“Latin was held in Borden House, a small frame house on the other side of the Aglionby campus from Welch Hall, the main academic building.”

early school mornings outside the latin classroom.

When Sasha hosts her first D&D session, Michael isn’t invited, really, but it shows up regardless; clutching a character sheet and set of resin dice whose insides swirl around in a way that gives everyone a headache. Jon is ready to kick it out immediately, but Sasha vouches for it, and somehow they begin the game with it in their party.

None of them claim to know the Distortion, but they expected a chaotic character — a wild mage or barbarian, maybe. They don’t expect a lore bard, especially not a human one, and especially not one of such a kindly demeanor. It’s strange, watching Michael switch between voicing its character and describing its actions to Sasha, as though they’re actually playing with two distinct Spiral avatars instead of one.

As the campaign continues, they discover just how many little details it put into its character. He likes colorful tunics and warm scarves. He thinks lilies are pretty. He’s somehow “more of a doormat than Martin”, as Tim puts it. He was an acolyte before becoming an adventurer. Dungeons and Dragons is a game all about constructing elaborate lies wrapped around a grain of truth, after all.

And if Jon Knows something about this character, this strange creation that seems to fit Michael like a second skin, he chooses not to say.

getting PTSD flashbacks because of gravity falls is diabolical

realest thing i have seen in a while

I wish to befriend more of my moots hi guys

i just have to post these here bc i think about this DAILY

I have so many Thoughts and Opinions to pester my moots with (mostly about horror podcasts)

serious question: is elias bouchard just. allergic. to employing straight people. anytime he looks at his employees, he's like "ah yes, i know who we've got here. bi ace man who really shouldn't be in a managerial role, man who will fall in love with his boss who barely talks to him, a lovely young woman who probably isn't straight, a man who fucks with cops of all genders for information, an angry lesbian, an aromantic ex cop, and Daisy Tonner." peter lukas comes in like "have you considered employing some heterosexuals?" and elias just goes "nope"

please….. please everyone im losing my fucking shit

reblogs for reach are so so so appreciated i want this to get to as many people as possible im trying to gather data

reblog to thank ur mutuals for providing enrichment to ur enclosure

as a chronic oversharer i'm always ready to answer asks, but i'm particularly bored today so if anyone has any questions for me i'd be happy to answer random queries

ok heres one of my favorite tma headcanons i thought of:

so. jon uses some sort of cane or crutches after the prentiss attack because the worm bites messed up his nerves.

after he gets avatared, his strength is completely reliant on statements and stuff and thus doesn't need them as much (in the same vain where people make him not needing glasses any more because of the eye)

daisy is much weaker and also probably hard to treat since in my mind she got declared legally dead when she was missing after the unknowing (or she just doesn't want to go to the hospital, that works too) so jon gives her his crutches which she uses most of the time when not doing physical therapy

idk is this weird? idk i just think it's sweet

tmagp thoughts ep 1-10

finished protocol ten and i have thoughts to scream into the void (in no particular order)

GERRY MY BABY BOY HE'S BACK! i almost started crying when i heard his voice, i wonder how he met gertrude? she called him her grandson but is that biological by some weird timeline things in this universe? or did they just meet and become close

also celia. Interesting character to bring back. The most recurring of all of our returning friends. Mentioned knowing georgie so im hoping to hear from her potentially. also odd that she has her fake name that she gave her self when she couldnt remember the real one post stranger.

Specifically celia's "memories" are interesting to me as well. a few of her lines (some of which i might be over thinking) like her mentioning "wrestling with tape recorders and manilla folders" when comparing the system, then more obvious hints like asking about finding cases "about being buried alive" and "meat" (Smirkes 14 reference!!! wooo!!) Plus her recognizing chester's voice and asking about other dimensions. most compelling thing to me is that this series isn't the aftermath of tma, it's an entirely seperate universe, so that raises the question of why celia seems to be so connected.

I realize that my other thoughts have been very focused on connecting the two shows but here's a tmagp specific thought: COLIN i love him i dont need to explain myself im sure that something absolutely horrible is going to happen to him and he won't survive til the end of the series but stillll he's amazing. what does he know about the computers? is this regular paranoia or does he have other knowledge?

my knowledge before starting this series (due to me trying my best to avoid spoilers) was pretty much just: there's a guy called needles and he's been labelled by the fandom as twink, mr bonzo, melanie comes back at some point also with past events knowledge, and gerry makes a brief return.

i adore needles, beautiful boy, he just wanted cuddles :(

mr bonzo being this universe's mr blobby is so funny to me. Like "hey you remember that 90s tv show with mr blobby? well we've pretty much copied the entire story into our universe with only the tiniest changes exept also mr bonzo kills people :)"

