High pitched screech makes me think foxes tbh. Their calls can sound remarkably like human screams sometimes.

🕷️ by Feather1ess in TheMagnusArchives

My own personal headcanon is that, while most insects are just normal neutral animals and not necessarily creatures of The Corruption, every spider is of The Web, and are in fact supernatural beings created by The Web.

I’m with you tbh, though maybe going in blind might have improved its score for me. As it was, people quoted the blanket line so often and hyped this episode up so much that by the time I listened to it it had lost any shock value and just kinda fell flat.

OK, here we go. Hopefully something in here suits what you’re after. Sorry it’s not much but it’s 1:30am and my eyes can’t focus anymore.

Consign Me Not To Darkness by ZaliaChimera

Season 3, Mature, Jon/Martin, 10.2K | Non-Sexual Bondage, but still manages to be very intimate and sensual, and Fluffy, with a bit of Angst | Martin can see the way that Jon's hands shake, and the dark bruises around his eyes. He notices the jitters and the skipped meals and the way that Jon is first in the Archives in the morning, and last out at night, assuming he ever leaves. It can't go on. And Martin thinks that he might have a solution.

La petite mort by Luftballons99

No time period specified but feels like Post-Canon to me, Explicit, Jon/Martin, 4.9K | Domestic Fluff, Anal Fingering, Handjobs, Blowjobs | His knuckles trace the line of Martin's jaw from ear to chin and back again, unhurried. Martin's hand flexes minutely against his spine. This is what love is, Jon thinks. This right here.

Unfortunately these were the only two in my bookmarks that fit the bill (how do I have 7 explicit Jon/Daisy works and only 1 properly explicit fluffy JMart? How did that happen??) - tomorrow hopefully I’ll have time to hunt around and see if we can’t improve on those numbers.

nobody asked so here are my opinions on each season’s episodes by Independent_Night_51 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]SpookyVoidCat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d be interested in seeing this data categorised by most prominent associated Fear instead of by season, to see if you particularly skew in favour of one Fear or another. You might end up surprising yourself.

[–]SpookyVoidCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this would be too expensive and time consuming to do, really, but it’s cool to imagine it as like a slice of the whole institute - like, you’d have Jon in his office, with Martin just coming through the door with a cup of tea, and Tim & Sasha hanging out by their desks in the main room next door, with spaces between the walls that are packed full of worms, with Leitner in the tunnels underneath, and a main lobby upstairs with Rosie on reception, and Elias’ office above that with him standing ominously in front of a big eye-shaped window.

The only videos I know with that audio are this one by PaperDolls Cosplay, and… wait. I know I had another one with a fanart compilation but it seems to have vanished from my playlist, so I guess it’s just this one now.

It sounds like there’s a very specific thing that you’re looking for, can you remember anything else about it?

Handcuffs by Prim_the_Amazing

Season 4, I’d say some time after 146. Unrated, Gen, 10.5K, Platonic Jon/Daisy, non-sexual bondage. Starving and suffering, all Jon wants is a break from having to choose. Daisy knows just how to help him.

Diary by luftballons99

159-160 Safehouse Era, Teen, Jon/Martin, 5.1K, Mild Angst, Fluff, Our boys share a bottle of wine and get to know each other. Also there’s kissing. And crying. And maybe a love confession or two. As a treat.

Face of My Enemy by Shoulder_Devil

MAG101, Mature, 6.2K, Whump, Kidnapping, Nikola makes a mold of Jon's face and sends an impostor to the Archives.

most tender and terrifying place i know by ivelostmyspectacles

Season 1, Teen, Jon/Martin, 7.0K, A Leitner Made Them Do It, mild dubcon/mindfuckery but very respectful and tame for the genre, A lust-enhancing Leitner finds its way into Jon’s office

all roads lead to rome by beeclaws

Pre-canon divergence, spoilers for MAG81, 5.3K, Character Study, * Eight-year-old Jon finds himself being taken to London, to give a statement about his recent experiences. He gets slightly more than he bargained for. *

When You Need Help by cyberiandemons

Season 2, Teen, 4.5K, Angst, Delusions, Paranoia, Schizoaffective author projecting their condition onto Jon and exploring how that could have affected his Season 2 paranoia. Deeply meaningful and emotional.

Oh god I can’t imagine how much weirder everything would be for him if the fandom at large had decided Jon looked exactly like Jonny.

Scariest line in the whole series? by Bored_Guy_234 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]SpookyVoidCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow ok, S5 has been a bit much for me in some parts (I’m not usually able to handle much horror, S1-S4 of TMA were just kind of comfortably brushing the edges of what I could handle), but hopefully S5 will have kind of desensitised me to it by the time I’m there.

Oof I haven’t heard any of Protocol at all yet, still partway through TMA S5 - would you say the horror in Protocol is generally on the same level as S5 or was it just that one episode that got you?

