WHERE: Bucky's Diner WHO: Jasper Larkin ( @endlessreruns )

"How are things at the trading post?" Celia asked, setting a cup down in front of Jasper and sliding into the booth opposite him. It had been many years since they had worked together at the diner but she always enjoyed when he dropped by for a visit. "And how is Monty? I heard from my new sister-in-law that he's a magician at Sammie's now."

alice darling, can you be normal about like,, one thing?

[two-crows-in-a-trenchcoat]

my thoughts on certain characters being the 'minister'

Peter Lukas - I think it's unlikely bc no jonah to make a wager with to get him off the boat so he's probably still at sea buutt if it was him think it would funny bc he'd definitely have 'disappeared' Collin just to not deal with him

Simon Fairchild - he wouldn't give a shit like we saw him with the extinction stuff he'd just not care about what the OIAR is doing at all and I think that would be funny

Annabelle Cane - that would be verryy plot relevant and also probably the same annabelle Cane from tma bc she said she'd either go with the fears or die and so far as I can remember they said there was no sign of her I would love a return of annabel mainly just bc I love her

Sasha James - more likely to be the new IT person but also I desperately just want sasha to be alive and well I also think she'd be very good at her job we knew she would have made a good archivist but an actual one rather than eldritch horror one so maybe she's a librarian somewhere completely separate

Tim Stoker - I strongly believe he wouldn't take it seriously and would flirt with every one and make jokes about the computers looking worse for wears until he hears about collin and just makes jokes about collin

Danny Stoker - would be funny but would also mean Tim is not linked to the supernatural at all bc he only got involved after Danny's death so if Danny's fine so is Tim and I need Tim to be ok also I think it would be a fun link without them just having the same cast as tma

Elias Buchard (the real one) - would imply gwen is a nepo baby which would be really funny to see them interact also wonder how jonah would feel about it also he was a stoner so I don't think he'd be good at his job and this would be very funny

Jurgen leitner - he's probably dead but I think this would be fun and we don't know if he even had his library in this world but if he did and then became the minister of the oiar that's a bad way to hide and I think he'd die pretty quickly

Daisy Tonner - she would penalise them for everything she'd be so strict on them and probably aggressive I also think its unlikely to be her she'd hate the bureaucracy and would probably empathise with collins solution to their problems

someone new - the fandom reaction would be funny as fuck like we've spent all this time theorising and guessing and then it's no one we've ever heard of before I just think it would be a funny way to throw off everyone

sorry this so long lmao

[theajaheira]

also the doctor introducing donna to martha and going "please don't fight over me :( i know i'm just god's most special time lord, but there's only one of me, i'm so sorry :(" & donna going "in your dreams. HI MARTHA! your boyfriend sounds so much hotter than the doctor??? i can completely confirm based on your two second description that your boyfriend is hotter than the doctor and you got the better deal. congratulations on dodging THAT bullet. you're so cool :) my best friend is such a loser"

[ultearlight]

I think the funniest thing the magnus protocol could do here is actually become an office rom-com with a polycul

[sparklespectres]

I’m really proud of Gwen and Alice for actually talking to each other and trying to open up a little bit? This is very significant character growth from their whole “I know that you know that I know something but I don’t want to say anything before you do even though you aren’t going to say something unless I do first” conversation that they had all those weeks ago !

[skepticalcatfrog]

What relationships do you wish we had gotten to see/see more of in the Secret Shanghai books?

For me it's Benedikt and Roma because I just find it so interesting how their relationship changes over the course of specifically the first two books as more and more things happen to cause a rift between them. They're just so interesting to me.

“what does that mean” “you try to learn spanish for him” like no this is my family’s language ?! Lmaoo

[somuchbetterthanthat]

I was questioning everything that's going on with Alice right now, because once again this episode threw me off (I swear I want to study her under a microscope at this point) and then I realized that maybe instead of focusing on what she was saying, per say, I could think of what she isn't; or rather how she's behaving in this episode.

'Cause I think this is the second time now that we see Alice trying to go behind someone's back after we had the first part of a conversation that didn't betray her "real want".

That is: so far, from what we heard about Colin and Alice, Colin likes Alice. They have a good working relationship, or so it seems, until suddenly Alice is asking Sam to go to Central IT because she thinks Colin might be messing things up on purpose. And she doesn't want that -- but she also doesn't want Colin to know that it's a specific worry of hers, so he can keep seeing her as a friendly figure.

Similarly, last episode - and all the ones beforehand, to be honest - Alice has seemed adamant that Sam should stop thinking about the cases so much. She keeps telling him to stop prying into stuff. But of course that means she can't go around asking Sam "what are your specific theories here, what did you say, specifically". So she has to go behind his back -- and asks Celia, pretending like she isn't already aware that Sam and her have talked a lot about work during their date. She has to ask on the off chance that Celia will reveal more to her. But WHY does she want that? Why does she need to know what Sam is obsessing over, all the while shutting down Sam's attempts to discuss it himself with her, which he has tried beforehand?

If anything, this episode just kind of confirms to me that Alice is doing something for the OIAR; of course I might be biased, because in my head I've already been imagining her as a "Internal liaison agent". Reporting/redirecting/assessing/protecting(?) the people who work here when they begin to... think/ask too much about everything that goes on here. But maybe i'm off-track and she's just got her own non-official secret, like the others do.

........................ Also I literally cannot decide if her last remarks were jokes to distract Celia from her feelings for Sam, jokes that hold some truth about possible feelings for Celia, or jokes to close a conversation in a way that lets on she was only prying for "sentimental" reasons and not for other more specific work reasons.

[some-zer0]

Don't know what to do with this but uhhhh something something Gwen wanting so desperately to be taken seriously/treated with respect and something something Sam pretty consistently being the one person who's respectful towards her

[callofthxvoid]

WHERE: Cal and Celia's Bedroom WHO: Cal de la Luna ( @justcallmecal )

"Hey," Celia greeted softly as she stepped into the bedroom, walking up to where Cal was laying face down on the floor and sitting down next to him. She started gently stroking his back. "So. Do you want to talk about it? Do you want a cigarette?"

[lostwords-found]

The Magnus Protocol 8 – Running on Empty memes

Credit me if you repost any of these.

[notavalidblognamebut]

I need Celia and Gerry to be besties.

[itsalwaysforyou]

i wish we’d got to see the older vks interact more with the younger kids bc it’s like. how much did they care for them on the isle? did they help them out, betray a moment of weakness so they didn’t have to suffer like they did? did they leave them to fend for themselves just like their parents, perpetuating that cycle of cruelty?

it’s implied that celia knows, and is at least friendly with, the rotten four, as well as uma’s gang. evie is close to dizzy. it’s just such an interesting dynamic, these teenagers who are selfish and rotten and evil, keeping an eye on kids just like how they used to be: vulnerable, helpless, learning how to survive the unforgiving isle streets. both parties as some sort of fractured, distorted mirror.
