Lowri Ann Davies, the unsung hero of the Rusty Quill network 💕

Eric is a friend of mine and he's in the midst of a medical emergency, so hearing his dedication caught me off guard.

Ishmam

New newbie! Excited to hear Celia's reactions to the cases, given the strange circumstances surrounding her appearances last time around!

BloodyBaroness

Ohhhh, I already love Celia! (Now, all I gotta do is not get attached xD)

Ams

Oooo new character! Can’t wait to see more of her

Emily Palomo

Yasss Lowri!!! I'm so glad she's here finally

Parker

CELIA ARE YOU THE SAME CELIA I NEED TO KNOW. Also this one was so scary!

Andy G

I seriously thought that was Luke Booys!

sAZAndorable

Hooooly heck, what an episode!!! A new favourite, the voice acting job was especially amazing from everyone in this ep, the case was *so* fun, and omggg this was NOT one of my theories for how we'd get Celia!! I love her!!! Ohhhhh it's gonna get MESSY

Anthony&

How do I give Harry Roebuck five hundred thousand awards for this??????????? Please it’s vital 😳 MINDBLOWING EPISODE SO MUCH TO CHEW ON. Going to find out how many times I can relisten to it in one day. Hhh.

TheMunsterMash

Needles is amazing! I hope some of these “statement” givers are recurring characters because I very much want to hear more from them all

Kat Kubin

“Four weirdos in a basement, reading scary stories. Dream job!” OUCH. Talk about a blast from the past…

Brandon Barnes

Okay, as a crisis centre volunteer (not quite the police but) picking up a call like this is surely one of my deeper nightmares

sAZAndorable

Knocked it out of the PARK, I loved him as Gaius and holy expletive he's got RANGE huh!!!

Rowan

Genuine question: is the spelling error in the transcript of "Choco Liebnitz" intentional or not? If it's the brand i'm thinking of it should be spelled "Leibniz".

Kaloum Lanier

My absolute favorite episode so far. I love Needles and the voice acting is chef’s kiss.

esmeeeeeeee

this was soooo good!!!! dont get attatched, dont get attatched, dont get a-

Rusty Quill

thats just my inability to spell (April. EP)

Liddy

Every week I listen with headphones and every week I forget how chilling the intro music is

Rowan

Ah! Thanks for letting me know

Roggepan

New fandom sexyman spotted!!!

James White

The gasp I gasped, CELIA

tzigi

So Celia says "I don’t scare so easy these days.". Does this sound like "after living through the Eyepocalipse, my standards for what scares me are way higher than a vaguely spooky job"? And "Four weirdos in a basement reading scary stories. Dream job." is just what Lynne Hammond saw when she came to give her statement in MAG100, right?

Artur Król

Needles is so awesome. The only issue I have is the episodes are just too short...

Cas D

ah yesss our first villain, needles. it's giving distortion but more violent vibes. Also idk what Alice teasing sam about Alice sure seemed to love bantering with Celia so maybe she's deflecting. XD

Basil

MEEEE

Kayla Martin

“So, yeah, Celia it is.” MY LOVE WELCOME BACK

syd

so at what point do i get to declare myself president of alice's fanclub

Meg

@RustyQuill I am in your WALLS

Jelly

I appreciate how they made this one overtly hostile and the fandom isn't batting an eye lol

Artur Król

Am I reading it right from the comments that Celia is a returning character? If so, where from?

Artur Król

I'm getting new Nikola Orsinov vibes :) Also, I adore the subtle "needlebox shaken" noise Needles seems to have, lovely touch.

Anthony&

yeah alice is so strongly “coworker that makes this hellhole bearable” to me like i would want to come to work just to hang out with her, unironically

Julia Diem

I am LIVING for Needles.

Dihara J

she gave a statement in mag100 and appeared as a minor character in S5. unclear on what the deal is with her, there are some interesting questions surrounding her name, but not going to spoil anything here in case someone has not listened to archives fully.

Martha

ikr! the first thing I did when it came out was play everyone a side by side to show how much more creepier it is (they do not listen to Magnus, nor do they care)

Martha

honestly, it was more shocking to me that it was being pronounced properly and not just as 'chocolate lesbians' like everyone says 😂

MarlaBothBothIsGood

THATFUCKINGPHONECALLOBSSESSED *wears Needles Number 1 Fan T-shirt* Also CELIAAS

Kate McKiernan

Notably, Celia from Archives is also voiced by Lowri, which is part of why people (including myself) are loosing their minds.

