You must understand my position, I don't want to be a hater, I don't want to dislike this fuckin thing, but it feels like it's laughing at me, it's making me feel too old to enjoy it, I am 22, do you understand how weird this is

#tmagp neg #sorry #It feels like it's been written for 17 year olds and people in their 20s who exclusively read fanfiction #Pick up a book GO READ SEA AND POISON NOW #read Samurai while you're at it shusaku endo's work is fascinating when you understand the circumstances #sea and poison has a scene that's just 3 pages long but it will absolutely wreck you #at least the czech translation is masterfully done idk about the english one #go play Anatomy it's a great horror game #read The Cremator #read yoshimoto banana #just read something please

The magnus protocol feels so much more brutal to me than tma did. like I definitely have a few tma episodes that I cringe at, but I feel like I end every third tmagp episode looking like this

#tmagp #the magnus protocol #tmagp spoilers #not in a negative way I’m just so horrified 😭😭😭#the dice episode this episode putting down roots and uhhh #the violín one!!! are all so gory meaty AAAAUGH #frightening me #which I suppose is the point #Mr bonzo needs to chill tho

idk if this is a hot take, but personally, despite enjoying many tmagp ships, i dont really want any of them to be canon?? like idk, what im most excited for in tmagp is the horror. i dont really feel like id enjoy romance on top of that, especially considering that tmagp is supposed to be less than half as long as tma

#not saying im not interested in the relationships of the characters #like i hope they get fucked up i hope they hate eachother #i just hfhh romance #(negative)#and this is coming from me #a romance lover #edit: actually fuck it im tagging this #tmagp

also also, i'm genuinely baffled on the setup of this particular... universe? i cannot for the life of me figure out if this is a time travel situation, where things have been altered (i.e. the magnus institute being in manchester and burning down in 1999), or if it's an alternate dimension. celia is throwing me for a loop especially! she's so, so suspicious every time she speaks. in episode 7, with all of that. today's episode, with mentioning time travel, other dimensions, georgie. celia, EXPLAIN.

#tmagp #tmagp spoilers #the magnus protocol spoilers #celia ripley #and ALICE? my girl my darling my sweetheart you are SO SUS TOO #i should probably make a theory tag if that's what this blog is gonna end up being... hm #also none of this is negative!!#i'm genuinely excited for all of this

Mixed feelings about the Jon mention in this one tbh

#like i know it could be jot jon obviously. just an ai that took his voice #but i wanted to enjoy protocol fully separately from tma #and there are already wayyyyy too many references for me to do so #and i love jon so much and my heart when that name came up omg #but i dont know if i want to mix him in this story. let him rest T_T #also who's the big guy dressed in black hmmmmm #i wish i didnt immediately go to martin or gerry in my mind but because jon was mentioned. and celia recognizing him. i cant not go there..#ough mixed feelings #tma #tmagp #negative #kinda #tmagp spoilers

I do not wish to be mean, but like, I feel like the format of tmagp is making the horror lesser for me... some stories are too quick for the fear to sink in (first episode) or like it happens at the very end so you don't really get much of it and it just kinda leaves you there (episode 5), episode 6 is very silly to me and like I think it knows that? But that doesn't make it scary and maybe it doesn't want to be idk.

Episodes 2, 3 and 4 are good. They're not necessarily scary, the bit with the tattoo in episode two is kinda silly? But the face thing is good. It's shocking, a different kind of dread but sure.

Episode 3 made me frustrated at the guy, then I realised he couldn't actually leave and like yeah the idea of this is kinda creepy and the acceptance and just I dunno how to put it, it works, but it did not make me shiver with fear yknow?

Episode 4 was fun, probably my favourite, but it's not very scary. To me it makes up for that with the story though, the themes, the morality and the time it takes to go through the story. It adds gravity to it. It's a fucked up lil episode with a lot of story and character

All in all, I have a feeling that the horror is not as much of a focus as it used to be in tma, which might be great for other people, but I've always appreciated the horror of tma, even when I liked the characters and the story. And I understand comparing the two is a bit strange, but... I understand that the "statements" are different here, they're not from scared people who survived something weird/horrible, they're from people who are deep into becoming something else (?), from people who have not survived most likely and, just like for them, there's not enough time for us to be afraid before it's over. And there are strengths to this approach too, I just...

