Hey guys, we need to talk. Because a certain little something in TMAGP 8 is causing what is genuinely the most toxic part of the Magpod fandom at large to once again rear its ugly head. So let's talk about podcast character appearance head canons, shall we?

I'm tagging this with the Magnus Archives, TMA and Magpod tags because I am absolutely calling all of you out, but if you don't want spoilers for The Magnus Protocol episode 8 then stop reading right now.

.

.

. Okay, so, Gerry exists in the TMAGP universe. He's happy (or at least acts cheerful). And some people have headcanoned this to mean that he is no longer goth, or at the very least isn't dying his hair black with bad box color. And other people have decided to get seriously agro over this. I have literally seen with my very own eyeballs someone call "un-gothing" Gerry a "hate crime" and calling the person they were talking to "gothphobic."

Let me make this absolutely clear for all of you: podcasts are a purely audio medium and unless a physical trait of theirs is explicitely stated, everyone's headcanon for how a character appears is valid. Goth TMAGP Gerry is valid. But also

Rainbow Goth TMAGP Gerry is valid. Pastel Goth TMAGP Gerry is valid.

Not Goth At All TMAGP Gerry is valid.

Bald Gerry who has actually gotten his brain cancer diagnosed in time and is getting treated for it is valid. Somebody's headcanon of a character that has no canonical description to them, or whose headcanon matches the few crumbs of canonical description we have but otherwise doesn't look the way you imagine them to, is not going to take away from your own headcanon of what a character looks like. If someone imagining or drawing a character looking a different way from how you imagine them looking somehow takes away from your enjoyment of the fandom or otherwise makes you feel like you need to barge in and tell them that they're Wrong and need to conform to your headcanon or else, that is a reflection on you, not them.

And this problem way predates TMAGP, let alone TMAGP 8. The only description we have of John is that he is in his early 30's and has prematurely greying hair.

If someone thinks he looks like the pastiest motherfucker to ever dwell in a basement, an extra-in-the-Adam's Family or Tim Burtan protagonist of a man, let them.

What's that? You want to tell them that John is BROWN and if they don't headcanon him looking that way they're WRONG and RACIST? Back away from the keyboard and go outside.

(Ironically, as someone who started getting grey hairs in my hair in my 20's myself, I'm pretty sure everyone's headcanon of John, with tiny little whisps of grey in his hair, is wrong, because if he was so grey that people were surprised to learn he was "a child of the 90's," he was probably full on salt-and-pepper when he was in his 20's.)

The only description we have for Martin is that he (man who canonically has the self esteem of a used doormat) describes himself as "not the smallest guy", Not-Sasha called him "roomy", Melanie is skinner than him, and Jonny said he imagined him as a "bigger guy" who would beat Alex in a physical fight. If someone decides to take this information and conclude that it means he's tall, broad and has muscle, rather than that he's overweight, fucking let them. If your first instinct to this is to run to your keyboard and call them "fatphobic" or otherwise bash them for it, I once again urge you to back away from your keyboard and go outside.

Someone headcanons Basira not wearing a headscarf? We have exactly 0 canonical physical description of her and the people who headcanon her as having one are basing that purely off of her name alone. Fucking let them. Someone headcanons Melanie and/ or Georgie as a skin color you don't agree with or a hairstyle you don't like? Fucking let them. As long as someone's headcanon of a character's description doesn't contradict the few canonical descriptions we have of a character, why do you care? Them having a different headcanon from you doesn't take away your right to imagine the characters looking however you like, anymore than it should take away their right to do the same. Someone headcanoning John as white (or Black, or Asian, or Mixed, or whatever) isn't going to make all of the fanart of John as brown with long hair suddenly disappear, nor the fanfiction describing him as such (although I do often wonder if the opposite is not true; is the fact that John looks the same in so much of the fanart I see on here really because of fandom "consensus", or is it because people are absolutely awful to anyone who draws him Different?). Someone headcanoning Martin as not fat isn't going to make the mountains of fanart of him as a fluffy little marshmallow vanish into the void (although I do remember hearing about someone getting bullied off the internet for daring to draw Martin as not fat). And someone headcanoning Gerry in TMAGP as not being goth isn't going to take away your preciouse goth TMAGP Gerry headcanon. That should be part of the fun of it, shouldn't it? Seeing what different images people have conjured in their heads of these characters we only get to experience with our ears, and celebrating the differences as well as the similarities? Why are we bullying people into conforming to one appearance of a character when no actual canonical appearance of them exists?

