I worked hard on this. Appreciate it.

Rusty Quill posted the following image on twitter:

In Bas64, this reads “Statement Remains”. And so, the tma fandom went insane. Then, a patreon post appeared with the text “rzo5PoNfALU”, leading to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzo5PoNfALU. Analyzing the spectrogram you get the following message:
[I.D: A spectrogram showing the code “evsmnuafdnbpvwgsdeir”. End I.D]
This code has been making everyone gone insane, but today there has been another message from the patreon:
[I.D. A grainy green text over black that reads “Go Back to the Start; YYYYMONTH”. End I.D]
So! By using Coded Caesar with the key 2016, MARCH (first episode) on the evsmnuafdnbpvwgsdeir message, we get…

I've been re-listening to some early tma and noticed some interesting lines from episode 2 with everybody's fave Joshua Gillespie.
everyone loves him because he just decided he was going to live with the coffin. improvise adapt overcome. wake up finding you're opening the spooky lock? freeze the key. he got so used to the big ole moaning coffin chilling in the living room that it didn't even freak him out anymore
(image ID: screenshot of the transcript of MAG 002: Do Not Open, reading as follows: I lived like that for almost a year and a half. It’s funny how fear can just become as routine as hunger – at a certain point I just accepted it. My first clue that my time keeping the coffin was coming to an end was when it began to rain and there was silence.)
but as I was chilling along with him, I realized that some of this seemed familiar. in fact, it rung a bell in my head connected to one of the episodes that is generally considered the scariest from tma. that's right - 086: Tucked In
(Image ID: screenshot of the transcript of MAG 086: Tucked In, reading as follows: Last night I woke up like before. I sensed it there, but as I raised the covers over my head, I realized that I wasn’t worried. Fear had given way to routine. I lay there, warm and protected, and simply waited to fall back to sleep. But this time, what I felt instead was a sudden weight pressing down on the end of my bed.)
Benjamin Hatendi handled the situation pretty similarly to Joshua Gillespie! He had a terrifying thing happening to him, slowly got used to it, and there is NO REASON that his circumstances worsened while Josh got off scot-free
and honestly, that just makes things scarier. tma has a big theme of arbitrary things happening that just screw someone right over, with no rhyme or reason to them. it's even just said out-right in 160!
(Image ID: screenshot of the transcript of MAG 160: The Eye Opens, reading as follows: It does tickle me, that in this world of would-be occult dynasties and ageless monsters, the Chosen One is simply that – someone I chose. It’s not in your blood, or your soul, or your destiny. It’s just in your own, rotten luck.)
of course, the web contradicts this imagery somewhat. there isn't a lot less random than "giant metaphysical spider puppeting around all the events to make things go according to plan". but that's only one out of 15 entities, so I think the idea holds
don't really have a meaningful conclusion to all of this, just a bunch of thoughts that I wanted to exorcise from my head.
you forget: manipulation is calculated, but being Victimized is random.
it was Luck that an 8 year old jonathan sims read a cursed book, it was Luck that carlos vittery tripped as a child and was haunted later in life, it was Luck that the children in hill top road were found by raymond fielding and born in that area in the first place, and it was Random that one of those boys was saved.
the fear of the web is the fear that you will lose control, that your life is not yours and that you Can’t make meaningful decisions. and that Defines the world of the magnus archives to a T.
The End is special because it is the first and last fear, the fear that births all other fears. The Web is special because it defines what it means to live in a world with The End, what it means when the choices you make will never give you control over Your end.
Finished my paper silhouette project for my 3D design class based on ex altiora from the magnus archives!

"It’s a delicate balance to teach a boy to be both brave enough and scared enough to live in the world at ten years old."
Old Gods of Appalachia, episode 13, "The Dark Earth at Night"
I've been fascinated by Nepthys Media, an analog horror series about a civilization of telepathic beings using planets as their bodies and having interpersonal drama. It's so good. I'm seriously considering making a fandom wiki about it because the lore is so interesting...
Favorite Nepthys Media quote so far

And now, for a Water Rating Special Feature:
The Lost Sea, Tennessee
About 20,000 years ago, a giant Pleistocene jaguar ventured into a small opening in the mountain foothills, but soon found that this cave was far bigger than it bargained for. It lost its way in the dark, winding passageways, wandering for several days before eventually falling to its death in a narrow crevice, leaving behind its bones and perfectly preserved paw prints for us to find thousands of years later.
This was the first, but not the only, record of those who ventured into Craighead Caverns. Pottery, weapons and jewelry from the Cherokee people have been found in rooms up to a mile from the entrance, dating back at least a thousand years. Later, the caverns were used as a refrigerator for storing food in the summer, as a mine, a mushroom farm, and even as a dance hall. All throughout its history, there were legends of a great underground lake somewhere inside the vast caves, but no one knew where.
This changed in 1905, when a 13-year old boy was exploring the cave. Three hundred feet below the surface, he crawled through a narrow tunnel, and found himself standing in an enormous, half-submerged chasm. It was so large, in fact, that his light illuminated nothing but water. He began to throw balls of mud in an attempt to find the walls of the cavern, but he only heard splashing in response.
We now know that this lake is about four and a half acres, making it the largest underground lake in North America and the second largest in the world. But that’s only on the surface.
Diving explorations have revealed that this lake is seemingly bottomless. Beneath the ethereal water lies a series of caverns so deep that no end has been found. Divers have mapped about 1,500 feet in depth in just one of the main passageways. One diver, descending into a previously unknown chamber with a sonar device, hugged the wall and took readings all around him. There was nothing but more water in every direction.
At present, there are no further plans to continue exploration, due to the hazardous conditions in the depths of the sea. It seems, then, that the true scope of this lake may forever remain a mystery. Perhaps it is best that we leave alone this strange, bottomless abyss far beneath the ancient Appalachian mountains, to remain as dark and unknown as it was when that jaguar took its first ill-fated steps inside.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess he's not doing well
You wanna hear a horrible fact about astronomy ? It's estimated that about 96,4% of extra-galactic objects we have ever observed (galaxies, clusters, etc) have already receded past the event horizon, meaning that the expansion of the universe pushed them so far away that the light they're currently emitting will never reach us.
Sure, we're able to see extra-galactic objects right now, and we'll be able to continue doing so for billions and billions of years, but what we're observing is just... images of objects far beyond our reach, forever. Not even their light - the fastest thing in the universe - will ever reach Earth.
An even worse thing is that, in the distant future, less and less extra-galactic objects will become visible. One day, the last extra-galactic object will recede past the event horizon, leaving our observable universe for good. Then, an observer living in our galaxy could look at the sky and see nothing but the Milky Way.

This creature was going to be in the Exhibition episode of Mandela Cataloge but it was cut from the episode due to progressively becoming less creepy the more the creator looked at it
Hmmm yeah good call Alex
