@martinschwarzwald
personally I think Jon Archivist made a series of decisions. Morally some were good and some were bad and some were in between. Some of those bad actions he had control over and some of them he didn’t. Hope this helps!
#the point of being a Jon fan is to defend him from people who demonise him and throw tomato’s at him when people try and coddle him actually I think my tags are funny too
my favorite alex-newall-isms from rqg thus far, in no particular order:
*repeats back the number of the dice roll as a question*
“…that would take AGES…”
“bear with”
“maHOOsive”
“heiffing”
“rocks/rocking up”
*like a bond villain* gOOd…gOOOOOOOOd…
*stumbles over his words and scats a lil song*
“maaaaaayyyybbbeee??” (translation: yes that is 100% correct)
round two, plus incorporating some of the suggestions in the reblogs/tags (i seriously love you all so much thank you)
“LOADS”
“faffing” (can’t believe i forgot this one)
“it’s almost like…[obvious explanation for thing]”
*leans harder than usual on the northern accent to underline a joke*
“…can only be described as…”
“i’ll throw you a bone here…”
“i’d like you to imagine…[insert just the most obscure fucking analogy]”
“[obscure fucking analogy]…that’s the only way i can describe it”
“…have you ever seen [obscure thing that the person has probably not ever seen and may or may not have fuck all to do with what’s being described]? it’s that.”
“presHUMEably”
“but yeahhh…it’s a thinG”
“…if i’m honest”
“picking up exactly where we left off…”
“you ABsolute STUNNER”
“…let’s leave it at that”
“you hear the distinct sound of [something that does not have a distinct sound]”
*says episode numbers in That Format that annoys ben*
“…and [character] is just…there”
“for the sake of my own sanity”
“as it stands”
i’m glad rq released a statement and all but like hey @ rq are you gonna say ANYTHING about all of the mods of your server being racist and actively shutting down discussions of racism (in and outside of rq’s works) and making a place that is *inherently unsafe for poc* because of the mods “not wanting to be political” or “not wanting to hurt cops’ feelings”
kinda funny that that server was a hellhole of absolutely vile racist bullshit for ages but it took hurting the mostly white mods’ feelings for anyone including rq to actually give a shit about it lmao. nice that if they ever bring the server back they said it’d be very different but would’ve been nice they’d explicitly addressed that the server had problems long before all of this, namely ALL THE FUCKING RACISM
Hey my friend, the server is still up. Please feel free to look through it and find examples of this and post them for folk to see because casually throwing out accusations of racism without proof looks real fucking bad! For YOU! YES YOU. You’ve got about two days left to gather all your evidence.
Spoiler. There isn’t any.
Fuck all the waaaaay offff.
OP, sorry it landed on you that way, quick questions:
1. Can you give an example? As noted the server is still there. Just one example from the actual server that reflects this pattern.
2. Why would you even visit an environment that causes you so much pain?
The mods did the best they could and their commitment to the WHOLE community shone through every day.
Your negativity ruined it for the rest of us. A bit of patience, some discussion, but no, you had to make it impossible. I hope you find peace.
Okay. Fuck both of you so fucking much.
1) why do you automatically assume I’m causing negativity in a space I’m not even currently in by venting personally on my personal account in my own space. Claiming I’m “causing negativity” or “making it impossible” to have peace by discussing my own experience with racism in my own personal space is fucking racism lmao but thanks for automatically assuming I’m inconveniencing you and causing you problems by venting about my own experiences. Mean angry brown person is the reason u can’t have fun and not RQ or its mods who are mishandling a public server boohoo >:(
2) I am not in the server. I am not in the server *because of the racism that was there*
3) I’m not taking homework assignments from a fucking stranger who has decided that me and poc talking about our experiences on our own personal accounts needs a fucking cited bibliography. If YOU don’t like me talking about this why don’t YOU leave? Why don’t YOU not engage with me? I’m not talking to the mods or in the server at all lmao why don’t u take some of ur own fucking advice
4) y’all are why poc leave fandom lmao. Because we can’t fucking talk about our own experiences without yall invading our spaces and condescending to us like we’re fucking children. Leave me the fuck alone lmao just bc u never saw racism doesn’t mean the multiple people talking about it are incorrect
are u listening to the multiple people who have come forward abt racism or other forms of discomfort in the server (which I’ve already discussed in the notes) or are you cherry-picking the two people who were not upset
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
1) Public post is not personal space. If you don’t want to engage in any discussion that’s fine.
2) My misunderstanding about being in the server. Let me change the question, why even comment then? In all seriousness, what do you want? If just venting fine.
