The Magnus Archives Continues To Be A Romantic Comedy.

GUYS, GUYS, THIS!

after weeks of work its finally done!

A DISTORTIONS TRIAL

Undeniable multiple-divorce energy. My favorite dynamic.

What do you mean Shanks didn’t recognize Ace when he came seeking him out to thank him for saving his little brother? What do you mean he wasn’t holding back tears as they shared drinks and stories about their favorite rubber boy? What do you mean he didn’t cry buckets when Ace left and had to be consoled by Benn and Yassop and Roux?

What do you mean Crocus didn’t take one look at this youndgster and nearly had a heart attack? Whta do you mean he didn’t remember that feisty woman’s last name and her freckles? What do you mean he didn’t call Rayleigh with a desperate, hopeful voice asking what was Rouge’s last name?

What do you mean Buggy didn’t see his captain’s eyes and grin on Ace’s face when he crashed their party in his ship? What fo you mean Buggy didn’t call Shanks to ask him who the fuck this kid was and why the fuck does he have Roger’s hair and eyes and Ms. Rouge’s freckles and smile? What do you mean he didn’t go batshit crazy internally when he heard Luffy say that Portgas D. Ace was his captain’s biological son, and that he was going to be killed for his goddamn blood?

What do you mean Rayleigh didn’t want to go and save Ace when the Visual Transponder Snails broadcasted the execution? What do you mean Shakky had to place a hand on his shoulder to stop him—from what? The Government? The Whitebeards? The world?

What do you mean Rayleigh’s heart didn’t shatter to pieces once more when Ace’s body fell to the ground, that Buggy felt despair claw into his mind when he heard Luffy’s heartwrenching cry, that Shanks didn’t curse the world and back when he came far, far too late.

What do you mean this didn’t all happen? What do you mean that they don’t care?

What do you mean they just stood there and did nothing?

I've got reactions starting to listen to episode 62:

Who's this little old lady? She seems sweet?

Why is dear Gertrude so mean to her?

And then the answers to all questions:

Oh. It's Mary Keay.

Aaand it's a Leitner episode, goddamnit.

Go Gertrude, be mean, fuck her up

So, I just begun listening to the Magnus Archives Podcast; and even if I could stay here hours to talk about how much I love it already, I'm here to be my dumbass self:

I'm here to talk about the episode 16: "Arachnophobia"

The first thing you gotta know about why I feel like this about this episode, is that I'm in no way shape or form arachnophobic; I love spooders with all my heart and to me, they're only the arachnid equivalent of the danger noodles (which I also love, but I'm not here to talk about this).

Second thing is that when I'm scared, I try to empathize with the villain and not the protagonist of the horror I'm watching, or in this case, listening to.

In this Episode, Carlos Vittery explains how he moved to this flat to find the thing he had been fleeing from: spiders.

But tell me, just tell me, that I wasn't the only one to think how good must've felt the spider the second Carlos saw him on the TV screen.

I just imagine Carlos trying to grasp at his sanity while this little shit just makes fortnite dances on his tv screen, while giving him a metaphorical middle finger.

the transition im crying

The Vast: Hey, wouldn't it be great if we collaborated and built a space station to send humans to and see how much we can fuck with them?

The Dark: Lmao, that's fucking hilarious, let's do it.

The Lonely, pointing at Carter Chilcott: I'm calling dibs on that one

I’ll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as “attractive” or even “sexy” to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isn’t?

My favourite word used to describe Jon in a fic is “coltish”. I’ve seen it used twice, maybe three times, and every time has been a delight because I think it just sums him up nicely

Physically it gives an impression of being kind of skinny and gangly, disproportionate and all leg, but still smaller than you’d expect

Emotionally it’s like “should... should that thing be able to move? I don’t think it should be able to walk let alone- oh god it’s coming this way-“

Is this podcast really going to make me fall for the literal personification of arachnophobia?

Yes, I'm talking about Annabelle Cane, and yes, I'm also very gay.
