Jon season 1: I’m a skeptic :/
Jon season 4: I’m going to use my seeing eye powers to remove an invisible ghost bullet from my coworker’s leg
Jon season 2: I'm a paranoid.
Jon season 3: I'm am tired of being kidnapped.
Jon season 5: I'm a depressed god.
The funniest bit of contrast in the show is between Gertrude "sometimes you have sacrifice your assistants and do terrible things to them to achieve your goals" Robinson and Jonathan "I'm going to operate on my sleeping coworker to get a bullet out of her leg despite the fact that she could very well kill me if she wakes up" Sims. The man may not be the best with people but he'd walk through hell and back to make sure his assistants are ok
Oof that's some good observations, you sure you're not with the eye?
Gertrude got Michael to trust her to an unhealthy extent, then fed him to an evil door god, and he felt so betrayed that when the evil door god assimilated him, that lingering feeling of betrayal resulted in him becoming the evil door god.
Bagpipes starting to play? Creepy. Jon’s little “Baaah”? Adorable. Wholesome. Fed my soul. Added 50+ years to my life span.
I started wheezing when that happened, god it was hilarious
*baaahhh* omfgggg
Good to know Jon now has the ability to cause Scotland the Brave to play in the background of his recordings. I'm sure that'll come in handy.
@ Sarah Memes is beholding confirmed
9:20 for reference
Basira: you think she's gonna sleep through being tied down?
Me: YOU THINK SHE'S GONNA SLEEP THROUGH BEING CUT OPEN????
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY🤣
I thought that's what the drugs were for? They number her leg so she couldn't feel anything they were doing
@@l_a_d537 i figured the drugs would help numb the pain but not enough that they could hope she wouldn't feel a thing
@@l_a_d537It's localized anesthetic, she wouldn't feel them tying down her leg but the rest of her is another story.
In Melanie's defense, I would probably also react like that if I woke up from a nap to find my coworkers performing impromptu surgery on my legs.
Oh in this singular instance her outburst is completely justified. Pretty much the only reasonable assumption is hostility, and that's if you're in your right mind. Melanie....has not been in her right mind for a long time.

basira and jon find the worst possible way to solve a problem yet again, and jon makes cute lil sheep noises
This should the description of the episode
It's a difficult situation. Can't take Melanie to a normal doctor because if they could the bullet would be out by now. Can't ask for permission because she doesn't really trust anyone, least of all Jon. Can't leave it alone or she'll become a hopped up murder junkie sooner or later.

9:20 :3
Imagine being in a coma for half a year, and when you wake up, you're the only one who survived, no one seems to trust you, your new boss seems to be even more of a mysterious dictator, and you're all alone in your entrapment.
Not only does everyone not trust him but they're also NOT HAPPY HE'S ALIVE. And that hurts so much to listen to.
and the only person who's always trusted you and been there for you is suddenly extremely distant for no discernible reason :')
But he wasn't the only on Basira survived!!
Basira survived also! Nobody's leery of her, are they??
@@mistydevillier2197 well basira wasnt around for the explosion she just girlbossed her way outta there
Season 1: Sure, Martin, I guess you can stay in the archives to avoid these "evil worms."
Season 4: Well, it sure is a good thing my assistants are sleeping in the archives that are under siege. That along with the sleeping pills for the nightmares will make the impromptu surgery to remove the ghost bullet that's corrupting her much easier. :)
Somehow I feel the word "escalation" doesn't even come close to covering it....
ngl I'm pretty sure any normal person would react the same way Melanie did
And it's Melanie "I'd rather risk killing us all than have my free will taken away" King too. Poor girl
Jon is a 35 year old man and fully committed to making sheep noises in this statement
This man is no mentally older than 18. He's more mature than most 18 year olds, but you cannot convince me this man has more than 1 braincell.
I thought he was canonically 28-ish?
@@-kirby-2851 jon (the character) is canonically around his late 30's to his early 40's by this point in the series. There's an in-office birthday party for Jon that we hear in season 5 (and the recording seems to be from around early season 1 because it is before Sasha's death) where he says he is turning 38.
