Just Listened To The First Couple Episodes Of The Magnus Protocol And I Have Stuff To Think About

Just listened to the first couple episodes of The Magnus Protocol and I have stuff to think about

(Spoilers ahead ofc)

Okay so immediately I like the new format, I think it opens a lot of opportunities for really unique stuff. I find it interesting how despite the apparent lack of tape recorders, there’s still a canon reason they’re being recorded, albeit in a way that raises way more questions (Like wdym Sam’s phone dialed a number on it’s own to listen in on him and Alice??)

Second thing is, like, Gwen?? Girl you are following in the footsteps of the other Bouchard and I am so worried for you. I was incredibly worried for her during that performance review, but I’m really interested in what’s going to happen. Like it’s uncanny how she seems to literally have the exact same ideas about her place in the institute as Elias did.

That first incident is going to come up later I’ve learned from the original that they’re gonna do callbacks and it’s gonna be really important.

Evidently I’ve figured the entities that each incident were are End, Eye, and Flesh in order, but that first one is just so weird??

Also when Sam questioned what ‘DPHW’ meant I immediately thought that the DP part stands for Dread Power(s) but I have no idea what the rest could mean.

Touching on Alice’s brother for a second I think that he’ll be relevant later (I mean obviously) but also the mention of his band name including ‘bullet’ immediately is setting off Slaughter flags in my head.

Also!! The second incident!! Erm!!

‘Canaries should stay above ground’ went so fucking hard and I’m curious about what actually happened in this case cause like it’s pretty obvious they didn’t write that themselves given the whole “Probably carved out their eyes” thing.

I started The Magnus Archives after it was already done and I unintentionally and intentionally spoiled myself before finishing it so I’m excited to actually listen along this time. I’m treating the second incident like everyone mentioned will be important because again internet usernames probably will be important.

(Can you tell I’m rambling as things come to mind)

I can’t tell if it was intentional or if it’s just a reoccurrence of the infinite name recycling thing again but the fact that the email from the first incident was to Daria while the person from the third was named Darla is interesting

Also haha hey Colin what are you up to you got cut off there

Also assuming that something terrible happened to Teddy because of course it did

They put Jon and Martin in Windows 95 truly tragic and also terrifying considering Binary

I’m curious who the third voice will be? Maybe Elias?

That’s all I’ll reblog this with more if I think about it

Reblog if you had a tab open for a WIP fic that got nuked bc Ao3 went down

So… I have a bit of an announcement to make. It’s hard for me to make and I don’t really know how to eloquently state it, so I just will.

In early July I was diagnosed with cancer, and a rare form of cancer too. Rare enough that the closest specialist is four hours away. Thankfully from what I’ve been told so far, my prospects look good, but we’ve been playing it by ear. However, the time between now and recovery may be long, painful and far too expensive.

 And that’s the difficult part for me to bring up. I was working on a tight budget even before my health became an issue, but it’s even more so now. With medical and school bills now on top of my already strict funds it feels like I’m drowning. I’ve been taking up more hours at work even though I should be on bed rest just to make ends meet, but this will only last so long.

With encouragement from a friend, I set up a donation page on my Ko-fi, now I won’t ask you to donate. But just reading this and possibly sharing this post will be more than enough help! I hope you all will be understanding as well if my content becomes less frequent because of this major life event and I appreciate your patience. However, if you do find that it is possible to help in these trying times, I am so grateful.

Either way if you decide to donate, share this post or have simply read to the end, I wish to say thank you. It has always been my dream to share my passion and work with others and to inspire those who see it. You all make me feel seen and have inspired me to be more. Thank you for making my dream come true and I hope to share more with you all for a long time to come.

the thing about when zionists ask you if "israel has a right to defend itself" is it's no different from someone asking "did you stop beating your wife yet" or the schoolyard bully asking "does your mom know you're gay". to answer yes OR no is to accept a false premise. asking if israel has the right to self defense is like asking if it has the right to time travel or the right to breed unicorns. in all three cases you're being asked about something that doesn't exist

if i break into your house and say it's mine now, and beat you up and lock you in a closet, do i have the right to "defend myself" against you fighting back? the answer is that nothing i do constitutes self-defense by definition. israel is the attacker, it is the invader, it is on the offensive, and anything it does to the palestinian people is part of that offensive. invaders always try to cry self-defense against the resistance to the invasion, but the only party in this situation whose actions can possibly be self-defense is palestine

LETS GO BARBIE MOVIE!!!
