They Should Make Jobs For People That Are Terrified. In General

Reasons why Jon Archivist is truly a character of all time:

Had the police called on him several times when he was a young child

Keeps his rib and the ashes of the season one antagonist next to his stationary drawer

Promised he wouldn’t get lost in tunnels and then immediately got lost in aforementioned tunnels

Has no clue what a joke is

Learned how remarkably easy it is to buy an ax in central London

Had to have two separate interventions

Told people his place of employment before traumatising them for life

The first character he ever said ‘I love you’ to is a cat

Allegedly participated in amdram

Watches documentaries and collects some kind of weird shit (my headcanon is Soviet Union postcards) when he’s not being a paranoid mess

Canonically looks like he hasn’t slept in weeks

Knows nothing about library science

Fell head over heels for a man that he hated until he learned he lied on his resumé

Has been referred to as Jesus or Jesus-adjacent at least twice

Asexual icon

Knows what a meme is and said “LOL” in the first episode

Rode on a merry-go-round sometime during his university days because he was in a weird place emotionally

Died for our Jonathan Sins

Is probably a computer now playing minesweeper with his boyfriend and evil 200+ year old boss

i think the horror in Elias’ body being stolen isn’t just the fact that it’s stolen, but the fact that nobody cares. It’s feels like a step-up from the NotThem because at least with the NotThem everyone except one has the privilege of forgetting the real person- not with Elias, though. no. Everyone knew, including the audience, and nobody bothers to refer to Jonah as his real name. Instead of unknowingly forgetting, they’re doing so willingly.

Peter acknowledged the fact that Jonah steals bodies, he even knew him when he was James Wright, and still verbalised his choice to call him Elias. Gertrude knew, and possibly knew the actual Elias too, and still spat out the name Elias right before she died like it’s an insult. The audience is well aware, and yet it’s jonelias, not jonjonah. when it’s not lonelyeyes it’s peterelias, not peterjonah. Both in and out of the universe, the original Elias is gone.

hi hello I’m being haunted by this fucking podcast

[JON SCREAMS]

[scene from MAG 119]

I need to know, has anyone come up with a clever nickname for the jontim ship? For jonmartin we have teaholding and jmart, for daisybasira we have daisira (could use some work honestly), and with melgeorgie we have wtgfs (what the girlfriends). Just to name a few examples.

Hello tmagp fandom here are my arguments as to why jon died of heart problems:

his mom died of heart problems

look at that pile of stress like godsamn

he canonically has heart problems in tma!! cz he mentions it in his birthday tape when tim spooks him

metaphorically fits. heartbreak lol

also the mag200 stab

arguments as to why martin died in the bike:

imagine jon exercising ever

the car didn't NOTICE him they DIDNT SEE HIM COMING. MARTIN WAS NOT SEEN!!! MARTIN DIED BECAUSE NOBODY SAW HIM!!!!

i rest my case

So I’ve been on my re listen of the magnus archives

And something that I’m thinking about allot is the “I see you” line, the way it’s used as an anchor. You have the obvious and wel known season 4 lonely “I see you, Jon” but I want to talk about the one in season 3

Because I lost my absolute marbles hearing that line in the season 3 finale. It is Jon suddenly being able to anchor himself and recognising the situation around him, seeing through the stranger.

But the most import part, is how it relates to Tim. Tim has previously stated that he can only be sure Jon is real. He doesn’t trust anyone because anyone could be a stranger, but Jon, Jon is real to him, he knows Jon can’t just be magically replaced.. that’s Tim’s anchor, Jon.

This is THEIR “I see you” moment.

Jon helps Tim Anchor himself which makes him able to recognise the situation and save everyone.

The phrase “I see you” is used in every season finale now expect season 5 (I think?). I don’t know if I’ve fully figured out what that narrative through line means (especially in the case of Sasha) but god is it intresting. Especially cus it’s every member of the original crew that gets the line in some way

hello. i am decimal anon (new here). perchance i see. a little bit. tim. and. sasha. perhaps kiessing?

this has been sitting in my inbox for a while, sorry for only just getting to it! here's your (overdue) timsasha :)