It's a written statement. That means Mr. Simpson wrote those sheep noises out on paper.
@@haidenvonn2206doesn’t Sasha say he’s lying after he says he’s 38?
Jon sounds so sad because martin's is avoding him
It's his turn on the yearning
I wouldnt be surprised if it turns out that martin is just trying to get John's attencion or smth
The "I'll try play unavailable so that he loves me" kinda thing
Idk just sounds like Martin lol
Love the slight distortion whenever he "sees" something with his powers
Same! I thought no one will comment it ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄-⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
Yes! Such awesome sound design.
It does that consistently whenever a spooky happens, regardless of which avatar. Love it.
absolutely losing it at the thought of just strolling into a Superdrugs and asking for enough anaesthetic to knock out a horse
“hello yes i would like one crack cocaine please and thank you”

imagine taking a nap and waking up to find your boss, whom you find extremely untrustworthy, performing surgery on your leg while one of your coworkers watches
9:20
Thanks:D
Thank you so much
A true hero
thank you thank you thank you
🐑🙂
Sorry, but Jon’s “Jesus Christ she’s awake!” while Melanie is actively shrieking and waving a knife about is fucking hilarious (also adorable). Like, no, Jon, really? Are you sure? Use your Beholding, just to double check
Basira thinking that Jon's just going to open up her leg and perform surgery WITH SCISSORS
ikr like sure jon makes some pretty bad decisions but COME ON BASIRA HE'S NOT THAT CRAZY GIVE HIM A BIT OF CREDIT
Ngl i briefly - horrified my - thought is Mayte LG 😅
Everyone is basically doing the same thing to Jon that he did to them in Season 2
Their distancing themselves from him, their suspicious and don't trust him, their just not stalking him or being creepy. Their just avoiding. Which can't end well because he's finally ready to trust them himself and he needs support of his coworkers and friends after being gone so long.
Omg I just realized it might be a survival response humans have toward the eye
Yes. Also it’s been over a year. I hope you’ve learned the difference between “they’re”, “their” and “there”.
And again Jon get's more messed up, because he wants to help people
honestly and he. isnt. appreciated. enough.
Sera Som no one really trusts him anymore.
The man has more scars than Victor Zsasz at this point.
Basira and Jon used to be a dynamic duo of sensible decision makers and now they’re performing involuntary surgery on their traumatized co-worker
I love the comment sections on these, they're always full of pooling knowledge, speculation, jokes, and personal experiences. I see the same people, the person posting transcripts, the first time listener who posts 'spoilers?' then their notes from the episode, the person who used to post cryptic one-word spoilers, and in earlier episodes the repeat listeners who say 'there's a reason ;)))' or 'you'll see ;))))'. I just love it all so much, it's like we're all listening together around a campfire. I normally never comment, but I do on every episode now because it's just so nice!
I always get happy when I see a username I recognize, like Asterphy or Ky0da
Same
I'm relistening using these videos and I so love the community here. None of my friends have finished it so I get to talk to all you lovely people about it :D
@@Vi_Vi_1 Yes! Enjoy your relistening journey, friend :)
Naw, thanks friend!!
Also, Slaughter ;)
My gosh Melanie's voice actor did amazing at the end there.
(episode spoilers!!!!)
if i had to spend all waking and sleeping hours enclosed in my workplace because all threats outside it could possibly result in my death, with only anger as my form of coping mechanism, and i wake to find my comatose mystic boss and we-went-out-for-drinks-ONCE coworker were playing a shoddy, improvised game of hasbro's operation on me, i too would stab someone
"a game of hasbro's operation" IT REALLY IS, even down to the buzzing sound effects lmaooo
Welcome to Medical Malpractice 101: So Your Boss Attempted Surgery
I feel like we so rarely get Slaughter statements. Such a treat.
The Stranger ones are still the most interesting IMO, but The Slaughter is a good one
Slaughter statements tend to RUIN me so that's fun
My favorite statements are usually the end
I’m a sucker for the bagpipes
Fr i feel as if the End, Dark, Slaughter and Hunt are the most underrated/forgettable entities. Especially the Slaughter and the Hunt who are very often confused for being one another
Good grief, the end part where they're attempting to get the bullet out is legit the most tense I've been in this whole series.
