"the magnus archives sounds cool! what are the content warnings?"

[fiollaigean]

kidnapping stalking insanity sleepwalking cannibalism and teeth, gaslighting gun violence pipe murder and silence and medical trauma and meat. bugs in your body and poisoned black coffee and self-mutilation and lies, police brutality breaks from reality suicide spiders and eyes. paaaaaranoia degloving the uncanny valley and running like prey to survive, agonies torture and drowning and falling and then being buried alive.

I'll always believe that the fandom re-interpretation of Elias as a flamboyant, melodramatic theater kid who wears bright green suits and eye-themed jewelry does a disservice to how funny it is that he is, canonically, a very boring man.

[ieattaperecorders]

#Elias is the kind of guy who wouldn't buy a navy blue suit because it's 'too flashy'

#he spent centuries happy in a middle management position#hes supposed to look like the dictionary example of a boring buisnessman

#He's up there with Edward Cullen in terms of extremely boring immortals who pick the worst things to do with their unlimited time

A lot of very good tags on this, but this one in particular:

#he's specifically Just Some Guy: admin flavour#walk into any office and you'll have a dozen eliases#some of them scarier than tma elias#and that's one of his BEST qualities

YOU. *points* you get it. You understand.

HUGE POST BC I FINALLY FINISHED THIS ASSIGNMENT THAT I CHOSE TO ILLUSTRATE TMA FOR!! basically imagine this is a book👁️

[spooksier]

on today, the day of killing that old man i would like to point 3 incredibly sexy things from mag200

jon killing elias with a KNIFE. with his HANDS. after everybody in the show expected it to end in a psychic fuckin eye battle or whatever like jon went for one of the most physical, hands on ways to kill somebody and i love him for it

elias still trying to manipulate jon into thinking he doesn't have the stomach to do anything because that's how he's always been able to control him and jon answering that by brutally stabbing him multiple times

the distortion on jon's voice afterwards. end of post.

Fine, I’ll upload poggers clip.

Video transcription:

Alexander J Newall (as Martin): "The world ended. And-- and that is super NOT poggers."

Jonathan Sims (as the Archivist): "You're right, Martin. Very not poggers indeed."

jane prentiss and her worms outside of martin's house looking through his window and watching him sob into a can of peaches as he has a panic attack on the floor:

Actually the Top Jon Moment of All Time is when he spends the entirety of season 1 building up the idea that hes a hard weathered skeptic who doesn't believe in any supernatural bullshit and then as soon as he has an emotionally vulnerable moment where it's outed that this isn't true he IMMEDIATELY asks his coworker if he's a ghost. Like no hesitation at all. This man's reputation gets shoved in the grave and he just grabs a shovel and starts burying it
