Duolingo reminding me of the kayaking alternative universe
Guys the hyperfixation has gotten to the point where I’m considering writing whole character analysis essays…
my little self-indulgent headcanon that tim and elias used to have a weird little flirty dynamic and tim used to sort of catcall elias all the time (with his consent and frankly enthusiastic participation in the bit). and then around s3 it all just. stopped. elias didn't need to Know something was wrong with tim, he could tell by the fact that he no longer whistled everytime he'd bend over to pick up a pen.
"babe, are you okay? you haven't objectified me today at all."
"sasha is fucking dead and you didn't tell me"
"yeah ok but i look really good in this suit"
Sorry but my favourite moment in tma is and forever will be when jon said "you gotta be fucking kidding" in MAG 158 when not-sasha appeared. Cursing Jonathan sims just has me in a chokehold
i love having the most random, "this would not affect the story at all" headcanons about tma characters. for example, elias has permanently dry lips
sasha james was a big ace attorney fan
helen richardson had a strawberry allergy
simon fairchild has a tooth gap
i could go on for days im having fun now
I love this idea! Heres some of mine
Daisy had a cartilage piercing
Tim refused to wear plain socks
Martin always had loads of paper clips on his desk
Sasha had a bunch of key rings on her house keys
Georgie had a whole cabinet of DVDs
Basira would only write in black pen
Jon had specific little containers for specific types of stationary
Melanie owned a record player
YES!!! I LOVE THESE!!!!
Throwing my “this would not affect the story” headcanons at you
Elias only writes with a parker fountain pen
Martin HATES Tetley tea bags with a passion
Melanie always wear a pair of doc Martins she's had for years
Sasha always has colourfully painted nails
Tim wears odd socks purely to piss of Jon
Jon has a really nice hand-knitted scarf
Oooooh can I join?
Martin bites his nails.
Jon can't keep plants alive.
Tim has been watching Jon water a plastic plant for the past 6 months.
Sasha owns a pair of fish earrings and they're her pride and joy.
Elias has a Facebook account.
Melanie is constantly cold and has a comfort hoodie.
may I?
Elias loves Monster Energy, and has a minifridge full of it in his office
Martin is a Mitski fan, and introduced Peter to Nobody
Elias wears heels for important events
Tim taught everyone how to kayak once, and Jon was forced to learn. He fell in, a lot
Sasha had Tumblr
Jon was a fan of horror novels, and had a lot of them in his office
Guess who’s back with some more!
Peter owned several of the exact same style of hat just in various colours
Sasha used to ping elastic bands at people (she had really good aim)
Nikola Orsinov threw a singular juggling ball at Jon while he was kidnapped
Tim could build a pretty high playing card tower
Martin is a small spoon only type of person (not projecting here what do you mean…)
Jon will listen to music through headphones at full volume
Melanie can recite the alphabet backwards
Georgie is a gold jewellery person
Tim and Sasha once spammed Jon with those pictures of baked beans being where beans shouldn’t be
so today i was like "nikola orsinov kinda reminds me of peppa pig for some reason" and my clown friend decided to draw this. so i present to you all
pigkola orsinov
(my clown friend says they regret making her, but personally i could not be happier)
oh my god. i fucking forgot that distracting elias was a genuine method of making sure he doesn't spy on you. give him really complicated paperwork to make sure he doesn't use his eldritch monster powers. "don't worry guys i have a plan. [throws budgeting plans into the next room] GO FETCH"
he gets really comically excited about the most boring tasks in the world. starts spinning around in his chair and giggling happily like omg yay :3 i love this job so much ^_^ i can't wait to do what i've been doing for 200 years now: meaningless corporate nonsense!!
tim walks in on him once and immediately starts a scientific study on this because what the fuck. there's no way he actually enjoys this...right?
he experiments by trying to take over a few tasks for him like "don't worry boss i'll handle that" and elias is immediately like "NO !!!!! my paperwork >:("
One moment I feel I’m completely normal about a piece of media. Then in the next I’m silently screaming at the wall because of it.
(Who am I kidding I’ve never been normal about a piece of media in my damn life)
PLEASE TELL ME MORE ABOUT VOICE CHANGES IN TMA I WANT THE WHOLE RANT
LETS GO! Expect semi-coherent thoughts and a lot of random side notes. Also I apologise in advance for how long this post is, but then again I was asked for the whole thing and I like to over analyse x
Also second apologies, I didn’t intend for this to essentially become a weird essay / notes hybrid that goes well off topic! x
(This is JonMartin focused because those little men have a permanent place in my head)
Edit: I added the more thingy because then it’s not one super long text post (1. So I don’t have to scroll through it every time and 2. I only just found out I could do that!)
