#grifter's bone

[thermodynamic-comedian]

one thing i personally enjoy thinking is what if grifter's bone is just some regular ass band in this universe. and with no slaughter influence, they're just a kind of niche indie punk band generally regarded as "bad" but with a very dedicated small fanbase that doesn't take itself too seriously. what if alice owns grifter's bone merch

#what im saying basically is what if grifter's bone is this universe's weezer #what if gwen makes fun of alice for the merch and she decides to REALLY fuck with her and tells that it's actually lena's #and she's just borrowing it #is she just lying to fuck with gwen? is she actually telling the truth? doesn't matter. #what matters is that this sends gwen into a week long spiral of confusion over two things: 1. is lena a grifter's bone fan. #and 2. WHY IS ALICE BORROWING HER MERCH??? #tmagp #the magnus protocol #tmagp meme #tmagp shitpost #grifter's bone

i hate this with a passion, but considering that it's the first time i'm using illustrator and that i didn't check any tutorial beforehand i guess it could have been worse.

anyway, here's a sort of grifters bone poster because the hyperfixation is back and kicking :)

Is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling that the violin in tmagp 4 has something to do with grifter's bone? Like the fact that when playing the violin, people went into a wild frenzy, trying to maim and destrly each other. And the hungering for fame leading to disastrous consequences - the uncle's fingers being shredded before realising he can use others blood, alfred grifter not achieving his desired fame. It all just seems a bit too similar yknow

I'm so obsessed with The Magnus Protocol rn- anyway

From a conversation with @yourlocalbadweather

What if the twink of a villain violin works similarly to the way that Grifters Bone does? Like what if it isn’t just the Fears that have been passed and spread through the universes, what if it isn't just them that connect all these universes, what if their artifacts are the same. What if the vampiristic violin is related to the same instruments that Grifter’s Bone used to inspire such slaughter??? They have the same intentions-

In the episode that mentions Grifter's Bone, Jennifer Ling notes that their music was "the most achingly beautiful music" she had ever heard. The only instrument she notes is a keyboard and not a violin, like in the Magnus Protocol episode, however. But she does say that they were packing up their "instruments", so I assume that a keyboard is not the only instrument.

In the Magnus Protocol episode, the person writing the letter pretty much says that the music that the violin produced was beautiful, he calls it "divine". He was admired and grew famous. But the violin that he had was hungry for his blood and flesh. When he played and protected his fingers, not allowing the violin its fill, it took the audience as payment instead. He describes the gory scene in much detail. While Jennifer Ling merely notes that the room after Grifter's Bone was covered in blood.

Just a weird little theory to share with you all!

Grifter’s Bone

As he placed his fingers on his instrument, they left behind dark red spots on the bright white keys. Lee said he had never heard of Grifter’s Bone before that moment, but somehow he knew that’s what he was looking at. And then the music started.

@a-mag-a-day

I'm really interested by how much people know/have heard about the supernatural in the tma universe, even if they don't believe in it.

Like, apparently Grifter's Bone is an urban legend, and "Anyone who’s written about music long enough has at least heard of [them]." That's so interesting! They're known! People talk about them, make jokes about them (and people who know the truth have to put up with it)!

Also, you have to imagine that a lot more people in the tma universe DO believe in the supernatural, even if they don't say it. I mean they have university courses on manifestations, idk. Surely there is more proof of the supernatural and genuinely unexplainable events because the supernatural,, genuinely exists. Like even if you could find a way to explain it away... It wouldn't be the actual truth. Like the supernatural very much exists and people experience it. Idk I'm not really going anywhere with this but. It's intriguing.

#every time i go to say something here i loose my ability to words #it's the curse #:( #(and the fatigue) #a mag a day #tma relisten #tma #the magnus archives #mag 42 #grifter's bone #i heard ~60% of the population has had a brush with the supernatural even if it wasn't statement worthy #idk don't quote me on that i might have made it up

The Magnus Archives Fear Entities 9/15- The Slaughter

Oh I absolutely LOVE how this one turned out!! This whole series has been a really interesting way for me to get more creative and experimental with my art, which is something I’m really proud of. Anyway, the Slaughter and miss Melanie King! Who has become one of my favorite characters over the course of relistening to TMA! Who would’ve thought!

Some more pics of my hand-embroidered Grifter's Bone band jacket, taken outside Old Fishmarket Close in Edinburgh. This back patch is based on the imagery of the Ten of Swords tarot card, which felt like fitting symbolism. When I made it I was sort of basing the design off what I thought the cover art for a Grifter's Bone album might look like!

Now, if you'll excuse me for a moment, there's a gentleman down this alleyway asking for a light, so I'm just going to pop down there and help him out, and I'll be back in a moment...

AYO GRIFTER'S BONE MY BELOVED!!!! I didnt remember this was so early on. Music so bad it kills you. The Slaughter is brutal but man does it have style sometimes.

This idiot though. Had a friend go "yeah I saw and nearly died and my ears never stopped bleeding" and goes "hmmh sounds like I need to see them myself".

This is in my favorites as well. Its so unique and fun.

OH THE NEW PROTOCOL EPISODE FUCKS HARD

spoilers for tmp e4 below cut

is there anything you want to tell us sam?

you're sure there's nothing you want to tell us sam?

ALSO. my general stance is it's probably not helpful to try and relate much of protocol at all to tma cause its all new stuff. but how can you listen to that episode and not think of everyone's favourite band grifter's bone! I mean obviously the guy only once caused his audience to start tearing each other apart but the violin got passed down to others

also while checking on the grifter's bone transcript I noticed this

compare that to this from tmp004 as perhaps a little reference

although interestingly it seems grifter's bone never had a violinist (they according to the statement-giver's guess played keyboard, cello, guitar and flute)

very much in line with this from grifters bone
