MAG187 - ########-27 │ Checking Out

I liked Helen

well I didn't like her as a person, but she was a fun character for sure

but I understand why John had to kill her

supplemental:

maybe I'm biased (I'm definitely biased), but fears fxcking with the mind and perception are much more dangerous to me

most likely because of my neurodiversity and mental health issues

almost all communication ends in some form of gaslighting

just... people arguing with me, as if I was a child desperate to believe in fairies

it slaps me in the face every time, that most people don't believe I exist

trying to twist me into something that makes sense to them, no matter how many bones they break

@a-mag-a-day

see this lie, this golden strand of falsehood. 

[dexterkronos]

I can't be the only one who thinks S5 of TMA can best be told with "Navigating" by Twenty One Pilots, right???? Right????? Or even just have it be a Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute song???

I spoiler because omg i'm gonna go rant mode and you should have a barrier.

Obvious spoilers for MAG 160 ~ MAG 200 (The Magnus Archives).

Like just give me a moment to cook. Jmart POV, starts with reflections of Martin in the Lonely ("the haze around my face / makes me feel so alone") OR its to show Jon's thoughts post-Door Open.

"I know you see me standing still / When our fingers touch, I feel my way back home"

This the most MAG 161 & MAG 162 coded shit in history. Martin being the one to act as 'home' as they move from the cabin.

First chorus is just them going through the first set of domains, with 'give me some advice' happening during the Not!Sasha smiting. Maybe there's some flashes of the real Sasha in there, who knows.

"Don't know how long it's been / My, oh my / How things change so rapidly / I find my self-esteem / Then turn so cold"

MAG 166 ~ MAG187 pipeline.

Chorus 2 is the ways to the other domains, eventually ending in the Panopticon.

"Don't know how long it's been / Since I responded to your question / If you really wanna know what I'm thinking"

Annabelle and Hill Top scene. I take my seat.

"Kind of feels like everybody leaves / Feeling the reality that everybody leaves / My dad just lost his mom, I think that everybody leaves / And I'm trying to hold onto you / 'Cause everybody leaves"

YOU CANNOT TELL ME THIS ISN'T THE PRE-JONAH STAB CONVO IN A NUTSHELL. YOU CANNOT DELUDE ME AWAY FROM THIS IM DYING ON THIS HILL-

Second-to-last chorus is the Jonah erasure stuff lol

AND THE FINAL LENGTH OF THE SONG, IS JUST MAG 200 TEARING US TO PIECES WITH INTERLACED FLASHBACKS ENDING WITH A BLACK SCREEN TO RUIN US EMOTIONALLY.

So anyway have fun with this torture :3

[turtlemurmurs]

had this vision randomly appear to me of the distortion being two faced, one being the dead and hollowed out Michael (just for funsies) and the other being Helen :D

lost my mind while I was doodling this concept because I was listening to MAG187 and I decided to take Jon's spiel as a way to concrete my decision to use this design ahahaa

@a-mag-a-day

I would also like to murder a whole hotel one day

[thlayyli]

Sneak peeks of some rare and elusive Finished Shots from the MAG187 animation. Ive made the disappointing choice to cut the last scene completely because I realise Id never finish it in a millon years otherwise. Its so hard to keep my motivation up for long projects where I cant really see progress being made so Im finishing it as quick as I can so it wont just get thrown away.

Coming maybe next month.

MAG187 SPOILERS

HELEN OF THE DISTORTION, MY BELOVED. I WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH.

[weirdowholistened]

someone probably already noticed this but the voice of the therapist in tmagp 2 (Jenny Haufek) is also the voice of the lost guest in mag187!

idk if they’re connected somehow or it’s just showing us that people exist in this timeline doing different thing?

@a-mag-a-day

What lurks behind the smile.

[iamnmbr3]

can we appreciate that martin “knife” blackwood’s Murder Vibes are so strong that Helen was more afraid of him than she was of jon
