Episode fifty seven, Personal Space. This poor guy 😭 got the Fairchilds, the Lukases, and the Darkners all on his tail
Little something I made to test out the new procreate brushes
Inspired by my favorite episode ever from tma (ep. 57)
THE LONELY
Forgot to share but here is my artwork for the tarot card Collab hosted by @mintybagels (Ty for hosting!!)
Project Hail Mary AU where Grace ends up in specifically MAG 57 because he should suffer more
MAG 62 “First Edition” review:
What the fuck is happening!!!!!! First MAG 61 and the fucking continuation of MAG 002, now we don’t only get a Gertrude tape but also it’s with fucking Mary Keay? Which means it’s connected to Jurgen Fucking Leitner. I don’t know what’s worse, her general creep factor of the fact that she confirmed that Leitner is boring.
And also the Keay family used to be a part of the Magnus Institute? To tell you the truth, I’ve always felt like all these statements were old. I keep forgetting that those like this one were recorded in modern years like 2008. It feels strange to think that all this stuff is so close together. Well, except for the Alexandria and the Cannibal one. But I’m getting off track.
I think because Keay wasn’t spooked 8 wasn’t spooked either. Doctors killing yoy is not a great thing, but not entirely unheard of. One of the greatest serial killers was a British doctor if i remember correctly. I’m just so curious as to what they do with the bodies. The original owner of the book in this one was using it for extortion, but that lady seemed to be actually dead.
Also what really was the book in the first place? I feel like I missed that bit. She did some wavy hand things an spoke aloud, she injected something into a lady who died, and she made a previous patient give her money or something to that effect. Nothing much interesting in the end.
And what’s this about the Keay family being gifted with the touch of the supernatural? From the sounds of it, they had something even before Keay did some shit with the Leitner books. All correct me if I’m wrong but she is the of lady in tattoos from MAG 4, right?
Actually, give me a second, I mgoing to look through the episodes and list all the statements I think are connneted to either the Keays or to Leitner.
MAG 4, MAG 17, MAG 23, MAG 35, MAG 46, MAG 49, possibly MAG 57, and now MAG 62. Some of these are a stretch, but I’m somewhat certain.(EDIT: I’m looking through my old reviews. Gerard Keay is mention in MAG 48!)(EDIT EDIT: all MAG 41 lol)
More often than not these tapes focused on the grandson, not Mary. Can’t remember his name these days. Well, either her grandson, or the man who ran off with the Bone Turner’s Tale. There’s still a lot about all of these people I can’t remember immediately, and likely to be a lot more in the future.
I’m giving this episode a 7 homicides out of 10 false ambulances. Would commit medical malpractice again.
Statement ends.
TMA What We Know -[57]- Personal Space
pre-statement:
[none]
--STATEMENT--
-astronaut in an isolation experiment already used the word 'forsaken'. so we know where this is going.
-Manuela Dominguez mention, maybe we don't know where this is going?
-guy in charge is Conrad Lukas, Lukas doesn't like that our guy isn't going to space entirely alone. this guy's gonna get some Dark Lonely and Vast. rip Carter Chilcott, you're clearly dealing with more Horrors than the average person
^on that note where's my Carter Chilcott Archivist AU,,, guy's overqualified for the job
-ALSO emphasis on the camera that's always watching him??? GUY. you've got 4/14. go apply at The Magnus Institute and take over Jon's job.
-AND hallucinations?? is that the spiral I see before me,,,, 5/14.
-empty space suit is haunting him
-now the earth is gone
-sun's gone too
-and moon
-stars are still here though :D
-camera was never turned on. never wired properly either. (back to 4/14)
-shoutout to this guy on reddit who solved what the door's passcode means:
-every time he tries to type in the passcode, it reads "No One Is Coming"
-he's been stuck there for months. and yet he has infinite food and water to keep him alive.
