Basically, this is a complete episode overview including, but not limited to:
statement number&name
place & date of event
statement giver
recurring characters
themes & connections to other episodes
etc.
for all your sorting pleasure, so that the meta may continue.
There are some things I have not figured out, like date and place for some statements, so if you want leave me a comment to help me out. If there is something you’d like added/revised in the sheet let me know. Fair warning there is a note&speculation section where I added some information on the statements but also some personal thoughts. And the themes are not always clear to order, soo…
Special thanks to the Magnus Archive Wiki, without which I’d have been totally lost, and Rusty Quill and Jonny Sims for getting me hooked enough on the Magnus Archives to work on this thing.
Have fun!
( @regulusly I think you were looking for something like that?)
Holy shit, this is amazing! Thank you so much for putting this together. I haven’t worked through it yet, but this is an epic undertaking that is going to be invaluable during meta!
OneNote is literally god’s gift to this earth. [ header art ]
I downloaded OneNote onto my mac air through my school’s office365 [which is a microsoft email login thing but is easily accessible on any kind of device and you can just delete the email acc later if you want]. OneNote can be accessed on a laptop, computer or ipad/tablet. i believe OneNote is available on the appstore as well?
I use OneNote as a digital bullet journal / planner and to write down all my study notes. i also have actual books for my study notes but i tend to prefer OneNote.
OneNote is super easy to use! think of it like an actual book:
1. DESIGNING THE COVER
When you open OneNote for the first time it will ask you to create a Notebook. You can name it whatever you wish and even choose the colour of it! You can have as many Notebooks as you like, so go wild !!
2. CHAPTERS
In your Notebook, you can have “chapters”, called sections or tabs. Depending on whether you use OneNote as a bujo or for study notes, these tabs can look like this:
3. PAGES
Time to fill your chapters! These pages will contain all of your content. Whether that’s a weekly spread in your bujo or a page on DNA molecules in your humanbio Notebook. You can have as many as you want! Pages on OneNote tend to look like this:
Once you click on which page you want, it’ll open !
4. SPREADS [for planners]
Spreads are completely personalised and customised depending on you! Anything you do in your physical bujo you can do on OneNote. Habit checker? Tables? Homework diary? Inspirational quotes? Cute doodles? Day-to-Day planner?
This is just an example of mine, you can do WHATEVER YOU WANT with yours !!
5. STUDY NOTES
My study notes are basically just what my teacher says during class or puts on the board, which is why they’re almost always in bullet point form like this:
But obviously, you can edit your notes to be however you’d like them !!
6. OTHER INFO
One feature i really like about one note is the fact you can make the paper look like whatever you want. such as blank paper, margined + lined paper, graph paper etc. this is really helpful when writing notes and especially drawing diagrams !!
also, across the top is literally everything you’ll ever need.
IN CONCLUSION:
Please download OneNote !! it’s so user-friendly and customisable. I was honestly shocked that more people weren’t using OneNote in the studyblr community. It’s such a lifesaver near test + exam time because all of your notes are in one place !!
also, OneNote autosaves and doesnt close if you close your laptop [as long as you’re not logged out or the computer is shut down] so you’ll never lose your work !!
HERE is another post about me yelling about OneNote lmao
If you have any questions or problems, feel free to ask !! ((-:
how did anyone manage to be on time for anything before the invention of alarm clocks, like????
shit i actually know this frowny
1. way back, the idea of time was much looser than it was now. ‘sunup’ was good enough.
2. church bells were important for organizing entire towns and giving people schedules – though they tended to be more nebulous than on the hour. instead church bells would ring for ‘start of evening services’ or something like that.
3. accurate measurement of time with sundials and clockwork to keep that time is what really made our current perception of time, and the idea of being on time at all.
5. for a period of time when people had schedules (e.g. industrial revolution ‘be here at eight on the factory floor’) but technology was not small enough/easily-made enough for everyone to have an alarm clock, it would be somebody’s actual job to keep tabs on the time and then knock on people’s windows to get them up in the morning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knocker-up

Most important is the width, height can be whatever you want up to a point. GIF that are next to each other must be the same height or tumblr will crop them. 3MB+ will not work.More on tumblr sizes
where are those startups that are disrupting the glasses industry
zenni and it’s amazing and i love it 40 dollar bifocals fuck yeah
Hey I’m reblogging this again because if you need glasses here’s what I do:
Go to Costco/Sams Club/WalMart – wherever they’ve got that $58 eye exam. That’s with no insurance, btw. Just $58 cash on the counter, you get your eyes examined.
They’ll give you a copy of your prescription. ASK THE DOCTOR TO MEASURE YOUR PUPIL DISTANCE. If they don’t it’s not a huge deal, you just have to have a ruler around that has millimeters so you can measure it yourself and it won’t be as accurate but being off by as much as a centimeter isn’t a problem.
Make them give you a copy of your prescription – you are allowed to have this, they have to give you it, you don’t have to buy glasses there. If anyone challenges you say you need a copy for your records and you’re not going to buy glasses today.
