relistening to mag 03 and i do say this every few months or so but i cannot stop thinking about how blatantly insanely obvious it is that amy patel was touched by the eye
It appears that today JHark continues your thesis statement of him having an "I will not let such a small issue stop me" pattern
Let us recap!
May 3rd: *paprika gives incredible thirst*
Jonathan: I won't let a little thing like that stop me! *more paprika*
May 4th: *locals crying, hugging his knees, begging him not to go*
Jonathan: *significantly more unsettled* I won't let a little thing like that stop me
May 5th: *this door has no handle*
Jonathan: I won't let a little thing like that stop me...? Though I admit I am at a loss as to what to do about it
May 8th: *dracula yeets the mirror*
Jonathan: *annoyed* I won't let a little thing like that stop me *does his best with his shaving pot, which is fortunately of metal*
May 8th: *the castle is a veritable prison*
Jonathan: *running madly around like a rat in a trap* I won't let a little thing like that stop me!!! *sitting down quietly* ahhhh fuck
May 12th: *envelopes extremely see-through*
Jonathan: *resolving to write to Mina later in shorthand* I won't let a little thing like that stop me *immediately snoops on Dracula's letters*
May 15th: *the door is locked, the key is gone*
Jonathan: I won't let a little thing like that stop me. It's probably in the Count's room
May 15th: *one door not technically locked just suck*
Jonathan: *putting his back into it* oh I definitely won't let a little thing like that stop me...
And a bonus:
Dracula, May 12th: Don't go to sleep anywhere else in the castle or you will Literally Die. From, uh. Nightmares.
Jonathan, May 15th: I won't *yawn* let a little thing like *yawn* that stop me.... zzzzzzzz
You know sometimes I think about how in the plot description of the magnus protocol it’s stated that the magnus institute burned down in 1999. This did not happen in the original series so it obviously takes place in a alternative universe, and seeing as Gertrude attempted to burn down the archive originally, maybe in this universe she succeeded by executing the plan way earlier.
So now there’s an intresting thing about the episode that first hints to multiple dimensions in TMA. In mag 114 a cleaner named Anya Villette accidentally falls through the crack in reality at hil top road. She traveled from a different universe to the one we listen to. Notable is that in Anya’s original universe the tree at hil top road was still standing, implying Agnes was still alive there in 2009. (Agnes died in 2006)
That PLUS the fact Jonny has said he would’ve loved to elaborate on Agnes’s character, I have come to the conclusion that Agnes and Gertrude are still alive in magnus protocol.
THIS IS HOW AGNES MONTAGUE CAN STILL WIN (and date Gertrude.)
please listen to albums someitmes youll be amazed at what an artists songs do when theyree in an order they made. for you to listen to. etc
Other people have commented on all the funny jokes last year about Jonathan not realizing that he was in the novel Dracula whereas this year we’re very aware of him being uneasy and already saying goodbye to Mina in the second email. Well, personally, I think it was me, the reader, taking everything as a delightful joke. It wasn’t Jonathan ‘not realizing he was in Dracula’ it was me, not realizing that I was reading Dracula. I only had a vague idea of pop culture and a Sesame Street Count to go off of. It was me, a modern thinker, thinking how bad can vampires really be? Aren’t they rather funny? Or sexy? Or weird guys with the personality of mayonnaise and the skin of a disco ball? Not sure what my point is exactly but I feel very confident that Jonathan is taking this situation Much More Seriously than I would if I was on a business trip. And reading it the second time is more nerve wracking then the first, because I know now what to expect, and can’t do anything about it.
‘aight, mate, we’re done! Looking like a proper little punk now, eh?
“Awk sure I did feel while bad for the poor wee critter asking her to marry him the wee pet he was while civil :(” –my very Northern Irish mother about Seward proposing to Lucy after my gothic-literature-obsessed dad and I peer pressured her into reading Dracula
Honorable mentions were her calling Dracula’s Brides “those three bitches” and calling Seward “the hospital boy”
