#I’M AT EP 125

The Magnus Archives x Arcane AU -Viktor Novak

Tagging @pyrose since they’ve helped make this AU

The Institute is looking into a new fear emerging amongst recent statements… a sort of amalgamation of many fears into one and its distorting its way into this universe…

Jayce’s sheet will be next. ❤️

THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES IMPRESSIONS: EP 125 - 129

EP 125: Civilian Casualties

Help Jon actually making the sound effects?? Again, I don’t have too much to say about this statement. Oh Melanie is actually going to kill them for taking out a bullet without her knowing. This was definitely one of Jon’s much worse and horrible ideas oml. I get the intention but man if I woke up to that, especially after everything I’d been through I don’t think I could forgive them, that’s such an invasion of privacy.

EP 126: Sculptor’s Tool

Wasn’t Sannikov land the place where Gertrude was taking Michael? Yup yeah it was. Man I get why Jon did it because he just can’t lose anymore people but goddd you should’ve just tried talking to her first. Martin being affectionate with the tape recorder aw. POWER? Y’all… What kind of ritual are y’all planning on putting my boy through?? Oh? Dekkar guy is back? Y’all I’m confused again I have a hard time keep track of characters :’)

EP 127: Remains To Be Seen

Von Closen? hmmm? This time I’m going to choose to believe these statements are left by Peter Lukas or Martin. Very out of character for Martin but idk it could be his way of trying to tell Jon what’s going on. Also nooo literally everyone close to Martin is dropping like flies and he’s being isolated by the avatar (?) for the lonely like goddamn someone (Jon) needs to help him. I think it’s really funny how Jon’s spirit has somehow attached itself to tape recorders and so they just randomly pop up and start recording bits that might be important for him lmao.

EP 128: Heavy Goods

Did he just deliver Daisy’s corpse. Y’all. OH WHAT THE HELL DID JON DO?????? HE TOOK THE STATEMENT HIMSELF????? BREEKON AND HOPE BACKSTORY??? DAISY ISNT DEAD??? There’s no way she stays in there because her character arc isn’t finished

EP 129: Submerged

JON AND MARTIN!!! did Jon just teleport what was that? JON TOLD MARTIN HE MISSED HIM????? I really like the rainy vibe of this statement. Oh nevermind I infact do not like the rainy vibe of this statement! Don’t got too much else to say

[wolfytae-exe]

hi cici! ive read your guidelines but if this is weird or it makes you uncomfortable please disregard this. we've been talking earlier about yandere aus,

and i just wanna talk about how hueningkai can fit a deranged obsessive yandere man. i thought of that when i first watch to do ep 125-126, where they played hide and seek. he was laughing manically while chasing the members it gives me chills tbh. i can just imagine him laughing like that while chasing you when you tried to escsape him. he also has the smile and gaze that fits the concept in my opinion

when i think of yandere kai I think of Hate concept thursdays child kai. just the way he looks angry and possessive screams murder and i love it sm.

Yandere kai is so slept on speaking he’s so sweet irl, the idea of him playing a sweetheart and under the surface he’s a psycho killer good god i might start writing a bunch of kai fics if i’m not careful

BTS Tutorial: Billboard Charts

So how does charting work when it comes to Billboard?

Hey, fam. Let’s get into it.

First off, this information mostly pertains to folks living in the United States or Puerto Rico. If you live elsewhere, you’ll want to pay attention to the rules for your own country and concentrate on helping the boys chart on Hanteo and GaOn (Circle) charts so they can win awards in Korea.

Second, did you know there’s more than one Billboard chart to focus on?

The first chart is Billboard Hot 100. This is the music industry standard.

This chart is focused on singles. They track how well the singles do for 1 week (from when it drops on Friday night until the following Thursday.) The chart usually updates by the following Tuesday morning.

Streaming is the most dominant factor, but sales and radio play also are important.

Jimin is releasing singles for FACE and we want them to chart well, so if you can afford it, it’s important that you pre-order the digital singles for “Set Me Free Pt.2” & “Like Crazy” at the official BTS store.

