The length of the words would imply it's the 160 statement, as well as the placement of contractions, up until "Zgvkag?". But after that, I don't know. If the cipher's one to one, that first part can't be 160, bc there's no repeated letter in the first word, (the double l in hello). If it is one to one, R must be L, bc "'ll" is the only contraction ending that's a double, and V must be i, bc that's the only single letter contraction beginning. Now, trying to substitue these in, "gr" becomes "_l", "vmkv" becomes "i__i", and aatslfvv becomes "______ii". None of those fit any plausible words. So either this cipher is more complex than I feel like figuring out right now, the message isn't in english, or there's not actually a cipher, it's just filler text.

@@justabeholder4753 so it turns out it was a vigenere cipher which are incredibly difficult to solve without a specific key. but someone else in the comments deciphered it and my original suspicions were correct lmao
I really like the detail of having Martin stab John's eye, leaving it ambiguous if he truly killed him or just cut him off from the eye. That's my working theory for what actually happened in the finale now.
I saw a particularly bleak theory saying that Jon was brought with the fears and was gonna be used to set off a new eyepocalypse in every subsequent reality him and Martin were sent to

@@ReconWT you will not be ok by the end. This is just a fact. The Magnus Archives is one hell of a ride. It starts so simply with a guy reading spooky incident reports but damn it gets to a lot more
DREAM SWEET IN SEA MAJOR? IN MY MAGNUS ARCHIVES???? IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK IN OTHER NEWS. I FUCKING LOVE THIS I WAS *NOT* EMOTIONALLY PREPARED
Wow. Ok. So. I'm supposed that I love you more and more. Everyday I need u. U. Only plz. I disobeyed you I don't think you have a problem finding chance's right now in I think uh is that a lie....no. u know. Why. All for. You my lover is forever to be for my memory of this lifetime...
Yeah ok I'd like to nominate this for the title of greatest piece of fanmade content in the history of fandom as a concept. Assuming I won't change my mind after the glow fades away. This was extremely good for my eyeballs
fun fact: i decided to start the magnus archives after seeing the first few seconds of this! knocked it out in a month and a half, came back to watch this and cried. so so so good
2:44 for anyone that wanted to know, its a Vigenere Cipher with the Key „STRANGERANDSTRANGER“, the plaintext reads: „Hello Jon, apologies for the deception, but i wanted to make sure you started reading, so i thought is best not to announce myself. i'm assuming youre alone; you did always prefer to read statements in pri- wait. martin? what are you doing? martin put the chair down! martin! oh no no nono nononononononoboonono-“ (Yes this is actually true, and its really fuckin funny imo even if you expexted the Hello Jon)
I loved how the artist was able to keep a sense of unease and tension by correlating the art with the music. Letting the music add a tone that may not be present in the scene itself
Have no Idea what I was spoiled for, but I loved everything I saw, from the art style, to the colors. Whatever is "The Magnus Archives" is I'm definitely gonna check it out.
I know its probably been said before but I love the part where Elias's suspended body reflects in Jon's eyes at the end. Literally the perfect, most symbolically appropriate way to evoke the envy Martin reported seeing in Jon's eyes.
