four losers in a basement reading spooky stories

There's something about the tmagp characters' motivations, and who they're willing to sacrifice, and how the people or things they prioritise act towards them, and how it goes for them.

Because

Celia is willing to sacrifice Sam, who loves her and who she genuinely does care about, to stay with Jack. And then there's a moment where she isn't sure she can go through with it, and she loses him anyway without having to act, and she'll probably never know exactly what choice she would have made in the end, even though she's consciously planned this for weeks.

Alice straight up abandons Teddy and Colin, who are both Not Doing Well, when they are explicitly asking her for help, to go and protect Sam, who has told her not to come after him. It's barely a decision for her - she quite clearly stops thinking about anything or anyone else.

Sam finds out that Celia betrayed him and STILL puts himself in danger to protect her. And ends up falling through the gap to another world, which is exactly what she was planning to do to him.

Gwen throws Lena under the bus the moment the opportunity comes up, purely for the sake of her own ambition, which is part of a broader pattern of decisions. And it's immediately obvious when she gets what she wanted that it's only going to go badly for her.

Idk idk it's the love and the need and the want of it all, and the ruthlessness that can come out of it, and the way they make or don't make their choices, and the consequences of it aaaaaa

tmagp fans how are we feeling?

[ID: A digital illustration depicting a scene from episode 26 of The Magnus Protocol, featuring Sam and Celia. Sam is a fat South Asian man with brown skin, short curly black hair and a mustache, and body hair. He is wearing a cream turtleneck with rolled sleeves, dark red trousers, a brown belt, black suspenders and white socks. Celia is a slim Korean woman with light skin, short black hair, body hair, and piercings, and she is wearing a light green button-down with rolled sleeves, light green socks, dark green trousers, and a purple belt. Her glasses are resting on top of her head. They are sitting on a couch with a blanket draped over the back and a table sitting nearby. The entire image is lit warmly with pink shadows and yellow highlights.

They are kissing with Celia pushing Sam against the armrest with one hand on his chest, and one on his thigh. Sam has one hand on her lower back and the other gripping the armrest. His elbow is knocking over a bottle of "alcohol(tm)" and his expression is tender and passionate. Celia's face is turned away from the viewer. A burst of hearts starts near Sam's head and covers the entire upper area of the image above their heads and the couch. The hearts are a gradient of green, yellow, and red. end ID]

[THEY KISS. SAM KNOCKS OVER THE BEER, BUT NEITHER OF THEM NOTICE]

HI I'M NORMAL <3

current reaction to the newest ep

I won't lie. Celia turning up at her civil services job with a giant fuck off knife made her a lot more endearing to me.

took jmart 200 episodes to kiss and these fuckers did it in 26

Celia bringing a big ass knife to meet Helen, who tried to eat her when she was distorted, might make her the second most sensible horror protagonist in magnus after Joshua Gillespie freezing the key to the coffin.
