“Slowly, awfully slowly, it raised its head, tilting it coquettishly to one side. Then the seams across its face split, revealing its gaping maw filled with even larger, sharper teeth. And it boomed playfully: “Bonzo? Bonzo Bonzo?”” - MAGP ep.11 🦷🦷

I despise this wretched beaſt, but I have to admit he has the range 🍽️ 🎀

It’s funny to me that Magnus Archives started out with mostly “normal” ghost stories & held back on the really weird stuff until later seasons, whereas with Protocol we’ve gotten the following in the first twelve episodes:

- Guy Who Murdered His Wife Gets Turned Into a Tree While Running From the Cops

- Man Made of Needles

- Demon Antique Enthusiasts Who Crowd Crush People

- Janitor Runs Away From IRL Timelapse Only to End Up in a Cannibal Restaurant in the Void

- A Guy Just Straight Up Gets Run Over by a Semi Truck

- Knockoff Barney the Dinosaur Shows Up to a Strip Club and Starts Smashing Skulls

Season one Jonathan Archivist Sims will give the most impassioned recitation of some spooky happenings he'll read it with such depth of emotion that you'd think he was there and then be like "end of statement. *sigh* well that was some bullshit."

thinking about how tres horny boys, at the beginning of the crystal kingdom when asked to pick colors for their null suits, all picked shades of red. burgundy, burnt umber, cinnamon

merle (well, clint) asked for burnt umber to be funny without even realizing what color it was

it's hardly a joke, it's hardly touched on, though i'm sure it's more obvious in the graphic novel. but to me it was more shocking than their jokes about living for hundreds of years, of always having their memories, of never forgetting barry bluejeans

they were red because they were always going to be red. because they were red for a hundred years.

Relistening to story and song and then immediately going into the final episode of Amnesty is like. So I just told you a story about how the connections between people and places and moments and ideas and food and music are the most important thing in the world, how they are our weapon against despair and greed. Now here's a story where that's still true! But we have to face up to the reality that the fundamental nature of evil is to justify itself as light, and to the impossibility of defining redemption when there is never any hope of atonement.

It's Lup begging Lucretia not to use the shield spell to cut them off from other worlds and Taako defeating the Hunger by opening up a gateway to the astral plane vs Duck blowing up the connection between two worlds as the last, desperate option to prevent Reconciliation from destroying them both. Taako being told "when you think you have only two paths, you must find a third" vs Duck being left with no choice but to destroy the last survivors of a planet that had faced annihilation multiple times before they succumbed to the horrific decision to kill all other life in the universe to save themselves. The fact that someone created a sword that would be bloodthirsty enough to carry out that act and named it Beacon because the last hope for the universe was violence.

It's not too late! vs but what if it was.

I love Balance but Amnesty has my soul.

griffin mcelroy is so funny because youll see clips of him talking and its always either something like "my names sprite pepsi and im abstinence until i DIE" or its something like "that was the last conversation you ever had with your sister. when someone leaves your life those exits are not made equal. some are beautiful and poetic and satisfying, others are abrupt and unfair, but most are just unremarkable." and theres no in between
