Jon: my coworkers are acting weird and are avoiding me. I have done nothing to deserve this and this clearly means they are conspiring against me

Jon: Spies on his coworkers, is clearly becoming deeply paranoid, goes looking through people’s things and trash, is getting more and more aggravated as time goes on

Jon: I just don’t know why they’d be acting so strange around me unless they were hiding something

mag 153 - okay yeah this episode is unsettling but Johnny pronouncing "agape" as "ahga-pe" really threw me off for the rest of it 😭 (I've only heard it as "ah-gahp-eh"). there's another pronunciation that always gets me that throws me off and for the life of me I can't remember it but I know it starts with a D and it throws me off every time because it's straight up a different word for Brits than Americans.

mag 155 - okay yeah I understand why this story is here in relation to the overarching story, but I nearly couldn't get through it, not because the idea of the narrator killing people, but because they were so uppity about it, self-centered people like that are infuriating to me

okay most of the body horror stuff has been manageable, but I DO NOT do eye stuff, and as someone who does bookbinding for fun, Melanie describing the sewing awl gave me a physical, visceral reaction

also I'm gonna miss Melanie on the team :(( I've really gotta stop picking favorites they're always the ones that leave

mag 158 - SO MUCH HAPPENING BUT YO DAISY BEAST MODE (LITERALLY)

I did genuinely forget about NotThem being in the tunnels, sending them on the hunters was unexpected but ig a fun way to tie the storylines together

I kind of had the Elias/Jonah thing spoiled already but really??? they've just had his like corpse in the tunnels?? I guess??

also ik Johnny and Alex have talked about their limited use of swears, and I feel like they've been used well lol

mag 159 -

Jon @ Peter:

[hemi-demi]

Alex in the opening of the first TMA fluff episode:

"Hey, we know times are tough. Here's a little break from the terrible reality with some soft content, so you can take a breath and just relax a while."

Alex in the opening of the first TMAGP fluff episode:

"Hewwo, you sick degenerate fucks. This is a callout post. I've seen your fluffy sins, and I'm gonna make damn sure you feel shame about them. Here's some tea uwu. Enjoy listening to your new scrungly blorbos have a brief moment of levity just to make their inevitable torment that much more painful for you. Yum!"

[egg-noodle]

Mark him up, lads!

[bardic-irritation]

losing my mind what do you mean martin is canonically Down Bad for jon? and jon is canonically ace? these were casually confirmed in the span of like 30 seconds? i thought those were just the typical in-denial fanbase headcanons, they're REAL?!?

[cabinette]

Tim and Sasha because i miss them.... and also a siiiingle jmart doodle. as a treat for you guys

[potato-lord-but-not]

quit my job last week and thus gathered up all my work doodles !! thought it’d be fun to share a year’s worth of sillies :)

[primewritessmut]

the fact that jonathan sims was kidnapped by russian circus mannequins for an entire month and his only reaction was “my skin has never been more moisturized” is insane

this man is not beset by horrors, he is inviting them in

[theglowingeyeballz]

I miss listening to this funny man for the first time

[samwise1548]

You know how the fandom collectively just assumes Martin finds Jon physically attractive, and that that's why he has a crush on him in the first few seasons? I'm wondering now if Jonny (writer) had a different idea for why he believes Martin would have had a crush on Jon early on. Like, it could be the "secretly-soft algeations" that some tma fic writers tend to fall back on. Or it could be something completely different. I just really wanna knowwww!!!!!!!!!

[ziploc849]

Still listening to Magnus archives the first time and. Do I need to make a list of all the people mentioned????? The same damn people keep getting brought up and I’m only 19 episodes in like I feel like I should be making a flow chart

[deadlykitten-404]

mag 162 - well that was,,,, the most unsettling episode yet

mag 165 - this episode is so Alice in wonderland I actually really liked it haha

HE DID IT HE SAID IT HE SAID THE THINGGG

Jon's friendship with Sasha and his eternal willingness to protect her is one of my favorite plot points, it's the main reason I'm still upset that she died first

mag 166 - it's so funny how martin is just riffing off of the pained screams of the victims in the buried because he's bored 😭😂😂

mag 170 - oh,,, this was def the hardest so far. as someone with memory issues and unstable friendships this hit hard, I almost couldn't sit through it

mag 171 - it's fascinating to me that Jared is one of the most genuine characters, seeing how much he's changed himself

[golyadkin]

professional courtesy? don't know her

[probably-undead-void-creature]

Tfw your name is Martin/Martyn and you're at the mercy of an all-seeing god-like being that really likes eye imagery.

[evichuart]

this podcast has had me in a chokehold since the end of october and i could not be happier about it

[snake-spire]

Here are the two most embarrassing things a person can do:

1. Look up the voice actors for Malevolent.

2. Look up the voice actors for Slay the Princess because that voices guy sounds awfully similar that guy from The Magnus Archives, the podcast you just finished relistening to.

I was that guy.
