HAPPY HALLOWE-*gunshot*

Old game character who is so harrow coded

If I may momentarily break keyfabe, I think the deal with D.B. Cooper is most likely that cops are just bad at finding people.

more magical negative steam review excerpts that didnt make sense to include in my previous compilation (but that i still wanted to share)

What I love about The Magnus Archives:

💬Vast possibility space due to genius design of the dread powers.

✒️Writing is incredible!

What I don't like about The Magnus Archives:

🙄Everywhere i go, the eye sees me. nowhere is safe from its lidless gaze.

🧔‍♂️I'm listening to a generic middle aged white man again, urgh.

I want a podcast that uses The Magnus Archives' same insanely well crafted fear pantheon and wonderful writing...

...but it's about a young Archivist trying to solve the disappearance of her neighbour's cat in Ny-Ålesund.

Grammar PSA

the expression you're looking for is reining in. it is NOT reigning in. it comes from horseback riding.

you REIN IN your horse when you pull on the rein to tell him to slow down.

similarly, you GIVE HIM FREE REIN when you loosen your grip on the reins and let him run as fast as he likes.

that's where the metaphor comes from. you can rein in your evil vizier when he proposes a little too much child murder, or you can give him free rein when you need your enemies obliterated and only underhanded treachery will do. but unless he actually pulls off that nefarious coup he's plotting, the only one reigning here is you.

fucking hate texting dracula i'll send him a funny meme and he'll call me to be like "i need to take a SCREAMshot on my HELL phone" like oh my god we get it youre scary

To anyone who sees this, I wish you warm fuzzy blankets and your preferred choice of milk or tea. Now go sleep sleep!!
