*Laurel is currently in his office—Which is currently a mess, ridden with files lined wall to wall, and his desk covered in papers.*
*He’s slouched over his chair, fumbling for the tape recorder before clicking play.*
Okay! Uhm.. Statement file 007…1803. Given by a "Jack Barnabas", regarding.. His relationship with a woman named Agnes Montague in autumn of 2006–Committed to tape on May 19th, 2017, original statement given March 18th, 2007.
** TIMESKIP TO AFTER READING THE STATEMENT BELOW THE CUT!
Statement.. Ends. I-.. That.. This is.. The same woman from the previous recorded statements. The ones that Jonathan recorded. Maybe it’s nothing.. Probably nothing.
Notes.. Uh… Nothing to add, Simon couldn’t find anything on Agnes, nothing recent at least.
*Laurel shakes his head, and attempts to shut off the tape recorder, but doesn’t notice when it fails to stop.*
*He’s gathering up the statements and tapes on his desk, setting them aside into a nearby basket with a heavy thump, running his hands through his hair.*
First week on the job and I’ve already gotten my ribs taken for information.. By some freaky man with extra limbs and teeth.
Come on, Laurel! God knows what he’s going to even do with them anyways—?
*He huffs, falling into his chair further as he attempts to make sense of the week he’s had.. Which doesn’t serve him much.*
I can’t tell if I’m projecting and/or getting the costumes wrong, but I think you made Sasha dr. Frankenstein and not!Sasha Frankenstein’s monster. And if so, oh! Fantastic costumes, makes me hate the not!Sasha even more, and of course people would get those costumes mixed up. I think they’re all fantastic. And the implication that the not!them just can look stitched together if it wants to is great and I love it so much it may superimpose itself over my image of them
Yeah, you got it, that was their (and my) intention. I'm glad you liked it.
Your tags, tho. I'm having gentle feelings for them.
I love thinking about the Corruption, especially in relation to Martin and it being him that Jane targets. And yeah, sure, he was there in Vittery's basement and Tim and Sasha weren't, but he’s also a person who, as Elias meanly points out like a big meanie, often shows great devotion and loyalty to people who don't really deserve it (sorry Jon, you'll get there, but at this point you're still a jerk).
When the people who are supposed to love you unconditionally (ie your parents) not only put conditions on that love but ones you're never going to meet no matter how hard you try, it's gotta warp your idea of what love even is. Can't really earn someone's love if they already hate you for something vastly out of your control.
Obviously The Lonely comes along and Martin chooses isolation, but there has to have been a point when he was alone in his flat for two weeks, assuming that no one had noticed he was missing or if they had they didn't care enough to check on him, where he heard The Corruptions song and thought it was for him, thought it sounded beautiful and thought it would be better to be loved by something horrific and poisonous than be loved by no one at all.
do you remember the fearpocalyspe? do you want to vent about the domain you were trapped in? Complain about the awful circus music? Rant about how stupid the vast domain is? vauge-blog about your boss who was with you in the worm tunnels and does NOT know what personal space means? Discuss whether or not avatars should have rights? Share tma memes? Show me your cool avatarsona? Overall have fun with the Magnus Archives universe? COOL! Me too!
Do you have an Instagram where you post your TMA art? I just found your blog and I’m completely obsessed, your stuffs incredible!!!
🥺🥺🥺 aww, thank you so so much!!!!!
I do have an insta but it's not very TMA focused x'D Like, I will post TMA art if I do make any, but I am not sure when that's going to happen next. Currently it's mostly landscapes and other types of comfort art.
I did collect the arts I made on my tma side tumblr ( here ) but please only look if you've finished the podcast, the uppermost one is s5 spoilers all the way through :)
I am so glad you like my tma arts so much though, thank you for this kind ask ;-; <3333 made my day <3
