Your time travel au…does Martin ever show up?

OMG bHAHA i just got off from my daydream about this AU

NONE OF THIS IS REAL OK its just me being delusional,,,!!! and scenes change frequently because idk i love to rework my ideas and live them over and over again,, but feel free to enjoy whatever:

i imagine that the original team comes back eventually, because the memories of their old lives trickle back, and they plan to save jon from ever being promoted.

They work at the institute w their old jobs (Tim and sasha in Research, Martin in the Library) and slowly reveal that they still have their memories intact,, and the friendship between them becomes 10x stronger

The only difference is that jon isn't there when he's supposed to be working in research, and that's because he has a job somewhere else. Elias and gertrude didnt want him near the archives (he always invites trouble LKJDFKJS) and over the years elias has grown protective of his adopted son (and the beholding approves of this anyway so yeah,, their only conflict now is that he can be such a helicopter dad)

so one day in the library while the trio were hanging out there, Gerard shows up and says he needs some books for his boyfriend (jokingly ofc,, he's just bffs w jon) and they help him out

cue jon coming in, covering his face w/ a mask and sunglasses so he wouldn't be recognized by the institute staff that watch him grow up there since he was 8 (because elias instructed to throw him out LMAO). Jon barges in, frustrated at gerry taking so long.

they banter a bit, and the trio somehow recognize the voice of "gerard's bf". Finally gerry introduces him as jon, and all four of them make eye contact. Jon is speechless, slowly reveals himself and stops breathing, but pretends to not know them

sasha is surprised, tim is shocked, and martin is insanely jealous ALKSJDLASDLKFKJ they dont tell him they remember anything tho and jon does the same,,, leading into really awkward and angsty situations

and it follows w random moments such as simon fairchild coming in to visit his "favorite nephew" or elias forcing jon to take his vitamins and sleep early,, maybe agnes and jude hanging out for no reason,, mike crew barging in and reading in his Designated Library Corner,, peter lukas going grocery shopping for whatever health supplement elias wants jon to take,, gertrude being a worse helicopter grandmother to jon,, oliver banks sleeping like the dead next to mike crew in his Designated Library Corner,, mikaele salesa bringing jon random knick knacks....

.... and sasha, martin, and tim just lose their minds over the sheer absurdity of it all LMAASLDJSLF

and ofc martin and jon try to woo each other but believing the other hates them etc (cue misunderstandings and dumbassery)

IT'S DUMB I KNOW but it's just all in my mind leave me alone to cope SKSKSSK

More of this AU here

[violetlovescomics]

gonna be honest as much as i'm excited for augustus and like jonah as a villain, i really wish the third voice was gertrude. i love her and it would also make sense if they had decided to go down that path. imagine if all 3 voices were the 3 main tape users were the computer voices like that would be crazy. anyway still excited for more info on augustus. my other wishes were that it would be oliver or annabelle but it definitely wouldn't be them either.

Interesting. So Sam was at the Talk Art party, a celebration for the podcast his friend Russell Tovey does. Caitriona's dear friend Aisling Bea is also friends with Russell and Robert and was there and celebrating too. And it struck me again how this kind of thing is exactly up Cait's alley, and she knows Aisling and Russell and she's super into art and clearly loves to talk about art/creativity etc. and it always strikes again me how odd it is that SC are not allowed to be seen in public together. They're just "friends" right? Know the same people. Don't friends go to and perhaps hang out at the same events? 🤔

Dear Talk Art Anon,

I suppose you mean yesterday's 5 year celebration of Russell Tovey and Robert Diament's Talk Art podcast, which happened yesterday at the Toklas Restaurant in London (just across the street from King's College, actually). FYI, I think the venue is named after Alice B. Toklas, Gertrude Stein's mustachioed lover. The woman even wrote a cookbook (hashish fudge, anyone?), from which I did try to cook myself, with mixed results.

This should give you an idea of the festive vibe and also the type of crowd in attendance: London glitterati with a marked LGBTQ+ flair and an interesting mix& match (spotted James Corden, too):

I know, I know what the Disgruntled Tumblrettes will say - they still have no clue about the ways of this world and automatically think it's a segregated affair. Not really my fault if their parochial brains are stuck in the Fifties.