-guy starved himself and successfully got out of the Ultra Spooky Triple Haunting
-Conrad Lukas made no attempt to contact him but paid him for his work
post-statement:
-Martin confirmed the staff list for that spaceship
-Tim found that the Fairchilds own one of the major companies backing this project. and Nathaniel Lukas invested in it. Third investor is the research cameras company in Ny-Ålesund. dark & eye collaboratoin,,,fascinating,,,
-obligatory mention that this is at least the 3rd time the Fairchilds took something someone was really passionate about and turned it into Horror.
SUPPLEMENTAL: -notSasha's here!! because Jon's going through her desk -notSasha doesn't like that Jon records their conversations -Jon thinks notSasha's desk looks normal, except for some torn up papers -notSasha's boyfriend looks like a stock photo
Random Thoughts About the Magnus Archives
I feel like something's being said about your personality depending on which avatars you like and which ones you want to drop dead, I just don't know what. Like, anytime Peter showed up, I'd be like "You're a bitch ass, go away." But anytime distortion Michael made an appearance, I'd be like "That's my baby boy!" And there are a few that are kind of in between. Like with Nikola, I was like "You freak me the fuck out, but you're funny, so I guess that evens it out."
I think it's so interesting how despite a lot of the characters not getting any physical descriptions, a lot of artists in the fandom draw them the same way. Like, Melanie almost always has colorful hair, usually blue. Jon's hair gets longer with every season. Helen is almost always wearing purple. I just wonder how everyone unanimously agreed on some of this stuff.
I thought the Leitner rant was a canon thing, so I avoided anything about it 'cause I wanted to be surprised. I think near the end of the series though I finally looked it up and I was like "What!? This was a fan thing?" Totally hilarious though, I kind of felt the same way about Leitner.
The inside jokes are fucking hilarious, like the "homophobic vase." Or we have classics like "I just listened to the episode where the guy has sex with a bug." "Oh, which one?" and "Peter and Elias are definitely divorced."
Seeing what episodes scared people and which ones had people going "Actually, that sounds kind of nice" was very interesting. Like, episode 57 where the guy was stuck all alone in space? Emotionally destroyed me. But then others would be like "Yo, being able to be all alone in space with no one to bother me? Sign me up."
Also interesting to see which Fears scared people the most and which ones they think they would end up serving. I think the Buried scared me the most. Episodes 15, 132, and 195 freaking terrified me. I'd probably end up serving the Lonely, I remember thinking "Oh, that's me," with a lot of episodes, particularly episodes 159, 170, 186. It was a weird combination of "I'm in this statement and I don't like it" and "I actually feel seen." Like a weird mix of being called out and also kind of validated because I felt like my thoughts and feelings were finally being put into words and that meant somebody else had gone through the same thing.
What were some popular fan theories that ended up not coming true? I think I saw somewhere that a lot of people were theorizing that Martin would join the Web before he ended up serving the Lonely instead. People often say Gravity Falls fans grew up to be Magnus Archives fans and I remember Gravity Falls fans going crazy with some of the theories. And even if some of them ended up not happening, they're still really interesting.
I love how a lot of the characters do shitty things, but you completely understand why. Like, Melanie's wrong for blaming Jon for a lot of things that go wrong, but you understand that she feels trapped like an animal in a cage, so she's just lashing out. Or Tim is kind of an asshole in season 3, but you understand because he went through a lot of the same trauma that Jon did, he's just reacting with anger instead of paranoia.
I've been watching a lot of fan animations for this show and a lot of the comments are like "I checked out the Magnus Archives because of this video!" And the same thing happened to me too. Did you guys see any fan animations that made you decide to give this show a go?
When people draw Jon with long hair, they draw him like he’s the prettiest man alive and I love it. That or ends up looking like Jesus or Bruno Madrigal
I see every day things like a spiral shaped object or a spider and I jokingly think “Is that a Magnus Archives reference?” Or I’ll be listening to a song and think “Hmm, that could go in a Lonely playlist” or “Ooo, that so fits with the Vast.”
