MAG 4 IS A FUCKIN TRIP AND A HALF, Y’ALL

In ONE (1) episode we meet BOTH gerry keay (my beloved book burning old man beating goth son) and Mary Keay (bitchass evil book lady horrible mother burn her ass), AND we hear the story of Mike Crew (sexy sky king), A N D we are introduced to the Library of Jurgen Leitner (stupid idiot motherfucking jurgen leitner goddamn fool book collecting dust eating rat old-)

We also learn that mary is supposed to be DEAD and gerry is supposed to be the one who KILLED HER, but before we have a chance to process aNY of this information we get smacked out of left field by jonathan “most of the stories in the archives are bullshit drug trips” jarchivist sims immediately going “oh leitner? fuck that guy. for real, tho. gotta go tell elias that apparently his books are still floating around out there so that we can send every person who works for the magnus institute out and destroy them all. Dangerous evil books.”

AND T H E N before we can process THIS character development, jon proclaims that he would like to meet the weird goth dude who purportedly killed and skinned his own mother. Cuz one guy said that this dude burned a leitner one (1) time. No mention of the murder of the mother is made.

11/10 episode. No notes, Jonny.

Still having TMA brainworms. So here is my rendition of Mary Keay. When listening to MAG4 I immediately had this picture of how she looks in my mind.

If anyone who reads/speaks sanskrit sees this, I’m sorry, I tried to make sure it’s not complete gibberish.

a question for those who are totally normal, they promise, about Gerry Keay

could you please either reply to this post, or send me an ask, with patches/patch designs you think Gerry would wear on a pair of 'patch pants'? it's for science, ahaha. I'd be eternally grateful <3

#tma #the magnus archives #magnus pod #the magnus pod #the rusty quill #mag 4 #gerry keay #gerard keay #if you're cool enough to read the tags you're cool enough to know why I'm asking #I'm cosplaying Gerry for Halloween this year #and I'm making a shit ton of patches because in my mind #he wears patch pants #he's canonically a painter so a bunch of them are ones he's made #anyways thank you

Throwback to the first time I listened to MAG 4 and zoned out when they gave Gerry's physical description so I imagined him to be something like

Thinking about how Gerry is an artist and Mary Keay canonically has at least one of his paintings on display for guests to see.

in MAG 4 (statement of dominic swain reguarding ex altiora) gerry is described as having “the unshaven look of someone who hadn’t slept in a couple of days”

i like to think that from this point on, gerry grows out a stupid hipster mustache that curls at the end. can you imagine a young goth gerry with a little fancy mustache and like full goth makeup

What if Dexter Banks read t w o Leitner books while seeking his spider movie?

This weekend I listened to Magnus Archives Episode 110, "Creature Feature". And ever since I started to hear this marvellous tale of a film director and his ominous spider film, I felt a connection to something from the library of Jurgen Leitner.

To "A Guest For Mr, Spider", of course. Because it's obviously The Web at work here. Because Big Fucking Spider. Because people vanished, just like people do when reading "Mr. Spider". And the timing makes perfect sense, too, with the book getting destroyed at the end of the statement, and we did not hear any of it again (Jon's own story about it is much earlier, of course). That was the obvious part. And now please hear me out.

What if our poor director read more than one Leitner book? We were told he could nowhere find any hint of the ominous "Spiders Are Eating" movie, so maybe he looked into any book that had some similarity with what he recalled. And a lot of the things he described - an isolated community, a huge creature posing a threat that cannot be fought, people ending their life by suicide - also connect to another book from the library of Jurgen Leitner.

So yes, I think before finding "A Guest For Mr. Spider", Dexter Banks found "Ex Altiora". I know. It's connected to The Vast, not The Web. But I think it has enough to interest Banks. And the timing makes sense, too, with the events of the fateful film production ending in early 2012. Alexia Crawley specifically mentions to have destroyed just one book, which I'm sure was "Mr. Spider", so "Ex Altiora" had up to eleven months of time to somehow get into that Notting Hill Oxfam shop where Dominic Swain found it according to episode 4, "Page Turner".

To me that makes perfect sense. Plus, I really l o v e "Ex Altiora" so I'm happy to give it as many head canon cameos as possible.

Magnus Archives Relisten, MAG 4 Page Turner, Spoiler Free Version!

Spoiler free version of my analysis of MAG 4, Page Turner. Enjoy!

Facts: Statement of Dominic Swain, regarding a book briefly in his possession in the winter of 2012.

Statement Notes: Starting simple, I would just like to say that as a theatre tech, Swain is so accurate and so real. "Doing a little bit of everything?" Real. Trying to see friends work but you also work at the same time? Real. Work place romance? Real. Not being able to relax when you see a play because you know all the tech stuff that can go wrong? Really real.

There's some really classic cursed object horror going on here that I love. Swain tries to sell the book the whole episode, but calls it "his book" fleeing Mary. Additionally, he says that he thought about giving it away, but felt that "wouldn't count." Very similar to Do Not Open here and a lot of cursed object horror in that there needs to be some kind of debt or reciprocity established rid one of the object.

I also just love the line "walking felt as natural as falling." It really conjures the idea that he can't control himself, that he's stumbling to Mary's shop uncontrollable just as he would fall down the stairs: completely unable to stop. It's like the vertigo attacked Katherine had was multiplied for him here.

Character Notes: My biggest takeaway about Jurgen Leitner in this ep is that he doesn't spell his name with an umlaut like others. Why did Jonny include that detail. What does that for me.

I also love Gerard Keay so much. He listens to death metal, he paints, he goes against his mom, he burns books. Such a strange and unstoppable force of a person. That news article about his trial really makes you scared of him, but you also kind of want to trust him? Especially when you place him next to his really scary cursed-book-collecting mother. The contrast and the different kinds of nerves/dread you feel listening to their descriptions is just an example of great horror writing.

I think it's so weird that Swain couldn't find anything online about him, though. These books and Jurgen Leitner are clearly around, so wouldn't there be some kind of chat room or reddit post about one? Builds my theory that there is something controlling the stream of information about the supernatural in this universe. Something is trying to contain it all to the archive.

But of course, Jon. He doesn't believe in the supernatural, but is absolutely terrified of Leitners and is working on an "institute project" to eradicate them? I would love to know how this project worked. Was it just research? Was there a team dedicated to finding and collecting these books? What was the incident in 1994? Why does Jon have this job if he doesn't believe in the supernatural? Does he think only some of it counts?

Crazy ep, one of my favorites. Let me know what you think!