You are correct: C's friend, Aisling Bea, was, indeed, there. Such a small world, eh? Always. 😉

And this should immediately fuel further speculation ('who's that girl?'), both chez *urv and Marple. I don't know who the woman is and I honestly think it actually doesn't matter:

And to offer you another question, instead of an answer: over all these years, how come we have seen half a battalion of S&C common friends/acquaintances, but next to 0 of Tait's entourage, which seems to be just about C old friends, many of whom are also friends with S, anyways?

Things that don't even make you go 🤔 anymore.

Very interesting news, indeed. Thank you, Anon. Drop by anytime!

[Later edit, because something crossed my mind right now]: last Tuesday, we did have, as you might know, the third National Day Reception, right at the embassy. My own mum looked on the official FB page and told me she was disappointed I wasn't on any picture. Except I was, half blocked by someone, and she did not see me. Believe what you want, as always.

[l3irdl3rain]

do you ever have problems when you rename your cats? like with them recognizing when youre talking to them? i imagine the tone of voice is a big part of them knowing that, but i'm not 100% sure. i might be taking a family friend's cat and i want to rename her but i'm a bit hesitant because i dont want to confuse her, but i know you rename most if not all of your cats

Most of my cats didn’t have names before going to the shelter because they were strays or something similar. So I just figure it’s not like they had that name long anyways. Merrill, Gertrude, and Chloe were the only exceptions to this.

I also think the difference between cats and dogs is that most people don’t need / expect their cats to come when called. I’ve never really been interested in teaching my cats tricks or anything. So if it takes them a little while to learn their new name it doesn’t matter to me. And like you said, usually your tone matters more than anything. They don’t care if I use my baby voice to call them their new name or their old name, they’re just happy to be getting some attention and love.

It’s my BIRTHDAY and I’m gonna rant about Jonathan Sims. Because I do what I want on my birthday.

A lot of the fandom has a problem with Jon because they think he’s cruel or just overall don’t like him because of how he treats others. But that’s an inherent misunderstanding of the character for the following reasons.

Starting off Jon is *very* clearly autistic coded. He has to be told when things are jokes and doesn’t really seem to understand social interactions (ex: when Tim thinks he’s sleeping with Basira and Jon doesn’t really catch on to what’s being implied). So that in itself very easily explains some of the rude or “cold” behavior going on. He doesn’t do it on purpose. Secondly Jonathan Sims does not give a single flying FUCK about himself. Ever since he was eight years old he’s been hating on himself and he’s lost almost anyone that got close to him or had them hate him for things he can’t control. Both his parents died, it’s explicitly stated his grandmother didn’t try and hide her resentment of having to raise him, and the grown adult that was bullying (beating him) got eaten by a giant spider and no one believed him. So of course he’s naturally closed off and keeps people at a distance. He doesn’t see himself as worthy of good things and he knows something bad will eventually happen. Even his relationship with Georgie that ended *well* still ended in completely cut contact. Thirdly, Jon is not a logic based character. He’s an emotional one. Every choice he makes is based on immediate emotional reactions. He finds out Martin was trapped in his house for a week? Immediately offers him to stay somewhere safe and insists on it. The archives are basically his safe space and the only thing he has and he offers them to Martin without thought. He finds out Sasha was replaced? IMMEDIATELY takes an axe to the thing he thinks did it without considering the consequences. The reason everyone says he’s a worse archivist than Gertrude is because he can’t slow himself down long enough to think of something other than protecting the people he deems more worthy than himself. Even when they treat him like shit which brings me to the next point. EVERYONE in Jon’s life blames him for what is entirely Elias’ fault and/or things they themselves have partaken in. And he thinks he deserves it. Jon is a good man. And a really really hurt one and it makes me a mess every time I think about it. Because he didn’t ever get peace. Another good point I feel like should be brought up is the way people often misinterpret the Jmart dynamic. Martin Blackwood kicks ass. Martin Blackwood is not a soft baby who can do no wrong. Man was down for murder. He was prone to anger and jealousy on a much more intentional front. Which is of course no hate to Martin I love him more than air. But I do think it’s interesting that certain parts of the fandom love to condemn characters for being people with flaws and tend to overlook Martin entirely in that assessment. Anyway! That is all. That is my rant.

