#tma 11

[lurkingindoorways]

Ok Johnny definitely did this on purpose right?

“If you’re listening to this, it means I’m dead. And you have been chosen to be my replacement as Head Archivist…

“It is very important to be absolutely clear this is not a joke. Nor is it any sort of prank, or game. Your colleagues have not convinced me to record this as an attempt to… haze you. This is completely serious. And very, very important for you to know.”

- Gertrude Robinson, tma ep 161: Dwelling

“[Elias’] exact phrase was that she “died in the line of duty”, which I had assumed meant having a stroke at her desk or something similar…”

“I don’t entirely trust the others not to have written it as a practical joke and slipped it into the archives…It’s almost certainly a joke, a bit of hazing for the new boss, maybe?”

- Jonathan Sims, tma ep 11: Dreamer

[constanttea]

being an avatar of the end must be crazy bc like, imagine trading stories with others

"in my dream today, another john's heart gave out"

against

"I fed a man to my pig that is always hungry."

or

"I buried a nice lady alive in a mound of maggots"

Favourite Episode Masterlist

[starsandwriting]

Haha. Hahaha.

[ID: Alternating excerpts from the transcripts of The Magnus Protocol episode 11 and The Magnus Archives episode 112 and 67.

1.

Gwen: I thought he was going to kill me!

Lena: But he didn’t, which means you’ve passed the first part of your probation. Congratulations. Did you scream?

2.

(Elias): congratulations. You’re doing a lot better than I expected.

Archivist: Feels like all I’ve managed to do is… not die.

Elias: And believe me, that is a remarkably rare skill.

3.

Gwen: I don’t understand.

Lena: Yes, you do.

Beat.

Gwen: But… why?

Lena: “Why” comes later. For now, it’s best you try to process the “what.” I’ll let you know when I have another liaison assignment for you.

4.

Archivist: So you obviously know how to stop it. You could just tell me!

Elias: I could. But I believe that if I did so, you would fail. The Stranger is antithetical to us.

[The Archivist sighs heavily]

5.

Gwen (defeated): I… Ok.

Gwen opens the door.

Lena: Oh, and Gwen?

Gwen: Yes?

Lena: Get some sleep. You look dreadful.

6.

Archivist: Of course, of course. Understood.

Elias: And for God’s sake, get some sleep.

Thank you @princess-of-purple-prose for the ID!

they are running from the horrors

(individual characters under the cut)

[my-heart-of-heart]

Me: Whatever the reason or implication, Chester’s statements have a pattern of reflecting Jon’s story in tma. It shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that this pattern would continue.

Tmagp 11: Chester reads a statement about a guy who is driven to paranoia and stalking tendencies because he needs to See and Know what’s going on.

Me: HOLY SHIT

Red sky at night, sailors delight.

Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.

[shankss-magnificent-ass]

Imagine breaking the news about the seraphim to King

You: I have bad news

King: [let's out a pained sigh] what could be worse than my race being revealed to the world, Kaido losing a fight, our empire falling, losing my wing, and being imprisoned by the very people my boss oppressed?

You: so we just heard from Luffy, and apparently. Vegapunk used the samples that he collected from you all those years ago.

King: [ throws back his head and cries] Fuck!

Queen: What'd he use them for? I had opted for cloning the skin samples to create a fleshy exoskeleton for a cyborg.

You: he made Lunarian cyborg clone-babies of some of the warlords.

Queen: oh! Cyborg Clones, huh? I had personally voted we use the skin samples we collected to create a skin for a mech, but cyborg clones never really occurred to me.

Jack: [guffaws] which ones?

King: [scrunches his eyes closed, crosses his fingers and whispers] not Moira, not Moira, please not Moira.

You: Kuma, Mihawk, Jinbe, and Boa Hancock.

King: how is that so much worse! Boa and Mihawk were intense enough as humans. And Kuma and Jinbe were strong enough due to their own species!

You: from what Nami said, they look around 8 or 9 years old. Vegapunk was kind enough to include pictures and details. [Holds out the package]

King: [can't stand the sight of the files, so he looks at the pictures first and sees they all look like normal photos a parent might take.] These are posed photos, aren't they?

You: most likely

Queen: [peeks over his shoulder] oh Boa is still beautiful as a child. Which makes sense, seeing as she's gorgeous as an adult.

Everyone in the room: [ ಠ⁠ಗ⁠ಠ]

King: [holds up a flaming fist] Kaido isn't here to protect you from me anymore.

Jack: [gives Queen a menacing look]

Queen: OH, NO! Not like that! NO!

No one in the room: [believes him]

A week later

You: hey King, so uh, I was wrong.

King: [pinches the bridge of his nose] please, don't.

You: There are other seraphims than the ones I told you about.

Queen: Figures

King: ... There's a Moira seraphim, isn't there?

You: [gives him a pinched smile] yeah, there's a Doflamingo, and a Crocodile seraphim too.

King: a Dofla-! That bastard! Mixing my genes with Moira of all people is bad enough, and to mix in a celestial dragon, especially Doflamingo, is even worse!

Jack: maybe Doflamingo was cute as a kid?

You: Ehh, no. I wanted to punch Doflamingo as an adult, but I want to punch him even more as a child.

King:[notices you are carrying more files] are those the new one's files?

You: yeah.

King: [braces himself and sighs] alright let me see.

You: you're taking this news better than I thought you would. [hands him the files]

Queen & Jack: [huddle closer to get a look]

Jack: [sees the pictures] oh god

Queen: how does Crocodile look more dower as a child?

King: [holds up the pictures of the Moira and Doflamingo seraphim's] these two are my least favorite.

You: Parents aren't supposed to have favorites.

King: ugh, don't call me that, please.

Queen: would you prefer Papa?

King: [pushes him away by his face] shut up

TMAGP EP11 SPOILERS!!⚠️

oh Good Fucking Lord

Gwen and Lena's discussion is EXACTLY the same as Jon and Elias in the first seasons of TMA, when the avatars were just being graded and the truth was slowly coming to light.

(especially, it reminded me of when Jon returned from Nikola's kidnapping)

and...Gwen and Alice make a great Jon and Martin S1 parallel, if Martín had defended himself against Jon during his idiot stage.

(besides, something inside me said that in TMAGP Tea would be replaced by Coffee)

AAAHHHHHHHHH

[allbluegem]

Episodes 10 to 15 on my The Magnus Protocol illustration project. Will see if I can catch up during the show’s break.

daisy is ABSURDLY strong. once when she and jon were stuck in the archives because the electromagnet on the doors were broken, she just. yanked it open. he looked at her with pure shock and awe and all she said was "it's just a magnet 😐"

Ex-fucking-SCUSE ME?!

[flowersfrombefore]

On a re-listen and:

This is so fucking funny. Jonathan…my guy…Tim is the MOST likely to plant a fake statement as a joke…he fucking hates you.

[my-heart-of-heart]

something something in tma the ocean and sailing were deeply associated with the Lonely but now in tmagp’s first ocean centric case the horror comes from the fact that the sailors are Very Much Not Alone
