Finally got around to a re-listen of TMA and with the benefit of hindsight Jon’s initial hostility towards Martin is so ridiculous! In the very first episode he says he doesn’t even count Martin as an assistant as he's "unlikely to contribute anything but delays" but based on what? They barely know each other at this point so is his entire vendetta against Martin - to the point where Jon idly wishes for him to get chopped up by Angela the jigsaw witch - just because of The Dog Incident?
There's no way Martin is so terrible at his job that Jon could have valid criticism of his work that early on, and Martin came down to the Archives from the library, he’s probably the only person down there with the vaguest idea of what archivists are supposed to be doing! He's been working at the institute for 10 years or so and no one other than their mind-reading, eldritch horror boss ever twigged that he wasn't qualified, so there's no way he wasn't at least capable.
And if Jon does already think he's useless, it's probably because he's acting as though he's still in research and Martin is actually doing something adjacent to archiving.
Martin gets the transfer and he's kind of nervous cause a new boss means someone else to potentially be scrutinising his CV but he figures - it's archiving, it's cataloguing and filing and documenting, it's not so different from what he’s been doing in the library for a decade, he can handle this. It's only when he meets Jonathan "wtf is an archivist?" Sims and hears "okay so Tim is sleeping with the lead police officer on this murder case and Sasha has already hacked the guys home and office computers, I need you to harass this witness to make sure they don't want to refute their statement" that he thinks he might be in over his head.
It really only gives you three possible options:
1. He really is determined to never get over The Dog Incident.
2. He actually recognises that Martin seems to know a fair bit about archiving and is so afraid that at least two, possibly three of his assistants might actually be better qualified for the job than him that he’s lashing out.
3. He took one look at Martin and thought, "I've got a jam-packed schedule of stapling priceless documents, bitching about statement-givers on tape and running away from the spiders in my office, I cannot afford to get distracted by that guy's cute face and big sad eyes" and immediately did everything possible to push him away.

I just think Hunter was obsessed with Willow and didn't even know it during the period from any sport in a storm to labyrinth runners. They maybe don't talk as often as they could, they're both busy and have conflicting schedules, so when they do talk, Hunter absorbs everything she says.
After roughly 3 weeks of texting (hexting? I feel like the kids would call it hexting), He knows that her favorite colour is orange, she likes her tea with extra milk and a bit of honey during winter, she likes working out to the noisiest angriest music in her playlist, her dad Gilbert is a construction witch who specialises in pottery, she used to listen to breakup songs and think about her childhood best friend (Hunter doesn't know it's Amity) and she actually has a mild pollen allergy despite being a plant witch and has to take potions for it.
He casually drops all this info piece by piece during their stay in the human realm and willows like. Well I can't not marry him. It'll have to be a winter or fall wedding to account for her allergies </3

Faust 3rd Anniversary SSR Card - [Someday, It May Become A Beloved Story] - Card Episode, Home Screen Voice
Just the card episode (and home screen voice) because I can't get over the gap aaaa. I won't be working on the card story/skills/chibi description etc because time.
======
Card Episode - Matters of Interest to a Maledictor
======
Akira: Faust, do you have any legends or stories that you're fond of?
Faust: Legends or stories, huh…… I’m not sure if “fond of” is the right way to describe it……
Faust: But I guess perhaps this one story about a castle somewhere in Eastern Country that’s rumoured to be cursed?
Akira: Uh, is it a horror story?
Faust: There’s nothing particularly scary to it. It’s just a story where the lord of the castle got assassinated and his corpse stuffed into a wooden crate, that’s all.
Akira: Eeek…….
Faust: Sealed within that crate alongside the murdered castle lord’s body is his hatred, sorrow, and his grudge—
Akira: H-Hold on, please! It’s a horror story after all, isn’t it!?
Faust: Pfft……, my bad. Your reaction was just too good, I got carried away.
Faust: To be honest, it’s a rumor that I’m not sure if it’s even real at all. I was just a little interested in that wooden crate as a maledictor, that’s all.
Akira: That itself is scary in its own way too…..!
Faust: ……In that case, let’s change the topic. A story I like, huh……
Akira: (My goodness, my heart was pounding so hard just now…… As expected of a maledictor, his tolerance towards scary stories is on a completely different league.)
Faust: A long, long time ago at a certain place, there exists a village resided by no one but cats—
Akira: ……That’s one huge jump from before!
ㅤ
======
Home Screen Voice
======
Faust: Happy fairytales are happy *because* they are fairytales. Reality is different. It has plenty of painful and sad things. ……For staying by our side in a world like that, you have my thanks.

Excuse me but if Kyubin and Yoojung are trying to announce they are dating they couldn’t be more subtle about it. Like, ok not to assume nothing, like I don’t like to go around and assume an idol’s sexuality willy nilly, but they are the only idols that I believe have a thing truly. And with this KB teaser, like ma’am you really had your shirt off showin them tiddies and then yoojung in your bed like WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU IMPLYING AHHHHHHH. These two together know how to make my heart go. And maybe they’re just doing it for a concept that no one has done before or maybe there is something going on between the two of them but either way I adore the chemistry between these two 🥺
