💀

ALSO JULIA MONTAUK??? TREVOR HERBERT?? Isn’t that bitch dead???? Bro had lung cancer last we heard about him wth 😭 the weirdest duo ever by the way

MAG 108: Monologue

Not much on this but Peter god damn Lukas, get out. He’s very cheerful in a way that reminds me of Michael Crew, y’know. I don’t know how old he is but he’s a sea captain so like 35-40? “Thought we had a chat. Alone” oh haha, you bastard. Anyways the statement dealing with loneliness and Peter Lukas appearing I guess was something Elias did, I mean Peter said it himself. Peter didn’t seem to like Elias a lot which makes me think, why is the Lukas family even patrons of the institute and why is Peter and Elias suddenly having these meetings?

Not much on MAG 109. Still wondering why Trevor is not dead but whatever. Bulbs breaking is a common theme with like Julia’s thing.

MAG 110 has a heavy spider theme (eughhh). Also loving the Basira, Martin, and Melanie trio.

Now finally the major one; MAG 111: Family Business

Oh my god. First off, hearing Gerard speak is giving me so much closure. Literally his first mention was in MAG 4 😭 his mom sucks. Duh. But let’s get to the main part. The entities. Jesus Christ.

There’s 14???? Jon says that’s a small amount for them being manifestations of peoples fears but that’s too much for me. But I’m so happy we get all the names for them. Because of course they are manifestations of peoples fears, that’s what gives them power. Fear has always existed as long as living things existed. I think it’s so interesting they brought in animals into it as well because maybe they aren’t as complex but they feel fear as well. And there’s billions of animals.

Gerard makes me sad. Like every mention of him, he’s like helping people or at least doing something good. I wish his life was better cause god does he deserve it.

The Lukas’s I guess are apart of The Lonely. I thought they were apart of The Vast but maybe there’s just some overlap. I think it’s interested they serve The Lonely and are patrons of the institute which serve The Eye cause if you think about, those are two different things. The Lonely deals with being alone and there being no one around. The Eye deals with there being someone, something, that’s watching constantly. I gotta know how they became patrons or I will explode damn it.

Then there’s the rituals, what the hell is the Watchers Crown 😭😭 give Jon a break. I’m gonna theorize that Jon is gonna have to deal with that and is somehow going to be the key to it because he can never have a normal life. Gertrude is interesting because yeah she’s ruthless as hell but she also stopped the world ending like a ton so I guess give and take.

I think that’s like most of my thoughts I can write on here. Which is like 1/5 of it. But god I’m so happy we have names, these are so cool. Or not cool. I might make like a post, ranking on which would be my biggest ops 💀

[mimmka]

thank you Jonathan Sims for the great nap you provided me with when i played The Magnus Archives and imidetly got knocked out 10/10 would recommend and try again

[sadpanda]

also just remembered the fact that we found out linc was born in 1912 and then it was never mentioned again

[bi-biscuit]

"It's 2422, LEO(h), everything has pockets." is my favorite way anything ever has made the specific year it canonically is canon.

[iamabigbox]

This episode was actually so serious for me I went through the stages of grief

So I finished Malevolent episode 12! And I got thoughts!

Spoilers under the little photo cause I… still can’t figure out how to make read more/keep reading links on tumblr mobile :,)

(Heheh I doodled them last night)

Jaune… John… God dammit

I had a feeling John might be The King In Yellow, but I didn’t wanna believe it! But he has humanity now. And… He doesn’t want to kill Arthur. He care him. I don’t care if it’s not canon I say homosexual activities are at play.

Arthur is really doing the Jonathan Sims speedrun any percent. (TMA S1 spoilers here!) I don’t know what’s worse: Being buried into by thousands of tiny worms or having a giant larvae (???) cling onto your stomach and suck the blood out of it! Either way: EEEEWWW

HE CARE HIM

The sounds of Arthur’s happiness and lil chuckles are giving me life

Happiness is stored in the Orthor

The implication that The King can’t fully take over Arthur’s mind not just because of John’s humanity, but because of the memory that Arthur has of his daughter… do not talk to me for 3 to 5 business days

WHAT HAPPENED TO HER, MAN?!?

Love how not listening to John about the lamp immediately screwed Arthur over. Listen to your husband more often, Arthur. Kiss his hand maybe why don’t you do that huh I’d say that’s a good apology oh my god I love them

My screams at Arthur have gone from screams of pure frustration to screams of pure frustration AND concern! Character growth!!! Good for you Arthur!

Oh yeah Kellin’s here. Hi Kellin :D

Fuck I hope I can finish writing this before I get to the bus stop

The dreamlands! WHOOHOO! But also! Oh no!

I didn’t think we’d get answers for what bound John and Arthur in the first season, but I’m not complaining!

…I’m sorry to give some of you older fans a heart attack… But in terms of homestuck classpecting I think John would be a Prince of Void. I’m so sorry.

JOHN. CARE. HIM!

So. That’s most of my thoughts. I LOOOOOVED THIS PODCAST!!! I never thought I’d be able to find anything that recreated what TMA meant to me, and while I still think that… DAMN, THIS IS CLOSE!!! And it’s its own little experience to seperate the two and make this so amazing and RAH RAH RAH I LOVE THIS I LOVE YOU MALEVOLENT HARLAN GUTHRIE I APPLAUD YOU!!!

But I do have one big thought in my head. I’m assuming the goal of season 2 will be to kill or just defeat The King In Yellow in order to keep Arthur’s body safe and escape the Dreamlands. But here’s the thing. If John is a part of The King’s soul… wouldn’t killing The King kill John as well? What if we get given the choice of killing The King or sparing him to save John, and Arthur chooses mercy? Because as much as he wants his body back, he doesn’t want to lose John??? I WOULD SCREAM!

And I swear to The King himself if I get reblogs like “You sweet Summer child” “No one tell her” “Oh you poor soul” like I did on my Faroe post I will throw kitchen appliances out of windows

That’s not a metaphor I just think breaking wooden spoons would do the least financial damage to me
