Spoilers for Magnus archives episodes 174-191
174-you can be INFURIATING sometimes. I know. Harbinger of the new age. Simon Fairchild at your service. He is my favourite avatar I love this man. “Oversimplifications of complicated truths” this is my new response when someone says why’d you lie. I’d prefer to keep existing if it’s all the same to you. Feel free to pop by again when you’re feeling less murdery. Byeeeee. I was rather looking forward to seeing an old man metaphysically explode. You’re really not helping. I’m not trying to. Martin-don’t mArTiN me! How are we still having this INTENSELY boring conversation??! It just…doesn’t sOuNd like a scary threat. Lol
175-Of those who believe the past was any defence against the future. -of everything that was lost, which is to say nothing of value. Some epic quotes I am seeing. Oh my goodness really?? And here was me thinking the apocalypse was going oh so swimmingly.
176-no accusations put in so course a form as voice. Betrayal being of the hunt is terrifying.
177-oh my GOD the voice acting. This is my favourite domain so far maybe favourite isn’t the right word but it’s incredibly written and done . God the writing is incredible. Wha did you expect to be under my face? Christ Helen you scared the hell out of me. Sorry darling. I love Helen she’s awesome. “little ethical wobbled” someone really living their best apocalypse
178-welp that was horrifying
180-cheater. I did not! I spy with my little eye…literally everything. (Giggles) just so you know this is an adorable look on you-yes, yes, yes. sOrRy tO bE a BuRdEn. Not when there’s a mystery on the loose wOoO. Besides those are the tombs with the longest epitaphs, so they must have been good people. Ooosh. Ooo it’s Salesa I had a feeling he would be up to something at the end of the world.
181-about 71 hours by my clock. Woop de do. I just told you-it’s my little bubble. Hehe. I assumed the thread holding her head together was because of a childhood knitting accident. This guy is fun. Tell me what happened. No. Look he’s so confused (everyone dying of laughter) your powers won’t work here Jonathon sims head archives of the Magnus institute London. Sinister monologue variety. Once you’ve seen backstage it’s hard to believe e in the show anymore. No reason to not live the apocalypse in style
182-Date and place of last contentment. What an incredible and chilling line
183-would you prefer I described it as a cascading recursion of shifting arrogance and hubristic dead ends? Would you described petulant poet as your area of expertise? Helen: gAsP. The only personhood I have was from someone I ate.
184-I can never look at ants the same way
185-this episode is the most chilling one I’ve heard yet. I am such a very big deal. Very big ass you mean. I’m allowed to what Spider-Man is.
186-as a matter of fact I do have a thermos. You’re joking! Martin and his tea are reunited. The voice acting to have Peter talk to himself is awesome.
187-Exuse me while I try to contain my joy. You’re exused. I love Helen. The tape recorder feels more awake. Oh joy. Deadbeat mom, classic. Shame, it’s very tasteful. There’s ferns. You are the question of what lurks behind a smile.
188-Martin was jealous of og helen. A hot coal of anxiety.
189-here’s your bloody performance. You do it all the time (collapse). I do not. Yes you do Jon sweetie. We’ve got a sort of a….cult. Everyone is so exited to see the ceaseless watcher’s special little boy.
180-first name terms with the profits…but disrespectful. I think I owe you an apology. rEaLlY no shit. Where’s the admiral? (The question we’ve all been waiting for.) well he has his own domain slay queen. Oh I’m the antichrist’s plus one. If I didn’t have Georgie I might just snap and beat everyone to death. It’s just hard not to look down on people when they put you on pedestal. Oh you know Jon, he’s a complete mess and so am I. She turned up a while back and tried to eat Celia. What a wild thing to say. Thought it was quite a good rhyme-shut up Jon. I love Georgie and Melanie trying to not be the profits. I do not want a poem. He doesn’t seem holy-and what would you know?
191-poor Martin gets startled by Jon sleep 👀 yeah well your truth is rude. Pop off Martin queen. If we find a way to destroy the powers…I’m not going to be okay. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH God I hate these conversations. Jon: yUp hEaVy sTuFf. Everything’s a bit shit. Not all of it. Does that make him evil? That makes him a cat. aT lEaSt I hAtE cOnSiStAnTlY. Again pop off queen I want my cat back.
