howdy, howdy, howdy @a-mag-a-day and co. it's 148 time! That's lovely! :3

also uhm. 7de Laan (South African soap opera) spoilers ahead? apparently?

look idk what to do for a funny intro today

JONATHAN SIMS Rusty Quill presents: The Magnus Archives. Episode one hundred and forty-eight. Extended Surveillance.

For some reason, my brain immediatly went "the French magnus archives" and it would be like uh... cent et quarante-huit (?). I don't know why I wanted to translate it? Also, the most French I've done was like... grade 9 Canadian French which I've promptly forgotten. I don't know why I thought this.

Le Magnus (in a french accent) Archives? Look, I speak Afrikaans, but as someone who's learned it from 7de Laan and yk, just being in a family with one Afrkaaner who sometimes uses Afrikaans slang and words and cannot spell apple, so a lot of the Afrikaans I speak is just english words in an Afrikaans accent. I mean like that's basically what Afrikaans is so-

Y'all should watch 7de Laan, it's really fun. Idk what button they've discovered now, but I remember back when Mariaan killed... Ben I want to say, and they discovered the voice over button. And then there was the Orange is the New Black rip off season, and then I remember when they discovered the really bad greenscreen button and things started happening outside and it looked awful.

No one watches soap operas for the height of cinematography.

ELIAS Good evening, Detec— [Basira punches Elias.] BASIRA Useless, scheming piece of shit. ELIAS Detective, this is quite unnecess— [Basira continues to hurt Elias.] BASIRA I’m sorry, was that unnecessary? [Basira hits Elias once more.] BASIRA (Cont.) Because this is the most helpful you’ve been so far, unless you’ve got another crisis for me?

tbh absolutely deserved. god i love the scenes where elias has an awful time <3 it needs to happen more often.

BASIRA You always call me Detective. Is that supposed to mean something? ELIAS Honestly? I just like the way it sounds.

WHY IS HE LIKABLE? WHY IS THIS FUNNY TO ME? I JUST DONT LIKE BASIRA OR ELIAS AND THEY'RE JUST GIVING EACH OTHER MUTUAL TERRIBLE TIMES

ELIAS Will you? You’re not police anymore. You’ve done them some favours, but they’ve done you some as well, and I think you’ll find that the information that I’ve been giving to them has been far more consistently useful. You want to issue them an ultimatum? Go right ahead. I’m just not sure it’ll go quite how you hope. … And, um, no more violence, Detective, or I may have to call in the guards.

God, I hate how he turns it around, just manages to scrape himself an edge, prick. Like even in episode 200 (my beloved) he tries to get Jon to back down. It doesn't work, of course, but like, there was an attempt, there's always an attempt, I hate how he takes things in stride and always manages to come out on top, I hate that so much. Really hateable villain, he deserves to be drowned in a bucket /ref.

ARCHIVIST Can’t believe you’ve been seeing him all this time. BASIRA Oh yeah, that’s the terrible secret sabotaging the trust between us.

Ok, like, to be fair, talking with Elias did help end the world so...

BASIRA Yeah. John, we’ve been over this. The key is to not force people to feed you their trauma. You know, just don’t do it. ARCHIVIST It’s not that simple. BASIRA No, it is. Or I put you down.

Oh!

Look I was trying to find my original reaction to this, but I didn't talk about it to my partner (ily) or on my story (I believe the next one we're really digging into there is 154, because I was in fucking shambles), but I mean, I don't know exactly what I was feeling but it was probably like... shit.

Shit.

Like, I get Basira's perspective, right, but also you can't just. That's hardly proportionate and yet... isn't it? Gertrude would have done it, Adelard Dekkar would have done it, and when they do that sort of thing to monsters we hardly bat an eye, but... well, it's different, right, we know Jon.

It's like that post, about how the "monsters" were treated differently across the seasons, in season 1, Jane Prentiss is the entity formerly known as Jane Prentiss, in season 2... can't really remember, I mean they were seen as more... sentient, but still evil to their very nature. In season 3 we get a separation, Jon isn't like the other monsters, Mike Crew and Jude Perry were bad people, even though they were people. And then in season 4... well, come Scrutiny, we've realized that oh fuck, there is no separation, and we can view all the monsters as irredeemable and bad but... Jon's not irredeemable, he tries. So, what about all those other monsters. And in 152 we get it, how different is Jon from Jane Prentiss? Not really different at all. The season 5 comes along and none of the characters we're following are on the watched/human/victim side of the line, and the line wasn't really real back then.

