@a-mag-a-day Today I'm thinking about Martin, specifically, how quote-unquote human he really still is

he's clearly fallen on the side of 'Watcher' in the Eyepocalypse, not surprising perhaps, cause he already was able to turn invisible or something like it in s4 from the Lonely, and had to be 'both Lonely and Watching' enough for Peter's plan to at least work in theory. and while not as deep in it as Jon, he's still worked for the Eye for 10 years iirc, and he's marked by it to the point that it's a part of his domain

Martin in canon appears occasionally insensitive to Jon's new impulses, acting as the straight man to his avatar-ness. But we know that Martin's really good at acting like how he thinks things ought to be, while ignoring how he knows them to be deep down. (examples: him being the last one to accept Sasha is gone, at first instance assuming Jon must've been brainwashed in 142 Scrutiny, "I'm knackered!' -'Are you?' -'... ok, well, no, but i feel like i should be")

so i wonder, how much of his reactions are because Jon's words are genuinely alien to him, and how much is just posturing, exaggerating how he feels like he should react, to ignore when Jon's experiences feel relatable, or that niggling idea that, if everyone in this world is either victim or watcher, and Martin feels remarkably good, all things considered... well.

Or,

#as is often the case this isn't an essay on Why Martin Is Actually Just As Much An Avatar As Jon or something #just thinking out loud #spurred on by today's ep #and some amagaday posts with differing interpretations that set me thinking about my own #a mag a day #tma #tma s5 #mag171 #tma theory #Martin blackwood #the magnus archives #martin #joos yaps #also since im doing the amagaday and s5 isn't my fav there might very well be complicating statements made by Martin later #that i just forgot about #but that's for future me to deal with

[nicohischier]

#let’s go mag171 i hope you bring back all my memories bc i do not remember what was happening in s5 #not hockey

[flippedorbit]

#Rasp Rambles #it is leafy cav @mag171’s birthday and he deserves all the birthday wishes

[st7arlight]

in MAG171 Martin says to Jared Hopsworth "you've already made your mark" implying that he and Jon had a conversation about the ribs thing and also that Martin is still pissed abt it

FEAR NOT FOR I AM THE MECHS ASK MAN AND I AM HERE. YOU HAVE DRAWN MY ATTENTION. BE NOT AFRAID

who is your favourite mechanism. which is your favourite album. which is your favourite song. do you have a favourite photo. do you have a favourite live recording. which tma fear do you think you would be an avatar of. which tma fear scares you the most. who is your favourite character. do you have a favourite episode.

Fun fun fun!

Favorite mech is the Toy Soldier mostly because of death to the MECHS feelings

Favorite album is High noon over camelot I listened to it on repeat for ABT three weeks straight and is one of the few things I've ever done fan art of. Controversial take but it's more sadder than the bifrost incident

Favorite Song is hereward the wake on the basis of "also he fought a bear"

Fave photo is this bad boy

Probably don't have a favourite show, sad I know

I like to think I'd be of the vast

Corruption really fucks me up

Mike is quite easily my fave after me and @hauntedsuns have spent the last four months obsessing over him

Best episode is MAG171 the gardener. The mortal garden just slaps and so does Jared, best trans ally recovering homophobe

Thankyou so much for the ask! Ur getting followed nerd <3

#ask #pride-dragon #im feeling like utter shit and doing this made me feel better so thankyou <3
