I remember first learning that Gertrude was voiced by Johnny’s mother and immediately thinking of Gertrude yelling at a young John to do the dishes, while he’s in his room angsting over a tape recorder
Hehehe

Mag 44
Tumblr media
Gertrude motherfucking Robinson!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We have good clowns. No, they're nothing like your pathetic, worthless clowns that don't deserve to lick the dirt from my boots. Our clowns tell jokes.
Tumblr media
Interesting that our statement-giver is definitely not afraid of the Stranger or the Vast, the two most obvious contenders for a fear associated with tightrope walking. It really seems like his fear is entirely focused on witnessing something terrible. Building from the experience in his childhood, I'd say this guy is almost definitely marked by the Eye.
If so, it could explain why he was able to get out of the Circus relatively unscathed. Being Eye-aligned can be a powerful protection against the Stranger.

Aww look, Nikola in her awkward phase.

I wonder if the fact that he has never seen a real tiger is why he can't tell that this one is very obviously some kind of fucked up doll.

They just pick him up! And carry him back to his dad! These two sons of bitches were simply born to deliver. Even in the Circus, they cannot stop themsleves from delivering. Breekon and Hope have arrived with your boy delivery, sir. Sign here.
Tumblr media
I'm calling this more evidence that our statement-giver is Eye-aligned. He saw something fucked up and dedicated the rest of his life to academic study to try and figure out how the fucked up thing can be possible. Jonathan Sims energy.
Tumblr media
I'm sure this would be horrifying to witness irl, but I can't stop laughing at the mental image of two clowns just beating the absolutely shit out of each other. If I was in this crowd I probably wouldn't need to be forced to laugh by evil strange energy, I'd just be losing my shit because I'm a terrible person.

MAG 44 is a chilling episode. I hate the Circus of the Other so much. It terrifies me. Gertrude Robinson was perfectly cast and it is a sort of perfect irony she's voiced by John Sims' mother.

I don't know why I'm so surprised by the fact that Gertrud is so well spoken. I already assumed she was hiding something in the Archives by intentionally leaving it a mess.
I think maybe I'm just impressed by the overall voice acting of the video, the VA has a very good voice and I'm honestly curious to check out anything else she might have been in.

[ID: a drawing of a figure with pure black skin and long greying hair suspended in the air. They are wearing a ripped grey coat and grey pants, and are covered in dozens of glowing green eyes. Behind them, three huge green eyes stare at the viewer. The text on the bottom reads "CEASELESS WATCHER" and glows green. end ID.]
Inktober taglist: @abouttogetshellshocked, @cnnamonrolls, @wherearetheplants, @doublelifer, @idkjustgowithitok, @abysslll, @multi-lefaiye. ask to be +/-.
(black and white inktober-y version under the cut.)

[ID: the same drawing as before, but in complete greyscale tones. end ID.]

one wonders how gertrude managed to keep herself so much more detached despite being the archivist for so long. she could sacrifice her assistants to her cause; she read statements but didn't get sucked into nearly to the extent that jon does (evident even just from her first appearance in a recording in mag 44).
something about how she must have actively chosen not to care strikes me as a bit more monstrous that jon ever was, because at least he still chose to care all the way to the end.

@oceanoecielo / universe hopping. ( mark twain )
This place feels wrong.
It actually almost makes Twain nauseous as soon as he steps through the threshold that leads to 44's archives. The first few times he'd done this, ended up somewhere he had no business being, he hadn't even been able to tell at first---but this time is different. He's not sure if he's just weirdly sensitive to this kind of thing or if the difference between here and home is that stark, but he can't help but note there's a sense of dread that seems to linger thickly in the air.
And he's not alone, but he'd clocked that the second he'd walked through the door. It's just that he's doing his best to play off his confusion about the change in atmosphere as confusion about his location. So he makes a show of it; glances around with furrowed brows and exaggeratedly jumps when he "notices" the old man.
"Well, this is fucked." He sends a glance back at where the door he came from was, despite knowing it'd be gone. "Uh. Hey... You wanna pretend that didn't happen, maybe? I'm just a little lost."

MAG 44 - Tightrope
[Day 44/200]
Sure enough, there, sat behind thick iron bars, was the vivid, orange face of a tiger. It regarded me with narrowed eyes, though it remained still. [...] The mouth stayed curled to reveal its teeth, the ears stayed alert and pointed forward, and the eyes still stared out, though where they had at first seemed brilliant, they now had an almost glassy look to them.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!
I am on MAG 44 (Tightrope), and I am listening to Gertrude's voice for the first time!
She has an accent! I don't really recognise from where exactly but I already like it!

Gertrude really read Yuri Utnik's statement and went fascinating, I wanna study him with a microscope!
This circus is definitely something she seems interested in beholding
