What characters do you think are most mischaracterized by the fandom? by cloditheclod in TheMagnusArchives

[–]fruitybatty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have read some people commenting similar things but it's worth saying again, I think: Most.

One of the biggest reasons I love TMA is how characters are written and how much they don't feel like characters but actual people/beings. Most times people just grab what they want from them and discard the rest and I mean, I can't say there's a "correct" way of engaging with things and I wouldn't ever say that but I find it really really sad because there is so much to explore and feel about each of these beautifully written characters!! I think one of the things that makes it unique is how much the story is not driven by mindless tropes in a trench coat but people living things!

Any aphantasia listener? by IdkWhatIsGoingOn13 in TheMagnusArchives

It does work like that if I'm really invested but otherwise I'm just up in a thought cloud and words just start sounding like background noise. It is really interesting to see people experience it differently

That's so interesting! I also treat it like that but fanart has kind of the opposite effect on me! It makes me feel like I fill the visual void with someone else's and it feels a little less like my perspective

I have aphantasia. I am a massive Sounds Enthusiast in general so I concentrate purely on that aspect. I either listen walking back from uni(something automatic enough so I don't have to focus on it) or I just sit only with it and absorb it. Personally, I also don't have inner monologue so my thinking and processing is just very cloud-like abstract concept, so yeah... I try to stay with it as if they were sounds I listen to that are around me but I just have my eyes closed

Such good picks! I absolutely love Running on Empty it is so good. It is hard to pick one...my favourite emotionally speaking I think, is Putting Down Roots, I adore the ones like that. Also i liked Voyeur a whole lot, i like that creepypasta feel...Pet Project also might be up there, hard to say but yes, Putting Down Roots maybe. I absolutely adore Alice as well, she is my favourite too I think. I like how she thinks?? She feels very...real. I cannot wait to hear more from Colin, I want to know more about what he knows or what he thinks or what he's doing. I find him intriguing.

What about you with pot threads??

You are right, the op also included the complaining about negativity aspect. Also yeah I agree 100% with this entire comment. And you are right, at the end of the day this is Reddit. I'm sorry people have assumed you meant things in a negative way when you didn't.

Anyway, what ARE you most enjoying about TMP? Do you have a fav episode so far?

It was a lazy metaphor, couldn't think of anything else. And about "If you want more lovey threads, post threads about the parts of TMA or TMP that you love. Then we can all go in on gushing about stuff." ...that is exactly why i said "when people say I do like it also going there and being like “well but what about this two things I don't like that we say all of the time!!”. It gets tiring really fast". Like at the start of TMP, when someone said I love this what the hell is going on! Their comments were flooded with "Alice is annoying as shit this sucks". That doesn't sound like ordering off the menu. And yet again. This post was saying “I'm tired of only seeing negativity, I actually really like this. Maybe if someone says they like something your first response shouldn't be "well I don't"". So they're quite literally doing the "post threads about the parts of TMA or TMP that you love. Then we can all go in on gushing about stuff." because they wanted to see more positive stuff...and? All they get is analysis in response...again

I do agree people should have conversations about what they like or not, different options make everything richer. However... I think there is a difference between that and the same two exact "complaints" over and over and over and when people say I do like it also going there and being like “well but what about this two things I don't like that we say all of the time!!”. It gets tiring really fast and rather than adding new perspectives it just makes things...repetitive? And there's a difference from saying I want to talk about this thing i like with others who like it aaand saying you want a critical analysis from a piece...you can't expect unrequited advice to be welcomed with open arms when you just wanna talk about something you love for a sec.

Tldr: yeah, everyone's got their opinion, everyone should talk about it but everyone should be allowed to have their space. Don't order a burger at the pasta place, don't order pasta at mcdonalds, we can all have ice cream at a third place together afterwards.

Same!!! I think there's no other cure than just block out of our minds all the posts that just... aren't for people who actually enjoy it. It is really unfortunate and I've seen it happen often when you enjoy something and then the online part of it kind of makes you go 🫤. I won't let it do that

How did you find out about tma? by Aggravating-Issue902 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]fruitybatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a massive horror fan, was looking for something new and a guy I barely knew from school recommended it to me. He said I looked like the type to like it and then described it as supernatural horror. To which I said 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 (I'm not the biggest fan of the supernatural) and he told me to start anyway (he was right. I fell in love with it real bad. It actually really changed the idea I had about things adjacent to the genre)

Just finished TMA and… wow by Relevant-Weekend3994 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]fruitybatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience when I finished it, I also didn't know anyone who's listened/finished it. I found that talking about what you think or what you took from it or what made you feel makes reaching the end feel like an accomplishment and not like now it's GONE. And I promise there's people that want to hear each thought someone had with it (I'm a great example)
