HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPOOKY MONTH!!

due to the current placement of the earth's orbit around the sun, I will now resort to sneaking up on my brother small children and screaming as a form of entertainment and a natural source of child-like wonder.

oooh how do u like it??? any fav eps so far? :3 (@oingomyboingos​)

ok days late but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. i am just about done s3 and im LOSING my MIND i think i’ve gone a grand total of one (1) day without listening to it since I started and that’s only because i ran out of episodes downloaded and was without network connection.

when I started listening to it i had no idea what it was going to be like or what it really was at all; I just knew that it had been recommended to me a number of times and i needed something to listen to on a flight so. for the first few episodes i was really excited to have an anthology-style story and was actually a little disappointed in some ways when it turned out to be serialized instead BUT. but they have done it so masterfully. i think i’m just used to some pieces that don’t handle the integration of anthology type intros to serialization more clumsily, and I was absolutely delighted at the result.

Favourite episodes is. difficult to capture. i need to babble about this show and my thoughts on it so you’re going to get a long list separated by category of “why i like it” 

I just think they’re neat

007—The Piper

I love me some WW1 fiction. Where’s the post about the difference between WW1 and WW2 nerds and why you need to watch out. I fall into the first category and have fallen out of my warboy interests in recent years (thank god, for separate reasons) but still really really enjoy it. love Wilfred Owen’s poetry and putting it side by side with Otto Dix pieces. also this fits into the “foreshadowing done EXTREMELY well” and i adore it

###—Spider Episodes

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA i hate spiders. when i was four years old i nearly walked facefirst into the web of a saint andrew’s cross spider that was at perfect eye level, and i was stopped, and they’re not even particularly venomous, just like a bee sting really, but it scared the shit out of me so i have grievances with the fact that this podcast manages to be so good that i’m not even mad about all of the spider stuff in it

048—Lost In The Crowd

This one isn’t for any particular reason of plot or anything, though it’s very good, it just happens to overlap with one of my research interests which is uhh. we’ll summarize it as nonplaces and their ability to entrap. the title feels like a very deliberate reference to edgar allan poe’s short story “The Man of the Crowd” which informed Baudelaire’s essay The Painter of Modern Life which (among many other things) informed Benjamin’s works in general and especially his Arcades Project and all of this goes forwards to Marc Auge and his work on nonplaces and that fits into theories of Agamben’s regarding elements of normalized space stuff and that’s all tangential to the fact that I just felt very validated in recognizing that and also enjoyed the story. i know too many australians who’ve gone on backpacking tours.

051—High Pressure

[leonardo dicaprio pointing image]

065—Binary

this also just fits into a lot of. i just love people who talk about tech like this. creepypasta aside i really love the opening to this.

085—Upon the Stair

[leonardo dicaprio pointing image] listening to how jon pronounces antigonish was extremely funny to me because he says an-TIH-goh-nish and every local i know who says it doesn’t actually enunciate it, it just becomes “annegunish” without any actual accenting or emphasis so that was amusing. end thoughts on that one.

AAAAAAAAA PLOT

033—Boatswain’s Call

chilling. excellent. love maritime horror. nothing more to say yet except that i don’t know how it factors into everything else and am excited to find out.

053—Crusader

need i say anything. aaaaa. love gertrude right now. love this statement. delightful stuff. properly setting everything up. love the historical integration.

080—The Librarian

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

089—Twice as Bright

i love jude perry. scares the shit out of me.

092—Nothing Beside Remains

oh dear. oh no. oh god. i desperately don't know whether or not to trust elias. jon is an idiot and his judgement is bad and iffy. i'm so bad at avoiding spoilers but i'm doing my best but oh my god they're all so fucked.

Tropes I adore (fanfic style)

really it’s just that i’m a sucker for any stories involving whump/angst/hurt(maybecomfort) and this podcast is rife with opportunities and examples for that

053—Crusader (again)

martin’s worry about jon with the bread knife :(

079—Hide and Seek

same thing. a heavier note but. aaaa. the writing for jon’s paranoia and the surrounding responses to it is so very good and the buildup was done so well. tim’s anger is extremely rational and i want to give him a hug. martin’s sympathy and jon’s exhaustion are also extremely understandable. the opening to this episode hurt because the impression i got from it was just. they’re going down to try to find and save/stop jon, and while tim is focused on jon hurting someone else, it reads to me like martin was worried that jon was directly suicidal and going into the tunnels to die, rather than just “going to do something stupid and get hurt in the process”, and Tim’s tunnel vision (again, not wholly unfounded) blinding him to both that possibility and martin’s worries. also, martin needs a pay raise and for his coworkers to get very long vacations and also workplace therapy.

I Relate To Jon Too Much

this isn't a particular episode but just i need to scream about it. this came at just the right/wrong time, because i very much am feeling the same as jon on a professional level. that is to say, i took a job that was supposed to be simple numbers tracking and has turned into a massive investigative project. i have zero training or experience with document and data preservation, or finances, and so hearing georgie say "well it makes sense that you're the head archivist because then no one can or has told you you're doing everything wrong" was WILD because that's literally the exact situation i find myself in. it's covering business law, accounting and finance, investigative journalism/reporting, and now document and data preservation and investigation. also i am very bad at taking care of myself when i get very deep into a project and am also used to having people come in and drop tea on my desk to try to help. i big time feel jon using a tape recorder too because whether or not that's actually anything remotely normal in archival work or just the framing device beyond realism, i've recently been understanding the extent of my visual burnout/aversion and am realizing just how much it affects me. it is much easier for me to dictate things to someone to type than it is for me to type them, and I can type at a hundred wpm; it's just easier on my brain. right now i'm trying to pull together some combination guide book/changeover manual/project outline/complete history, and in reality this thing should be 50k words minimum with the stuff i need to put in it, but as soon as i have to type it i freeze up, but if i speak it or dictate it (or speak it and then type it out myself later) it's leagues more doable. The idea of making audio recordings that function the same way honestly never occurred to me but I might just start doing that because i have a coworker who's offered to transcribe things for me for business purposes and it would be so good. also it just feels nice to talk into a microphone. feels less pointless than talking to air.

in fact this podcast has inspired me to start looking back into possibly pursuing library sciences, because it prompted me to look into the extent to what i am currently doing is more archival than accounting, and that's the part that really has me hooked. i'm currently drafting up a proposal to accompany our next archive submissions for a project-based position with the goal of. like. i have the most knowledge at the moment of anyone on my organization as far as i know? and also just want an excuse to see firsthand more of what it's like.

the other part of things that’s just. aaaaa. is that i’ve. hmmm. maybe this is just something i’ll encounter in further horror media as i’m not really that familiar with it but oh boy does a lot of this hit with life experiences and jobs that i’ve worked and stuff. i used to work as a housekeeper at an uncomfortably fancy and expensive care home for seniors with neurodegenerative diseases and so the ones about care homes are. um. a bit painful on a personal level there because it turns out that’s not a fun place to work. really amplifies the horror because of its familiarity. also, used to work as a funeral attendant and pallbearer and so any of the ones really involving funerals, especially the one by the mortician (again, overlapping care home) was just like. oh yeah i forgot most people don’t. don’t exactly think like this or have day to day exposure to dead bodies. likewise, spent quite a while attending burn clinics for recovery from injuries bc that’s where the plastics department worked most of the time, so while i’m not a burn survivor myself it’s. also very familiar.

this is all to say that oh my god i adore this podcast. it's been ten days since i started listening to it and i don't know already what i'm going to do when i'm done.

Also goddamn you all I’ve started listening to The Magnus Archives
