I think I have figured out why I don't like Martin Blackwood. He has no anger. He's sad and frustrated and probably a bit depressed but he's not angry. Jon is angry, Tim is angry, Daisy is so so angry, hell, Basira is angry but Martin isn't. He just wants everything to be okay and it's not.

...I am realizing I sound like Tim...

Non_Writer's 14 Comforts

I am currently working through The Magnus Archives and was wondering what the opposite to each of the fear would be. This is my proposed list:

The Buried: The Liberated (freedom from financial issues, walk-able cities, above-ground transport, freedom to leave)

The Corruption: The Strengthened (preventing decay and rot (not actively fighting it), setting broken bones, vaccines, maintenance of anything: cars, buildings, bodies, etc.)

The Dark: The Light (the light from fire, the light from houses, light that speaks to human habitation) (The City on the Hilltop)

The Desolation: The Creation (creating anything, especially with your hands) (nature preservation and conservation)

The End: The Beginning (birth, rebirth, saving life)

The Eye: The Ambivalence (not caring what others think, YKINMK, live and let live, not caring what others do)

The Flesh: The Machine (machines, especially ones used for creating: sewing machines, looms, spinning wheels, combs, etc.) (knowing that humans are capable of things other animals aren't.) (humanity is a healed femur)

The Hunt: The Guide (helping travelers, maps, park rangers)

The Lonely: The Community (caring about people and knowing they care about you) (knowing everyone when you walk into a place, greeting people when you see them, maintaining regular contact with the people you care about)

The Slaughter: The Savior (radical kindness, caring for everyone, goodness for goodness's sake)

The Spiral: The Truth (truth, even if it hurts, plain language and straightforward communication)

The Stranger: The Home (familiarity, knowing things are as they seem, sincerity)

The Vast: The Minute (studying micro organisms and things smaller than humans, showing that humans are huge)

The Web: The Choice (knowing that one's actions are of their own free will) (defying orders)

The Extinction: The Salvation (changing the world in a way that preserves life) (conservation efforts, anti-discriminatory practices, etc.)

The listener is intrinsically marked by The Eye. We heard the horror and the fear and the terror and the panic and kept listening. We wanted more. We wanted to Know

Me, looking at my current interests (Conclave, The Magnus Archives, Heated Rivalry, and the RMS Carpathia): What the hell is the common theme here?????

I'm currently doing my first listenthrough of The Mangus Archives. I just finished S1E7: The Piper and my current theory as to why a WWII statement was with the 2010s is either

1. The previous Archivist was just that bad at her job

Or

2. The Archive is sentient and has a plan™️