(The single CD for “Like Crazy” is also available for pre-order if you can swing that!) You can buy those things here and they will count for the charts:

If you have Amazon Prime, it’ll let you connect to your account and you can pay for it that way—super convenient.

Now hear me out: If you can’t afford it, that’s okay. Don't stress out.

Please save up to buy the album on iTunes and Amazon, if you can do that, and either way, just be prepared to work your butt off streaming the singles online. (I will be posting a mini-tutorial on streaming soon).

But don't neglect the singles. Hot 100 very much matters.

The second chart is Billboard 200. Getting BTS members on this chart at least is a matter of honor.

This chart is focused on albums and EPs.

Roo, what is an EP? I’m glad you asked!

EP stands for Extended Play. It’s for mini albums, like FACE, that typically have 6 or fewer tracks and run less than 30 minutes. For EPs, it’s great to stream the songs in the order of the original tracklist, so all songs have an equal chance to chart.

LP stands for Long Play. That refers to a traditional album with 6 or more songs (sometimes more than 12!) that run longer than half an hour.

Of note, we saw photos posted on social media in 2022 of Jimin working with a bunch of artists and producers who do not seem to be featured on the mini-album FACE. It is therefore possible (I am not making promises) that he might have plans to release an LP later. Let’s keep an eye out.

Anyway, back to Billboard 200.

This one is a big one and we simply must help Jimin to place well here. In order to make the chart, Billboard tracks pure sales, and something called SAS (streams and sales) which combines TEA, SEA, and SES.

What is up with the alphabet soup, Roo? Again, so glad you asked.

TEA stands for Track Equivalent Albums. In this case, 10 tracks = 1 album.

SEA stands for Stream Equivalent Albums. If you cannot buy the album, you need to stream your guts out. As far as I can tell, the following formula still holds true:

--1,250 streams from a premium stream (such as a Spotify Premium account) = 1 album/unit sale. --3,750 streams from an ad supported stream (such as a free Spotify account) = 1 album/unit sale.

So if you sign up for a free trial for Spotify before FACE comes out, your streams will count 3 TIMES AS MUCH as a free account’s efforts.

And you need to stream 1,250 times for it to count as an album sale. Please be ready to have a device devoted solely to FACE streaming nonstop for a week.

SES stands for Stream Equivalent songs. Here’s the formula for that:

--125 streams from a premium stream (such as a Spotify Premium account) = 1 song unit. --375 streams from an ad supported stream (such as a free Spotify account) = 1 song unit.

Like Hot 100, Billboard 200 tracks from Friday night through to Thursday night and posts results the following Tuesday.

Finally, there’s something called Billboard Global 200.

This includes world-wide songs counted in 200 different territories. The chart tracks both streams and downloaded sales.

A note about digital sales: it’s not enough to just buy. Once you buy, you gotta DOWNLOAD IT onto your device or it won’t count.

Also please note that streams only count from official sources (subscriptions and ad-supported platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music). Playing your digital copy on WeVerse does not count for Billboard.

By the way, did you know YouTube has a Music platform for charting, beyond just watching the official music video on regular YouTube? Check out YouTube Music and get familiar with it!

Now this is important so please pay attention.

Do not use a VPN when you are trying to chart something. VPN hides your IP address, which makes you look like a bot or a non-US/PR user, and that disqualifies your efforts. TURN OFF YOUR VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK WHEN YOU STREAM.

I found all these very helpful explanations around Billboard Charts from this source (all credit to them):

Please note, however, that much of their info came from 2021 so I’m not exactly sure it’s all still accurate. As I learn more, I will update. If you know of better info, please comment or DM me so I can update this post!

Feel free to reblog or share this post with others so we can spread the word and share the techniques.

Be on the lookout for mini-tutorials coming soon on how to stream on different platforms. We have a whole month to practice until FACE drops and you really do need time to get used to switching between accounts and figuring out the best playlist techniques.

Stay strong, Jimin stans! By March 24th we will be in good shape and as prepared as possible to help our IT BOY. He's worked hard for us, now it's our turn.

[miranda-mundt-art]

Miranda!! I’m just coming here to say how much I love Muted and LoveBot. I think I’m gonna reread all of Muted soon bc I miss my babies.

