Me, searching for a podcast to fall asleep to: Oh, The Magnus Archives. I remember really liking season 4!

Melanie King, two hours later [at full volume]: Get off me! Get off me! Don't touch me! I will kill you! I can't feel my leg!

Mag 125: Civilian Casualties

[zabala0z]

Welcome back to “listening to S4 of TMA and sobbing!” I’m your host, you know me, unfortunately. I swear to god-

MAG 125: Civilian Casualties

Am I going insane or was Callum McKenzie mentioned before??? The name is so familiar and I searched through all the transcripts and my notes. Closest thing I could find was in A Sturdy Lock, the old man’s last name was McKenzie but I don’t think that’s related. Anyways, I think this is the slaughter

Also the bullet. And Melanie’s screaming. Is that also related to the slaughter, her increase in violence??

MAG 126: Sculptors Tools

The whole time I was like “is this Michael??” But no this guys name was Gabriel but then he mentioned Sannikov and I was so confused until Jon mentioned the worker in clay and I immediately shrieked. And Gertrude stopped him. What a badass.

Martin talking to Tim makes me wanna scream. And Peter said some interesting stuff. Isolation. Elias’s ritual. I think Peter is trying to make a ritual for The Lonely before Elias because competition or something. And then the “when it’s over, you won’t want to tell him” like wtf does that mean. This is why I equally hate him with Elias.

MAG 127: Remains to be seen

Very The Eye. I actually never thought much on Jonah Magnus but I should’ve because yeah, that guy is suspicious. I need to pay more attention to old timey statements.Also, “I was trying to see if the statements called to me” like Jon, you know that makes you look more unhinged, right??? And Martins mom is dead now which makes me wanna like strangle myself.

And then there’s the infamous bastard; love Elias’s prison arc, it suits him more.

(EDIT 9/19: forgot to mention, Albrecht said at one point “I don’t read the books, the books read me” which reminds me of MAG 91 when Mike said he couldn’t read that one book but it read him. Think those are related. Okay that’s it)

MAG 128: Heavy Goods

I know they (or he now) are evil but Breekon was low key sympathetic during this. Also, DAISYS ALIVE. Oh so Daisy can be alive but Tim can’t, someone rip out my throat. ☹️ but I am happy. And sad. She sounds like she’s going through it according to Breekon. Or at least Breekon words extracted by Jon, which, by the way, what the hell. He can do that??? Starting to realize the true horror of his powers cause damn.

MAG 129: Submerged

Oh yay, gentrification. The true horrors of the world.

“I miss you” so what if I screamed! I need to like punch a pillow after every Martin/Jon conversation.

Anyways, I think this entity is like the buried? Can the buried count with water? Drowning? You know? Anyways “The Sunken Sky” is like the coolest name ever for The Buried. How do they all have such cool names?? Apparently Gertrude sacrificed Jan Kilbride because he was marked by The Vast and throwing him diwn a pit was enough. That’s the guy from MAG 106. There always seems to be at least one sacrifice to stop a ritual, y’know. Hate it

I have a bad feeling about Jon trying to find Daisy. Because duh. And basira is off on a secret errand which I believe is whatever Elias told her about. The new way to defend themselves. I don’t know who it’ll be. Maybe a new character?? If not, I can’t think of a strong character who could help them, especially associated with Elias

Okay!! I think that’s everything. I’ve been filling my sketchbook with TMA art, I love it. Final thoughts, uh, hate Peter, worried for Martin, worried about Melanie, overly analyzing everything, etc, etc. I hate my brain can’t ever stop when listening to this.

Favourite Episode Masterlist

[metoxxi1]

The Magnus Protocol Episode 17 Theory:

I think Darrien and other!Darrien are avatars (or at least aligned with of the Slaughter. The statement doesn’t regard the horrors of war or anything, but it does mention destructive anger a lot.

Darrien’s description of his anger reminds me of Melanie’s description of her anger in MAG 131 (Flesh). She said it was (paraphrasing) “a useful motivator, at least until it slips out and hurts someone close.” Also, other!Darrien’s enjoyment of torturing his/their father reminded me of the villagers from MAG 125 (Civilian Casualties), where the smiles and faces of the villagers indicated they enjoyed tearing each other to pieces under the slaughter book’s influence.