I've relistened to the Anglerfish, because I was scared that perhaps I've just grown numb to the horror, but no. I could still feel the shivers run down my spine, I could still feel the dread building with every new detail, every new small thing that was off and just... terrifying.

The first episodes are so widely different when it comes to horror I think. And it's hard to put my finger on it, but I feel like the role of the investigation afterwards is missing and with it some of the horror.

It feels unfair to compare an entire episode statement with just one statement from the two in tmagp ep 1, but hear me out.

The reveals in mag1 are just very well done. You have the setting being creepy, you have the line being repeated and reenacted in that weird tone twice, before the guy notices on the 3rd time that the figure is not opening its mouth. You have the swaying pointed out multiple times and each time it feels a bit more extreme, weirder, the simile used to describe it, the anglerfish, is so vivid and creepy and RIGHT. When he realises its feet are not touching the ground. The weird way it disappears. AND THEN, because he survived you get the reveal of him finding cigarettes there the next day and connecting them to the missing person. That could have been him. But that's not all, sure Jon is a little bitch, but the reveal of more disappearances adds more credibility. And THEN the cherry on top is the photo, the hand (?), beckoning.

Now let's look at the email from tmagp1. It is very short. There is a set up yes, but the reveal is just...immediate, it lacks the suspense. Like the concept is scary. But the laughter, the laughter is just...sooooo, it's not that scary. Just, it's harder to describe what's not working here than it is to describe what DOES work in mag1. I guess I could focus on the absence of things...

Man, I do sound like an old man swearing at a cloud, my friend would laugh at me and call me 240 years old, I am never beating the allegations

Anyway, in short, I know this podcast aims to be different. I can see it. The character interactions, the more intrusive listening in etc. However, in my humble opinion, the horror gets the short end of the stick here. I wish it didn't

#I am not tagging this but yeeeea #of course it's only beginning and there will be more to the story but #just my thoughts really #tmagp neg

haunted by what I have heard in horror podcast The Magnus Protocol (wondering if Bonzo shows up in open data on Home Office spending and reports on consultant use)

#tmagp #bonzo #this is a double joke because of course not. he's not paid in money!#and other payments are probably to a numbered company or in smaller non-disclosable amounts #this also contains negative two jokes because it's only funny to me specifically

TMAGP 16 thoughts, spoilers below the cut

Are you fucking shitting me right now I just got Hello Jon’d before the episode even started-

Looks like Alice told/is telling Sam and Celia about the drowning victim incident

“I haven’t seen someone die since” SINCE WHAT ALICE

This is such a protocule moment

YouTube/tiktok?

Ink5oul comeback real

INK5OUL VOICE REVEAL

Madam E is the influencer ever (derogatory)

So ink5oul’s tattoos hurt like a bitch, canonically

“Don’t make me break your heart” oooh shit

Madam E got a heart tattoo

THE BRUH SOUND EFFECT 💀

Cool. Grave robbing is just. A hobby for ink5oul. Iconic tbh

Oh shit the heart tattoo is impacting Madam E physically :0

OH FUCK SHES IN THE HOSPITAL

Yooooo ink5oul can control/ hurt people via their tattoos?

Also it looks like the placeholder title for the episode was Heartless, according to the early access transcript, but they changed it to antisocial. I think this means Ink5oul somehow physically ripped this lady’s heart out holy shit

I think ink5oul specifically likes to turn people’s desires against them (Madam E wanted to be famous, so she started getting physically hurt by all the negative comments, the first ink5oul casement wanted to change her physical appearance so ink5oul made it happen through her art and had the tattoo start to consume her)

Oh shit does Alice have ink5oul trauma? She was really upset by that

Lena found out about Lady Mowbray coming to the office and she is pissed. As she should be tbh.