Podded cast <3

ARCHIVIST (Mutters) I mean, that’s hardly… BASIRA Daisy’s been managing. ARCHIVIST Daisy is… Yeah, she’s managing.

Wow, why's Daisy managing better than Jon, it's not like she has the support of Basira, Jon, and presumably Daisy to help her, no it's just that she's fundamentally better /s.

Like, you can't expect someone to change for the better if you're only getting angry at them, if you treat someone like a monster, like they're going to fuck up all the time, then they're going to fuck up all the time.

ARCHIVIST Haven’t really been trying. Doing that sort of thing consciously … makes me hungry. BASIRA Oh, well then, find a statement to your tastes and read it. ARCHIVIST Yes, yes, I know. Thank you.

I had a little conversation with Japleeejay a while back so I'm just gonna put that here, inc his reactions in brackets because they're funny.

Also, I'm thinking about jon tma (🤯) And yk about my interpretation of his character which is the only correct one /hj (💙) And about how it's like his self esteem is shit, but that's when he's alone right? He's going to stand up for himself when other people are talking shit about him, but he's also going to internalize it and ruminate on it when he's alone? (‼️) Like uhh. He's obviously really guilty about what he's doing to his victims, but when they confront him about it, and in MAG 141 and MAG 148, he's defensive about it It's like it's not a binary thing right And if I may just like bring myself into it for a second because half of my jon thoughts are actual analysis and the other half is projection But like uhh the whole thing i had going on with the adhd, like I was fiercely proud of being adhd, and like i'd get angry at people for being ableist and stuff, but i also sort of... believed them? it's like, you can have contradictory feelings and emotions (‼️) And it's like it's different if you're saying it to yourself and someone [is] saying it to you? Like at least my immediate reaction to someone getting angry at me whether justified or not is to get angry back, and then yk i calm down and either don't think they're right or do, right? And it's like, Jon gets angry when people get angry at him, he gets defensive, and then he dwells on it a lot, right? Basicallly Um - Fanfic authors are doing it wrong i'm the only one doing it right - he's not. he's not like. yeah sometimes sure he's like that. he'll take it lying down sometimes - ^ especially when helen's saying something to him because she knows how to get under their skin - but like it's not a constant thing - hhhh idk how to describe it (💙)

(27 January, 2023)

ARCHIVIST I've been meaning to ask. The tape, the one of the, uh… my victim. You said Martin gave it to you? BASIRA Yeah. ARCHIVIST How was he? H-how did he look? Was he, uh…? BASIRA I don’t know. I didn’t see him. He just left it on my desk with a note. ARCHIVIST Oh, right. BASIRA Yeah. ARCHIVIST Can I ask what it said? BASIRA Um, yeah. It said, “Talk to him.” (The Archivist laughs bitterly.)

GOD THE PINING JUST GOUGE YOUR EYES OUT AND MAKE OUT FOR CHRISTS SAKE HHHH

I can't take this, I can't take 12 more episodes of this I can't.

Statement of Sunil Maraj, regarding their work as a security guard and the disappearance of their co-worker Samson Stiller.

OH YAY! They use he/they, that's lovely! I think I may have pointed this out a while back.

Someone had even put their name in the front, like they were afraid people were going to steal their manky instruction book.

Oh No

tbh i dont think i really paid attention much on my first listen but just like-

Oh No. it's a leitner.

Cos I saw some of the pages over his shoulder, and on one of them, there was … There was a picture of me, like a black and white photo of my face.

OH SPOOKY!

It was one of the old CRT sets, big and bulky, and the picture on it was never that clear, but for a moment, it looked like it was me on there, staring right back at myself as the screens slowly went black, getting closer and closer. The face on the monitor looked absolutely terrified, and I was starting to feel it myself. So, I just tried to smile, told him not to worry about it, and I headed out as quick as I could. My legs were shaking so hard I almost fell on the way out.

Don't know what to say just... spooky.