3) One example. I want things to get better and want to know what to watch out for.
4) Trying to engage in discussion, plus support the mods.
My account is my space??? Lmao do u not know what personal boundaries are or
“Why did you comment” because calling out racism is important you dumb fuck and I’m a brown person who is actively affected by racism. I have a right to call it out when I see it and I don’t owe u a fucking explanation
Coming onto a random brown person who you don’t know’s post to accuse them of making YOUR personal experience toxic, in a space they weren’t even a part of, and demanding they provide “sources” for your own comfort, is…so fucking racist and nowhere near “starting” discussion. Why is ur first assumption of a random stranger that I’m at fault for your toxic environment in a server that was mishandled by both RQ and it’s mods? “Plus support the mods” ok so ur supporting racists lmao
Anyway here you go multiple examples of them shutting down “political” discussions, poc speaking about their experiences, prioritizing cop and landlord feelings over poc’s safety, etc
If you didn’t see racism happening maybe it’s bc ur not the one affected by it lmao
“I want things to get better” how about you start with yourself. Right now. Being actively racist to me. Lmao.

1: From Faustin wing bargains (brinn) on April 29th, 2020.
Brinn: “guys acab is a no go on this server”
2: A censored post from a censored name:
Censored: “Hang on a minute, why was my BLM charity commissions post in #self-promotion taken down yesterday for being "poltical” and now there’s an announcement to the whole server saying “black lives matter”??? It was literally a day apart… 🤔 genuine question okay"
3: A conversation between Anne (back to gold; she/her) and a censored name on Feburary 13, 2020.
Anne: “Please, could we dial back the cop hate? It’s a bit aggressive/poltical for this place, I feel”
Censored Name: “I think more importantly this has devolved into magnus chat hshduss. I’d hope this is a leftist space”
Anne: “We still want to keep actual politics out of it, not in the least because the topics are unpleasant for many people to be reminded of/confronted with
(Also we’re a varied and international community, and there’s nothing to say there aren’t actual real live cops that are RQ fans)”
4: A conversation between Brinn and two censored names (Censored 1 and Censored 2 in the ID) on June 1, 2020.
Brinn: “please remember this is first and foremost a rusty quill fan server. Not all things are appropriate for discussion here, not because of the stance the community holds but because it is actively triggering to some people and this is meant to be an escape.”
Censored 1: “there… are black rusty quill fans. And cast members.”
Censored 2: “this is a general chat, but I get its upsetting because of the state of the world but ACAB is not a call for violence”
Brinn: “this server is for the discussion of rq properties, and any off topic channels are tangential to that”
Censored 1’s message has 3 point up emotes. Censored 2’s message has 3 heart emotes.
5: A post from Bryn (Hamid) (He/Him) on June 1, 2020.
Bryn: “blm we are not asking people not to talk about it. We are asking people not to talk about it here. We have discussed that option and the company has decided not to implement such a channel as we do not think we would be able to operate it in the way which it would deserve”.
This message has 19 pointed up emote, 9 sparkly hearts, 1 middle finger, and 1 thumbs down emote.
6: A message from Brinn on May 28, 2020.
Brinn: “also, general reminder that we’re not in the business of painting entire corporations with the same brush; landlords are not a more acceptable acab”
This message has 2 fruity drink emotes.
7: Messages between Brinn, Nelja, and a Censored name on May 1, 2020.
Brinn: “hi friendly mod reminder to chill on the cop hate not everyone’s american and there are a wide range of folks on the server.”
Nelja: “Honestly I used to dislike Daisy a lot as an evil cop, I was surprised to like her after her redemption arc, but it’s legitimate for everyone to not to be able to forgive anything she did”
Censored: “and I love in Los Angeles. We’ve had full riots in response to the police. We historically Do Not Like Them so it’s interesting seeing Daisy as like… a non American thing? Since normally that’s all I see
Censored: "brinn I’m talking about my cultural impact on it specifically I’m not making any statements”
Brinn: “I know, just wanted to post a reminder”
8: Message from Brinn on April 12, 2020.
Brinn: “yeah, you are definitely free to discuss what aspects of the story make you uncomfortable and why that is, you can’t just be like ‘Daisy sucks bc she’s a cop and all cops suck’ because like…. we got a lot of folks here, some of them might be cops.”

One of the funniest jokes I've ever written and it's from a tma/wtnv fic I'll never finish but damn if I'm not sharing it now:
"And now the weath-.
