TMA begins with a lure, but TMAGP begins with a warning.

#that's fucking me up a little ngl #the anglerfish and the red canary statements.... im losing it #the anglerfish is a trap. the moment jon reads that first statement he's caught in something he can't yet comprehend #the red canary is the opposite. its death is a warning to sam - stay aboveground. don't dig too deep. it's a canary in a coal mine #and yet it has the effect of dragging him under regardless #tma #the magnus archives #tmagp #the magnus protocol

It's kind of unfortunate that the only bit of characterization for original! Elias that's widely talked about is him being a stoner. It's true that for a long time that's literally the only thing we got. One funny throwaway line. But we do learn a bit more in mag 193 (one of my favorite s5 episodes incidentally) and it makes him a much more interesting and tragic character.

Elias was an aimless rich kid trying and failing to live up to his father's high expectations for him. He was raised to believe that he deserved success and power simply because of the family he was born into. It's implied that this alienated him from his peers leaving him incredibly isolated. It probably also meant he didn't have a lot of control over his own life, following the path he was expected to rather than what he acctually wanted. Even before being marked by the Eye he probably felt like was constantly watched and judged, and found wanting.

The statement draw heavy parallels between original! Elias and Jon. In fact the line between them gets very blurred as Jon "plays" Elias in the statement and Elias's VA plays Jonah in the body of James Wright. Jon and Elias are both parallels and opposites. They were both marked and drawn to the Institute by that mark.

Elias had the conviction that he was destined to be important and he was right the most perverse, twisted way possible. He was only ever there to be used and used completely. To the point were he ceased to be, leaving only his body to puppeted by Jonah.

Jon had no such conviction, and yet he became literally the most import person in the world. But that was only after being moulded and completely reshaped by Jonah. He in a way lost almost as much autonomy and control of his body as Elias did. Though he at least got to keep his mind, for the most part.

This has gotten away from me a bit, but the point remains. Elias, like a lot of TMA characters, is a fascinating person who we only get to see brief snatches of. I think about him a lot. I especially think about how horrifying it must have been to realize, for the briefest moment, that his mind and body were being completely taken over, right before his consciousness was snuffed out.

DIG.

The Buried TMA cake 4/14

This is yellow cake with carved ganache forming the wood of the coffin. The filling is pistachio pastry cream to give it a real earthy taste.

Funny how Oliver went to Point Nemo for a nap because people became a bother that started to suffocate him. Terminal Velocity stuff could be made out of this methinks

#Imagine him meeting Mike right after dying lmaoooo #they do the pointing spiderman meme at eachother and go #“who are you there’s not supposed to be anyone here” #this would make the “oliver digs up mike who comes back to life” scenario even funnier #theyre even #both raised their boyfriedn from the dead #but really oliver being fed up with people and feeling suffocated #and then ending up with an avatar of the Vast? #oliver banks #mike crew #terminal velocity #tma #the magnus archives #it talks #Thought

I love the tma fandom's attempts to find in-universe explanations for writing mistakes. jon canonically doesn't drink coffee except he also canonically does so the solution is that he will sometimes drink it but actively hate it the whole time. sure the tea and staples were probably the results of not doing a lot of research about archives before writing a story set in one but actually this means that none of our main characters are at all qualified for any of their jobs. gerry aged twenty years in the span of ten years but honestly wouldn't you do the same if you'd lived his life? this isn't even fandom exclusive, jonny has gone on record saying that hilltop road only became the site of the tear in reality because he accidentally wrote that the same event there happened in two different years so he needed to make it make sense. god bless.

#this isn't a dig at these mistakes I just find it very funny #tma #marina marvels at life

[liscrispim]

i really like how half the tma fandom thinks that jon is obsessively trying to help sam not go to the magnus institute and the other half thinks that he's obsessively tring to get sam to go there lol

#im the op #im in the second half of the fandom btw #that puter is practically screaming ISNT THIS MYSTERY SO MYSTERIOUS?? DONT YOU JUST WANT TO DIG THROUGH THOSE RUINS????? #tma #tmagp #tmagp spoilers

"I found another, Gertrude!" | theanxiousghostartist | Gerry/Artifact/Archives | Day 4 prompts for @tma-retro-week

"I found another one! This one was buried in tne dirt, as you can guess from the title!"

I am really happy that I was able to draw Gerry for this one! Due to life stuff, I made this one simpler than I wanted to, but I still like it. For the Archives, I've always headcanoned that they had stacks upon stacks of file cabinets, so that's the background. For artifact, I decided to use a Leitner. I know that they are not technically artifacts, but 'Dig' was found like an artifact, and I didn't want to draw all the details on the homophobic vase, so... we have 'Dig!'

(I'll draw the homophobic vase sometime soon, guys)

I kept Gerry's evil eye necklace from his TMAGP design in here, too, to connect the designs more (:
