Anyway so Lovely by twenty one pilots is so entity coded (actually a LOT of TOP songs are TMA coded ive realized)
Allow me to explain
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out (The Corruption)
I hear a second voice behind your tongue somehow (The Stranger)
Luckily I can read your mind (The Eye), flies and cobwebs unwind
They will not take you down (The Hunt and/or The Slaughter), they will not cast you out, out (The Lonely)
Dear friend, here we are again
Pretending to understand how you think your world is ending (The Extinction)
Sending signals and red flags in waves
It's hard to tell the difference between blood and water these days (The Slaughter?)
I'll pray that one day you see
The only difference between life and dying (The End)
Is one is trying, that's all we're called to do
So try to love me and I'll try to save you
Won't you stay alive? I'll take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely (The Spiral) (manipulation sorta? Not bad but making someone believe something lol it’s a stretch I know)
Won't you stay alive? I'll take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely
Your redemption won't grow stale
We are now just setting sail
On the seas of what we fear (The Vast) (cause it includes deep waters idk)
Treason now is growing near to me (The Spiral?)
I'm coming clean (The Eye) (cuz secrets)
God, hit me straight on
God, hit me straight on, on, on
Won't you stay alive? I'll take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely
Won't you stay alive? I'll take you on a ride
I will make you believe you are lovely
Don't be gone, don't be gone (The Lonely, The End, The Desolation (?))
Don't be gone, don't be gone
Don't be gone
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
You say things with your mouth, cobwebs and flies come out
Lmk if I missed anything lol

Archivist!Tim AU
Okay, so I've been playing around with a TMA AU where Tim becomes Head Archivist and has to go through all of the "being marked by the Fears" stuff.
Except Elias has a new idea. He wants his Archivist to be marked by the Entities in a more... intimate way.
Is this AU just an excuse to write smut for my favorite bisexual Magnus Institute employee? Yes. But I've been thinking about it for a while, so I've finally started writing it.
First chapter's almost done. There should only be 15 chapters plus a short epilogue-type chapter set in Season 5, during the Eyepocalypse.
Might post details about the AU later, might just write them into the fic itself. Not sure yet.
Look out for "Tim and the Fears" on AO3!

So I'm writing my term paper about The Magnus Archives and have been relistening to season 1 as a way to try to organize my thoughts and Fuck I Miss This Podcast
also i hate how it ended even more bc a running theme throughout the podcast UNTIL THE VERY END is how inescapable the Entities are. We see all sorts of attempts to avoid or thwart them and sometimes they do work for a while, but I think we forget that even absolute icons like Joshua Gillespie or that guy who left the Spiral because he was going to be late for dinner still were impacted enough by their experience to come to the Magnus Institute in the first place
And that by coming there Guess What They're Lowkey Marked By
I don't care what the Magnus Protocol or any part of canon will say/says, the Entities should not be banishable. Not without some kind of massive psychological shift in all life on Earth that eliminates fear.
Do you know how many of the S1 statements talk about watching? Nearly all of them involve it, of course because that's the easiest way to show gruesome spooky things + justify why there's someone alive to tell the tale, but in the context of TMA, I think it's extremely important that it's brought up in nearly every statement
There's always a point where the statement givers comments about their watching: they stay in a Situation longer because some part of them wants to see, they feel they can do nothing else so they watch, they return to the location of the Situation after it has initially passed, there's always a point where they could have left it alone but they don't because they feel like they can't.
The avatars might have petty squabbles between themselves about their "respective" patrons. But the Entities themselves seem very content to give a sizeable portion of those they've marked, at least partially, to the Eye.
#tma#the magnus archives#tma the entities#tma the eye#mine#in other words: I Maintain That The Entities Are All Friends Actually#well#not friends#but not divided into neat little clans like smirke and co. believe#i hate jurgen leitner but his analogy about an ant trying to understand a human is very very salient#except where i'm pretty sure based on how canon plays out he's talking about individual manifestations of one entity vs the entire entity#i'm choosing to interpret it as one entity vs That Which Is Fear#the Entities are not fundamentally distinct... well... entities#but parts of a fractured whole#it's no cosmic skin off their metaphorical backs if a victim of one entity ends up claimed by or serving another#they're just trying to get as much tasty tasty fear as possible#i think of them like a bunch of mouths that all lead to one stomach#sometimes they might go for the same target#iirc it's either ivo lensik or father burroughs(?) who is compelled to call out 'i'm already marked. i'm not for you' or something to that#effect#but anyway yeah sometimes they're essentially trying to extract fear from the same source in different ways#and one 'mouth' will kinda say to the other#'hey i think i can do this best buzz off'#and sometimes they listen#but there are also times where they basically draw and quarter a motherfucker#like father edwin burroughs(?)#(i forget how his last name is spelled)#who was gangbanged by nearly all the entities#which is hilarious to listen to in retrospect#bc this man just goes out of one frying pan and into several fires

I actually like how after every episode of tmagp some tma-listeners analyse statements like sommelier when he talks about some rich wine like hmmm this one is clearly the lonely with a slight hint of the stranger and maybe notes of the spiral and I think I can sense some desolation in here
#the magnus protocol#tmagp#the magnus archives#tma#tma spoilers#you can describe literally anything using tma entities and it is beautiful

i think my favourite horror trope is what i like to call "it gets better before it gets worse". the evil is seemingly defeated. the worst is apparently over. it was tough, and maybe you didn't all make it out in one piece, but you made it. except that you didn't. you're still infected, still marked. you bring the horror with you wherever you go. and there's no timeframe after which you can say you're safe with any certainty. it might lie dormant for years, just waiting for you to turn your back to it long enough to let it find you again. it knows your scent, now. it can hunt you down wherever you go.
#🐉#i cant really list examples because so many horror narratives make use of this#tma utilised it really well in a narratively aware sense with the whole catch and release tactic the entities had going on

Whenever I see people speculating that Protocol's powers are based on love or desire, my brain goes back to MAG 111:
And I can't help but wonder if the seed of Protocol was the writers saying "but what if Gerry was wrong?"

(grabbing your face) do you remember simon fairchild's statement about how he became an avatar. how he fell and the sky embraced him. i think about it all the time. how it would feel to be embraced by the vast. the entity that is about how you are insignificant before the endless void, holding you. the fact that being an avatar of the vast means loving a contradiction: you are insignificant and the entity of the vastness of everything else holds you in its embrace and takes away your mortality.
i wonder if when simon told that one guy enjoy sky blue if the reason he laughed while saying it was because he was sharing his own joy. if in his own way he wasn't being generous, sharing the experience that changed him forever. i wonder if as much as he spreads terror, maybe what he really wanted was to share that experience, and that's why he picked someone who loves sky-diving, someone who was also in love with the sky.
i wonder if that guy who was eaten by the sky isn't out there now, saying the sky held him gently in the huge jaws of endless blue, and he cried with joy as he understood. if what for his mother was a horrible experience that killed her son, for him wasn't the liberation from his mortal life and worries before the realization that we are nothing.
i wonder if simon was afraid, too, before he was in love or while he was in love with it, if he can even distinguish his love for the vast from his fear from it or it's just another facet of his adoration, something he can offer to it, if when he said he loved the sky he meant it like that, like we often love a god, with fear as strong as our adoration.
