IT’S DONE!!!!!

Finally finished the Archivist cardigan, ton of shit happened that delayed the making of it (I’ll talk about it when I’m ready) but it’s finally done!!!!

Piccies!!! (+Lotte/Op reveal ig)

One of the minor details that no one's really going to notice but do give it away as a TMA cardigan are the pockets. I used some eye-conography in them and gave them a raised relief

It's not entirely visible but it is tactile

Also bonus pic of me using Arthur Lester as a pin cushion (because that's all he is atp)

[vastly-fixated-devotee-667]

just some hugs because they make me feel better :) 🫂

this is all of them up through s2e2 i believe but if i missed any PLEASE let me know and i will add them to the collection!!! working on s2e3–e5 now 💕💕

EDIT: here’s all three sheets!

IF YOU SEE THIS POST AND YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES AND/OR SIGNALIS THEN GO PLAY SIGNALIS AND LISTEN TO THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES. SIGNALIS AND TMA HAVE LITERALLY CHANGED MY LIFE YOU NEED TO EXPERIENCE THEM.

thinking about the magnus archives and signalis and how similar i feel like their vibes are. heavy lovecraft inspiration. robot x human doomed yuri versus god x human doomed yaoi. horror media that's secretly about the all consuming power of love (and also it's gay). eye motifs. a lot of books for some reason. analog audio recordings. fighting the entire world to save someone who can't be saved. rebirth as simultaneously creation and destruction.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that lesbians are ranged (gun) and gay men are melee (axe, pipe)

[sungrave]

I would like to kindly point out that Mr. bonzo's bachelor party victims were laughing only until they realized he was indeed not a mascot. They laughed yes because they genuinely thought it was a gag, and when they finally realized it's killing them they stopped laughing and started screaming and fear it.

Because it seems we are at war right now (im just joking obviously it's not a war but i found there is two distinct sides for and against sam) about Sam's reaction to Gwen's story. Meanwhile it can totally be a reasonable reaction when someone says your childhood mascot is out there eating people you start laughing hysterically because it is such an obvious prank. Or you start laughing abruptly because something compelled you to, something that hides the fears while they work in the background so people wont catch on it and try to bring down the organization. (mr. bonzo had to get there somehow after all and regardless of how ppl dont care im sure it would have made some good conspiracy theory why there is this crazy creepy and lifelike mascot taking the tram through town unless someone drove him)

But also just the way Sam was trying to prove so hard there is/are some thing/s out there beyond the natural, and when the chance comes he dismisses it without even hearing out completely or trying to get to the bottom of it only to immediately turn around and tell someone else hey you should look into this paranormal thing it might be important. Because trust me, when you are really REALLY trying to prove/believe in something, even the most ridiculous idea grabs you, sometimes especially the most ridiculous ones (when the human brain can't process the supernatural properly it tries to downplay it to something they can grasp like how we have fairy illustrations that originate from bugs - like the iconic sunset dragonfly photos that genuinely look like a fairies)

And i think both sides are valid on their own!

My thoughts up to know are still: Sam is sus something is definitely wrong with him, i am still side eyeing him for his reaction because it was really bad but that proves the point even more that something is not right! And i mean paranormally unright not like "Sam is an asshole for no reason" not right. Also yes there is definitely something if not "protecting" the horrors in the normal sense but something hiding them until the instinct (or fear)takes over ppl to realize what's really going on.

We're covering self-defense in my criminal law class and I will soon have a legal analysis of Magnus v. Nathan coming up

[icarusdiesatdawn]

I'm so glad I put spotify notifications on for when a new tmagp episode drops because I literally never know what day of the week it is

[haemosexuality]

wwait i never posted this. my wife <3

[moreroads]

Sometimes I think about the fact that I was actively keeping up with The Magnus Archives fandom and analysis starting right before season 4, without listening to the episodes or reading any of the transcripts until WELL into season 5.

And THEN I started reading the transcripts at season 1.

And its a good story! It holds up under its own weight!

I was still surprised by Jane actually showing up.

I was STILL invested and rooting for them to stop the apocalypse.

I liked it so much.

Adding to my Transformers ramblings is now figure talk!! :D Mwahaha!