Hold on, listeners. Intern Lenny is frantically passing me a few pieces of paper, making waving motions with his arms and mouthing 'not now'. We must postpone the weather for a brief panicked paper reading.
Oh! It's a note from the station. It seems to be that today's weather is canceled. The reasoning is as follows: Respecting the limits of our medium is far more important than accuracy.
I do not know what that has to do with the weather but it is a good message nonetheless! If you need to do a seance or if you have a pesky possession problem, make sure you have the proper medium for the task. But more importantly, be kind to medium friends. Do not demand for them to come to your homes hours before midnight on a Tuesday night with zero preparation. Especially if you do not bother to pay them extra or even offer a kind glass of water for their troubles. Otherwise, even if your medium can claim to bring back any dead relative, if you do not treat the profession with the love and respect that it deserves, your medium may find it fortuitous to summon something unpleasant instead. And perhaps, if your medium happens to accidently summon your uncle Tim instead of your great uncle Tom, it may be more kind to accept that your contact with the dead will be a bit different than expected. Because, come on, do we really need to bother with having to redo the whole seance again just for one minor detail?
Putting aside the power of communicating with the dead, we must move forward with our lack of weather. The paper that was given to me has several other sheets alongside it. On them is a poem!
Well, I think we can all see where this is going. Join me, listeners, as I read this very special not-weather poem announcement."
Wait one more:
"Today, we had an odd occurrence happening in our skyline. Rogue eyeballs are looking down at us. Much like the sheriff's secret police force watches us all. Every hour. Every day. However, the sheriff vehemently denies any involvement with the eyes stating, "if we could put literal eyes in the sky, we would have done it years ago". For now, the eyes themselves seem to be just...watching. Unblinking. I don't know about you Nightvale, but they seem like a perfect addition to our little town. Perhaps we can welcome them with a hearty hello and a bottle of eyedroppers. Because wow, staring all day must make their eyes really dry."
tma time travel au but instead of explaining anything jon and martin spend the entire time in a heated debate over whether it’s actually time travel or dimensional travel, and whether there’s a meaningful difference between the two.
Jon: It’s dimensional travel; that’s even what Annabelle said it was, and Anya Villette proved that different universes can be moving faster or slower than each other. We’re clearly just in a universe that hasn’t yet caught up to ours.
Martin: We haven’t seen any differences between where we are now and what we lived! if it’s another dimension, it’s indistinguishable from our past, so what’s the point in thinking of it differently?
Jon: The point is that if it’s not time travel, then we left behind another world rather than overwriting it, and furthermore-
Tim, who just asked if they wanted anything from the bakery:
Sasha: wait did you mention something about the apocalypse? can we go back to that?
Jon, standing and pacing: -and if it were time travel then we’d be in constant danger of paradoxes, something that clearly-
Martin, also standing and red in the face: Paradoxes?! You said yourself that the entities work on dream logic, not physics! If we time traveled, which we did, we could simply assume that-
Jon, gesturing wildly to past Jon and Martin, who have not spoken a single word through all of this: Then how do you explain them?! It has to be dimensional travel because we’re doubled up! If this was time travel we’d have simply assumed their places!
Martin: No, because in Back To The Future-
Jon: Did you just cite Back To The fucking Future at me-
in honor of jonny’s recent tweets and inspired by a recent post by @radiosandrecordings, i made an Ominous Baked Goods generator! now you, too, can have your very own disconcerting description of the magnus archives’ finale.
anyway tag yourself im anguished scone
Keep reading
Let’s play “Did this actually happen in TMA and TUC?”
(For real this time)
Martin putting shirtless photos of that one statement giver in the archives when he researched him (though we didn’t know if he could cut them out of the articles.)
Murder Knife Geckos
That guy that just…swallowed a cup full of dirt. Just a lot. Right before getting hit by a dirt storm.
Person eats cow eyes. Person grows cow eyes where there shouldn’t be. Person gains the abilities of cow eyes.
Guy that was just trapped in a box on a space station, and no one knew he was there the whole time.
Meat stapled to the wall
Dark-aligned Fish Tank
The Stranger makes people that lack skin texture. Like a bad CGI movie.
Helen invites Jon to fuck(???) Martin inside her/her domain (please, God, tell me that wasn’t at all what she was implying in that episode)
“Whoops! I embalmed a living person!”
nbphobic theatre
Haunted Bird Buries Woman Alive
Cat that delivers your girlfriend dead spiders. She loves them so much she keeps them in boxes!
Homophobic earrings
Feral mosquitoes
Director misunderstands Shakespeare so badly, an actor gets stuck in an alternate dimension of mask people.