It’s important to me that you know I can’t listen to this song on its own anymore without thinking of this animatic, and getting ready eyed every time it gets to “you look quite divine tonight”
THE COLORS!! THE EDITING!!! YOUR ART STYLE!!! THE SONG CHOICE!!! ohhhhHHhh my god this is absolutely BRILLIANT Instantly one of my favorite animatics, and not just from the TMA fandom! Definitely going to be rewatching this a lot :3
WELL I DIDN'T THINK MY HEART COULD SHATTER ANY MORE THAN IT ALREADY HAS BUT SEEING MARTIN PHYSICALLY STAB JON MAYBE WAS THE MOST DEEPLY UPSETTING THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME. THANK YOU
Just listened to mag 200 and I am literally not in any headspace to give a coherent comment BUT CHRIST THIS IS SO GOOD??? I LOVE THE EVERYTHING THANK YOU FOR THIS ASKJDFAJKDSAFHLKS
HOLY SH*T- THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE WHERE DO I EVEN START- THE ART STYLE CHANGES WITH THE DIFFERENT MELODIES ARE STUNNING, HOLY HELL, I CANNOT GET OVER THE EDITING THIS IS JUST PUT TOGETHER SO WELL!!!!!!! OMG-
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!! Full colour? Your thin lineart style and your geometric style? All of the fully animated sections? This song is so long????? This is so good. Thank you. I'm going to have to rewatch this a million times
Coming back here after the launch kickstarted stream of magnus protocol to confirm again that yes, this is without any doubt, one of the most beautiful things this fandom has
Been rewatching this a billion times and I just realized at 4:02 it showed Jon's scar from his handshake with Jude Perry? The DETAILS here, unbelievable brilliant masterpiece
The change in style to realistic collage for the s2 ending.... The little details in the framing of every shot, the beautiful colors and designs. God I'm going to watch this for the next hour
Okay, this is one of the coolest fan things I have every seen. First of, the colors. They are incredibly vibrant and show off the mood so well. Second, the music choice. I have never heard this song before, but its so unlike anything you usually hear in amv's and it really fits. Its both beautiful and incredibly haunting. Third, just the mood in general? That's a amalgamation of all the edits and choices in images, but its incredibly well done. This just oozes with atmosphere and has a pull that almost impossible to escape. I can only image how much work went into this. Just incredible work! Don't mind me while I go on discord and spread the word of it
The music is from an album called Hawaii Pt II, Id give it 10/10 recommendation, it really is these very different songs with different tones and it becomes so mysterious it’s hard to decipher if there’s a hidden meaning/story to it or not
the song is dream sweet in c major by miracle musical in the album hawaii pt ii! it's sort of an amalgamation of all the other songs in the album and it's really cool
This is just- visually stunning. Words can’t describe how amazing this is. From the paper looking cut outs to the scratchy white pencilly lines to the clean coours, it all creates an amazing atmosphere in each scene and god you are such a big inspiration to me, you deserve so many more views.
This has probably been said before, but I keep coming back to this video and I find it so satisfying that for each shift in musical tone (I guess), there is a new art style, each playing off of that specific auditory style. It’s so wonderful and I can only keep watching.
I wish I could like this more than once, this was MAJESTIC. That last shot is such a gutpunch, it makes the happy scenes with Jon and Martin at the cabin before it all goes to hell even sadder
holy shit the way you drew this?? the style switch at 2:12??? and the animation at 3:06, , ,, and your portrayal of the mood with jon and martin,,, 5:41?? oh me oh my, , god this is making me Insane. thank you so much for this while I procrastinate on listening to the final episode!!

This feels like... like an official credits or an official TMA themed music video for this song. I had so many vibes from this and every one was amazing. The music was perfect, the shift in style for each season and plot beat was amazing. I'm not an artist but I know in my gut that it takes an incredible amount of skill to make all these different styles of art and music mesh so perfectly.
