oh god now im nervous. putting all this under the cut
simon fairchild is hot
elias bouchard looks like a stock photo business man
helen’s more interesting than michael
people who are fixated on which characters a “good” or “bad” kind of missed the point of the show
i really genuinely hope that none of the tmagp characters are just a new version of tma characters. i hope all of them have completely new arcs we’ve never even considered.
if you take your tma glasses off and observe tmagp from a non-brainrotted point of view, you actually very quickly realize that none of the characters act like tma characters did.
people are weird about og!elias and i hate it
jon is not and never will be the hero of tma
people are boring about ships in this fandom. stop trying to create a ship monopoly and let rarepairs exist
jonah magnus and peter lukas would never ever get married. not for any reason in the world. jonah magnus is a romance repulsed aroallo. i have a whole other rant about this.
Ngl I keep forgetting that Peter Lucas is a tma character since I know someone irl named that so your hottakes post mentioning him jumpscared me. Oh mein gott they're shipping real people with Jonah Magnus....
LMAO i mean…the jonah magnus x robert smirke crowd….
ok ok EVEN HOTTER TAKES please dont kill me with rocks these are just my opinions i am just a little guy im very non-threatening
i dislike jonmartin and think the show would’ve been better if there was zero romance. none at all.
i genuinely do not understand why dookeay is half as popular as it is, it has rarepair vibes i honestly think you people just like white twinks a bit too much
jon would not fucking wear dresses or skirts. the fanart is cute and fun but i just do not see it.
on the other hand, martin WOULD wear dresses and skirts where is all the fanart of martin in dresses and skirts
i dont really like gwen. i am so sorry. i dont like gwen. she would make fun of me for buying home brand because im poor. i dont like gwen. she would call my shoes unprofessional and act like i can just buy new ones. i dont hate her at all i just. dont vibe with her. i am sorry
ok i dont need to say i love lena kelley everybody knows i love lena kelley but i guess for some reason it could be considered a hot take that i do not think she’s. anything like jonah magnus. at all. like where the fuck are you guys getting that from. are we even listening to the same podcast
I REALLY HOPE SAM IS MORALLY GREY !!!!! oh my god i would literally kill for slightly villainous samama khalid oh my god that would be so intriguing to me. him being the sweetest cutest guy ever while willingly committing himself to something evil. need need need. i looove him lots and lots
will never understand ppl who dont like gertrude robinson. shes so fucking. well-written. shes THE character haunting the narrative. but then again i forget some people focus more on “this character is morally bad :(” instead of “this character is sick as fuck” sigh.
hello hello, this is your excuse to ramble about your blorbos! give me your top 10 favourite tma characters 👀
YESS THANK YOUU :3
10. melanie king. she’s insane as a character i looove characters defined by their hatred and anger, but even more by what’s left of them when that’s taken away….wow. huge stuff.
9. hmmm annabel cane. she’s so cool,,, her canonical vintage style,,, i think about it a lot,,,,
8. tim stoker. his arc was so interesting tbh, how he stayed the same but changed so much.
7. adelard dekker, god why does nobody talk about adelard dekker. i wish we knew more about him. i wish we knew everything there was to know about him
6. daisy tonner, i looove dog-coded characters, i love the hunt in all of its hypocritical projection glory.
5. jonah magnus. so many thoughts. so so many thoughts. corporate-shaped false prophet angelthing. i wanna torture him and examine his reactions
4. mike crew, my favourite she/they tranfem, the only tma character i have ever related to. sigh. rip queen you would’ve loved the eyepocalypse
3. helen distortion, literally my babygirl, horrible little meow meow, also helanie should be so much more popular than it is
2. gertrude robinson, holy fucking shit gertrude robinson. perhaps the character ever written. the way that she was. the things that she did. just. oh my god.
1. simon fairchild. just. the most fun i’ve ever had listening to this podcast. i got genuinely sad when it was implied he died, and that’s saying something, because i almost never get sad about tma deaths.
Hi I’m sorry you are the only person on the internet I’ve seen talking about simon fairchild being hot you are so correct and I am glad I’m not the only one who thinks this lol
dennis collins, daisy tonner, and lena kelley all appeal to me as characters in one very specific way and im not going to say it because i say it too much.
pathetic gwen this, wet cat colin that. no one is talking about how pathetic and cringefail alice is. girlypop shows the tiniest amount of vulnerability and immediately covers it up with the most obnoxious joke she could come up with.
