#statement remains

[its-your-mind]

tma fandom for the past year and a half: the ambiguity of the ending was so beautiful, I love that we just Don’t Know what happened to them. Horror tragedy is a heart-wrenching but also amazing genre.

tma fans today: mARTIN? Martin my beloved bby boy?? Is here???? Is aliVe??? THANK FUCK THIS IS WHAT I WANTED ALL ALONG now where is my jarchivist whom I love so dearly rusty quill if you keep him from me I will never forgive you

As someone who has witnessed old, established fandoms get completely erased under a wave of new content, I'd like to put this request out now as early as possible:

Can we all, please, use separate tags for "The Magnus Archives" (TMA) and "The Magnus Protocol" (TMP*) both here on tumblr and over on Ao3.

There will be some overlap, of course, but searching for TMA should turn up content about Jonathan Sims, the Archivist, and the old established set of characters, while searching for TMP should turn up content about our as-of-yet unnamed new civil servant protagonists and whoever shares the show with them.

I realize that people are going to want to keep using the TMA tags for both personal organization reasons as well as visibility, but I promise you, once content for the new show starts really picking up steam it'll be easier on all of us if we have two separate tags to keep them straight.

[If we need an overarching umbrella tag, I'd suggest "The Magnus Universe" (TMU) to cover content related to the world as a whole rather than a specific show.]

*Edit: Some helpful folks have pointed out that "TMP" is already in use as a tag for Star Trek "The Motion Picture," so perhaps a better alternative would be "TMAGP" so we don't erase their fandom, either.

For those who want to know what the hell is happening

Rusty Quill posted the following image on twitter: 

[I.D: A green cassette tape, written on it is the code "U3RhdGVtZW50IFJIbWFpbnMK". End I.D.]

In Bas64, this reads “Statement Remains”. And so, the tma fandom went insane. Then, a patreon post appeared with the text “rzo5PoNfALU”, leading to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzo5PoNfALU. Analyzing the spectrogram you get the following message: 

[I.D: A spectrogram showing the code "evsmnuafdnbpvwgsdeir". End I.D]  

This code has been making everyone gone insane, but today there has been another message from the patreon:

[I.D. A grainy green text over black that reads "Go Back to the Start; YYYYMONTH". End I.D]

So! By using Coded Caesar with the key 2016, MARCH (first episode) on the evsmnuafdnbpvwgsdeir message, we get...

Absolutely iconic of Sasha to torpedo all of Alex’s careful planning and marketing by mishearing the new title, “The Magnus Protocol” as “The Magnus Scrotocol”

Help I’m late to the party re: cryptic Rusty Quill Magnus Archives news and don’t know how to catch up!

You have come to the right place! Here I will summarize The Bullshit™️ with time stamps where able. I will also update this post when new things come to light.

Let’s go one day at a time!

10 October

Rusty Quill Twitter and Instagrams post UNPROMPTED, UNEXPLAINED eyes

On the same day, RQ patrons got a code in the weekly Patreon round up

12 October

RQ Twitter posts a tweet with an image of a cassette tape with the same code as had been given to the patrons: U3RhdGVtZW50IFJlbWFpbnMK

Using base64, the code comes out to “Statement Remains”

The RQ insta also posted this image to their story:

Which, if you take the image as binary code, comes out to “Are you still listening?”

A new code was also posted to RQ patrons, and will be added here if/when it is publicly released.

EDIT: There were strings of text added to the episode description of Goodbye for Now in the TMA feed, which when translated through Base32 and then Base64 read: "this one was an accident. sorry -_-"

Amazing, 11/10 work, RQ

(ty to @official-infinitea for the update on the pod description codes!)

EDIT: also on-going is like… every person associated with RQ being VERY MEAN and dropping hints that we’re all gonna lose our shit whenever whatever this is drops

13 October

Apparently the Patreon code from yesterday led people wildly off-course, because they gave another hint today to solve it. Again, going to keep the specifics of that off this post bc patreon, but know that in the end, it leads to the same place as what is below.

Also, Fay Roberts, who played Daisy Tonner in TMA, tweeted

The QR code translates to: WHR'TS ECAHXJ TCLKHX U AC JV Y

It was solved the rough four layers of translation and encryption, to read: “your guess is as good as mine.” Thank you, Mx. Roberts. Where would we be without your clues leading us.

The RQ Twitter and Instagram also posted

New episode:

I'll let you listen to that one on your own 😉

Code in the description is

7V?UOEdDb7B-9W`H>[n7AhG3$ATAo0@V?lrB6JQG+F/-BB6%F(@<=^@$<L\[@3B5q/0IH*G%G<0EbBM;6?$RHDfTD?+F/!?Aft`(H$CHLDdmBm+EhBM

Which translates via ascii to

"Statement Remains. Are you still listening?

Join us, Thirtieth October, lets talk about it."

4pm BST tweet:

Using a polybus code box, the numbers translate to:

The Magnus Archives Two

THAT’S RIGHT BITCHES WE GETTIN MORE TMA

STATEMENT REMAINS UPDATES

RQ Twitter, at 4PM exactly, posted this image, captioned with a spiderweb emoji:

{ID - A green-coloured cassette tape. Written on the cassette tape is the code: U3RhdGVtZW50IFJlbWFpbnMK. END ID}

This is the same code that was released on Patreon yesterday.

on PATREON, a new post has appeared with the code “rzo5PoNfALU”

this code is a youtube link:

a seven second clip of weird, birdlike, squeaky noises. Possibly something encoded. Uploaded yesterday.

on INSTAGRAM, they’ve posted this image, as of yet uncoded:

{ID - a square with blacked out pixels, reminiscent of a QR code, on a background of spiderweb and possibly also smoke. It is stamped with a Rusty Quill logo. END ID}

[boomdeyadah]

[ID: a digital illustration in the shape of a scratchy oval. Within the oval, Martin is facing away from the viewer, looking down at something he’s holding close to his chest. He is a large chubby man in a cardigan, with short hair and glasses. Surrounding him is a dark, ghostlike figure, which is probably Jon. It has no facial features except very big eyes that are staring directly at Martin’s face. It is only inches away from Martin and has several thin arms that are clutching Martin tightly on his upper arm, around his hands, and around the back of his head. The figure’s torso and head appear solid, but dissolves into the background at its waist and from where its hair extends upwards and outside of the illustration. There are words at the top that say, “Oh, hello… are you still listening?” End ID]
