"Yes, for you, better Beholding, than the Lightless Flame"
Gerard Keay, MAG-012 - First Aid
#Tma#Tma spoilers#The magnus archives#Relistening to tma 12 rn and losing my shit#The foreshadowing???????#Hopefully I didn't misinterpret the injuries he had cause I've never seen Gerard drawn with full body burns#but I'm pretty sure the episode did say both of the patients arrived with full body second degree burns and in#Keay's case they ended at the neck and didn't touch the tattoos?#Also this probably isn't the most scientifically accurate second degree burn depiction you've ever seen but hey#I was depicting the vibes#And yes that's jon peeking at the left but the side you see really isn't very depictive of what I wanna get across w his design so just#ignore him#My marker cardboard in the background. Don't ignore her she's the bestest girl; she keeps markers from bleeding into the next page <3#Upd: a magical flying tie is the benefit of being affiliated with the beholding. You guys wouldn't understand#My art

A Mag a Day Day 13: Episode 012, First Aid
@a-mag-a-day me, @ Gerry Keay statements:
Moving on…. This is a nice creepy story, sort of has the feel of the first episode again. Less psychological, more Joe Spooky ™️. I like the pacing and I like how it unfolds, and I appreciate that it doesn’t go into so much detail about the injuries that it takes away from the narrative. Good balance.

Time for a Salty Meta Post about Martin!
people who’ve followed this blog for a bit know that spending six hours combing through text for some goddamn sources is my specialty, so i compiled every time jon ever talked about martin’s work in season 1. which for the record, he stopped complaining about all the way back in episode 26, where he was angry that martin of all people got hurt.
things jon gets mad at martin for:
not being able to find records that don’t exist
not being able to find someone based only on a first name
the Dog
not wearing trousers in his off-hours
being the one that got caught up in the jane prentiss thing
mag 004 and mag 012 both have jon taking potshots at martin over research that was proven accurate by outside sources
things jon has never once complained about:
martin not understanding the filing system and just putting stuff away at random
martin being clumsy, constantly ruining things, spilling tea everywhere everyday, etc
martin turning in incompetent, poorly-edited, or badly formatted reports
martin not understanding the terminology used, skills expected, etc., and generally being extremely new to the field
please for the love of god stop making martin the silly bumbling idiot who can’t do anything right just because he doesn’t have a formal education. there’s zero evidence for it in the text, and it’s really weird to act like a 4 year degree would outweigh the *10 years* of job experience he has, not just in academia, but in the institute itself by season one. my boy has worked there longer than ANY of the rest of the main cast. screw you guys.
tl;dr: martin is never once shown to be bad at his job, jon pretty much only ever gets mad at him for the really stupid first impression and also not finding stuff that no one else was able to find either. after martin got hurt, jon talks about his research basically the same way he talks about tim’s or sasha’s work.
fucking proof under the cut:
(i didnt include the s1 finale or martin’s statement bc that’s just...two entire episodes of them talking to each other, but there isn’t really any notable Martin Complaints in either of them imo)
I swear, if he’s brought another dog in here, I’m going to peel him.
[pre-launch trailer]
.
Well, technically three, but I don’t count Martin as he’s unlikely to contribute anything but delays.
[...] Alongside this Tim, Sasha and, yes, I suppose, Martin will be doing some supplementary investigation to see what details may be missing from what we have.
[MAG001 Anglerfish]
.
Martin couldn’t find any records of Ex Altiora as a title in existent catalogues of esoteric or similar literature, so I assigned Sasha to double-check. Still nothing.
[MAG004 Pageturner]
.
I had Martin conduct a follow-up interview with Mr. Woodward last week, but it was unenlightening. Apparently there have been no further bags at number 93 and in the intervening years he has largely discounted many of the stranger aspects of his experience. I wasn’t expecting much, as time generally makes people inclined to forget what they would rather not believe, but at least it got Martin out of the Institute for an afternoon, which is always a welcome relief.
[MAG005 Thrown Away]
.
Martin was unable to find the exact date the original house was built but the earliest records he could find list it as being bought by Walter Fielding in 1891.
[...]
We cannot prove any connection, but Martin unearthed a report on an Agnes Montague, who was found dead in her Sheffield flat on the evening of November 23rd 2006, the same day Mr. Lensik claims to have uprooted the tree.
[MAG008 Burned Out]
.
According to Martin, who was here when they took this statement, it was at this point in writing that Mr. Herbert announced he needed some sleep before continuing. He was shown to the break room where he went to sleep on the couch. He did not awaken; unfortunately succumbing to the lung cancer right there. Martin says the staff had been aware of how serious Mr. Herbert’s condition was, and had advised him to seek medical aid prior to giving his statement, but were told rather bluntly by the old man that he would not wait another second to state his case. I can’t decide whether this lends more or less credibility to his tale.
[MAG010 Vampire Killer]
.
“Veepalach” might also be a mishearing of the Polish word “wypalać”, according to Martin, which means to cauterize or brand. Admittedly, if Martin speaks Polish in the same way he “speaks Latin,” then he might be talking nonsense again, but I’ve looked it up and it appears to check out.
[MAG012 First Aid]
.
I sent Martin to look into this ‘Angela’ character - not that I want him to get chopped up, of course, but someone had to. Apparently, he spent three days looking into every woman named Angela in Bexley over the age of 50. He could not find anyone that matches the admittedly vague description given here, though he informs me that he had some very pleasant chats about jigsaws. Useless ass.
[MAG014 Piecemeal]
.
Martin declined to help with this investigation as he’s “a bit claustrophobic”
[MAG015 Lost John’s Cave]
.
There simply aren’t enough details given in this statement to actually investigate, short of Martin confirming that Mr. Vittery did indeed live at the addresses he provided.
[MAG016 Arachnophobia]
.
Oh, he’s off sick this week. Stomach problems, I think.
Blessed relief if you ask me.
[...]
I asked Martin to try and hunt down Mr. Adekoya himself for a follow-up, but have been informed that he passed away in 2006.
[MAG017 The Boneturner’s Tale]
.
MARTIN
Well, I need to tell someone what happened, and you can vouch for the soundness of my mind, can’t you?
ARCHIVIST
…
That is beside the point.
[MAG022 Colony]
.
Martin! Good lord man, if you’re going to be staying in the Archives, at least have the decency to put some trousers on!
[MAG023 Schwartzwald]
.
Martin found one other thing while combing through police reports for the Hither Green area. About a month after this statement was given, on May 15th, 2015, police were called out to once again investigate the chapel.
[MAG025 Growing Dark]
.
I know, but it would have to have been Martin, wouldn’t it? I mean, anything goes wrong around here, it always seems to happen to him. Anyway, we’re getting off topic. Why didn’t you report this?
[MAG026 A Distortion]
.
Martin made contact with the son, Marcus McKenzie, but he declined to talk to us, saying that he’d “already made his statement.”
[MAG027 A Sturdy Lock]
.
Tim and Martin had a bit more luck investigating Tom Haan, though only really enough to confirm that he seems to have completely vanished following his departure from Aver Meats on the 12th of July.
[MAG030 Killing Floor]
.
Martin’s research would seem to indicate the place employed a reasonable number of international staff they preferred to keep off the books
[...]
TIM
Ah well, that’s actually what he was asking, huh! Um, apparently Martin, uh, took delivery of a couple of items last week addressed to you. Did he not mention it?
ARCHIVIST
No, he… Oh, yes, actually. I completely forgot. He said he put it in my desk drawer, hold on.
[MAG036 Taken Ill]
#the magnus archives#LISTEN#i am once again asking people to remember that martin has MORE job experience at the institute than literally any other character#(except elias or i guess maybe rosie)#he's the goddamn veteran not the newbie#fan wank /

