WSHAT THE FUCK. IS THAT WHO I FUCKING THINK IT IS

[helpimstuckposting]

Notes about Celia

I’ve decided to put together every single suspicious thing Celia has said or done so far over the course of this season, for my own sanity.

MAGP6 - introductions

“I don’t scare so easy these days”

MAGP7 - give and take

“I mean, it’s an old system, but it could have been worse. It’s not like we’re wrestling with tape recorders and manila folders.”

“Is there any way to look up specific files? Oh, I don’t know. Every case about… being buried alive, or meat, or… whatever.”

“Do you know who voices “Chester”? Just thought I recognized it for a moment.”

MAGP8 - running on empty

“I’m trying to look into… Weird physics stuff: time travel, other dimensions, teleportation, all that good stuff.”

“I’m doing a favor for Georgie.”

MAGP11 - marked

[wakes up on the side of the road] “Oh, Christ, not again.”

MAGP13 - futures

“And before you ask, no, there’s no dad on the scene, not even sure who he is. I had a… couple of wild years after I moved here. It was a really weird time for me.”

“The cases at work. Do you think they’re real? I’m pretty sure they’re real.”

MAGP15 - well run

Lady Mowbray: “My, we are an odd one, aren’t we? A fine specimen… strong and… different…”

MAGP17 - saved copy

[wakes up on train tracks] “For gods sake! Not again!”

[after hearing a statement about a universe hopping doppelgänger] “Thanks, I guess. Not exactly the same, though, is it?”

—

Additional details: she woke up in Oxford the same location as the doppelgänger in MAGP17 (also confirmation that Celia’s probably teleporting since she definitely didn’t walk from London to Oxford), her baby is one which I’m pretty sure is also the length of time JMJ have been speaking statements out loud.

MAG156: Reflection and MAGP08: Running On Empty

i havent seen anyone talk about these two episodes; when i listened to magp8 for the first time i immediately thought of adelard dekker… i mean, the agonizingly thin figures who are violently hungry + getting transported to a pocket world that you can escape by going through portals??? sound familiar??? i swear this is connected

[magnus-archives-brainrot]

So, this is how I'm processing MAGP8 and my timeline theory. I'm not sure how this really works so far, but I'll reblog with more theories as time goes on. This is just my current theory

Image Description:

[Start ID]

A square labeled "Timelines" is at the top of a digital dark-themed lined notebook page. Coming from this box is a red line signifying The Magnus Protocol timeline. There is also a green line signifying The Magnus Archives timeline. The two lines parallel each other vertically before diverging at a point labeled "1999", which is when The Magnus Institute burnt down in The Magnus Protocol. The red line continues down at an angle with the green line mirroring it, forming a triangle. The next point on the green line is marked as "2015", which is when Gertrude Robinson dies after failing to destroy The Magnus Institute. After this, still on the green line, the last marker is labeled as "2020s", which is when the Eyepocalypse happened in The Magnus Archives in season 5. The base of the triangle formed from the red and green lines is an alternating red and green dash marks, with text above the line (in the middle of the triangle) reading "Hilltop Rd rift (MAG200)".

On The Magnus Archives side of the line, a single dashed line goes out at an angle away from the rest of the diagram labeled as "Post MAG200? May have combined with TMAGP universe?" Connected to the red and green dashed line, a single red line goes down towards the bottom of the page, signifying the current Magnus Protocol timeline.

Written on both sides of this new red line, it says, "Worlds are combined. Gerry + Gertrude are from MAGP's original timeline. Celia, Chester, + Norris from MAG universe." There is a "v" shaped line below "Chester, + Norris" labeled as "JMart". The text continues on either side of the red line reading, "Unknown if more MAG characters are present. Georgie mentioned, but not sure how she ties in. Maybe she's MAGP's Georgie, not MAG Georgie... Maybe they combined into one person?" At the bottom of the red line, a single point is marked as "2024 (Sam joins the OIAR)", signifying where The Magnus Protocol starts.

Magnus Protocol Filing System

All of you really liked my numerically-sorted list of Magnus Archives statements by their case numbers, so I’ve decided to do something similar for the Magnus Protocol, but this time sorting it by 4 6 different categories. 

As I am writing this only the first 2 episodes have come out, I will try and keep it updated the best I can (don’t be surprised if I stop updating it and suddenly start updating again months later, I’m just like that).

*A guess or current theory

[Updated through MAGP19]

[ensrensage]

My partner is listening to magp8 and listen

Listen

I just need Tim and Danny back

Give me my Stoker boys 😭

[tolrais]

MAGP8 definitely has similar vibes to the carnival through the mirrors in MAG156 right? Liminal space through a closed down piece of architecture leading to another space full of hungry people wanting to cannibalise the statement giver?

This series is gonna make me go full Pepe Silvia mode I s2g

ALSO GERRY AND GG??? SHE'S HIS GRANDMA??? 😭😭😭

Also I'm not crazy the Magnus institute in this universe seems to be a school for 'gifted' kids or something? Did Sam go there or is that just what he said to talk to Gerry? I wanna know more about that but goddammit all I get is CRUMBS

[the-lonely-crow]

Ok actual magp8 spoilers this time

What i really need to know is whether Gerry is still a goth or not? I imagine he dresses pretty much the same but with a lot of different really elaborate tattoos and actually nicely dyed hair.

Also how the fuck did he get involved with gertrude?? Did her and eric and mary all work at this version of the institute as well? Are either eric or mary still alive??? His legal last name is still keay based on the spreadsheet but did mary murder eric in this world? At what point did gertrude adopt (?) Gerry??

Also holy shit Archavist Gertrude would hate being called gee-gee. I wonder if this version hates it. Maybe she does and just loves Gerry more.

Idk still holding out hope for eric being ok

[ID: Transcript excerpts from episode 8 of The Magnus Protocol, MAG119, and MAG114. They are arranged with Alice’s dialogue on the left and Tim’s on the right, showing the parallels. The first pair of excerpts:

(MAGP8) ALICE: You sound stressed. Problems up the corporate ladder? Already feeling the strain of Deputy President of Executive Synergy?

(MAG119) TIM: [dryly] You sound stressed. You know I hear the great Grimaldi’s in town. You should go see it, cheer yourself up.

The second pair of excerpts:

(MAGP 8) ALICE: You got it, “boss.”

(MAG114) TIM: [Sigh, then faux-polite] Good to see you, Boss.

End ID.]

terrible day for people whose favorite characters are alice and tim

[iguessmyfishisgay]

was also about to tell you to please at least use a read more on your post about magp8 before i saw another anon already saying the same thing, so i’ll suggest something else.

spoilers for early access content are spoilers for content that people paid to have early access to.

by posting not even vagues but full-on spoilers, you’re telling people about content that they do not yet have access to for a reason - again, at least please use a readmore, so people who do not want to see it, who respect early access v public release, do not have to!

(if this sounds mean, that was not my intention, i simply have strong feelings on the matter LOL)

All fair points! Thank you and the other anon for the helpful constructive criticism and not yelling at me 😅