I have a question though! And maybe it’s obvious and I missed it, but are Raum and Avaline together??

I consider them to be ~

I don't think they really got together during the course of the series I imagine it as something that came up later after Avaline has time to put her thoughts in order about what she wants in life. I'd wager it more likely became official after they go on the trip in Ep 125

(Also thank you for reading!!!!!!)

What I Watched This Week – 12/4-12/10

Lycoris Recoil - Being a veteran of the great 2021 Wonder Egg Priority debacle, I was hesitant to watch this original featuring cute girls doing violent things while it was airing, because I didn't want to get attached to something that was gonna twist its ankle and catch fire on the landing. In the months since it aired, I didn't hear any horror stories, so I figured it was safe. I can definitely see why this was as popular as it was. The visuals are sparkling - not only is it animated well, but the character designs pop and all the action scenes are framed perfectly - and the sound design is fantastic, giving all the gun and explosion sounds the appropriate feel. However, I can't help but come away with the feeling that this was an 8/10 anime carrying a story that is a 6/10 at best. There's just multiple points that completely crumble if you think about them for five minutes, there's a jaw-droppingly stupid episode centered on the girls' underwear, and I just categorically reject the suggestion that summarily executing criminals would keep crime low or that the organization tasked with carrying out these killings would be the good guys in a story. 7/10

No.6 - I dithered so long on watching this because I wasn't sure if it had a tragic ending, which I don't enjoy watching, that the license expired and it fell off streaming. I finally decided that I wanted to watch something with two guys who kiss that isn't a BL or a romance more than I wanted to avoid the risk of a tear-jerker. It's interesting that I decided to watch this the same week I watched Lycoris Recoil, because the settings were fairly similar in their overbearing police state and government manipulation of information. I definitely preferred how this series made it explicitly clear that the government was both completely in the wrong, and not keeping crime down at all with its murderous policies. Both of our main characters are victims of the system, one a criminalized underdog, the other a fallen elite, and they set out together to fight the city in their own way. I haven't read the novel or the manga, but I have to assume that adapting nine volumes in eleven episodes condensed the story quite a bit, which might explain why the final episodes in particular felt like a speed run. I still really enjoyed the characters, the setting, and the ideas behind the story despite the rushing in parts. 7/10

Gintama Ep.101-125 - I was already down pretty bad for Sougo, but somehow the Shinsengumi Crisis arc made me love him even more. Like, trigger-happy sadist Sougo who is always trying to murder his boss is highly entertaining, but sword-wielding "I'm not stuck in here with you, you're stuck in here with me" Sougo on that train car is the sort of thing I watch shounen anime for. I also enjoyed the Monkey Hunter episodes, where everyone met up in the video game to get back at the aliens who turned their body parts into different kinds of screwdrivers. I'd love to see the brainstorming meeting that idea fell out of.

[nikkiwriteswords]

Hi! I would love to hear your thoughts/predictions/hopes for s3, now that we got the episode titles :D

Hey Nora!! Let me go grab my tua theory hat real quick. Spoiler alert, it looks exactly like the umbrella hat on the 3 right here:

Full disclosure, I've only got like a pinky toe in the tua fandom right now, but I'm still going to see what BS I can spin from these titles.

1. MEET THE FAMILY. The description on imdb is "The siblings get to know some more of the 43 children in an alternate timeline." So, I think this is pretty self-explanatory. Netflix likes to start things off with a bang, so s3 of TUA will probably be no different: we'll probably get a vague flashforward/flash-sideways to a "what if" scenario that will make sense by the last few episodes, and the rest of the episode will be sowing seeds for the s3 plot. The big question is, what family are we meeting? I think this episode will revolve around themes of family (no-brainer) and redefining the relationships between our Umbrella siblings in light of the season 2 finale, as well as their new Sparrow 'replacements'. To that end, initial Sparrow sibling parallels will be presented and subsequently complicated in this first episode. I also predict we'll see varying reactions to this alternate Reginald, as the Umbrella siblings are thrust into an outsider perspective that follows on from season 2.

