So I finally finished that one podcast
I think this is one of those stories that I’m going to be thinking about until I die and I’m going to start with spoilery ranting in the tags sorry
#tma
#this might be an unpopular opinion but: the ending was absolutely perfect
#I've been trying nonstop to reverse engineer how and why it worked so well for me it's just. so good
#like I have a hard time liking tragic endings sometimes because it's really easy for them to end up making it feel like character agency
#and growth and struggle didn't really matter in the end but somehow my boy jonny pulled off this impossible beautiful trick where
#the stakes were impossibly big and there was no way to win and everyone's fatal flaws got 'em in the end BUT
#the very last choice that the characters had the power to make. in the middle of all this horrible huge uncaring awfulness. was this just.
#painfully beautifully HUMAN choice to not be alone
#it was this incredible crown jewel on the series-long character arc of the archivist getting more human as he gets less human yknow?
#on the wider scale of the world it should have felt insignificant but y'all the WEIGHT that that had? the way that it Mattered so much?
#shit's gonna haunt me. the magnus archives sure is a podcast huh
#I'm still trying to put my finger on how and why it was so cathartic. like I was warned repeatedly that this show sure does have an ending
#but when it happened I just felt. light
#I realized that there were birds chirping in the background of the last scene and THAT is when I happycried
#(which makes. no sense in the wider context of the world. like cosmically technically that's not *really* a good thing)
#which comes back to!! when there are no good choices and no way to win and nothing you do will avoid causing more suffering!
#letting the choice come down to one last tiny rebellious grab at human connection?? fuck y'all this shit is going to hAUNT ME I TELL YOU
#also. you'll always get bonus points from me when the last shot of the horror movie implies that the spooky thing is still out there
#and between the whole. yeet the tapes somewhere else and the fears will follow thing and the fact that the last lines of the whole thing
#were. if anyone is listening to this I'm sorry and good luck
#I'm listening to this ohoho the tapes have landed in MY universe ohohohoho well played
#it's that creepypasta thing of like. Now that you've read this the curse has passed to you ooohoho spooky
#I'm a big sucker for that. just a little creepy knock on the fourth wall. delightful
#overly analytical rambling about podcasts on MY blog?? in the year of our lord 2021?? it's more likely than you'd think
#the magnus archives
#tma spoilers
#<that should have come earlier but I was having a moment and I'm not retyping all of that ^ lets hope this hellsite doesn't still do the
#thing where only the first few tags are search/blockable sorry
