#mag 1 anglerfish

[sathtrash]

We made it to episode 13 (Alone) and so far they’re loving the podcast. Their favourite episodes so far are Anglerfish, Across the Street, and The Piper. They also really liked hearing from an outside voice with Naomi recording her statement direct from subject. We’ve already made plans to hangout and listen to more possibly on Sunday! I’m SO looking forward to showing them Lost John’s Cave, Freefall, Colony, and A Distortion, I know they’re gonna love Michael DOWN

MAG 001 (Anglerfish) without context

Definitely nips deep into a The Magnus Archives fixation so I went back to episode one because it's iconic. Can I have a cigarette?

Mag 1: Anglerfish

Episode 1: Anglerfish

I wonder how many statements in the Archive are actually fake? I mean, through the show we see a few fake ones but I'd think for the most part the Eye could filter who feels drawn to give a statement. Get all the juicy ones, you know. I wish I had access to the Archive I would just read. Everything.

I totally get why Gertrude left the Archives a mess, you know. But I wonder if Jon justified their state, especially compared to the library, himself or if the Eye helped him along.

I wonder if Gertrude just made up random numbers and letters for the statements.

Did Gertrude intentionally curate this persona of a batty old woman, or did Jon seriously just not pay attention to what she was doing at all? Honestly, probably, mostly the latter.

He sounds so fucking full of himself.

He's so rude to Martin. I wonder how Martin felt about this, how much he took in stride as part of his own mask. Like dude. So much of this is uncalled for.

I've always wondered if Jon notices how much he gets into the character of the statement-giver when he reads these. Like, it's an immediate toneshift. It's lokely unconscious, especially at the beginning. Like later he reads and speaks in different languages without noticing.

I probably should pull up a map of Edinburgh and track the locations mentioned. Since I'm a useless bloody American who barely even know what "matriculating" means, mich less the Royal Mile or the Cowgate. But the thing is, I don't feel like that right now.

I wonder if the Anglerfish specifically hunts intoxicated people because with that description, I do hope it wouldn't fool any person in their right mind.

I didn't know drunkenness could cause hallucinations. But then again, I've never drunk myself so I wouldn't know.

I really do think Nathan would be safer if he quit smoking instead of starting to take taxis. It's not that common for a specific entity to come after a specific person again after they escaped cleanly, and if not taxis won't save him.

Does the Anglerfish just not feed very often? This seems to be a commonality among similar entities, probably to stop the normies from noticing.

Glad he pronounced Siobhan correctly because God am I finicky over that kind of thing.

Like the hand being very long and going too far back into the darkness? Or is the hand just floating?

I do wonder how physical this thing is. And how exactly it presumably kills it's victims. Can it just not be photographed well? Is the main body, presuming thete is one, just well-camoflauged? Hidden? Properly invisible? Is it just trying to lure th victims in, does it actually do anything with the cigarette? I mean, probably not given the Malboro Red on the ground. Does it have other methods of luring victims in if they don't have smokes on them? Can it tell if someone has smokes on them?

I think this is pretty clearly the Stranger, although it seems a bit boring compared to many of the other manifestations. Overall, a banger first episode.

So, once at my sister’s university, this girl came up to her and said “Can I have a cigarette?” and my sister said “Sorry, I don’t smoke” and this girl said “BITCH” and walked away.

Mag 1 Anglerfish character design

Im counting this as the design for „the stranger“ in my Drawing all TMA fears series.

More rambling bellow

I KNOW THIS IS NOT HOW THE ANGLER FISH IS DESCRIBED IN MAG 1.

I imagine the actual angler fish in mag 1 to have an entire human as a bait who just hangs more or less limp from the Anglerfish’s angle. This is more of a humanized version of this Creature, keeping the main idea (asking for a lighter for a cigarette) but this time reversed. It’s not the Anglerfish who needs light but rather its victim. Ofc with this design the victim wouldn’t come closer to accept the light, ofc the victim would know about the faul play as soon as they see just a slight silhouette. I didn’t design this with the intention to be the Mag 1 creature but to be based of the Mag1 creature and mainly FOR FUN
