During the first season, Jonathan Sims only uses a desk tape recorder for recording statements but after the Prentiss Attack he started to keep around a hand held tape recorder as well because the buttons were easier to press and easier to use when moving around. He only uses the desk tape recorders for recording the statements when he’s working
(Don’t know if those are there actually names so here’s what I mean when a say Handheld tape recorder and Desk tape recorder)
This only explicitly exists in my brain, but I imagine the setting for the Magnus archives and the Magnus Protocol are like night and day versions of each other.
The staff of the Magnus institute work during the day (for the most part) but I've always imagined that inside the institute the lightbulbs that are always too dim, shadows in every corner that are a little unsettling, and a cold chill in the air that never leaves. Even though staff at the O.I.A.R work during the night, I picture oppressive, fluorescent lights overhead, blue light computer screens that surround you and an electronic hum that you can't stop hearing even after clocking out.
Did y’all know I love TMA too?? I’ve had the Magnus Protocol brainworms since listening to it earlier so here’s my (very subject to change) designs for Alice and Sam until the fandom agrees on something 🫡
Bonus ‘Chester’ and ‘Norris’ doodle in the corner 👁️
jonathan sims never attended parties in uni because he thought they made him look unprofessional and didn't approve of the activities. samama khalid never attended parties in uni because he is epileptic and there was This One Dude who always brought a shitty disco light and put it on the highest surface he could reach
Jonathan Sims is the type of guy to sit and watch ninja warrior with Martin and then all deadpan point at the TV and say "I could do that" and then gets up and fucking does a handstand into a back handspring or whatever then sits back down on the sofa and puts Martin's arm back around his shoulders. Yeah.