One time, when no-one in the store was looking, I threw a can of deodorant at one of them, hit it square on. Samson wore sunglasses for the next two days, and when I caught a glimpse of him without them, there was a crack, right down the centre of his eye.

Ohhh that's such a cool image also so spooky!!

I wanted to know why Samson hadn’t signed out of the building before he disappeared, why no matter who tried to reset the system, it always logged back in as him. Or why, whenever I was watching the monitors alone, I’d see him on that old CRT screen, staring right back at me, quietly calling for me to join him.

OH WOW THAT'S-

wow

Does reading a statement of the Ceaseless Watcher count as a sort of auto-cannibalism, I wonder?

He's started calling in the Ceaseless Watcher, not The Eye anymore.

Hmm. Feels more... reverential? In a way? I dunno. Need to compile a list of what people call the fears. I know Jon used to call it The Eye or The Beholding, I thought he switched to calling it the Ceaseless Watcher in season 4, but apparently not.

I honestly don’t care if Mr Maraj was chased down and consumed by his voyeuristic former friend, or if he has forgotten the whole affair, living in blissful ignorance. I just find my mind already wandering to the next statement, and the hopes that it won’t be quite as stale.

Is that a turning point? It feels like a turning point, but then again it just feels like he's already crossed that line, and there was no turning point, just an unstoppable march forwards.

Hm.

Chapter 1, Part 1

"Introduce"

Ezra Lee, siya ang highschool crush ng Decilis Academy, halos populasyon ng mga babae dun ay palaging nahuhulog sa kanya. Isa rin siyang matalino na estudyante, sina Daniel Park, Oliver Park, at Kai Nishimura ang kanyang mga kaibigan, dalawa sa kanila ay may lovelife na

Clubs

(Perks include but are not limited to random teenagers playing music while you shower at the gym)

In an effort to both utilize pre-existing clubs, and furthering their careers, Robert and Mags have joined clubs. This idea was planted in Robert's head after he went with a friend to the gym for a late night workout, and his friend promptly bailed, leaving him to shoot hoops alone.

Part of the joy of playing a game is the cheering and applause from others when you get a point. At least, Robert thinks so. He applied to join the "Powerhouse" club, which seemed promising right off the bat, seeing as they had a dumbbell as their icon. Very to the point.

After inviting the club leader, an elderly Marcus Flex, to his house, Robert showed off any and all reasons that he would be a great fit to the club.

Marcus didn't really need convincing, he just made a club for people who can't really exercise unless they do it as a group, but it was an interesting way to spend an evening.

Within a few meetings, Robert also invited a coworker, Morgan Park, to the club. She's a bona fide gym rat, so she couldn't refuse.

Having the club meetings at the gym did help his work performance, and he was able to get a promotion to a Minor Leaguer, a raise that was appreciated by everyone.

Mags joined the Upper Crusts, which came with the benefit of a bunch of people making food for her, so that there was lots of leftovers in the fridge for times that she was exhausted from work and wanted to eat something before going to sleep. The extra company was nice as well; for some reason Mags doesn't know nearly as many people as Robert does, so chances for her to meet new people are welcome.

After meeting Clara Bjergsen, Mags got very sentimental, wishing that Bob had some kind of grandmotherly figure in his life, which is something she basically shoved onto Clara, rather awkwardly.

It's a little difficult to maneuver the club meetings, their jobs, and taking care of Bob, but hopefully it's worth it, at the end of the day.

Robert woke up one day and quite literally chose violence, because he wanted to become enemies with some random Sim that I've never seen before, but I guess in the time when I was playing the Simovitchs, he managed to get a negative relationship with someone. And so, I figured out where the guy lived, had Robert stop by, and promptly start arguing with him about anything, in his own house, and then started a fistfight.

After winning the fistfight, Robert declared this random Sim his enemy, and went home to enjoy time with his family.

In some ways, it's probably a good thing that there isn't a police force in The Sims the way there is in real life, because this entire ordeal would have 100% gotten Robert Newbie in some sort of trouble. Aggravated assault at least. Instead, he ended the day confident, and happy that he was able to complete a want. He doesn't have blood on his hands, but he definitely has bruises.

Speaking of completing wants, it was soon New Year's Eve. It was an incredibly uneventful one, no parties or notable gatherings. Literally the only pictures I have about it are from the countdown.

