Statement Begins (The Magnus Archives) Statement Ends

New episode!!!

 

Spoiler: Ep121 Spoilers

Okay but the best part of that episode was the implication that Oliver has just spent the past few months/years/however long having to swim home

Or, even better, he just walked along the sea floor because what is drowning when you're an avatar of the End?

 

Spoiler: 121

- Oh man love Oliver's statement, boy just wanted to escape and sleep smh

- interesting that it felt good when Oliver touched the tendrils. Seems to me like a show of a change in your nature. Like the good feelings of feeding your entity

- the Entity's tender grasp onto Oliver whenever he tried to leave. The fears are monstrous concepts but boy do they love their Avatars

- man who's the spider thats puppeting him tho will we finally get an answer for jon's web lighter

- oh man I'm hyped to get more Georgie this season oh man i wanna know about the people who visit Jon

- when Jon started breathing in the end and it was staticky, everyone on the Magnus discord lost their shit it was hilarious

- Jon just spent months in the dream hell dimension speedrunning through avatar stuff. Exploiting the death glitch

 

Spoiler: today's episode

THE A R C H I V I S T

man am i hype >:D

a List:

• good thing jon seems to be able to ask questions without compelling people
• THEY HAVENT FOUND DAISY'S BODY SO THERES STILL HOPE SHES... ALIVE-ISH. come back a full on monster bby you'll still be my fave
• ohh, that protective/territorial growl at "what did he do to martin". this is going to be. so much fun. (human "that's my friend" or inhuman "excuse you, the beholding had him first" ? WHO KNOWS BUT I'M SURE WE'LL FIND OUT AND I'M HYPE FOR IT)
• "what happened to jons clothes" is easily the no.1 most interesting dangling plot thread atm (and there are a lot of interesting dangling plot threads)
• i am now extremely excited for jon and martin to meet up again... and... if martin is still (more) human (than jon is) i... want... jon to compel him... listen. i'm here because i love suffering and can u fucking imagine. like. martin: "everything's fucked so i'm gonna go off and try to make things slightly less fucked, at great risk to my personal safety, because i genuinely care about my coworkers (and especially jon)" jon: "i've been out for 6 months and now that i'm back i'm a) significantly less human than i was before and b) back to my paranoid ways so i'm gonna betray your trust and invade your privacy by forcing you to tell me about [x thing]" it'd be fucked up! gimmie.
• yeah basira im sure this was a randomly selected statement. not related to the situation at hand at all. why would it be
• (has basira been... alone in the archives... for how long----)
• ok back to archivist!jon stuff I JUST WANT HIM TO FALL SIGNIFICANTLY FURTHER THAN HE HAS RN BEFORE HE GETS BETTER (OR DIES). CMON. GET OUT THERE AND COMPEL THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYONE WHO WON'T JUST TELL U WHAT YOU NEED TO HEAR.

thats all (no it's not but it's the most immediate thoughts)

AAAAA MELANIE
AND JON BEING SAD AT THE END ;____;

this def led me to learn more towards the whole computer thing being a web thing as opposed to a new power too

 

So someone mocked up the website from episode 123...

Heads up for some occasionally flashing background images/words, on top of the usual TMA spookiness warnings

 

Spoiler: 126

Very anxious noises over what Peter Lukas and Martin are up to

 

Spoiler: 130

So I’m catching up and HOLY SHIT I love ep. 130

I feel like this has been a really strong run in general

I didn’t really get the Flesh before this episode. I just thought of it as low key body horror and veganism, which was cool but didn’t feel as viscerally (lol) horrifying but fascinating the way some of the others did.

But the Flesh as the Demiurge? As the inescapable horror of a soul that has a body? A body that will die? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh SO GOOD

Part of it also was that I found Lucia Wright, the narrator, to be really relatable. I also like wandering around new cities and am not religious but like the aesthetics of religion. I’ve lit candles in churches without really knowing why. I was really hoping she’d end up okay, and I felt proud of her for surviving, even if she wasn’t exactly okay at the end.

 

wait wait wait we have a magnus archives thread?!

i need to wait for a transcript of both 130 and 131, i have issues following 130 narratively, and the speaker of 131 is impossible for me to listen to, sadly.

one of my favorites has to be 128.

 

now in the correct thread, with a slight edit bc i messed up who talked about the thing

that being said, im a fairchild through and through. terrified of the possibility of falling (of landing, maybe? or just the loss of control), but the sensation itself is very pleasant for me.
might moonlight for the archive tho. books!

 

a lot of people had issues with 131 as well!!! a transcript was already released for that one because of it

 

@winterykite
Heres a link to the transcript
Of 131

Rusty Quill hasn't released an official transcript for 130 yet but someone who does fan transcripts might have, I can try hunting one for you of you still need it

 

I started listening to 131 on the train and was very shortly like "Nope this ain't gonna fly" and switched to music

 

yea there were some questionable sound design choices there

 

aaaah thank you ;;_;; youre a lifesaver
and if you could dig up a fan transcript for 130 that'd be hella, i tried looking for fan transcripts but my google fu failed me...
