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

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."

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?!?

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

Tfw your name is Martin/Martyn and you're at the mercy of an all-seeing god-like being that really likes eye imagery.
#Started listening to TMA a few weeks ago and now I'm almost done with season 4#I've literally been comparing these two in my head since Martin first appeared#I put way too much effort into this silly little doodle#the magnus archives#martin blackwood#trafficblr#traffic smp#life series#martyn inthelittlewood#inthelittlewood#eyes and ears#doodle#tma#tma podcast

Ok so I have a lot of thoughts about one particular thing and it might be nothing but I’m getting more and more convinced that it’s something, so here ya go
There’s a through line (or multiple, depending on how you slice it) I’ve noticed in not all the episodes, but a lot of them. There’s this running theme of fear, in a lot of different ways. And for a long time I thought it was just a result of this being, yknow, a horror podcast, but some of the things on Gertrude’s shopping list are giving me second thoughts.
First there’s the actual feeling of fear. Again I know, oh wow horror podcast scary. But I don’t just mean for us as the listeners, I mean for the characters themselves. Jane Prentiss mentions in her statement many times that she is scared, and she’s supposed to be the monster under the bed of sorts. I’m pretty sure even Jon comments on it. Jon says in season 1 he keeps up the idea of him being a skeptic because he is afraid, and if he pretends they’re nothing then they aren’t real. I’m sure there are more examples, but even beyond just the content of the statements, the characters themselves are afraid and it seems to be in the very real, dread at the bottom of your stomach kind of way.
There’s also the actual sort of. Concept of fear itself. Not the feeling but the thing you think of when you read the word fear. Like phobias. The vast majority of episodes have these links to very common phobias. Fear of the dark, of enclosed spaces, of endlessness/infinity, of bugs, of death. Hell episodes like Anatomy Class and the stuff with Michael could even be related to the idea of Uncanny Valley, these things that are people but a bit to the left. I had noticed this awhile ago, but just assumed it was taking inspiration. Of course a horror podcast would involve common phobias. But episode 66, with Gertrude’s shopping list, sort of solidified it for me as more than just inspiration, in some way I’m not fully sure of yet. She was buying pesticides, and an exorbitant amount of flashlights. Things to kill bugs and keep the darkness at bay. I’m not entirely sure what the gas and lighter fluid could be related to, but the latter at least could have something to do with the weird sourceless heat that seems to keep coming up.
Like I said, there are some things that don’t fit this. Specifically episodes related to individual people or groups. Piecemeal comes to mind, since other than the fact that Salesa is mentioned the act of a person being dismembered piece by piece from a curse put on them by a nice old lady doesn’t ring any bells with any fears I can think of. Or a father’s love. Clearly horrifying, but other than the lights flickering off (and iirc, not enough to cause complete darkness) they don’t really fit that bill. But going down the list of episodes I’ve watched, a lot do.
This could be nothing. This could be something. But yall seem to like my theories whether they’re crack or not, so I hope you like this one lol

the crazy thing is that malevolent really seems like it's gonna be one of those "there's nothing actually special about this guy, he just has very bad luck." stories but no. there IS something special about that guy. there's a REASON this is happening to him. this story could NOT have happened to anyone else the way it did to him. somehow, for some reason, arthur lester is special. and even more absurdly, this specific version of arthur lester is special. that's insane.
so much of the horror genre is all about how these things could happen to anyone, but malevolent wants you to explicitly know that arthur lester is important. arthur lester is the reason this story is happening. arthur lester is different, in some strange way that even he doesn't fully understand.
and that's what makes him the main character, not just the protagonist.
#when i first started listening to malevolent i really thought it was gonna be like tma. like a guy just going through the horrors#because hes part of a bigger plan#but no.#arthur lester surprised me in such a positive way#this story doesn't just follow him this story is ABOUT him. and he won't let you forget that.#i just. him!!!!#he is my roman empire#he is. the only fiction podcast protagonist i truly care about. sorry not sorry#theres just something so intrinsically different about him#malevolent#malevolent podcast#arthur lester#malevpod#malevolent meta

Im literally foaming at the mouth rn you should listen to malevolent. The MC is significantly less jesus-looking but I believe you can change that
Your belief in me means a lot
#the dumb smart friend#Thinking about listening to it after tma#the audio of the first ep didnt click with me last time but maybe its different now