What does the phrase “Man is the Wolf of Man” mean? For Thomas Hobbes, the wolf is a fierce, dangerous and aggressive predator. When the author points out that man is man's wolf, he means that this violence typical of the animal, the risks it poses, is something that man is capable of inflicting on himself and others around him, explaining the researcher Quentin Skinner in the book Hobbes and Republican Liberty. This is why man is his own wolf. The metaphor, published in the book Leviathan, in 1651, presents Hobbes's vision of man's conduct.

Peter Parker goes to the apartment to check for Mary Jane, only to find that the apartment is empty. Instead, Peter finds a detective waiting at the door and she is suspicious over his behavior and the stolen crime scene photos since there is a mysterious killing spree combined with a blackout on the city. Just as the detective breaks down and opens the door, Peter Parker has already left the apartment as Spider-Man. In the city, Peter Parker swings around when he senses something near him but he could not see nor figure out what it was. Peter Parker stops at the library to find articles and books about the mysterious massacre. Meanwhile, Kraven the Hunter is in the warehouse where he examines the hanging skinned corpses and he presumes that the killer does not care about money, instead the killer is more like a trophy hunter. Then, Kraven is interrupted by a detective who tries to arrest him but he swats her aside before leaving the warehouse to look for the killer which is considered worthy for him to hunt.

At the Daily Bugle building, Peter Parker tries to show the articles and photos of the mysterious killer and its trophies to J Jonah Jameson. However, J Jonah Jameson dismisses Peter for being a conspiracy theorist even though there are some evidence. Then, Peter notices the birds had been spooked by something outside. Peter Parker ignores Jameson's ramblings and goes to the window to check for something when he sees a spaceship of Predators near them. Peter speculates that the Predators are the hunting party which are searching for the one which hunts without honor. In reality, the killer is 'Skinner' the Yautja (a.k.a The Predator) without its honor code and it kills the innocents instead of the right targets (as in opponents who are considered worthy like those armed with weapons or can fight). The Yautja species are usually very strict to their tradition of ensuring a fair fight and are unlikely to kill anyone whom they think isn't a threat. If a Yautja breaks the hunting code, then the Yautja hunting party have to hunt down and kill it.

“Skinner” is absolutely unnerving.

Don’t get me wrong! I’m enjoying this comic and the storyline, but Jesus…..move over Berserker and his crew…y’all are Disney Yautjas compared to this guy. (Of course Predators didn’t exactly show them in an off world situation and just how brutal they might have possibly been. They were being assholes to healthy fighting adults.)

Skinner was going for anyone and everyone. Elderly, sick, children, zoo animals….you name it there wasn’t anyone not on his murk list.

It has made me now take an in depth look at my own Yautja OC (Mallacht). “Skinner” is a lone Yautja with no clan….Mallacht is a lone Yautja with no clan….it is so interesting to think of what exactly might have happened to “Skinner” to lead him down that path.

Was he abandoned by his clan? Or was he the cause of his clans fall? Did his clan fail to kill him once they realized he was on the path to becoming a Bad Blood? Did he even have a clan or was he born and raised into the Bad Blood life from a young age? I hope we find out more about his character!! “Skinner” is a genuine GREAT example of a Bad Blood and how truly horrifying they are and I hope we get at least a teaser as to what may have caused him to abandon the Code.

As for my own OC it’s given me a great insight into how OTHER Yautjas may perceive Mallacht on surface level and at a glance. And how a lone Yautja might have to behave and act in order to be socially accepted by other Yautjas or face the consequences as being labeled as a potential Bad Blood. Because it seems Yautjas on their own are a bit of red flag unless they have gained a reputation as an Elder, Ancient, or Elite Hunter.

Performance Evaluation

Summary: While doing Scully's performance evaluation, Mulder realizes he should clear the air about his expectations of their relationship. Scully does not take this well. Set during Season 1. Read below or on AO3.

Tags: Workplace Relationship, Unresolved Sexual Tension, Flirting, Power Imbalance, Pining, Daddy Issues

Mulder nodded at Scully as she entered the office and looked back down at the evaluation. As department head, he now had to do things like evaluate people. Skinner didn’t really oversee a lot of day-to-day operations, so Scully’s professional future was now dependent on him and the piece of paper in front of him. 

“Sleep well?”

He nodded.

“Any company?”

Employee maintains professional boundaries and refrains from crossing into personal discussions, he read.

Well, he was probably going to have to mark her down for that one. Not that he didn’t make an out of line comment or two himself.