Can't deny that I'm a sucker for blind boxes, but I usually just assist friends in guessing them haha. Though when I saw these last year on my Rodimus model kit hunt I was very intrigued! At the time I couldn't figure out where to get them and only saw one set, which had a lot of cool bots, Jazz and Prowl specifically were who I wanted since I didn't have a figure of either at the time.

Time passed and I saw they had two new sets with a Soundwave and Shockwave as well as Magnus and Tarn which made me cave 😂 lol luckily I found out they have a US website now? and just released TF ONE boxes too so had to get one those too... as for my pulls...

I was so shocked 😱 like... how!? I also pulled who I wanted from the 1! TF ONE box I got! I'm scared man lol 💀

Super curious to see who the next set has!! Hoping for the Combaticons and Overlord on the Decepticon side 🤞 as for autobots... Hound, Powerglide, Tracks and Blaster for G1 or anything Brainstorm and Chromedome would make me explode lol OMG AND FORTMAX PLSSS 😭🙏

Anyway that's all! If you collect TF figures they are great! Also on the cheaper side and a fun craft :>

Where I got mine! ⤵️

[copperbadge]

A horror trope that I very much enjoy is the "haunted book" -- a book that affects the reader in some way, like the Necronomicon driving people mad, or Dr. Mabuse's book that hypnotizes its reader into doing his bidding. It recently had a nice moment in the Magnus Archives, with the Leitner subplot, and there's even a hint of it in Frankenstein, when Victor reads the work of a scientist that his professors dismiss as nonsense and becomes obsessively deranged studying the subject matter.

So it's not that I think it's time for a revival and lord knows the word "reboot" has begun to stink of soulless profit (I think we're one, maybe two flops from a reboot of the MCU). I'm not the most current on horror media in any case so maybe it's been done, but if not I do think we oughta start considering the idea of a haunted phone app.

Apps are already designed for this, anyway. In our current era, a lot of retail "apps" are just reskinned browsers that load an optimized version of the company's website, and the goal of most apps and websites is to keep you in the app/website. (Which is why the google mail and tumblr apps both have internal web browsers.) A lot of phone games are designed to keep you in the game and continually redirect you towards microtransactions, and even apps that aren't games often gamify use; "gamification" has come to be a polite euphemism for "creating addictive circumstances".

Alongside this, a lot of recent cults and cultlike organizations have determined that straight religion is not the best way in anymore, and are coming in sidelong through MLMs (Nexium), wellness and dietary orthodoxies (Bikram Yoga, a number of insta/tiktok orthorexia gurus), or political movements (Qanon). So you get a cult, set up like a business, with an app you use for your business -- or even a cult with a "wellness" app that monitors your sleep, eating, location (wait, that's just FitBit) -- and slowly it gamifies you right into attempting to raise a Great Old One using the power of your downstream or a nice big helping of olive oil coffee.

Although I hate those thinkpieces/art pieces that are all about "you're so busy on your phone you can't appreciate the world around you, remember when we read real paper books" so I would require that the protagonist defeat the evil also using a phone app, or at the very least blind the evil using the flashlight function. Locking the book away in a library app and then putting the phone on airplane mode is a nice resolution, followed perhaps by it lighting up even though it's offline with a message "someone is attempting to locate this phone" as the post-credits stinger for the sequel.

This thought brought to you by Duolingo, which recently fed me, in succession, the task of translating from Italian the phrases

Who do you see in the mirror?

We open the curtains and see the light.

The pillows and blankets are red.

Dating the Lost Light crew

Rung

* If you’re a current patient of his, Rung has some reservations regarding dating you at first, mostly due to the last time he got too close to a patient and the ensuing chaos that happened afterwards. He doesn’t want to a repeat, not with you. But to prove you want to make things work between you, you go as far as to tell him that you’ll no longer be his patient but perhaps his partner instead? With a line like that, Rung finds it hard to say no.

* Rung tries to include you in some of his hobbies such as model making. You end up working on a few together which don’t start out great but get better in time. If you’re human or a minibot, Rung relies on your size to help with smaller details such as decals or keeping track of tiny pieces. He keeps the ships you work together on a different shelf to show progress. You joke sometimes that the ships are your sparklings which does cause Rung to flush up.

