Pine Martin: Tiny adorable bear who should be protected and treasured
Martin: Tiny adorable bear who should be protected and treasured
Yup
amen
Spitting facts
Martin protection squad
Yeah!!
Martin: "You should get some sleep"
Jon: Proceeds to record another file
Jon: "I'm... very tired"
Something I noticed a lot in these stories is that the horror comes from just being in the wrong place at the wrong time, so avoiding it is almost impossible. I think that adds to the cosmic dread
Glad to know I'm not the only one who analyzes what makes this scary
Because they don't always do the thing that horror movies teach you not to do. They generally actually behave sensibly and try to just mind their own business but it doesn't help! You are incredibly correct
except for that one dude in "Do Not Open" he just went "fuck nope" for a whole year and got off scot-free (so far...)
And then you have the old guy from Episode 10 who's just like "Hey guys, I'm Trevor, I'm homeless, and I've been killing vampires since I'm a child" :D
He could have avoided his fate if he left after he started sweating and wanting to gag
jon stop being mean to martin challenge
Jon start loving Martin challenge
jon stop being mean in general but ESPECIALLY to martin challenge
...failed...
He succeeded in the end!
i dont get why jon talked about martin like a soldier in the trenches talking about his horse of a wife back at home
Man, old lady Getrude _really_ pissed someone off, didn't she?
So was the photo of the lady a picture of Gertrude?
Alternative hypothesis:
The Archivist may be an arcane mantle of some significant power. Always watching, always listening, always recording...
If this is the case, a photograph of Gertrude would be a sensible component in a formation to seal away an ancient evil.
@@ishner Interesting theory. :D
@@ishner If that is the case, then whoever picked him for it and didn't fill him in on that side of things is a DICK.
@@pyrosianheir so Elias Is a dick. Considering it would make sense for him to choose who would be the archivist?
"The magnus archives tells the tale of an environmental officer getting somewhat hot and bothered-" RUSTY QUILL. I CANT BELIEVE YOU SLID THAT IN THE DESCRIPTION. I AM CRYING
HOW DID NOBODY SEE THIS BEFORE. THIS STATEMENT IS ABOUT SOMEONE LIGHTING THEMSELVES ON FIRE i cannot describe the emotions i am having rn.
this is so goofy lmfao im gonna have to go back and look at the other descriptions now!
Literally the only reason I came into the comments lmao 🥵🥵🥵
"Somewhat"
Markus "they looked normal! Like you'd expect! I don't know what else you want." Me: THEY WERE ONE VOICE TALKING THROUGH TWO BODIES IN INTERVALS!
Also just saying, they're the delivery guys for the 2nd episode with the casket. They were described in that exact same way.
And the guys that took the Caliope.
Idk man sounds normal to me
...wait did you just call Martin "Markus"
MARKUS FUGGIN HA!
Ecologist: *describes a large clearing surrounded by a circle of trees with an altar in the centre
Me, currently living in scotland: DON'T STEP INSIDE THE FAE RING
Ecologist: I didn't have to but I did it
Me: I miss "not my coffin, not my funeral" guy from Do not open
Episode 2 guy was so smart 😭
honestly when the ecologist guy go "i didn't deserve any of this". im just here like "my guy, have then why did you fucketh around and findeth out"
I immediately thought druids tbh 💀
So far he was the only one who actually used his brain lol
I have never heard of Joshua Gillespie being described with “Not my Coffin, Not my Funeral” And I’m using that!!!
Do you think the parent lit himself on fire in the hopes that the kid would be left alone? That's really sad =(
Hey, seems like it worked!
Yea, I guess the curse was broken coz once you’re dead you can’t love anyone
It actually makes sense, I guess, cause what if this curse thing was attached to him when he entered the circle, I mean the water he wanted to drink started boiling, the car he drove went up in flames, the house he lives in burned down.... what if this burning curse is inside him and everything he comes in contact with for too long just...you know
It's called burnt offering. An offering is something given willingly. He burnt himself instead of his son. He offered himself as the sacrifice.