Darrien mentions him having a mom, whereas other!Darrien didn’t, which that makes me think other!Darrien would have been further abused by his father before getting fed up and imprisoning him.

When Darrien mentions his “father being at his own funeral while also being in surgery for the tumor that killed him”, I think that’s the death needed to make other!Darrien and avatar. I think the “benefits” of being an avatar weren’t just an outlet for his destructive rage, but also his wealth. It’s not stated or implied, but given what we’ve seen of wealthy avatars in this series and Archives, I don’t think it’s a stretch.

Lastly, now that Darrien sealed other!Darrien in the basement with their father, I think it’s an interesting metaphor for how his anger is sealed away, at least for now. Maybe we’ll get a follow-up in the future about how he escaped and what that means when anger other!Darrien finally escapes, broken and mangled as he is. I’m going to bet if his dad was begging for death, there’s a feeding tube of some kind to keep him from starving to death of his own volition.

mag 125 - civilian casualties

another slaugher-aligned statement, another great episode. there is just something about the prose here that i love. it feels so ambient, i guess. this statement also includes a lesser than usual amount of context and no proper time jumps between events but instead just gets very quickly into the event itself. it makes me imagine the whole thing as one long scene, more or less

rural horror and supernatural/eldritch horror are also a combination i love. small communities torn apart, leaving nothing but a bloody, abandoned stain on the map. not to mention that, no matter how many times i see it, sheep just make an excellent combination with more violent horror. everytime i see that combo i go feral

plus, the bagpipes remind me of mag 163, which is my favourite episode, so that earns this one a couple of bonus points lol

i was actually surprised that the bullet was removed this early. i thought we'd have to wait at least five or six more episodes. though i guess so much happens in s4, and melanie has such a drastic change to go through this season, that it kinda has to happen this early for everything to fit

Just realised that I somehow managed to skip the entirety of MAG 125 "Civilian Casualties" the first time around. That explains a lot.

[werewolfwriter323]

Hello and welcome to my Blog

I am Werewolfwriter323 and this post is basically just a way for me to organize all the stuff I post or reblog, so that I can find my own stuff and whatnot easier. And to find posts that I want to look at or reblog again.

Here’s the most used tags that i’ve included

#not tma (these are for most posts that aren’t tma or other fandoms)

#other’s art (art that I didn’t create)

#free palestine (any post that I reblogged about palestine)

#werewolfwriter does stuff (my tag for any “original” stuff that I post, whether it’s art, aus, writing, shitposts, memes, edits, etc.)

#werewolfwriter [ ] draws, edits, writes etc. (A more detailed tag for whatever “original” thing that I posted)

#important news/info (Anything that I reblogged that I think will be important to look back on, or important info or links, or the like)

#queer stuff (Any Queer/Gay/LGBTQ+ posts. To note I usually use the term Queer to speak about the community, just because for me it works better as an umbrella term, it fits better for what I identify with.)

#random stuff (random posts that I found interesting or funny enough to reblog)

#memes (It’s memes, what do you want from me?)

#writing stuff (Posts that usually include writing tips and the like that I know that I’ll want to look back on)

#art stuff (Posts that usually include art tips and the like that I know that I’ll want to look back on)

#save for later (Posts that I want to look back on for whatever reason)

I have been using tumblr for a while, and I had an older blog that I was often on, but it wasn’t until a few months ago with this new blog that I finally figured out how tagging works. I hadn’t really given it though until recently, and now I am glad to be able to use it to organize my stuff somewhat.

Despite being a mostly TMA and WTNV blog here's some other fandoms that I love and will gush about given the chance.

It's also a safe space for any neurodivergent folks.

And honestly a safe space for anyone else who isn't an exclusionists of any kind, I try to be a pretty open minded person, and I try to not judge others, but if you are going out of your way to harass people online for no good reason, then I won't deal with you on my blog, you will be blocked.

That's all for now, thanks for reading if ya did, and I hope that you enjoy what stuff I've got here.

DAY 4

This episode fucking rules. No other words for it. It's a great standalone horror story, the way its told after everything happened, the descriptions of assumptions of what went on, I just love this episode so much :)