SERIES 1-5 SPOILERS (sorry forgot to add this!)
Sorry not sorry. Made this in like, ten minutes.
ALL MARTIN K BLACKWOOD STANS HAVE MOMMY ISSUES DON'T BOO ME YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT
TMA SPOILERS // THE DESOLATION
There is a TW at the start but just in case// TW for mentions of hanging / loss (just incase people might need it x)
A little desolation edit , thank you to @cult-of-the-eye for the suggestion! <3
I’ll be honest I did fully contemplate abandoning this one at one occasion because I hated everything about it at one point but I’m glad I kept going and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! x
I think we've only scratched the surface with the horror of the circus kidnapping
Being forcibly moisturised by monsters would be bad enough - the slimy feeling of too much product is awful, let alone being touched by a stranger - but I think we should also consider that they wanted his skin in ‘better condition’, and that doesn't necessarily just mean well mouisturised. Have you seen blackhead removal tools? Some of them are pretty much just small spikes or hooks. Probably very painful, especially if one of the products they use afterwards contains something like salicylic acid :)
Just.
Here’s my contributions to things that would’ve made the whole experience of circus kidnapping worse!
- At home chemical exfoliants (the AHA/BHA types) are good for improving the skin but they’ll burn if you leave it on too long, I doubt they’d know or care enough to read the instructions.
- Not to mention those chemical exfoliants can sometimes make your skin sensitive so combine that with more products containing things like salicylic acid it’s just going to make it worse
- Over exfoliation in general with those really gritty bordering on sand type of products (both face ones and the body ones)
- Acne on the body which they probably would try to remove or dryer skin which I feel they’d exfoliate multiple times and then apply too much moisturiser
- Depending if they would’ve been considering something like body hair removal which then includes tweezing, waxing and epilators (the one that pulls hairs out)
- Also didn’t Jon have multiple scars by this point- All I can imagine is them using bio-oil (which is said to be good for scars) which feels absolutely awful if you put too much on because your oily and sticky, not to mention the smell which wouldn’t be bad if it was only a small amount but they’d want to try to “perfect” the skin so they’re using a lot…
Big spoiler warning for TMA series 5
Here’s a theory I’ve had but I don’t know if it can be disproved / if someone’s already said it
This could be a theory that holds 0 relevancy at all but I thought it was an interest thought :) x
If Jon was marked by the web from a young age which came from the book and then the tapes, could the Web be responsible for the death of his parents? Because their deaths aren’t natural: ‘my father of an accidental fall’ ‘my mother a couple years later from complications during a routine surgery’
Perhaps it is just coincidence and hold no relevancy at all but if they wanted to steer his life, that would be a way to start the domino trail that eventually led to his grandma giving him the box containing ‘A guest for Mr Spider’.
Sorry if that seems like a kind of abrupt ending to the theory but that’s all I’ve really got thought wise :) x
Oh my god guys the fucking whimpering AHHHHHHHHHHH
My partners never listened to a whole episode of tma (apart from one section) so naturally I sent him a (roughly) minute and a half compilation of the whimpering noises with zero context
Safe to say he did not enjoy it and was deeply uncomfortable
(I thought it was funny but then again I like to laugh about my declining relationship with my dad so who knows who’s reaction was normal)
TMA 1-3 SPOILERS // TIMS CHARACTER ARC - VERSION 2
This is the other version of Tim’s character arc (taken from a suggestion from the lovely @cult-of-the-eye)
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Tim would’ve been an ABBA fan
And if anyone has any editing suggestions/ideas I’m down to hear them because these are just fun to make! (And I need to use my media a-level somehow)
TMA 1-3 SPOILERS // TIM’S CHARACTER ARC
A character arc edit I made after asking the lovely @cult-of-the-eye for edit suggestions (I hope this is the kind of thing you meant!) (also this has now given me the idea to do this style of editing for more characters!)
I also feel with my soul that Tim would be an ABBA fan
Here’s the other edits I’ve made!
Also if anyone has any suggestions, ideas, songs, characters they’d want to suggest I’m happy for them and I’ll (attempt) to make them x
