#mag 6

Episode six, the Worm Sex Statement. A certified classic. The first statement that regards the corruption, a fear that I have never felt particularly drawn to. It's a testament to Jonny's writing that he got me, someone who is way more interested in the more existential fears (End, Web, Eye, etc.) to find Jane Prentiss such a cool character.

It occurred to me today that the Magnus Archives is only 200 episodes long, which means that MAG 6 (the worm sex episode) and MAG 102 (the beetle wife episode) make the series fully 1% bug sex episodes by volume.

"oh but the people were consumed by worms!" If I was a worm and I was living in a human woman's skin and said woman had sex with someone, I'd also consume her and the other person as well, bestie I did not agree to this

listening to my first actual run-through of tma i am full of spoilers

i just finished MAG 12 i might make this a reblog chain on my side account just with my reactions and guesses for horror(s) are represented after each episode so here are my thoughts so far

MAG 1 - strong start, definitely tells me what kinda ride i’m in for. absolutely adore the little michael The Door foreshadowing at the end. i originally thought this was a stranger one, but it’s probably a spiral the more i think about it.

MAG 2 - the second i heard the word “money,” i immediately went “buried” and wouldn’t you know it, i was right.

MAG 3 - graham got stranger-ed guess he’s not!graham now. i get beholder/eye vibes from the story itself, though, like she had to know what was happening to him.

MAG 4 - VAST VAST VAST first indications of mike!! and gerry is there too, i guess, hi gerry.

MAG 5 - lots of things but honestly?? eye. the teeth freaked me out, though.

MAG 6 - no comment, just grossed out, corruption is terrifying to me.

MAG 7 - ok, this one seems like something i’d write. it’s so cool, i love it so much, the piper is such a vibe, it’s gonna be so hard to draw, definitely end or slaughter.

MAG 8 - classic desolation episode, more ghosts and fire please.

MAG 9 - original thought was slaughter, but now i’m thinking dark. love that robert’s just a dad trying to look out for this daughter, even though he’s a mass murderer, more of this dynamic in media.

MAG 10 - vampires read as hunt to me, loved the description of the tongue being more like a leeches than a humans, really sets the vibe.

MAG 11 - prophetic dreams are so fun, i don’t care how overused they are. originally thought eye or desolation, but it was revealed to me that this is an end episode. thanks google, i just wanted a reference for the veins, i didn’t need the fandom wiki for oliver banks.

MAG 12 - desolationnnnn liminal hospital setting is such a good place for a desolation episode, also gerry’s here i guess. hi gerry, thanks for letting me know that your eye tattoos are not just a collective fandom thing, you’re gonna make practicing anatomy a lot harder.