HSGHSGCVGDC?? THIS IS SO GOOD HOLD ON I NEED TO GET MY THOUGHTS IN ORDER edit: okay heres my thoughts, sorry if theyre still disjointed im. this is so good and i lack frivolous things like "organized thought processes" 0:00-0:21 okay okay ! starting out strong with a tape recorder and a bunch of eyes. very neat and it all looks so pretty hehe 0:22-0:36 ough that hair is so smooth... the way it speeds up when the scene changes... so good 0:35-0:38 [distant wailing] 0:39-0:41 the colors r so pretty here ,, im gonna be using that word a lot, full warning 0:55-1:08 this is when i realized the backgrounds were going to be super detailed and wonderful i just. yeah :o) 1:11 rip gertrude 1:14-1:49 okay first of all. this is so good etc etc. second of all, did you just do a bunch of normal aspect-ratio drawings and edit them to scroll like that or did u just do one really long one and scroll. cuz if its the latter that is hilarious to me for no reason. just the image of a 1,000px by like. 4,000,000px drawing is so funny. anyway 1:50-1:58 ough ..... pretty gradients.... also blood! death! 2:07 i have nothing to say about this i just feel the need to bring attention to it 2:11-2:12 pretty!! also more blood and death 2:13-2:31 this entire sequence is so cool n creative. jumping from digital to traditional rly sells the ... idk, roughness of s2. works well with the song too. idk if this part made sense 2:33-2:38 green :o) 2:39-2:43 fuck you elias you snotty little bastard. the animation is very smooth tho 2:53-3:05 idk how to explain it but the super bright, thick lined background with the black and white, thin lined foreground and a slight glitch effect is selling the house of wax vibes so well. makes me feel like im going insane but in a good way 3:06-3:08 bone apple teeth 3:09-3:12 im pretty sure this is a call back to the episode where a guy eats his computer but, much like the homophobic vase episode, that one has completely left my mind. i dont remember anything about it. anyway this looks very cool 3:15-3:16 rip qrergb u will be missed 3:17 HUH?? THIS IS ANIMATED SO WELL?? THE WAY JON MOVES IS SO REALISTI C IM . . GOD HOLD ON . I im good. im fine 3:29-3:42 heehee hoohoo see. see look he took gertrudes place. look he. oh god no jon r u ok? 3:54-4:05 pretty... also fruits (affectionate)❤️ 4:20-5:00 :oD what there arent any eyes here. theyre fine, look, theyre okay theyre- 5:01-5:09 -haha thats ominous and foreboding. im sure everythings fine- 5:10-5:15 -so everything is definitely *not* fine, but at least everything looks really pretty. oh my god. its . 5:21 mhm. look at it 5:55- idk how u got the idea for s5 to be like. a video game. but now im never gonna stop thinking about it. 6:19-6:59 okay how did you get this sequence done so quickly? im starting to suspect magic. bc like okay with some of them, yknow, you've had weeks to work on them, its still amazing but at least realistically possible. but u just got like. what. 5 frames done in a couple hours? even if ur tracing over old art (which is fine, btw, work smarter not harder) there is stuff there u couldnt have predicted, right? im simultaneously in awe and in terror of ur power. other notes: holy shit this is 7 minutes long ??? ur patience is immaculate....
This is literally one of the most well made videos I've ever seen on the internet. This is absolutely beautiful, the colors are amazing, the transitions are so clean, the song choice is great. I love this so much
To be frank, I am a relatively late listener of the Magnus archives and when I first found this video I promised to first listen to the entire podcast before watching the entire thing. It’s been a roller coaster and I loved every second of it. Now I’m watching this beautiful recap of the archives and I’m so glad to have experienced it. I’m even happier that I’ve finished just in time for the Magnus protocols.
I’m gonna be honest, I haven’t been able to stop rewatching this. Absolutely PHENOMENAL job, dude, this is genuinely one of the best fanworks I’ve ever seen!
I started the magnus archives 2 months ago. Ever since then, this video repeatedly appeared on my recommended. I promised myself I wouldn’t look at this until I finished 200. So here I am. Crying. Thank you.
I watched this video for the first time about a year ago with my friend, in preparation for the Magnus protocol. (we were watching a bunch of tma animatics to celebrate) I remember watching this one in particular, because me and my friend watched it while at our school's GSA. The teaching assistant for the English teacher, who was the teacher who ran the GSA, was curious about what we were watching. The two of us had spent much of the beginning of that school year telling anyone who would listen about tma. (we had listened to it together over the summer) Last year was really hard, but seeing this animation again reminded me of all the amazing memories I also made last year. Thank you.
This video is what put TMA on my radar. I've watched it a handful of times throughout and having just finished TMA and finally understanding all the scenes I wanna say thank you and you've done a truly spectacular job.