That's what I thought. It's sad, but at the same time something you would expect a loving father to do.
You have no idea how happy I was when I heard Ethan was okay.
But then you also immediately get hit with the "living in a foster family" and youre like "......oh :("
North: (accidentally drops a bottle)
Whatever entity that loved that bottle: *And now, buddy, you have officially taken it too far*
Random guy: *breaks bottle*
Entity: ... and I took that personally
take a shot anytime any character says something along the lines of "i could have [insert smart option], but i didn't. instead, i [insert option that granted them nothing but trauma]," or if they describe something as a figure
Jon : Aw Shit! Here we go again
I would, but I can't live through that much alcohol
Take a shot when they say "I suppose..."
"I don't know what I was expecting."
"But [their] curiosity always has been too much for [their] own good"
This was a good one. That father was a fucking boss. "Want a burnt offering? Fine. I got just the thing. Now where did I put that petrol...?". Sacrificing himself to save his son. Glorious. The man didn't deserve it, but he certainly had his priorities straight.
YALL I'M GONNA CRY. I didn't think I was ever going to get attached to Jon because he seemed like a pretentious douchebag, but at the end when he's like, "I don't know what this means... I don't know what any of this means... I'm very tired..." I'm like, "Boy, get some sleep you are literally hurting me and my empathy feelings rn."
I loved him for his sass and now I'm crying for his sleep. Please darling baby go to bed ❤
"Jon, take a nap", is basically the tag line of the latter half of the series.
Jon's voice at the end really broke my heart, I hope he'll be ok by the end of all this.
Well... Define “okay”... 😬
@@TheNitpickChick I finished the series a while ago and he didn't end up ok by any definition :(
ineedmoresalmon I mean... he’s still alive..? And he has Martin with him..? So that’s at least something.
But yeah. Jon’s not okay. 😞
@@ineedmoresalmon2475 well the series isnt even done yet !
@@TheNitpickChick
Haven’t finished the series but I’m super relieved to hear Martin and John are okay, that’s all I needed
..... I have this unsettling feeling that this is somehow related to first aid but I can't prove anything other than the burning and the boiling liquids.
I thought the same thing!
Yeah and the jacket thing and also that he feels like he is burning
wait, what about the 2 business men on a hiking trip? that could have been the 2 guys
@@riverunderhilll2018 yep we might be onto something here
Unlikely to be the same 2- one is/was Jerrod, who killed the other. There may be a cult involved.
"We are not in the business of destroying knowledge."
... I'm gonna guess thst doesn't end well for someone....
Ah but consider......the knowledge
@@jackbelmont4389 this
fun fact: Before I started listening I thought this podcast was about the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexual Research. Talk about destroyed knowledge, huh?
9 months ago, you probably know now that you were riiiight!! That being said, what do you think would have happened if Jon said "you know what? You're right. I'll get an axe." right then and there?
@@fruitygarlic3601 "Make your statement, face your kink."
Martin is so sweet, I just can't
The reoccurring themes and incidents are so interesting. Theres the burning mentioned here. The rotten meat or corpses covered in that yellow rot. And the bugs for certain. Darkness is also a big thing the light bulbs bursting or being unscrewed. The library of course. And although there is no real tie the shapeshifting students remind me an awful lot of not Graham. Finally and most frequently, there's the eye, the difference between open and closed is interesting but it appears so so often. I just feel like I need one of the string boards to tie this all together
The closed eye appears to be related to the darkness, the open eye to the burning, from what I can tell anyway,
You're close to the truth
Also the mist! which seemsto be related to the lukas family...spooky things are going on...
Gerard has open eye tatoos, they seemed to protect him from the burns.
So the closed eye is probably releted to darkness, while the open one is maybe not even good, but surely better.
This comment section right here has some top notch theories, just saying
jon: looked exactly like you'd expect. useless..
martin, meekly: s-sorry
me, whispering: i will protect you with my life,,
My brain took a while to process he wasn’t just calling the delivery men useless lmfaooo
Martin's voice is so soft 😢😢
This is one of the saddest ones so far. Especially the bit where he says he didn't do anything to warrant all of it, yet it's still happening.
