[phoet]

it's so funny to me how the tma fandom has mandela-effected themselves into believing that gerry keay and michael shelley worked at the magnus archives together.

they didn't

michael and eric, GERRY'S FATHER, worked together.

which, when i realised this (upon seeing the resurgance of doorkeay posts after gerry's appearance in tmagp) made me wonder — why was that never a ship??

the more i thought about it the more i realised the fandom missed out on so much angst potential. the perfect ship is not gerry and michael no no no.

it's eric delano and michael shelley starcrossed lovers doomed by the narrative

#but he's marrie— HIS WIFE SUCKS #i can excuse being a hot older evil lady but i draw the line at child abuse #anyway #i also found out that johnny said the fandom imagines michael much younger than he was intended to be written so #mandela effect #it strikes again #michael shelley #eric delano #gerry keay #doorkeay #tma #tmagp #the magnus archives #the magnus protocol

Michael: Marry me.

Gerry: What?

Michael: *already in a wedding dress and holding a bouquet*

Helen: *playing the Wedding March with a kazoo*

Gertrude: *holding a file of statments as a bible* Gerard Anthony Keay , Do you take Michael Shelley as your lawful spouse, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until The Apocalypse (or I) do you part?

Gerry, somehow in a suit now: WAIT A FUCKING SECOND—

Eric,tearing up and saying in a really high-pitched voice: I'm so proud of you!

heyy 📓

I have this one fic that I’m deeply fond of but will likely never write due to the inexorable confines of linear time that’s basically assistant Jon trying to gaslight the entire archives that his husband, Gerry Keay, is dead. He is not. He is trying to bring Jon coffee and wondering why his dear, dear husband is shoving him into the bushes.

The idea is that Gertrude figured out that Elias was trying to groom this feverish nerd as her replacement (he is not a subtle man) and, as a matter of checkmating him, made Jon her assistant to basically give him an out from the contract in the case of her death. A deadman’s switch, basically. She didn’t explain shit to him with the transfer, however. She wanted to keep her options open until she decided how exactly to play the matter.

She did not account for this feverish nerd going off the deep end at record speed, stalking everyone including her and her goth buddy cop companion, who found the fact that there was stupid enough to stalk the man accused of violent murder and subsequent skinning inexplicably attractive. Jons reasoning was anyone who burns leitners couldn’t be THAT bad, which did NOTHING to prevent Gerry’s burgeoning crush. Gerry explains everything to him pretty immediately after catching him at the stalking thing and they’re sickeningly in love in record speed.

Gertrude is a lesbian but honestly they’re disgustingly in love enough to make her homophobic. Stop holding hands where she has to see it. She has some regrets about this decision.

Elias manages to finagle past the deadman’s switch by getting him to re-sign through a very compelling hiring bonus. The compulsion is a gun and the bonus is his beloved husband doesn’t get shot in the fucking head. Jon re-signs.

The thing is that he signs on as an assistant again, because Elias is faking him out. Jon and Gerry are both half-Become and terrified of losing themselves. They’re desperately trying to find a way of breaking Jon’s contract and escape with their lives and souls intact. He knows that, if Jon was the Head Archivist, he’d follow in Gertrude’s footsteps to slow his own becoming.

Except the Archivist is a what and the Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute is just a title. Elias basically tricks Jon into thinking he’s trying to make Sasha the Archivist by promoting her and letting Jon “get one over” on him by interfering with her Becoming, furthering his own in the process. Jon thinks he’s just there as Gertrude’s former assistant who knows about her plans to stop upcoming apocalypses. Gertrude never told him that she suspected Elias wanted him for the job, so he’s completely blind to the real stakes. He thinks he’s protecting Sasha from her own becoming and instead just sinking further into his own.

The thing is that Elias has made it very clear that if actually tells Sasha and the rest of the assistants anything, Elias will find a way to kill both him and Gerry. And Jon’s very much tied to the archives, so they’re limited in ways they can protect themselves. He’s stuck pretending that he knows nothing and working in the background to keep them safe as he can.

Cue “Let’s see if we can track down this Gerard Keay fellow in all these Statements” “We, we can’t” “why not” “He… died. Very tragic. So sad.”

In Jon’s defense he panicked and also if they find Gerard Keay it’s a very short jump to “hey Jon why did we find a marriage certificate with your name on it and this very spooky man’s name on it” “hey Jon why did we find all these statements that featured both you and him in these spooky circumstances hidden in your desk” “hey Jon have you been lying to us this entire time” “hey Jon is that Elias with a fucking gun.” It’s just. It’s a slippery slope. The only reasonable thing to do is fake his own husbands death.

Gerry finds this solution hilarious and is immediately and violently reminded of why he married this man.

