A Mouthwashing (and How Fish is Made) fansong, unfortunately from Jimmy’s POV mostly, sorry. 🐴 Music and lyrics by me, PhemieC
NOTE: this is my first fansong in five years, and sad to say but my voice has been decimated by illness in the last few years, so please don’t go into this expecting it to sound the same as my old stuff.
That being said, I have released an instrumental version, and I would LOVE to hear covers from other vocalists! Feel free to post and sell if you make a cover as well. <3
LYRICS UNDER CUT
[verse 1] Momma bird sleeping and her nest is empty Pretty and clean I feel the crease of envy Cutting a line right through the sky above me Healthy and green just like a good tree should be Momma bird leaving now her eggs are lonely Out from the underbrush I creep so slowly I’ll lay my own, her home is sound and safe, he’s Grey like a stone among her round blue babies She’ll never tell if she’s a few shells lighter Quick cracking clever comes my little fighter Babes that feel safer they hatch so much slower Thrown down below then by my own fast grower Momma returns to feed her only child he Smells like a stranger and he cries so loudly Drinks of his fill while I look up on proudly Picking away at the discarded bounty
[chorus] What hides inside has the skill to thrive Do you have the will to decide to survive? A parasite needs you alive To feed their growing appetite
[verse 2] Thing crawling thirsty, shared flesh, a blessing Drink of my stagnancy, the taste refreshing Carry a part of me and keep on climbing Top of the ladder’s just a place for dying Dread in your gullet, ignore it, buddy Lead in the bullet, it’s harmless, mostly Let me consume you, let you defend me Curling protector, my friendly fresh meat Im in control now and I like the feeling I’ll play the role of every wound you’re healing Follow the leader was always my thing Swallow your pills and lay still, unwrithing Master of puppets is my one objective Real apex predators can be selective Relay your message, it won’t stop the spread if I replace your tongue when I open your head up
[chorus] What hides inside has the skill to thrive Do you have the will to decide to survive? A parasite keeps you alive To feed their growing appetite
[verse 3] My stress relief, she keeps asking questions I can’t believe she thinks I’ll learn her lesson Nothing outside of me will ever get in No mocking birdie with an unblinking grin Four beating hooves, I hate to hear them thunder Trample the metal tomb I’m buried under braying beast, neighing in the womb inside her Breaking its legs to glue you back together
[chorus] What hides inside has the skill to thrive Do you have the will to decide to survive? A parasite needs you alive To feed their growing appetite…

Hi!! I hope it's okay if I add on to this! Your analysis around doors and choice in tma is so well written!
Your words also remind me of how doors in the magnus archives are somewhat representative as a death of self. Michael offering Jon an escape from the Stranger through death through his door. Michael transforming into Helen through his own door rejecting him. Elias opening the door to the archives to murder Jurgen leitner- effectively transforming the whole way we understand his character in the podcast. The same thing happens when he murders Gertrude, and our understanding of his identity changes once again.
Also, Jon visualizing his connection to the Eye through the medium of a door is especially interesting given the context of his trauma with Mr Spider's door. His fear of unbecoming -of the rest of his humanity drowning- under the weight of the Archivist behind his own door is really compelling under this lense! It gives this line so much more weight than it already has.
Thank you once again for your analysis. I shall be rotating it like a rat spinning to the hit song "free bird" in my head for the foreseeable future.
mag 81 - "a guest for mr spider" // mag 92 - "nothing beside remains"
a guest for mr spider is a top tier statement to me for a lot of reasons but the way it explains why jon is like That. his desire for answers is not a funny little protagonist quirk that dooms him or whatever, it exists because when he was eight he saw someone disappear behind a door, he was offered a mystery and then he spent the rest of his life chasing after answers, opening doors (elias is playing his victim blaming card over there because he's manipulated jon by denying him necessary information that Would've discouraged him from making a lot of those choices, like accepting the job! but he's also not lying). and doors in the podcast are a recurring symbol of separation of the mundane from the supernatural (it's also in the way every ritual speaks of metaphorically "opening a door"), jon's first fear mark involves him being traumatised (at a formative age. he was eight! something about the way that book was designed to attract a child is kind of vile to me, but why would the entities discriminate based on age?)—and traumatised in such a manner that it also cultivates in him a lifelong desire to seek out the supernatural. because he needs to know, something incomprehensible happened to him and he needs to understand. this doesn't mean he brought that all on himself, it's just another thing the podcast has to say about trauma and how it leaves its mark upon you (and in jon's case, tangibly. you are living a chronicle of terror)
mag 101 - "another twist" // mag 160 - "the eye opens"
Having a Squip like that must suck.
DON’T SCROLL, ITS TAKES LESS THAN 30 SECOND TO SPREAD AND LESS THAN 10 MINUTES TO READ
I made a doc, explaining and trying to summarize it. I also attached some of the many evidences of police brutality in the protests of the last days. I am missing things, but I hope this can help.

what if midnight mass was MERRY and JOLLY and filled with CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
Someone probably already did this, mother please forgive me for my sins
AAAAAA! Holy cannoli!! This is absolutely lovely!! Mr Magnus's pose as he walks down the street is so good! He's just having a good time! Completely unaware of the consequences!! Jon in the background is amazing too! Holy moly!
Thank you so, so much for making such amazing and lovely art! I'm a big fan of Jonah's outfit and color palette! He's so fancy! I'm going crazy I'm going rabid-
I had to google Regency Era for Jonelias Week, and I just finished re-reading @paptato ‘s “A Little Game of Cat and Mouse” sooooo…. Have this incredibly lazy sketch of Mr Magnus enjoying a stroll :D
