Magnus Archives Relisten 17, MAG 17 The Boneturner's Tale
Honestly, if my high school bully got their hands on a Leitner I think basically the same thing would happen.
MAG 17 analysis, spoilers ahead.
Facts: Statement of Sebastian Adekoya regarding a new acquisition at Chiswick Library.
Statement Notes: "Books are amazing, aren't they?"
The first line of this statement is so hopeful. Sebastian approaches what happened to him with this strange light pouring out of him. He takes on the world with a realistic yet deeply optimistic outlook. His character feels out of place in the Magnus Archives world because, although he's afraid, he isn't sick or sad or angry or desperate. Despite the horror he finds himself facing, there isn't any actual disruption to his routine, meaning he doesn't have to change in the face of danger. Adekoya is a static character in a dynamic setting.
As a book lover, Adekoya uses a lot of flowery language in his statement. He spends the first minute giving a speech on the beauty and power of language and the written word. He serves as an incredible contrast to Jared. They don't necessarily have conflicting beliefs, but conflicting focuses. Adekoya deals in the beautiful and abstract, Hopworth deals in the messy and real. Language is art, humans are meat.
Since Sebastian and Jared are around the same age, and Adekoya just graduated college, we can assume Jared is about 22-23 during the events of this statement. His characterization was very realistic. People often joke about hearing the bully of their secondary school getting arrested, but it's very different when you realize the violent but ultimately harmless kid you knew has become a violent and harmful adult. Often, that violent energy is turned against family members first. Those who tried to help, those who enabled, those who don't deserve it.
The end of the statement was very frightening. The violence enacted against Adekoya is a show of power by Jared and, in turn, The Boneturner's Tale. The Magnus Archives is an eldritch horror story, and The Bonetruner's Tale holds power no human can possibly understand. It is capable of enacting violence no human can understand. Its power is so great, we are left to assume a car killed Sebastian, because no living thing could do that much damage. Right?
In addition to Mike Crew's strange strategy of dropping the Leitner off in a random library, he chose to file it as Trainspotting of all things. This means that not only did Crew check out Trainspotting from the library, but he now owns the copy. Does this matter at all to the plot or metaplot of TMA? No. Does it matter to my heart? Yes.
Entity Alignment: Another strong Flesh episode. When Hopworth's mother is described as missing bones in her arm, I began to wonder if Boneturner was how Hopworth first began harvesting for the meat pit. Early on, he likely had no knowledge of the ritual. But since Boneturner is what allowed him to steal the flesh of others, it would make sense that he would utilize it to feed and serve the entity.
If not, and Jared only used Boneturner to steal for and add to himself as his powers developed, there is something to be said about the Flesh's affiliation with greed. Humans eat meat partly out of necessity; it's accessible, it's filling, it's fuel. But the excess of meat consumption, the ever-increasing animal slaughter across the world at the expense of our own health and environment? Is that because we're hungry, or because we just want more?
I also noted how Sebastian didn't seem attracted to Boneturner at all. There's a motif with Leitners regarding them "calling out" to people and drawing innocents into their dark ways. But clearly, it's not indiscriminate. The isn't an apple of discord or ring of power situation; Leitners are capable of choosing who they want to attach themselves to. While I don't know much about the Canterbury Tales (feel free to educate me in the notes), it does seem that as the book makes Hopworth stronger, he makes it stronger by feeding its written desire for blood and violence.
Character Notes: Who speaks to their boss like that. Who. I get Elias needs him but is it not suspicious to everyone else when his employee can just say stuff like that? "Fine, fine, I'll be more lovely?" You sarcastic bastard?
This is a...weird intro to Elias to say the least. While of course Jon is being rude and they're passively sniping at each other, Elias does seem calm. He seems responsible and put together. He's not antagonistic in any way. If anything, Jon is the aggressor in the conversation. Up to this point, Jon has been the listener's only lens to view this world through. So when we are presented with a new character to compare him to, and Jon is snippy and rude, we are essentially forced into seeing this character as calm and rational. There was no way for the audience to ever perceive Elias as the villain. Which is exactly what he wanted.
Jon also states the Institute's goal is to "record and study, not interfere or contain." This makes sense for an academic institution (you wouldn't expect a forensic research lab to arrest criminals and keep them on-site), but it becomes interesting in the context of The Magnus Protocol. The Office of Incident Assessment and Response explicitly intends to respond to the supernatural even though it's still questionable how/if they do. Jon's initial goal isn't to take action against the entities, but he is more or less forced to. As of now in TMAGP, Sam wants to be involved in the supernatural, but is forced into a state of inaction.
Also Elias calls him "Jonathan." That doesn't mean anything but god to be a fly on that wall.
There's also the strange implication in this conversation that Rosie is in charge of the recording equipment. If this is true, it clearly doesn't last as Jon slowly becomes lord of the tape recorders. But still, the only reason I can think of for Elias giving his assistant access to the tapes is to indulge her "nosy Rosie" habits. She seems to only have access to the digital recordings, so none of the "real" stuff. But she can still listen to other people's private thoughts and experiences. Elias wants her to look into other people's business so he can keep her on in the world to come.
The first indicator of Martin's absence. "Stomach problems." There is the continued question of Prentiss' lucidity. In her statement regarding the wasp's nest, she seems to be losing her grip on reality. Several statement givers describe her and other infected as mindless monsters. But, she clearly was conscious enough to concoct an elaborate story of Martin's illness and maintain text communications with the archival staff. She would also need to be lucid if she was consciously conducting the corruption ritual, but it's equally possible the ritual was driven by animalistic and unnameable drives given to her by the entity. The Corruption needs Prentiss mindless enough to serve as a source of nameless protruding rot, but still sentient enough to A) not be captured and B) fulfill its worldly tasks. This is another instance of TMA dream logic: Prentiss is lucid enough to lie and form plans, but too far gone to be reasoned with.

