Chambers: "Uuuuugh, my instincts as a detective suck."
[REDACTED]: *in his normal form* "Really? Don't be so hard on yourself. Let's talk about your instincts."
Chambers: "GWAAAH! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
[REDACTED]: "Well, I heard you were struggling with your investigation..."
[REDACTED]: *holds up a basket* "So, I brought you some tea!"
Chambers: "You brought me some tea... Well, listen here fella, YOU'RE what we call a 'civilian', and you're not allowed in here, okay?"
[REDACTED]: "Oh, sure I am! Officer Trevor is a client of mine! He has a nice little duck."
Chambers: *looks down the hall in confusion*
Officer Trevor: *walks by with a nice duck plushie that [REDACTED] made for him*

Showing my mother (an IT specialist) the Magnus protocol and watching the look of horror form on her face when she hears "Windows NT 4.0" and "bedrock that the whole system is based on, and it’s been at least fifteen years since anyone actually knew how it worked."
Laughing my ass off and saying "that's not even the horror part of the podcast"
Only to be met with "yes it is"

TMP Stream Of Consciousness Theory
(Like, I'm forming it and I'm not sure where I headed here)
Spoilers All - TMP
So as I'm reading through a lot of Lena Post on here it's starting to strick at me. Her wording when she vaguely explained things to Gwen in EP 13, Futures.
Gwen asks if they're the bad guys.
Lena hesitates before answering "We are... Managing, the bad guys."
Unlike the The Magnus Institute they aren't collecting Statements, they're keeping track of them.
Lena doesn't see herself and her work as good, but a necessary evil.
This would make Lena NOT Jonah's Parallel, but Gertrude's.
To Gertrude, Michael was a necessary evil, but she hurt no more people than absolutely necessary.
Lena isn't willing to put her employees in unnecessary risk.
The Magnus Institute was destroyed and OIAR has something called The Magnus Protocol.
They're preventing the Dread Powers from taking hold. Be it Fear, Hunger, or Regret. They're making sure no one of them gets a real foothold into our world. And if one gets to close. Well, they have they're last resort.

Idk if anyone’s pointed out but the Latin over the OIAR’s is Non Vacillabimus which translates to ‘We Will Not Falter’
Idk if it’s significant, maybe it’s whatever Lena is aligned with deciding they won’t falter this time. It’s very stern and determined, very Lena-core.
Also it’s the office of incident assessment and response yet we’ve only seen the assessment part - no response to it yet. I’m excited to see it tbh I’m loving this series so farrr

[REDACTED]: "Finally! After all these years!"
[REDACTED]: "[REDACTED] has a GUN!"
[REDACTED]: *bang bang bang bang bang!*
Chambers: "[REDACTED]! You're not supposed to have a GUN!"
[REDACTED]: "I can do what I WANT, FARTFACE!"
[REDACTED]: *bang bang bang bang bang!*
*Chambers and Trevor hide behind some cover.*
Chambers: "Trevor! It looks like [REDACTED]'s gotten a GUN."
Chambers: "Listen, Trevor, it's not safe to go alone. This is. A. GUN."
[REDACTED]: "I'LL SHOOT YOUR FAMILY!!!"
Chambers: "There's only one thing to do now, Trevor!" *pulls out a gun too*. "[REDACTED]'s got a fucking GUN, SO WILL I."
*[REDACTED] and Chambers have a shoot-out in the middle of the street. Trevor is watching with some popcorn.*

I just haven't been able to get into The Magnus Protocol as much as The Magnus Archives. I don't really know why but partly it's probably because it's just not scary to me?

