i’d expect the content warnings are just content warnings, but i think the “Topic 1 () -/- topic 2 ()” are definitely plot relevant. since we know celia is so lax with filing, and we’ve heard cases which celia has filed, this raises a question about who (or what) is making the case tags and descriptions we see in the episode descriptions, and about how one gets a misfile. if the episode description tags are the “correct” ones, how off does someone have to be to get a misfile? what’s the acceptable range of tags? what’s an acceptable level of detail?

So - about Celia just wanting to file a case as ‘dog’ and not wanting to tag in great detail.

And I wonder if she’s been doing this a lot lately and why?

The complex, very specific tagging system the OIAR has seems to be for the purpose of allowing someone, or something in the future to find these specific cases again. To allow someone (possibly some kind of - archivist) to easily track down a very specific case, person or entity. Or fear.

Maybe the reason Celia is so lax on tagging is to make cases more difficult for anyone else to find? So if they’re searching for that dog, for example, they have to go through every dog case, instead of being able to go to the right one.

And it’s interesting that for such a comprehensive tagging system, there’s no entry for ‘archivist’. Even without the connotations in the Magnus world, anyone who’s ever read M.R. James knows the kind of trouble archivists can get into.

Also, is it just me, or does the meticulously detailed and comprehensive list of content warnings for each episode feel like a tagging system too?

Why do so many people make tiktoks while they're clearly driving. What the fuck. Stop that shit, you're gonna kill someone.

western countries (with colonial histories and whose current policies and settler status of their states remain oppressive towards many communities around them and the world) who also frequently pride themselves for being 'democratic'... are beyond DISGRACEFUL.

sorry i let my mind wander for a second and i started thinking about jonathan magnus archives sims again. sorry.

…

but have you ever thought about how he says that daisy taking him to the forest to kill him was the most powerless he’s ever felt and yet he throws himself into a coffin to rescue her and yet he talks to her and yet they go for drinks together and yet he calls her for help and yet they were almost friends by the end. and yes, jon acts in self-destructive ways but have you ever thought about the amount of compassion and empathy he must have to do that

and do you ever think about daisy and how she thought jon was a monster and a killer and she was planning to kill him after the unknowing and she changes the way she sees him and when he rescues her from the coffin they both think themselves monsters and they each feel that the other is the only one in the world, or at least the only one near them, who could ever understand

oh. um. sorry. i’ll just, uh, yeah. apologies for- okay, i’ll stop

Jonny Sims when TMA first ended: yeah I mean I'm really proud of it but I'm also kind of relieved it's over and that we actually finished it! It'll be nice to move on to other projects and I don't plan on doing like a sequel or prequel or anything like that.

ouu i really dont remember where the post was but someone said like "the fandom generally makes martin's hair growth less obvious compared to jon's" which like i have my personal reasoning for something similar:

do you think jon paranoia sims would be getting frequent haircuts compared to martin kgirlboss blackwood

[the-forsaken-void]

my headcanons for the pet names the magnus archives characters use

jon - dear. you can just hear him saying it to martin can't you. grab me the salt would you dear?

martin - sweetheart. he really only would break out the pet names when jon is being particularly pitiful and he's trying to comfort his boyfriend.

tim - babe, which he uses on everyone all the time. i firmly believe he's accidentally let babe slip out to elias once and still thought about it at night for weeks afterward. if he's being particularly annoying at the time and knows it, scrumpkins.

sasha - not a big pet name user. people have names for a reason. she'll let a darling slip out every now and again with her partner.

melanie - babe, with the occasional love peppered in when she's feeling particularly sappy.

georgie - look me in the eyes and tell me she doesn't radiate hon energy. maybe honey if she's in public.

daisy - pet names? her girlfriend isn't a dog, thank you very much.

basira - same.

elias - dear, in a very sappy and overdramatic way until it becomes his default over time.

peter - no thank you.

gerry - like tim, he really lays the pet names on thick when he's being annoying or goofing off. otherwise a simple babe will do that job

michael - shelley would say the word angel without a shred of irony in his voice because he's that kind of guy. distortion would say darling and rolls the r's just enough to make it uncomfortable

i was having a bad day so i listened to a magnus archives episode and now i’m like, really, this is my fucking comfort show?!