You're one of my favorite artists/animators because of your seamless use of so many different and really eyepopping styles and then THIS ANIMATIC REALLY JUST BLEW THE DOORS OPEN??? HOLY CRAP
This has permanently changed how I feel while listening to this song. the ending especially just hits me so hard and makes me feel the true sorrow of the finale
this is so fucking good oh my god, the little details, the way sasha got replaced by notsasha, genuinely rly unnerving, and the rolling depictions of easter eggs of characters and scenes from throughout tma, the brief respite jon and martin found in that small house, all before everything fell apart. this is a fucking love letter to tma, this is beautiful.
I just realized that Jon's scar shown at 4:00 is the mark of The Desolation, from when Jude Perry asked him to shake her hand. Very good attention to detail!
This is,,,, absolutely brilliant. I seriously do not have the words. The pan shot at the beginning the collageing the consistent inconsistencies I am in awe. Fantastic work, my friend.
1. I love everything about this, 2. I know that it's a pretty small detail in the mist of this masterpiece, but having Mike Crew with "believe me darling the star are made for falling" it's just *chefskiss*
I have to say it. *I'm no joking that this is one of the best animatics about "The Magnus Archives".* Everything of this video fits so well, looks great, and I really love that style you have. Those were 7 minutes too enjoyable and I appreciate the effort you put into this video for so many months. For some reason, it is very rare that I give a like to a video, since I am very selective in these, but once the video was finished I gave him one right away and I hope that those who are watching this video do the same. *PS:* Sorry for my English. Pero tenía que escribir ese comentario, tu trabajo es increíble.
Canonically it's totally possible for anyone in the Magnus archive to have listened to dream sweet in sea major because the album was released on December 12 2012
I finally finished TMA tonight. I've been putting it off for literal months and I'm just. So sad it's over. This is gorgeous in the most heartachey way.

The length of the words would imply it's the 160 statement, as well as the placement of contractions, up until "Zgvkag?". But after that, I don't know. If the cipher's one to one, that first part can't be 160, bc there's no repeated letter in the first word, (the double l in hello). If it is one to one, R must be L, bc "'ll" is the only contraction ending that's a double, and V must be i, bc that's the only single letter contraction beginning. Now, trying to substitue these in, "gr" becomes "_l", "vmkv" becomes "i__i", and aatslfvv becomes "______ii". None of those fit any plausible words.

I'm not an artist but I know in my gut that it takes an incredible amount of skill to make all these different styles of art and music mesh so perfectly.
I love that the tma fandom (more or less) collectively agree on what each character looks like
That moment when Akidachi uploads post-finale despite clearly promising themself to a dread power to make content this good.
My 8 yr old brother just told me Elias was t-posing and now I'm crying
HSGHSGCVGDC?? THIS IS SO GOOD HOLD ON I NEED TO GET MY THOUGHTS IN ORDER
edit: okay heres my thoughts, sorry if theyre still disjointed im. this is so good and i lack frivolous things like "organized thought processes"
0:00-0:21 okay okay ! starting out strong with a tape recorder and a bunch of eyes. very neat and it all looks so pretty hehe
0:22-0:36 ough that hair is so smooth... the way it speeds up when the scene changes... so good
0:35-0:38 [distant wailing]
0:39-0:41 the colors r so pretty here ,, im gonna be using that word a lot, full warning
0:55-1:08 this is when i realized the backgrounds were going to be super detailed and wonderful i just. yeah :o)
1:11 rip gertrude
1:14-1:49 okay first of all. this is so good etc etc. second of all, did you just do a bunch of normal aspect-ratio drawings and edit them to scroll like that or did u just do one really long one and scroll. cuz if its the latter that is hilarious to me for no reason. just the image of a 1,000px by like. 4,000,000px drawing is so funny. anyway
1:50-1:58 ough ..... pretty gradients.... also blood! death!