(if you see tiny little baby legs behind mags in the last picture, bob fell asleep on the floor in classic sims style, because mags and robert were too preoccupied with the countdown)

UAE Trip p.3

Ako ata ang pinakahuling umalis sa plane. Hindi ako makasingit para kunin ung bag ko sa cabin, ayoko din naman maging cause of delay nila kaya nagpahuli na lang ako. yun din talaga yung isa sa cons kung naka window side ka lol. tapang ko magpahuli eh no, parang alam na alam ko ung lugar, ang plano ko susundan ko ung mag nanay na katabi ko sa plane hahaha anws, yun na lumabas na ko plane, aware ako na malaki ang airport ng Dubai and need sumakay ng train ganyan pero soooooooobrang layong lakaran naman. Hindi ko na alam kung paanong bitbit pa ung gagawin ko sa hand carry ko kasi sobrang bigat niya, 7kg mahigit ata yon kasi sila mama nag-ayos non eh. Imagine, naka ootd ka tapos may bitbit ka na mabigat na bag tapos hingal at pawisan ka. Buti na lang madali din intindihin ung signage nila don kung saan ka dapat pumunta at bumaba kaya nakapunta ako sa train ng walang problema, hingal lang. Sumakay ako don sa train para sa IO and baggage. Amazed ako. Sobrang amazed ako. 

IO time ulit. Pumila na kami para sa stamped ganyan, pinoy ung nag-assist samin tapos napansin ko lahat ng IO officers lalake. Wala din silang tanong tanong. Binigay ko lang ung passport ko and visa, pinatingin lang ako sa camera tapos stamped na ung passport ko, may libreng sim card pa. forda lakad ulit para naman makuha ung maleta ko. Wala na kong energy sa part na to sa sobrang pagod ko talaga sa hand carry ko. Bibili na ko ng de gulong na pang hand carry talaga. Hindi ako naghintay ng matagal sa bagahe kasi mabilis lumabas ung maleta ko. Ang next na pinroblema ko kung pano ko makikita si kuya. Hindi ko kasi alam saan ako mag exit ganon. Kaya ang ginawa ko sumunod na lang ako sa mga tao, unaware kung saan sila pupunta hahaha buti na lang din talaga malakas net don, nacontact ko si kuya. naupdate ko na din sila mama at wife ni kuya na nandon na ko. Sabi lang sakin lumabas ako airport. Edi labas naman ako.

Strangerville, part 7 (finale)

RUNE: I found the source of the infection. EINARR: Hm? RUNE: It's a huge alien plant. EINARR: Go figure. RUNE: I also found vague notes on how to create a cure? EINARR: Well, let's get going, then.

Infection hour is over.

RUNE: Well. Time to test the cures. See if they actually work. MORT: Why not test it on us? RUNE: I'd like to make sure it works first.

Oh dear.

Ohhh dear.

At last. Rune found something that worked.

However, there were no samples left, so back to the secret lab they went. 

RUNE: Alright, I believe this should work.

MORTEN: ghhdfjhghjgfjfghjdfjgkjkh

MORTEN: Holy heck.. I don't hear the plant whispers anymore... You actually did it. You killed the infection. RUNE: Awesome!! Are you ready to stop the source of that infection? MORTEN: The what? Source? RUNE: Whatever you kept referring to as "₮ⱧɆ ₥Ø₮ⱧɆⱤ". MORTEN: I don't recall any of that. But.. sure?? I guess? RUNE: Great! I should go make more of these cures. Bat needs it too! 

RUNE: Heck yea. BAT: What was that for!! RUNE: I cured you. BAT: What, really? Uh. Alright. RUNE: Yes, really. Are you ready to defeat that nasty mother plant in the basement? BAT: the what RUNE: Great!

EINARR: You guys do realize one more of us has become infected, right? RUNE: What. BAT: It's the alien kid, isn't it. EINARR: Yes.

Alright. Time to enter this madness and finally put an end to this.

It's over.

It's finally over. She is gone.

EINARR: Oh, dear...  EINARR: Hm. At least she's not dead.

It is time to go home.

EINARR: So this is it, huh. EINARR: It's finally over. EINARR: We sure made Strangerville... normal. It just seems like a regular desert town now. EINARR: But at least we’re not returning home with any alien infections, right?

