#season 1 of the magnus archives is a workplace comedy

[feral-and-chaotic]

IT'S A TRAVESTY. That we didn't get more Sasha and Tim in season 1.

Season 1 vibes are impeccable and I wish there was more of it.

[thermodynamic-comedian]

ok but if the magnus archives really WAS a workplace comedy, i bet they could've done something extremely funny with the whole elias/jonah twist. like they would've revealed it to the audience at season 1, and then seasons 2 to 4 would just be full of him getting into increasingly ironic situations.

i can just so vividly picture one of those scenes where someone casually mentions jonah magnus and elias, who just so happened to be walking by, accidentally responds to the name. or someone audibly wonders why all the former heads of institute all seem to have the same eye color, and elias is sweating nervously like "haha yeah what a weird coincidence" and then he looks at the camera like they do in the office or whatever.

i'm just saying. "my manager is secretly also the founder of this institute" sounds like a sitcom set-up.

#i thought of this post last night before falling asleep thank god i remembered to post it #the world needs to know #tma #the magnus archives #tma shitpost #jonah magnus #elias bouchard #tma spoilers

The Magnus Archives workplace comedy

au where TMA still has 5 seasons, but it’s just a continuous season 1. Everything is okay, the scary statements can be dismissed, their boss is just a weird old man, and everyone is friends!

[fridayyy-13th]

for the anti-honesty hour: explain season 1 of tma

okay so like there's this guy, jonah magnus. everyone calls him jon. they're his archives. he's specifically categorizing not-real scary stories. all of them are fake, they're supposed to be. it's like an archive dedicated to human creativity, and to learning what trends occur in people's fears.

and he's got some assistants to help him! there's jimmy magma, jonie magnum, and john sims. the h is very important. there's a running gag of someone calling "jo(h)n?" and both john and jon responding, since their names are phonetically identical.

and it starts off very silly and fun, your typical workplace comedy, with jon and his assistants cataloguing these spooky tales. but one day, everything changes...

early one morning, jimmy bursts into the archives in a panic after nearly two weeks of being out sick. jonie's the only one in--she's always been the workaholic of the gang--and she calms him down with a cup of coffee as the other two arrive. by then, jimmy's composed enough to explain that he wasn't out sick at all, he was accosted by one of the monsters from the statements, jane prentiss, a lady made of parasitic earthworms who kept him trapped in his flat with no way to call for help. it sounds absolutely absurd, and jon and jonie express their doubts, but john believes him wholeheartedly, and lets jimmy crash at his place for the time being.

this trend continues as time goes on, with everyone starting to encounter more and more of these stories that were supposed to be fake, as the worms jimmy described--shaped like regular earthworms, but cartoonishly pink instead of dark pinkish-brown--start showing up around the archives building. the group learns how to get rid of them with a fairly simple solution: water, like the wicked witch of the west. it's almost laughable. the lightheartedness of the first half of the season has taken on a bitter tone, but it's still chiefly a comedy with some spooky shenanigans.

one day around noon while the assistants are working, john's doing that thing where you throw pencils at the ceiling tiles to get them stuck. he does it enough that the tile he's aiming at cracks and collapses, showering down an absolutely ridiculous amount of worms, and they just keep coming. turns out prentiss has been hiding in the ceiling, and now the assistants have to trigger the fire sprinklers to stop her. why they kept a water-based fire supression system in a chiefly-paper archive? who knows. it was an old building. jon almost gets eaten by worms, but he's fiiiiine. the four make their way to the manual release, jonie flips the switch, the system goes off, they save the day! a happy ending for everyone. nothing bad happens ever again. don't think about the other monsters they encountered from their supposed-to-be-fake statements, it's fine! everything's fine. the end. maybe.

(ask game)

#yes i stole the first two assistants' names from tim in mag 162 what of it lmao #this was ridiculously fun. it's also the closest i'll ever get to writing a crackfic lmao #i had a lot more strength with the first half though. the second half was kinda just mag 039 with less death #and genuinely i've always liked the fact that in canon jonathan and jonah both share the first three letters of their names #it's fun. in a twisted parallel sort of way #friday chats #ask game #the magnus archives #am i gonna regret maintagging this? probably. but i'm doing it anyway

Me, a naive fool: I like TMA so far, but I should look up some content warnings post-season one because it's very spooky and I want to make sure I can handle it!

The internet: Season one was so light and funny and wholesome and I can't believe how dark it gets!

Me:

Me: Oh boy.