Oh WHY was 'Special thanks to Samantha Emery' SO *UNSETTLING?*
AHHH
i wasn't ready
only Samantha Emery knows that
The daughter of gertrude
Yeaaah it felt creepy sonehow
Guys, I'm worried about Jon for real now this does NOT seem like it's going to end well.
I'm still thinking about a comment from several episodes ago, Sarah's statement, Distortion; it pointed out that Michael only ever mentioned Tim, Martin and Jon, not Elias, potentially suggesting that Elias is not to be trusted
I clicked on a timestamp in the comments after finishing the episode. And I got an insurance ad that began with "Imagine losing everything, even though you did nothing wrong." AND THAT'S A LIL TOO CLOSE TO THIS EPISODE BUDDY
_Progressive, protect your home and auto even when they're destined, beyond the forces of the universe, to burn._
Jon gets a lighter last episode and records a transcription from a man cursed to burn in this one.
Inexplicable burning happened earlier with those two men in the clinic and there was that woman bound to a tree that was burned to death at the same time the tree was. Not sure how they link together but they certainly seem to.
In episode 14 (one where that nurse got two burn victims) one of them had a zippo light with an eye on it. Jon just got a zippo lighter with a spider web design.
I love how chipper his voice is while reading 'Heck, I even saw a friend of mine getting impaled on a fallen tree once.'
Okay so this ritual thing definitely reminds me of that cult. Yk, the one in which the guy went into the church in the graveyard trying to find out the roommate of his gf... I completely forget their names lol. I think it's said in that episode that Gertrude died in that some church (or was it somebody theorising int he comments?) But whatever it is I think Gertrude's death is related to those weird cult people
three minutes in and jon is making some serious horror movie mistakes here >:(((
Ikr??? Like, if anyone was supposed to be genre savvy you'd *think* it would be the guy that works in the institute that studies the supernatural
And *yet*...
@@unicornilluminati9019 [spoiler]
To be fair he turned out to be right about the table being important. But then he destroyed it--after listening to the tape that revealed that the table was important. So still not smart.
Idk, destroying things don’t seem to end well in horror movies either. Just look at what happened in This episode.
@@eliwhite6159
Sleep deprivation and frustration is a hell of a combo
@@unicornilluminati9019 and then the fun part is he gets punished for being genre savvy later on with the same table lmao
It makes me sad that only 2000 other people of the 7 billion in the world have listened to these archives... I'm addicted!
If it makes you feel better they are available from other sources
i believe The Magnus Archives is fairly popular, just not really here on TH-cam
Wow that number shot up in a year
It’s now the most popular fiction podcast :)
When the Reckoning comes we shall be the Spared.
Poor Jon, he seems really tired.
martin SHALL be protected, and I'll fricking die trying.
idk why but ''babysitting a dead guy'' made me laugh so hard
15:20
"All I did was meddle with a bottle"
I'm pretty sure that's less of a curse and moreso you ruined a carefully set up ward. Unfortunately for this nimrod magic exists in this world to some extent, and when you break magic it tends to lash out at you. Violently. Dude basically set off a tornado, I don't even think the cultists could save him if they wanted to.
opposite of a ward
He died to save his son:( Also Gertrude would have been dead sooner if he hadn't interfered.
Everyone: Destroy the table.
Jon: That's not a good idea.
Jon later: AXE!
No one listened to that statement very well.
In hindsight, Jon's reaction to lock the table up was the right one. (He really should have kept to not listening to Elias).
Second i heard "an old Woman" i immediately knew who it had to be given that setup.
Man i cant wait for whats up there.
