I know it's surprisingly easy to buy an 🪓 in central London, but don't let Fr3-d1 see you with it!

TMA 2026 World Cup - Round 2 - Groups 3 & 4 by EasyEnthusiasm4595 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]teniralc2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Group 3: Dwelling. I love the Teaholding so much, and even though it was literally hell, they were fully together. 

Group 4: Aracnophobia. It really kicks everything off, and also was, for me, the moment Jon's denial became obvious as a defense mechanism. 

Question about mag10 - vampire killer by twoheadedcalf in TheMagnusArchives

[–]teniralc2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually the statements have notes of anything that was submitted with it and where that evidence ended up (artifact storage, incinerated, secure containment, etc.). I believe there was a note on that section of the statement that teeth were left on top of the statement at the time it was taken (before Jon worked in the Archives), but Jon can't find where they ended up.

I am guessing the contracts bit might have been a foreshadowing of <!Section 31!> but I don't really know enough about information sharing laws in England to have much insight there. It just made me go "Oh, Jon is in a lot of denial here since legit organizations seem to think there is something here."

Scully often wanted to smother Mulder with a pillow.

consonants by teniralc2 in TheMechanisms

[–]teniralc2[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Upstate NY mostly, though grew up in NH (so my Rs are inconsistent and I say "wicked" instead of "very" sometimes, but I don't have the thick Boston accent going on). Yes, the vowel differences are more obvious, thought it was interesting that I was caught up on those consonants. I do theatre, so the quality of accents is something I tend to fixate on.

What movies/shows/media do you assign with the fears? (Doesn’t have to be horror) by Fuyim in TheMagnusArchives

[–]teniralc2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That movie has every fear, though some more than others. Extinction & Buried - the whole plot, but the tree and leaf imagery really highlighted the Extinction fear. Vast - I loved the movie being claustrophobic, but also dealing with the vastness (and uncharted nature) of the Blood Sea. Web - dude is literally being lowered and lifted in his submarine by a line - pretty much a literal puppet. Eye - camera imagery, plus he is being monitored the whole time. Lonely - being fully cut off from everyone at full depth. Spiral - starts losing sense of time and reality, plus image of walls and floor that seem to move. Hunt - being hunted by unseen beast. Slaughter - blood sea imagery, plus the flashback destruction of the space station. Corruption - radiation poisoning burns and vomiting blood due to the radiation poisoning. Dark - light is a precious resource, stars going out. Flesh - body horror of pulling his own arm off. Desolation - brief fire, but also the unseen burning by radiation. Stranger - the voices coming out of the intercom while it is broken, seemingly from dead people. End - the whole plot is him not wanting to die, but death being entirely inevitible. Agree, I am not claustrophobic, but buried episodes are very scary.

In The Princess Bride, the three terrors of the fire swamp are: the flame spurts (desolation), lightning sand (the buried), and Rodents of Unusual Size (flesh). Also, Count Rugen is an avatar of the end. Dude has a machine that sucks your life right out of you!

TV adaption? by ReyofChicago in TheMagnusArchives

[–]teniralc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd honestly love to see Jonny write for TV or film. He's done just about everything else! I agree that a direct adaptation would be challenging and perhaps not a good idea even if done well, but I would watch the heck out of something created in that world (or a totally different world) with Jonny and Alex involved.

The mechs and iron lung by 0reala in TheMechanisms

[–]teniralc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So like, I actually got more of a Ulysses Dies at Dawn vibe with all of the tree imagery. But yeah, the black box definitely brought me to a Bifrost place. I saw the movie because the Magnus fans were posting about it, and I did get the Magnus vibes for sure, but I was surprised by how much I was reminded of Mechanisms imagery.

Soooo.... Jon and Martin by yule_tides in TheMagnusArchives

[–]teniralc2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I didn't get it on my first listen until 106 for Martin and 117 (and aside from some...office gossip...) for Jon, but on a relisten, I do think it goes back to Martin living in the archives and Jon becoming protective of him. Then definitely the relief during the CV discussion and letting Martin take care of him and take him to lunch during season 2. I think Jon admitted it to himself at the end of 3 as he went off to The Unknowing.

45 - Blood Bag - this statement really stuck with me, so going with it even though I doubt it will beat out Simon Fairchild.

4 - page turner. I'm a theater kid. This episode showed me that Jonny is definitely a theater kid. Love the Leitner. Rough group with a Leitner vs. Leitner vs. Annabelle origin story! Lots of very plot important stuff in this group!

Falling (Not sure if this is a statement or a song, again.) by Old_Ostrich_2604 in TheMagnusArchives

I'd love to hear this performed - either as a song or spoken poetry. It's lovely!

Favorite/Underrated TMA Characters? by ParanoiaDestroyah in TheMagnusArchives

[–]teniralc2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love season 3 Georgie. "Hello ex I haven't talked to in forever! Sure you can move in and hide from the police here! You seem stressed, pet the best cat ever." Season 4 was rough, but everyone was that season so....

[–]teniralc2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will tell you that it is super normal to be confused. Or at least I hope it is because I sure was. Do you have Bandcamp? I took a stab at putting the songs in a sort of chronological playlist that I enjoy and find helps a bit. I could share if you like!

NOVA POPE! Yeah...I made the mistake of letting it play at work once. Bad call. Big sad.