on my 3rd TMA rewatch, and i’m wondering:
Other than Gerry’s Beholding lighter, mentioned in MAG 012 (”First Aid”)*, and Jon’s Web lighter, delivered at the end of MAG 035 (”Old Passages”) and first described in MAG 036 (”Taken Ill”), have we seen / heard of any other Fear-related lighters? I’m super curious to know if each Fear has one, and what special properties they have.
I think Gerry’s lighter is the one he uses to burn Ex Altiora (though I need to look at the transcript or relisten to the episode to check to see if it’s described), and almost positive that Jon uses his Web lighter to burn Gerry’s page. In that case, I wonder, then, if the Fear-touched lighters are some of the only things capable of actually destroying Leitners. I’m not positive, but I think there might be an exchange suggesting that Martin uses Jon’s lighter to burn the statements in MAG 118 (”The Masquerade”).
Just thinkin’ thoughts about how objects and people touched by the Fears seem to be the only effective way of hurting other objects & people touched by the Fears. Hmm.
ETA: Nvm, just looked at the MAG 004 transcript, and Gerry uses lighter fluid and a box of matches to destroy the book ... so much for that theory u_u
Tho! I am still interested to see if other Fear-aligned lighters show up!

MAG 012: First Aid
Yikes. The scariest bit is the nurse allowing the man to kill the other. Hate that. What about your fuckin Socratic oath?? I’m really freaked out by medical malpractice as a rule, partially because of the utter helplessness one has on doctors, and partially because it’s real and it happens all the time.
The bottles exploding from boiling in the vending machine is pretty funny though

Threshold received 100 votes last round for a total of 285, while First Aid had 126 votes in Round One, but earned a bypass for Redemption Round One. Threshold may have made it farther in the main bracket, but can it sustain its wins in the Redemption Rounds?
