wait, that elias?
#huge shoutout to @sepezzz elias design this is very much inspired by it. go look at it#im so serious if i never draw another person manspreading in a fucking office chair it’ll be TOO SOON#anyways.#the juxtaposition truly is crazy hahaaha right people change in the weirdest of ways#i like thinking about how they both present themselves. elias understands he works at Important Academic Research Facility so he still#sooort of tries to look somewhat official. but well he also gets away with what he can#he has that vibe of Yeah i work here and im kind of important but i’m chill. i know how to chill#meanwhile that other freak is just like i am going to make this body look presentable or so help me god.#he’s the Head of the Institute he can no longer have whimsy okay. and listen it’s not because i think jonah is that boring and would#dislike piercings and funny socks or whatever. i think he’d like those. but see he needs to make this believable that elias truly has#changed okay. and also like i said he is the Head of the Institute he needs to look Super Normal And Unremarkable#anyways i think it’s funny how elias’ whole thing is that he tries to distance himself from his family image and tries really hard to Not#end up like a rich asshole. and then. well.#(looks around) So i think about this man a normal amount.#i could write like 20 thinkpieces on both of them but instead they’re gonna make me do college essays about like language and shit.#myart#the magnus archives#tma#elias bouchard#oh my god it is actually un fucking believable how much i think about him every day#if this becomes a daily elias blog yall will just have to deal

Guys I can assure you British people are real.
I had an encounter with one once, and I can tell you it did not end well
They are in our homes, among our children and families
Be careful, for the true horror does not lie in the darkness of night, but within the shadows of our kin.
#I’m pissing myself i feel high rn (I’ve never been high in my life)#except for that one time i was rich enough to stay on the fourth floor of a hotel#that was pretty lit#but the service was not#british royal family#British people are real#this sums up the magnus archives#tmagp#the magnus protocol#the magnus archives#tma#i got my friend to listen to the magnus archives#she jokingly said jon is gonna start the apocalypse#we were halfway through season one

GENUINELY obsessed that we got a celia statement though like it completely brought back all those feelings i had back when i first listened to season 5 of TMA
like the tunnels era with celia and georgie and melanie and laverne and martin and jon and arun literally one of my favorite parts of season 5
i freaked OUT when i heard her statement the vibes were the same and i cried
#I MISS TMA#IT DOESN'T HIT THE SAME ANYMORE#LIKE I STILL LOVE IT AND I LISTEN TO IT ALL THE TIME#BUT IT HIT DIFFERENT THE FIRST TIME AROUND#ALSO CELIA RIPLEY I LOVE YOU AND YOUR MANIPULATIVE ASS#WOMEN WHO DO ANYTHING FOR THEIR FAMILIES IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GENRES#(allison hargreeves)#i wonder like what the fuck is gonna happen to sam#hhhh i need it back NOW#the magnus protocol#tmagp#magnus protocol#tmagp spoilers#tmagp 30

One thing they don’t tell you about fiction podcasts is that if you listen to one in a less-than-optimal mental state you will end up trauma-bonded to the characters
#this is about listening to TMA over 5 weeks while dealing with a 7-week online calc class and family drama#and bingeing 3/4 of a season of Wolf 359 while flying home today#they are my friends now#edit: this is also me with Malevolent now

the magnus archives will really have you saying shit like "ahhhh i guess the weird fire people have something of a feud or so against the mid-controlling murdering spiders" huh
#a biscuit's rambles#tma#anyway!! i am now all caught up on my notebook#70 statements summarised all mentioned names marked for easy linking and some consistent things are colour-coded!#though i'm running out of colours. theres only been two episodes with that circus so far but i have a feeling i should keep an eye on that#and weird architecture/robert smirke and assorted folk#and the lukas family#good news is when faced with free time i dont have to choose between listening to the next episode or noting down older statements anymore#because i. actually managed to do 10 fucking episodes a day. whoa#i am not normal about tma

