i was expecting the graphic novel to be like a basic episode, but as a comic, just with Vlad and Dan shoehorned in as phandom pleasers and nothing else, but instead it's like. 'You remember every episode from 15 years ago, right? good because we're picking up right were we left off and we're barely going to explain anything or introduce the characters to any potential new readers. also obsessions are canon now and we retconned the finale ✌️ have fun'

#not that im complaining at all #agit #a glitch in time #agit spoilers #danny phantom #no canonical output can ever match the quality of the amalgamation of fanon chunks that every dp fan can pick and choose #but agit comes probably as close as realistically possible #joos yaps

once again begging people to use '#tmagp' instead of '#tmp', because the latter has us mixing protocol posts with minecraft youtubers and thats no fun for anyone

#tma #tmagp #the magnus protocol #i mean i could also JUST use the longer tag but thats so looong to type #joos yaps #and for the once #tmp #EDIT: it is indeed also a star trek thing #i just saw several other fandoms and picked minecraft to be glib

it's a bit of a fandom joke that Martin is good at lying to authority figures (elias, peter, even jon with his CV), but i wonder if his CV is the first of it, or if he had to learn younger

we don't get a lot of info on his mum, but we do know a few things. she's stubborn, too unwell to support both herself and a child, hates Martin, awful.

Probably too proud to ever ask for help, much less from Martin, much less to weather the indignity of having to ask her only son to drop out of high school to support the both of them. So it was probably Martin's idea, and i bet he was already trying to work full time at whatever paying job he was able to get, a while before he actually officially dropped out

just leaving in the morning, after helping his mum, telling her he was going to go to school and then going to work, hoping school wouldn't call about his absences while she was awake

on a sidenote, it makes a lot of sense that he would start lying about his age specifically - minimum wage practically doubles between being 17 and 21. and when minimum wage still didn't pay enough to support two adults, well, it's a small step to try and fill up those extra years with some extra credentials

#bit of a ramble without a good conclusion but eh im on holiday so i had to do tiis quick #before the thought either fled my mind or overcooked #martin #martin blackwood #tma #the magnus archives #tma s4 #ish #magnuspod #magnus archives #tma martin #doesn't line up exactly with the timeline he implies in 56. but i think its close enough that he might gloss over the particular details #joos yaps #probs #of those posts im gonna edit 10 times after hitting send. ah wel #tma meta #tma theory

whenever im reminded that the magnus protocol starts this fall, a part of me reacts with 'Yaaay! i get to see Jon and Martin again!'

and i have to gently remind that part that, to the extent their voices will even be in the show, it's not gonna be the same jmart i know from tma 😔

#unless they fully go for the fan service and throw away thematic resonance of the tma ending altogether #tmagp #tma #jonmartin #i mean we know the teaser is gonna be canon for tmagp so there is A martin #and ive always loved martin. but i will miss him still if this new martin is more like his s1 self #joos yaps #not literally importing s5 jmart is probably for the best... but i miss them 😢#tma s5 #tma finale

@a-mag-a-day Today I'm thinking about Martin, specifically, how quote-unquote human he really still is

he's clearly fallen on the side of 'Watcher' in the Eyepocalypse, not surprising perhaps, cause he already was able to turn invisible or something like it in s4 from the Lonely, and had to be 'both Lonely and Watching' enough for Peter's plan to at least work in theory. and while not as deep in it as Jon, he's still worked for the Eye for 10 years iirc, and he's marked by it to the point that it's a part of his domain

Martin in canon appears occasionally insensitive to Jon's new impulses, acting as the straight man to his avatar-ness. But we know that Martin's really good at acting like how he thinks things ought to be, while ignoring how he knows them to be deep down. (examples: him being the last one to accept Sasha is gone, at first instance assuming Jon must've been brainwashed in 142 Scrutiny, "I'm knackered!' -'Are you?' -'... ok, well, no, but i feel like i should be")

so i wonder, how much of his reactions are because Jon's words are genuinely alien to him, and how much is just posturing, exaggerating how he feels like he should react, to ignore when Jon's experiences feel relatable, or that niggling idea that, if everyone in this world is either victim or watcher, and Martin feels remarkably good, all things considered... well.

Or,

#as is often the case this isn't an essay on Why Martin Is Actually Just As Much An Avatar As Jon or something #just thinking out loud #spurred on by today's ep #and some amagaday posts with differing interpretations that set me thinking about my own #a mag a day #tma #tma s5 #mag171 #tma theory #Martin blackwood #the magnus archives #martin #joos yaps #also since im doing the amagaday and s5 isn't my fav there might very well be complicating statements made by Martin later #that i just forgot about #but that's for future me to deal with

@a-mag-a-day Today in 'analyzing minor beats', it's being sad about this line:

particularly the 'unless it was a subconscious thing on our part' one -

That in that blink of an eye when the world changed, and victims were being divvied up between the domains, some subconscious part of Martin saw a lonely Tim, and, though it wasn't the one he knew, reached out to pull him close

#tma #tma s5 #a mag a day #mag186 #martin #also martin #martin blackwood #tma meta #the Magnus Archives #magnus archives #joos yaps #id be sad for this unknown Tim but tbf he was gonna get got in any case. dont think the particular domain makes much of a difference #the victim divvying is a fun subject to think about the logistics though #cause its obviously based on their fears. but it also has to be based in part on location at the time #otherwise there'd statistically be way fewer english sounding names if it was truly random #/from all over the world

Jon really shows how he's learned from his previous experiences in this span of episodes:

he's resisting taking statements despite feeling like it might kill him

doing some metacognition and actively seeking out info that isn't fed to him by a horror god

sharing that info

going to ask for a second opinion, instead of either immediately rushing off headfirst into the danger, or quietly brooding on it by himself

and then getting his man back from the Lonely

It's a shame it all leads into the end of the world, but, on a personal improvement level, good on him!

#if youll excuse the double post. i just didn't want to clutter up the poll in case people wanted to reblog it around #also i often go back and edit posts to reword them. and polls dont let me do that to the entire post #a mag a day #mag157 #jonathan #jonathan sims #tma #tma s4 #joos yaps

Fay's voice acting really elevates this already great episode. My heart breaks every time Daisy just repeats "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Do y'all think Jon tested his rib-honing skills at all? im imagining hijinks where he gives it to Melanie for her to hide it somewhere around London, and Jon having to find it again. he does find it but at the bottom of a dumpster, and decides one test was enough

and im curious about something, so here's a poll!

What was the most important factor for Jon's anchor, according to you?

His rib

The tapes

Martin

A tie between two or all three of these

Other??