Rosie has questioned her sexuality so many times.
when she was younger like in high school or smth (or whatever the British call it) she always thought that women were just. Unnecessarily beautiful. She always thought it was some type of jealousy, and not just. Her being sapphic.
her first and only boyfriend she married right after Highschool, since she was already so close to him and loved him, and he was her best friend and who doesn’t want to marry their best friend??
when she got out of college and took the job at the institute, she kept getting pressured by her family to have kids. She talked about it with her husband who was slightly questioning as well (but didn’t say anything), and he imediently got defensive.
after the paranoia hit and the eventual divorce, Rosie would occasionally try to date again, but she just couldn’t feel a real connection with any of the men she went out with.
eventually, she came across a few different queeer labels, including Sapphic, but she didn’t feel like she could since she’ en ever went out with a woman, and isn’t even sure if she wants to go out with a woman.
post-s3 she finally has a breather to look into things a bit more. Things aren’t as crazy or hectic (minus flesh incident) anymore and she goes out with a woman. She feels like they could be good friends, and would necessarily mind a romantic relationship either, but she still harbors some relationship trauma from her last one.
post canon flash forward, Rosie has a garden, about four different pride flags in her home (lesbian, aro, demi, to be specific, as well as the progressive pride flag), a parakeet, and is married to her lovely wife who is fully supportive of her weird attraction levels, and has her dream job with a company that is not full of fear entities.
the end.
execpt she occasionally still questions her labels.
(I have so many thoughts about Rosie)
"or whatever the british call it" AMERICANS DNI /silly
thats so real tho!!! after the apocalypse, she DESERVES to live in a lovely cottage up north, away from everyone else, with her wife and bird and perhaps a fish or two.
post apocalypse, she does not care about the institute. or georgie, melanie and basira. she wants to see her partner and propose and leave for good and be happy together, far away from the fears (or as far as they can get).
i can imagine her finding it quite difficult to differentiate between romantic and platonic attraction, so any of her relationships prior to her wife (who I'd imagine, for sillies, is the first person she knew for sure she was romantically attracted to) were just "oh theyre really nice! theyre my best friend!"

any thoughts on the receptionist from the institute, Rosie? Because I’m lowkey fascinated by her and sad no one talks about her.
(also is rosie x sasha a ship? idk ages but it seems viable)
i love rosie. i love that they kept her in s5, and that they kept her role as the receptionist in s5. it's honestly kind of comical imagining this poor woman scheduling meetings for what is essentially a biblically inaccurate angel, because, well, that's still her boss, technically.
also rosie x sasha could absolutely be something, i'd love to see content about those two!

Now there is Hannah that works in the library or storage (i can’t exactly remember) inside The Magnus Institution.
Perfect.
Now I can just imagine Rosie and Hannah going out for a date and gossiping about Jon and the others.
