      I found him pretty pathetic going through his life story. The guy was an idiot that heralded dangerous things just for keep sake and now half of England is in turmoil because of it, let alone largely other parts of the world already. I mean at least he thought he was making things right but really all he did was run and hide. He didn't track down the books to get them back into the right place or at least a better one, didn't even try to disengage any of them (like how some can be burned), he probably could have spread around manuals just as easily as the books themselves but thats not something that was considered. I'm not saying he deserved to die, getting a beatdown by Gerard was probably enough considering the books weren't actually his making. But he made them his responsibility. And then he abandoned that responsibility and left everyone else to clean it up and die for it. Kind of reminds me of Gravity Falls, yet again. A hubris ridden man, selfish, self absorbed, so caught in his fascination he doesn't even realize that he can't escape it. And when he's gone, everyone else is going in blind and defenseless all because that stupid, selfish man could do nothing but play with extremities that he never should have endeavored in the first place. Damn it, if I don't love this podcast.

      Jon is a very _humane_ person. He values other people's lives intrinsically and doesn't put others lives above his own. Most other characters show themselves to be selfish in that they value their own happiness or safety over others (usually Jon's) wellbeing.
      I think the series has a lot to say about the convenience of compassion.

      But while you're right, I watched "Psycho", and many other good horror movies, and as I said- nothing has yet filled me with such terror. Of course there were some good scares, but in a movie it's just less impactful, maybe because I'm desensitized to it. Hearing it makes it different.

PLEASE without any spoilers, can you just tell me if that ended up being important to the plot? Since John didn't react to it and the tape didn't start making weird noises, I thought it might have been an editing mistake by the podcasters...but it seems WAY too obvious and evil and confined to a single word to be a mistake.

      Hi! 7 months ago, you posted the time indexes for a "Gore sounds warning" on Episode 80 of Magnus archives which was liked many times. May I ask a silly question? What were your thoughts behind letting people know about that? In other words, are those sound effects something that bother some people and you were just being kind to inform them? Just curious. Thanks!

      @@caseylocke4474 This was sort of for me, sort of for others. I have a gore sound trigger, and I will spiral into a panic attack when I hear sounds that are very gorey. I put these times stamps here so 1. If I relisten, I can skip. And 2. If other people need to skip they can. Tma is an awesome series as a whole, and I want other people and myself to be able to enjoy it.

    I don't know why but I trusted Elias, or at least I never expected him to do anything like that. This season has been absolutely bone chilling. Well done on everything, especially the dripping, it was horrifying

      Glad I'm not the only one who was extremely confused for a while about the difference between GERARD Keay and JARED Hopworth. That drove me crazy. My kids and I still refer to Gerard as "Jared" because we were so use to him being called that by the time we figured out that Brits pronounce them, apparently, the exact same way. I think it's one of those things like the name Bernard. In the States, we pronounce it "ber-NARD" but the Brits say it "BER-nerd."

    Things I recognized in Leitner's retelling of the attack on his library:
    Mary Johnson: A 'cavernous maw' opening below her. Presumably whatever Jared Hopworth was throwing body bits into in ep49. Has connections with the book 'the bonetuner's tale'(ep17)
    Gregory Todd: Ran into a door that wasn't there. Most likely Michael. Ep 47 is where he kidnaps someone with the 'door that didn't exist', but comes out in multiple other episodes as well.
    Unnamed staff: Sucked into a giant pile of meat. Possibly the same pile of meat from ep 18.
    Rooms that 'fell into darkness': Possibly the 'people's church of the divine host', as the reoccurring theme with them are rooms filled with unnatural dark.
    Edit:
    'some even liked the flames. And those that did, I now believe, would have been released to take a different form'. So... the possibility that Agnes was one of the books in Leitner's library that took human form?

And apparently ONE OF THOSE ANCIENT MONSTER BEINGS?! Why did you not ask more about that Jon?? I know Gertrude’s murder is super important and all, but maybe, just maybe it would be good for you to know if you work for a literal monster?!! (˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾
