#tim stoker tuesday

[fox-guardian]

hey guys did you know that um. did you know. first of all did you know i'm losing my mind, secondly, do y'all remember in tma how when someone reads a written statement, they don't really Stop unless they're interrupted? and they read the whole thing easy cheesy, no issues with reading whatever words are there? like. jon literally could read french for a whole statement and was Fine. granted, that's Jon, but like nobody else struggled with pronunciations and whatnot (that i can recall)

presumably, this is an eye thing. either as employees of the institute, or because everyone there is just also eye-aligned in some degree (melanie had the ghost hunting show, the eye is fond of martin, etc)

and then there's tim in season 3 ep 86

[Sigh] Statement of… uh, Benjamin Hatendi… Hateendi? Regarding a… [papers rustling] a blanket. Dead friend. Monster. Regarding his unavoidable and gruesome end. How he tried to hide. He couldn’t. Statement is from… 1983, March 2nd. And I guess… [long sigh] I guess I’m doing this one. Tim Stoker. Archival assistant… Archival prisoner at the Magnus Institute.

correct me if im wrong but i don't recall anyone struggling with pronunciations before this bit. but that's not even the biggest thing here, that's just a lil Taste, a lil Flavor.

note the phrasing there. "Regarding his unavoidable and gruesome end." why would he say this when the written text on the statement says this:

Uh, right. Benjamin Hatendi’s account of… [rustling pages] oh for… a, a strange encounter. Er, statement date, March 2nd, 1983. Melanie King recording. Apparently.

"a strange encounter". that's it. nothing about an unavoidable death, just a "strange encounter". Tim Why Did You Say That.

why would our dear timothy bimothy, who is being pushed to the brink, who is becoming rapidly more depressed and losing hope, say this?

this isn't the only time he's said some weirdly grim shit tho (ep 104)

There was never really any hope for me, though, was there? This was how it was always going to go.

and then there's this bit from elias apparently having Looked into tim (also 104)

TIM All right, hit me with your X-ray eyes then, boss. What do you see? ELIAS Disruption. An unpredictable, angry man with nothing left but the desire to feel in some way revenged. TIM [Sarcastic] Ooh, terrifying! Surely only magic could have let you see so deep inside my very soul.

"nothing left" but the desire to feel revenged. and tim doesn't dispute this, because it's true.

when he first joined the institute he did so in order to look for answers about danny, but then he stopped seriously looking. and now that the circus is back, this is all the drive he has left. not looking for answers, just wanting revenge. closure. an end, if you will.

this is Literally It For Him. a couple lines later he suggests elias kill him, he's At The Breaking Point.

he is so tired, he's lost all hope, and he's saying all this grim shit about "unavoidable death" and "this is how it was always going to go" like hmmmm sounds familiar doesn't it. DOESN'T IT (<- is going insane)

(ep 11) [....] despite the rapid response of the paramedics and how much of his medical history I had immediately to hand, there was nothing I could do to save him. (ep 11) I have no responsibility to try and prevent whatever fate is coming for you. Based on my previous experience, such a thing is likely impossible anyway,[....] (ep 121) There. That was it. That was our fate; where we would always be.

hmmmm sounds a bit like oliver huh? everyone's favorite ex-accountant avatar of the end?? right??

but then there's this last bit i have from ep 86.

why did he stop reading the statement

Statement. “My parents never let me have a nightlight. I was always afraid, but they were ju–” Ugh, this is stupid.

why did he do that. again, correct me if im wrong but when else has someone just Stopped Reading like that without someone or something else interrupting them? why could tim just stop himself?

my theory is this: at this point, tim is completely gone from being aligned with the eye. he no longer seeks to know what happened to danny, he just wants closure. he doesn't wanna do any statement work, and he keeps mentioning these tidbits about hopelessness and the inevitability of terrible events, specifically death.

the eye isn't compelling him to read the statements like it does the others, because it doesn't have as strong a hold anymore. the grip is slipping from him. and by the time the unknowing rolls around, maybe it's lost him for good. maybe he finally fell into a different power he never meant to serve, and yet, he does.

and maybe. just maybe. because i'm so not in denial. but MAYBE. he did die in the unknowing. but maybe he got better.

basically end!tim truthers rise up, this is how end!tim kayaking with his bf oliver banks can still win, etc etc I'm Going Feral <3

Did not mean to exclude Sasha from this one. Just pretend she’s off screen taking the picture

[ID: The first image is a drawing of Tim Stoker from the Magnus Archives drawn in a chibi style. He’s wearing a pink shirt that’s open from the front and seated in a purple kayak in the water. He’s holding a paddle in one hand and shielding his face from the sunlight with the other. He’s glowing in the sun. Jon can be seen in the background, thrashing in the water next to an upturned green kayak. Martin, in a blue kayak of his own, tries to help his flailing boss back to safety. Both men are wearing life vests.