(“Oh I’m sorry I can’t do the dishes I’m too dead for that” “Gerry do you want to die for real”)

Guest starring:

Michael’s aggressive, mandatory, and deeply troubling adoption of Jon during his time as an assistant (he wants to prove he’s better at keeping assistants alive than Gertrude)

Wlw/mlm violence starring Basira and Daisy (Basira met Jon via Sectioned matters and they got on like a house fire, and like. It’s really hard to find those couple friends, you know? Like sometimes she wouldn’t mind going out to a pub with her partner and a friend who has a partner and they like, get group discounts or something. Daisy come on it will be fun. Only Jon shows up with accused murderer Gerard Keay and Basira shows up with a fucking Hunter. Both of them think the other has terrible taste in partners)

Sasha and Tim trying to set up Martin with Jon, who is absolutely not married to Gerard Keay, because Gerard Keay is too dead to be married to anyone

#tma #jongerry #this one is so fun and silly I wish I had time to write it

[iris-of-the-eye]

Y'all draw Eric Delano too normal. The dude said that Mary Keay was "beautiful, but like a shark was beautiful" and that she tasted like blood and he fucking MARRIED HER. So he either didn't mind or was ACTIVELY INTO IT. The dude was freaky.

#hes not some stock photo office guy oh no #even if hes not alt like Gerry he should be a little Messed Up #the magnus archives #tma #the magnus pod #eric delano #mary keay #gerard keay #gerry keay #gerry delano #he deserves to be called delano #his dad was great and mary. /neg

[mikecrewsteacup]

in case anyone needs a pick-me-up via Eric's dedication to Gerry once his son was born: here is my collection of Eric quotes that are either about his concern for Gerry's well-being, or about how hard (but evidently worth it to him) the sacrifice of his eyes was to make. the final quote is a bonus contrast of him electing NOT to check in on Mary during this conversation where he bargains for Gertrude to check on Gerry.

yes, he married a monster - but after his son was born, it's pretty clear Eric Delano had a big change of heart. he chose Gerry over his sight, and over the career he speaks so fondly of throughout the beginning of his statement. the only thing standing in his way in the end was Mary Keay.

FOR THE CHARACTER ASK THING!!!!! Im quite curious about your peter lucas thoughts, whats goin on with that old man?

SEND ME A CHARACTER AND I’LL DO THIS;

PHEW THANK YOU I LOVE TALKING ABT THIS MAN. I'm gonna say. I definetly have a bit of a version of him in my head - it's been ages since I listened to MAG and he's kind of taken a life of his own. Also sorry i got so rambly here man i. Ill b real im lik3 right abt to fall asleep but i got exited abt him so here i go nevertheless..m

Sexuality Headcanon: HMM like. Bi. I dont think i can imagine him call himself that tho.

Gender Headcanon: old man. Like thats a part of his gender identity, being old.

A ship I have with said character: w MEEEE. My mag self insert. Lol. But yeah i am not that into the lonely eyes ship, just. Bc i do not care abt Elias all that much! I don't know many ships that include him otherwise. I haven't seen mary keay and plukas shipping but I'd love to. Idk. Awful vibes i think it could be great. Salesa maybe??? But I feel like its more like. Plukas likes looking at Salesa and Salesa kinda forgets hes even there sometimes.

A BROTP I have with said character: martin please. Please martin hang out w him tricking him into thinking ur getting more into the lonely but ur actually occupying his space and u are drifting away from the lonely TOGETHER. Also if u guys have heard the tim & plukas behind the scenes jokes abt cayacking and train documentaries. Yeah that too theyre """"buddies""""

A NOTP I have with said character: haven't come across anything that bothers me !

A random headcanon: i am really split on weather he barely eats or if he's like, a lowkey foodie. Idk why.

General Opinion over said character: For me I do view him as someone HURT by his loneliness, though in the show, if I recall right, he seems quite content? With his existance. Or says he is, and how he's drawn to it.

I will say- I partially mirror some of my own experiences of loneliness onto him. I was so afraid of opening up to people at one point that I convinced myself that I WANTED to be all alone. I used to want to move into a little cottage in the woods and cut off all contact to people. But it was a self destructive coping mechanism. At points a survival mechanism. Maybe canonically Peter Lukas is a reliable narrator?

I recall him talking about the warm glow coming from the windows of houses though, and the loneliness it made him feel- if i'm attributing this right. And i have a really hard time contributing that to anything but YEARNING. And reveling in yearning. I also have experience w that. Yearning is a DELIGHTFUL feeling.

So yeah I think I do find a lot of comfort in the version of Plukas I have in my head.

Honestly he's burrowed a little nest into my head abd become something beyond a little blorbo from my shows.

Like i have thought about marrying him as a performance art piece. But i dont think rustied featherpen would like that.

Anyways hes the hands. I reach out to the old hands with swelled joints and paper thin skin almost translucent yet the palest veins i ever did see like they'v been drained. Bro. He is the medival manuscript where the sun orbits the earth and that's his eyes and where they land on me. He is so far away and like honey 2 me bro

#ask #TYSM #yk what ill expand on my thoughts when im done w my relisten #i defi feel like my plukas is just in my head. and thats ok but it is kinda funny

Bloody Mary

Interesting title...