“Uh… no. Just me.”

“I see you’re not asking if I had any company.”

She was looking at him, smiling, and he saw her bite her lip with what he thought might be desire. He broke eye contact with her and looked down at the performance evaluation.

Employee goes above and beyond to comply with supervisor’s requirements for the position, he read.

“What are you doing, Mulder?”

“Oh, just some paperwork.”

“Do you need help?”

“It’s something you’re not allowed to help me with.”

“Oh?”

“It’s, um… Skinner asked me to take a pass at your performance evaluation.”

He winced at his own words. “Taking a pass” was awfully close to “making a pass.” He looked back up at her. 

“I guess it’s a little awkward to do with you in the room,” he said, wondering if she would take the hint and excuse herself.

“Well… if there’s anything I can do to…” She shifted forward in her seat, crossing and uncrossing her legs. “Help boost…” She tossed her hair. “My score… you’ll be sure to let me know?”

He chuckled halfheartedly, but could feel himself turning red. She had shifted on the word “help boost” in a way that was unmistakable. 

He looked down, trying to focus on the next line.

Employee anticipates the needs of coworkers and supervisors and attempts to satisfy them, he read.

Jesus. 

He tried to focus, but what she was suggesting was obvious. He started to wonder, despite himself. Scully was an extremely competent coworker. She had been on a great track to climb through the bureau before she’d been shoved in the basement with him. He’d heard rumors about her when they’d started together. He knew for a fact she’d had some workplace dalliances, and some mean-spirited colleagues had insinuated to him that she’d slept her way into certain departments. Many people joked that they were sleeping together too, which of course, couldn’t have been further from the truth. 

The whole narrative of undermining a woman’s capabilities by saying she was sleeping her way to the top was chauvinism. It could be that she had been taken advantage of in her prior relationships and positions in the bureau, and that such predation had been reframed in a way that blamed her. 

Maybe she’d been shoved in the basement with him to punish her for not going with what some man wanted her to do. Maybe she was flirting with him now, had been flirting with him this entire time, to gain his favor and get out of the basement. Maybe he’d been abusing his power over her by flirting back. It had seemed innocent and sweet and hadn’t been something he actually had thought about acting on. But maybe she felt she was under some obligation to sleep with him now, for the sake of her future… the thought made his stomach twist.

He stood and walked around the desk, closing the door sharply and turning to face her.

“Scully… Dana…”

Her eyebrows went up at the mention of her given name.

“Mulder? Are you alright?”

“I want you to know something about this evaluation and about our professional relationship.”

“Professional relationship? Why so serious?”

“I know we flirt occasionally. More than occasionally, to be honest. But I want you to know, I don’t consider you to be in any way under any obligation to—”

“Wait, did you take my comment about boosting my score seriously? It was a joke.” 

Scully was the color of her hair, flushed in indignation.

“I—” What he was going to say died in his throat. Now he felt like a presumptive asshole for thinking she’d been serious. “I wasn’t sure if you were serious or not. And I wanted to clear the air.”

“Do you really think I’m the kind of woman who would sleep her way to the top? Do you think I’m not a good enough agent to succeed and fail on my own merits?”

“Of course I think you’re a competent agent! More than a competent agent. You’re excellent and the evaluation will say so. But I also think that you’re a young woman in a boys’ club. And maybe other people might have made you feel you were obligated to sleep your way to professional success. And whether you felt you had to or not, whether you ever have complied with what someone made you—”

“Mulder!”

“You don’t have to with me. You have my word.”

She crossed her arms.

“Is this your attempt at chivalry?”

Now he was just straight up getting confused.

“Yes? I… I want you to feel like I respect you and see you as an equal even if I am your supervisor and I flirt with you sometimes.”

“Supervisor? You’re not my boss. Skinner is.”

“Yes, Skinner is our boss. But he asked me to evaluate you, because, well… I’m department head.”

Scully looked confused.

“But… it’s just because we work together day-to-day and he’s not in the loop on everything we do. I’m sure when you’re due, Skinner will ask me to evaluate you.”

He sighed. She was so young sometimes.

“Scully… he did my evaluation a few weeks ago. Did he ask you any questions about my performance?”

Her face fell.

“No.”

“Exactly. Because… maybe it’s because I’m the department head, or I’ve been in the bureau longer, or just good old fashioned chauvinism, but I have… power here. And I want you to know I don’t plan on abusing it.”

She looked strangely disappointed at what he’d said. Maybe what he was doing was just digging him deeper.