Mod of the magpod confessions blog here. Ty for having absolutely correct takes theyre always wonderful to read and I greatly look forward to them
Also YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABT OBJECTUM OTHERKIN ELIAS HOLY ACTUAL CRAP pls continue talking abt that
SJJFLSBXKSBFKDBFSKSB THANK YOU ITS SUCH AN HONOR !!!! ur blog is so so good and has introduced me to so many epic takes.
objectum otherkin elias is one of those headcanons i have that i literally cannot interpret the series without. everything that happens makes more sense through the lense of jonah magnus being an objectum otherkin. his relationship with the eye is entirely romantic and sexual and religious, and every relationship he has with any other human is secondary to that. he just wanted to become a part of the eye. he wanted to become an extension of it. i don’t think he ever really considered himself human, and being trapped in a human body and mind was painful for him. that’s why he didn’t understand why jon hated the idea of losing his humanity so much; being trapped in his own humanity was torture for jonah.
so basically whenever i see anyone share their headcanons regarding his gender or sexuality, all i can think is “there’s something a lot more complicated than that going on” because my own headcanon is. well. gender is for humans. sexuality labels are for humans. he is not a human.
i speedran reading some of your fics and to me it looks like you love going " wouldn't it be extremely funny/sad/fucked up/a mix of all of these if THIS happened?". also you're doing the lord's work writing so many fics for rarepairs. i liked parasight (that's their ship name right??) already but you made me love it
HAGDHEHHEFH THANK YOU !!!!!! i play with characters like dolls, it’s true. parasight is my magnum opus, my greatest creation, my most important contribution to this fandom.
“save me, jonathan sims” <- ridiculous sentence. he cannot save himself
“save me, sydney sargent” <- i mean…i guess he could try?
“save me, arthur lester” <- now this is real. he WILL save you.
if you asked jon to save you, depending on the season, he’d either raise an eyebrow at you and go “erm…excuse me?” or just look at you really really sadly and go “ughuhh…sorry….” and leave
if you asked sydney to save you, he’d be like “uhh, sure thing, whaddya need?” and after you explain your troubles he’d go “awh geez that sounds like a lot…”
if you asked arthur to save you, he’d grab your hand and be like “c'mon, we’re getting you out of here!!!” no matter how drastic your situation was.
not a fan of the "jonah magnus is a homophobic gay man" thing. like i get that people feel the need to ideologically seperate villains from themselves because they're uncomfortable with the idea of characters they dislike agreeing with them on anything. but like. i think the joke was funny like the first two times i heard it at the very most. and now it's just. stale. unoriginal. unfunny. i might be biased tho cuz i have my own oddly specific interpretation of him as an objectum otherkin and i think several aspects of his story support this interpretation and also i think that [i am forcibly removed off the stage]
Found myself thinking about TMA again after 50 years so i decided to redraw these Martin and Jon dog (canine ???) designs i found in my computer files and never posted anywhere (as far as i’m aware they’ve been in there since 2022)
statement about someone who tried to paint the sun, but kept making it bigger and bigger, always unhappy with how small it was. eventually they finished the project, and it was just a tiny, tiny speck on the canvas. the statement giver asked them why it was so small. they said “oh, it’s not small at all. you’re just very, very far away.” and when the statement giver looked back at the painting, the speck started growing, getting bigger and bigger, and the statement giver felt like they were falling into the painting. eventually it stopped. the painter was visible next to them again, and they merely whispered “really puts things into perspective, doesn’t it?”
her and og!elias used to smoke together, that’s why she immediately knew something was wrong when jonah possessed him. cuz the first time they smoked together after elias’ “promotion” he immediately started coughing and acting like someone who’d never smoked weed before. and she was immediately like “yeah no something isn’t right here”
Your theories and hcs and silly words are very silly and I am very glad to be a mutual of you, anyway
jon sims eye and lonely
RUNS AWAY
could be huge. personally im a big advocate of eye and end jon sims, eye and lonely gertrude robinson, eye and corruption jonah magnus (i have my own explanations for all of these) but i support this.
tma fans have the collective literacy of a peanut you bitches honest to god think the guy who has to beg on his hands and knees for donations to run his non profit academic institute of the occult is somehow an elon musk allegory? are you stupid? do you have worms in your brains? do you know what an institute IS?
going insane. yes. cant agree with you more on simon, in my insane little head, he tells everyone different pronouns to assert dominance over everyone else
also!!!! she/they mike and he/they melanie!!!! going absolutely insane oh my goodness!!!!!!
she/he/it jonah is so REAL dearie me. huge fan of the idea that jonah is very gnc. what gender is she not conforming to? who knows!
lena having different pronouns for different people in its life is also rather entertaining, i support this entirely. you only get to use he/it when you’ve proved yourself WORTHY
conclusion: your opinions are all correct. thank you and goodnight.
every fiction podcast protagonist needs to suck at least a little bit as a person on like a fundamental level, otherwise what’s the point even. and also the fact that they suck needs to be brought up in canon at least once. truly the media form of the anti-hero
Hihihi! I’m a pretty new follower and I’m somewhat familiar with your tmagp ships now, but what are your tma ships? :3
basically all of them, but i like coming up with my own ships. my magnum opus rarepair is parasight, jane prentiss x jonah magnus, i invented that shit. another one i’m big on is helanie, helen distortion x melanie king. but in general i can get behind basically any ship, tho i usually find the really popular ones boring.