TMAGP EPISODE EIGHT I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS

FIRST OF ALL GERRY KEAY OH HOW I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!!! (Also if he is alive what does this mean for other people who died? Are we going to see Michael without the distortion? Mike Crew perhaps? ARE TIM AND SASHA ALIVE???? Is Daisy alive or is she still dead because she died during the eyepocalypse? If she is still dead, did she ever actually exist in the Magnus protocol universe/timeline?)

Gertrude being a mean old bitch as always <3

Sam and Celia going on a field trip :) I hope they fall in love and have a nice domestic life together. I’m sure nothing bad will happen to either of them :)

Also Georgie mention!!! The love of my life I hope we see her and Melanie, I love my podcast sapphics. I’m really hoping we see Basira too if we see Georgie and/or Melanie

Celia is looking into time travel and alternate dimension type stuff. She recognized Jon’s voice. Do the people who were avatars/aware of the fears remember the events of The Magnus Archives??? Or are their memories altered to fit the current timeline? Celia I love you TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW

And what’s this about gifted kids chosen by the Magnus archives???? I really want to know more about this please please please. I am assuming that this has something to do with the trauma Sam experienced and the reason he was hired.

Anyway I’m sure I will have more thoughts but these are just my immediate reactions I’m so excited

Magnus Archives Relisten, MAG 4 Page Turner

Analysis of MAG 4, Page Turner. Spooky book time! Spoilers ahead.

Jurgen Leitner? Stupid idiot motherfucking Jurgen-

Sorry about that got possessed for a second. Anyway, first Leitner statement! Let's get into it while I try to control my rage.

Facts: Statement of Dominic Swain, regarding a book briefly in his possession in the winter of 2012.

Statement Notes: So much in this episode! First Gerry and Mary citing, first Leitner and Mike Crew mention. Crazy how relevant this episode was and we all had no way of knowing.

Starting simple, I would just like to say that as a theatre tech, Swain is so accurate and so real. "Doing a little bit of everything?" Real. Trying to see friends work but you also work at the same time? Real. Work place romance? Real. Not being able to relax when you see a play because you know all the tech stuff that can go wrong? Really real.

What I really loved about Dominic's statement though is the highlight of the ozone smell. He walks all around London with that book, shows it to Mary and Gerard, shows it to friends, and no one else mentions the smell. Yet, when he shows it to his ex Katherine Mendes, she said it "triggered her vertigo." This happens with a lot of the cursed items in the show: they don't have one general effect, but target the specific sources of fear and anxiety in the owner. Katherine apparently gets vertigo often, so The Vast would naturally trigger than height-based stressor. But Swain has a specific fear of lightning and the ozone smell because of what happened to Mike, so torturing him with that smell is the most effective way to cause fear in him.

There's also some really classic cursed object horror going on here that I love. Swain tries to sell the book the whole episode, but calls it "his book" fleeing Mary. Additionally, he says that he thought about giving it away, but felt that "wouldn't count." Very similar to Do Not Open here and a lot of cursed object horror in that there needs to be some kind of debt or reciprocity established rid one of the object.

I also just love the line "walking felt as natural as falling." It really conjures the idea that he can't control himself, that he's stumbling to Mary's shop uncontrollable just as he would fall through the sky: completely unable to stop.

Entity Alignment: Dominic translates "Ex Altiora" as "From Higher" or "Out of the Heights." That's just such insane Vast energy, the idea that whatever the book does to you will spawn from the open empty sky and you won't be able to stop it, just as you'd never be able to stop falling.

Obviously this episode is generally Vast aligned, but that painting of the Eye really freaked me out. "Grant us the sight that we may not know. Grant us the scent that we may not catch. Grant us the sound that we may not call.” This engraving very much encapsulates the point of the Eye and the Archive, and weirdly foreshadows what Jon goes through later. It is essentially saying, "Let me witness the fear and pain of others so that I don't have to experience it myself." Why would Gerry paint this? Especially given that a giant eye gives Elias direct view into his home. What is the goal?

