Me 🤜🏻🤛🏻 Helen: thinking Jon and Martin are an adorable couple
so true 🤜
All of us 🤜
So true 😭🤜
"i am not, nor have i ever been, 'adorable'," insists jon, adorably.
Everyone who says that is automatically adorable
"Martin: not true!"
This added a decade to my lifespan
Possibly the best quote of the series.

‘Statement of Joe Spooky regarding Sinister happenings’
@@yumiendercat3685 😂😂😂
The sound of heels clicking as Helen went back through her door implies she wears heels and I LOVE that for her
Despite being the entity of confusion The Spiral keeps a clear dress code for its avatars.
@@fruitygarlic3601 implying that Michael wore heels, which I adore
hello i would just like to inform you that when i read this i pictured helen jumping and clicking her heels in the air instead of, you know, just heels on wood
@@s1ren_exe that’s so fucking funny
@@s1ren_exe I thought of that too 💀
"A post apocalyptic google"
I lost my shit when I heard that. The funniest fucking thing I have ever heard XD
See, even terribly xenophobic fungal villagers wear masks!
I love the visual of Jon and Martin trudging along with Helen's door bouncing along behind them like a cartoon and they're completely oblivious to it
Haha i just pictured that in my head😂😂
every time they stop it stops too, then they keep walking and _cartoon spring noises_
@@f_mva And every time they turn around it vanishes just to pop up again after they go back to walking
Crap I can't unthink it!
like the scarecrow in Howl's moving castle lmao
"Sorry to love you and leave you, but I must dash," Helen has my heart
i really really hoped martin would kind of just be like "okay helen, byeee" like, i fully would do that if it were me
@@lel1160 seems like the kinda thing he'd do
I have a quick question guys but just for clarification since this series is Really Fucking Long: was Helen the one introduced in one of Gertrude's tapes, where she was the little girl that got a new, strange neighbor and escaped her house to go investigate and was angry that the doctor was using their evil powers on patients to steal their money instead of going full psychopath on them?
@@Dani_1012 No, that would be Mary Keay, Gerard's mother. Helen is introduced in episode 47 where she attempts to sell a house but is tricked by Michael into entering his realm. In episode 101 she takes the place of Michael and becomes the Distortion, thus becoming who she is now
@@JustinLaieatsbacon That makes sense, thank you
Helen definitely ruffled Martins hair after saying "I always knew you crazy kids would made it work" like an overly fond mother/aunt figure
TRUE
how old is she to be calling them kids? lmao. cause jon is 40. guess shes a grandma (or maybe thats a figure of speech)
@@thedistinguished5255the distortion is as old as time lmao
@@table2.0 i was thinking helen but i guess she isnt helen huh
agsjdg yea!! but i think its just a figure of speech lol, at least thats how I interpret it!!
@@thedistinguished5255
"i am not nor have i ever been adorable" "not true" they make my heart warm,,
❤😍 I love imagining Martin thinking about how adorable Jon is
Statement of Jonathan Sims before the House Unamerican Activities Committee.
I know it’s spooky with the apocalypse and all but I do find Martin and Jon’s interactions adorable and it just kinda brightens it up a bit
the takeaway here is that we can still find love and joy
Even if we all life in an apocalypse
Heheh oh if it wasn't there would be nothing to be afraid nothing to lose a world like that would be hell but not a world of fear.
“Of course I’ll tell you if I see any interesting cows”
@@thrawnnoconnection6931 the best interaction between them
Okay, so Melanie's free from the Eye, and Georgie literally cannot feel fear, so it's reasonable to assume that the Eye has little to no power over them. Maybe that's why Jon can't see them?
That was from the before times tho
@@Catglittercrafts but still applies to present tho
How does it feel to be so completely correct
Ohh okay. I completely forgot about that and was like "Did Georgie blind herself too???"
can't the eye see through anything that represents an eye? So theoretically it could look through some street camera or the neighbours neighbour or something? hmm
I love Martin's attitude. "My boyfriend is so powerful he would break an extra dimensional horror. Crap I guess I we gotta walk then. Hm. Maybe we can make friends?"
helen distortion said 👏 OTP 👏
Hellen embodies all of the JohnxMartin shippers listening 😅
I laughed way too hard when that happened.
Martin calling Jon's supernatural need to record the horrors of the apocalypse his "guidebook"
Helen: “I always knew you crazy kids would make it work!”