MORT: Yep. I barely remember half of this stay because of it. Worst free vacation ever... RUNE: RIGHT!! This has been exhausting!!! RUNE: I'm never trusting Father Winter ever again.

EINARR: After all this nonsense, I think it's fair to say that nobody should.

MORT: When is the plane leaving? RUNE: In a couple of hours. We still have time to pack our stuff.

EINARR: I miss the sea...

Well, we had that, didn't we? Almost a year of just working a normal job together, and you hated me.

**SPOILERS FOR MAG 200**

Where you go, I go. That's the deal.

--

Martin and Jon cling to each other as the Panopticon collapses around them. Martin's grip is iron tight and blood-slick, and he clutches Jon tight to his chest as though he can make up for the way that Jon's grip is loosening, fading, his hands going slack against Martin's back, his head heavy on his shoulder.

Their world is dissolving around them.

Or maybe they are dissolving out of the world. Martin knows that the walls around them are crumbling, can feel the floor beneath them shudder and shake, on the brink of dropping them into oblivion below. But there is a distance to it, like he's watching it happen to them from somewhere slightly outside his body. Stronger than any sensation of collapse is the pull of the tapes, like Jon's compulsion, like gravity, pulling him away and down and out of this world into somewhere else.

Martin clings tight to Jon--his Jon, so impossibly small and terribly still now in his arms--and he closes his eyes, and he falls.

--

This is not the world. This is a world.

--

Somewhere else, a man wakes up, his heart pounding from a nightmare he can't quite remember.

There was chaos, upheaval, a sensation of falling--and something--someone?--that he was trying to hold onto. Someone he couldn't bear to lose.

He doesn't remember who they are, or where they might have gone. He is only left with the desperate feeling that his world is collapsing.

A howling, empty grief fills his chest and he curls up in his bed, and he cries, and he doesn't know why.

--

Somewhere else, another man wakes with a gasp on a cot in a climate-controlled storage room, his hand pressed to a nonexistent wound in his chest. He can still remember the feeling of the knife plunging into his heart.

He doesn't understand the overwhelming sense of relief he feels when his assistant taps timidly at the door, asking him if he would like a cup of tea.

--

Somewhere else, Jon wakes in an empty field, a scar seared across his chest. Martin's hand is held in his, and he has a brief heady moment of joy as he realizes they made it before he turns to look at Martin lying next to him and sees the blue of the sky reflected in his open, staring eyes.

--

Somewhere else, it's Martin who wakes in the barren field, and Jon who stares emptily up at the clear blue eye-less sky.

The wound in his chest is still bleeding.

--

Somewhere else, two skeletons lie in a field splashed blue with forget-me-nots, wisps of early-morning fog dissipating around them. They lie facing each other, fingers still entwined. If you look close, one of the skeletons is missing two ribs.

The mist that swirls around and through them is just mist, fading quickly in the growing heat of a clear day, and beyond the field the world turns on, full of ordinary hopes and fears, love and loss, beginnings and endings. The wind blows gently, tossing the heads of the flowers and sending a scattering of petals over the bones.

--

Somewhere else, Martin Blackwood tears through the Tube station on his way to work and just manages to squeeze onto the train before the doors close. He breathes a sigh of relief and leans back for a moment against the wall of the train, then stumbles and barely catches himself as it jerks into motion. He stammers an apology to the man standing next to him, and wishes he could hide the flush of red that spreads over his cheeks and ears when the man smiles back at him, his eyes a rich, warm brown.

--

Somewhere else, Jonathan Sims stands on tiptoe in the canned goods aisle of the supermarket, debating the merits of giving himself a boost by stepping on the lower shelf against the possibility of someone telling him off.

Suddenly a hand reaches over his shoulder and pulls down the can of peaches he was reaching for. The man hands it to him with a shy, apologetic smile, and Jon smiles back and stutters a thank you.

He thinks as he walks away that the man's eyes were the same color as the sky.

--

Somewhere else, Jon offers his new co-worker a hesitant, awkward smile and a soft thank-you as Martin sets a mug of tea on his desk.

They have only worked at this library together for a week, and Jon already knows he will never enjoy any tea as much as he enjoys Martin's. Martin is working on not turning red every time Jon smiles at him.