My first thought was the kind murder lady, Angela :D
Oh boy its me, a cosmic entity of fire and suffering and death, out on a lovely stroll during this nice summer day, and I'm so glad that my photograph and bottle collecting hobby has helped me cope with my anger management issues, allowing me to no longer feel the crippling need to inflict psychological- and/or bodily harm on innocent bystanders. I sure hope nothing whacky or uncharacteristic has happened to my collection, but I better check on it just to be su-
So does that table mean that the terrifying "Not Graham" will come for Jonny boi's soul?!!?
Well I'm pretty sure the creature that helped his assistant with the colony was "not Graham" and it seems he wants to help.. somehow.. whatever that means
Why are you replying to my comments at, like, 4 am?
@@sandymcneish7820 lol it's 2 am where i am. and lets just say i'm having a bit of a sleepless night.
...got it
Oh shoot- I'm just re-reading the comments after ep 40 and I'm NOT GONNA SPOIL ANYTHING, but a fact wouldn't even occur to me if it weren't for this comment and I thank you very very much
"I'm... tired." F, me too buddy
i have a theory on why jon reads the statements the way he does.... HE WANTED TO BE A DRAMA KID BUT NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO :O
Jon theater kid confirmed
Both Elias and Martin suggested destroying the table? Interesting.
can't wait to see where all of this leads
oh it leads down a spooky hallway
Was anyone else terrified by the “special thanks” given at the end?
“Might as well get some use out of it.... ah, pboo..” hdnsks that’s cute
Pine Martens aren't bears-- they're mustelids (the weasel family)
It's an error that's weaselly made.
I'm guessing that the guy wanted to explain it the same way as he does to his four year old son?
Weasels sound boring. Very small bears sound cool.
Martin Blackwood deserves the world
not me tearing up at jons voice at the end oh god
My boy John sounds so tired that it breaks my heart :(((
Martin is just so precious and needs to be treasured
Oh yikes...Imagine the start you get hearing your son's name in one of these stories 😳
When I heard Inverness my heart did a little thing because I live so close and you never really hear about it in the media or anything online
I'm yet to find a story what truly scare me, but this one made me sad. From the beginning I felf shivers just from the thought of trying so hard to save your loved ones and failing every time. Love the theory what the man burned himself alive to keep his son safe. And glad it worked if it's true
Spoiler
It's actually really interesting to me how the whole "the archives are a temple to the eye and only watching and never engaging is our thing" thing was so heavily foreshadowed yet I didn't get it until it was all laid out by leitner or well,,,,, even a bit earlier in early s2
OH NO, ROBINSON
oho what's this? Jonathan Sims showing emotion??
i just looked up what a pine martin is its so cute man
pine MARTIN lol
jawn is so tired give him hugs :(((
Why'd u spell it like that
@@SunnyCapricious cos its funny
Sorry but when I see "Jawn" all I can think of is John Watson
The goddamn Sherlock fandom I swear
@@sknfmsmr ME TOO ITS WHY I SAID IT LIKE THAT
the wordplay here is too powerful
Being Wiccan/pagan while listening to this is really cool those jars were definitely sour jars/hexes
I love how the episode used knowledge of actual practices and didn’t just do stereotypes and Hollywood magic
A year on and you may not respond, however I will ask anyways. Could you satiate my curiosity and explain the jsr magicks?
@ademort8124 @lordtoademort8124 There is no true occult anymore--there is a Wikihow to create a "sour jar" to hurt someone. The "sour" is to sour their life. The jar is just a containment device for the sympathetic items--like the photo. Based on this, the spell jars were transmitting the harm of the altar circle to the subject--Gertrude. Its possible that breaking the jar didn't do anything, the man may have doomed himself just by entering. Its also possible the jars were diverting the energy, lessening the full force, which is why he didn't immediately die upon approaching the altar surrounded by dead animals (unless the animals were trapped there by a deliberate sacrifice). And, although the man claimed he didn't think he could be MORE cursed by taking the photo, HE DIDN'T KNOW SHIT, and it is very possible taking the photo with him made him like the jars, a focal point for the already devoted magic. Sacrificing himself or Gertrude's death may have been what made the photo harmless from then on.
EDIT: Reminder. If magic worked, more rich people would be dead. Don't waste your time.
