I had the random thought of "what if the archivist in protocol is the Sasha James in their world" ... but idk if that makes sense

[birdcracker]

this is so fucking stupid

[birdcracker]

Drawing i did of odysseus today

[FOOTSTEPS CRUNCH OVER UNEVEN GROUND]

[THE FOOTSTEPS STOP]

MARTIN: Is that...?

ARCHIVIST: The next domain, yes.

MARTIN: What's this one? oh lord it looks like a hospital. It's not another horror hospital is it?

ARCHIVIST: No, well that is to say, this one's a lot less gory.

MARTIN: [suspiciously] what does that mean?

ARCHIVIST: There aren't actually any treatment rooms. It's all waiting rooms.

MARTIN: Waiting rooms?

ARCHIVIST: Filled with people waiting to hear about the condition of their seriously ill loved ones.

MARTIN: Ah.

ARCHIVIST: Yes, that horrible fear that twists their guts every time a nurse or doctor comes through the doors to the hall. Anticipation to finally hear some news waring with the sinking certainly that it will definitely be terrible. [Starting to get going] Most can't even remember who they're here for. A parent? A sibling? Spouse? All they know is-

MARTIN: [urgently cutting him off] Jon! Jon! Not now!

ARCHIVIST: Wha-? Oh... Sorry

MARTIN: At least wait until we actually get there

ARCHIVIST: Of course

MARTIN: Can we try to get through this one quickly, just that description is already bringing back some less than pleasant memories.

ARCHIVIST: Ah, o-of course, I'll do my best. I'm sorry I didn't even think about that, with your mum and all.

MARTIN: Well yes I suppose, but I was more talking about you.

ARCHIVIST: Oh, ah, y-yes, after the unknowing...

MARTIN: And after Prentiss, I thought you and... and Tim might both be dead,

ARCHIVIST: Oh, o-of course. You know that feels like a lifetime ago.

MARTIN: Tell me about it

[PAUSE, FOOTSTEPS]

ARCHIVIST: Were you really that concerned about me after Prentiss?

MARTIN: What!? Of course! Jon you were riddled with worm holes, you looked like minced meat when they pulled you out, not to mention the oxygen deprivation...

ARCHIVIST: Yes, yes, I-I just mean... I was just your boss at that point. Your boss who'd never been particularly, uh, pleasant to you.

MARTIN: Jon, I was completely gone for you the moment you offered to let me sleep on your cot in document storage.

ARCHIVIST: Oh.

MARTIN: I may not have admitted it to myself then but after that I was completely hopeless.

ARCHIVIST: I don't know that I realized you started having... feelings like that so early on.

MARTIN: What? Really? I know you had other things on your mind but I wasn't really that subtle.

ARCHIVIST: I'm not the most observant about that sort of thing.

MARTIN: You've got to see the irony in that.

ARCHIVIST: [dismissively] Yes, yes,

[PAUSE, FOOTSTEPS]

ARCHIVIST: I'm not sure there was a moment like that for me.

MARTIN: What, no sudden miraculous realization?

ARCHIVIST: Well I suppose there was.... [He trails off in obvious embarrassment]

MARTIN: Was what?

ARCHIVIST: [hurriedly] nevermind, it's silly,

MARTIN: No come on, now I have to know.

ARCHIVIST: Martin...

MARTIN: Jon.

ARCHIVIST: Fine! When you lent me your neck pillow.

MARTIN: What?

ARCHIVIST: When I flew to America.

MARTIN: Okaaayyy??

ARCHIVIST: A-a-and I... appreciated it...

MARTIN: [laughing] What so that's all it took? would have been nice to know earlier that the secret way to your heart was a 15 pound Tesco neck pillow.

ARCHIVIST: I-It wasn't just the pillow it was the t-t-though behind it and...

[PAUSE]

MARTIN: Aaannnd...?

[SILENCE]

MARTIN: And what Jon?

ARCHIVIST: [mumbled] nevermind

MARTIN: No, no you don't get to wriggle out of this one, you're blushing too much for me to let this go.

ARCHIVIST: It's n-nothing, it doesn't matter, really Martin...

[ONE SET OF FOOTSTEPS STOP]

MARTIN: Nope, no take backs, I'm not going anywhere until you tell me.

[THE OTHERS FOOTSTEPS STOP]

ARCHIVIST: [exasperated sigh] Come on Martin we don't have time-

MARTIN: [interrupting] aren't you the one who keeps saying time doesn't work anymore?

ARCHIVIST: [trying to put on his stern Head Archivist voice and not quite getting there] Martin you're making a whole production out of nothing, really, this is ridiculous.

MARTIN: [Stubborn silence]

ARCHIVIST: Martin

MARTIN: [Silence continues]

ARCHIVIST: [A sigh even more exasperated than the last]

[THE SOUND OF FEET SHUFFLING UNCOMFORTABLY]

ARCHIVIST: Fine! Fine...

[MORE SHUFFLING]

ARCHIVIST: [mumbled] it... it smelled like you

MARTIN: What? The pillow did?

ARCHIVIST: Yes, a-a-and it was...

[TORTURED PAUSE]

ARCHIVIST: Comforting

[A SOMEHOW EVEN MORE TORTURED PAUSE]

ARCHIVIST: And t-that's when I started to realized how, uh... comforting I found...you

MARTIN: Oh jon

ARCHIVIST: [trying to sound irritated] There are you happy now? You- oof!

[HE'S CUT OFF BY MARTIN PULLING HIM INTO A HUG, FABRIC RUSTLES]

[AFTER A PAUSE THEY PULL APART]

MARTIN: Alright, I'll stop torturing you with questions about feelings.

ARCHIVIST: Thank you

MARTIN: I'm not going to let you forget about this though.

ARCHIVIST: [agonized groan] Martin,

MARTIN: No that little tibbit was too hard won. I'm holding on to it forever.

ARCHIVIST: Alright, alright... you absolute fiend.

[THEY BOTH CHUCKLE]

MARTIN: [sighing] Alright let's get this over with.

[FOOTSTEPS START UP AGAIN]

[birdcracker]

Oh my god it just hit me jmj stands for JONATHAN MARTIN JONAH.

[birdcracker]

Im about to finish Magnus archives. Do i want to listen to Magnus protocol after? Kinda. Am I going to? No. Am I gonna start a new (presumably horror) podcast instead? Yes.

[birdcracker]

Would it be controversial to say the trope of "Someone who thinks they're unlovable" x "Someone who loves them like it's breathing" kind of applies to nensai in some way. Maybe.

[birdcracker]

[birdcracker]

However, despite being out of breath, I still keep up with him. I have to. I don’t know why, but thats what I think. I cannot let this man go.

[birdcracker]

So uh I started listening to the hunger games trilogy on audiobook

Katniss and the mayor's daughter who i can't for the life of me remember the name to

[birdcracker]

the solution to all shipping discourse and shipping wars is multishipping in my eyes. And I am completely correct.

[birdcracker]

after years of being in fandoms, has anyone gone from being super strict about ships (physically shuddering when a character is shipped with someone other than who you ship them with) to becoming a very chill multishipper? like, you think everyone should just date each other now and are just cool with everything? is it just me?