Martin: “Thanks 😊”
Jon: “Martin😑”
This just nails everything I love about Corruption stories. Body horror, the toxicity of human relationships, Jon's amazing writing and performance. And then we get Helen at the end. Yay Helen.
"Toxicity of human relationships..." I love it! I always thought of this one as being about the xenophobic idea of having a "pure" society, but that's a really interesting interpretation that I haven't thought about before.
@@datfisheboi6519 I mean, look at some of the Corruption stories we've had. Love Bombing, the story of the guy with his little beetle, the way the Flesh Hive preyed on Prentiss? Hell even Maggie's Dump. That level of decay and corruption isn't limited to the physical - it's one of the reasons I love Corruption stories.
I thought Helen was the spiral. I’m confused
@@coraa232 she is.
Ky0dar is that the same as the desolation??
they're really rubbing it in our faces that jonmartin is canon and I LOVE it
"WHO WAS PHONE"
-Martin, the apocalpyse, 2020
DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUN
Snuck a meme in, for those who are observant.
As a nonbrit, this story has got to be the most British horrorstories I have ever heard.
Honestly that's the best compliment for the brits
Really? It rather struck me as quite Salem-esque!
I gotta say, the writing style is really great. There are so many beautiful descriptions of somewhat normal things. "sepia sunshine" and "the scorch arks at the base of the may pole get darker" stood out to me here.
I cannot believe the K in Martin K Blackwood doesn't stand for anything. Amazing.
it stands for king and sometimes knife

@@everythingcoffee8901 Martin Kartin BartinWartin
I'm really digging how they use second person perspective, it's not common, but RQ executed it really well!
Reminds me of Good Omens' Crowley when he named himself "Anthony J. Crowley" and the J also didn't stand for anything lmao
Okay but if the gang did know Jon would be the cause of the apocalypse- I'm 100% sure they would have killed him (specifically Melanie and Basira).
Daisy would have murder him so hard
He probably would have let them...
@@ToastyMcMarshmallow geez thanks for hurting me even more with that realization
the fact that Elias might just find someone else to take his place or do it himself though....
It would have delayed it though. Which was kinda what they were doing anyway with the other rituals.
"i always knew you crazy kids would make it work" "thanks" these are so great
Okay so Helen phrased it well, John sees facts but doesn't always comprehend them, he doesn't always have perspective. He _does_ deserve Martin
OH MY GOD THE JONMARTIN CONTENT IN THIS ONE IS THE BEST
You're why I'm watching this it was You're tumblr that made me curious
Other than distorted Helen's shipping, I rly like 18:29 for the really mild hurt/comfort thing they had going :)
Ah yes the one that hit too close to home
Tbh this entire season has been hitting pretty close to home
@@datfisheboi6519 It gets WOORSSSEEEE
@@datfisheboi6519 the Corona shit lmaoo
before the season aired i remember alex saying something like "so..... we might have.... accidentally hit on some uhh current topics in this season..... just a heads up... i swear we didn't do it on purpose"
@@WeAreAirborne Confirmed Rusty Quill can look into the future
It's corona time bois
Mom take me home, I'm scared o~o
the way martin says "thanks" after helen says "i knew you crazy kids would make it work"
martin's such a treasure
Distortion Helen is the original Jonmartin shipper
damn theworld may be in an apocalypse hellscape but martin and jon make an adorable couple.... helen had a point there
wow, corruption, huh? those crraaazy kids, haha..
Definitely not my favorite children (with the exception of Jane)🤷🏻♀️
I love how by at this point Jon has gone full circle and it's safe to say he's now going full theatre kid
Oh, I get it now. The sickness in the village isn't the fungal disease.
I have no idea why, but this comment gives off sober stoner vibes.
@@biancamlf288 Whoa. like totally dude
@@biancamlf288 let's just say the seeds of doubt grow deeper then any fungal infectious roots
I feel like this episodes "statement" is propably the most obvious as being symbolism for society and all that jazz. its quite interesting a clever. also I just realised that the name "the corruption" also has a double meaning, it can either mean physical corruption like all the filth, disease, bugs etc but it can also be seen as corruption of the mind, corruption of power. man this entire thing is so freakin well made!!!!