Uh? We just talking today, Jon?

Jon going for the stories that he normally wouldn't find interesting. Fun.

Oh, hello Gertrude. What's good?

Uh? Oh... Mary Keay really did ruin so many lives... WAIT! Gerry thought he's dad was gone for good. Gertrude never told him!?

"You got old." Damn, alright...

This is very sad. I see why so many people make fan art of this guy. I wish he would ha-

What?! Wait, who's Right?

Yes! How! Eric, sir! Answer the question!

"I don't mean to be a dick..." No! I already like this guy so much and I just know that I'm never gonna hear from him again!

What? Gertrude wasn't very nice, you say? What a shock. Oh, don't mention Michael, you'll make me sad!

Yeah, okay, that's why Gertrude looked after Gerry the way she did. Makes sense.

Man is gonna make a statement, wonderful. I wonder if Gerry ever got to hear? Probably not, given the fact that he thought Mary never put him in the book.

Master's in library science. Fun... oh, this man thought he'd get to just move on. Cute.

"And then I met Mary." Oh boy, here we go. I have been wondering how these two would have become an item. Thought it was strange that she ever would have married. Though I guess she did want to start something of a supernatural dynasty.

"Like a shark is beautiful." WOW! This man likes being dominated by scary women and I can relate to that.

Here's the thing, I know what he's saying here is about Mary making him run around and meet with monsters and find cursed books. But it very much sounds like she introduced him to something like BDSM and his final words are about how exciting that was for him.

Oh hon, I don't think anyone was safe from her.

BRO! You've made so many mistakes! Eric, hon, you fool!

Smart, pity you didn't get to spend time with Gerry.

Tell me your secrets, sir! Explain! Stop beating around the bush!

OH! You blinded yourself. Wow. That's... well alright... I suppose that does make sense.

Oh my god! They let Jon say FUCK!

Martin!

Uh... what are you about to do here?! What?!

How did you guess that, Martin?

Wait, have they said fuck before in this show? Because I swear this is the first episode I've noticed it but suddenly Martin has said it too. Has Martin said the fuck would? Because I really can't recall at this point.

I'm getting distracted...

Are you really about to ask this man to run away with you? Jon, honey, that's really romantic but I feel like you're forgetting, you two aren't actually an item. Like, at least ask him out to dinner before you ask him to blind himself and run away with you.

I have so many feeling right now!

"my dearest jonah..." "next time i have the pleasure of your company" gay. idc. ive decided that jonah magnus is at least a little bit homosexual. oh albrecht is married? hmmmmm

"fascination with the macabre" huh? i wonder how he got into all that creepy stuff, enough to make the institute. but omg its so cute that albrecht heard from someone (hc that its another bf IDC) (any hcs i have abt jonah's collection of bfs is automatically a joke) that he got a new interest, then he immediately writes a letter and tells him abt macabre stuff! thats so sweet!

spoilers <3

i wonder how magnus got into the Eye, in the first place. from what we've seen, working at the institute is the best way to become an avatar. but it seemed that Magnus had always loved Knowing about everything, especially "creepy" (related to Dread Powers)

martin coming in with no trousers and jon having a perfectly normal conversation with him is so ace... and so me.

URGH i know i had a really good thought but i lost it. BOO OMG THATS RIGHT!! so, we k ow that statements are as eloquent as they are bc of the Eye, and them being compulsed by the archivist, right? does that apply over letters, phone, emails? i wonder. bc this dude seems plenty eloquent and traumatized

anyway, i think this is the Beholding! all the books, containing info and such (bc you know info lol), and being "seen" in the tomb, and feeling watched in the forest, etc. plus the being followed by an eye-less dude who could still see him.

spoilers over

does anyone who sees these actually care abt spoilers? i know my friend does so ill keep putting the warnings but i still wonder

anywho, i really love cemeteries. the consept of them is so interesting. i would so explore stuff like this if i could

i remember there being a letter as a statement, and it being addressed to jonah magnus, but not the contents of it. its really good though! i rly understand the mc of this one. and omg being followed is so creepy this whole statement is really amazing. i dont quite know how to put it to appreciate it well enough.

carla or clara, jon? which is it? lol

IT IS A RATHER A RATHER PLEASING DISCOVERY, ISNT IT?? i was so excited when i heard the name Magnus

well, thats all my lil commentary for this one. WAIT NEVERMIND THAT. MICHAEL KEAY?? (really jon. another michael.) MARY KEAY?? OMG???

okay now kim done! haha. heres my offering!

some jon for your travels. excuse how fried the photo looks, i tried to fuck around w the filters to make it actually visible bc i drew super lightly

have a great day!
