TMA 120 Eye Contact and oh shit this is the really disturbing one where Elias is recording and it’s Jon’s dreams…

Elias is just going in and pulling Jon’s dreams out of his head and Jon can think and feel but not move. Jon just dreams…and his dreams are the tales he’s recorded.

Poor Jon - lost in his own nightmares and never waking up.

But here is Martin, getting Elias arrested. And Elias didn’t see it coming! Not from Martin anyway. He completely underestimated Martin. Good. Serves Elias right.

And then there’s Peter….

And it’s clear Martin has been visiting Jon a lot - enough for Elias to notice.

[kairos-polaris]

Names can be weapons and Elias is well versed in using them against people. Like my cool mutual @rosalineandrosemary pointed out Melanie doesn't like Elias calling her by her first name and Basira isn't comfortable with being called Detective. He calls Jon the Archivist in the birthday tape because it's a way of telling Jon this was always meant to happen, this was always who he was meant to become

Except, this is the only time Elias calls Jon the Archivist when talking to him. Every time else it's his first name (he says Jon's name more than anyone else's btw). I think it's because he views Jon to be on the same level as him ("the world WE made") and for Elias he is always the person before he is an avatar of the Beholding. And the same applies to Jon

Anyway, what I am trying to say is that it's important to me that Elias calls Jon by his first name at all times

MAG 120 really gives me some perspective, because Jonathan Sims is over there witnessing unimaginable horrors every time he sleeps

and last time I had a dream, it consisted of me trying to search for fanfics on ao3

TMA S3 FINALE (and me screaming)

I don’t know where to start. Maybe the fact that everyone I like in this podcast always dies? Yeah I’ll start there. What the fuck guys. What. Like. What?????

I’m not going into my usual format but holy shit. MAG 119 was like motion sickness but for my ears. The music. I hated it so much. That organ. Tim. Tim. I knew he raised too many death flags, Jesus. Like I’m happy and all for him but GOD NO. AND DAISY??? Though when she started attacking the shit out of Breekon and Hope, I did internally cheer her on. The fact they tried to act as Basira made me wanna scream. Now that I think about it, was Daisy being influenced by one of the entities?? Like The Slaughter?

Basira is so much stronger than me. Like genuinely, I think she got bumped up a couple places just by her sheer logic during 119 and I am so impressed 💀 so much so, I’m wondering if she had like any internal help, y’know??

Orsinov is like one of the most horrifying sounding characters here. The moment she put on Gertrude’s and Leitners voice, I shrieked. Something about the sing-song voice, the way she inflects certain words makes my head spin. Like Michael.

Little backtracking, Martins situation with his mom is like devastating. And the moment Elias started speaking, I knew he was gonna pull out some traumatizing shitty news to give Martin, I hate him.

Fast forwarding: Jon’s dreams

Okay. So. Jon I guess is in some sort of coma and man are his dreams fucked up.

All the people that appeared in there were the people who gave physical statements. Not super hard to figure out but we had Dr Lionel Elliott, Tessa Winters, then Daisy but obviously she’s not there (DAISY 😭), Karolina Górka, Jordan Kennedy, I think the melted woman refers to Jude Perry, the hunters (Julia and Trevor), Naomi Herne and then the pitying figure. The only woman I would think would fit this vague description is Sasha because of course it’s vague, he doesn’t remember her and I’m going to sob.

Bit scared on what Jon is turning into. Whatever it is, it’s not anything good. He’s watching a lot and I guess he’s watching other people’s dreams- or nightmares- and just….watching??? I’d be terrified.

Elias got arrested. Love it. Though, “Be seeing you” I HATE YOU. 🫵🏻

Would be happy but god damn PETER LUKAS has replaced him and I don’t know if that’s worse or better because we at least know Elias’s actions and his limits. We don’t know much on Peter and I don’t like him at all. At least he’s giving them paid leave. And a counselor. I personally need a counselor for this WHOLE SEASON.

When people told me “good luck” when I started getting into TMA, I laughed it off. I should’ve taken it more seriously because I have never felt more distinct and unpredictable emotions than listening to this podcast. I think that’s all my thoughts. Mostly I’m just uhh dying here. I hate everyone and this podcast and I’ll be listening to the beginning of Season 4 tomorrow!

Again, thank you to everyone who has been following my mini rants and crappy theories. Remember when I thought Gertrude was living in the tunnels??? But seriously, thanks to anyone who has been like fully reading through my posts. School has been wack and the people, and just the podcast as a whole has been making my time less stressful 💀 anyways that’s too emotionally vulnerable so thank you!!!

A wip of an episode 120 art cause its my favorite episode so far, and the imagery is very cool. Wont be able to finish this for a while cause i'm busy but have the wip as a little treat.

[thermodynamic-comedian]

ough just relistened to mag 120. completely forgot how detailed jonah's description of (jon's dream of) jane was. and the way he spoke about the corruption with like,, a weird kind of fear-based understanding and respect? i might be losing my mind but i feel like he doesn't talk about the other dreams with nearly as much care and detail. like the image of jane prentiss' immolated corpse was beautiful to him.

girl who only knows parasight listening to a perfectly normal episode of the magnus archives: man, i'm getting real parasight vibes from this.

[jazzically]

hello tma fans me and my 1 brain cell need help what does this mean

mag 132: entombed

like is the shirt real... i thought it was a symbolic metaphor but now im not sure

also is daisy the one from john's dirt train dream in 120: eye contact? i went back over that one and didnt really notice a specific moment where he makes a choice to become a beholding avatar but apparently he did (i love this series so much got me kicking my feet wtf)

[confusedfeelsfangirl]

Can’t wait for Jon to be his most evil self according to you guys’s disapproval of him in season 4 😅

Magnus Archives S3 Finale

„Martin Open the door.“ „Sorry Elias. I can’t hear you. There’s a door in the way.“

I feel so much with Martin

Elias is my depressive thoughts

I want to cry now actually

okay what THE FUCK was that

Onto Episode 119

Shit they changed it out for organs

Wtf this is so creepy

Why am I sitting in a car I need to yell or something what is this

Motherfucking Jurgen Leitner

Why does it feel like I’m holding my breath the entire time

HIT THEM

omg he blew it up

And now… episode 120

Elias?

It’s so unnerving to hear him just talking like this after… that

The coffin… what

His dreams…

He is dreaming of them. People from the statements

Okay there’s a couple minutes left in the episode

Wait what. Daisy and Tim? no

Elias is getting arrested? Like for real?

„Be seeing you.“ ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS

Peter Lukas. Peter. Lukas.

I didn’t want them to die. Shit I wanna cry

I don’t know if I like this guy

You’re gonna end there???

These last episodes are like being repeatedly slapped on the face in four different directions

[divorcemotif]

I always liked the detail of how elias continues to maintain a performance of bureaucratic courtesy towards the institute's employees while the exploitation and active undermining of the archival staff's well-being gets increasingly ludicrous in horrible supernatural ways. telling jon not to worry about the doctor's note for his return to work form after framing him for murder. making a point to ask melanie for her input at the beginning of her "performance review" and offering her the rest of the day off afterwards as she's sobbing across from him. "make sure you keep any receipts for expenses, assuming you wish to claim them back. / and assuming we don't, you know, die. / yes, if you die, I’m afraid you probably won’t be able to claim your expenses." passing the torch to peter lukas who starts off strong offering martin paid leave and fucking institute-covered counselling
