#tma the bloodbag

[venleaf]

I just recently listened to the magnus archive ep 45 the bloodbag

And I am currently in a country with a lot of mosquitos and yeah I got a couple of bites

But since that ep I just can not stop thinking about what happened in it but not like in a I am now scared way but like an intrusive it shall take up your brain/thinking space everytime something comes in co-relation with mosquitos

Mag 45: bloodbag

[ramenwithbroccoli]

Hi there!! Saw that you likes The Magnus Archives!!

Which episode/statement is your favorite? C:

oh man, this got me thinking!

my favourite one would probably me MAG 74 "Fatigue". i love the way the dreams (or rather hallucinations) bleed out into reality until nothing is recognisable anymore. the narration is excellent here, scenes cut short, replaced by another ones, the world twisting in on itself. it really hammers that sense of losing yourself into you. i think that'd be the episode i would pick for someone who's not a fan of tma. it also encouraged me to experiment with different styles when writing :]

i also really enjoyed MAG "That Face at the Window", a standalone story posted after the main series already ended. i'm not really sure why it captivated me so much, but my mind revisits it all the time. also who put Jurgen Leitner voice in my lesbian horror story????

some honorable mentions (because it's extremely hard to pick just one episode out of 200+!)

MAG 19 ("Confession I") and 20 ("Desecrated Host II"), for it's captivating storyline and that poor priest who got beaten up by every entity all of sudden

MAG 45 - "Bloodbag", for making me think too much about mosquitoes and experiments

MAG 93 - "Contaminant", for being the one that really disturbed me

MAG 123 - "Web Development", for an interesting premise and always lingering somewhere in my mind

MAG 166 ("The Worms") , 171 ("The Gardener") and 195 ("Adrift") for describing the hellscapes so vividly they're still alive in my memory, even though i listened to them only once (haven't gotten to them yet on my re-listen)

alright fun fact about tma anon time: im deathly afraid of needles! every time i think of the next time i have to deal with a needle i feel like im gonna throw up or cry or both. mosquitos just so happen to be similar enough to needles in my mind that im terrified of them too! so bloodbag is the first episode to make me truly terrified and disgusted. infinity/10

yuck i love that episode it’s so good! i hate needles too but not t h a t much