Statement: "...a small, mobile lending library"
Me: "LeiTNeR"
Jon impersonating a sheep just killed me-
Well done

Also
Diss Scotland again and I'll be coming for your kneecaps
I second that motion
"You Scotts sure are a contentious people."
The Eye @ 18:50 : You know what Jon, you've been doing so well I'll give you a freebie.
The Eye @ 22:58 : Did I say freebie? I meant you're going to get stabbed. :)
I love how now John knows, just like Gertrude knew, and that now he reads statements with the same confidence and expertise she had: he now IS the Archivist; I just hope it doesn't lead him to commiting atrocities like her or anymore deaths.
Nah, it'll be fine. What's the worst he could do?
@@mimkyodar
At this point people are committing the atrocities in place of him. Poor man is being better, but at the cost of everyone around him being absolutely nuts.
It probably will
We know Gertrude wasn't a _"good"_ Archivist. Which is actually a compliment to her. She did maintain her humanity...she just was really like that.
Melanie slept first on the slumber party, rookie mistake
😂
I'm ashamed to say Melanie waking up scared me more than any of the stories have lol
aaa i love those moments when jon just *knows* things, the progression on those is so good
“Impossible to tell mud from blood from flesh from bone” god this show has such great writing
19:29 When your the first to fall asleep at the sleepover
god poor melanie
I know we already talked about the difference between US and UK police officers in the Police Lights episode, but hearing this police officer talk about his partner being desperate not to use her baton is so surreal. If this happened in the US Callum would have been filled with bullets long before that point....
God melanie’s voice actor... just like- you feel that pain in her voice so hard man it’s crazy
Poor Melanie, I really hope she gets better, she is honestly one of my faves. Also i love the idea about her and Basira being friends :'^)
The Stranger literally gets as far as to begin their ritual and almost brings about their own cataclysm
The other fears: 😴😴😴😴😴
The institute literally goes about business as usual
The other fears😬😡
I guess because they thought the eye and the stranger would nuke it out and end themselves and no one would be close to their ritual. But the eye beat the stranger now the eye is the only one close to the ritual. Gertrude had a plan for it you would think thats why she wanted to destroy the archives but i think she was gonna go down with it.
wow this episode is so cottagecore x
jon's new powers are both incredibly cool and incredibly freaky. maybe now he'd be up for some identity talk with "helen"? 👀
i had to take my headphones out to try to see if the bagpipes were coming from outside
“I know that, but… I can’t afford to burn any more bridges”
*Well you did a real good job of that, didn’t you Jon?*
Spoilers for this ep be warned///
HOLY SHIT I JUMPED SO HARD WHEN MELANIE WOKE UP????? I WAS JUST DRAWING FUNKY CAT DUDES AND SHE STARTED SCREAMING I WAS??!??????? YOU CANT KEEP DOING THIS TO ME PLEASE
I would like to see da cat dude ●-●
I would also like to see the funky cat dudes
10:00 .... ive been working on a cross stitching project while listening to these and i am thoroughly spooked.
Oh my goodness! Same here. Glad to find a friend
Me too!! I’m glad I’m not the only one lol
We're all cross stitching buddies :D
:D!!
"Sheep don't kill each other. Not like that." Er.... I have questions?
I definitely feel the vacancy of the start and end of statements when they would just, talk? interact? didn't happen as much in the start of season one, and I feel like it's mirroring that. anyways, local English man witnesses a tragedy and somehow links it to sheep and bagpipes
the episodes with the slaughter really are the scariest for me. violence for the violence's sake ...
Even the Flesh arguably has more of a positive effect, at least nourishing those it comes in contact with. Er....mostly. Sorry factory worker dude. Slaughter really is just meaningless, like the End but rude.
@@clayxros576 I think it makes sense that it's meaningless though, at least. To the animals that first felt this fear and manifested it, it really was senseless violence.