Okay so I know that I'm 10 years too late here but I just listened to Once Upon a Time (In Space) by The Mechanisms for the first time and first of all, I'm in love, it's amazing. Second of all, as I got further and further in I was like...hang on...the narrator's voice is very familiar. Well! Turns out it's Jonathan Sims. Pretty sure literally everyone but me already knew this but I didn't, so today was a day of very fun discoveries for me.
#text post#my post#unfortunately i like this way better than TMA and wish they were still doing this instead but whatever#still cool#I enjoyed TMA but never finished. i got super close to the end and should really just finish it but. i got less and less interested over ti#i like stories where trauma brings found family together. i have a rough time with stories where trauma tears found family apart#which is what the last few seasons of TMA felt like#it's a valuable thing to explore but. i don't enjoy it#anyway the point is this album is awesome time to listen to everything The Mechanisms have done

listening to tma with my family is just a series of "yippee!"s as I keep realizing which episode we're about to hear and what's about to happen or be revealed

Sparky spiders?
I just witnessed my dad's cat waking him up from an afernoon nap, (because it's cat feeding time). Dad looked around a little bit dazed, saw me, and said (translation by me):
"I was just dreaming about a big spider. Huge one."
*gestures with hands how big - I'd say it was the size of a small cat*
"It was zooming around the room, throwing sparks. Why?"
No idea dad, you don't even listen to my podcast. 😂

when i saw 'cabin in the woods in middle of nowhere new hampshire' bad i mean it. i have a 65 year old father from northeastern mass that's the only type of vacation i ever go on (if you're wondering what it's like it's like a modern day yellow wallpaper btw) . i know my cabins in middle of nowhere new hampshire. i've been to multiple with better wifi than i currently have. that says a lot btw.
#one of my fave cabin trips was one where i was on my period and don't do tampons so i couldn't swim and there was absolutely nothing to do#there and the only place phones worked at all was in this one building which was a common area (i don't use technology without a wall#directly behind me. this post brought to you by the children of helicopter parents gang) and closed for most of the day. so all i had to do#was draw. listen to the singular episode of tma i had downloaded in preparation for the trip (yeah that's what era it was)#(it was the bonus episode live show recording bc that's what had just come out). pace back and forth from my room to the empty room across#the hall. eat the bags of cherries and saltwater taffy we'd gotten at the nearest grocery store after we checked in. and peel the possibly#lead paint off the walls (in the room across from mine bc if it were mine i might get in trouble or something idk).#i genuinely blame this trip for making my maladaptive daydreaming 50x worse than it already was. also none of the doors locked. the cabin's#main door wasn't even a door it was just an open doorframe. our cabin wasn't even just us either. or that much of a cabin. it was more of a#long building with a doorway to the outside in the middle w like 10 tiny rooms on either side of it. bc of covid they didn't pack it in lik#they normally would and instead just put me and my dad on the far end of one side and then some other family on the other and thank god the#did bc i would've lost my mind otherwise. the doors that didn't lock included the bathroom. which there were two of in the entire building#btw. my dad slept with his door open the entire time we were there. the windows were just screens with no glass. or curtains.#and my dad spent the entire time having ditched me to go swimming. most of the times i saw him were accompanied by 'are you sure you don't#wear tampons' 'we could go borrow a kayak instead' (my dad has a long history of flipping kayaks) or 'you should totally use the outdoor#shower' (he has an unexplainable obsession with outdoor showers and he really wants me to use them. for some reason). the only times i left#the two rooms i was pacing across were mealtimes where i developed a tea addiction which still plagues me to this day. attending the talks#he'd been given the free vacation in exchange for giving. he didn't just decide to go on vacation (however secluded) in the middle of covid#on his own. yes my attendance at the talks was mandatory no i don't remember what they were about it's been 4 years and i wasn't paying#attention. and the one hike around the lake i got to go on. 0/10 i loved it but wouldn't recommend it to anyone. somehow my dad has had the#audacity to suggest going back up there to the same campsite several times and is surprised that i refuse to ever do that again.#that said there was absolutely a net positive and that's that i think i owe things falling apart between me and my groomer to that trip#bc it was the longest period of time i had spent not talking to them since meeting them and i was for the most part not thinking of them an#was focusing in where our interests differed. and genuinely i think it was a turning point for talking to them feeling like a chore and#not basing my schedule entirely around theirs so like . maybe i have rose colored glasses towards this trip nowadays#romeo.txt