2:07 i have nothing to say about this i just feel the need to bring attention to it
2:11-2:12 pretty!! also more blood and death
2:13-2:31 this entire sequence is so cool n creative. jumping from digital to traditional rly sells the ... idk, roughness of s2. works well with the song too. idk if this part made sense
2:33-2:38 green :o)
2:39-2:43 fuck you elias you snotty little bastard. the animation is very smooth tho
2:53-3:05 idk how to explain it but the super bright, thick lined background with the black and white, thin lined foreground and a slight glitch effect is selling the house of wax vibes so well. makes me feel like im going insane but in a good way
3:06-3:08 bone apple teeth
3:09-3:12 im pretty sure this is a call back to the episode where a guy eats his computer but, much like the homophobic vase episode, that one has completely left my mind. i dont remember anything about it. anyway this looks very cool
3:15-3:16 rip qrergb u will be missed
3:17 HUH?? THIS IS ANIMATED SO WELL?? THE WAY JON MOVES IS SO REALISTI C IM . . GOD HOLD ON . I
im good. im fine
3:29-3:42 heehee hoohoo see. see look he took gertrudes place. look he. oh god no jon r u ok?
3:54-4:05 pretty... also fruits (affectionate)❤️
4:20-5:00 :oD what there arent any eyes here. theyre fine, look, theyre okay theyre-
5:01-5:09 -haha thats ominous and foreboding. im sure everythings fine-
5:10-5:15 -so everything is definitely *not* fine, but at least everything looks really pretty. oh my god. its .
5:21 mhm. look at it
5:55- idk how u got the idea for s5 to be like. a video game. but now im never gonna stop thinking about it.
6:19-6:59 okay how did you get this sequence done so quickly? im starting to suspect magic. bc like okay with some of them, yknow, you've had weeks to work on them, its still amazing but at least realistically possible. but u just got like. what. 5 frames done in a couple hours? even if ur tracing over old art (which is fine, btw, work smarter not harder) there is stuff there u couldnt have predicted, right? im simultaneously in awe and in terror of ur power.
other notes: holy shit this is 7 minutes long ??? ur patience is immaculate....
I think my favourite parts are probably the eyes w the piano chords at 4:38 and jon and martins little walk cycle starting 5:55
I might be completely off, but at 3:45 Jon wears a ring on his right hand's middle finger. Might this, by any chance, be the black asexual ring?
it must be
he is confirmed to be asexual as far as I know (pan or biromantic (idk really))
I like how the last pair of the fears at 1:09 are the stranger and the extinction, the first fear we encounter and the last one we learn about.
This is literally one of the most well made videos I've ever seen on the internet. This is absolutely beautiful, the colors are amazing, the transitions are so clean, the song choice is great. I love this so much
To be frank, I am a relatively late listener of the Magnus archives and when I first found this video I promised to first listen to the entire podcast before watching the entire thing. It’s been a roller coaster and I loved every second of it. Now I’m watching this beautiful recap of the archives and I’m so glad to have experienced it. I’m even happier that I’ve finished just in time for the Magnus protocols.
this was drop-dead gorgeous. just. wow. my brain's been eviscerated since the finale so i can't do words but this was absolutely incredible
I’m gonna be honest, I haven’t been able to stop rewatching this. Absolutely PHENOMENAL job, dude, this is genuinely one of the best fanworks I’ve ever seen!
YES OH MY GOD IVE BEEN HOPING FOR MORE PEOPLE TO ANIMATE TO DREAM SWEET IN SEA MAJOR
holy SHIT AKI THIS IS THE BEST THING IVE EVER SEEN FROM THE MAGNUS ARCHVES FANDOM TO DATE AND I DON'T THINK ANYTHING COULD EVER TOP IT
I started the magnus archives 2 months ago. Ever since then, this video repeatedly appeared on my recommended. I promised myself I wouldn’t look at this until I finished 200.
So here I am. Crying. Thank you.
When it got to the scottish safehouse period I tell you I started fucking SOBBING. GOD ITS SO GOOD AND IT HURTS SO MUCH!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!