I live in a small fenced in area until it is my time to finally leave this bleak existence. What is it like to be free, "wild" as the humans call it. The wolves whisper to me but I know they are lying. Soon I will have a second smile below my jaw connecting my ears. I know, I've seen it.
@@MyceliumNebula The Slaghter is not an animal Fear though?
@@supremegodemperorderpfestor in the episode where the slaughter's origin was at the very least eluded to it was mentioned that the fear of being slaughtered began when animals were first being slaughtered iirc. It's been a very long time since ive lasted listened to TMA though. I mightve misinterpreted it at the time lmao
@@MyceliumNebula That is The Flesh. The only animal Fears are The Flesh and The Hunt. The Slaughter is a purely human Fear.
"actually, we're supposed to call it "the service", force was deemed too violent"
Winning comment 😅
Okay but imagine him running up to Basira and trying to convince her that Melanie's acting violently because she has an invisible ghost bullet in her leg and they need to get it out. Basira is the only functioning braincell in the Archives currently and Jon is still managing to rope her into dumb shenanigans.
can we just take a moment to appreciate how amazing the voice actors are like- w o w
Whether in her right mind or not...waking up from a nap to find your co-workers cutting your leg open and screaming bloody murder is the Most normal reaction
"... with a fear of bagpipes and sheep. I'm sure we can all relate."
I can't wait for my dad, who's listening to this podcast as well and who also loves bagpipe music, to arrive at this episode
I never knew how desperately I needed Jon's little "baaah" until now.
Tfw you got so traumatised after witnessing such a gruesome event that it's impossible not to associate it with bagpipes and sheep noises. I feel you bro.
okay but the joke about terrified Englishmans back from Scotland is GOLD
I love the energy and power Jon put behind that sheep impersonation 😂
But the small sigh beforehand makes it 10x better
9:20 JON REALLY-
I LOVE IT SO MUCH
Mega LunaLexi god, same
it added like a 30 years to my life span
HHHH I LOVE HIM
THANK YOU I WAS LOOKING FOR THE TIME STAMP
i appreciate the ever so slight detail of cutting her pant leg
it seems so normal, so rational, so pointlessly unnecessary to even mention but somewhere inside me is warmed by jonys foresight at specifying the only creepy thing about this impromptu surgery is the fact it has to happen because of a ghost gunshot
Okay but who gave the Slaughter's bagpipe music the right to be so jaunty. This episode horrifies me but the soundtrack is banger.
I don't like hearing him say my name. Honestly, put me on edge.
Imagine how I feel. It's really weird.
@@DerMoerpler rip bro
@@DerMoerpler oh man that must be an experience
And then you have me considering changing my name to Martin.
God, the voice actress of Melanie King is so good
sorry i'm already losing it at "crofting community"
we've had Murder Club, now it's time for Murder Jams And Chutneys
I'm sorry everyone is laughing at the sheep but I've walked out of a house fire into a paddock with sheep just peacefully grazing and I have never felt more dreamlike.
Excuse me if I giggled a little more than I should have at Jon's "baaaa"
I dunno why, but the Slaughter is somehow the Entity I can handle the easiest. As supernaturally bloodthirsty as people get... it's still a thing that seems... reasonable. Like it wouldn't require an Avatar or a Leitner to push humanity to the depths of brutal, violent madness. Cynical, to be sure, but such is how I see us, especially with how I'm commenting this within a week of the revelation of what Russian troops did in Bucha...
You would think that it wouldn't t really need humans when weasels and dogs exist. I think cats fall into the hunt, but dogs and weasels go bonkers and slaughter regularly enough.
I listen to these on a podcast app but i come here to yell about the episode in the comment or be comforted by other people yelling. Thank you guys.
No but the way he said yes when Basira asked if he knew what he was doing just gave me the mental image of him gaining the extra floaty eyes people draw him with while his regular eyes are dilating like a cat-
*Jon gets stabbed* “the Magnus archives is a-“
im streaming this on spotify and replaying it here on youtube bc half of the time i have no idea whats going bc im not a very auditory person, and the comments and description rlly helps lol
I'm doing the exact same thing at this very moment
.... Your new powers are great John ... but I'm pretty sure a hospital is the best solution here 0_0
To be fair Melanie went to a hospital when she first got shot and they said they couldn't find anything
Sooo daisy had custody of the one braincell of the team when she died then? Cause this new basira really went with the worst way of performing impromptu surgery on a coworker possessed by the literal spirit of violence, ok ok ok
Wow, nevermind all that then.