“I suppose I should be thanking you,” she muttered.

“It’s just… I’ve been on the other side of things. Not sexually. But bosses, supervisors, older men demanding things from me. Being in positions where I felt I had to comply and get my knees dirty— metaphorically — to keep my job. And I would hate if you felt like you had to put out, or had to flirt with me here.”

“I don’t flirt with you because I have to. I… like flirting with you. It’s fun. Haven’t you been having fun?”

“Of course I’m having fun. But… I don’t plan on going there.”

She nodded, looking at the ground.

“And hopefully you know that’s nothing to do with you not being wonderful or attractive. It’s just—”

“You have power. And you don’t plan on abusing it.”

“Exactly. You get it.”

She was silent. 

“And what if…” she mumbled.

She raised her eyes to his and cleared her throat to speak more loudly.

“What if I want you to?”

S2E6: Ascension

Case: Part two of our three part (+ one fever dream) arc begins with a very Will Graham-esque "this is my design" bit with Mulder visiting Scully's apartment, which has now become a crime scene. (Ik X-Files predates Hannibal, it's just what it reminded me of, leave me alone. Plus, Red Dragon predates X-Files by over a decade, soooo) 

Anyway, Scully has been kidnapped by Duane Barry, oopsie daisy! He needs someone to take his place for the next abduction, and he has selected Scully for the job. Good thing Mulder and Krycek are on the case and manage to get her home safe and sound before the end credits roll!

Or... maybe actually they do the opposite of that.

Mulder gets progressively scruffier throughout the episode and nearly kills himself and Krycek on the road bc he hasn't been sleeping since Scully got kidnapped; Scully loses her necklace for the first, but CERTAINLY not last time; Mulder and Krycek take a couple's vacation to a ski resort and Mulder holds a tram operator at gunpoint for suggesting that the tram is "not safe"; Krycek messes up his carefully slicked back hair while pistol whipping the tram operator and then fails to murder Mulder in what may or may not end up being just one of many assassination failures in his pathetic assassin career; Scully is taken by "THEM!" (whoever they are); Duane Barry is dead and the military performs the autopsy bc "there wasn't an FBI pathologist available this morning" (☹️); and Assistant Director Skinner apparently has had the power to reopen the X-Files this whole time??

Does someone die in the cold open: No, but Mulder does do the worst consoling job ever by approaching Scully's mom with Scully's blood on his outstretched hand and then staring blankly at her when she asks where her daughter is.

Does Mulder present a slideshow: This man should not be operating any sort of heavy machinery be it a car, a tram, or an early 1990s projector. (Of the three, though, the only one he doesn't operate during this episode is the projector.)

Does the evidence survive the investigation: Loooool. Nah. Scully's gone, Duane Barry is dead, Krycek has disappeared, and Mulder is left with nothing but some overgrown stubble, scruffy hair, and a worsening of his already substantial insomnia problem.

Whodunit: THEM!!! (Aliens? The shadow government? Both? Neither? Who's to say?)

Convictions: Oh hon. You had to have known Duane Barry was never getting out of this alive, right?

Did they solve it: I am going to go with "no, but." No, but Mulder (and Skinner) are at least aware that they have been massively screwed over, and so Skinner reopens the X-Files in retaliation, and I'll consider that a leveling up. You may have lost all your evidence, almost got framed for murder (tho tbf you did strangle the shit out of him), and got your only real friend in the world abducted by aliens/the shadow government/THEM, but at least you got your special files back, Mulder! I'm sure the first X-Files case you take on after their reopening will be very important, and not one that is just a fourteen year old emo kid's wet/fever dream fantasy...

But, ah, you know what? I'm getting ahead of myself. Ad break! 

[how do i determine if a case is solved? check the scale here: x]

THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY: Quitting your job and disconnecting your home phone number. Are you currently leading a double life, pretending to be someone you're not in order to gain the trust of someone you intend to royally fuck over for your bosses in the shadow government? Have you completed your mission and are ready to move onto bigger and better* things? Well, then that means it's time for you to try quitting your job and disconnecting your home phone number! Don't worry, it's the 90s, you don't have a cell phone with a tracker on it, nobody will be able to find you. Go live your life, free as a bird. I mean, at least for now... *We do not guarantee that the things you move onto will be bigger, and we CERTAINLY don't guarantee that the things you move onto will be better. In fact, they might be worse. There's actually a high likelihood that they will indeed be worse. But don't worry about that right now. Everything is going to be probably possibly maybe just fine.
