#the magnus archives episode 010

The fact that Julia Montauk's and Trevor Herbert's statements are each one right after the other is such a cute detail <3

okay, miscellaneous things from tmagp 010:

[ERROR] is very likely a new character, and specifically this person from the magnus protocol casting call:

Mysterious and hostile, speaks with a raspy but ethereal quality. Whoever [REDACTED] once was is long dead. Literally. Created from someone on the point of death in the hopes of gaining supernatural powers, [REDACTED] was initially dormant, so much so that it was overlooked and left trapped and forgotten for twenty years. Now it has been released and is building an identity for itself at the expense of its victims.

this role has no attributes specified (the way most have "female," "british accent" etc.) other than 18+. it's supposed to be raspy and mysterious

"but jules," you say, "what about the cast list that had jonathan sims, alexander j newall, and tim fearon as [ERROR]s?" yeah i don't know what's up with that either. maybe an amalgamation of them? maybe an amalgamation of more archivists from different times or universes?

but in any case, i suspect that personality-wise this is going to be an entirely new character and i for one am Excited.

oh nigel :( as goose from the SR server pointed out, he got a mention on the bonzoland ARG site! wonder what happened there...

(October 31st 1998) – Mr Bonzo’s Special Spooktacular will no longer feature Nigel Dickerson.

worm tracks. hmm. tim found an arch made of worms in the tunnels back in season 1 of the magnus archives and said that the stone inside the doorway had gone weirdly wavy, which i always took to be a failed attempt at a corruption ritual. hmmmm.

it is definitely very weird that alice and sam found mulch in the filing cabinets when red canary has this to say back in Episode One:

Big surprise was no old papers. I mean, they’d be mulch by now, obviously, but all the old filing cabinets were still rusting in place, and there was clearly what used to be a massive library or archive or something in the first basement layer. Was really expecting a bunch of paper pulp, but there wasn’t really any. Maybe that’s why it was listed as “cleared”?

also weird that neither of them flagged this as weird in the first place.

bonzo is delightful, obviously. i was wondering if there's a parallel between "jon" emailing sam with a "name and address" and gwen giving mr bonzo a name and address in her envelope…

Round 1 Match 7

010 Vampire Killer vs. 034 Anatomy Class

Propaganda under the cut!

010 Vampire Killer

The opening of the statement is just so funny. It’s literally just like “hi I’m Trevor, I’m homeless, I’m chill with that. I’m actually kinda well known cause I’ve got this fun trick of guessing people’s ages, isn’t that fun? I’ve also dedicated my life to slaying vampires. I did murder a guy that one time, feel free to call that cops on me, I don’t mind, I’m about to die of lung cancer anyways.” Iconic. Love you Trevor, shame what the Hunt turned you into.

034 Anatomy Class

The delivery. The teacher going crazy because students asking questions.
