Dear friends,,, colleagues, I have a confession to make; I think Cardinal Thomas Lawrence and Pope Innocent XIV (Vincent Benítez) should hold hands and be happy together.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh it’s happening. Tim Misny is breaking containment.
For context, I’ve lived in Ohio all my life and spent three years living in Cleveland for university (which sometimes had photoshopped tim minsy jokes in different departments!). So, inevitably I saw many, many Tim Misny ads while living there. But, this doesn’t even cover half of the utter insanity of Mr Misny Esquire. No, the man makes ‘em pay far beyond the realms of menacing billboards invoking eldritch terror upon the freeway.
Tim Misny is northern Ohio's eldritch god, plague and menace. Or at least the real life Saul Goodman.
The completely bonkers sign of him menacingly raising his eyebrows is rather new- but before that, clevelanders were graced with the absolute beauty of Tim Misny tv and internet ads. Please let me tell you about the Tim Misny Thriller Parody . Please, it's been consuming my brain for years and no one believes me.
This is an actual advertisement for a personal industry lawyer made in 2010. A young couple enters Misnyland (yes, an actual place that is Tim Misny’s residence and also a resort(???) for the general public. I do not know anybody who has gone there, but it is advertised on his site) and are chased by clowns, zombies and werewolves etc etc. But at the end of the music video (with lyrics changed to match the divinity of Tim Misny Esquire) the monsters suddenly all turn into Tim Misny, fit with horrifying laminated Tim Misny Masks with suits to match. This is somehow more terrifying than the very silly autotune that replaces michael jackson.
Actual Tim Misny also appears in the crowd of dopple-Misnys and shows us his true form which never appears on his billboards for some reason???
There is also a Tim Misny Commercial which the very thought of Tim Misny plagues the personification of Insurance Companies with nightmares and has honestly some of the spookiest synth tones and sound design in a commercial I have ever seen? Very surreal, very nightmarish, absolute terror in the words “And this time- he really made me pay”
There is also the gosh dang Tim Misny merch shop which just speaks for itself. Some of my favourites being the Tim Minsy clock and the the official Tim Misny body pillow (no i am not lying look at it please)
Then there is also the moment where he went on a local comedians show and told his audience to call him and that he would trick your enemy into falling in love with him and then on their wedding day he would leave them at the altar while also simultaneously burning their house down.
There is so much more craziness to this man besides his admittedly absolutely bonkers bill-boards. I haven't even really touched the surface of Misnyness- just what an absolute dude. It honestly shocks me that people out of the state haven't really heard of him- the guys been active in his goofiness since the 1970s. I'm pretty sure he is immortal and is just a personal injury lawyer because he thought it would be funny.

Hi! Random mid-westener American here. The whole lemonade vs sprite thing is really confusing. But here's what Americans and south Asia (i think????) think is lemonade.
It's a home made drink made out of lemon juice, water, sugar and sometimes honey. It is pretty sour, yellow (sometimes pink) and not carbonated.
This is European lemonade
To people in america it just tastes like sprite. Its sweet, clear and carbonated. Its normally mixture between lime and lemon.
I know in German soda is called "lemonade" so I get were the confusion comes from.
But basically if it tastes like lemons and it's not carbonated its lemonade.
If it's a mixture of lime and lemon and its carbonated that's sprite .
one time i was in a pub in london and saw lemonade on the menu and i was like mmmm lemonade!!! but i’ve been to australia and been tricked before so i was like hey is this actual lemonade lemonade or is it just sprite and she was like it’s actual lemonade so i ordered some and she brought it back and it was sprite. i hate england

ooh boy am I behind,
Poniko is a gal and please let your dreamers wear pajamas to bed.
It is single handedly your fault that I adore regency Jonah. And I would die for your Barnabas Bennett. I hope you know how beloved your writing is by many of us. Truly inspirational 💖
!!!! AAAA thank you so much! I’m really honored and touched that you like the stuff I’m doing with Jonah and Barnabas! I’m a big ol’ blob of emotions
Also this is really humbling coming from you because your writing is really, really good! Your fic about mag 161 is 10/10 great atmosphere and fantastic spooks and i love it
This is how the game ends right?
