#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.

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

[shankss-magnificent-ass]

Imagine getting Rob Lucci cat toys

You: Rob! I'm home! I bought you something.

Rob: [doesn't look up from his newspaper, but playful sarcasm bubbles out from behind it ] About time, I was starting to think you had left me to run off with a sailor.

You: me? No, never! I know you'd just bring me back. [winks at him] Any way, I got you some thing at the market.

Rob: [still not looking at you] And what's at?

You: This! [whips out a cat wire wand cat toy with a bright bundle of red feathers and a bell on the end of the wire, and holds it excitedly above your head ]

Rob: [still doesn't look up] Oh, how thoughtful, dear, I love it.

You: [lets your arms flop to your sides, disappointed, but not surprised, with his reaction.]

Rob: Tell me, how was the rest of your day? Was the market busy?

You: [whapps the feathered end of the toy directly on the page he was reading]

Rob: [Lets out a sharp sigh, but doesn't lose his cool, but still doesn't look up at you] Don't do that, please.

You: [flicks the jingling bunch of feathers into his face, and tickles his nose]

Rob: [snorts and lurches back in his seat to look up at you, surprised into silence by your audacity]

You: [pulls that wand back] Do I have your attention now, darling?

Rob: [nods]

You: Good, Great, now I would like you to occasionally make eye contact with me when I am speaking. Or, at least, tell me that you'd like to finish your current activity, the article, or the whole paper before we talk.

Rob: Okay, I can do that... Uh, why'd you get me a cat toy?

You: oh, I got it to annoy you, and your lack of communication has deprived me of satisfaction. [smiling at him, and playfully shaking the toy at him.]

Rob: [snorts in amusement and bats the toy away as he stands up and pulls you close] So me ignoring you protected me.

You: [pulls the toy out of his reach when he tries to steal it.] Yes. But I now know that I can use them to efficiently gain your attention, so I think I'll be keeping this.

Rob: please don't.

You: [jingles the bells above his head]

Rob: [stats to swat at the toy]

You:[jerks the toy to a different place in his reach after every swat]

Rob: [starts to find funny] listen here, you little shit, I am not a cat!

You: [giggles] no, you're a cat-man.

Rob: I ought to remind you of that! [ Scoops you up into his arms and bites all along your neck]

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