It's also about toxic relationships (episode with Agape the dog), anything that's literally or metaphorically toxic, poisonous, sick/sickening applies
The Jon and Martin content here is fulfilling the void left by the Lonely Martin from last season
life imitates art
You DIDNT-
Wait what?
@@alphalilly8207 S5 was conceptualized and written long before 2020. Pretty sure that's what they're refrencing.
I feel that the council's masks being blue red and white is a reference to a certain place, and I'm in love with the parallel drawn.
I thought of the UK flag but uh I'm not so sure. What parallel did you saw ?
@@macabrecitrus2127 it could literally be any red white and blue flag, but I first thought of The Netherlands
@@fruitygarlic3601 well, I was thinking about Britain's oil obsessed little brother, but tbf, both apply.
I'll never not find it hilarious how the colors of red white and blue so often stand for freedom, until their flashing behind you 👍
I'm from the US, could be us, corruption sells :-/
Helen and auntie energy can have my whole heart
She is a ball of pure expressive energy
Helen's shippy comments are the perfect counterweight to this season's darkness.
y'all talkin about the 'i have never been adorable' line but refusing to address the top comedy of martin's 'haha, ok jon 😉'
This makes me think that the people who have always been beaten down by sociaety are probably coping better than others in this world of terror, because what's different really? Physics? The poor, the bullied, the discriminated, the abused, they've always lived in fear and misery, not knowing if they'll live another day. But those who have always been privileged in society... oh, they must be feeding the entities such delicious fear.
Nah, I'm pretty sure everyone feels fear. Some just pretend better.
They must still feel some fear but I do agree they must be coping much better than the ones who hadn't gone through any adversary
Mrs. Kim being targeted because her grandfather was the first of her family in the "village" hits differently now. Ouch.
Helen: *manifests* hey sisters ❤️✨
Here it is: my favorite episode
Before listening im seeing this comment and im scared
Before listening I was like Nope it's 111 with all the exposition! But now I can't agree more
Oh god me too!
Well... as an American, hearing that "they brought it from outside to get us" part of the monologue was a bit too real compared to what all the jack-wagons have been saying in the last year... o.O
Just got advertisment about antibotics. Sorry youtube, I think it´s too late for this village
okay, two thing:
-Martin think that Jon is ADORABLE. He sees this 5'4 twink full of scars, who look like he hasn't slept in 3 weeks, and think he's adorable ❤❤❤
-DID HELEN JUST ADMITED SHE SHIPPED THEM ???
It's scary that this was probably written well before the pandemic and it was so relatable with the whole situation. Also, Helen became my favorite character now, thats nonnegotiable
Somehow I thought witnessing something even close to cute flirting in a weirdmageddon would be jarring but these two continue to surprise me
not Helen being the voice of the entire fandom
OK BUT DID THE DUCKS GOT MOLDY TOO ?!
That's crucial information
Man he’s really speedrunning the Magnus Archives Copyright these days
Today on the magnus archives; Jon and Martin play pathologic
How doesn't this series have millions more views baffles me.
in fairness, TH-cam isn't the primary platform these are meant to be released on
I think most people just moved to other platforms to catch up on tma.
I thought so too-- turns out youtube isn't its main platform; it IS getting millions of views
im p sure it gets like 4 mil downloads a month across other platforms, their yt is not the primary platform used for their podcasts!
@@insertcleverusename8965 what's the main platform then?
Helen really just popped by to say gay rights, huh?
I really like how the "statments" now are not just about someone's experience or encounter with a fear, but a collective representation of that fear through the eyes of many. It's not just about one person. It's from the 3rd person and about many differnt people.
Has a sense of finality to it honestly.
And these statements have been my favorite so far. Showing the true form of the fears. Discribed in agonizing detail. I love it!
Every one of these that i listen to I draw it in my sketchbook. It's pretty fun XD
i imagine one day jon starting his vent with "dear diary...."
The way this touches on the core of societal corruption is pure genius. Combined with the presennt situation it becomes even more powerful...!
Literally! Like the Corruption easily has to be one of my favourite fears for its symbolism (and the way it fittingly makes my skin crawl).
“Sorry to love you and leave you, but I must dash.” Helen, I love you.
Johnny's really serving us piping hot tea huh? Also, what did Martin say his middle name was?
He doesn't have one LOL
It’s just K. Lol no name, just an initial.
as in what was the fake name he gave jon?
