doodle 133/200; days left - 8/110 10/128

a certain someone (yes, im looking at u dora) was angy at me for not drawing Daisy in mag 132 so i'm making up for my sin

i tried to do the cool thing where the part closer to the "camera" is blurred but uuuh didnt really turn out that great bc the blurred space is way too small n concentrated in one corner. still...i'm adding it just as a reminder for my future self

MAG 101 (“Another Twist”):

MAG 98 (“Lights Out”):

SO MANY THREADS OF CONNECTION IN TMA I LOVE IT! But anyway here are my takeaways (pun fully intended) from this:

1. There was (is?) a group of Hunters focused on hunting Spiral creatures/finding the Great Twisting (fair enough I guess).

2. The polar expedition that Maxwell Rayner, Avatar of the DARK, was obsessed with? It was (is?) actually aligned with the Hunt (oops).

For 133: 'The Cave', by Paul Tran

Someone standing at the mouth had the idea to enter. To go further

than light or language could go. As they followed the idea, light and language followed

like two wolves—panting, hearing themselves panting. A shapeless scent in the damp air …

Keep going, the idea said.

Someone kept going. Deeper and deeper, they saw others had been there. Others had left

objects that couldn’t have found their way there alone. Ocher-stained shells. Bird bones. Grounded hematite. On the walls,

as if stepping into history, someone saw their purpose: cows. Bulls. Bison. Deer. Horses— some pregnant, some slaughtered.

The wild- life seemed wild and alive, moving

when someone moved, casting their shadows on the shadows stretching in every direction. Keep going,

the idea said again. Go …

Someone continued. They followed the idea so far inside that outside was another idea.

Delighted to find MAG 133 is about Percy Fawcett. I love it when they use real people, use real events and mysteries and then use the Fears or the Archives to explain them.

And the idea that lost explorers meet somehow in some other level of reality is very intriguing.

Oh good lord, Jon was in the coffin three days!

MAG 133 - DEAD HORSE

can’t wait!! let’s fucking go!!

let’s begin!

Statement of Percy Fawcett, regarding his hunt for the lost city of Z

People listed:

Jonathan Sims

Daisy Tonner

Percy Fawcett (statement giver)

Jack Fawcett

Raleigh Rimmell

Other notes:

very interesting title, what dead horse will we stop beating today?

daisy’s back!! daisyyyyyy im so happy to hear youuuu. so she’s in physical rehab? that’s good.

so this is a hunt statement, seems logical enough, and daisy is here to listen to it. jack has a little crush on raleigh which is clouding his judgement SEVERELY.

raleigh is a serpent man, sniffing the air with his tongue. and he’s ON the chase. for a city? maybe people were wrong and Z is actually a person or an animal (or an entity).

okay the name “john franklin” was familiar to me (in a TMA sense, not just an actual-historical-figure sense). in MAG 98 lights out, it was winning the bid for franklin’s oilskin what made the statement giver go blind.

i dont really know what to comment on statements like this one. some are so enrapturing i forget to even write down after the statement is over, and others are so... normal within the expected parameters that i just dont know how to fill the space other than listening. i guess that is fine too.

OH. more historical people, and sannikova is mentioned! that is where the spiral ritual was. vampires in the amazon jungle, trust me i’ve been there and they are real.

they are just chasing and chasing without a concrete prey or object to find. just for the thrill of it. rip jack.

ok jon what a tactless way to ask for someone’s opinion. so he’s investigating more rituals (smart), because if there are others that gertrude managed to stop they wont be around for a couple hundred years, and if there are any that she didn’t... well he needs to find out NOW.

so the hunt’s ritual is the everchase. that sounds fucking exhausting. and it’s meant to never be complete i guess. in a world where everyone is hunting all the time, what would the prey even be? weird.

hi basira! she is pretty skeptic, which i would understand given all they’ve been through. i know basira needs someone strong to rely on finally instead of being the only pillar supporting everyone together, but daisy Cannot be that person at the moment.

gertrude was incredibly competent, we can all agree on that. but everybody needs support systems. someone please go support martin

i love the banter between these two, even when they are tense they can find a way to riff. basira is truly a gem.
