#tma trivia

[nocteville]

So, I made a regency era uquiz earlier, and I hope it’s not too hard (and that it works properly. I’ve never made a uquiz before, and my test run seemed fine? But I still worry lol). Anyway, here it is for anyone who may be interested!

[cabinette]

tma and tf2 communities of tumblr. I made a thing. how many of you can give me extra trivia

[stompandhollar]

boldly i want to proclaim to all of you on this website that i think tim and martin hooked up once ☝🏻

[jazzically]

the library is an archivist's grocery store. imagine jon gets hungry but he cant go around eating people's experiences anymore so he starts devouring memoirs instead and becomes the world's leading expert on every autobiography ever written

the trivia murder party host is an avatar of the stranger ..to me…

the host from trivia murder party is an avatar of the stranger!

[beepbeepdespair]

this is random but as a trivia murder party enjoyer all these vagueposts for tmagp are particularly hilarious bc we call the tmp host [REDACTED] and so with all these "oh my god are we gonna meet [REDACTED]" and "they're gonna have to go to [REDACTED]" posts i'm having the time of my life imagining him just showing up in a statement and causing chaos

[ryutarotakedown]

do you miss the days when tumblr was full of trivia quizzes? do you want to read bad jokes written by my previously-a-high-schooler self on this beautiful january 1st/2nd? do you like the feeling of being beaten painfully on the head?

well then! you should take my tma uquiz :]

B—Elias.

May I enquire after Barnabas's wellbeing? I, ah, understand if you do not wish to answer, considering that he rather does not wish to see me. I merely wish to know whether he is—he is well, isn't he? Please?

‐J.M ( @jonahmagnus-research )

He may be still breathing. I think most of his blood is still in him.

Also, he's got the beginning of a cavity on his upper left molar.

Love my worm wife ❤🪱

ok. years have passed and we've had some distance, so i'm finally gonna take the leap of faith that tma fandom is finally ready to hear me on this. let's talk about tannins.

161 was the first tma episode i heard on early release, and i felt the bit where martin declines wine and cites tannins was pretty obvious in its implications. cool, got it, say no more.

imagine my surprise when i was one of maybe three people i saw read between the lines there, in a fandom famous for red stringing--a fandom that immediately caught the much less obvious thread of ignition sources in the same episode. i'll spell it out: alcohol is an issue for martin.

maybe it just felt obvious because addiction is a pet issue for me--as it is for jonny, who has said everything he writes is filtered through a lens of addiction. i don't know if that's due to his own experience or a loved one's, and i won't speculate; i also don't know if martin personally struggled with drinking or just avoids it for fear he would, but alcohol would fit what we know of his family. his dad walking out and his mum spiralling into bitter wallowing and verbal abuse? i'd bet one or both of them drank, yeah.

on a basic level martin tries to decline alcohol, and that alone should have raised eyebrows given what we know of martin and, again, a fandom that dissects everything. we already knew martin "K" blackwood lied about his personal life and his family in particular, especially pre-canon, which is when this flashback took place. i was shocked that everyone took his flimsy excuse at face value with no further questions.

and the excuse is flimsy. martin turns down wine by--nervously--exclaiming tannins are "a proven headache trigger!" which sounds like trivia from a magazine cover and not the words of someone who actually has headaches--and it hasn't come up before or since. jon, confused, points out that tea, a drink martin consumes to a degree that is memetic both in- and out-of-universe, also contains tannins, and martin squawks a panicked, "what?!"

if tannins are enough of a concern for martin that he knew they're in wine and so avoids it, why didn't he know they're in his drink of choice? why does he still drink tea at the time of canon, and why doesn't he struggle with constant headaches from consuming 'a proven headache trigger' day in and day out? why, indeed, would someone avoid wine and not tea?

when sasha insists martin drink he caves and agrees to 'just a drop'. i imagine him pouring it in a plant, which admittedly he could have done if tannins really were the issue. i will say that i, for one, would be less likely to falsely agree to something that makes me physically ill than to a private issue that i'd rather not be pressed on any further. this scene also establishes martin's birthday was an ice cream party instead of the more traditional visit to a pub.

also, this scene was in the first episode of the final season, as one of three flashbacks that could have been to any pre-canon event in the archives. prime narrative real estate. not really time one would waste on establishing the important character context that martin has... headaches. which never comes up before or after, even regarding the week he spent in spiral town. but you know what is pretty crucial character background...?

it felt like a no-brainer, and yet all i saw was h/c fluff about jon attending to martin's headaches. and i hate feeling bitter about disability representation. i want folks with chronic headaches to feel seen and have fluffy escapist fantasies. i don't want to be mad about people portraying a character with a disability. but, guys? you got the wrong disability. jonny sent a clear message, and it went over fandom's head.

