"Jonah Magnus did leave him in that place, John. He got the letter, oh yes, and was on good terms with Mordechai Lukas. He could have interceded, perhaps even saved him, but he did not. And it was not out of malice, or because he lacked affection for Barnabas Bennett: he retrieved those bones sadly enough when the time came. Bones that you can still find in my office, if you know where to look." (TMA Ep. 92)

barnabas’s dirge

[fridayyy-13th]

relistening to MAG 092 - Nothing Beside Remains and going a little bit insane over the fact that this is a Lonely statement about Barnabas Bennett’s lifelong solitude, with no background sound but a ticking clock, just like MAG 170 is a Lonely statement about Martin’s lifelong solitude, with no background sound but a ticking clock

but the difference between them lies in that when Barnabas and Martin each call out for help, to Jonah and Jon respectively, Jonah purposefully leaves Barnabas to die, while Jon finds Martin again (and has been searching for him since he realized their separation), reassuring him that he will stay by his side.

and at the end of 092 Elias tells Jon that his assistants are nothing more than things to discard……but Jon refuses to see them that way, even going so far as to promise Martin “where you go, i go”…………Jon is fully an avatar, he is wholly the Archivist, but he is still so painfully, utterly human despite it all.

idk. something about victims of the Lonely and the Eye avatars they placed their trust in, for better or for worse.

If Augustus is Jonah, and becomes conscious, I Hope we see him break down in tmagp

Like he gave everything to the eye and it threw him away like he was nothing. He had killed a lot of people and even ones he had loved. He had to kill his humanity and even who he was for it. He spent centuries sacrificing and serving it so it can have the world in its image, So it can have power. And it threw him away without a second thought. For someone who was trying to kill it.

If the theory that the fears are different now, imagine how scared he’ll be when he wakes up, doesn’t know this and thinks the eye cut him off completely. He dedicated his life to it. Now that it’s gone, what would he even do.

I like to think that Jonah was actually a person at some point. before the eye. That he genuinely loved Barnabas and all of them. That he had motivations outside of the eye. Before he threw them away for the beholding. I like to think now that he has his original voice back, and not one of the stolen ones from Elias Bouchard or James Wright, will send him on a spiral. Reminds him of who he was. And what he could’ve had if he never got involved.

Jonah Magnus: 👁️👁️👁️

Mordechai Lukas: *sighs dreamily* my babygirl

Jonathan Fanshawe: Your babygirl has killed people

Barnabas Benett: Would you prefer he call him our babygirl?

I still can't get over the fact that Jonah kept his bones. That Jonah cared for this man, not enough to save his life, but enough to keep him. To possess his remains and deny his family mourning rights. Or even the knowledge that he died, for all they know the man just went missing. Was his brother ever told?

All this as well as going to the man that essentially killed Barnabas to ask for those bones, possibly even demanded them. Has that ever been done before? Why did Mordecai agree? Is Jonah somehow lonelier with the bones in his possession?

And then he just kept them. Moved them from Edinburgh to London and kept them in his office for nearly 200 years. 'If you know where to look' are they viewable? Are they hidden somewhere, lovingly preserved? Are parts of the bones fractured or rubbed smooth from anger or sorrow?

I need to knoooow.

i think the lonely feeds on exclusion, not absence. i think it feeds not on the fact that no one can help you, but rather that no one cares to even try. if you know someone out there is trying to help you, you won't feel lonely, no matter how far away or unable to actually help that person is.

that's one thing that the statement of barnabas bennett can teach us about how the lonely functions, and how jonah magnus feeds it. he could have helped, but he watched. the indifferent watcher. an amoral gaze that only seeks to know. what's lonelier than being seen, but not helped?

i think the spiral feeds on doubt, not insanity. i think it feeds on your fear of betrayal, your fear of unreality, of being lied to. you belong to the spiral once you don't know what to trust anymore, once everything feels fake.

that's one thing that the statement of michael can teach us about the spiral's existence, and how gertrude robinson feeds it. the facade she puts up around almost everyone hides a ruthless woman, who doesn't care what or who she has to sacrifice to achieve her goals. this is the facade that had michael shelley fooled, and eventually, literally fed to the spiral. that moment of betrayal, of the mask slipping off, of realizing that it was all fake. do you think that that's when he realized that nothing was real?

eye avatars really, really have this tendency to feed other fears.

with that in mind, which one do you think jonathan "on good terms with oliver banks" "goes around ending avatars' existences" "dies at the end" sims has been feeding?

#CAN ANYONE HEAR ME. #no im not saying these are their secondary alignments ok. i think jonah's way more strangerpilled than lonely #but gertrude does have a spiral vibe about her in my mind #and jon DEFINITELY has an end vibe about him #tma #the magnus archives #tma meta #tma analysis #jonah magnus #barnabas bennett #gertrude robinson #michael shelley #jonathan sims #tma spoilers

I had the sudden realization that Elias whole discourse about watching but never interfering gets way more interesting with the knowledge that he already made the bet with Peter and is planning to drop Martin in the Lonely. With that in mind his recordied lesson for Jon about Barnabas becames:

"See Jon, when my boyfriend got trapped in the Lonely I let him stay there and suffer and perish because our job is to WATCH after it was done, of course, I entered the Lonely to pick his bones. Now you may call me a romantic but I still have them, they are here in my office, wanna see? *later* Anyway I think is time for a demonstration. PETER! *Peter sends Martin to the Lonely* So, Jon, what do we do now? I'll give you a him we wa-

*Jon alredy in the Lonely screaming MAHTIN like an insane person*

*Elias rolls his eyes* Not what I had in mind but that'll do.

*Jon pops back with Martin outside the Institute and they go straight to Scotland*

"It will fit my plans well. But holy shit Jon you're such a shitty Watcher."

*In a scotish safehouse Martin and Jon say "fuck you" to Jonah Magnus before kissing*
