The Magnus Archives is genuinely so funny from an objective pov because for four full seasons it’s this really tense horrifying portrayal of losing yourself to your fears and then the last season is just two very grumpy British boyfriends, one of which is just a regular nerd who loves tea while the other one is literally the antichrist, taking a road trip through a post apocalyptic wasteland during which the nerd constantly complains about his eldritch boyfriend’s habit of needing to sustain himself via recording his emo slam poetry.

Has tumblr been randomly crashing within 5 minutes of closing the app for anyone else? It’s getting annoying, it keeps dying right as i follow a notification to read a post (closing the notification) or while im scrolling through long threads of images (sending the post into the abyss forever… still mad about the tma comic i can never finish reading)
S1E2 The End of the World: The Lonely
You’d think an episode with that name would be the End or the Extinction, but it reeks of the Lonely. Rose is surrounded by aliens. The only other human around is Cassandra, and she’s no prize. Rose realizes everyone she loves is dead. The Doctor talks about Gallifrey for the first time (not counting Doctors 1-8, this is all going to be 9 onward). The extremely Lonely scene at the end where Rose is standing still while a crowd of people walk around her. It’s got elements of End, Corruption, Vast, and Desolation, but the Lonely truly rules this episode.

Assigning tma fears to every doctor who episode (starting with the 9th doctor and going onward)! I plan to watch every episode basically chronologically but we’ll see how it plays out.
The Distortion would have become Helen regardless of if it had ever become Michael or not.
Think about it. Real estate is a pretty fun place to be an erronious door. Helen Richardson would probably have walked through as in canon, even without Michael to lure her in, and we know that her reaction was to make a map. So she makes a map, gets taken back after giving her Statement, (Jon never gets the “do you even know they’re lying to you” warning,) and she Becomes. Ta-da, Helen Distortion, no Michael involved at all.
the map gertrude gave to michael of Zemlya Sannikova was one of those mazes you see on kids' menus at restaurants, btw
i have a mysterious incredibly vivid memory of my mom saying... something to me in the parking lot of this one specific shopping center, sort of in the middle back of the lot but a bit to the side, and I was getting out of the back right seat of the car. I am reminded of it every time I go to that parking lot and am getting out of the right seats of any car. what was being said? i have no bloody clue
Wow. That’s a hell of a reblog. Nice tags there, past sleep-deprived me

and so obviously in addition to there being several rp accounts for each character theres also been an avalanche of ppl making twitter accounts for their ‘tmasonas’ who are generally institute employees which is fun but yesterday i noticed that as a general rule all the OC accounts seem pretty in the know re: the deal with the archives/entities/etc. and i started thinking like… what would a twitter account look like for an institute employee that just genuinely has NO idea. is just 100% oblivious to like an almost impressive degree. so i made one and here are some highlights
