sam and archivist after falling through the rift, 13-05-24, colourized

[vieramars]

For my recent comic coloring and lettering class I adapted a (slightly abridged) scene from tmagp 21. It's not perfect and the font certainly needs work but I figured I should stop procrastinating posting it. So.

please click for better quality, and hopefully tumblr didn't crunch it to the point of illegibility

This took about 3 weeks total of work over the course of 8 weeks on top of way too many other assignments 🫠 I love art school

Wait, did the rift want ANYONE or specifically Celia, though??? Cause if it's trying to balance the two universes, then Sam and the Archivist getting pulled into it might make it more unstable, right?????

I hope you don't mind, but now that I've finally found someone who's listening to Magnus Protocol but hasn't listened to Magnus Archives I will be studying you like a bug under a magnifying glass. I've been dying to know how the show hits from a non archives perspective. So in that vein, if you don't mind me questioning you, what are your overall thoughts on the show so far? Also what's it like seeing the fandom response from people who have listened to archives? Have you been successful in avoiding spoilers?

Honestly I’ve been loving Protocol.

I’m not 100% sure what to translate since I don’t know what Archives context I’m missing, but I can try to tell you what I really like about Protocol.

I really do love the format of Protocol. It’s mostly an office drama story, which on its own is appealing, but the statements from FR3-D1 put in each episode gives the story this underlying horror aspect to it. So when I listen to an episode, often times if the statement portion feels lacking, the office drama really brings up the episode and the vice versa.

Then things start to get a lot more creepier when the two intersect (The Magnus Institute, Mr. Bonzo, Lady Mowbray, the Drowning Victim, the Archivist, etc.) and by this point in the story, we’re so close to having a full merge.

Since this is my first real dive into horror podcasts, I do want to engage with the fan community, but it’s hard to balance being spoiler-free at the same time. I do know some general spoilers that I haven’t updated in a while, but is mostly still accurate. I don’t know what an Archivist is, but I am aware that AU versions of Archives characters have made their debut here.

I am aware that Protocol is going a lot faster than Archives. From what I understand of Archives, it has a lot more slow build up rather than Protocol which I has a pretty good pace. Might be because Protocol has less than half the episodes as Archives.

It’s really interesting how the fandom keeps losing their minds over stuff that I’m just like “yeah cool let’s see where that goes”. Like E26 where the Archivist was named, I felt like I took on the perspective of Alice/Gwen/Sam where I’m like “okay… and this means what?” while the rest of the fandom is taking the Celia perspective of “OH NO”.

Or even this recent episode where this Minister Trevor Herbert dude was. Like I have no idea what this dude is and why everyone is absolutely screaming, crying, throwing up that he’s here, and that is fascinating.

It’s been pretty interesting when I bring up something that felt weird or off that just went nowhere, and my friends revealing some info. I’m like “WHAT” and they’re just like “oh thats not common knowledge?” And I’m just there like “huh?!?” Which turns out, the Hilltop Centre was actually important.

I mostly wish the fandom would tag archives spoilers with #tma /#the Magnus archives / #tma vague just so that spoilers could be tagged a little bit better, but to be fair I am one of the rare people that doesn’t intersect the Venn diagram between archives and protocol.

But overall, I really am loving Protocol. I don’t know when I’ll listen to Archives (probably after Protocol’s three seasons are over) but I will listen to it eventually. Feel free to send more asks my way.

ERROR/ARCHIVIST doodle for my reaction thread on twt ! with some edits

[i-do-not-know-what-it-is]

it's 1 am, and i am here with another theory. it's a shot in the dark but im kinda vibing with the idea of it...

‼️‼️TMAGP SPOILERS BELOW ‼️‼️

what if the archivist in tmagp is gertrude? the magnus institute was said to have burned down in the 1990s in this universe... correct me if im wrong (which could be very likely) but wasn't that during the time in the tma universe that gertrude was the archivist?? what if in this universe, gertrude wasn't as good at predicting jonah's plans and therefore fell prey to them? what if she had ended up becoming that archivist that jonah was cultivating, and in turn became this immortal being that survived the destruction of the magnus institute? what if she was the reason that the magnus institute burnt down? like maybe, similar to how it happened in tma, the eye-pocalypse was on the verge of coming into existence and in gertrude fashion, she stopped it before it could happen, but at the time she was already long gone and very much a fully fledged avatar, therefore surviving the fire, but just ending up trapped inside the ruins of the institute? and then once she was freed, she's researching what all had happened with the institute, to finish the puzzle she was researching before the institute collapsed???

idk man, my brain is running, and i am honestly pretty down with this concept 🤷

DAY 7: EYES

Taking a step away from OC's to draw TMAGP fanart! Archivist on a train <3 (also does anyone want to hear my theory about who the tmagp archivist is-)

[lukas-broken-bow]

any normal person would’ve seen this recently refurbished seat and thought ‘ah, something must have spilled on it’ or the like.

my tmagp brain immediately went ‘oh of course they refurbished it, the archivist was on that seat with all its eyes’

send help.

[cavezuo]

Hear me out. What if Gwyn is an archivist. Now I may be reaching, but she knows A LOT more than she lets on and was who Sam saw right before giving his statement.

That or what if the archivist that is active now appears to the statement giver as someone they trust? But everyone else sees the scary ass thing. I'm just full of thoughts

[vieramars]

What if the archivist (tmagp) calls itself "an archivist" not because there are multiple archivists in this specific universe but because it knows it's one in a multiverse with many iterations of the archivist and it's being a smartass. Cause if it turns out to be Jon that's a very Jon thing to do.

listening to TMAGP ep 28 had me INCREDIBLY excited and SWEATING PROFUSELY all at the same time 😭