Chillin’ with the Lads™ at Camp Magnus

(Heads up that the TMA discord that I mod for is hosting a “Camp Week” packed full of super cool daily events hosted from July 1st to July 7th and if you’re interested, you should definitely join! The link and more information can be found below the cut.)

Welcome to The Magnus Institute!

We’re a 15+ TMA community and daily live-listen discord server with over 350 members that’s here for you to make friends, chill out, and prepare you for The Magnus Protocol!

Our goal is to foster a community that can involve anyone and everyone: from hardcore TMA veterans to those who have never listened to the podcast before. We've got some epic channels that create fun spaces for artists, writers, gamers, and theorists, along with those who’re just into chilling out.

The start of Camp Week means lots of events! Feel free to join the server to check out the full schedule, but here’s a short list of some events we’ll be hosting from Saturday July 1st to Friday July 7th;

An art contest, a writing contest, quiplash games, trivia nights, presentation nights, daily campfire stories, Gartic Phone games, bracelet making, DJ sets, karaoke, a Bob Ross painting sesh, daily YouTube movie nights, among us, green screen edits, a frantic fanfic sesh, tarot readings, and more!

We’ve also set up cabins to create a little bit of camp spirit and competition! By participating in events, you’ll be able to win points for your cabin which will be tallied at the end of the week to determine who reigns supreme! You’ll be able to choose to join 1 of 4 cabins; Gertrude’s Goobers, Leitner’s Losers, Mikaele’s Malewives, and Smirke’s Seniors.

We also have a Minecraft Server dropping on the 1st along with the start of camp week! So if you’re into mining or crafting, make sure to check out the server.

I should also note that a big part of our server’s draw is the daily live listens. We’ve been listening to an episode of TMA every day since March, and as of today (the 26th), we’re on MAG 92 - Nothing Beside Remains. So, if you’d like to join us (or catch up) and listen to the last half of the podcast alongside a live chat every day at 6pm BST and 6pm PT, then we’d love to have you!

That’s about as much condensed information as I can give you without making this wall of text even thicker. If for any reason the discord link doesn’t work for you, or you’re having trouble accessing the server, just send me a DM and I’ll be happy to help you out!

Can’t wait to meet you guys! Have fun!

intro post

Hello! I’m an East Coast cosplayer migrating back to my home website in the aftermath of the TikTok ban. I’ve been on and off Tumblr since 2013, but wanted to make a blog specifically for cosplay so I can give a middle finger to meta while still keeping in touch with other fans of my favorite series.

I’m primarily into Bungou Stray Dogs, along with other fandoms like TMA, Hannibal, Beastars, Death Note, Zelda, MXTX, and Nier, among others. I go to most major conventions on the East Coast, with my next ones being Katsucon and C2E2.

I’m a novice seamstress/crafter and a big fan of altering, thrifting, or making cosplays. It was how I got started back in 2014 and how I am able to affordably and sustainably enjoy this hobby. I also love hosting trivia and debate panels, and can often be found running them with friends at cons.

Thanks for taking the time to read and stop by. Feel free to say hello or strike up a conversation if we’re into the same things and you’d like to be mutuals!

Ezekiel Kravitz! The Oldest Sibling out of Adam's Siblings (Making them Abirt's Uncle)

They're my TMA OC (Kravitz Family Lore is that they are everywhere in different unvierses and timeline) and they're an Avatar of the Web.

Some Ezekiel trivia:

Nonbinary [They/Them]

They molt. As spiders do.

Their hair is almost entirely made of spider silk now

Adam's oldest brother

The spider chest piece having two limbs on the head instead of the torso was a semi- accident. It's to represent how some spider species imitate ants by raising their front legs to join the ant colony (and in this case, Ezekiel pretending to be human despite being an Avatar)

Also rich but in a Morticia and Adams way. Fucking Loaded Ass.

Doesn't really kill people now. They grew out of that phase a long ass time ago (old ass) but that doesn't mean they won't. It's just that they found other ways to feed their patron without murder (Bodies can be so hard to get rid of, you know. Plus, if you kil them, you have to go out looking for more to feed on.)
