I’ve seen so many fanarts with similar idea but I just listened to the Colony again and couldn’t help myself. I am certain Miss Prentiss wrote a winking emoji after writing ‘keep him’.

Bonus under the cut based on this post that @sparkzstar tagged me in <3

Hello, Jon

I will be a little late to work today, I am not sure how late, but I will be there. I have been trying to find a way out of my room for almost two weeks. There is a woman-shaped flesh-hive behind the door, and when I move, it moves, and when it squirms, its worms make this awful squishing noise like some vessel of horror. We are locked in a stalemate and I am slowly running out of canned peaches.

Respectfully, I am in tears,

Martin K. Blackwood

not against the idea of martin not caring whether jon sees him in his underwear because he knows he's hot, but really i think he's high on the freedom of doing whatever the fuck while his boss is too guilty about being a dick to do anything about it besides tell him to put some trousers on

#tma #the magnus archives #im a martin didnt have a thing for jon until after the end of s1 truther #martin blackwood #s1 post-colony jonmartin is solidarity in being the only archive staff who care about the Worm Woman

i think, like, any book on the relationship btwn capitalism and whiteness/white supremacy should be required reading before some of y’all post/write about jonahlias magchard

#quasartalks #tma #the magnus archives #elias bouchard #jonah magnus #tma crit #the magnus archives crit #fandom crit #fandom racism #this man is the textual embodiment of capitalism and therefore of white supremacy #like. jonny could not have made it more obvious if he put a glowing sign on elias’s head saying THIS MAN IS THE EPITOME OF WHITE CAPITALISM #he is not brown. he is not jewish. he is not trans. if he IS queer he is a cis white gay man actively engaging in racial and #—colonial violence #do you think a wealthy white brit in the 1800s who is actively designing and building a prison to observe the suffering of its incarcerated-#-inmates ISNT a violent white supremacist?? hello????#inspired by shitty takes we were complaining abt in discord <3 #he’s not a ~burnt out gifted kid~. he’s not a ~fallen hero~. he’s not a hyper flamboyant caricaturized gay man.#he is a violent abusive white supremacist capitalist.#mwah <3 #do not archive

Commenting on the the magnus archives episodes, part 3 (I think) - spoilers ahead

MAG 16 Arachnophobia: I was fully prepared for that episode to destroy me, I can't stand spiders, but now I feel like it could have been worse, at least it was only one spider at a time, my nightmares are filled with a bunch of spiders... which I guess he got at the end, but that wasn't described in great detail, so I was okay. Apropos the end: I was a bit confused because I read this episode was the most obviously paranormal one, and honestly, thinking the spiders from your youth are haunting you isn't so much paranormal, I thought episode 15 with her beeing found with candles she didn't pack was worse, but then I got to the end, and him beeing found incased in Web... uah. And come on John, you wanna try to reason that they came from one week of lying there?! Ugh

MAG 17, the Bone Turner's Tale: immediately after the first few sentences I was like: oh no, this is a Leitner one, isn't it? And sure enough it was... I don't even know what else to say to this except type out the Leitner Rant, but that is a lot of text, and this post will already be very long. At least John is a bit more inclined to believe the tale when there is Leitner involved.

MAG 18 The Man upstairs: I needed a bit more time for that episode because I have a very active imagination and got nauseous towards the end...

MAG 19 Confession | & MAG 20 Desecrated Host || : love the connection to the hilltop Road episode. Also, did somebody say religious trauma? Because these episodes screamed in answer. The beginning of 19 was... worrying to say the least - "We will get to the cannibalism of course" ehm, hold on, what? On another note, these episodes made me suspect that John's predecessor realy had a sorting system because that was at least the third episode in a row with the flesh entitie! While I honestly was just waiting for the first appearance of the Vast...

MAG 21 Freefall: finally, the Vast, I don't know what exactly sparked my obsession with it, but I like this entitie (as much as you can like a fear personified) since I first saw a art-tiktok about it weeks ago. Nothing much to say to this episode tho, except that John got sceptic again, he had such a good run of taking things seriously before.

Ending the Episode with the quote "By God Martin, what are these things?!" Was a choice...

MAG 22 Colony: Did I ever mention before that I love Martin? Well, I do, and now that he actually speaks for himself once, I feel even more justified in saying that.

Two options here "poor Martin, just wanted to show a picture to his (future) boyfriend" or "King wanted to stick it to his asshole Boss" I'm in the party of both. Both is good.

Also, after this episode the following post I found on Pinterest suddenly makes a lot more sense

I also asked myself how much the entities blurr together, because, while this was mainly corruption, there was also darkness because the lights didn't work in Martins flat, right?

