MAG136 - #0120112 │ The Puppeteer

Melanie gets a gold star for going to therapy! ⭐

oooh, there's a story behind the Fx artist?

I mean it seems Neil died happy, so... good for him?

Daisy just locked herself in, lmao

ffs, is the therapist gonna be a problem?

[notesofarichlycolorednight]

so in mag136, the statement giver comments that legorio didn't have parkinson's disease, and i understand that it's supposed to add to the spookieness, him not being able to move of his own will, spider fear mother puppets i get it

BUT fun fact! you can actually develop parkinson's diease without dementia. bc we call that parkinson's disease dementia. parkinson's is a loss of dopamine in the brain, and dementia only comes about if the proteins killing your dopamine receptiors move to other areas of your brain. but they don't always do that. (it's more complicated than that ofc, but so is everything we know about science)

so spookiness aside, legorio may well have developed parkinson's disease without the dementia

My lecturer talking about the use of exosuits as assistive devices:

And though they're still being developed, we're exploring different ways they could be used to help people in day to day lives! It's possible we may even get to the point of controlling them through smart phones or devices so users can control their aids more easily :)

Me, having just relistened to MAG136 The Puppeteer:

[suncrayon]

[princess-of-purple-prose]

My brain, immediately: Just like Jonathan Sims did in episode 136 of the magnus archives upon being asked to go to drinks with his best frie-

[dykehozier]

AJDKABDJAJ I LOVE DAISY SM????

[kahtiihma]

I really appreciate this transcript I’ve been utilizing 

[soveryanon]

Small Melanie&Tim things:

- Holder of “fuck”

(MAG065) ARCHIVIST: Well, excuse me if my experiences of th– TIM: Your experiences? Fuck you! I got eaten by worms because of you!

(MAG131) ARCHIVIST: Oh, I… Melanie, I–I’m so sorry, I– MELANIE: Oooh, fuck off?!

- Holder of “asshole”

(MAG117) MELANIE: Elias thinks he’s got this ingenious way to hurt people, but it’s just the same old bullshit in a creepy new package. … Asshole…

(MAG119) ARCHIVIST: Tim!! [STATIC:] What do you see? TIM: I see my asshole boss! W– wait… wait…

- Asbestos.

(MAG028) MELANIE: Anyway. We’d been angling to go into the CMH for months, er, but I couldn’t get permission. Apparently there’s asbestos in the walls? It makes it, uh, “too much of a health and safety hazard”.

(MAG090) ELIAS: [SIGH] Tim… This place is very old. It has all sorts of… idiosyncrasies, and not all of them are good for the people who work here. TIM: I think I’d prefer asbestos.

- That-bi-crush-on-the-Real-Sasha

(MAG076) MELANIE: Where’s Sasha, by the way? I wanted to say goodbye. […] I haven’t seen her in a while. Oh. You didn’t fire her, did you? […] Tall, long hair, glasses… She was here when I first came in. Back last April? We had a long conversation about haunted pubs.

(MAG114) TIM: I knew Sasha for years, we… I don’t know Martin as well as I knew her.

- Not tolerating tape recorders anymore

(MAG098) MARTIN: […] Have you seen [Jon] since…? TIM: [GRUNT] Kind of. We tried to talk, but he, he reached for that– Ah, he, he wanted to turn on his recorder. I freaked out a bit, and I said some stuff: if he wanted to talk, no tapes, I just, I just hate that thing.

(MAG136) THERAPIST: Right, have a seat. Do you mind if I record our sessions? MELANIE: I do mind. Yes. THERAPIST: Ah? I mean, it’s just for my own notes. MELANIE: I categorically and completely do not give consent for you to make any recording of me, ever. Turn it off. Please.

- … Apparently talking with each other behind tape recorders’ back

(MAG106) ELIAS: You already have doubts, though. You’ve been talking with Tim, and have convinced yourself that– MELANIE: [DRY LAUGHTER] ELIAS: –even if I’m telling the truth, I’m too dangerous to live. MELANIE: Well.

- Conscious decision to avoid or stop doing Archival Assistant work altogether because The Eye/the place/this work is evil

(MAG098) TIM: Still doing those? MARTIN: … Yeah. Yeah… I did ask Elias if I could stop. TIM: And he said “no” for a mysterious reason? MARTIN: I don’t know? I mean, he kind of explained – I think? Jon’s “too inconsistent” at the moment. He needs to make up for the shortfall, which, I guess, means me. … Unless you… TIM: No. MARTIN: He did suggest I try to get you involved, and– TIM: And I suggest that he not be a scary, magic psychopath. … Whoops! Too late. MARTIN: … Yeah. TIM: [SIGH] … Sorry. MARTIN: No, I– I get it. Heh. They’re not exactly much fun. TIM: Look, it’s not that. I… [SIGH] This place is evil, Martin. And I think doing what It wants? Probably makes us evil. And It wants those things to be read. I mean, I’m not gonna stop you, but, at the same time– MARTIN: I– I get it.

(MAG150) MELANIE: Look. I’m not going to do my job anymore. ARCHIVIST: … I am not sure I follow, you–you know we… we can’t… quit, we’ve all tried. MELANIE: I didn’t say I was going to quit. I said: I’m not going to do my job. No researching; no filing; no… field trips. Nothing that is going to help the Institute in any way. […] ARCHIVIST: Why? MELANIE: Because this place is evil, Jon. And so… doing this job… ARCHIVIST: [LOUD EXHALE] MELANIE: Helping it out… even in small ways, i–is in some way… evil too! Every time we try to use it to do good, it just seems to make everything worse, and… and I will not be a part of that anymore.

- … and sickness due the aforementioned (experienced/planned ;;)

(MAG090) TIM: I hopped a flight to Malaysia. Found myself a hotel. ELIAS: I see. … You were trying to leave us? TIM: Yeah…! ELIAS: But you’ve returned. TIM: I… I got sick. The longer I was gone… I felt weak, like… like I was, I was losing myself…

(MAG150) MELANIE: I’ll still be around, I just… I can’t be a part of this anymore. If, if I get sick, I get sick. And, and if I die…

[down-therabbithole]

Sorry did they just drop that Daisy and Basira are together?

[thranduilsgems]

Jon not being able to stop recording the web's statement and having to have Martin literally slap him out of it reminded me of the statement giver in mag136 The Puppeteer-

"She sent me to his screening room. She told me I was to watch his original cuts. “Just until we’re all done here,” she said.

...I don’t know how long I was watching those films. I don’t - It was hard to keep track of time. According to my daughter, I was missing for five months."

She also said specifically that Annabelle let her out, which makes me wonder if she would have let Jon sit there forever or if she'd intervene for whatever reason

[fma03envy]

Seeing red thinking about Daisy's "If she doesn’t, I’ll rip her throat out" bit in mag136. Why would you make a joke like this to someone who you once tried to slit the throat of. Why on earth would you think Jon would find this funny
