“… Tell me about the two Sashas.”

so I understand the timsasha shippers now

#didn’t think a good doomed straight story was still possible in this day and age #But here we are #tma #host with the most listening to fucked up eye show #the magnus archives #tma s3 #tma 86 #btw I love Melanie king and you can take her and her ambiguous skills in Ghosting away from me when I’m dead #timsasha #sasha james #notsasha #tim stoker #tma spoilers

I love the way that Melanie’s voice slowly sounds more and more disturbed as her first recording goes on, as she discovers how truly terrifying this job could be, and how maybe it’s not as ‘peaceful’ as it seems then when she dismisses it as probably nonsense, just like season 1 Jon…

Archivists. always dismissing the statements as fake. Silly Jon. Silly Melanie.

Made the grave mistake of listening to TMA 86 while falling asleep and it became part of my dream NOPE NOPE FUCK THAT NOPE

#the magnus archives #tma #melanie king #tma 86 #tucked in #sleep paralysis

why I think MAG 86 (Tucked in) is a top tier episode (spoilers ahead) :

1- Tim is soooo pissed off about having to make a recording (my angry little BABY)

2- Melanie's sweet voice

3- When I was little, I was really afraid of the dark (until like, the end of middle school), and one of the ways I dealt with it was to put my head under the covers, so UH...

4- "the blanket never did anything" GOOSEBUMPS

5- Melanie really doesn't knowing what to do in the post-statement and liking boys with muscles ™️ (I love that she has the same posture as s1 Jon, like really really doubtful)

6 - Melanie being Jon's inside woman!!!!! Oh my god!!!!!

Mike Crew, determined to not be another victim became exactly that. He searched for power in many corners of the universe through several sources but was ultimately powerless. It’s not an uncommon theme in the Magnus Archives, but it is a shame we never got to see this character again. At least I think so, cause I never really knew why “The Coming Storm” or Mike in general felt like afterthoughts in my head for the longest time? I’d latched onto characters that appeared far less. On relisten I realized it was probably because he dies in the same episode he’s truly introduced.

Mike would’ve been an interesting candidate for Jon’s position, as his search for power is very similar to Jon’s own search for knowledge in Season 3 (definitely an intentional parallel). I wonder if Mike had managed to stay alive until Season 4 could he have successfully pulled off a master ritual? It did seem like he was content to stop once he found the Vast though, he doesn’t talk much about the other powers he never found, at least not directly. There are plenty of moments in his story that could lean into other entities if his own fear pulled them that way. The DARK upside down forest, him being HUNTED by the Lichtenberg figure all his life, even the lightning scar he’s most recognized for could’ve easily been a desolation mark if it was the burning and the fire that really got to him, or the loss of his parents in that house because the Desolation is not just fire!! It is losing, the destruction of things you love. Which in its own funny way can tie into the Lonely etc.

The more you think about it the more the lines between these entities are very blurred and which one takes center stage for any given event is entirely subjective to the audience. Sure, monsters and servants can have some sway, but you don’t really see anyone trying to “get” someone that isn’t already skewed toward that entity in the first place, whether through their own personal fear (like Paul MacKenzie from A Sturdy Lock, or Benjamin Hadid from Tucked In), or just the nature of their life putting them adjacent to it (like Karolina Gorka from Underground, Jordan Kennedy from Pest Control, or Rosa Meyer from Observer Effect). The second one is always more of a challenge so the end result may vary.
