Hey y'all, got a question for you: this hiatus of mine has become less a hiatus and more a "i don't listen to the magnus archives anymore. " Would there be any interest from followers if this were just a general podcast sideblog? Or should I just make it officially defunct?

#love you all have a great weekend #and by 'general podcast' i specifically mean #that im gonna get REAL emotional about s3 of the penumbra and i gotta decide what blog im doing that on

the-mechanisms

Beloved stowaways. We, The Mechanisms, have sensed the end coming. Our end.

Perhaps it’s the baleful influence of the Bifrost or some sick twist in the coding of our bionic systems – a final trick of our creator. But it seems that even immortality can only outrun entropy for so long.

We feel our gears grinding down. Our story circuitry glitching. And soon, it seems, we must stop. Tell the final tale. The Mechanisms must die.

But - we aim to go out with a ball, and - because we have grown fond of you - we are returning to your planet for one final party; to say thank you and bid you all a fond (if bloody) farewell.

What's up I needed to share this extremely cursed emoji that's just chilling in Facebook messenger

If you send this to someone, they'll text you back a seven page essay on the worst thing that ever happened to them, and there won't be a single comma error

can we talk about the fact that jon definitely sent daisy to check on martin like some kind of carrier pigeon.

jon. this is getting ridiculous.

can you imagine daisy telling jon "hey so i talked to martin-"

and jon immediately going "oh GOOD thank GOD one of you's got ahold of him, he's been ignoring my texts and emails and handwritten perfumed letters so daisy i task you now with messenger"

anyway not to go back to my beholding faves on main but

“Basira kept looking at him like she couldn’t believe he made it back”

Basira told Jon “you don’t need to look at the black sun.” she was giving him a choice, and Jon said “No I will.”

and she left

she gave him a choice, and when he said “yes i want to look at the spooky sun that is probably going to kill me”

she left

and then, five seconds later, she came back and Jon was more alive than ever, and destroyed the spooky sun that supposedly couldn’t be stared at apart by the strongest Dark Avatars.

“like she couldn’t believe he made it back” = what is Basira going to think? She saw Jon at his most monstrous on that boat; she saw Jon vainquished in a glance something that was a huge threat; she heard Elias tell her nobody had ever got out of the Buried before.

I think two people aren’t sure they’re ‘happy’ Jon survived this trip.

#yyyep #i really want her to be able to trust him but this trip did not help #i still maintain that part of her hoped to take out the dark ritual and the watchers crown in one go #and now not only did the threat he poses fail to neutralize itself but she's realizing #that he's even more dangerous than she knew #tma #tma spoilers

“One of the downsides of not serving the Ceaseless Watcher is that WE have to actually look things up.”

SO MARTIN IS OFFICIALLY NOT PART OF BEHOLDING ANYMORE??

That’s more than a slow descent! I though he hadn’t made his decision yet!!

cuttoothed-deactivated20251108

I think it's more likely that this is how Peter wants Martin to think about it. He's moved from talking about how one day they'll hopefully serve the same patron, to now "oh we're not Beholding, we can't just know where stuff is".

Thing is Martin has never shown any ability to spookily detect information, other than being sure Jon wasn't dead that one time. And maybe subconsciously choosing statements to burn that Jon hadn't read yet? Certainly never finding specific statements to read like Jon can. Peter is just using this as a way to make Martin think of the two of them are already on the same team, as if Martin's already accepted the Lonely.

It's a classic sales technique, acting like it's already a done deal. Instead of asking if the customer wants to buy the car they've been looking at, you ask what color they're thinking of getting it in. It subconsciously puts the idea in their head that yes, this sale is happening, or that's the theory at least.

In summary, Peter Lukas is a used car salesman, and I reckon Martin is too savvy to fall for such an obvious ploy.

backofthebookshelf

Yeah, my first thought was "oh no Jon's nightmares 😢) but I think cuttooth is right, this is Peter pushing the idea on Martin.

After all, Martin seemed to be aware that Peter was about to show up before he actually did.

#100% agree this and the 'need your input' thing are peter once again trying to reinforce the idea #of them being on the same side #both in terms of them being allies and partners and in terms of Martin already being aligned with the lonely #if he starts thinking of himself as already tied to it then its a much smaller step to committing officially #and i think martins got much stronger ties to the beholding than peter wants him to realize #tma #tma spoilers

[ID: A very low detail drawing inspired by Gary Boylan’s statement. In the foreground the silhouette of a man can be seen. He’s wearing earbuds and is scribbling in a notebook. Behind him is the lower half of a beaten up pylon. He’s sitting in a wheat field, which stretches back towards the horizon. The sky is bleak and blue/grey, with hints of orange as the sun is setting. There’s a line of numbers at the top of the drawing, reading: 6 2 8 3 0 1 6 5 0 4 9 5 6 4 8 4 6 4 7 4 8 2 7. /end ID]

Thank you jonny sims for reawakening my irrational fear of number stations and mechanical voices,,

TMA fans outraged at Jon and Martin: >:o

Jon and Martin, consistently:

#tma #tma spoilers

somuchbetterthanthat

on the other hand - like, yes, Extinction!Martin = worst outcome to martin’s narrative arc in canon (tied with lonely!martin) - BUT

Extinction!Martin going “so, would you like to watch the world of humanity die with me, maybe?” dancing on his feet a bit, hands in pockets, to archivist!Jon. “We could, like, die last” he says looking at Jon through his eyelashes. and when Jon frowns he goes: “I mean, no offense or anything, but your ritual is obviously doomed to fail, like every other human endeavour because avatars are, at their core, still human. I could give you something terrifying to look at though; for a long time too, of course extinction is going to be slow.” and then he gets his hand off his pocket and offers it and Jon ponders on this 0.3s and goes “…alright.” and lets his fingers brush back against Martin’s because k n o w l e d g e.

#this fandoms capacity to make anything romantic is inspiring #martin as a slightly bashful harbinger of doom is cuter than it has any right to be #tma #jonmartin

TMA - asking for headcanons

When do you think Jon had the Talk about the Entities with his assistants? Specifically with Martin and Basira (as we know for Melanie, it was when she agreed spying for him, and Tim seemingly missed it)

Before the kidnapping? After but before leaving for America?

Did he add more, with a full list, when he came back and had learned more from Gerard?

statementends

“Now if you run into vast quantities of meat you probably want to just turn around and not go anywhere near that.”

“Spiders are b–shut up Martin. Spiders are bad.”

“Cold fog at morning, or any time for that matter sailor’s mourning.”

“Just bring a flashlight. Everywhere.”

“I would recommend you get your shots up to date. It probably won’t help, but…”

“Clowns are bad.”

“The sky can eat you and the ground can swallow you. Act accordingly.”

Martin poem on spiders! 🕸🕸🕸

i know you said ‘on spiders’ but i have chosen to take this opportunity to make this into jonmartin:

‪if i had eight arms‬‪i would ask to hold him tight with each one of them and ‬‪if i had eight legs i would use them ‬‪to run across the globe to him ‬‪but if i learned how to weave the fine silks ‬‪i would fashion myself a gag‬‪so i did not ask of him ‬‪Any promise he would not keep.‬

(send me a prompt and i will write a martin poem for it)