The second image is a screenshot of the drawing request by @call-me-dj that reads “Tim kayaking with the rest of the archives crew!” /End ID]

Tim Stoker Tuesday: season 3 edition 

:’)

[gayformlessblob]

tim really got martin a bunch of extra sheets for his cot without him asking so he would be comfortable in a time where he was feeling a lot of anxiety and fear and then immediately turned around and started teasing him about his crush. older sibling activities

[ellar232]

So we have Melanie King Monday’s right?

Well I prepose Tim Stoker Tuesday’s.

Would you celebrate that?

[ineffable-grimm-pitch]

all of my tma opinions stem from the fact that I’m so fucking mad that tim died in the unknowing

[saintbleeding]

my friend im going to be Predictable and say web!mart with elias :::) ♥ (or web!mart w/ annabelle, if ur into that? 👀) (or, or sad timart, thats also nice ♥ whichever you like the most!)

i still have every intention of doing the other two at some point bc i love a spider boy but i was bitten by the sad martim bug and uh. this

[ID: A comic depicting Martin and Tim from TMA. Martin is a short, fat, white man with wavy ginger hair and glasses, and Tim is a taller, medium-build East Asian man with short, dark hair and elongated worm scars across his face, neck, and arms. They are sitting on a balcony overlooking a city view at night, gently backlit by a window behind them. Martin stops halfway through a tangent when he sees Tim staring at him, and they have the following exchange:

Martin: What. Tim: Do you like Jon. Martin: [caps] What oh my god no way what are you talking about. [end caps] [pause] I mean. Maybe. ... Didn’t think you’d care. Tim: I mean, I don’t. Just sort of thought you had better taste. Martin: ... Well. I don’t. Tim: Huh. Yeah. Guess not. Martin: What, are you jealous? [no reply] Pfft, no you aren’t.

Tim still does not reply, though there is a little sad face beside his head. They lapse into silence, and they are shown from behind, with a crescent moon visible in the sky above them. After a moment, the dialogue continues.

Martin: Wait, [bold] seriously? Tim: ... No. I just think you could do better. Martin: It’s getting late. Tim: What, you’re not staying? Martin: Lot on tomorrow. Tim: ... Yeah.

End ID.]

what if they were fwbs. what if the emotions got all complicated. what if they were all three unreasonable about each other. pain and suffering on planet earth.

[fox-guardian]

[ID: A digital comic of Sam and Celia from The Magnus Protocol and Danny from The Magnus Archives on a gray background. Everyone is colored in a single color. Sam is red, Celia is green, and Danny is yellow. Sam is a fat Arab man with short curly dark hair, a mustache, and a small goatee, and he is wearing small black earrings, a cardigan, a turtleneck, trousers and loafers. Celia is a slim Korean woman with short dark hair and she is wearing rectangular glasses, piercings including an industrial piercing, an x-shaped earring, and snakebites, a button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a vest, trousers, and black wrist cuffs. Danny is a tall, beefy Latino man with short hair, a cut in his brow, and a "cat mouth" and he is wearing small hoop earrings and a waiter uniform including an apron and name tag.

Sam and Celia sit at a table looking tired. Sam is resting his chin on his hand and Celia has her fingers steepled.

Sam: We'll NEVER get what we need without this specific thing and/or connection. WHATEVER will we DO?

Danny appears holding a notepad and pen, shrugging sheepishly and smiling with flowers around his head. Sam and Celia sit up, smiling at him excitedly with their hands in the air

Danny: UM, I might just know a guy! Sam: Our regular waiter, Danny Stoker! Celia: You ALWAYS have what we need! Danny: HAHA, what can I say?

i think after the epiphany episode of tma people should've given up on framing tim as an expert matchmaker. he thought a gay man had a crush on a lesbian
