kms kms bro i thought i was just being gay for fun wdym ive actually got a crush on a man k didn’t know i could even do that bro…….. i was just doing this for the vibes
they had to bring helen in to disrupt the argument because martin had no actual points he could use in rebuttal 🥀🥀 can this man just try maybe thinking critically for once
obviously i understand that like martin has to be an audience surrogate and therefore he has to ask questions but like omgggggg how is he THIS annoying about it ⁉️ like king pls how is john meant to change the answer just because you don’t like it were you expecting things to be nice and peachy in the apocalypse…..
buddy thinks that him observing awful things is a mark of morality (as he’s making himself suffer and equates suffering with redemption) while john observing awful things is a monsterous (as he needs it to live). notice how the outcome doesn’t change. notice how neither action causes or mitigates further harm
I’m the exact opposite of “the statements are boring I just skip straight to dialogue” people. I love the statements more than anything. Yeessss….. give me one thousand million hours of Jonathan Sims narrating short horror stories…. wish there was a version of tma without the plot stuff so I could enjoy the stories without having to hear Jonathan Archivist Sims suffer all the time
Okay, I’m gonna be a Martin Blackwood hater for a second so be warned. Martin critical rant under the cut! Also I think his flaws are super interesting and make him more complex! I’m just frustrated by how underexplored they are at times. “^^
what do you mean rebrand ive always been like this. but ya i mean i never had THAT much to say about martin it was never gonna last forever without me just repeating myself + people haven’t been sending me asks about it recently so like i haven’t really got anything else to say rn 🤷♂️🤷♂️
+ new csh album out 😋
coming back to this there’s something quite charming of the idea that a tumblr blog could ever be “paying off”. like girl all i get from this is millennials making hateposts about me i promise you that nothing on my account is a planned out career move. sometimes i reblog furry art sorry y'all have to deal w that. i promise there’s no ulterior motive
why are all the people who are dedicated Martin Haters so abnormal about women in a negative way. I want to scroll tags to keep my own haterisms in check but then they start talking shit about melanie and it’s like. okay I was on board with what you were saying abt that guy I hate but that’s a step too far buddy
the real reason i made a turnaround on most of the women in tma tbh. like hating on them didn’t exactly feel radical it felt cooler to accept that maybe they’re just awful women and like good for them they can do what they want idc 🔥🔥🔥
except for daisy because police brutality is too real 👎
hey chat am i allowed to be a hater for a sec. I think my biggest issue with jmart as a ship (and the tma fandom as a whole tbh) is the insistence on love being the solution for everything. I always see takes like “it was love that was Jon’s last sliver of humanity!!” or “love pulled Martin out of the Lonely!!” or “the only good thing during the eyepocalpse was love!!” and it’s just like. do you guys hear yourselves. you sound like my alloromantic ass mom who’s about to tell me that I’ll find someone eventually
heyx as a transmasc person, people who headcanon Martin as transmasc are awful. I've been called transphobic multiple times over this. and the amount of people who act like he's transmasc because he cared for his mum, so clearly he can't be a cis guy? awful.
OH oh okay so. i have more reason to have the martin blackwood hater blocked. ahm. they headcanon martin as transphobic. which is. horrible obviously why the HELL would you headcanon any character, even one you dislike, as transphobic?
Can’t BELIEVE Martin didn’t support Jon in his transition. Supportive boyfriend where 😒😒😒😒
prev i mean this with love but like…. did we listen to the same podcast…? he was not supportive of that at all lmao 😭😭
been a while since i listened but he seemed pretty chill about the eye god thing to me
more than tim or basira at least
a collection of some of the evidence against that idea:
(p1)
i know in canon noone is supportive of jon being an avatar (except for elias) but i was joking based on how martin doesnt seem as bothered by it as the others, like tim. its probably just because of how in love with jon he is. respect your commitment though
he is bothered by it as i just showed you and i really also don’t think he is in love with john. no jokes allowed on the martinblackwoodhater blog sorry im the only one allowed to have fun here i am evil
every time there’s one less cis girl and one more trans man in the world i am saying such things as “yippieee ^_^” and “yayyyyy!!!” and throwing confetti and setting off fireworks
Me when I look up ‘tma’ in someone’s blog and instead of seeing transphobic takes and superficial understanding of intersectionality and sexism I see The Magnus Archives
Pisses me off when people only enjoy Helen Distortion when they are forcing her into the role of a fujoshi jmart shipper. I’m sorry that beautiful woman should be lezzing out like crazy and you’re gonna keep her from that just so she can be the audience of ur fave gay pairing?? Set my girl free
to be fair the tory leader irl rn is a black woman so i mean it’s not exactly a conflict…
Going back to this but like. Why would you be so against transphobic Martin when he would be a perfect match for the very popular fandom portrayal of transgender homophobic Elias. Martin slandering his boss for being transgender vs his boss slandering him for being gay. The ouroboros of ooc fandom jokes. You could milk it for another five years or so
where did this idea come from lmao this is so fire martin would be so transphobic 🔥🔥
Listen, I have my gripes with Malevolent too, and I often agree with what people are upset over, but I swear to Azathoth if I see one more post from someone who just rage listens then rambles about how “the writing sucks” without any further commentary, I’m going to throw my phone into a pit. If you’re gonna criticize, give actual criticism, I am begging you!! “This podcast sucks now” is NOT constructive at all!
heartbreaking: someone makes a take you agree with and then hates on you directly in the tags
How friendless does Jon have to be that he had to turn to Helen oh my GOD.
I don’t like “Helen”. I didn’t like her, even when she felt guilty, even when she helped out with Jared, EVEN when she helped Jon and Basira escape. I didn’t like her, I don’t like her, I won’t like her.
It was her episode that shook me up the most out of the whole dmn podcast. I don’t talk about the statements itself here much but the fact that she personally came to the institute clearly shaken up, told her statement and sounded so genuinely relieved for Jon to have believed her, and then only seconds later ended up back in that door? Forget that being the first time Jon admitting he believed someone, I cannot even imagine how horrifying it must have been to walk through the door and realize you have ended up back there again. The feeling of relief turning into dread must have been absolutely devastating and that THING did that to her and now it’s calling itself Helen and I don’t like her.
i think if i had a bf so desperate that he’d turn to Helen Distortion I’d kms. like how bad do you have to fuck up a relationship for that lmao 😭
saw a post saying that jmart isn't codependent because martin refused to gouge his eyes out for jon, and instead chose to do a more logical option. and it was very. oh haha jon is so stupid and irrational thank god he has martin to be sensible for him.
and like. had martin been willing to help jon leave when he asked to, even if he wasn't willing to also leave, the world wouldn't have ended. or at the very least it would have taken longer. gouging out their eyes would have been better.
literally like omg i don’t know why people mock john for exploring his options with blinding himself. like guys the world ends because he doesn’t do that…. it’s not illogical he isn’t being paranoid the world is literally out to get him