AAAAAAAAAH OH MY GOSH!!!!
I'm loosing my marbles!! My marbles are all over the floor! Thank you, so, so much for bringing these silly fellas to life!! You have illustrated them all so charmingly!
Jon's character design is so incredibly cool and stylish! I love how you did his braid!! And the scars around the eyes! He's so brooding, just wow!
And jonah!!! He's so dapper and charming but you are so right in saying that he's worse! A hidden menace! His eyes are so bright and well rendered. His thought bubbles are so endearing what a guy, what a friend !
I'm so overjoyed you drew Alicia! She looks exactly as I imagined her oh my gosh! Jon and his collection of A-spec (and mordechai) friends totally not suitors are so delightful! I especially adore your Mordechai he is so no thoughts head empty he brings me such joy!
Just Wow!!! Thank you so much for bringing them to life! When I saw this I was so incredibly happy oh my gosh!!!
I can't stop re-reading this fic and therefore had to make art for it. Someday I might make a nice illustration for it, but for now, it's all silly.
Also, I had to come up with character designs for this and while I'm not super happy with them, they sure do exist! Regency hair is difficult to draw. Many thanks to Jon for having terribly unfashionable hair.
Random thoughts about the art below ↓
(I can fix him)
This man will come up with ways to manipulate Jon into having self-esteem.
(Fourth wheel)
Jon is collecting aro and ace-spec people like Pokemon and I respect that. Mordechai is also there, being a little weirdo.
(Wii Music)
I genuinely love Mordechai in this. He’s just vibing. Jon, I know you hate the Lukas family on principle but can you make an exception? I respect his dedication to having a chill time even while other people are going through serious events.
(Alicia)
Flora is my favourite of the Magnus family, but Alicia is a close second.
rhea lost. absurd. we riot at dawn.
Hi!! I hope it's okay if I add on to this! Your analysis around doors and choice in tma is so well written!
Your words also remind me of how doors in the magnus archives are somewhat representative as a death of self. Michael offering Jon an escape from the Stranger through death through his door. Michael transforming into Helen through his own door rejecting him. Elias opening the door to the archives to murder Jurgen leitner- effectively transforming the whole way we understand his character in the podcast. The same thing happens when he murders Gertrude, and our understanding of his identity changes once again.
Also, Jon visualizing his connection to the Eye through the medium of a door is especially interesting given the context of his trauma with Mr Spider's door. His fear of unbecoming -of the rest of his humanity drowning- under the weight of the Archivist behind his own door is really compelling under this lense! It gives this line so much more weight than it already has.
Thank you once again for your analysis. I shall be rotating it like a rat spinning to the hit song "free bird" in my head for the foreseeable future.
mag 81 - "a guest for mr spider" // mag 92 - "nothing beside remains"
a guest for mr spider is a top tier statement to me for a lot of reasons but the way it explains why jon is like That. his desire for answers is not a funny little protagonist quirk that dooms him or whatever, it exists because when he was eight he saw someone disappear behind a door, he was offered a mystery and then he spent the rest of his life chasing after answers, opening doors (elias is playing his victim blaming card over there because he's manipulated jon by denying him necessary information that Would've discouraged him from making a lot of those choices, like accepting the job! but he's also not lying). and doors in the podcast are a recurring symbol of separation of the mundane from the supernatural (it's also in the way every ritual speaks of metaphorically "opening a door"), jon's first fear mark involves him being traumatised (at a formative age. he was eight! something about the way that book was designed to attract a child is kind of vile to me, but why would the entities discriminate based on age?)—and traumatised in such a manner that it also cultivates in him a lifelong desire to seek out the supernatural. because he needs to know, something incomprehensible happened to him and he needs to understand. this doesn't mean he brought that all on himself, it's just another thing the podcast has to say about trauma and how it leaves its mark upon you (and in jon's case, tangibly. you are living a chronicle of terror)
