Celia keeps waking up on the side of roads and on train tracks? On the way to Oxford? She’s being pulled by The Web towards Hilltop Road?

Tmagp 5 statement giver is so incredibly dumb he's like the anti Joshua Gillespie

[incoherantgaymagnusposting-old]

Joshua Gillespie would've known shit was weird as soon as the letter showed up at his door.

Joshua Gillespie would've turned around as soon as he saw the abandoned cinema with a pristine interior

Joshua Gillespie would've bolted when the same man kept on appearing staffing the whole cinema

Be Joshua Gillespie, not Tom (of toms terrors)

[cult-of-the-eye]

pov alice dyer listening to tma:

she has proclaimed to do sexual favours for Joshua Gillespie

she does not understand the hype behind Jane Prentiss but supports the bug fuckers

she DESPISES martin but in a "two sides of the same coin" way

she did proclaim to do sexual favours for Jonathan Sims until she found out he was ace, now she talks about feeding him soup and tucking him into bed

she creates entirely new swears to describe Elias e.g. shitweasel

she has learned the leitner rant off by heart

after every episode with tim after the end of season two, she has to go punch something

Magnusers who are some of your favorite side minor characters throughout the podcast

Give me people that were mentioned in a SINGLE statement, maybe two or three, that you just love

Like of course we have

Joshua Gillespie the nonchalant king

Robbin Lennox the dog lover with dinner plans

That one plumber guy who’s name I forget that was just so oblivious about being at a Stranger site

But I need MORE

Bringing back this series hi. Trying to do a proper relisten of the series, so have the first 4 episodes of TMA posters. Hopefully manages to do all the episodes of the first season 🤞

"hey, i don't work here" by tom cardy has the same energy to me as the guy from the magnus archives who just froze the obviously cursed key to make sure he couldn't be compelled to open the obviously cursed as fuck coffin.

like joshua gillespie would 100% get caught by the web at the magnus institute during the eyepocalypse and just

joshua you will be famous forever

(AU explanation under the cut)

graham folger and joshua gillespie were friends since before everything happened, so after MAG2 joshua calls graham and tells him what happened. they both try to find out information about the supernatural to figure out what exactly was going on with the coffin, and consequently end up in a few statements¹. graham starts being hunted by the not!them (and decidedly doesn't tell joshua about it), and after a while joshua ends up deciding it is Probably Not The Best Idea to be actively searching for things that want to kill them, so they drop it for a few years.

then MAG3 happens but since graham had already known that supernatural stuff was real from joshua, he tries to call him but accidently calls oliver banks (who had broken up with him a little less than a year ago, and had started seeing the dreams² at this point/working at the magic shop). oliver declines going to graham's to try and help him with the not!them, but eventually ends up going anyway later out of fear of not being able to do anything about another death.

in the meantime, graham writes the "keep watching" notebooks after realizing that amy patel's stalking keeps the not!them away. joshua finally comes over and convinces graham to talk to amy about the not!them. she agrees to keep an eye on graham more often, and graham gets some better goddamn lights in his flat³.

oliver arrives and confesses that he's also been experiencing the supernatural through his dreams, and the four of them form the "Spooky-Solvers" (name coined by oliver while joking about ghostbusters).

shenanigans ensue

notes:

1. im writing a fanfic (edit: too busy right now might pick that idea up in the future) in TMA transcript format and WILL be making fanart for it. joshua content forever

2. graham and oliver's relationship is all messed up timeline-wise, so i pushed back oliver's stuff by a few years. they broke up in 2003, and he started having his dreams early 2005.

3. lights don't break, graham lives!!!!!! :3

bonus: i draw joshua with The Lonely mist because i am a big advocate of the headcanon that the "Mr. Gillespie was the only person living in that entire building, other seven flats being utterly vacant." was because it was one of Peter Lukas' lonely apartments. forever funny to me

[lotuzmuncher]

Joshua Gillespie my only love 💕

[lover-praxis]

joshua “if i don’t see the horror it doesn’t exist!” gillespie versus tomsterrors “look at all these horrible things that are definitely not horrors!”

[annabelle--cane]

real talk I do think it says a lot that the most jon ever says about his own feelings out loud to other people is in mag 178, where he is explicitly doing it to help facilitate basira's emotional processing of accepting that she has to kill daisy. if he won't do it for his own sake, maybe the cheat code to making jon open up holding his friends hostage instead.