"Original statement given August 6th"
Oh hey it's my birthday ! I bet it's going to be a great episode !
"Would you rather watch my son burn so you can take notes ?"
Oh.
I just realized it's my sister's birthday too... welp spooky
Who is writing these episode descriptions lol "n environmental officer who became somewhat hot and bothered "
"we're not in the business of destroying knowledge" this is hilarious from a season 5 point of view
i'm barely scratching the surface of season 1 (currently listening to ep38) and listening for the first time but these future seasons sound extremely chaotic
@@phantomkapok felt
Welp. I guess the dad broke the curse by dying which is why his son didnt die. Also THE "there is one thing tho" that john always adds is such a bruh moment.
"We have absolutely no proof that anything supernatural happened there... except for this one super creepy thing that can't be logically explained at all" lol
Trees, extreme heat for seemingly no reason, preserved dead things all around... if I didn’t know any better I’d say it was Agnes but she died two years prior to this statement...
SO CLOSE~
The circle of trees and the iron nails give me fairy circle vibes. I know circles are typically marked by toadstools instead, but the iron nails make me think the fire curse Jason got was being trapped inside.
Can't decide if it would be better to have destroyed the table here or worse. Gut says worse, since they wouldn't be able to handle it in the same way that they end up doing...
6:58 did someone get the reference to "the first hunt"?
Omg u r right!!
jon please go to sleep challenge
I hope you're having fun with season 2 :')
@@Ella-gj7vr oh ive finished the whole thing :)) having a lot of fun indeed :))
John get a hug challenge
I love how Martins va is also the irl director
Hint based spoilers below
Elias advised you to destroy the table did he..doesn’t that bit hit different now.
Imagine if Jon had stuck with his "ignore what Elias suggests" position.😅
First time listener here, the “Middle aged business man” that north described sounds like jourgen leightner.
As soon as they describe the picture I knew it would be the predecessor to John!
I can't remember which one, but remember when someone killed someone who was chanting something about a lightless flame, which caused things to heat up and boil? It sounds like it could be the same thing
Martin is a baby and must be protected. He's so sweet :(
Jon sounds so tired and sad : (
Why does Jon get so in-character? It's like he somehow channels the feelings of the original person that told the story
you'll find out later
This is the second time people get hurt by they own stupidity. Rule #1 folks: NEVER (EVER) interrupt a spell/curse/magic ritual. You can lose parts of your body, be burned alive or worst
Martin is adorable and I love him-
It's Martin again
This makes me so uncomfortable, I’m in the North of Scotland and my favourite thing is literally walking through forests 😭
Beware the Pine Martins O_O
@@Badficwriter Ohhh trust me, it’s the Seagulls you need to fear here, they are BIG, I’ve been attacked many times
Is it the same delivery guys from the ep with the coffin the guy had to look after?
I am a first time listener, but I have a feeling that keeping the table is not going to turn out well.
Burning feeling without there actually being fire? Seems familiar.
I'm a first time listener, started this yesterday and I can agree, it doesn't seem like a good idea
Protect Martin squad💃
Also Gertrude clearly pissed a lot of people off
Martin: We should destroy that table
Jon: No. We don't destroy knowledge.
Ooof... I forgot this conversation happened. For those who are viewing this for a second time and know about the Not!fun stuff about that table... What do you think would have happened if Jon just gave it the axe right at this point? Would the um... "outcome" have been better or worse than the cannon? I'll add my two bits as a reply later.
Considering that the table was binding NotSasha, it would've been worse. It would've been so much worse.
@@kellanlevi5663 Would it? If everyone was ready for something to happen as they chucked it into the wood chipper, they might have actually had a chance against the Not!thing. It doesn't attack out in the open. Only when someone is isolated around it.
That being said, if they took their stupid pills and destroyed it IN the Archives, the Not!thing would have been lurking in the archives... and i hate to say it, if it got its pick... it probably would have taken Tim.
