the “i don’t speak french” crisis monologue from jon in mag 102 is so funny out of context but in context it’s absolutely crushing because it’s a marking of his gradual realization he’s slowly becoming less “Jonathan sims” and more “The archivist, avatar of the beholding” and i screamed when it first clicked

Funny little Magnus Archives theory I enjoy is that trans people are more likely to become avatars of the stranger then any other power because they already feel like they’re in the wrong skin.

Weekly post-Maggy Propps post: episode 5 Personal Screening:
Oooh spoopy.
Spoilers obvs
I liked this one, I love the references to real world stuff, really helps ground it in culture when the culture is real. Using actual horror cliches, in a horror podcast, about horror? Metaaaaaaa. Super fun. I have a feeling that this theater/man/movie/something will potentially come back and become a plot thing. More so than anything else so far, this gives me a vibe of "this is a situation that might require further investigation". Having said all that, I think it might be my least favourite so far. Not saying much because I still really enjoyed it. The standard is SO high.
Now that I'm more used to the format of the casements, I'm really really into it. Perhaps more so than Archives. Really gives it an uncanny/future-bad vibe, an extra edge of something. Blog posts being read by a spooky voiced man, with spooky music underneath, just absolutely works super well. Immense credit to Jonny and Alex etc for making something so different, fit SO well into the previous format, and remain as scary and enjoyable as before.
I've been re-listening to Archives recently and I think I'm ready to suggest that Extinction might be explored here. I LOVE the concept of a new fear manifesting and extinction is a beautiful, very explorable and very real fear. One they didn't really get to explore too much in Archives.
We're also getting to a point where the characters now have... characters. Obviously Alice is wonderful, Sam is a little blank still but is absolutely likable. Colin is creepy man. Idk why but he gives me super-bad (not the movie) vibes
So far it's 5/5 for enjoyable episodes.
I fucking love this show already.

Just finished the Magnus Archives, I have a lot of thoughts.
Mostly AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
But also, I really loved the ending. As a web and eye guy, very satisfying. Kinda sad, but it was satisfying. Kinda wish Jon had gotten his way but obviously that wouldn't have been a good ending lol

I know he’s kind of a polarizing character, but I have to say, Elias Bouchard truly is Iconic. When you hear the twist of “the boring middle manager was actually secretly an evil eldritch monster the whole time!” you sort of assume that the boring middle manager persona was just a facade, but no, he really does seem to just enjoy dull administrative work. He’s both exactly as boring as he seems on the surface and profoundly fucked up in ways you couldn’t imagine. He’s practically omniscient and playing 4-D chess with everyone, but he responds to even slight hiccups in his elaborate scheme with acts of extreme violence. He beats an old man to death with a metal pipe and when someone brings it up later he goes, “Yeah I may have overreacted there.” His employees are constantly trying to murder him. He broke out of prison just so he could give a dramatic monologue. He had a weird gay thing going on with seemingly every man he met in the past 200 years. He loves scheduling.

eating up all the tim and jon interactions from mag 114 cuz it’s been far too long since they’ve been in the same room together for longer than 20 seconds
Jon unintentionally using his…watching..compulsion…on tim. tim questioning how jon specifically knew he would come to the archives. subtly hinting at his further progression as an avatar
“Buy one spooky telepath manager get one free”
Jon explaining he wants the knowledge Tim has but he doesn’t want to “archivist” him, the moment they come together about the circus
OUUUUUGGGGHHHH I LOVE THEM

jonathan sims top character of all time. his best friend is his ex-girlfriend’s cat. he doesn’t drink coffee. he lies about his age but everyone believes him because he acts like a 60 year old man. the second he’s faced with death he asks his coworker if he’s a ghost. he later falls in love with that coworker. instead of having a beautiful narrative arc about the importance of friendship and surrounding yourself with anchors he had a meat freak rip out his rib. he’s canonically asexual.

Reasons why Jon Archivist is truly a character of all time:
Had the police called on him several times when he was a young child
Keeps his rib and the ashes of the season one antagonist next to his stationary drawer
Promised he wouldn’t get lost in tunnels and then immediately got lost in aforementioned tunnels
Has no clue what a joke is
Learned how remarkably easy it is to buy an ax in central London
Had to have two separate interventions
Told people his place of employment before traumatising them for life
The first character he ever said ‘I love you’ to is a cat
Allegedly participated in amdram
Watches documentaries and collects some kind of weird shit (my headcanon is Soviet Union postcards) when he’s not being a paranoid mess
Canonically looks like he hasn’t slept in weeks
Knows nothing about library science
Fell head over heels for a man that he hated until he learned he lied on his resumé
Has been referred to as Jesus or Jesus-adjacent at least twice
Asexual icon
Knows what a meme is and said “LOL” in the first episode
Rode on a merry-go-round sometime during his university days because he was in a weird place emotionally
Died for our Jonathan Sins
Is probably a computer now playing minesweeper with his boyfriend and evil 200+ year old boss