Neither of them have ever heard of the Magnus Institute, and when they sleep, their dreams are full of ordinary, mundane fears and oddities.

Most of the time, they don't remember them at all.

--

Maybe, maybe everything works out, and we end up somewhere else.

--

Somewhere else, two men are in the kitchen of a small cottage in Scotland, making breakfast. They move around each other with the ease of long practice, slicing toast, cracking eggs, dropping bacon into a pan to fry. One of them drops a quick kiss on the other's cheek before reaching into the pan to steal a piece, and the other makes a move to bat his hand away, laughing. The laugh comes easily, lines at the corners of his eyes worn deep with years of smiles, as evident as any of his scars. The first man munches his prize as takes the whistling kettle off the stove and pours boiling water into the waiting teapot, swirling it to warm the ceramic before adding tea and more water and leaving it to steep.

He brings the pot to the table just as the other finishes plating up the food, and pours two mugs, adding milk to one and an absurd amount of sugar to the other. He passes the sugary mug over and is met with a smile and a soft thank you that he will never, ever tire of.

They sit at the table, eating breakfast, drinking tea, watching the mist burn off the hills through the kitchen window. They talk of plans for the garden and what they need from the market for dinner, the conundrum of sleeping arrangements for when their friends come up from London next week to stay. The morning light illuminates a precarious stack of books at one end of the counter, umbrellas and a cane in a stand by the door, a refrigerator covered in lists and scribbled recipes, in pictures of smiling faces and holiday cards and several clumsy children's drawings.

After breakfast, they wash up and leave their dishes to dry while they make their way out into the brilliant morning, hand in hand. They walk along the familiar path up into the hills, a path they have walked a thousand times and will walk many more, knowing, with a confidence they once would have barely dared to dream of, that the path will always deliver them safely back home.

For the ship meme: Mag/Tok - 1, Charles/Pickles - 20, Mel/Amber/Seth - 44?

OHHH 8) don’t mind if i do! *writes you a novel*

1. How do they fall asleep? Wake up? Any daily rituals? (Hammertooth)

Magnus is a night owl to an extreme degree, and if left to his own devices he’ll crawl into bed or pass out on the couch somewhere between 4-6am and then want to sleep until the early afternoon. Toki is a night owl, too, but will usually be in bed around midnight and then sleep until 7 or 8, sometimes earlier. Toki doesn’t need a ton of sleep to function, and when he wakes up he’s up. Magnus meanwhile has to be forced or bribed to wake up and will typically keep dozing off while sitting up for an hour or so once he’s out of bed. slowly but surely, Toki gets Magnus more on his schedule, though he will let him sleep until 9 or 10 unless they have morning plans.

Toki likes to cuddle while he sleeps but Magnus usually needs to be left alone or he can’t get comfortable, so that takes some getting used to - they cuddle when they first get into bed and then eventually separate so Magnus can sleep. if Magnus is really tired though, sometimes he can fall asleep with his head on Toki’s chest, and there have been many times he’s woken up in the morning to Toki spooning him. :3 they also like to shower together. not even in a sexual way, just in a fun and intimate kinda way (also has absolutely nothing to do with the time Magnus fell asleep on his feet and fell out of the tub, nope, nothing kjdfgd)

20. What does their home look like? Their room? (Chickles)

AHHHH THEIR HOME :D i really need to try and make it sometime in The Sims because i can see parts of it so clearly in my head. it’s definitely somewhere close the mountains, somewhere in new england. two stories and a third under ground-level. Pickles has a HUGE home studio in that bottom floor, really the whole bottom floor was pretty much his design. it’s got a bathroom with a nice shower, a mini kitchen, fridge, everything. he can stay down there writing and recording all day. the ground-floor is the basic living room/entertaining room, kitchen, dining room, not one but TWO guest bedrooms with full baths.

upstairs is the master bedroom, which was mostly Charles’ design because he can be a bit particular and Pickles will literally sleep on a pile of laundry if you let him. they have a king-sized sleigh bed, huge dressers, all very expensive furniture in there made of beautiful dark woods. the carpet and the bedsheets and curtains are all cream-colored. Charles has an office AND a study/library. the office is for business, the study is for pleasure. i also imagine they keep a lot of houseplants around, and all the huge windows usually have the curtains pulled back to let in maximum sunlight and to really show off that view of the mountains.

