while listening to ep 9 i realized that my “listening to new tmagp ep” behavior is not how normal people experience podcasts

[vvanillavveins]

Neurodivergent podcast-fan culture is being able to wax poetic for hours about the most miniscule of details in any given episode of The Magnus Archives, whilst also having to rely on transcripts to tell me what the sounds i'm hearing in The Magnus Protocol are actually supposed to be and then retrospectively working out what the fuck just happened on my 2nd or 3rd listen

[starsandwriting]

Haha. Hahaha.

[ID: Alternating excerpts from the transcripts of The Magnus Protocol episode 11 and The Magnus Archives episode 112 and 67.

1.

Gwen: I thought he was going to kill me!

Lena: But he didn’t, which means you’ve passed the first part of your probation. Congratulations. Did you scream?

2.

(Elias): congratulations. You’re doing a lot better than I expected.

Archivist: Feels like all I’ve managed to do is… not die.

Elias: And believe me, that is a remarkably rare skill.

3.

Gwen: I don’t understand.

Lena: Yes, you do.

Beat.

Gwen: But… why?

Lena: “Why” comes later. For now, it’s best you try to process the “what.” I’ll let you know when I have another liaison assignment for you.

4.

Archivist: So you obviously know how to stop it. You could just tell me!

Elias: I could. But I believe that if I did so, you would fail. The Stranger is antithetical to us.

[The Archivist sighs heavily]

5.

Gwen (defeated): I… Ok.

Gwen opens the door.

Lena: Oh, and Gwen?

Gwen: Yes?

Lena: Get some sleep. You look dreadful.

6.

Archivist: Of course, of course. Understood.

Elias: And for God’s sake, get some sleep.

WAIT SAM SAID HE SHOULD HAVE DRANK THE TEA THAT'S SUCH AN ODD THING. WHERE DID HE END UP WHEN HE WENT INTO THE RIFT BEFORE MAKING IT TO LONDON. WHO HAD TEA.

[somecleverreference]

not me walking into Oxfam for some fun secondhand clothes and leaving with a screaming vase, a bearskin rug, a chandelier, a massive gramophone, a rocking horse, a leaky grandfather clock, a defaced encyclopedia, several abstract paintings, two soiled crinoline dresses, a chaise longue filled with sand, a taxidermied vulture, a rusty printing press, used medical equipment, some sort of leather kite, a curved brass telescope, a wheelbarrow full of shifting fossils, an armful of swords, a few lengths of rope, a bathtub full of moldy food, a stack of old dental retainers, a brace of half-butchered pheasants, a jar of pickled hands, a diving suit full of sawdust, a broken picnic hamper, a bloodstained china set, a jar of imperial coins, and a gun.

[existentialeggdogg]

idk, seems like a baby to me...

[safe-ship-harbored]

"I'm gonna be normal about this episode!" I say. my laptop makes a glitch sound.

Fun fact for you all. The advance release people had a watch party on Tuesday. And while I wasn’t able to attend myself, I heard from my peers that the transcript originally had “error” listed as “archivist” but then RQ changed it.
