16th fear: tma 2 kickstarter trailer

[@barefootwanderer]

Alasdair's voice is like a lovely mug of hot chocolate, drank in the middle of a zombie apocalypse - he can be talking about the most horrible things, but it doesn't matter, his voice is still comforting

[@broblerone413]

the title for Mag 2 gets announced and the first thing the newly-formed fandom does is meme. i'm so proud of us. if scrotocol doesn't become a long-running joke in the Magnus Protocol fandom i'm gonna be severly disappointed.

[@mello-by]

she magnus on my Scrotocol till I. hello jon apologies for the deception

[@alenvi1931]

We will never let them forget Scrotocol are we?🤣

[@lykas-s]

1:10:10 Alex thirsting over the Bone Turner

[@therealmunchkin1]

Thank you for this. I was trying so hard to find it

[@agent_star]

fuckin alasdair asking them to make a loneyeyes spinoff HIOFHODSGFHKJ

[@allturtlesever6895]

gonna spend so much money on this podcast

[@barborazahradnickova6145]

Alasdair tips on horror writing: 1:37:38 1. tip - Make a big list of horror you like, make graphs, drill down, this is gonna take a while, at least a week, figure out the motives you like, the stuff that you respond to, and why you respond to it, then work out which stories you want to tell with which parts of those, work out what you will be exited about. 2. Then, start getting funky- work out how you want to pace/structure things (this is a job where research is more fun than any other job, the stuff that you love will become the stuff that you write - your first existential crisis will be: "oh i'm just doing a bad cover version of a horror writer that i like") 3. you need to find people in the industry whose work you like and respect and ask for help, so many of us wish not to be perceived, but this is one of the rare moments when you should be perceived

The Magnus Scrotocol

[@radiofyre13]

The fact that leg or soup doesn't make any sense in context either makes it even better

[@cloudedface]

1:56:11 Alex's description of Admiral gives me years of life XD.

[@maicey_t.]

I'm only a minute in and I'm already enjoying myself immensely. I'm so excited for this project!! Again, as always, favorite timestamps: 0:13 - trouble with the feed, Jonny is too lovely 1:34 - partial introductions 2:12 - an entire team for Jonny's nonsense 2:55 - Helen the live reaction slug (Honestly the entirety of the first four minutes is *chef's kiss*) 6:07 - cool merch info! Go check it out! (also Jonny's reaction is pretty golden) 11:10 - "look upon my works and despair" and "you've barely written two whole novels" 14:19 - Jonny sliding ("hold on, Jonny, hold on!") 15:29 - Jonny's eyes 16:22 - Helen's little giggle and shameful secrets 22:27 - Season 1 remaster ("don't do this to me Jonny") 24:18 - MAG 2: Electric Boogaloo 27:16 - real title reveal, followed IMMEDIATELY by "scrotocol" 30:20 - Alex distressed ("well I wanna WIN") 33:07 - cursed Martin content 33:50 - "Ey, I'm Martin, here!" 36:26 - more cursed Martin content 38:32 - "great idea for a sequel." 39:09 - Alex is way too into the idea of pipes 47:04 - reveal #2 TBC

[@jakupharrison8051]

I wonder if we’ll find out the origin of section 31 with it being Civil Service based and called the Magnus protocol. Surely section 31 and the fact that anything involving the institute is automatically a section 31 falls under a protocol.

[@Firemousey]

I love how Alasdair fights so hard for Peter!

[@heathermcdonald2006]

27:16 truly a historic moment

[@MORI2904]

oh and of course 30:20

[@megankirby813]

I do not have the words to express how much I love Alasdair!

[@gomitatsu6337]

Its a minute in and I'm already smiling so much. These people are just so lovely~

[@freshlypickedmint]

i dearly hope there is magnus scrotocol merch. please

[@ForestSpirit8]

I love Alasdair and how he's trying to get information out of them and shipping lonelyEyesxD

[@smoltoph]

alasdair is a man of the people and we love him

[@thepunkmuppet]

this stream was SO MUCH FUN!! the environment in the chat and on screen was just so positive, filled with excitement, so many iconic inside jokes formed and just… i love this fandom and cast/crew so much, it was a great way to spend my sunday night i really loved it

[@nickcoon8816]

Literally just the loveliest people💜💜💜

[@biancamlf288]

Finally got around to watching the stream, and I just want to thank the homosexual who asked if Hozier is an avatar of The Buried (1:24:22). You have my absolute soul, and I would let you feed off my fear throughout the entire apocalypse. I love you. That being said, I haven't heard the answer yet BUT he'd definitely have some Desolation in him, what with Arsonist's Lullaby (,Cherry Wine?) , and Would That I. (Upon further examination, I think I shall categorize every Hozier song into Fears. I'm sure there's a lot of Corruption, and Lonely?, as well as Stranger in Foreignor's God perhaps, might edit this comment later.) Edit: ALEX DIDN'T EVEN ANSWER IT WHAT. I love Helen though.

[@Sentientmatter8]

Maybe he's the eye, gathering statements into songs.

[@Sentientmatter8]

And this question was asked A YEAR before unearth unreal came out with its haunting cover.

[@danielodonnell360]

The Magnus Scrotocol is just going to be the hashtag of all the rule 34 fanfiction now, isn't it? :D

[@anthonyampersand]

I’ve already watched the VOD twice on Twitch but am I about to watch it again? Yeah

[@eelthebananapeel]

really hoping helen gets a bigger role in protocol! she's such a great va and i was sad she had such a minor role in tma

[@SeerOfTime577]

Alasdair is so lovely.

[@calamity2383]

Minimalist fiction: most variations on the “twerks ____” meme So much emotion in so little words

[@noodlepoodle3582]

It's so weird to see them as humans and not disembodied voices on my phone

[@jaywolf4824]

Picked the best picture, I don’t know what they’re talking about

[@figthegiant4065]

I shall be devoting myself to finishing tma seasons 4 and 5 before protocol starts - at all costs😤

[@Anubis005.]

I was desperately scrolling through my discord tryna figure out where the notifs were coming from before you said it was on your end 😂

[@noxthebarbarian]

helen looks exactly like my headcanon of azu so cheers on that

[@Cardinalmos]

1:30:40, 1:51:35 Alasdair tries to gain intel from Alex

[@elizabethpemberton8445]

Alasdair’s comment on the US Office ❤❤❤❤ Like what you want, let us like what we like. There are enough sociopaths in real life, enjoying nice people on TV is a good thing.

[@END3RGUMMI]

1:33:12 you're welcome

[@barefootwanderer]

also - The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley = Spiral lol

[@smallgoblin2594]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S HAPPENING I'M SO HAPPY

[@cas5311]

What’s everything they thought would be in Leitner’s library?

[@theaceofshovels_]

1:37:39

[@nando448]

Is this a personal time stamp

[@theaceofshovels_]

@@nando448 yes, it is when Alasdair gives some great writing advice. I just wanted to keep a memo so I could easily find it. It also made me a little emotional tbh

[@biancamlf288]

@@theaceofshovels_ You and me both. Alasdair seems like such a gentle person.

[@honeycoffeeandmilk996]

1:10:58 Helen gets it xD

[@taylorfox7974]

So whens the remaster happening? :P

[@Random6669]

I don't like you being called Alexander. You're Alex.

[@marshmallow3200]

Can someone please tell me the video game Alasdair is talking about at 1:18:00? I’m having a hard time understanding the audio at that moment.

[@cassou124]

I believe it was Dear Esther, according to the notes I took during the stream

[@marshmallow3200]

@@cassou124 tysm I was having such a hard time understanding that moment in audio.