44. Are the comfortable with each other? Anything they have to have their privacy for? (Melm/Amber/Seth)

I think Seth, as weird it seems, is the most comfortable with both of them. he’s not really one to keep shit in, and once he figures out he’s bi and realizes it’s fucking awesome he’s practically unstoppable. Amber, being more introverted and subtle in her approaches, definitely keeps some things to herself. i think she enjoys being a bit of a mystery, and she likes knowing the cards in play and likes having the upper hand (hello new scorpio Amber hc). there’s a lot about her past that she keeps silent about, too. if one of the guys asks something specific, she’ll tell, but she’s not a readily-opened book, and she’ll probably still leave some things out.

i feel like Melm is similar, which is why the two of them really understand each other on an unspoken level right off the bat. Melm is probably more comfortable with Amber than he is with Seth, just because Seth’s energy is a lot more chaotic, and Melm has perhaps had his fill of chaos lately :’) Melm is still very protective of his scars, though, and isn’t really keen on anyone (even Amber and Seth) seeing him be vulnerable about them.

MAG 170: jonny sims shows up at my house with a baseball bat with "for lonely gay people" written on it and breaks my legs 

[tardytothesimspardy]

The Newbies

I don't know why their house looks like this

DISCLAIMER: For some reason I impulsively decided to change the duration of seasons from 14 days, to 28 days, so I have already played Winterfest, but then because I extended the seasons, I'm going to have to play it again. But I still wanted to save all the pictures from the first time, because Mags was pregnant, and although I could go back to all of that,, I just don't feel like it :/ so I won't :///

Now that Fatima and Vadim are married, I can go over to the Newbies, and actually start playing them as well.

Right off the bat, neither of them were particularly happy, so I had Mags whip up a plate of pancakes.

She also had some very exciting news for Robert, but I'm not really sure how he felt about it.

Despite the immediate lack of excitement on Robert's part, Mags was still excited, as Winterfest was almost around the corner. She dug through their box of decorations, just imagining the fun ways the house could be dressed up.

Mags' belly was like, immediately huge, like I swear her belly in her 2nd trimester was bigger than Fatima's ever was, which I just find interesting. But anyway yeah she's huge.

Later, Robert and Mags decorated the tree, and since Robert is a perfectionist, he was really finicky about the decorations, and so it was mostly just Mags watching him decorate, and occasionally flirting with him.

They even did a mistletoe kiss, which was really cute.

Later, they had an enjoyable Winterfest dinner, and opened their presents.

I think Mags got a painting, and Robert got a decorational coffee maker set.

The next morning, I went over to the Simovitch household, and Fatima ended up going into labor after eating breakfast.

When I saw this happening, I just imagined the interaction went like:

Fatima: Oh my god, it's time. Vadim: Yeah, it's time for breakfast :)

He swiftly did start freaking out, but idk it was pretty funny to me.

Then it was the usual shebang, and huzzah, Betty Simovitch has been born!

After that, I went back to the Newbies, and due to Robert's weird hours, he had a lot of free time, so he visited with some friends from work. He ended up spoiling a TV show to one friend, and she wasn't happy about that.

Within a few minutes of Robert coming home, Mags was sent home early, since she went into labor (only like 20 minutes early though).

This time, I made a set outfit for when Mags is in the hospital, because it bugs me how they switch into the hospital gown to have the baby, and then when they hold the baby, they switch into their everyday clothes, and then once the baby is spirited away back home, they put the gown on again. The game did not like that, but I wanted the good screenshots!!

It also bugs me that only the Sim that delivers the baby can hold the baby in the hospital, even if you bring other Sims with you. So, here's Robert holding his son too.

Welcome to the save, Betty Simovitch and Robert Newbie Jr.!!!

TMA Retro 1: Angler Fish

So I was wistfully scrolling through the calendar to April for the third time in five days when the math added up: if I were to listen to an episode The Magnus Archives a day, it would just about carry me through to season five (give or take a couple weeks depending on when the premiere date lands). A retrospective relistening, giving myself the time to pay attention to all the details I missed on my initial devouring. And an excellent way to fill the long and lonely days until Jonny Sims rises from his crypt to kill us all. Anyway! I’ll be doing a post-per-episode-per-day, tagged tma retro - all and sundry are welcome to participate!

