A thing I love about Gertrude Robinson:
Though she is technically an Avatar of the Eye (per her job contract and her supernatural abilities), she is fundamentally a "pandeific" being.
We get reminded over and over and over how aligned she is with other entities.
The Web:
Annabelle Cane in MAG147, "The Weaver"
Tumblr media
Gertrude Robinson, described by Michael in MAG101, "Another Twist"
Tumblr media
Gertrude Robinson, talking to Arthur Nolan in MAG145, "Infectious Doubts"
Tumblr media
Let's continue with those two episodes--she's Desolation and Spiral as well as Web
MAG145:
Tumblr media
(not to mention that she survived binding herself to Agnes, and during that ritual her "lungs try to burn [her] alive from the inside out," and that she just overall has quite an affinity for fire and explosions)
MAG101
Tumblr media
Eric Delano confirms her willingness to lie as well in MAG154
The Dark
The common symbol of The Dark (or at least Maxwell Raynor's cult) is a closed eye; in hiding from Elias, she too takes on that aspect of the Dark
MAG054, "Still Life"
Tumblr media
The Lonely
This one, Jon says outright in MAG167, "Curiosity"
Tumblr media
The Corruption
And I think that leads to her affinity with the more "metaphysical" aspects of the Corruption. This one doesn't have as obvious evidence, but understanding that the Corruption covers toxic relationships (MAG160.02), relationships where one being is used up by another, then what else characterizes even her most positive and genuine relationship?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(MAG111 "Family Business" and MAG137 "Nemesis")
That covers 7 out of the 14. I gotta think more about the last 7, but she definitely became enmeshed in so many parts of the Fears

"Oh… oh…. oh, Archivist. What have you done now? It’s almost sad to see you like this... almost."

funniest statements from the magnus archives in no particular order: 
spiders, but they hate you personally
that one guy who was paid to keep a clearly fucked up coffin in his living room and just decided to fucking ignore the weird shit. (king)
band that is so bad at music that you die
a pile of worms stole my phone and texted my coworkers
man who admits he killed another man because he had a spooky vampire name
guy who felt the need to just dunk on this one guy for 10 minutes because he was a shitty drug mule. he also got his bones stolen. this is only mentioned at the very end.
twink with knife hands (cool)
Two random men walked in and stole my shipping company
fucked up monsters taking an anatomy class but are very polite and on time so its cool and sort of endearing. 
jon talking about how he has childhood trauma about an evil spider monster. only funny because i’m binge listening to this podcast and last week listened to him make fun of how stupid the idea of an evil spider monster is
bone stealing man shows up again and opens a gym to help people get fucking shredded. 
the plumber who shows up to the middle of a creepy monster circus in the middle of the night, looks at the pipes overflowing with blood, goes “there’s your problem” and just fucking pulls out a mass of flesh and then…leaves.
they literally just let him leave 
monsters have to invite him back to try and kill him again because he was so unfazed the first time

The last few moths were really busy and all my free brain power has been taken up by the Magnus Archives, so I don't have anything tgs related to post right now...
Micheal Shelly and Micheal the distortion are probably some of my favorite characters, even though I don't really like any of their episodes that much... idk why.

relistened to mag102 nesting instinct and even out of the tma context i think adam would like semi-jokingly call michael his ‘permanent little stomach bug’ or his ‘little earworm’ for like shits and giggles and kind-of less-so as a comment about the nature of their relationship but idk how michael would react. somewhere between wildly flattered and looking at adam (mentally) and raising an eyebrow and going ‘the only insect in this relationship is you’ which results in him sleeping on the sofa (in their head) for a week

addition from the transcript
Tumblr media Tumblr media
tag yourself I'm [MUFFLED PANIC]
damn listening to this again makes me remember just how much of a STONE COLD BITCH Gertrude Robinson was... I feel really sorry for Michael Shelly, he trusted her so much.....
Also Michael and Nikolas voices sound spooky in like opposite ways and I can't explain how...
This episode makes me want to draw so much....
what REALLY stands out to me this episode is the WRITING, here's some of my favourite quotes:
"Am I evil, Archivist? Is a thing evil when it simply obeys its own nature? When it embodies its nature? When that nature is created by those which revile it? Perhaps Gertrude believed so. Michael certainly did. He believed everything she told him"
"A thousand staring morsels stood, and not one of them believed themselves sane to look upon it. And in the centre, the door that would open to all the places that were never there, was me"
The mind does not shatter, Archivist. It is soft and malleable. It bends and twists and returns to what it was, though what you see and feel may leave their mark upon it. If Michael thought he had lost his mind, it was only because what he saw with crystal clarity was simply not something that could be real.
MICHAEL [Laughs] If you scream loud enough the Circus may take notice of me, but… I promise you will die far more pleasantly with me than with them. [MORE LAUGHTER] Ah… [RAIN CONTINUES TO FALL] ARCHIVIST [defeated] Okay
Poor archivist
HELEN TIME
The writing is so good! So many good quotes!

was just thinking about how Michael Distortion's laugh when he appears in MAG101 is particularly unhinged and said out loud to myself "well, he's not very good at being hinged, despite the fact that he's a door" and then immediately thought of this
