During the first half every time Martin pauses I imagine he’s looking to Jon for approval but Jon’s just looking at him dull faced/unimpressed so Martin just awkwardly continues.

Damn, Martin is a badass. The guy basically outlasted a siege by an eldritch horror through sheer force of will.

Martin getting distracted and talking about tarantulas is a big mood

I like the fact that Johny Sins hates the word spooky. I imagine when halloween rolls around he is just stuck at home screaming in anger.

Martin: you can vouch for the soundness of my mind can't you?
John: ...
John: That's besides the point.

Martin: "you can vouch for my soundness of mind, can't you?"
Jon: * 3 seconds of marked tape recorder silence*

I listened to Martin's voice for about 4 seconds and was like: yup, that's the one. That's baby.

Oh my god this whole time I was picturing Martin sounding like a college stoner or something and it turns out he's adorable???
Also this is very good character development on Jon's front. He's a crotchety old man who's always trash talking Martin, but it seems to be out of extremely high standards rather than personal malice. And the moment Martin indicates he's in danger Jon is thinking about how to keep him safe and comfortable. The fact he wasn't going to push Martin into making a statement says a lot, I think.

On one side the whole him losing his phone while Jon still receives his texts (which are obviously now not from him) is kinda expected but creepy, but on the other side it makes me ridiculously happy that Jon, who usually just doesn't take anyone really seriously (in the other episodes, but even at the beginning of this one when he says most people recording their stories are lunatics or something along those lines, I can't remember well), immediately suggests he stay in the archive room because it's well sealed, and takes this threat seriously even though almost every episode Martin is mentioned, Jon doesn't seem to hold him in high esteem.

I think this is my favourite episode so far. We've been hearing about Martin, yet never got to hear him. And when he does appear, boy oh boy, does he have a story to tell. I like Jon's voice, but even when he tries to emulate the emotions, he still reads it like a story. Martin told this honestly, with such emotion. There is something about his voice. Awkward, calming, unsettling at times.

Poor Martin's surprise at Jon taking him seriously for once made me "Aww..." Ya know, like an abused puppy who was shown kindness by the owner for the first time? Poor Martin, Jon please continue not giving him so much shit

keep forgetting that torch is another term for flashlight. the magnus lads just sound like the kind of people i'd expect to light an actual torch for this sort of job

I realize we’re all gushing over Martin but I love how this establishes how people view the Institute in the real world. It’s a public entity, this is a place people go to and work at that deals with the supernatural *openly*, which I imagine would make them look like crackpots to those who don’t know better.

I really like this approach to a supernatural academic entity. They’re not interested in covering anything up like, say, the SCP Foundation. They are merely into studying it. It’s really cool :)