* When you realized Rung’s glasses weren’t his optics, you wanted to- no, needed to see how bad his vision was but you didn’t want to be rude and ask. It wasn’t until he was in his recharge cycle that you took the moment to look through them and realize how blind he was without them. You did get caught though and Rung stated you looked cute in them, despite the fact both of you could barely see each.

* Rung’s love language is spending quality time together whether it be going to Swerve’s for some drinks, dance, and conversation or having some quiet time in the berth, enjoying each others presence. Just being near one another is enough to show how much he loves you.

* He’s very upfront with your relationship as opposed to others like Megatron and Ultra Magnus. Though he’s not as affectionate in public, he’ll still hold your hand or keep close to you to make sure you’re always nearby. Rung also gets excited when you say his name, a twinkle forming in those optics as you call for him or make your presence known.

* If you were present for when Rung was recovering, you rarely left his side: holding his hand, talking to him, reassuring that he was going to be okay and you’ll see him soon. Fellow crew mates had to drag you away to take care of yourself, to get something in the tank, and get some rest before returning back to his side.

* There was a lot of confliction and realizations after finding out Rung was Primus and your method to cope was with humor. Though some of the things you said were in poor taste, Rung knows you’re trying to comprehend this information in a way you could understand it. Methods include interchanging Rung and Primus especially in the berth, trying to get him to teach you old Cybertronian, and cracking jokes about dating/ interfacing with a god.

* There’s a half way completed model kit in your possession that you’re curious as to why you started it as you’ve never done one before. You knew it had to be worked on by two bots as some parts are a little more rough around the edges but other parts are seemingly professionally done. You’ve tried to complete it many times but each time, your optics start to well up and you have to stop. Perhaps the bot who started this with you will come back and help you finish once and for all?

NSFW

* Communication is the priority for Rung when you decide to interface. Every want or need is clear and upfront! Rung is a gentle lover and checks in to make sure you’re doing well but after a good level of comfortability, is willing to step up in terms of what happens behind the berth doors!

* Rung does have a kink for you calling out his name while interfacing, especially with building up that tension and knowing he’s the one responsible for it. He’s in favor of some roleplaying in which you both make quips at one another, him from the psychological angle and you from the god angle.

[ohtori-chan]

The Magnus Archive is horror but also sometimes delightful? For instance:

-Eldritch beings just want a good grade in their anatomy course

-Oblivious plumber doesn’t think it’s a big deal that he didn’t notice all those severed heads the first time

-Avatar of the beholding uses his powers to find out when and where there is cake in the building

-“We can blind ourselves and run away together! But like, platonically!”

-”So there was a ghost in your flat,what did you do?” “I moved” aka the only reasonable action anyone ever takes in 200 episodes

I know there are more but these are definite standouts.

[i-cant-sing]

Red Flags about my ocs:

Y/n, being cuddled very aggressively by Theodore: I think your red flag is that you stop me from going to work by cuddling me and telling me that I should just quit because you can take care of me.

Theodore, narrowing his eyes at you as he signs: and I think you're color blind but you don't see me pointing it out.

-

Y/n: stalking me, leaving me creepy messages and gifts, buying the bank and the police, and then kidnapping me, then revealing that you are a murdering mafia leader are all VERY RED FLAGS!

Dimitri, sips his vodka:

Y/n:

Dimitri, another sip: I think thats a beige flag.

Y/n, eye twitches: How?

Dimitri, smiles: I'm handsome, I'm rich, and I have a really cute son who you absolutely adore. They kinda neutralise the redness, no?

Y/n: nO-

Dimitri, pulls you into his lap and kisses you deeply, not minding you trying to scratch his face off: it's okay, little bee. You'll learn to love being covered in red in time. It is my favourite colour, after all.

-

Y/n: You have no red flags, Eros. You're perfect.

Eros: what? I'm not perfect. Of course, I have some red flags. Like- like what about the time I forgot to kiss you on your birthday morning?🥺

Y/n: that's because you went downstairs to catch the man who was trying to break in!

Eros: hm, what about the time I sold your car?

Y/n: and then bought me my dream car! Eros, stop, okay? The flag has literally never been greener.

