February 2026

Cigarettes are tied to the Web. Weed is tied to the Vast. Vapes are tied to the Lonely. Explanation:

- cigarettes: a representation of addiction in general. Something you start doing out of your own free will, and it feels good at first so you keep doing it. But the longer it goes on it becomes a compulsion, someting involuntary. And it's starting to affect you negatively and getting more and more out of hand, making you question whether you even had control over it in the first place. But you did choose this, you made the decision to start, and it feels good, or at least it felt good in the beginning, and maybe you even want to stop. After all, there is nothing preventing you from quitting, you're doing this because you want to, and surely just one more time won't hurt

- weed: cause u get high like fear of heights an aspect of the vast get it

- vapes: what if when peter lukas vanished he didn't disappear into the fog and instead he actually took a fat hit of his vape and hid behind the smoke

Jon doodle. Joodle?

Since two of my dearest mutuals care. Here are all tma-related urls I could come up with that weren't taken plus an unnecessary explanation for each of them. Under the cut cause it got long

Keep reading

"statements-end": classic. Tma-related but also nonspecific. Focused on the podcast being finished. One of my faves

"janeprentissenthusiast": jane is one of my favourite characters I ♡ her

"helendistorted": same as above plus a super secret more personal reason that I won't share

"from-the-heights": ex altiora was already taken

"alivingchronicleofterror": relates to the Archivist. I love Jon and talk about him constantly so it would fit my blog contents

"archives-of-fear": pretty much same as above. Slightly more cringe though

"gerry-klucz": gerry *key*

"buried-eyes": I just like the rhythm of it. Other than that it's a nothingburger

"horrortea": sums up the average tma fan. Very cringe but not *that* bad

"znieksztalcona": "distorted"(fem). I'm just a casual enjoyer of the spiral though so it's not very fitting

"tapesandthoughts": tapes are the core element of the podcast. Pleasantly vague but also cringe. Makes me think of Martin recording his poetry for the "lo-fi vibe" (bad)

"first-hunt": my favourite tma episode. I really love the suspicious hiker...

"gruesomeheights": most variations of "literary heights" were taken

To sum up most of these are mediocre but I can't be martinblackwoodhaterfan forever it's too LONG. Just "martinblackwoodhater" is pushing it and the three additional letters only make it worse. No matter what I'll end up changing it to I'll still remain mr hater's fan in spirit

so. which one?

  • statements-end
  • janeprentissenthusiast
  • helendistorted
  • from-the-heights
  • alivingchronicleofterror
  • archives-of-fear
  • gerry-klucz

  • znieksztalcona
  • tapesandthoughts
  • first-hunt
  • gruesomeheight

Ran out of poll answers. Sacrificing buried-eyes since it's lame

Gerry Keay

Another joodle

I kind of want to draw something magpod related for valentines day but I can't decide

what should I draw

Anyway. Hunt!Tim chasing endlessly after the shadow of his dead brother. Suspecting somewhere in the back of his mind that it's all futile and he is long gone, but still not stopping the fruitless search. No longer being able to tell whether he even wants to find Danny at all. Just lost in the chase.

Diversity win! The living mannequin who kidnapped you and threatened to rip all your skin off is transfem!

Every time you limit any of the Fears to just a single aesthetic element a Gerry Keay dies

Aroace jongerry is my ultimate truth

My wonderful gerrymike fantasy in which they beat the shit out of each other over a Leitner then go out for drinks immediately afterwards

My beautiful gothmetalhead wifehusband and his short pet freak that bites

Jon is the bravest person in the whole podcast btw

Happy Valentine's Day! Have a yuriful Saturday everyone 💗

Since it's very popular to arrange the Fears into the colour wheel, and the podcast itself uses a colour wheel metaphor to describe the way they function, does that mean certain Fears cancel each other out? I don't mean it in a "rivalry" sense, more like... say you fell victim to the Eye, and in order to escape it you lock yourself in a pitch black room. Or you fell victim to the Buried, so you decide to go on a very long cruise or something.

Could you become a servant of one Fear by escaping another? Theoretically you would still be afraid - afraid that once you "let go" of one entity, the other one will get you. Kind of like with Salesa's camera (was it a camera?) that he used to hide himself from the apocalypse. Could it work that way? Or is the source of the fear more important?

Caught in a web

I talk way too much shit about the characters for someone whose favourite part of the podcast are the statements

That funny feeling you get when you're certain one of your coworkers is secretly plotting to kill you