Look, I'm not really on the "Smirk's 14 is back bby" train just yet, but I did notice that Alice of all people has been making some strange jokes all throughout the show so far.
Yes, Alice is like a Family Guy episode, she shoots jokes at mach speed to see if anything lands, but with stuff she's been saying there's seem to be a strange overarching theme of her referencing Entities (or avatars if you prefer). We're not the only one noticing this, Sam very much did too:
TMAGP 06 Sam: Okay firstly, this place is making you really morbid. (...)
I know that she references creepy stuff all around and with Smrik's 14 basically covering each fear on earth we might lean into confirmation bias, but it might be significant in the future so it's better to consider it now than later. With that, let me compile all of Alice's morbid "jokes" so far and how they seem to relate to Fears from TMA:
The Dark
TMAGP 01 Alice: Boooo! Your pathetic addiction to vitamin D will only make you weak.
The Flesh/The Spiral
TMAGP 01 Alice: Listen to me: bones are a lie peddled by Big Milk to keep you buying. No such thing.
The Stranger
TMAGP 01 Alice: Don’t boo me! I created you, and I can destroy you!
The Spiral (specifically mention of molding a person like clay, like in The Great Twisting)
TMAGP 01 Alice: You'll see. Anyway, hurry it up, time to mold you like clay into the perfect government drone for the Office of Incident Assessment and Response.
The Spiral
TMAGP 02 Alice (sardonic): Time isn’t real.
The Spiral (specifically MAG 74: Fatigue)
TMAGP 06 Alice: Have you considered simply bypassing your mouth altogether and injecting the beans directly into your bloodstream? Sam: Great idea. Why didn’t I think of that? Alice: Not enough coffee beans in your blood.
The Dark (very blatantly)
TMAGP 06 Alice: Oh Sam. The sun is the enemy. It rules the world of light but we who dwell in darkness feel only its wrath. Get the curtains.
The Flesh
TMAGP 06 Alice: Then we draw lots and one of you gets eaten at the Christmas party.
The Flesh (again)
TMAGP 06 Alice: “Would you like tea Celia? Coffee perchance? My heart carved from my chest and arranged on a little doily? Please, Celia, cut out my tongue so I can always be there to lick your stamps for you!”
These seem... strangely consistent, whenever she goes her gallows humour bit it's either reference to hating on the sun (light), humorous "I'm baltantly gaslighting you" stuff or reference to eating/getting eaten/cannibalism. Take that as you will, these could be "easter eggs", but they might as well be clues.

i liked bingeing all 200 episodes of tma in like 3 weeks but also i like being a part of the weekly releases of tmagp bc i missed A LOT of details in tma bc i was just putting it on in the background and didn't really start ACTIVELY listening (bc plot) until s2. like i was listening to it again from the beginning while cleaning my room and i was like what do you MEAN mary and gerry were in like episode 5 of s1 like i only remember gerry from Family Business bc i was like "goth sam winchester trapped in a book" and then i joined the fandom to find they're both MASSIVELY popular characters and i was like 👁️👁️ oh dear ! i missed everything !
but with tmagp i get to sit and dissect and get to know characters with everyone so im not missing anything bc i guarantee if i waited until tmagp was finished i wouldnt even remember colin or luke until they like died or gave their own statement or something
#exposing myself here#i also didn't really care about agnes#like she kept popping up ofc and i was just like shrug#the magnus protocol#the magnus archives#tmagp#tma