Character Notes: Jurgen Leitner? Stupid idiot motherfucking Jurgen Leitner god damn fool book collecting dust eating-

Sorry what happened I blacked out.

Seriously though, my biggest takeaway about Leitner in this ep is that he doesn't spell his name with an umlaut like others. Why did Jonny include that detail. What does that do for me.

I do love that the only information Swain could find on him was that he lost a bidding war over a book to "GRbookworm1818" who is so obviously Gertrude it's hilarious.

I think it's so weird that Swain couldn't find anything online about him, though. Leitners are clearly around, so wouldn't there be some kind of chat room or reddit post about one? Builds my theory that the Entities or at least the Web has some influence over internet content in this universe that it doesn't have in The Magnus Protocol universe. In TMAGP, the OIAR sorts through things found in databases and the internet, but in TMA the Archive seems to be the only source of real supernatural info, proving that Elias or someone else was controlling the stream of information in a way that the entities aren't able to (yet) in TMAGP.

Let's turn away from the most hated character on the internet to talk about the most loved: Gerard Keay.

Our first intro to Gerry is death metal music blasting from his bedroom at two am which is just, so on brand.

(Also want to point out that Dominic Swain didn't realize it was 2 am until he heard the music. Missing time is another motif that keeps coming up in this show.)

I also forgot that Gerry painted in this universe, so it's nice to see they kept that connection in Protocol.

The thing that's truly key (no pun intended) about this episode though is the ritual Mary performs, blaming Gerry for her fake murder. I believe this is the episode she binds herself to the Skin Book, but I can't figure out when/how she would attach Gerry. Also, the case against him was thrown out because a "key piece of evidence was deemed inadmissible." Was this Gertrude pulling strings, Mary using magic influence, or some other powerful eldritch bureaucrat pulling for our boy? Who's to say.

Mike Crew is really only mentioned in this episode, but it did get me thinking about the relevance of scars in the show. His Lichtenberg scar influences who he is and what he becomes as an Avatar. Very similar to Daisy naming herself after her scar and pursuing law--which would lead to her becoming an Avatar--because of the event and injury. Also, Jon's "markings" are what allow him to start the Eyepocalypse. Physical manifestations and reminders of trauma shaping who we become really is a theme in this show.

And of course, Jon. He is such a terrible liar yet him believing in the supernatural was still somehow a plot twist. Proves how good a writer Jonny is, honestly. He doesn't believe in the supernatural, but is absolutely terrified of Leitners and is working on an "institute project" to eradicate them? I would love to know how this project worked. Was it just research? Was there a team dedicated to finding and collecting Leitners? He also mentions "the incident in 1994," is that when the library was destroyed? Or is just another terrible Leitner incident.

Crazy ep, one of my favorites. Let me know what you think!

[doofus-and-dragons]

This will more than likely be the last one of these I have. So, for the last time, here is my live reaction to the final season of TMA. These will be in no particular order because ice been listening to it over the span of a couple of weeks. I only listen to it at work.

TMA S5 Spoilers ahead

The cabin episode made me so sad. The eyepocolypse had even taken away their domestic bliss

I really don't remember the trenches that well. It's not a fear of mine, so it didn't shake me or stick well enough. Still good tho

The sickness episode sent me right back to senior year of highschool. I had to take a minute KXNSKXN

REVOLUTIONS WAS AMAZING I LOVED THE POETRY AND THE ACENGING OF SASHA BY KILLING NOT!SASHA. I love it.

At first I thought the worms was about Jane again but I was very wrong. It was a very interesting take!

Curiosity made me incredibly sad. I feel bad for Eric, Micheal, and Sarah(? Trinity? I don't remember. She was set on fire by a desolation avatar I think)

Also: Gertrude x Agnes perhaps???? Or at least solemn pinning? Maybe I just think it's slightly tragic to make it so and sometimes angst is good yknow?

