## Happy December! Here’s what advent calendars I think the characters in TMA would have!

Jon: Socks, probably. Maybe ties? Something that would be advertised as “top advent calendar to get your grumpy husband 😜”. Martin bought it for him.

Martin: Teabags. I don’t think I need to elaborate.

Sasha: Something really elegant and cool like second hand books or handmade jewellery. She probably saw it on etsy and told Tim about it and he bought it for her.

Tim: One of the shitty aldi own brand ones…. Sasha bought it for him as a joke. (he was even happier with it than sasha was with what he got her.)

Melanie: Some kinda murder mystery one where you get a piece of evidence each day and you have to solve it before the 24th (if this isn’t already a thing it should be)

Basira: A coffee one with different flavours every day. Daisy got it for her.

Daisy: Same as Basira. They both got eachother the same one and they open it together each morning and discuss the flavours…

Elias: He has an original victorian paper one that he’s always used. He lets out a little chuckle every time he opens the pictures. Even though he knows exactly what each of them is.

The answer of any tory politician when you ask them what their favourite episode of The Magnus Archives is:

The variety in TMA is so wonderful because it means that there’s an episode for every flavour of mental breakdown!

I love artists that make TMA fanart because they’ll post the most exquisitely terrifying detailed full page piece of an eldritch horror captioned “he’s just a little guy 🥺” and then will turn around and post a chibi sketch captioned “I thought I’d have to stop listening after he brutally murdered that man, but I think the horror of it all just kept me enthralled.”

And both pieces are of the same character.

Why is it always “Your employees are allowed to do whatever they want on break! ” or “stop stalking your employees Jon!” or “You’re creating an unhealthy workplace environment!”??

Why can’t it be “how was Madame Tussauds, Jon?”, “did you enjoy seeing the wax figures?”, “Did you get a picture with your favourite celebrity?”???

Martin Blackwood: a delightful man, good friend, constant converse wearer, cute jumper connoisseur, enjoyer of baked goods, avid tea consumer, soft spoken, beloved by many, and possibly the biggest people pleaser ever.

# VS

Jonathan Sims: bastard academic, bad at staying in touch, strict office wear user, ‘the right shoes for the occasion’ type guy, M&S food eater, outspoken and impetuous, and probably one of the most paranoid people ever.

(no one wins, they just kiss)

Every “flaw” in the magnus archives is actually a really clever plot device. Just incase you didn’t know.

I love blogging about tma as a Londoner because the majority of the fandom don’t live here so I could say the most insane bullshit ever and it’d be really hard to disprove…

Anyways Breekon and Hope delivered my amazon package today how fucked up is that?