I watched this video for the first time about a year ago with my friend, in preparation for the Magnus protocol. (we were watching a bunch of tma animatics to celebrate) I remember watching this one in particular, because me and my friend watched it while at our school's GSA. The teaching assistant for the English teacher, who was the teacher who ran the GSA, was curious about what we were watching. The two of us had spent much of the beginning of that school year telling anyone who would listen about tma. (we had listened to it together over the summer) Last year was really hard, but seeing this animation again reminded me of all the amazing memories I also made last year. Thank you.
Welp I have a new favourite MV now 10/10 I’ll have this on loop forever
you did not need to go off this hard and decided to share this beauty with us anyway
This kind of weirdly felt like watching the end credits- I'm-
Either way... excellent work.
This video is what put TMA on my radar. I've watched it a handful of times throughout and having just finished TMA and finally understanding all the scenes I wanna say thank you and you've done a truly spectacular job.
You're one of my favorite artists/animators because of your seamless use of so many different and really eyepopping styles and then THIS ANIMATIC REALLY JUST BLEW THE DOORS OPEN??? HOLY CRAP
I keep coming back to this. Not only is it a perfect conclusion to Magnus, but a perfect music video for this song.
This has permanently changed how I feel while listening to this song. the ending especially just hits me so hard and makes me feel the true sorrow of the finale
I have a playlist of my favorite music videos, with some big artists on it. This is immediately my favorite. Very very well done 👏
Dude I don’t even WATCH this show but the sheer skill in this video keeps me coming back
this is so fucking good oh my god, the little details, the way sasha got replaced by notsasha, genuinely rly unnerving, and the rolling depictions of easter eggs of characters and scenes from throughout tma, the brief respite jon and martin found in that small house, all before everything fell apart. this is a fucking love letter to tma, this is beautiful.
I just realized that Jon's scar shown at 4:00 is the mark of The Desolation, from when Jude Perry asked him to shake her hand. Very good attention to detail!
this is probably one of the best directed and edited animatics I've ever seen.
This is,,,, absolutely brilliant. I seriously do not have the words. The pan shot at the beginning the collageing the consistent inconsistencies
I am in awe. Fantastic work, my friend.
THAT WAS LIKE. THE BEST TMA ANIMATIC IVE EVER WATCHED
this is the only thing holding me together after the finale ty
1. I love everything about this,
2. I know that it's a pretty small detail in the mist of this masterpiece, but having Mike Crew with "believe me darling the star are made for falling" it's just *chefskiss*
I have no words, this is too incredible for them
2 years and I'm still coming back here.
I have to say it.
*I'm no joking that this is one of the best animatics about "The Magnus Archives".*
Everything of this video fits so well, looks great, and I really love that style you have. Those were 7 minutes too enjoyable and I appreciate the effort you put into this video for so many months.
For some reason, it is very rare that I give a like to a video, since I am very selective in these, but once the video was finished I gave him one right away and I hope that those who are watching this video do the same.
*PS:* Sorry for my English. Pero tenía que escribir ese comentario, tu trabajo es increíble.
Canonically it's totally possible for anyone in the Magnus archive to have listened to dream sweet in sea major because the album was released on December 12 2012
I watched the final season of TMA just to see this. Totally worth it
I was like "final? Damn, gotta wait until I finish the podcast" but then I remembered that I did .
I feel this, thank god Magnus Protocol isn’t far away.
Also, don’t feed The End too much.
AHH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH AND THE SAFEHOUSE SCENE MADE ME CRY
how did you perfectly capture the fever dream vibe of both this song and the series
i have never listened to the magnus archives but this is so good that now i have to
I don't even know the source material, yet this is perfect, The visuals, like, have you seen 3:05?
The Magnus Archives is so good
I finally finished TMA tonight. I've been putting it off for literal months and I'm just. So sad it's over. This is gorgeous in the most heartachey way.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WHAT?? I honestly love tma and all fan art/videos 😭
I can’t stop rewatching this the person who made this ABSOLUTELY COOKED this is so breathtaking I love it sm 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