@@mr.kittybear9114 i think you're a bit late asking for details...

You cheeky bastards...
John and Martin‘s tour guide to the apocalypse, taking real statements from viewers like you
I love how much more direct the new season is
Well then, this one was.... Very *real*. Of course the fear of the other is ever present in human history, but that combined with the body horror was truly terrifying. Especially where I live, the consensus of idiots is that it's all "the chinese's fault", and I have seen alot of abuse hurled at people at absolutely do not deserve it. It's not fair. It's not right. It's never right. I hope that one day those who are misinformed by decades of tradition and bias and hatred of that ever present "other" see the error of their ways. I hope they feel guilty. I don't think they will though.
I love the deep denial, because *everyone* is infected, but they're all happy to punish the others for it while hiding their own shame.
It’s spooky how this parallels what’s going on irl
Hellen is just us here, all being like awwe such an adorable couple, because they are!!!! I am on cloud nine
There was too much fluff in this episode- something bad is gonna happen next and im afraid
Me: Omg helen and jon and martin I love them all, amazing episode!
Also me: *Cries in health anxiety*
I love that Helen's best way of getting under Jon's skin is just by saying she's happy he got together with Martin. Jon is totally the kind of boyfriend who blushes and gets embarrassed any time you comment positively on their relationship.
Also, Melanie and Georgie are almost certainly with The Dark if they can't be seen. That's definitely the power I'm most afraid of so I'm not looking forward to those episodes.
I thought Elias being Jonah was a big twist, but now you’re telling me that the K in Martin K Blackwood doesn’t stand for anything?!?!
I was having my breakfast while listening to this. Loved the episode but i always manage to be eating during the really gross ones
"How much further is it?"
"36 more episodes, Martin"
Honestly, hearing Helen call Jon and Martin an adorable couple and just generally shipping them… knowing that they’re together now makes me so happy it almost entirely makes up for the world having gone to shit… almost.
Luckily, the tape cut out just before Jon could list every other person still currently alive
Martin and Jon i love it!!! We need to have this as a tv show! With the same voice actors!!! Amd Helen is soo me! The sarcasm!!
It’s really hard to do a existential surrealism horror type thing visually though.
OH NO THE STORYS TIMING. Tho with the perspective given THIS IS HORRIFYINGLY WELL WRITTEN DAMN.
Cool to see a new side of the corruption: the fear of outsiders “corrupting” your community. Intriguing!
I absolutely love these latest episodes, they’re so direct with it all and these metaphors and short but general stories are so good.
The production in this one is amazing. The sound of flies in the background is a great touch!!
Yes Helen may be a "cruel vicious monster" but she's part of the jonmartin fanclub so she's cool now
This Fandom is pretty gullible.
@@Badficwriter I wasn't aware of it ! Thank you for sharing your opinion ❤
this makes me sad about the immigration policies
Nah that's fine, it doesn't translate 1:1.
To compare immigrants to sick people would be pretty fucked up, the thing about racism is that it is unbased on actual facts - racism is about un-fairness, but if people were actually sick and spread a dangerous corruption disease - then it's really a good idea to not let them in.
wowie "statement of an outbreak" just hits a bit different huh?
and helen voicing like half of the community's feelings about martin and jon. nice.
I love the idea of an apocalypse guidebook
Helen is great, gad to see she's thriving and ships them
the atrocious bad luck of jonny writing this episode then the pandemic starting right as it was due to be released...
All through the statement I had the image of Chapter 2 of Over the Garden Wall in my head. The masks. The may pole. Something fishy going on. Very good.
This is genuinely my favorite episode
Martin, Jon and Helen's dynamic is really fun. And of course Jon can't go through the Corridors, him and all his Knowing you be an awful headache and give Helen indigestion!
PLEASE i love Martin & Helen's banter 😭
Ah what a pleasent break from reality
I can't believe that Martin quoted the famous piece of fiction "Who was phone?"
"Post-apocalyptic google" made me laugh.
Martin literally said "Who was phone"
I love the idea that Jon is the post-apocaliptic google :D
I so feel Martin, even in the apocalypse still trying to make friends
me, living in a british village during the pandemic: 😐
Helen says gay rights
i’m relistening and i still can’t believe how underrated this podcast is
I just love her
Don’t mind me coming to read the comments as I’m listening to ep 164 on the podcast app
why is no one talking about the change in the description?