Roots was ok, but the only part that stuck out to me was the jealous Martin scene. I listened to it like 3 times. I kept rewinding it just to list to it.

Fire Escape was SO good! It gave me a kind of manic energy as I listened to the descriptions of the fire.

Martin in the Lonely again made me cry. That's it.

"Who's this? Your boyfriend?" "Yes actually." "Oh...so is there anyway this doesn't end in me dead?"

The Basira and Daisy stuff actually did make me feel bad for Basira. Like, it's the apocalypse and she's having a whole ass crisis.

SALESA WAS INCREADIBLE

I wonder how he faked his death... man is talented and smart, I'll give him that

Skipping ahead to Martin's domain. Loved that. My boy isn't strictly human and I love that he can't deny that fact anymore.

Martin: Something something "one of you"

Jon, being a smug theater kid bastard boy: "One of us."

Like I heard that and I imagined him smirking ominously and gesturing with both his hands

He sounded so pleased that his boyfriend, as miniscule a role it had or that martin had, was like him, and I love that for him

I'm so glad Melanie and Georgie are happy. Though, the cult does weird me out (cults give me the heebie jeebies. It was a very nice touch!)

They deserve nice things.

Also, my favorite of the Cult members was Anil's character. I can't remember his name right off the top of my head, but he was wonderful. Anil did amazing with that little cameo/role

The scene where's he's arguing with Martin reminds me of that Jojo meme with jotoro and dio, but instead of stands they have their poetry clutched tight in their fists

"I dont need a poet." No, Jon, because you already have one. His name is Martin

Of course Jon gets trapped in the ocean when he doesn't have big string martin to row him out of it XD

SOMEWHERE ELSE SOMEWHERE ELSE SOMEWHERE ELSE

Annabelle Cane is wonderful, I'm so glad Jon didn't kill her. She's so chummy with Martin up until she has to be a dramatic villain and I love that for her!

The ladder episode made me grin like a maniac manly because I would be the Martin in that situation. I love the feeling of falling/floating, but I hate actually getting myself to fall. I physically can't do it. I can barely dive into the lake from my papaw's boat

Martin, there are thousands of fanfics that dive into you two getting together without the trauma. Don't even.

NO JON THE PLAN

Hey, real elias! That's where him being a stoner comes from! Because he is one! Nice.

I love og Elias, and I would protect him with my life I don't care.

Oh wait it was just Magnus dreaming

JON NO THE PLAN FUCKING HELL

I almost cried when Martin was yelling at Jon. The boys are fighting

THE KISS HOLY SHIT ALEX SAKD THEY WOULDNT KISS THEY KISSED AH

They're somewhere else being happy and domestic now you can't change my mind

[mildredmost]

Gerard Keay musings

Did he give anyone else massive Prince Rilian of Narnia vibes when Sam and Celia visited him? He was so cheerful and totally fine with not really being able to remember anything.

Look - They both wear black. They both live with older women who do the talking for them. They're both unnaturally cheerful. They both love to offer their guests food and drink relentlessly. And they both tell people that the clues they're following are a dead end.

Gerry: There’s some fresh sourdough rolls, if you want a bite? SAM; No thank you! GERRY: (calling) You sure? Homemade lemon curd to go with it

…Tea? Coffee? Orange juice?

Rilian: Honest Frog-foot, your cup is empty. Suffer me to refill it.

...Sir, be pleased to take another breast of pigeon, I entreat you.

...Little lady, eat one of these honey cakes, which are brought for me from some barbarous land in the far south of the world.

GERTRUDE: Well I’m sorry, but I don’t think Gerry can help you- GERRY: Yeah I barely remember any of it.

Rilian: You must understand, friends, that I know nothing of who I was and whence I came into this Dark World. I remember no time when I was not dwelling, as now, at the court of this all but heavenly Queen.

GERRY: I remember filling in a bunch of forms and questionnaires then some old men asking me questions about what books I liked to read, who did I look up to, that kind of thing. Then I left. SAM: (Disappointed) That’s all? GERRY: Yea, afraid so. Other than just sitting around with a bunch of other kids in a room that smelled like old books. Beat. SAM is clearly dejected.