Alice my precious girl :(((( she's using her humor as a defense mechanism :((((((((

I love Gwen's girlboss mentality. Like, you go girl! climb that corporate ladder! hire that hitman! good job! however her blackmail skills might need some work, as well as lena blatantly using her.

once again, only just finished ep 10 so this might change but has there been any actual hints of romance between gwen and alice or did we, as a fandom, just see two people being mean to eachother and the distant jmart portions of our brains went "romance???"

i love sam, dont get me wrong, but i feel his common sense might be a bit lacking. for some one who is asking a lot of questions, there seem to be some big questions he's missing. specifically about the massive ammounts of weird paperwork asking strangely personal questions that he's just filling out for fun? then sending in? without knowing for sure where they're going? just because he's pretty sure no one reads them anyways? tbf to him that does get into the whole "it's unfair to characters to assume their genre aware" thing.

other than that i love sam. interexted to see his ties to the institute

i feel that we probably havent seen that last of teddy. wether we see him back as a character or a corpse? that's what im worried about

currently the oair staff are ranked in my mind as 1. Colin 2. Celia 3. Alice 4. Sam 5. Gwen 6. Lena

sam humming while working never ceases to be adorable

Sam getting an email from someone named Jon (or spelled john in the transcripts but to be fair that's also how the archivists name was supposed to be spelled so point stands) with a random name and address?????????? xtfrxhdcgjvh expecially from an internal email which was also weird? plus colin acting... a bit suspicious about it

hilltop road mention!

"canaries should stay above ground" preumably a reference to sending canaries into cole mines to test for poisonous gasses, i think it's interesting how both tma and tmagp both start with animal imagery, the angler fish luring you in compared to the canary warning you away. also relating to the first episode: when listening i was wondering what others pictured. personally i pictured a pair of eyes, scooped from canary's skull but i was wondering if others pictured something differnt considering that the description was pretty vague

I made a patch that says "Ceaseless Watcher, I want that Twink Obliterated." I still haven't decided who this is referring to and was wondering if you had any recommendations? (Also if you dont feel comfy dubbing one of your characters a twink, I understand.)

Easy. Boneturner. Because he'd hate it.

So my book/passion project/delusional projection story is something that's based on my childhood imaginary world, and as a story concept has been evolving and changing since I started trying to write it at maybe 9 or 10. Which means that I get to go back and look at my old writing and find some real gems like these:

Colin has slept at work like this at LEAST once

It's simple, interns/assistants dying in TMA is horrifying and grief inducing, leaving an absence in the show that can be felt till the very last moment of the series finale because it didn't have to be like this, but of course it did. They were hired to die. Tim and Sasha and Michael were always going to die because it was their only purpose.

Interns/assistants dying in WTNV is one of their funniest long term bits.

These are both critiques of capitalist exploitation of the working class

raven cycleeee babeyyy

Intro to my blog

i've been meaning to make one of these for a while but i'm not entirely sure what to put so we'll see how this goes

Hi! This is my main blog, online I go by frogs or auggie. Pronouns are she/they.

I mostly post about writing(pretty evenly split between my original stories and fanfic) and random fandom thoughts, occasionally I might post some of my art.

current fandoms: The Magnus Archives, The Raven Cycle, Gravity Falls, DC, DND, Pokemon, TBHK, Cinderella Boy (webtoon), and Six of Crows, (literally always ready to talk about any of these)

About me/fun facts ig: I'm a minor, I play 4 different instruments, my favourite artist is Gustav Klimpt, my favourite animal is frogs (kind of obvious i suppose) but my favourite birds are ravens.

Going through a weird period where i'm constantly thinking about my characters, which theoretically is good. now i can go write my story! but unfortunately my characters did not get the memo so now i'm just gently steering them away from arson and back towards the plot while wondering why i cant go back to being obsessed with something normal. like british horror podcasts.

I wasn’t crazy about this piece so I wasn’t intending on publicly posting it again, but it keeps getting stolen every five minutes so I figured I’d put it here so people at least know who to attribute the original thing to lmao

reblog to give your headache to elon musk instead

"you tried to eat a stapler?" GOD FORBID I have an iron-rich snack

This is so pynch coded and it works both ways

If I had a nickel for every piece of media I’m into where there’s a canonically bisexual character named Tim I’d have two nickels… which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

I've been procrastinating starting the magnus protcol for the past week and a half mostly due to the fact that after 200 episodes of tma I have finally been freed from jonny's grasp, I touched grass for the first time in two months, I could finally look at doors without bursting into tears. Anyways just started tmagp episode one and started vibrating from joy, I apologize for my insolence, I shall go back to worshiping the scary british people in my ears like a good little soldier.

just a michael drawing I did for a friend. I might try and redraw it with the hands a bit bigger.