apropos of nothing, I made Tape-E
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Who is Tape-E?
During one of the TMA livestreams (trying to remember which one), a fan question was asked ‘Is there a mascot (for the Archives or the show itself not sure)?’ One of the team suggested ‘Tape-y?’, to which everyone else responded with ‘Oh no!!’. So I thought, oh yes! So yeah, this is your fault 😘
What is Tape-E?
As Mr Bonzo is a parody of Mr Blobby, Tape-E is a parody of Clippy (these last two names rhyme).
Who is Clippy?
Clippy was a microsoft office assistant, introduced in 1997. He was a little virtual paperclip (officially called Clippit, but that name never caught on) who sat on the bottom right corner of the page, and was programmed to give advice in popup speech bubbles when certain actions were taken. For example, if you wrote out an address and ‘Dear’, Clippy would say ‘Looks like you’re writing a letter. Would you like help?’. The name Tape-E in the livestream seemed to be referring to Clippy, as there are many similarities in the behaviour of Clippy, and the actual tapes/ tape recorders in-universe:
always on by default
appears at inconvenient times
provides help you do not want
hated by (mostly) everyone
watching you with cold dead eyes
enjoyed by nostalgia and retro seekers
Why make Tape-E?
As I am of the same generation as some of the RQ peeps, I unironically loved Clippy and Mr Blobby as a child, and it gives me great joy to imagine, in the TMP universe, Sam getting a little pop up: ‘Looks like you’re trying to code a case file! Would you like some help with that?’ In our world this would be impossible - Windows NT (as the official name) was dropped in 1996, one year before Clippy was born, BUT there is voice recording on TMP’s ancient computers, so it’s not totally impossible! 😅😁
What are cassette tapes?
Just a little recap for those who didn’t grow up with tapes: Cassette Tapes contain information embedded in magnetic tape, wrapped around one spool and attached to a second spool. When played, the spools are turned by the machine and the magnetic tape is wound onto the other spool, the information read out through speakers as the magnetic tape moves through sensors. As the magnetic tape can contain different information depending on the direction of tape movement, you can flip the cassette tape over in the machine, and play the tape again, hearing another load of information. This concept is never utilised in the show, but it does mean that cassette tapes have A-sides, and B-sides (as Vinyl records do). Here, of course, this stands for Archivist-side, and Brutalpipemurder-side. On occasion, the magnetic tapes would become damaged, or bent, and could be pushed out of the cassette, causing a horrible noise, and terror to small children who were only trying to listen to their Just William tapes. When this happened, a pencil (or in my case, my little finger) could be jammed into the spiky spool ‘teeth’, to rewind the magnetic tape back into the cassette. Maybe that’s why the eyes are red? 🩸 I am very glad that the TMA tapes are magic, and record endlessly, never need flipping, and never get chewed up by the hungry machine.
Why is the name Tape-E?
Canon answer: the name stands for Tape-Eyes. Possibly Tape-Entity? Undecided.
Actual answer: Tape-y, Tapey and Tapie spellings look weird to me. I think Tape-E looks best.
Why a tape and not a tape recorder?
if you can crochet a tape recorder, you’re a genius and I love you.
What gender is Tape-E?
I might refer to Tape-E as male sometimes because that’s how people often referred to Clippy. But Tape-E is whatever gender Tape-E feels like being.
Why now?
Why not? also now is a good time because TMP episode 15 is an excellent episode
*What’s going to happen to Tape-E?*
I’m going to gift it to Jonny sometime, if we get more cons or book signings. It’s his fault this exists after all. Plus you can write whatever you like in the speech bubbles! Hopefully I can give it calmly? But maybe Tape-E will be yeeted in his general direction in a fit of ADHD-fuelled social anxiety. Only time will tell.
Tape-E is a pattern and design created entirely by myself. The inspiration and world building from whence it came, is entirely the genius of @jonnywaistcoat Jonny Sims, Rusty Quill @rqbossman and The Magnus Archives, which is a podcast distributed by Rusty Quill and licensed under a creative commons attribution, non-commercial share alike 4.0 international license.
Clippy was invented by Microsoft and Kevan Atteberry, who now illustrates children’s books.
Mr Blobby is an adorable abomination, created from a fevered mind.