Gwen coming in hot with the classism 💀 “she’s a Lady, it’s not like I brought in Mr. Bonzo” bitch I was rooting for you, not anymore though

On the other hand Lena definitely should have told Gwen the Important Rule of not bringing the fucking monsters into the building

Also we have confirmation that Mowbray is an external I guess

on the new tmagp episode: the entities aren't all negative?? does this mean they're definitely not the ones from the tma universe? or is it just that there were preexisting entities that were actually good? or was it a mix of good and bad? me and my friend were speculating about what other entities could be, and she suggested addiction, which I think fits well not only with several statements but with the food in tmagp. like we've got coffee and sugary stuff and alcohol and all of those can be addictive

TMAGP 14 Thoughts: Shedding Light

This was a pretty light one all in all. Which isn't too surprising given how short this episode was. Not a whole lot to dig into here which is probably for the best given the last few. However for the nerds into the numbers a couple of very interesting things did come from this one.

Spoilers for episode 14 below the cut.

Choco Leibnitz. Still incorrect. I think this is intentional and a Mandela effect thing. It's nice to see Celia and Alice talk and it's extra nice to see Celia not taking her shit. She's obviously jealous as hell and she's really the sort to make that someone's problem IMO. Not that I have anything against Alice or that I think she's evil. But she does have her flaws. It's also interesting to see how she's consistently digging for info and being generally fairly duplicitous about it. She didn't ask Alice if she had any thoughts on why but did lead her to offer her own. It obviously wasn't effective but it's a habit of Celia's to hide behind things like that. Such as mentioning she has a kid to obfuscate that she's got other secrets. Say something that is very clearly a big deal to drop on a first date and people aren't likely to think you're hiding further secrets. But if Freddy knows, we know. Celia thinking she was actually maybe kinda flirting for real was very cute though.

For the incident I've got nothing much to say. I don't like being too negative in these things but I have very little to say otherwise. I really liked the format of it but it was too short to really build it up effectively. There wasn't a lot to sink your teeth into here or enough of it to slowly build any real dread. I also thought this was a rare miss from Jonny on the performance. It didn't do a whole lot for me, unfortunately. I think there was a lot more to the concept than got explored and the transformation aspect is a bit out of nowhere. The mention of an institute is obviously an important detail here but I'll get to that in a bit.

I really would've liked to see more of Gwen and Sam talking about filing these things. I get why Gwen is so touchy and exasperated about it but it's still interesting to get into. It's also not the first time Sam gets given a classification that he later disagrees with in the filing. Hard to say if that means something but coming from Gwen it seems a bigger marker that Sam is incorrect than it does when it was Alice.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Incident/CAT#R#DPHW Master Sheet

Klaus Watch: Starting off we a new section that'll only be here when it's relevant. For those not in the know the old IT Manager at the OIAR, Klaus, has an excel spreadsheet named after him. This was found during the ARG and its a semi-corrupted list of OIAR incidents with CAT#R#DPHWs assigned. Along with some dates and some additional notes. The original German and a translated English copy is in the above link. Not every incident matches but he episode sheet links to it when they do.

CAT1RB4426 is a match. There isn't a date so just that alone is what I'd call a partial match. There isn't a guarantee those strings are unique after all. However it's one of the few with an accompanying note, "Mag". These notes are in German and "mag" is a German word but what it means is "like" or "to like". Which in context makes a lot less sense than the other notes tend to. Given the mention of an institute in the incident it seems pretty likely that "Mag" is short of "Magnus" and as such is a specific detail about the case. As was the note of "tinte" (ink) on Daria's incident.

DPHW Theory: 4426 seems pretty reasonable.

CAT# Theory: CAT1 is interesting in that it's another crack in the Person/Place/Object theory. This one was no more about people than any of the other transformations were and neither of those are CAT1's. But that whole theory already involves ignoring some things and assuming some other bits to make it work.

R# Theory: Another B for a thing I'd say is a B. Really very little to get into on these until something either doesn't fit or we get some significant new information.

Header talk: Transformation (Snake) -/- Horde is what Sam ended up going with on this. Rather than Snakes (Horde) -/- Infection as suggested by Gwen. Not the first time he's done that and one of these days I hope we'll get a misfile report. Clarification on what is or isn't junk data would be lovely.
