#magnus’ might seem like a bit of a stretch but idk i kinda see both of those as tying into his arc as the protector

[jerreeeeeee]

can we talk about how tesseralia makes tres horny boys who they are and parallels them in story and song beautifully. magnus coaching a group of kids and encouraging them and telling them they can win when all the odds seem against them vs hoisting angus on his shoulders and telling him to let the world know they won. taako’s first profound experience of the bonds formed through cooking vs developing the power to fight the embodiment of despair and apathy through cooking a meal with somebody. merle’s first meeting with his greatest enemy who’s completely ideologically opposed to his commitment to love and joy vs his last moment with his old friend john appreciating the beauty of the world together

putting this under a cut for anyone not caught up to the last 2 episodes of the magnus archives (but especially could spoil people not up to the end of season 4 even by just glancing) but i just had some thoughts about what was uttered in the background throughout

okay so like. obviously theres a lot going on here when actually reading out the official transcript of what jonah was saying in the background the episodes 192 and 193 but just to list some stuff thats sticking out to me

ok so going like. kinda backwards here in the order of whats said here but

the last half of the second to last section to the middle of the last section seem to very obviously be describing when oliver banks fully chose to become an avatar

“there is nothing he can do from here upon the threshold to a house she almost knows to be a home” makes me think this is referring to salesa’s house (edit after 196. maybe makes more sense for it to be the house on hilltop road) and the “she” here is annabelle cane

the first part i was interpreting as being about jonah in elias’s body and how in his current position where he is looking at things very big picture he’s realizing what oliver said about the inevitability of death

but also rereading while i’m not holding as much water to this interpretation because the eye can’t predict the future or anything (although i guess even with the first interpretation it sounds a bit speculative. but since jon said he thinks the eye wants him to take jonah’s place thats still a bit less of a stretch for me) i got myself freaked out that “stained with red that’s not his blood whose blood he bled but this is not from him and yet he knows he loved this blood when once it beat within a heart that joined to his through choice or circumstance” and a lot of the surrounding paragraph instead of referring to jonah in elias’s body could also actually be about jon and martin and whatever tragedy this all might end in. actually the more i read this the more i’m scared this might not be about elias realizing the flaws in his plan and the more i worry its about jon. maybe jon is paying attention to all jonah is saying and already knows how to interpret all this and still is going through with everything even if its futile

not really sure! theres a lot going on in this but at the very least it seems to be emphasizing the power of the web and the end even in a world of the eye. sure do keep looking at the line “hands that might be moved by others or that might just now be his”

some of the parts about “her” seem to be talking about annabelle’s path to becoming an avatar? and the way it flows into the part about oliver very much makes it seem like she/the web had a role in that. which isn’t surprising considering when oliver talks to jon while hes in his coma and tells him he needs to make the choice essentially whether to die or fully become an avatar he says

and then speaking of characters annabelle hangs around not sure what it means really but theres this description of what happened right after salesa secured the broken lensed camera before he faked his death, admittedly i’d normally interpret this as having something to do with the vast so maybe im leaning too much on this right now but this does remind me a bit of the descriptions of what were happening during olivers choice here. so idk. something about the web weaving all of this together for some goal

i feel like theres so much just out of my grasp with this!!!! i dont know!! i feel so close to things clicking though! which i guess makes sense since we’re so close to the end now hahah wow... regardless though both very excited and dreading to see this all play out i can feel something so terrible among all this