2. WORLD'S BIGGEST BALL OF TWINE. This is going to be a multi-layered metaphor. I can feel it. It will no doubt refer to the plot that's about to unfold (is it an outside threat to both parties - the Umbrellas and Sparrows - from, say, the Commission, or is it more to do with the two rival Academies?), but I wonder if it also refers to the Wizard of Oz type scenario the Umbrella siblings find themselves in: they aren’t in Kansas anymore. (But you know what is in Kansas? The world's current biggest ball of twine.) Also kind of want to see Klaus knitting again in this ep - perhaps as a way to subtly re-address his ongoing addiction issues, especially now Ben is gone.

3. POCKET FULL OF LIGHTNING. This probably has to do with powers. Sparrow powers, Umbrella powers. There'll be a lot of new flexes in this season, so who this refers to is anyone's guess.

4. KUGELBLITZ. Here's where it starts to get interesting, because this title carries forward the subject of lightning from the last one. According to a very quick internet search, kugelblitz literally means "ball lightning" in German, and refers to both a) a glorified WW2 tank designed to take out aircraft (a certified Big Boi), and b) a theoretical black hole made from light/radiation rather than matter. So this is absolutely going to be a new, unseen power - probably from the Sparrows. Hopefully from Christopher because a cube executing a move named after a sphere just makes me chuckle. Ah, fun with shapes... But in addition, this power is probably going to pack a huge, debilitating punch to whatever narrative is underway at this point in the plot. I'll bet money that whoever wields this power is the tank character in their party or they are after this at least.

5. KINDEST CUT. This throws me back to the barber shop meta, I'm not gunna lie. Someone's going to get hurt, either physically or emotionally, and it's going to be the lesser of two evils. If it's a follow through on the barber metaphor, then Reggie will be the one to orchestrate it. Or, in a surprise twist, will he be the one gTetting hurt or being silenced? (Remember that cutthroat allegory that chases the siblings through the first season, particularly Allison and Klaus. It was about becoming voiceless.) 6.MARIGOLD. Big shout out to this post for spreading the word on the marigold symbolism. I'm pretty sure this will be Reginald backstory, which ties in with the creation of the Umbrella Academy. Also, because I'm a sucker for flower symbolism and reading into things, consider that marigolds:

a) fall into two families, the calendula which means "little clock" and the tagetes, which is named after the Etruscan prophet Tages. The Etruscans believed heavily in predestination - some events are set in stone, and cannot be changed. (Consider the way the apocalypse seems to always come for one set of siblings...) b) are named as such colloquially because they were offered in place of money to the Virgin Mary. (More divine imagery, and reference to a pure mother figure...) They are Mary’s gold. So maybe it’s a reference to Reginald’s wife, which would fit with the flashback scene we see in 1x10.  c) are a flower of duality. They have strong connections with the sun and resurrection, yet the marigold is thought to be a flower of grief because it blooms in autumn. Again, think about that flashback in the first season. At the end of the world and a wife dying, there was the promise of rebirth. d) It's also a very common flower. Remember, there's actually 43 siblings out there. We've only met 14.

Also Netflix loves to do this thing around the halfway point (usually episode 5/6) in a season they're producing. They'll switch up the narrative with a twist or turn that provides a new perspective. 7.AUF WEIDERSEHEN. Once again, a German connection. And, obviously, a goodbye. Considering the last season focused on Kennedy, are we going to get some earlier Cold War time-travel shenanigans? Or maybe WW2? I think Blackman has said something about the Berlin Wall, which is interesting. A country divided... Umbrellas and Sparrows allegory? But as an aside, I'm also kinda lowkey hoping it's a nod to Auf Weidersehen, Pet. If you don't know the show, here's the wiki summary for the first season:

Auf Wiedersehen, Pet is a British comedy-drama television programme about seven British construction workers who leave the United Kingdom to search for employment overseas. They find work on a German building site in Düsseldorf but despite promises of hostel accommodation, are forced to live in a small hut that reminds them of a World War II POW camp. The rest of the series is driven by the interactions and growing friendships between the various characters.