I was so happy when John showed that he cared for Martin, in telling him to life in the institute for now :)

The creepy text messages at the end sparked a conversation between me and @regulus-needs-swimminglessons and I wanted to share one of his comments to that:

These text are so funny because there are basically 2 options

1 (the boring one) Jon and Martin don't text a lot so Jon doesn't actually know what Martin's texting style is like so Jane was able to impersonate him easily

2 (the better option) Jane was looking through the past texts giggling and kicking her feet while reading funny passages out loud for her worm friends so she could copy his texting style but she had to hold back to not end every message with "❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰😍😘😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱😘😘🥰🥰❤️"

MAG 24 Schwarzwald: at first I was convinced that the headline was read by someone else than John, because it sounded weird to me. Then I got reminded that German words, like Schwarzwald, just get pronounced weirdly by englishspeakers, which is totally normal, so back to the story. An old letter to Jonah Magnus, did Elias read these 👀. The comment that there was no account of a Johann von Württemberg confused me, because Johann is/was a fairly common german name, especially in the higher up families. And there was in fact a Johann Friedrich von Württemberg who lived from 1582 to 1628, but that's not the one reported here, I would guess. He ruled as the 7th Duke at that time. Anyway, the Grave gave me slight Lukas-Family vibes, even tho I know that not the case, the involved entitie here is the Eye not the Lonely (even tho it kind of screams the lonely to me too, I mean, it's the Schwarzwald, and he described it as silent on lonely, but oh well)

Martin, scaring John by walking though the archive without pants. 🤣

Sir that is his living room and he can wear whatever he wants 😌 Martin can do whatever he wants, wherever he wants, just because he's awesome, and I love him.

MAG 24 Strange Music: I don't like dolls, I don't like clowns, and that's all I'm gonna say to that... But there is finally an appearance from sasha, which is awesome ^^ And again, something incredible: John is inclined to believe a Statement woob woob

MAG 25 Growing Dark: I mentioned religious trauma before, and I will mention it again, because this is exactly that. A bit frustrating to go back to "mh, we don't believe this because the author isn't even believing himself"

MAG 16 Distortion: Michael! My Dude! Be a dear and miracle me a towel, would you? Oh whops, wrong fandom, wrong quote... anyway, hello Michael, and hello Sasha. Its a bit sad to hear every archival assistant tell in their statement that they feared to come forward because John would judge them... But Sasha is hurt, and the "most level headed" so of course he believes her. Also, she's a little heroine, because she went to that place only to save John (and Martin, and the Archive, but oh well) first time that not beeing able/wanting to quit got mentioned, intrigued for the future.

MAG 27 A sturdy Lock: Everything involving the spiral always confuses me. I feel sorry for the old man, and am very interested what the statement from his Son is gonna be. But what do you meant the door had no knob or keyhole at the end?!

That's all for now, I'm currently listening to MAG 28 Skintight, but that will be in my next post I assume. So good bye, I hope you had fun with my incoherent rambling. (And again: please excuse my grammar, English is not my first language)

Okay byyyyeeee

jon actually tried to call martin back several times about his texts about being "sick" when jane prentiss was actually trapping him, which i didn't realize. everyone is like "jon is an asshole who didn't notice martin was being attacked by the worm lady" but actually jon looked at the texts (from martin's phone) that said "hey i'm sick" and just thought martin was either too sick to even call him back or else was being a dick about it and refusing to respond lmao. don't get me wrong s1 jon can be a major asswipe in general and directs that at martin specifically very often but i don't think he deserves any real flack for this particular instance

When you hear that song that tells you to break into the attic and plunge your arm into the swirls of pulp and paper to grasp that unending plane of wriggling forms swarming in and out of the distended pores and honeycombed flesh…

Possibly an entry for @a-mag-a-day ? Does it scratch that itch?

#yes this is my attic and I fully plan to stick my arm into that for a Prentiss cosplay shoot #not before thoroughly checking it beforehand of course #it’s an old hornets’ nest so it’s vacant and will not be reused by a new colony #tma #the magnus archives #magnuspod #mag 32 #hive #insects #jane prentiss #tw insects

friend of mine who is considerably less online is listening to tma completely blind and i am so excited for him. like when i started tma i knew jon was gonna become some kind of divine eye being, that jonmartin was a thing (tho i didn't realize it was canon until i accidentally got spoiled around the beginning of s3), that jurgen leitner brutal pipe murder was a thing that happened, all sorts of imagery about the eye, that elias was Something, the phrase "ceaseless watcher turn your gaze upon this wretched thing", nikola orsinov existed -- he doesn't know ANY of that. i cannot wait to hear his thoughts on this.

#he's in the middle of confession currently #hes so close to colony im losing my mind #tma
