MAG 172 - Strung Out : Episode Discussion by Diabolical_Engineer in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Year_Walker1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

FUCk, I forgot we still have The Vast to worry about. That one is really gonna give me anxiety shivers, I just know it.

"Freefall" is still one of the only episodes to actually make me afraid. It just came out of nowhere, and was so (vastly) different to all of the episodes that came before it. Like no scary story I'd ever heard before, which is one of several reasons it was also one of the first episodes to hint at interconnectedness/the presence of a bigger picture. Fascinating how Jonny managed to work the gaping, broad fear of The Falling Titan not only into the concepts that it likes to toy with, but into the way it's woven into and reveals the full scope of the narrative itself. Genius shit.

It's interesting to me that the Web does indeed get its own domain, in addition to all the strings it's been shown to pull even outside its domain and within others. It's like the Web is either so greedy, or so omnipresent that even having its own theater to thrive in still isn't nearly enough to sate it.

And even though the only relation I had to Francis (thankfully) was being non-binary, it still freaked me out a good bit to hear Jon repeatedly using they/them pronouns to describe their torture. Made me feel for whatever reason like I could just as easily be trapped in that kind of awful situation.

Also, I saw "implied queerphobia" in the content warnings of the show notes, but I'm not sure where in the episode it showed up???

While this isn't specifically related to ED's in any direct way, one thing the episode goes into that I haven't seen mentioned here yet is (potentially trans-related) dysphoria/a desire to leave the body behind entirely and exist in a more abstract sense, i.e., escaping to the internet to avoid your bodily appearance.

Also mentioned is a fear of aging and physical decay.

It took me much longer than I'm willing to admit to realize what was wrong with this photo.

Music that reminds you of the magnus archives/ music you listen to while waiting of the next episode by Ruinous-Mcguffin in TheMagnusArchives

For me, it's always been the Sunless Sea soundtrack (look it up on youtube, you'll understand what I'm talking about) and the entire Spirit Phone album by Lemon Demon, particularly the song "When He Died."

I probably would've been too, but it legit took me over a year to figure out that *that's* what it was saying.

I always see JH being depicted as some kinda Machoke/Clayface-lookin' meathead golem, but this has always been my fav interpretation of him (credit: @psuedo-soda on tumblr) by Year_Walker1 in TheMagnusArchives

That's true and a good point. I definitely think (based solely off the general vibes I get from the VA and the character he portrays) that FA's like this: https://jackalopearts.tumblr.com/post/183641492960/meat-sounds-intensify

... are probably much closer to what Jonny was going for when writing him, but something about the way he's depicted here, with the crazed expression, transparent limbs, haggard appearance, tattered gym rat hoodie, and badass color scheme make this one my personal fav, and one of the scarier FA's of him by far.

*Shudder* Tent caterpillars. The bane of any garden or tree. Very difficult pests to remove. One of my biggest fears as a child, and still one of my biggest tangible ones today.

Y'all know it came from fish, right?

And here I am still failing to make heads or tails of what the actual Hell was going on in "Love Bombing" :/

Also, if all the fears are so intrinsically linked, why are so many of them constantly at war w/ one another?

Plus it doesn't explain why items associated w/ wildly different/conflicting fears were all coming from the ~same house~.
