Well this is underwhelming at best, not even close to getting a row or column

@franklloydweft thanks for the tag! I underlined things that are just kinda true for me and slashed the ones that are definitely true. we should go thrifting.

anyway, its a tag game, here are some people I am tagging: @imaud @nameofkale @barrelsoutofbound @daarchini @suhaylahs @fredersens @icannotreadcursive and @fortunatelyfresco if any of you wanna do this.

man lord of the rings just fills me with such profound sadness its a world that just…… makes me feel whole and hollow at the same time

I think its rly funny that ppl keep saying trexel was probably murdered by his fellow citizen employees while in the escape pod bc a) i feel like trexel is fairly unkillable and b) i was 100% under the impression that everyone was seatbelted to their chairs the entire trip and they were all just shouting angrily at each other the whole way

[barrelsoutofbound]

well, at least one of ben meredith’s characters got to be king of a ruined world

[barrelsoutofbound]

Wild that there's only one episode left of Stellar Firma and none of us have any clue how it'll end. With Magnus we at least had an idea of things that could happen. Will they all die horrible tragic deaths? Entirely possible. Will David 7 join The Board and all hope is lost because he's sold out to the corporate machine? Maybe. Is I.M.O.G.E.N behind everything and actually has a plan for space station domination? I can see it.

I have no idea what's going to happen next week and it's terrifying.

SO. after figuring out i was on point with the whole spectrogram thing i spent like an hour surfing a lot of season 5 AND in mag193 (yk the one with like. elias’s backstory) theres a fucking. eye i guess

[barrelsoutofbound]

u/trizephyr on Reddit found one of the mag200 Easter eggs and it’s the coolest thing ever! Tap for better quality, but there’s a freakin WEB encoded into the audio.

[ID: a screenshot of the spectrogram from episode 200 of the magnus archives. There is a faint spiderweb design visible in the upper right corner that’s been embedded in the audio frequency. end ID]

I implore you to imagine jon panicking during his first interview for research and forgetting elias’ name, only for his brain to get stuck on the first surname that comes to mind in regards to the institute. 

jon: thank you for the opportunity, mr. magnus

jon internally: wait

jonah, experiencing total heart failure as this random traumatized interviewee starts sweating bullets: what did you just call me

[barrelsoutofbound]

new the magnus archives game. which episode was released the closest to when you started listening to tma? i’ll go first. i started after season four finale and by the time season 5 rolled around i was caught up. if you started in season 1 you get a veterans discount

Okay I just started this fic last night and I’m very excited about it. Here’s a line I wrote a couple minutes ago:

Morwen went to visit Telemain, bringing along the last letter Cimorene had sent her.

so that’s 14. Um, unfortunately I don’t really know who all around here writes off the top of my head, or who would actually be interested in participating. So I am tagging 14 people. Feel free to participate or not: @jeffbeckley @jiang-yanlii @cityof-starlight @meowingatthesea @imaud @firetubestuff @helloimtrxsh @franklloydweft @tangentqueenofdragons @dracomalfoythebouncingferret @odos-log @mr-reblogbutton @lovelunarchron @lovelaceisntdead

the stages of grief:

1. denial

2. sick art featuring knives

3. ass

4. retrospective commentaries

5. 'somewhere else'

Hoop for Episode 22, Colony, for @firetubestuff who kindly donated to Food Not Bombs. Thank you!!

"I’ve catalogued and looked into enough of these cases to know that following the noise is always a really, really bad idea, but… I mean… it’s my job, isn’t it? So, I slowly moved towards it, keeping my torch held in front of me like a… like a shield. The beam was so much weaker than I had thought it was, and it only lit up the stark outlines of the shelves and detritus that littered the basement."

Wooorrrmmmss <3 The pictures don't show it well, but the silvery parts of the worms are metallic and shine in the light.

OKAY now that Bathin has been cast here’s my personal ranking of choices (mostly from rq with one [1] exception)  that would be good, bad, and extremely  funny if not the best choice

Good

Frank Voss- objectively has an incredibly sexy voice i mean c’mon go listen to “Underworld Blues” from Ulysses Dies At Dawn and tell me you don’t fall at least a LITTLE in love.  also They Deserve It

Sasha Sienna- His voice is one my favorite voices just in general!!! Also she’s incredibly funny and I would love the energy they would have in stellar firma

Anil Godigamuwe- Me holding up a picture of Anil: I just think he’s neat! Would be especially good for an Over the Top Friendly Bingley-esque himbo Bathin

Bad

Ben Meredith- you already got to play fake bathin!!! Get outta here!!!

Mike LeBeau- imo every podcast VA is allowed one singular character that is canonically described as hot/dreamy/sexy and Mike’s done his already. Also it would go straight to his head and we can’t have that

Alexander Jalexander Newall- No <3

Extremely Funny

Jonny Sims- would be very funny, but also it would be even funnier if Jonny only makes it into Stellar Firma as the uncredited voice of 3 Men Screaming

Just Tim Again- Just Tim Again! I think it’s delightful in podcasts when people yell at themselves while playing two different characters. Bonus if his Bathin voice is just his regular ass voice

The McElroy Brothers Will Be In Stellar Firma Season 3- ideally combined into one voice like that one troll from u know. Trolls (2)

My biggest fear is after tma ends and the current fandom has moved on, new people will spell Jon as John because they're just going off the transcripts

[barrelsoutofbound]

thinking about how the books stamped as from the library of jurgen leitner originally contained the fears in more concentrated forms and brought them into the world

thinking about multiverse theories and Hill Top Road and how maybe the Web used books last time to bind the fears and move them into the TMA universe for them to spread

thinking about how the tapes in TMA’s universe could be the leitners of a future parallel universe

thinking about how the new institute might refer to these horror tapes as from the recordings of jonathan sims

he wouldn’t be a mystery, but everyone would associate his name with horror for the wrong reasons :(