Honestly, I've been getting gradually more and more upset over how everybody's been treating Jon, and found myself unsure of wether I actually wanted to continue listening.
I am so happy I got to this point and even more happy this is one of the few things I haven't spoiled for myself.
This is an incredible reveal. Thinking about it now, I realize how weird and seemingly out of place the whole bullet detail was, but hindsight is 20/20, and it flew completely under every single one of my radars. Wow.
I am not apologizing for my hateful posts, not at all. In the very least, because they were incredibly funny to blurt out. But I am so happy this weird and sudden character development got a proper explanation, and really eager to see Melanie once again in the ranks of characters I don't want to strangle on sight.
This cliffhanger ending took a year off my life due to stress lol
yknow, I keep seeing people talking about the hunt being the main focus of this season but it seems like it will mostly be the more violent "patrons". ex, the end, the slaughter, and the hunt. the web too, but that's not one of the inherently violent ones, I guess
The End isn't even supremently violent. It's moreso aggressive. It's victims usually just....stop though.
@@clayxros576 the end isn't even aggressive. I'd say it's one of the more passive entities. It just makes its presence known and stands there. Menacingly. Until the time to die comes. Then it acts. The exception to this is the people who kill others to repay their debts to the end in souls, like the guy who got diy lobotomized by Dekker a few episodes back
Can’t help but notice the bagpipes. I mean, yes, we’re in Scotland. But one’s mind must be drawn to the Piper nonetheless.
I do hope Melanie gets better after this
the subtle sound of bagpipes in the background... chilles
im sorry, i read 'chilles' how you would read achillies
Honestly I have never been that disturbed by this entire podcast up until the end of this episode. Thank you so much Rusty Quill for that. Now I'm going to just sit in a corner and cry.

Not many people talking about how Jon isn’t “Jonathan sims, head archivist of the Magnus institute, London.” Anymore, he’s just.. “Jonathan sims. The archivist.” LOVE MY BABY AVATAR BOY BUT GOT, THE WRITING IS MAKES ME SO SADDD
jon’s “baaa” sent me into a giggling fit
Honestly the bagpipes took me tf out tbh
bro. this series just keeps getting better. the horror just keeps getting more well written. Jon just keeps getting more lovable. god
I just realized something;
I went back to double check and excluding the time he was away from the Institute, Jon always referred to himself when reading statements as "Jonathan Sims, head archivist of the Magnus Institute". Last time he did so was MAG117, the last statement he read before they went to blow up the house of wax.
Since he's woken up from the coma, he just refers to himself as "Jonathan Sims, The Archivist."
I'm sorry, is that Scotland the Brave playing in the background? Is the theme of The Slaughter the Scottish national anthem?
I love hearing scotland the brave, softly in the background, on the bag pipes. This episode was so good, the story was awsome and the voice acting sounded so genuine
Insult Scotland, plase just try it again, someone might strangle u with a kilt
I love how the description reads "in the crafting community", while Jon says "in the Crofting community". The description thinks that the war between the kitters and crocheters finally happened.
Elias: *popcorn* *prison popcorn*
absolutely in love with lydia’s voice acting these past couple episodes

Basira-Shes gonna wake up and kill somebody and well...NOT IT!!!😅😅😅

Healt insurance? Who needs it! Let your co workers perform your surgeries!
The fact that (I’m pretty sure) the bagpipes plsying in the background was the Scottish anthem 😂💀 something about that is just funny to me
Never did i expect to be scared of the sound of bagpipes playing Scotland, the brave, but here I am: absolutely freaking out about bagpipes playing Scotland, the brave
Melanie gets the worst awakening possible and I can't blame her for freaking out.
god Melanies voice acting is so fucking good