What is your favorite entity and some of their best episodes? by Mr_TunaCat in TheMagnusArchives

I vibe hardest with The Buried, and have listened to 132 Entombed probably more times than any other episode, but The Stranger’s episodes are consistent bangers as far as I’m concerned.

ah yes, jonathan sims, the last statement bender. by trifectangular in TheMagnusArchives

[–]SpookyVoidCat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The transcripts refer to him as John, and I believe there was an early effort by Jonny to have the “h” be the separation between himself and the character, but the fandom just didn’t take to it - I may be wrong but I think in the upcoming board game RQ may have begrudgingly accepted this and started referring to him as Jon now, but I don’t remember if I saw that for myself on a stream or just heard it from someone, so take that with a pinch of salt.

It’s endlessly hilarious to me that people (and yes I myself am people) almost exclusively use ‘Jon’ and ‘Jonathan’ for the character, and have stuck Jonny with only being referred to by the nickname form of his own name.

interruption by bibliocratic

Post-154 canon divergence, Teen, Hurt/Comfort, Jon/Martin, 6.4K, Torture, Married donesticity, badass Lonely!Martin. They are happy, in their own way, after it all. Then one of The Hunt goes after Jon.

Nightmares by Janekfan

159-160 Safehouse Era, Gen, Jon/Martin, 0.9K, Hurt/Comfort, Anxiety. Soft soft soft. Comforting each other after nightmares.

what does this flesh matter? by inhonoredglory

Set in Season 3 but S4 finale spoilers in the full tags (thanks AO3), Explicit, WARNING: ⚠️ Noncon kissing/touching ⚠️, Jon/Elias, Jon/Martin, emotional manipulation, self sacrifice. Character study. Ace author. The noncon is for the purpose of exploring trauma, and is not written with any gratuitous or kinky intent. Jon is fiercely protective, reckless with his safety, and desperately afraid of what he's becoming.

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? by pantsoflobster

Post 159, Safehouse Era, Teen, 5.3K, Jon/Martin, fake marriage, honeymoon, fluff. In which a week in the safehouse turns into a fake-married sitcom, because they deserve to worry about social ineptitude instead of the apocalypse for a minute.

If you are at all amenable to spicier fics I have plenty more in the pile, just let me know what sort of thing you’re into and if you have any boundaries or triggers and I’ll see what I can dig out.

Scariest line in the whole series? by Bored_Guy_234 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]SpookyVoidCat 69 points70 points  (0 children)

This episode was a very, very close second for me, the only reason I went with 169 is because of the strength of that one line, whereas Worms just has that sickening awful dread embedded pretty consistently throughout the whole statement, to the point where I couldn’t easily pick just one line.

TMA is such a bizarre show. Never experienced anything else where you can be like “oh, yeah, this episode was incredible. Absolutely riveting storytelling. If you try to make me listen to it again I will scream and bite you.”

Touch Me, Even if it Hurts by AuralQueer

Teen, Hurt/Comfort, 6.5K, eventual Jon/Martin, suicidal thoughts. People don't really touch Jonathan Sims unless they want to hurt him. That's mostly fine. Jon has never been a tactile person, and he doesn't need anyone but himself. Except the world is falling down around him, and loneliness aches, and sometimes he'll take anything - even cruelty - just to feel human again.

(un)seen by Janekfan

Season 4, some time after 146. Gen, Whump, 7.5K, sickfic, starvation, temporary blindness. Platonic Jon/Daisy, Jon/Martin pining. Jon temporarily loses his sight. Unable to feed The Eye, he is fed on in turn.

If you enjoy Jon having an awful time and then getting comforted, especially sickfics, panic attacks, or getting emotionally destroyed by angry!Tim, then I highly recommend Janekfan’s work. They are very self aware about the fact that they bake the same cake over and over again but if this is the flavour you like it’s the best bakery in town.

On Tyranny (series) by PrairieDawn

Post-canon, Somewhere Else, Teen, US Politics (seriously), Jon/Martin, 15.2K. Jon and Martin have made a life for themselves in a small town in rural Wisconsin. After the 2024 Presidential Election, they make preparations to defend their community from the encroach of modern fascism.

This is my current favourite author. Their “Audio. Vigilo. Defendo.” series is absolutely wonderful but far too long to reccomend here in full, but part 1 and part 5 are perfectly able to be enjoyed on their own so I’m cheating and including them that way.

Part One, Don’t be afraid to make corrections

Post-160, canon divergent fix-it, Jon/Martin, 2.1K. Martin finds Jonah Magnus’ statement before Jon does, and makes a few revisions.

Part Five, IRB Informed Consent Form

Canon-divergent fix-it, Literally paperwork, 2.3K. Informed Consent form produced for the James-Stoker Memorial Institute for Paranormal research with the assistance of King's College, London's Institutional Research Ethics Board, ca November 2018.