"We had been told to look for a message on the stones of the City Ruinous," said Scrubb. "And we saw the words UNDER ME."

The Knight laughed even more heartily than before. "You were the more deceived," he said. "Those words meant nothing to your purpose. Had you but asked my Lady, she could have given you better counsel. For those words are all that is left of a longer script, which in ancient times, as she well remembers, expressed this verse:

Though under Earth and throneless now I be, Yet, while I lived, all Earth was under me.

...Is it not the merriest jest in the world that you should have thought they were written to you?"

This was like cold water down the back to Scrubb and Jill.; for it seemed to them very likely that the words had nothing to do with their quest at all.

Anyway, Prince Rilian tied up squirming and begging in the Silver Chair has always been formative for me, so here he is just because.

(Would love to see Gerry in this situation, just saying.)

[mag200]

thinking about jonny sims voicing jonathan sims and his mother voicing gertrude and his father voicing jurgen leitner. which like, doesnt matter, really, i know they were just trying to find people who were available and they all did a really good job voice acting and it wasnt a choice made for narrative parallels. but it still hits how gertrude & leitner were both jon’s predecessors in various ways, archivist or librarian, who had assistants, and who sent all their assistants to their deaths. from leitner who literally did not give a shit how many of them he killed, to gertrude who thought she was sacrificing some for the good of many. sending michael into the heart of the spiral so that she could tear it apart. too busy saving the world over and over to notice one of her assistants experimenting on another. (only to learn none of it even mattered, none of the rituals would have worked anyway.)

jon who, of the three of them, is the only one who transforms into something not human, who doesnt get to die a human death, who is forcibly made into an apotheosis. jon who questions and struggles and doesnt ever know what path to take or what genre he’s in, and while he hesitates other people die, or while he takes action he unknowingly frees the monster. jon was the one who said “i may not be able to trust my assistants by i won’t lose them.” jon had to listen to leitner say he “lost track” of how many innocent people he got killed, but jon never forgot anyone he lost, even his childhood bully.

and then both gertrude’s and leitner’s voices are stolen and warped in the unknowing. like. the stranger uses what are essentially jon’s narrative parental figures to degrade him for the choices he’s made, to mock him for caring about human life. do you understand me. he just never stopped caring. he put a knife in jonah magnus’s throat and he said “this is for tim and sasha.” guy who’s 100% heart and feeling and love but he was formed by people who are cold and calculating and ruthless. i have to lay down.

[rebeccasteventaylor]

Every time Helen does the EE Gaming advert before the show and ends with ‘catch you later!’ I always think - Helen? Is HELEN coming back?

Anyway…my thoughts on today’s Magnus Protocol…

What the hell do you mean, Celia, ‘not like we’re wrestling with tape recorders and Manila folders’. You mean like in the Archives!!! What do you know, Celia?

And why is Celia trying to chase down which case is spoken? And why she wants to look up specific cases about being buried or meat AND AT THAT POINT I SCREAMED

because she is, isn’t she? From the Archives. From the other world. She KNOWS…

HILLTOP ROAD!!!!!’nnnnndmnfhrbdksktbvtoenfheb

Oh god, the name forgetting is happening again…

So we’ve got from vague hints at the Archives to YES LOOK AT ALL THESE ARCHIVES REFERENCES

Agnes? Is it Agnes - ooh, didn’t we have a bear skin rug before? Gertrude destroyed it? Oh my god, they’re setting up a ritual…

‘I’m sure he had a lovely time’ lovely bit of sarcasm.

What’s that crackle in the background of the casement Jon - I mean Chester - is reading? Is it typing?

Mikaele Salesa is somewhere…

Just look out for the books…

Fuck me this is a good one.

This one felt very much like an Archives statement

Celia recognises Jon’s voice…

Colin, my beloved…

Sam is getting emails from Jon?

Ooh, Lena and Gwen arguing again. I like Gwen. Who’s her source? Oh wait - Gwen is going full Bouchard.

Bloody hell, that was the most ‘yes, this really is a sequel to the Magnus Archives’ episode yet
