Yup

amen

Spitting facts

Martin protection squad

Yeah!!

Episode 2 guy was so smart 😭

honestly when the ecologist guy go "i didn't deserve any of this". im just here like "my guy, have then why did you fucketh around and findeth out"

I immediately thought druids tbh 💀

So far he was the only one who actually used his brain lol

I have never heard of Joshua Gillespie being described with “Not my Coffin, Not my Funeral” And I’m using that!!!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who analyzes what makes this scary

Because they don't always do the thing that horror movies teach you not to do. They generally actually behave sensibly and try to just mind their own business but it doesn't help! You are incredibly correct

except for that one dude in "Do Not Open" he just went "fuck nope" for a whole year and got off scot-free (so far...)

And then you have the old guy from Episode 10 who's just like "Hey guys, I'm Trevor, I'm homeless, and I've been killing vampires since I'm a child" :D

He could have avoided his fate if he left after he started sweating and wanting to gag

Jon start loving Martin challenge

jon stop being mean in general but ESPECIALLY to martin challenge

...failed...

He succeeded in the end!

i dont get why jon talked about martin like a soldier in the trenches talking about his horse of a wife back at home

Also just saying, they're the delivery guys for the 2nd episode with the casket. They were described in that exact same way.

And the guys that took the Caliope.

Idk man sounds normal to me

...wait did you just call Martin "Markus"

MARKUS FUGGIN HA!

So was the photo of the lady a picture of Gertrude?

Alternative hypothesis: The Archivist may be an arcane mantle of some significant power. Always watching, always listening, always recording... If this is the case, a photograph of Gertrude would be a sensible component in a formation to seal away an ancient evil.

@@ishner Interesting theory. :D

@@ishner If that is the case, then whoever picked him for it and didn't fill him in on that side of things is a DICK.

@@pyrosianheir so Elias Is a dick. Considering it would make sense for him to choose who would be the archivist?

Random guy: *breaks bottle* Entity: ... and I took that personally

HOW DID NOBODY SEE THIS BEFORE. THIS STATEMENT IS ABOUT SOMEONE LIGHTING THEMSELVES ON FIRE i cannot describe the emotions i am having rn.

this is so goofy lmfao im gonna have to go back and look at the other descriptions now!

Literally the only reason I came into the comments lmao 🥵🥵🥵

"Somewhat"

Hey, seems like it worked!

Yea, I guess the curse was broken coz once you’re dead you can’t love anyone

It actually makes sense, I guess, cause what if this curse thing was attached to him when he entered the circle, I mean the water he wanted to drink started boiling, the car he drove went up in flames, the house he lives in burned down.... what if this burning curse is inside him and everything he comes in contact with for too long just...you know

It's called burnt offering. An offering is something given willingly. He burnt himself instead of his son. He offered himself as the sacrifice.

That's what I thought. It's sad, but at the same time something you would expect a loving father to do.

Jon : Aw Shit! Here we go again

I would, but I can't live through that much alcohol

Take a shot when they say "I suppose..."

"I don't know what I was expecting."

"But [their] curiosity always has been too much for [their] own good"

I loved him for his sass and now I'm crying for his sleep. Please darling baby go to bed ❤

"Jon, take a nap", is basically the tag line of the latter half of the series.

Well... Define “okay”... 😬

@@TheNitpickChick I finished the series a while ago and he didn't end up ok by any definition :(

ineedmoresalmon I mean... he’s still alive..? And he has Martin with him..? So that’s at least something. But yeah. Jon’s not okay. 😞

@@ineedmoresalmon2475 well the series isnt even done yet !

@@TheNitpickChick Haven’t finished the series but I’m super relieved to hear Martin and John are okay, that’s all I needed

My brain took a while to process he wasn’t just calling the delivery men useless lmfaooo

Ah but consider......the knowledge

@@jackbelmont4389 this

fun fact: Before I started listening I thought this podcast was about the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexual Research. Talk about destroyed knowledge, huh?

9 months ago, you probably know now that you were riiiight!! That being said, what do you think would have happened if Jon said "you know what? You're right. I'll get an axe." right then and there?

@@fruitygarlic3601 "Make your statement, face your kink."

The closed eye appears to be related to the darkness, the open eye to the burning, from what I can tell anyway,

You're close to the truth

Also the mist! which seemsto be related to the lukas family...spooky things are going on...

Gerard has open eye tatoos, they seemed to protect him from the burns. So the closed eye is probably releted to darkness, while the open one is maybe not even good, but surely better.

This comment section right here has some top notch theories, just saying

I thought the same thing!

Yeah and the jacket thing and also that he feels like he is burning

wait, what about the 2 business men on a hiking trip? that could have been the 2 guys

@@riverunderhilll2018 yep we might be onto something here

Unlikely to be the same 2- one is/was Jerrod, who killed the other. There may be a cult involved.

Okay so this ritual thing definitely reminds me of that cult. Yk, the one in which the guy went into the church in the graveyard trying to find out the roommate of his gf... I completely forget their names lol. I think it's said in that episode that Gertrude died in that some church (or was it somebody theorising int he comments?) But whatever it is I think Gertrude's death is related to those weird cult people

If it makes you feel better they are available from other sources

i believe The Magnus Archives is fairly popular, just not really here on UKposts

Wow that number shot up in a year

It’s now the most popular fiction podcast :)

When the Reckoning comes we shall be the Spared.