Each time an artifact is delivered to the Archives it's Elias' doing and ment to facilitate marking the Archivist. If Jon had destroyed the table immediately the NotThem would have been released and likely started stalking Jon. Sasha may not have been killed and replaced by it, but it definitely would've tried to kill the Archivist as soon as it could. Season 1 Jon was even less prepared to deal with the NotThem then season 2 or 4 Jon. It took until Full Power Mode was unlocked for Jon to kill the NotSasha.
What happened with the table last time? I forgot what episode it was from
It was from Across The Street, episode 3! It was the table at Graham's house and I think it vanished...? I don't really remember
Sorry Im a little late and I don't know if you've already come back to listen again to the episode x) I wondered last episode when it came up if Not!Graham had gotten rid of the table like the notebooks of Graham when he... switch places with him? But I listened again and the woman -Amy- doesn't say anything about the table, only that he seemed to have changed the decoration of the flat.
So, I see two solutions here ; either Not!Graham shipped it to Jonh with the B&H compagny, but that begs the questions as to why, and how come every living supernatural creatures hates the Archivist lol ; or Not!Graham got rid of it when he stole Graham's life, and B&H somehow got it, but then again why send it to John especially? He's the Archivist, sure, and that seems important. But he's not the "boss" around, that'd be Elias...
@@itstictac2825 maybe because the table is dangerous? Idk but I feel it. First time watching, so I'm not sure about it but the table and it's description make me feel uneasy.
The fricking jump scare with the special thanks at the end.
I love Martin 🥰
All the voice actors are great but Martin's really does an awesome job at making me wanna protect him.
relistening from the beginning of the series. So interesting to go back and realize how the voices...changed....
I think this was a curse for Gertrude that transfered to North the same way it did in ep 14 Piecemeal
So, it sounds like the same delivery men who delivered the table, are those who delivered the coffin in the second episode
When I think of the delivery men, I can not help but imagine Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum from the original animated Alice in Wonderland. Idky
Man I'll start to carry a list of what not to do in a scary place
honestly i think the best advice is: just leave as fast as possible, and for the love of god, don't touch anything.
Can we notice how much anger Jon were at the beginning. It was not only acting for the podcast it was really an exutoire
Is Jason perhaps the 2nd burn victim we meet in the hospital alongside Gerard Key? Gerard kills him, but just thinking, if Jason was linked to something ritualistic (as heard here), then his chanting in the hospital makes sense!!
So, that’s another instance of the ‘invisible flame’.
First with the theatre tech guy.
Then at the hospital.
Then the construction worker.
Now here.
I’m sure there have been others too.
Oh my word is this podcast brilliant!!
Bro... Man's took the brunt of a curse intended for gurtude man if you ever find funky jars in the woods walk the fuck away.
My jaw dropped with the name at the end!
Good on him for not loving his phone
Take note from the guy in episode 2
Man, this ep was sad. One slip of a bottle and everything was gone.
Also, Gertrude being there is .....oddly interesting.
Spoiler for MAG 160
I get it Jonah wanted Jon to get marked by all the Fears, but why advising to destroy the table? I doubt the Archives staff would've been able to handle both Jane Prentiss and Not!Them back-to-back. Unless I'm missing something
Spoiler in general
I think he might be trying to see if Jon would "Know" stuff and refuse because of it. Either that or he thought he could deal with it but that seems unlikely
@lemonace6695 still spoilers
I feel like it's too early for Jon to Know stuff, and Jonah would've realised that. I got the impression that he was surprised when in s3 Jon just Knew that Jerry worked with Gertrude
Still more spoilers:
The NotThem would have been a very dangerous first encounter but Jonah is very much a "trial by fire" type of manager. At this point Jon is being tested to see if he has the making of an Archivist. Jonah does say later (in his statement) that he intended a baptism by fire to make sure he'd chosen a suitably hard to kill Archivist.
It's crazy that Jon survives his early encounters.
It's his own insatiable curiosity and recklessness that put him in so many situations that cause Jon to be so quickly and repeatedly marked; thus developing is powers so quickly.