Eros, sulking: okay, if you say so, my love.

Y/n: I love you, my green flag.

Eros, perking up and kissing you: more, always.

-

Magnus: hey angel, so earlier you mentioned that I may have some red flags? Do you wanna talk about them now?🙂

Y/n, seeing all the cult followers glaring at her and recalling how they promised to pluck your eyes out so that you can't see "red" anymore: ugh- um, y-yeah, I don't know what i was talking about Mag. I don't think I'm feeling well, probably that's why I was talking nonsense.

Magnus, concerned and grabbing your face gently: oh? Not feeling well, are you? It must be because of your hormones just ruining your body. I think another baby in you will balance your hormones out!🥰

[crow-ur-beloved]

various jrwi headcanons because the worms in my brain (potential autism) wont shut up. no real plot spoilers except for one, but its marked :]

the suckening:

shilo is like vampire immunocompromised, which added to the pile of reasons his mom used to keep him inside the castle because she didnt want him to immediately get 37 different diseases and Die. (if vampires can have allergies then id like to think they can also get sick. i dont actually know if thats possible in the vtm system but i dont care they can in my heart)

genderfuck/genderpunk afab emizel. i feel like thats the only label he'd use, if he had to have one. i dont think hed label his sexuality because he wants to be an enigma. but he Definitely likes men.

bizley said in the qna something that can Only let me think of shilo as aromantic. maybe aro And ace... i dont remember what he said exactly aughhgh i wish i did...

shilo fidgets with his hands like all the time. his mother and uncle tried to get him to stop and sit still because it wasnt very princely and whatnot but my boy needs a fidget toy. i think hed go craaaazy with an infinity cube

i feel like me saying arthur bennett is a bisexual doesnt even count as a headcanon like i think thats just a given. i feel like itd be more surprising if i said i thought he was straight. all beautiful beautiful vampire men have to be lgbtq. its the law actually

arthur never officially broke up with mary. mans just Left one day without warning. probably left a note that said "sorry. -arthur" on it. i doubt he had it in him to say goodbye to her face or his reasoning for it (he thought hed inevitably hurt her because of what he is and what he did to the people he loved in the past, because bad luck seems to follow him everywhere... oughh he makes me ill). he definitely used finding a new lead on anya somewhere else in the country as a good reason to dip. at least, as good a reason as it couldve been for him.

maybe controversial but i 100% think arthur and magnus had a one-night stand at the beginning of their relationship, before magnus met jerome, and they never talked about it again and pretend it never happened. cannot explain how real this is to me.

riptide:

ftm chip who 100% innately knew he was a dude since the moment he could think. like when the black rose pirates picked him up, he got confused when they started referring to him as a girl at first. probably never got The Talk from them, so was Very confused when he hit puberty. Reuben reluctantly helped him steal to pay for top surgery.

since tritons live at the bottom of the ocean, they would have eyes that are far more sensitive to light to allow them to see better since little light gets all the way down there. gillion was Immediately blinded by the sun when he surfaced and still gets headaches from how bright it is in the oversea, but they've gotten better the longer he's been up there. tritons are built to adapt to all kinds of conditions, so his eyes have slowly been getting a darker bluish-purple the longer he spends above the ocean; they were originally more of a light blue-grey.

in tandem with the last one, chip thinks hes either going crazy or a bad friend because he Swears gill's eyecolor is different than last week but how could that be possible, thats not just something he can do, right? why would he be able to do that???

if gillion gets knocked onto his back without warning he does that thing that sharks do where they get paralyzed for a bit when they get flipped upside down. its scary because he can see everything but cant do anything. he also definitely forgot to tell chip and jay about this fact and scared the Shit out of them the first time it happened around them.

gillion can also change his sex like some fish can. its the reason he can lay eggs. i think this makes it safe to say genderfluid/nonbinary/generally trans gillion tidestrider is highly possible and even probable in this headcanon. what im saying is t4t fish n chips.

not to headcanon all my favs as trans but i cant help it. it is the highest honor i can bestow upon them. anyways. mtf jay ferin. ava always knew and was the first person jay came out to. jay was also 100% named jayson after her father and went by jay most of her life anyway as a nickname and just decided to stick with it instead of picking anything else. may was always very openly-supportive of her. jayson was as supportive as a generally strict, overbearing, unsupportive-in-everything father can be. jay totally came out to him and the first thing he said to her was something like, "as long as it doesnt interfere with your navy training," and may promptly kicked him under the table and made him say something nice.

kiras trans too btw. she came out before jay and helped jay discover she was trans. and that she liked women.

