Alex’s intro voice is more terrifying to me than any of the actual horror in the entire series…but the fluff is excellent fun haha

Murdo Homewood

the way this music automatically shuts off all my higher cognitive powers,,,

LainyJP

"Insert attachment here" 😂🤣🤣

corvidae

alex. what the fuck. im so happy.

Sinclair Cross

I LIVE for the soft piano music with a gently-speaking Alex

Ren MacKinnon

the tenderness of the intros...... my brain truly doesn’t know what to do with the influx of serotonin

Caligula

why did the intro genuinely make me feel better after a rough morning lmao

LainyJP

Ok now that I've listened past the Alex intro.... Hilarious and mortifying! I've blanked out on common words SO many times 🤣

Maloni

Low-key ASMR intro...

Syrus Brynger

I would sell my soul for an hour long ASMR of Alex's intros for these. Seratonin in sound form, apparently

Ari

Can we have a mini series of Alex reading storybooks and singing lullabies?

Abigail Espinoza

Jon saw a subordinate standing on one leg flapping his arms and said, "that's the one. That's the man i shall one day wed."

ThirdFromTheLeft

ahahaha. "Insert attachment here" and Jon listing all the items he left made my day. Also "that's convenient" is basically a declaration of love from S1 Jon xD lolol.

SpookMouse

so like 2020 abruptly got even worse for me (not an uncommon experience these days I'm sure) and I haven't had the emotional fortitude to listen to the new episodes for Act 2, but these little bits of fluff are...... really keeping me going tbh. like to the point of getting a little inappropriately emotional about it. so thanks.

Josefien Kwakkenbos

As per the ASMR instructions: What a lovely, funny fluff ep. Jon can be little a bastard, as a treat

romi רוֹמִי

Just started listening and I am Scared to have Alex being nice directly in my ears

MuddyHippy

The calming piano music sets off my fight or flight instinct ever damn time but that whole entry was priceless! Jon you absolute sod, I love you! Martin, I am so sorry, I've had that happen to me too many times to count!

romi רוֹמִי

Aww Martin, buddy, we've all been there, forgetting words. Don't worry. And omg of course Jon gets a kick out of Martin trying to describe birds he's forgotten the names for with gestures. (Ngl, I would too.) I love Tim telling Jon to take it easy on Martin, though. That was sweet.

Maddie

This is cute and I also love the implication that for some reason Jon's presence makes Martin forget the names of large exotic birds. Just watch, it'll be emu next!

Seren Mist

genuinely the intro almost made me tear up. its so soft. alexander j newell i would die for you

Kira S

Hearing Alex get a little more unhinged for each intro is truly the best part of my day when a new fluff is released. the Fluff entries are what inspired me to pledge as high as I could for Rusty Quill, and they have been one hundred percent worth it. (In addition to feeling good about supporting you guys!)

The Magnus Archives Was A Comedy

this is the first fluff entry with an intro that didn't make me want to run screaming into the hills, thank you Alex. also i developed at LEAST 5 cavities from the fluffiness so you'll be hearing from my dentist

Elizabeth Coretto

Could you include a trigger warning for something along the lines of mocking a character behind their back? A lot of folks who are either neurodivergent or anxious, or have been bullied/mocked for behavior related to such, including myself, were upset or even triggered by this content, especially considering we were expecting it to be pure fluff. No rude intentions towards the author are meant, but a heads up would be appreciated. Thank you!

Bethany King

Could you please add a bullying or similar content warning? With this being framed as fluff, it triggered a lot of anxiety, especially since some of the things being made fun of are typical of neurodivergent people.

Elizabeth Wynn

Alex tells me he's taking care of himself asmr

Kylie Dixon

thank u for the serotonin I love this so much

Rusty Quill

Hey folks - thank you to everyone who has sent feedback & constructive criticism with regards to today's piece. Taking that into consideration, I have added content warnings into the notes for some of themes presented.

Kirsti S

Much appreciated. I sincerely hope most listeners will only get warm fluffy feelings from this, but I also wish there was more awareness in the world about how bullying can lead to lasting damage, including PTSD.

Laura Bailey

I am WHEEZING and so is my wife. Thankyou for this.

Kaycee

Alex’s opening monologues are going to be the death of me in the best way possible

mimi

Made my day! ☺️💞 Jon doing it on purpose to see what Martin will do is incredible. Love these so much!!

Sadie Moon

I'm sure this is what he's going for but I can't take Alex seriously in the least with that voice.

HailtotheQueenJ

This reminds me of the time my friend's daughter couldn't remember the sign for "penguin" so she signed "bird fish" instead. Martin is a joy.

Sinclair Cross

That's beautiful! I remember when I couldn't remember what a broom was, so I called it a 'stick with whiskers that cleans the floor'

Grace

Is it just me or Alex could pass as voice actor in random Otome Game 😂

Samantha Leighann

Oh I needed that laugh so badly. The mental image of martin the flamingo. I'm in tears from laughing so hard.

deeeeeeeeee

Alex 💀😭💀 THE INTROOOOO I CANT

Frank Voss

i'm not sure anything has ever made me as uncomfortable as this intro

the-lonely-desolation

I have never been so flustered in my life. The intro the statement I just... I need to go back to one of the episodes that actually scare me cause I don't know how to deal with how bad I am blushing rn.

Mari

I’m not saying if Alex started an ASMR channel it would take over my YouTube feed but...

MarlaBothBothIsGood

The grin in my face right now is so huge It kind of hurts (worth It though)

Emma Green

Wow the archivist impression is really good 😂

Mara Elkheart

I. Am. CRYING. Martin flapping his arms! *dead*
