Library Goblin

TMA/RQG sideblog for sinni-ok-sessi (aka Soup Dragon, aka Lee). Spoiler tags: 'early access spoilers', 'tma spoilers', 'mag###', 'rqg spoilers', 'rqg###' as appropriate. I do my best to tag consistently for at least the first week after airing.

THREE MORE SEASONS OF THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES HOLY SHIT IM SHAKING

Realised that I am today wearing the *exact* outfit I wore for my Martin cosplay, as a dog is loose in our library

It’s almost time! Erasing the Line is nearly over so I figured it was a good time to repost some of my best pieces from the last two years. These range from January 2020 to November 2021, and the improvement I’ve seen in my own work is honestly amazing to look back on. Nothing will improve your art so quickly as getting obsessed with an amazing podcast for two years!

I think the most fucked up thing about the Magnus Archives is I've listened to the whole show and I think I'd still probably work there

[nat-20s]

It pays more than enough for you to have your OWN apartment in London, you CANT be fired, AND the work seems interesting??? That's a way better deal than most places I've been

Funniest thing about tma is that Jon could be doing literally anything while recording a statement.

To me Jon seems like the type where he could do anything with a serious face, studiously ignoring that it is anything but normal. If you call him out on it he looks/glares at you like “what? I’m just doing a Normal Activity” regardless of how weird his current action is.

Jon is recording a statement crouched on top of a filing cabinet while holding a cat and yet he looks at Tim like he’s the weird one for pointing it out.

(It’s just logical Tim, the cat wanted to stay up there and I wanted to pet him. And I can’t just stop working, have you seen the state of these Archives-)

[esrah-rah-rasputin]

Maybe a bit less odd looking than “crouched on a filing cabinet” but this was my immediate mental image

Thinking about the time tim meredith, co-creator of stellar firma and voice of trexel giestman, accidently went home from a gay bar with a guy thinking they were just gonna listen to records

[im-sure-i-love-you]

I don’t know if anyone’s linked it yet (and honestly it’s nearly as funny without context) but here’s the clip from the stream where Tim told the story:

The fact that the records in question were old episodes of Round the Horne is what really makes this imo

(for anyone unfamiliar, RtH was notable for containing a very early depiction of gay characters in British media and also for introducing a lot of BBC-listeners to Polari. So not just 'Yes, I'd love to come listen to some records' but 'Yes, I'd love to come listen to an iconic piece of gay media history')

To die once and get brought back to life by Zolf may be regarded as a misfortune; to do so twice looks like carelessness.

BenQuest is HAPPENING and I have no idea what it’s gonna be and I’m SO EXCITED for any of it. Current hope is goblin quest, Ben GMs, everyone else plays clutches of Bens. Though I would be very very excited about anything involving the entire party’s worth of characters he’s played.

After a colourful fight, the party plan their next steps.

From next week, we’ll be taking a short break from the main #RQGaming campaign to air a metacast on relationships and the fabled, long-rumoured “BenQuest”! RQG204 will return on 4th August.

“I came for you” “Why?” “I thought you might be lost” is a deeply underrated part of the 159 jonmartin content send tweet

This may be the most extra thing I’ve ever embroidered.

I was originally following a design from an embroidery book with flowers growing out of the skull. But the Magnus Archives just finished so I had it on the brain, and having done the skull I realised I could instead fill it with other symbols from the podcast.

All the Entities are represented here. I’ll list each one’s symbol under a cut so you can see if you can spot them all.

This project maaaaaaay have gotten away from me. In that I hyperfocused on it so hard I had to take a break to wait for my fingertip blisters to go down.
