Update Stopping Spammers in this Sub: Crowd Control is now on

164 Upvotes

Hey folks!

Seems we're being targeted by multiple bot accounts, reposting every few days to... karma farm? Make their owners feel good? Annoy me? Not really sure.

Regardless, in an attempt to protect this sub from the bots, I've turned on crowd control. This _should_ mean that new accounts and negative karma ones can't post here. I've never tried this before, if you are being blocked and believe you shouldn't be, please reach out to the mod team here, or me directly.

As ever, if anything gets through the cracks, please continue to report it, as that prompts the auto-mod to remove them.

I had some completely black canvases laying around and the urge to make fanart came over me. I am also rapidly running out of black, white, and blue paint, but that might be because practically all I paint is the ocean and space anyway lmao

Also each one is supposed to be based on a statement/multiple statements

I’m about halfway through TMA, and I’ve noticed that most of the Vast statements are from people already drawn to it, like skydivers or divers. Is there any in universe reason/theories yall have for that?

Am I… Elias, am I still human? 🥀

Weekly Magtober Week 3: Monster

Jon didn't even get a chance to rest after his life-threatening experiences with Mike Crew and Daisy, only to get hit by the gutting realization that he isn't even a human being anymore.

Everything he did, every terrible monster he faced, every scar he sustained, he did to try to understand the thing he was becoming. And that fear and desperation only led to the knowledge that he was, in his mind, a monster.

I will never get over Jon's story in TMA 💔

You can view the rest of the series of Jon's bad days over on Tumblr and AO3. And bonus points if you can find the fear entities hidden around Elias's office! Props to u/No-Pianist9277 on pątreøn for giving me that idea!

Discussion Bookbinding question

5 Upvotes

I’m currently working on bookbinding the transcripts and am working out some details in the formatting. In the official transcript Not!Sasha is labeled as such from the moment she appears and when I first listened I was aware it wasn’t her because I listened to the audio credits at the end.

In the current transcript I’m planning on printing she’s labeled as Not!Sasha everytime she speaks. However some of my friends have expressed interest in reading my the transcripts when they are done (they have never listen to the audio befote). So I’m debating going through and changing every label of Not!Sasha into just Sasha to keep it a mystery.

I guess my question is, do you guys think it’s better to keep the mystery of Not!Sasha hidden till the reveal or just keep it how it is?

But is that a bad thing? After all, when we are all gone...the world will still turn. Just...not with us in it.

The Magnus Protocol Relistening to the first season of TMAGP Spoiler

2 Upvotes

And God, I really think the listeners' favoritism toward Alice keeps them from realizing that she makes just as many boneheaded decisions as Sam and Gwen. For instance in the twentieth episode she learns that Fr3-d1 is spying on her and the others just as Colin had warned them yet even after that she doesn't think to simply try communicating with him again, now that they were not only on the same page but reading from the same book. Four episodes later, when he finally reappears, he is acting dangerously aggressive and isn't willing to talk to anyone. At this point, I think it’s safe to say that her fatal flaw is an incredibly slow reaction time.

We all know the classics, e.g. Worm Sex Guy, Bug Wife Man, Homophobic Vase, and who could forget our beloved P.O.U.S. (Pig Of Unusual Size). What other episodes deserve to be summarised badly?

What's also interesting that it was published by Ink-5oul and (for the ones of you who'd been listening to the Protocol) it's extremely funny that spooky tattoo artist who loves creepy designs be strolling through London and just casually post it on social media.

Encounter Low Key Leitner

30 Upvotes

Last night I had a dream about a Leitner that was found. It was like a Time Life magazine but for people who had no lives. It only took people with nothing going on. It took a long time to realize it was cursed because it only triggered if you read the whole thing and obviously had nothing better to do.

I guess it was like the Book of the Dead because it summarized its victims entire lives in a few paragraphs, like a biographical piece, right up until they read the magazine. Then they vanished.

This has to be The Lonely right? Reading a magazine about nobodies who did nothing, only to realize that you're just like them?

I just want to gush about my fave avatar in these series, which happens to be the piper. The design is just so striking (so much so that I would love to cosplay as them)

I’m doing a re listen for spooky season and while I’m a big fan of the core/big bads that have a more stable presence within, I just love the piper. Honestly, probably one of my favorite episodes over all. Espically since it’s so early in the series too, it’s just leaves such a striking mental image.

Encounter I feel like something is coming to get me

21 Upvotes

Entry 1 :

I am not that scared of reading or listening to horror stories at night. I have spent hours listening while working or maybe if it's interesting, I just sat down and listened for hours after midnight. Recently though, I have been going through the Magnus Archives podcast. This time I don't know why it feels different. I know they are stories but I feel a bit of fear. The strangest feeling that I have right now is that, I feel like the noises from the road are somehow originating from my room. I dont know how I could explain it in any other way. I should explain my living situation a bit, my room is on the second floor overlooking the small street. There is a small laundry right under my room. The counter of the laundry is open sort of like a food cart, you can just come over and leave your stuff to be pressed or cleaned. From my balcony I get a clear view of whoever comes up to the laundry.

There's always chattering going on, and I am very used to it. In many ways the chattering and the noises feel comfortable to me. The street doesn't get much traffic at all and it's almost dead silent after midnight. However lately the noises that were supposed to be coming from the street feels like they are originating inside my room. The chatters feel like they are happening right beside me.

I was working on my desk this afternoon when I heard the voice of this woman. I could swear I heard the lady call out to someone and it felt like she was half a feet away from me. I looked over and there was no one. I ran over to the balcony and I saw no lady. Just the bunch of kids who gather regularly to chat with the guy who runs the laundry.

In the evening I went to lie down for a bit, and I heard the horns of a car as though it was coming right at me from the other side of the room. I jumped up and ofcourse there was nothing at the foot of my bed.

If those weren't weird enough, there's this weird shadow that has been lurking right at the edge of my sight. I can see it creeping out of the corner of the bedside table and sometimes from the corner of my bed and as soon as I look at it, it's gone. I was reading a book in bed this morning when I noticed a shadow creeping up from behind my bed and growing along the curtain just a few inches away from my face . As soon as I put the book down to look at it, there was nothing.

I don't feel like I am going mad and I always been able to trust my senses. But, there's just no way I could logically explain these occurrences.

Most of them are pretty self explanatory I feel. The buried is the water and dirt being poured onto the desolation, the flesh is the thick splotch on my middle finger of my left hand (I once accidentally bit a huge chunk of flesh off), the dots on the left hand aren't meant to be knuckle wounds from punching, and the two dots on the inner left arm are vampire bites.

The vast is a little abstract, represented by the wide spread blue on the thumb, which looks almost sky blue.
