My TMAGP designs atm (bonus Basira and Elias)
I've got like a billion Alice's rn so I'm still settling on her shapes, but I'm a firm believer in Dirty blonde outgrown mullet, angular features and heavy prescription glasses.
Thanks to my magpod groupchat for putting up with my endless spam of sketches at all hours of the day

Based on Mary Shelley’s post apocalyptic novel The Last Man. It’s very interesting, before I’ve read it I’ve seen it described as Mary’s expression of loneliness after most of her friends and family passed away, but interestingly, up until the last chapter the novel is filled with the feeling of community and affection. I liked it very much.

i've seen the sentiment before that chester's first incident reading was very much a "DON'T GO TO THE FUCKING MAGNUS INSTITUTE" message. but now with this one... i think it's highly likely that chester is actively encouraging sam to get more entrenched in this mystery.
this week's incident was pulled up in direct response to sam considering dropping his investigations while talking to celia. a convenient "but wait, there's more! i promise there's not just dead ends!" to keep sam hooked, to draw him (and alice in tow) back to the institute.
which, of course, brings up the question once again of what the fuck chester (and norris and augustus) is (and what its relations to our favorite archivist are) which is not a question we can answer yet but oh i am so excited to find out. at least, i think the idea that chester is directly jon, or.. i dunno, his ghost or whatever, is not supported by this.
this new incident also imo reframes the potential “intent” behind the redcanary incident. from a warning of stay away to a warning of this is dangerous, but there’s so much more to be investigated here. imo.. a be ready for it. i think whatever chester is it wants sam to investigate the institute, but not die in doing so.
DPHW reminds me of the Aarne Thompson index for fairy tales. I wonder if they're categorizing the type of tale, more than scoring it on qualities?

I have a bad feeling Freddy is using the voices of Jon, Martin, and whoever else to goad Sam into returning to the Magnus Institute. And that Jon & Martin are, in fact, completely dead.
PLEASE READ!!! I DON'T POST STUFF LIKE THIS AND THIS IS SERIOUS TO ME! ELON MUSK IS TRYING TO DUMP THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF WASTE WATER INTO THE LAGUNA MADRE IN SOUTH TEXAS!!!
The Laguna Madre is a beautiful ecosystem that houses so many species of wild life and many migratory species of shore birds go there to eat and rest. Its all thanks to the sea grass that grows there, and after the big freeze of Texas in 2021, it is slowly making its recovery and now it's in danger again!
(Black Skimmer with chicks shown here)
If Elon continues with this disguising act, nitrogen and hydrogen rich waste will be dumped and plankton and algae will begin to overpopulate and create a cloud of themselves over the sea grass causing it to not get the sunlight it needs to photosynthesize. It will basically be suffocated by the overpopulation of microorganisms and die out and so many species of animals will lose that shelter they need to feed, breed and even escape dangers like predators. This grass also feeds the endangered green sea turtle and was even given the name "Turtle Grass" for its huge importance to these creatures.
(Green Sea Turtle grazing) Not only that, but the South Padre Island is one of the largest ports in America and has many shrimping and fishing companies that rely on the environment to make a minimum wage. And once the water gets polluted, so many people can get sick or worse if they eat the fish and shrimp that have been exposed to it!
(South Texas Shrimping Boats) This is serious! And if you or someone you know lives in Texas there is a way you can make a comment and state how you DON'T WANT LITERAL SLUDGE IN THE OCEAN! IT WILL HURT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS AND THE VAST AND DIVERSE ECOSYTEM THEY LIVE IN!

PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN! WE CAN'T LET MUSK DO THIS!!!
something that is kinda cool to me is it seems like in tma you get the statements of people who made it out long enough to tell their story's, even if they died in the end they where able to go to the magnus institute and record their experience. in tmagp they are pulling story's from those who didn't make it out and have a place to record everything, its pulling from last emails and locked forum post, old blogs and letters. they don't have ways to know what happened to them.
when I say I screamed
