idk stupid angler fish meme

part one of the 200 part series, “Can Nik manage to actually draw a representation of every TMA episode in ink?”

Magtober Day 13 - Monsters/Creatures [Tw//cigarette]

Perfect spooky prompt for Friday the 13th!! Mag1 - Angler Fish holds a special place in my heart. Just something about it being such a wonderful opening episode that gives you a taste of the fear that's to come, all while actually becoming sorta relavant later in the plot? Mmm, love it <3

My goal for Magtober is to do a sketch every day according to the prompt. I've been suffering from that headspace where every peice needs to be a finished piece, so I'm tryin to break that.

“can i have a cigarette?”

So I've started to listen to the Magnus Archives (I'm on episode 10) and all I have to say is I LOVE IT

Inktober Day 3: Anglerfish

Day three with some Magnus Archives, which I miss dearly. I relistened to the first episode recently and fell in love with it all over again.

Song of the Day:

professional courtesy? don't know her

Canaries should stay above ground…

(the quality is so bad omg)

Me (bad at remembering characters): ah I finally remember all of the main cast :)

Episode 6 of tmagp: anyway here's a new character

Okay. Okay, there's a bunch of wildly speculative stuff that I can't quite pin down right now, so for now I'm going to stick with a couple definite points and just a tiny bit of the speculation:

Point 1: The case from TMAGP 4 is dated November 19, 1831, according to its case number. That's only two days before the letter in MAG 127, from Jonathan Fanshawe to Jonah Magnus, that detailed how Albrecht Von Closen died.

Which is interesting not just because of the dates, but because how Albrecht died seems REALLY FUCKING SIMILAR to what we know about what happened to Red Canary. Albrecht took a bunch of books from the Württemberg tomb. He went wildly off the rails. And when he tried to return what he had taken:

"Do I need to tell you what I found, Jonah? Do I need to detail what covered his organs, his bones, the inside of his skin? What clustered together in their dozens, and all turned as one to focus on me as I opened his chest, their pupils constricting in the light, with irises of every hue and color?" (MAG 127)

Point 2: As I said over here, TMAGP 3's case is dated very close to when Anya Villette crossed between realities at Hilltop Road. They're only about three weeks apart, which seems pretty close for coincidence considering Anya's the only character we see definitely make that crossing at any point in TMA. The timing gets closer if you recall that Anya landed in TMA's world two weeks before she went to Hilltop Road in hers.

The tiny bit of speculation that I'm posting for now in a desperate attempt to conserve my sanity:

There's all this emotional/thematic resonance between the case files each voice has read and the characters they each appear to be linked to (if not to be outright), and I've been pretty swept up in that. And still am, won't lie! But I'm starting to suspect that they (or whatever is behind them) are actually searching, very deliberately, for something else entirely, and using potentially significant touchpoints from TMA's world as starting places. And that the cases we're actually hearing, and many of the thematic parallels they contain, may be only tangential to that.

*I worship you Tumblr don’t remove it

Goth boi doodles!

au where season 1 jon sims works for ghost hunt uk instead of the magnus institute and its just shane madej from ghost files but british and posh

Happy anniversary of Graham being taken by the not-them to all who celebrate <3

Relistening to the magnus archives and it struck me how jon isn't really all that much of a sceptic at all in the early episodes even when he consistently points to alcohol/drug use and potential head injuries etc from the statement givers. Like yes he points out a lot of inaccuracies in their statements but he actually seems to believe a lot of the supernatural stuff. He believes timothy hodge and immediately mentions how they're going to have to deal with jane prentiss soon. Obviously the leitner in episode 4 as well. It's less like he doesn't believe these people and more like he hopes they're not true because that would mean there is one less thing he has to fear in the world
