Day Twelve Of Doing A Doodle For Every Episode Of The Magnus Archives, But I Get Bored. Guess Whos Back?

Day twelve of doing a doodle for every episode of the Magnus archives, but I get bored. Guess who’s back? Gerard Keay just inspires me to draw a lot of funky little eyes what can I say? Anyway POV you’re a nurse who’s looking forward to not working in the accident ward during Christmas and a goth eye wizard and an old man with fire powers start fighting at 3 am.

Day eight of doing a doodle for every episode of the Magnus archives, until I get bored. Bada boom, welcome to the House on Hilltop Road baby, first statement involving Agnes Montague my beloved, and the very first hint of a mention of the distortion. I didn’t spend a huge amount of time on this one, but I had a decent idea of what I wanted to do, plus I’m honestly treating this as an exercise, and you don’t get irritated for one of your push ups isn’t as good as it could be, you finish it and do another set tomorrow.

Day thirteen of doing a doodle for every episode of the Magnus archives, until I get bored. Our first live statement boys! This episode is also the first time I picked up on one of my favorite mechanics of the series, although I didn’t realize it until later obviously, but I was sitting listening to the live statement and going “wow this sounds really polished and well put together, I wish the acting was a little more natural” and obviously, surprise! That’s a feature not a flaw!

Jon: you ever get so tired you start seeing spiders?

Sasha: Me when I take 17 Benadryl and start seeing the man with all the bones in his hands

Jon: THE WHO!?!

Sasha: this is not a safe place suddenly

Because Sasha and Jon are both unhinged individuals and there’s a 0% chance something like this didn’t happen at some point

Day nine of doing a doodle for every episode of the Magnus archives until I get bored. Julia Montork is one of my favorites, and this episode starts a theme among some of my favorite episodes of the early tma seasons, and that is how unreliable everyone is as a narrator when they have no clue what the hell is happening, I think Julia’s statement stands out in this, especially on first listen, because of the fact that she’s a child, and both she, and us as the audience, know that she doesn’t know anything, not just about the spooky stuff, and relistening to the series is fun because you know more about what’s happening than any character, and you can fill in the gaps like Julia herself does as she tells her story.

Day four of doing a doodle for every episode of the Magnus Archives, until I get bored. I fully forgot that this episode was so early in the series, but in honor of the first appearance of my beloved Gerry Keay, the first appearance of a Leitner, and the first mention of Mike Crew, we have my favorite one of these so far.