In episode 14 (one where that nurse got two burn victims) one of them had a zippo light with an eye on it. Jon just got a zippo lighter with a spider web design.

AHHH

i wasn't ready

only Samantha Emery knows that

The daughter of gertrude

Yeaaah it felt creepy sonehow

_Progressive, protect your home and auto even when they're destined, beyond the forces of the universe, to burn._

Well I'm pretty sure the creature that helped his assistant with the colony was "not Graham" and it seems he wants to help.. somehow.. whatever that means

Why are you replying to my comments at, like, 4 am?

@@sandymcneish7820 lol it's 2 am where i am. and lets just say i'm having a bit of a sleepless night.

...got it

Oh shoot- I'm just re-reading the comments after ep 40 and I'm NOT GONNA SPOIL ANYTHING, but a fact wouldn't even occur to me if it weren't for this comment and I thank you very very much

My first thought was the kind murder lady, Angela :D

In hindsight, Jon's reaction to lock the table up was the right one. (He really should have kept to not listening to Elias).

opposite of a ward

Jon theater kid confirmed

oh it leads down a spooky hallway

Ikr??? Like, if anyone was supposed to be genre savvy you'd *think* it would be the guy that works in the institute that studies the supernatural And *yet*...

@@unicornilluminati9019 [spoiler] To be fair he turned out to be right about the table being important. But then he destroyed it--after listening to the tape that revealed that the table was important. So still not smart.

Idk, destroying things don’t seem to end well in horror movies either. Just look at what happened in This episode.

@@eliwhite6159 Sleep deprivation and frustration is a hell of a combo

@@unicornilluminati9019 and then the fun part is he gets punished for being genre savvy later on with the same table lmao

It's an error that's weaselly made.

I'm guessing that the guy wanted to explain it the same way as he does to his four year old son?

Weasels sound boring. Very small bears sound cool.

I love how the episode used knowledge of actual practices and didn’t just do stereotypes and Hollywood magic

A year on and you may not respond, however I will ask anyways. Could you satiate my curiosity and explain the jsr magicks?

@ademort8124 @lordtoademort8124 There is no true occult anymore--there is a Wikihow to create a "sour jar" to hurt someone. The "sour" is to sour their life. The jar is just a containment device for the sympathetic items--like the photo. Based on this, the spell jars were transmitting the harm of the altar circle to the subject--Gertrude. Its possible that breaking the jar didn't do anything, the man may have doomed himself just by entering. Its also possible the jars were diverting the energy, lessening the full force, which is why he didn't immediately die upon approaching the altar surrounded by dead animals (unless the animals were trapped there by a deliberate sacrifice). And, although the man claimed he didn't think he could be MORE cursed by taking the photo, HE DIDN'T KNOW SHIT, and it is very possible taking the photo with him made him like the jars, a focal point for the already devoted magic. Sacrificing himself or Gertrude's death may have been what made the photo harmless from then on. EDIT: Reminder. If magic worked, more rich people would be dead. Don't waste your time.

i'm barely scratching the surface of season 1 (currently listening to ep38) and listening for the first time but these future seasons sound extremely chaotic

@@phantomkapok felt

Why'd u spell it like that

pine MARTIN lol

SO CLOSE~

"We have absolutely no proof that anything supernatural happened there... except for this one super creepy thing that can't be logically explained at all" lol

Omg u r right!!

Imagine if Jon had stuck with his "ignore what Elias suggests" position.😅

you'll find out later

Considering that the table was binding NotSasha, it would've been worse. It would've been so much worse.

@@kellanlevi5663 Would it? If everyone was ready for something to happen as they chucked it into the wood chipper, they might have actually had a chance against the Not!thing. It doesn't attack out in the open. Only when someone is isolated around it. That being said, if they took their stupid pills and destroyed it IN the Archives, the Not!thing would have been lurking in the archives... and i hate to say it, if it got its pick... it probably would have taken Tim.

Each time an artifact is delivered to the Archives it's Elias' doing and ment to facilitate marking the Archivist. If Jon had destroyed the table immediately the NotThem would have been released and likely started stalking Jon. Sasha may not have been killed and replaced by it, but it definitely would've tried to kill the Archivist as soon as it could. Season 1 Jon was even less prepared to deal with the NotThem then season 2 or 4 Jon. It took until Full Power Mode was unlocked for Jon to kill the NotSasha.

I hope you're having fun with season 2 :')

@@Ella-gj7vr oh ive finished the whole thing :)) having a lot of fun indeed :))

John get a hug challenge

I'm a first time listener, started this yesterday and I can agree, it doesn't seem like a good idea

It was from Across The Street, episode 3! It was the table at Graham's house and I think it vanished...? I don't really remember

Sorry Im a little late and I don't know if you've already come back to listen again to the episode x) I wondered last episode when it came up if Not!Graham had gotten rid of the table like the notebooks of Graham when he... switch places with him? But I listened again and the woman -Amy- doesn't say anything about the table, only that he seemed to have changed the decoration of the flat. So, I see two solutions here ; either Not!Graham shipped it to Jonh with the B&H compagny, but that begs the questions as to why, and how come every living supernatural creatures hates the Archivist lol ; or Not!Graham got rid of it when he stole Graham's life, and B&H somehow got it, but then again why send it to John especially? He's the Archivist, sure, and that seems important. But he's not the "boss" around, that'd be Elias...

@@itstictac2825 maybe because the table is dangerous? Idk but I feel it. First time watching, so I'm not sure about it but the table and it's description make me feel uneasy.