Go to https://www.zennioptical.com/ and start looking at frames/glasses that you like. If you create an account it’ll let you upload a photo and based on your pupil distance the site will estimate how well various frames will fit you.
Add the frames you like to cart and start checking out – the checkout process will ask you for your RX details that will be written in the boxes on your RX page. It’s pretty intuitive to copy it over but if you get lost use the livechat feature on the zenni page.
Start selecting your glasses details. Your RX will determine what kind of lens you get (go with the one zenni recommends for materials and thickness) but your needs will determine the other stuff. I make sure to get the fancy oleophobic coating because I’m a slimy bog monster. I also get the cheapest pair of sunglasses possible because bog monsters hate the sun. You can get transitions lenses or anti-scratch coating or super lightweight lenses or whatever works best for you. The extras will add up in cost but you gotta do what you gotta do – my life is much better with a pair of sunglasses than it is with some clip-ons for my regular glasses; your life may be better with transitions lenses instead of carrying a second set of glasses. DO WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU.
Don’t bother paying the rush shipping, this is going to take two weeks regardless.
GLASSES ARRIVE. WEAR GLASSES.
If the fit isn’t perfect see if the place that did your eye exam will adjust the fit for you. They often will free of charge.
GLASSES. GLASSES. I CAN SEE.
PROGRESSIVE BIFOCALS THAT COST $40 WITH CUTE FRAMES AND NICE COATING.
SUNGLASSES.
FUCK
It costs less for me to get two pairs of bifocals, one tinted and one clear, with special coatings and nice frames than it would cost me to get one pair of single-vision glasses from Warby Parker.
The cheapest frames available for adults on Lenscrafter’s site is $69.95. That is JUST the frames, not the lenses. The lenses are like $200. The anti-glare coating is like $70. THE ANTI GLARE COATING IS FREE AND INCLUDED WITH YOUR PURCHASE AT ZENNI. Just the frames and the coating at lenscrafters costs more than my two pairs of glasses AND my eye exam.
I can’t articulate how many literal headaches Zenni has saved me because I just used to wear my old prescription until I had trouble keeping my eyes open from the strain. Now at the first hint of eye strain it’s like “Not today, Satan!” and I can plan for the $100 expense that’s going to last me potentially years.
I’ve had glasses places try to bully me into buying their overpriced glasses (even though they were supposed to offer eye exams no strings attached.) The Stanton Optical manager called me repeatedly trying to get my sale, after one of his employees literally mocked me for wanting to buy cheaper glasses online. I was firm about it and didn’t give in because fuck them.
also just a quick note on pupil distances:
if you’re PD is like mine and ends in a .5 or something like that and they only have whole numbers put the nearest whole number in the box then add a note with your real PD and they’ll fix it
I wanted to write an analysis of Gunnerkrigg Court’s first chapter, which I consider very strong, but it’s kind of not coming together right now for me :/. You should check it out, though. It’s a short (15 pages counting the cover) story that sets the mood of the comic and what you can expect to get if you keep reading it, which is more important than setting up the plot. Seeing stuff like that is why Saffron’s first chapter is a ten page adventure short introducing you to the idea of the comic without getting too bogged down into the premise/plot, which is usually the least interesting part of a story.
I’d also like to direct your attention to the first Skin Horse strip
I think this one strip is almost perfect as an introduction to Skin Horse. If you’re lookin’ to buy what Skin Horse is lookin’ to sell, this strip tells you all you need to know. You can make the decision on whether or not to read Skin Horse right now, just from this.
There’s a mistake a lot of writers make (and I made it with LotH) which is to treat the story as the most interesting part of the comic, but it rarely is.
This is a very basic bit of narration, but this page effectively tells you that Gunnerkrigg Court is about a girl at a creepy-ass school who encounters a bunch of weird shit. This is a pretty good summation of GC as a comic (though the first chapter of Gunnerkrigg Court the comic makes Gunnerkrigg Court the school a lot more ominous and creepy than it’s portrayed as in later chapters, but that’s the natural evolution of a comic over time).
One cover and one page into Unsounded, and you know that the artwork is exceptional and a big draw of the comic, and you have a pretty good idea of the two main characters and the dynamic between them. What’s the comic about? I don’t fucking know, but I know why I might want to read it.
Don’t worry about setup. If you’re going long, you have infinite pages. Just show me what you got, and why I should stick with you for it.
hi your local jew here reminding you that cherubim, seraphim, nephilim, and words of that nature ARE PLURAL and therefore should not be used to refer to a singular one of these creatures like i see every day of my g-dforsaken life
a single instance would be referred to as a cherub, a seraph, a nephil, et cetera
these words originated from hebrew, and in hebrew -im and -ot are our plural endings. so if you say, like, nephilim in order to refer to a single nephil, it’s like you’re saying “look, a dogs!” it just doesn’t match up and you look really silly
goyim you can reblog please do so to spare yourselves and your friends from this thing that i legitimately see everywhere i turn