(spoilers for 109 and beyond) chip can't entirely remember what he looks like. everytime he focuses on the illusion of hiding that hes practically just a skeleton now, it changes just a bit. freckles in the wrong places, the wrong shade of orange for his flame tattoos, too much light in his eyes, too much muscle on his arms. jay notices it but cant bring herself to say anything. she knows the illusion is meant to keep everyone from worrying, but, everytime she sees something off about it, she just remembers what he really looks like underneath, and that somehow feels worse.

blood in the bayou:

all these bitches gay as hell. kian is pan. rands got a lot of internalized homophobia. rolan probably too. its the 80s, man.

apotheosis (haven't finished it yet so idk how true these'll be lol):

agender rumi. godbless.

also rumis a theater kid. he got the lead in every musical he auditioned for because he could literally just shapeshift. theyd make up a new identity and appearance for every role and get to know everyone on the cast and then mysteriously drop off the face of the planet as that person when the production was over and nobody would know it was them.

peter has actually tried All Kinds of things. weed. yoga. multilevel marketing schemes. you name it, big chance hes done it at least once and didnt like it. he doesnt know how he ends up in the situations to try it, either.

[roguelov]

So about insecure reader, instead of comfort and sweet words, what if Dream just absolutely flipped imao? At first he's hysterical and territorial like, "How dare you, his beloved, his most treasured, his precious mortal insult yourself like that? You dare to belittle my future Queen, mother of his child, love of my life?" And then he's all like a kicked puppy. If you really feel he'd think you're less than goddesses or faes, that means he's done not enough and he fail you. And reader's stunned and dizzy because that's not how you anticipated this goes. How on earth does the conversation goes from voicing your little insecurities to him pouring out his massive insecurities, and now you become the one that's supposed to give comfort and hugs and kisses. But what can you do instead. He's a high maintenance baby, yeah, no doubt about that. And he's just so irresistible and kinda adorable and you love him so much.

Oh we love our high maintenance baby 🥰

You blinked, absolutely stunned by Dream’s sudden outburst. This surely was the last thing you were expecting. You had voiced some insecurities of yourself after trying on newly purchased clothes. The purchase had stirred up those familiar sour voices. Part of you was believing if you spoke up, Dream would comfort you. He would help you in some way, support you.

You were in fact wrong, oh so wrong.

Dream turned to you with sorrowful eyes, an ocean of heartache which swallowed you up and dragging you beneath the tumultuous waves.

“Have I not loved you enough?” He stepped forward, taking your hands. “Have I not pulled down stars to adorn your wondrous body and moved mountains so you may trek along a simpler path?”

Your cheeks burned. “I, uh, well yes -“

His hand cupped your face. His thumb brushed over your cheekbone. “Tell me, my love, what have I done wrong? How have I failed you?”

“Dream -“

His hand fell from your face. His arms curled around your waist, pulling you close. He nuzzled his face into your neck. He squeezed you gently. Your arms dangled loosely at your side, still trying to process this sudden whirlwind of events.

He murmured softly into your skin, “My dear, have I not shown you enough love? Have I neglected you? Has my pride once again blinded me to not always kneel before you and cherish you?”

At his words, Dream slowly dropped to his knees before you, staring up at you like you were an artistic masterpiece. He, the hardworking artist, had finished his magnus opus, his career defining work. You were ethereal with no imperfections in his eyes.

Your heart skipped. You sighed, shaking your head. You lowered yourself down in front of him. You cupped his face, smiling softly. “My sweet king, you have done more than enough.”

“But -“

“Insecurities are hard to erase, it takes times.” You brushed back his hair. You drew him close, kissing his forehead. “But, with you by my side, I know one day those voice will be so small, and so insignificant, they will be drowned out by you and you alone.”

A smile twitched on his lips. “If you say so, my love.”

“I know you will.”