Some nameless guy fucking playfully clicked his tongue at Jon before leaving. Was it a flirt?? Hot Jon rights?? He sounded flirty!! The recording lives in my head rent-free and I kept looking in the tma tags to see other people’s reaction. And fucking Nothing!! I thought it was like when they flooded the streets with blood for Jon’s homecoming party, and no one said anything because something even bigger (plot wise and meme wise) happened.
The sky pops a guy into its mouth
Ulysses’ chiropractor is working for The Flesh. Ulysses is only mildly disturbed. Makes sense.
Mummy that won’t die so it stabs itself for all eternity
Cult leader becomes a landlord
Feral Platypus
Dark Cult Incorporated (the cult infiltrates a business)
“My dad had bees inside him”
Local wlw monsterfucker pines so hard she waits for wlw monster to kiss her once a year. How romantic!
Clown eats himself as a stand-up comedy routine in between crying

It’s Feral Platypus, Dark-aligned Fish Tank, and Jon flirt. I was 100% sure TUC and TMA had those episodes, but I was wrong. The Jon blood flood is real though WHY is no one talking about that-
that tma episode about the true crime club kids all going crazy and murdering each other was such an underrated episode this is literally the funniest opening to a statement ever
[ID: Two tweets from Rusty Quill. The first reads “In light of the recent killing of Walter Wallace Jr, we have decided to delay the public release of this week’s #MagnusPod episode due to some of the themes explored. MAG185 will instead be released next week as part of a double bill.”
The second tweet reads “We don’t believe it appropriate to “push” this content to people’s devices at this time, but we will be releasing the transcript for MAG185 later today, so that those who wish to, can familiarise themselves with the narrative events ahead of next week’s episode drop.”]
Fellow patreons please remember to cancel any posts queued to come out! The transcript will be releasing later but I’m sure many people will want to wait until the episode’s full release - or just want to skip this episode entirely because it’s a very tough one that deals with themes of police brutality and wrongful incarceration - so if you’re posting about it after the transcript releases please remember to be extra careful to tag those posts for spoilers so they can be avoided by those who won’t be listening.
If anyone is uncomfortable listening/reading DM me and I’ll summarise the key plot points that don’t deal with the statement itself
TMA animatic! my first go at one for the magnus archives. This is my favorite Martin Scene
the tma fandom really had me hyped up to hate elias bouchard going into this series and. I’m halfway through season two and all this man has done is tell jon to go to sleep and politely ask him to stop stalking his employees.
hi! elias bouchard is a rat bastard motherfucker
when my friend told me "jonathan sims is biromantic asexual" to convince me to listen to the magnus archives podcast, what i thought he meant was:
jonathan sims doesnt have an established relationship through most of the content, the relationship(s) he would have last less than half the content
jonathan sims has multiple conversations with multiple people of different genders, and some of these conversations can be seen as flirty, but it is probably not adressed so it would be just a headcanon
jonathan sims doesnt has sex that he mentions in canon, nor does he mention wanting to have sex with someone
jonathan sims is most probably too busy with the supernatural stuff to even worry about having sex
when my friend told me "jonathan sims is biromantic asexual" what i thought he meant was "this character leaves you an opportunity to place your headcanons onto him without having to go directly against canon content" because THATS what im used to . because there was no way the protagonist was biromantic asexual, there was just no way– and yet
i love jonathan sims being canonically biromantic asexual and i love it even more because i never thought i could get a character like him
I keep seeing people in the main tag who seem against all odds to believe that TMA either won’t or shouldn’t end in tragedy.
It will, it has always been a horror tragedy and it will end beautifully and heartbreakingly. Anything else would be a disservice to the fandom, Jonny, the work, and the characters. If that upsets you do yourself a favor and stop listening now, because your mental health is more important than any media.
I’m catching up on Underwood Collection and I just think it’d be neat if Everyone Listened To It Right Now. It’s so very good. TMA fans who miss season 1-4’s format it’s right there!!!
jonny sims said fuck the military industrial complex
me: Man, this season of Magnus is going to be so different; so many of the previous statements were rooted in a context slightly removed from our own, making the horror easier to distance from. I can’t wait to see how season 5 deals with bringing the Fears real-time into the present day.
Season 5: how about war? how about war as a tool for capitalism and xenophobia? how about war that’s been going on for the entire lives of the youngest generation? how about drones that can be anywhere silently and without warning and are absolutely 100% real? how about we literally rip someone’s heart out in front of you? bitch?
me:
