What if I started writing scottish safehouse fanfics themed around things in my daily life… like a weird sort of diary with Jon and Martin as the main characters… haha jk.. unless..?

you guys ever see the primary/most popular ship for a character and go “oh i guess i like that. those characters do go well together” and then after a while you get exposed to a different ship for that character and its so insanely more appealing (to you) that it changes your thoughts on the series as a whole

in a moment of pure autism, if Shipwrecked 64 were a statement in TMA it would be Eye aligned because its about enticing people with knowledge in order to reveal secrets

hold on. hold on. martin shaking as he goes through his interview, waiting for the moment that elias picks up on something he says that’s just slightly wrong and calls him out for lying on his CV. martin walking out of the interview with no hope of getting the job, going home, and continuing to fill out applications. martin getting the call that he got the job a few days later, and his heart sinking because he doesn’t know how he’s going to keep lying. martin getting dressed for his first day in the archive, looking at himself in the mirror before he leaves, asking himself, what is he doing, he doesn’t know anything about this work, he’s going to look like an idiot, everyone is going to know. martin resolving to just do his best, because fuck it, that’s all he can do, and then he fucks it up on the first day, he lets a dog into the archive, he’s threatened by his boss, he thinks he’s going to get fired. martin falling asleep crying that night, the weight of his crushing imposter syndrome suffocating him, and he’s not even able to reassure himself that he’s perfectly qualified because he’s not, he’s never been in academia before, and he lied his way into the archive. martin realizing that he’s going to feel like this every day for the foreseeable future, there’s no way out, because he is not going to push his luck trying to find another job, it’s a miracle he got this one, even if no one takes him seriously, and his boss hates him, and every time he turns his back he feels someone looking at him with pity. martin going out with tim and sasha, trying to convince himself that they really are this friendly, and they want him to be there, but he can’t shake the feeling that they just feel bad for him, because they read his shitty reports, and they hear jon yelling at him every day. martin realizing that he is on his own every day, because the only way to quit fucking up is to keep his head down and play nice.

I think I need to lay down.

The curse of loving a character that other fandoms draw better than the character's actual fandom 😭

Horror Podcast Rec - The White Vault

Caught up on the latest episode today, and if you haven't listened to this series yet, I highly recommend it. Especially for Magnus Archives/Protocol fans if you need something to tide you over between eps. The premise of the first season is that a team is sent out to investigate a signal at a remote Arctic outpost... only to get immediately snowed in by a sudden and unexpected storm. While exploring the outpost, they find a network of underground tunnels that turn out to be much, much older and full of more horrors than anyone could have expected. It's brilliantly acted with a cast from all over the world despite being put together by a very small team. S1 and S2 are relatively self-contained and focused on the events at Svalbard, but later seasons and bonus seasons take us all over the world, as we find out the Svalbard outpost was not an isolated incident.

Every "flaw" in the magnus archives is actually a really clever plot device. Just incase you didn't know.
