I think Jon smashing that table was the moment I really fell in love with tma. That's when I realized, oh, this is a show about a man who is not cut out to be a protagonist but is forced to be one anyway. This is a show were people try their best and still fail spectacularly. Every character in this show sucks in their own special way but you still can't help but love them. You really don't find this kind of show everyday. People say this all the time, but I really mean it when I say that tma has permanently altered my brain chemistry. I haven't been this obsessed with something in a long time.

zoscar, as promised 😌

another big difference between tma and tmagp is that in tma, the listener is essentially on the same page as jon at all times. you know what he knows, and when he discovers something new, he immediately tells you. but in tmagp, everyone already knows more than you. and they won't tell you. you just have to try to listen in at the right time.

it's kind of tied to tape recorders; in tma, your existence as the listener is justified. it has a purpose. you are the tape recorder. that's why you get to know everything. in tmagp, you're not supposed to be listening. what you get is scattered, contextless scenes, starring people who don't know that you're listening.

and i fucking love that.

the fact that both of these designs are official is horrifying

ok 1) Sir look at your audience XD 2) from the guy who said Jared was the hottest guy in TMA

SAM: I got a weird email from “John” with a random name and an address

MAGP09

LENA: You are to visit a man by the name of “Nigel Dickerson” and hand him this envelope which contains a name and address

Gwen is gonna be this podcast's Fun Times person

Since bonzo is officially here, here's some absolutely cursed images I've created during the magnus protocol arg

How are we feeling chat

The most unexpected thing about this chapter yet is that Colin is still alive AND he tried to get therapy

i do think jonny succeeded in making an untwinkable monster this episode

OHHH SOFT STATIC AND WHIRRING OF RUNNING TAPE HOW I MISSED YOU

Alice. Alice please. I can't.

“Uncredited as Mr Bonzo” that’s a neat way of saying it’s alex doing a funny voice again

Well this feels awfully familiar

can we talk about the fact that chester started talking Unprompted. like. It's supposed to be that you click an item on their gay little case list right? and sometimes it'll be a talker. Sam was filling out Physical Paperwork and as soon as Celia walks away, Chester starts a-chattering. Sam didn't do SHIT. He even goes "what the hell" because YEAH MAN, WHAT THE HELL. I haven't heard much on That Bit yet. Like hello. Chester. Do you have something you'd like to share with the class that you can only do in borrowed words, king?