Let’s get down to it with MAG 1: Angler Fish

well actually, rewind a bit. let’s listen to some trailers 

starting out strong with some spooky chanting, a dire warning, and Jon being a huge bitch about Gertrude. also this guy Jacob had the right of it. you should have tried listening to his warnings about Beholding instead of complaining about some messy files Jon my boy! 

“I swear, if he’s brought another dog in here, I am going to peel him.” out of that jumper? 😏

I just really like picturing the Day Martin Brought a Dog Down to the Archives. do you think it was a little dog and he managed, through increasingly wacky hijinks, to keep Jon from finding out for most of the day (with the help of Sasha and Tim, after letting them in on the scheme of course)? or was it a big dog that ran around knocking over shelves and boxes, sending statements flying while the Archives staff gave (ineffectual) chase, except for Jon who climbed on top of his desk because he’s afraid of big dogs and tried to obfuscate this by shouting prodigiously?   

seriously, is there fic of this? there ought to be so much fic of this.

right off the bat, Jon is such a disdainful prick and it’s delightful. in the first few minutes he manages to imply that most of the other employees of the Institute are too lazy to do archival work, rips into Gertrude and her lack of a filing system, and basically calls Martin an idiot. 

this totally plays into why Elias chose him as Archivist. he needed someone to go around collecting marks from the powers, and here he has a man who’s demeanour invites everyone he comes in contact with to punch him in the face. it fits so well it feels like a trap. (it is probably a trap, can’t wait for this to bite you in the ass Elias) 

definitely getting the impression that the Archives are seen as, shall we say, the redheaded stepchild of the Institute - “an impeccably organised library and an absolute mess of an Archive.” which becomes, just, so hilarious when you think about what’s to come from the rest of the Institute’s perspective. worm attacks, murder investigations, discovering corpses of former employees and mysterious bonus corpses. everyone else at the Institute fucking hates the basement weirdos and their constant disruptions. 

and then Jon mutters about “making excuses” and my heart breaks for him (not the first time, not the last). he’s hopelessly unqualified for this job, and he must have felt such pressure to get the Archives into good order. hence him grabbing a couple researchers (and Martin) to pad out the investigation work so how fucked the Archives are doesn’t come to the attention of the “ivory tower academics” in the rest of the Institute, and being so angry at and judgemental of Gertrude and the state she left the place in. he wants to be a good Head Archivist, and he doesn’t know how, so he has to bluster and cover everything with pompousness and disdain and blame and scepticism, trying to come off as a Real Boss. Jon tries so hard. it’s at the core of who he is. 💔

love the sound of “Old Fishmarket Close.” that name has spooky mood lighting.

it is fun to imagine how this looked to the angler fish. they’re chilling, waiting for a snack, got a skin ready to go, when this guy tumbleweeds himself down the street to crash land on their literal doorstep. eldritch fear equivalent to uber eats. 

oh ho ho, the statement giver refers to the figure as “the stranger” several times! dammit Jonny you beautiful bastard!

there’s also some puppet imagery, with the figure swaying and dangling, and being folded and pulled back “like a string had gone taut.”

also wonder if there’s a link or warning here about the smoking? smokers were the angler fish’s prey, and Jon’s smoking and web lighter have been brought up a few times but never fully dug into, yet. hmm. 

I cannot emphasize enough how much Jon’s voice is dripping with contempt any time he’s not reading a statement. he is such a little punk! I love him!

Jon sounds like it’s physically paining him to say “LOL,” the septuagenarian vibes are emanating from this man

Sasha establishes herself early as a competent and technically adept assistant, therefore marking herself for death. RIP, we stan forever

Edward Nashton was left with a dusty apartment in the living will of his "old friend" at a perfect time to overlap with his transfer to the London branch of his work, set to work in accounting for the Magnus Institute. He keeps track of donations and prices of work expense to look into accounts, it sets up quite the puzzle that overlaps like tracing paper to one in regards to that old friend gone missing.

The call to knowledge and sight is twisted in riddles and hidden overwhelming patterns that warp the way to truth easily gained but the stairway down to the archival staff is just three... doors down from his office.