In episode seven, three of the “Magnificent Seven” visit an intercontinental hotel. Just saying. If s3 was to go this route, my money would be on Luther, Diego and Five getting up to shenanigans in this one. I miss 125 shenanigans.😢

8.WEDDING AT THE END OF THE WORLD. Honestly, I’m holding out hope that one of our fave siblings gets married. I feel like that’s a trap though... Actually I feel like it might actually be a trap. As in, this is when the rising action really kicks it up a notch. But also remember the title of 1x01: We Only See Each Other At Weddings and Funerals. Maybe the siblings get split up, possibly in episode 3/4, and they’re trying to reunite through episodes 5-7. Also thinking about hotels and apocalypses...  There’s something very fatalistic about these titles so far. I have a feeling that the B-plot or the subtext is going to reveal a lot more about Reginald’s history and the destruction of his world.

9. SIX BELLS. This makes me think of church bells, which is some nice continuity with the wedding of the last title. But church bells are rung for all sorts of reasons - as a call to worship, or in celebration or mourning, or to tell the time. (Thinking back to those marigolds suddenly.) But why six? Now I’m thinking of bell ringing (change ringing), and the way different bells have different cord lengths to control the time of their chimes. It’s a highly mathematical process. Will this episode be Five’s time to shine? Will he coordinate his siblings through a large attack? 10. OBLIVION. Does anything even need to be said about this one? Hotel Oblivion baby ✌✌ Any further theorising would require more knowledge of the coming plot tbh.

Edit: I wrote most of this at 2am, so I’ve just tidied it up a little. Thank you for the ask, Nora! This was fun to think about. 

[drunkkenobi]

Been a minute since a spreadsheet update, so here we go!

First up, Top 5 Beatdown’s season ended without any of them truly popping off the way Fast Food Chains did, but the Rhett and Link episode did well and had fun energy, so hopefully those two channels will collab again. Plus, you never know with this show, the way the algorithm works.

Puppet History is halfway through it’s third season and doing very well! The premiere trended all weekend and it got up to 14, which I think may be the highest a Watcher video has ever trended, but I don’t know that for sure. It had the best non-TMS opening weekend of any Watcher ep too! 

Eps 2 and 3 are right in line with season 2′s opening numbers as well. PH is so consistent for them, it’s great. Past episodes are up all across the board, as well. The holiday special is up 85k views since s3 premiered and Policarpa is almost at 1 million views. And the Dancing Plague is closing in on Top 5 Fast Food to be the most watched Watcher video period. I won’t be surprised if that happens in the next couple of weeks. Always nice when a current show boosts an older show, imo.

I debated whether to track the livestream panel from a couple weeks ago about Asian Hate Crimes because it’s such a serious and important issue that I didn’t want to trivialize it in any way, but I’m glad I did because it’s great to see so many people watching it. Sure, it’s lower than a regular video might do, but that’s still a decent chunk of viewers for an hourlong panel discussing really important stuff. I’m happy to see it.

Watcher’s had a few more videos hit 1 million recently, including Are You Scared of Your Roommate?, TMS Holiday episode 1, and Weird and/or Wonderful World’s Soda episode. It’s nice that so many Watcher videos have hit a million now that it’s not as notable, you know? It’d be great if they could all get there opening weekend, of course, but I think the channel is growing nicely, especially amid the world as it’s been for a goddamn year.

And lastly, Watcher is currently at 1.14 million subscribers and has 72,459,259 views over ~125 videos, which averages to an average  of 579,674 views per video, which is up from 533k per video from when I last recorded this stat in January. Yay!

That’s it from me, I think. As always, hit me up for any questions or observations you might have.

Just finished 508 Defend In Place. I have a couple of thoughts at the moment. I’ll probably have more to say later once the ep percolates a bit more in my head.

The fandom exploded over the buddie baby rescue before the ep even aired so I won’t really touch that. I’ll just echo what a few others have said: in bobby’s words, kids are like having your heart walking around outside your chest and we got buddie front and center saving all those tiny adorable hearts. Together.

One thing that stood out in the ep is that eddie’s tough exterior is cracking more obviously. It’s not surprising or unexpected at this point given his downward spiral over the course of the season but still noteworthy. It was the kids that he thought he couldn’t help that got to him. That could speak to eddie’s overwhelming sense of responsibility to save christopher from him. Buck felt the same way as eddie about the kids they couldn’t help but was able to carry on in that moment and towed the usual party line that we see in the thick of a grizzly save: stow it and save the next person in need. That could indicate what buck is going to have to do at least initially in order to help eddie dig himself out of the dark place he’s in.

