The Magnus Archives, Episode 1 - The Anglerfish.

Statement Begins,

First listen to this podcast, that pops up in my feed on youtube a lot, and tumblr, and gotta say...

Love it. Especially the first episode.

Anyway, I have so many thoughts and opinions, and I need to scream into the void.

1. Jonathan Sims is also spelt Johnathan Sims? I'm using the fucking... uh... script thing while listening and I've noticed the difference in spelling??? I did see some posts (all were ship stuff, something about a Tim and Jon?) And I'm so confused on why everyone uses Jon while the script has Johnathan. Wild.

2. Why does Jon/John(???) feel Albino to me?? Like, I'm pretty sure this guy has no description, he is a voice. So Albino??? Huh. Like, immediate thought while listening to him yap was 'this bitch is albino.' He also gives stoner vibes. I can't explain it, but I know I am right.

3. Love how he is skeptical, it's great. Tbh, the first episode statment guy sounds like the he was tripping. I'd also think the statement was fake if I was him.

4. John/Jon (I need to pick a spelling.) Sounds, specifically, British in a 'born and raised in cardiff' type. Do you understand??? Do I make sense??? He's the bitch who went to a posh private school and you just knew it. He also stands weirdly I bet.

4.5. Also, Jon/John has assistants, which seems like a Head Archivist needs. Tim, Sasha and Martin. Bet one of em is like, an alien. (It's Tim. Who the fuck names their kid TIM???)

5. The Anglerfish story. Again. Sounds very much like a bad trip, or like, a hallucination. The missing people thing though makes it less. Not fake. But it could be, like, those stories that pop up when people go missing. My primary school used to make rumours of aliens and shit when some kinds went missing.

5.5. Like, the rumours and horror stories that would pop up is wild. Jon/John is me and I am him. We are the same.

5.6. Oh my god what if its aliens. That'd be funny as shit.

6. John/Jon is such a hater. I love him. He definitely gets no bitches and I can fucking tell (we are the same)

7. Bet aliens happen here, I can't stop thinking about it. I couldn't stop with how the guy described the Anglerfish thing. Definitely alien behaviour. There's no like, supernatural shit as in vampires, but its aliens. I think it'd be fucking funny. (I just know even from the singular mention Tim is an alien.)

8. Already, I love the format and setting. An archive??? In London? I can see it. London is too fucking posh and far, but you could tell me this place existed and I'd be like 'yeah that tracks'.

That's my thoughts for now, and yes, I was really hung up on aliens. Because I feel like it's aliens. Also, why is the podcast genre tradegy and horror? Horror is a given, but why tradgey?

Oh my god they all die. Like, from aliens. Funfact, I don't really believe in aliens, but I do love alien based fiction, I.e Xenomorphs and shit. I know my shit.

I'll probably encase multiple episodes into a post since I just realised there's 200 episodes. Like damn???

Statement ends.

The Magnus Archives is a horror podcast WRONG

The Magnus Archives is a RomCom WRONG

It's the world most elaborately made and longest anti smoking ad lmao

"....Can I have a Cigarette?"

So remember when I said I wanted to try sketches for every episode of TMA...

TMA begins with a lure, but TMAGP begins with a warning.

MAG054 - Still Life

[lesbianshepard]

I think an underappreciated thing about alexander scaplehorn (tax inspection guy) in TMA is that he was just too open minded and accepting for an avatar of the stranger to have much of an effect at first. he saw the taxidermied corpse of a man possessed by the concept of uncanny valley and was like "This guy says weird things, won't make eye contact, and is surrounded by old taxidermied animals? Ohhhh, yeah my cousin is autistic too. It's really not a big deal, we've all got our quirks. :)" Like he would catch himself getting unnerved by the shop and then chastise himself for being judgmental. King.
