“The fact is that Rachel and me had been sat there chatting for maybe five minutes when we noticed we weren’t alone. In the doorway leading back to the stairwell stood a thin figure.”

"" As an idiot teenager, I hunted Leitner’s books with the best of them, even found a few. I’d bring them home, and watch her eyes light up. But it was always the books that she was happy to see. "" - MAG 111: Family Business

I've brought this up before but in s1 and s2 whenever the door is open during regular work hours there's a distinct hubbub of an active office with far more than just three staff members outside. this was almost certainly a mistake resulting from a breakdown in communication about just how isolated the archives are from the rest of the institute and I have never once seen it acknowledged in any meta discussions or fan works, but it is technically canon that for a while the basement was a bustling work environment filled with people, and then at some point as the situation got more and more dire they all just. weren't there anymore. whoosh gone.

One of my silly dreams is to someday own mechanisms merchandise. Not the stuff currently on red bubble but merch made by the actual band. I would probably pay a stupid price to get that merch.

Ok relistening to the magnus archives is wild cause you go back to see if you can notice all the little details and forshadowing you wouldn’t have thought anything of the first time through and let me tell you jonny is not fucking subtle at all. Mag 35 just? literally lays it all out right in front of you?? That early?? I dont even remember this entire episode but it literally just gives away everything that is about to happen? The fears, smirke, gerry keye is there, leitner… i am going insane

Why don't we talk about MAG 35 more? Which book did Gerard get in the meat hallway? Was it the Boon Turner's Tale? Why was he carrying bird bones? How did the 13 doors hold a fear each, how are they there? Why was this building not brought up again? What killed that guy? How was Smirke doing that? If Smirke was so good at dealing with all the fears, we he an archivist? Is so, how did he not start the end?

Big Sebastian Skinner energy coming from Alf right now. Is this just what all plumbers are like in TMA?

Teen Gerry Teen Gerry Teen Gerry 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰🥰😍😍😘
Ahh, the era when his most notable feature was his terribly maintained hair and not his dozens of unsettling eye tattoos or horrific burn scars. At least he did a decent job on the dye this time. And Gerry my beloved, I get the temptation to avoid washing your hair to keep the dye from fading for as long as possible, but it's probably worth it to just invest in some better quality shampoo.
I'm pretty sure the band shirt he's wearing is supposed to be Mastodon, but Megalodon and Megadeath and also good guesses. Everyone who thinks it's the Mechanisms is a genius with a galaxy brain.

My man be hiding in the shadows for indeterminate amounts of time, waiting for his opportunity to be cryptic.
Tumblr media
Hmmm... for some reason this description forgot to mention that he has the world's shittiest beard get away from me?
Extremely funny that Leitner is established to have an accent in canon and then later it gets retconned that he was just faking it (I guess because Mr Sims Sr couldn't do a decent Norwegian accent?) Also great that his office is completely empty because Leitner doesn't actually do anything other than be a waste of space.
Tumblr media
First canon appearance of the man himself and he immediately goes about establishing that he's a massive cunt. [Insert entire Leitner rant here.]
Tumblr media
Who are you calling a burnout? 😠
Big fan of the statement-giver trying to kick Gerry out (good luck) while being undermined by Rachel the Treasure Hunter over here like 'You tellin me there's good shit down in this basement?? Lead the way my dude.'
Tumblr media
'I was so mesmerised by the smell of paper that I let a random kid steal my tools and go to town on the wall. Oops.'
Fuck! Yes! King! Smash that wall!! You're so strong and pretty, you can do whatever you want. I don't even care about you endangering these people.
Tumblr media
His mom knows about mysterious basement renovations, obviously.
I love that he just sits and unhelpfully listens to music while the adults are talking. Classic teens, amiright??
Tumblr media
All of them are insane for deciding to explore the walled up tunnel that screams at you when you open it. (Except for you Gerry, you're a treasure and we're thrilled to have you here with us.) Another instance of people being doomed by their desire to know.

I was listening to Mag 35, Old Passages, and it’s so funny listening back.
Like as far as the story goes it so obviously exists to show that there are 14 categories, 14 fears that we’re gonna be focusing on in podcast, and giving a few noticeable examples of what’s happening in the various tunnels is a great story move to show us what Fear Categories we have.
But in context of the narrative, what the fuck Mr Smirke?
I know, right, I know that this man was obsessed with balance of the supernatural but what the genuine fuck did this man have to do to attract and isolate each flavor of fear into each tunnel and KEEP THEM SEPARATE AND ISOLATED TO THAT TUNNEL? Like we know canonically that Smirke’s 14 is just a classification, it’s just one way to organize these broad categories of fear gods to better fit human understanding. So we’re to understand that this man somehow attracted each type of fear that he saw in the world into these concrete tubes and just had them chill there?
It brings to mind the idea of an oyster making a pearl around a grain of sand. Like Robert Smirke put some kind of bait into each tunnel for a fear to take over. Carefully going into each tunnel, sprinkling some dirt for the buried, a few insects for the corruption, an account of a fear for the eye, a little doll for the stranger, so the Fear would take notice and make its home there.
And the most interesting thing here is that Robert Smirke just. Had Spooky Club meetings in there. He somehow trapped embodiments of fourteen fear gods in fourteen tunnels and kept them there and he did this so that he could show it off to his bros? What the hell was the Carlton Club? Do I want to know what Robert and the spooky boys were doing in the fear tunnels every Saturday night?