The other scene that got me thinking was the reflection scene. Eddie’s realization about the reversed image combined with the fact that the person needing saving didn’t know where he was seemed important. Buck helped with the rescue and was off screen in the background when eddie figures out the issue so I’m thinking it was symbolic that neither of them quite knows where they are and neither is seeing things clearly (for themselves or each other). Also, they need to take each other’s perspective and/or change their viewpoint a bit.

It also seemed meaningful that the mirrored reflection eddie used to figure out what was going on was 118 reflected backwards in his own helmet. It could indicate that the firefam isn’t the family he needs to be focused on at the moment but rather the family that’s “got his back” inside and outside of the firefam aka buck, who’s standing right behind him in the scene but isn’t visible in the fractured (3 separate mirrors all showing different images) and reversed reflection. Or maybe stop using work as a cover to avoid emotions. In the middle of a rescue it makes sense to do that but not outside of work. It’s also interesting that buck and eddie think the fire has taken the kids but they’re wrong. Once they realize the issue they have a second chance to make a family whole again. But they have to see things/figure them out first. I think that speaks directly to buddie issues right now.

There’s maybe more to these points I think but my brain isn’t working rn bc I’m tired and haven’t let the ep sink in fully yet. I may have more coherent thoughts later.

UPDATE: Here are my slightly more coherent thoughts.

Can’t stop thinking about how eddie had literally just taken a bullet in 414 and was still calmly nodding at buck’s pleas for him to hang on (i’m actively ignoring the blood loss of course) as compared to one mundane suit fitting with a*a in 501 and he was gripped with palpable terror.

VERSUS

**Let’s not even talk about the way Eddie turns to make eye contact with Buck, to anchor himself**

Eddie looked shocked when he got shot but not quite afraid. He only looked truly scared while he waited for Buck’s answer to his question.

Buck: I’m leaving the 118.

Eddie: Uh, no. Now sit down and eat your peas you beautiful idiot.

As eddie and buck get closer to making full-on official buddie a canonical reality, the show can do one of two things:

Develop a queer past for one or both of them, creating a history of past same-gender crushes, sexual partners, and/or queer desires that originated earlier in their respective lives

OR

Acknowledge that something completely new and unexpected is taking root between them. Be revolutionary and say loudly that developing attraction to someone of the same gender can happen slowly, unexpectedly, and beautifully. Proclaim that matters of the heart and body are still a mystery to human beings and we know more about the demands of culture and society than we really do about the creative/generative potential of the human heart when allowed to fully flourish in trust and love unlimited by simple shit like what the GA thinks it means to be queer

I really want buddie to be about their evolving queer PRESENT rather than some deterministic queer past that the producers think is necessary to validate their emerging queerness! NO. Sometimes queer shit happens, and it happens right here right now bc two people found each other unexpectedly and against the odds. Sometimes just sometimes there is no deep dark savagely avoided queer past, or even a happily embraced queer past. Queerness is real and complex and deep and beautiful and very frickin’ NOW.

Eddie Diaz and Evan Buckley deserve a queer story that doesn’t demand that they have queer receipts. Obviously many of us queer folks have an abundance of said receipts but some don’t and their queerness is no less valid or beautiful or worthy of being in the narrative.

Honestly the closeted queer past is already represented in the narrative (Michael) as is the out and proud queer past (Hen). What the story is missing is the no big queer past, just an unexpected queer present (Buddie).

Don’t get me wrong tptb could totally tell buck and eddie’s story as a prior knowing that they are queer and that would be realistic and valuable to the narrative. If they do that then it’s about not figuring out they’re in love with each other until now/recently. But I wont lie, the queer love just happens narrative is compelling af to me and it’s what I’d prefer.

Still I’m a sure thing lol and am literally down for ANY affirming buddie origin story at the end of the day.

Buck and Eddie were out on the balcony together for the first time on screen because they are in “new territory” together. Well on their way to official canon buddie territory. Pls discuss