Kate McKiernan

Really delightful episode! I’m so excited to have Lowri joining us. I’ve been really looking forward to Celia’s story since the casting announcement. (And the implications! Maybe more Helen and Anil???) Loving Celia’s last name; I hope it means you’ll give us some time with her before she goes kayaking. Needles is wonderful, and we got a great introduction here of why Jonny said he’s his favorite to write. Very much resonates with Nikola’s joyful energy while also being very different.

Trisidael

Needles is giving Michael Distortion vibes in the BEST way!!! Obviously more Slaughter aligned than Spiral, but otherwise spot on! I’m more than a little obsessed already!!! 😍 Also, CELIA?!!! Please be the same Celia from the original series! 🤩 (Also, Sam’s crush on her is cute. I’m hoping it doesn’t end miserably for either of them, but knowing this series, that’s a tall ask. 🥲)

Haze Peers

This is INCREDIBLE! Can I request that Eye Injury is added to the TW's please? it took me by surprise! <3

Trisidael

Thought: If this Celia is the same Celia from Georgie and Melanie’s cult, then that means she met Jon and Martin, right? I’m going to be paying extra attention to how she reacts to “Norris” and “Chester’s” voices, when she eventually hears them!

Anthony&

OKAY, now that I’ve relistened what feels like several dozen times, more coherent review: 1) immediately in love with Celia, she’s so precious and good-humored! Lowri’s nailing it. and i can already tell Sam is so excited to have someone new around 🥺 so looking forward to more of their cute banter. this is really bringing back memories of my many years working nights, oof. 2) i find it so interesting how utterly dismissive Gwen is of Celia compared to how she treated Sam when he first started. i think it will be fun to see them one on one later, find out what their dynamic can shape into. 3) wow, Joe Bence’s voice is more familiar than i expected it to be. GREAT debut for speaking part — the exasperation of it all, lmao — and i hope we hear more of him :) if not in this then in other productions! gonna go look him up. 4) i wasn’t scared of needles before this but i may be persuaded. if they STAYED in the guy after their “cuddle” then i guess they come off? does Needles just continuously regrow them like sharks teeth? fascinating… 5) superb sound design (AS ALWAYS) it’s really helping me visualize what everyone’s doing, how they’re moving and interacting with each other. and of course Needles’ sound design was ridiculously fun, I hope it was as fun to create as it was to listen to. And that we get a little more of it someday :3 High hopes, given what Alice said about closure — that sounds like foreshadowing to ME, but then a lot of what she says sounds like foreshadowing just all the time. Accidental prophetess Alice ftw??? 6) I will now be completely unable to stop thinking of Lena as Big Bird, thanks. 7) Alice’s evil little laugh when Sam mentioned steering clear of Colin… your honor, I love her. actually her relationship with Sam got SOOOO much love this episode and I adore it. friendly exes is my most beloved trope. and for the record as a former nights worker she’s so correct about the blackout curtains, UGH. (unfortunately I’m with Sam on the caffeine until you die agenda, never did manage to kick that. Alice is right and I would know. but i will not change😭) This episode has seriously got my hamster wheel brain going all hours, GUH, the week between now and new episode feels SO LONG… kudos guys… TMP is truly a podcast👌👌👌

Artur Król

I'd have to wonder if it's Slaugher. Maybe Flesh in the deformation aspect? And certainly Desolation is an option (damn I hate the Desolation)? Eh, exiting to find out how it goes :)

Trisidael

True, Needles’ actual alignment is currently up for interpretation, as we’ve only had this episode to get a read on him so far. 😊 I went with Slaughter, because he seems mainly interested in inflicting the fear of violence/pain on his victims, rather than warping their bodies in gruesome ways (like the Flesh or Corruption), or aiming for the destruction of things or people that are cherished by others (like the Desolation). Although, I sense there’s also a touch of Hunt in him, as well, I feel like his main alignment is Slaughter. But, that may change as we, hopefully, learn more about him. 😊

DavidCoppAFeel

It didn't even register to me Celia's name and I was just relistening to those episodes last nite

DavidCoppAFeel

Why not both I mean Annabelle Cain said the end goal of the web was apotheosis what if we're getting a mix between the fears like the slaughter and spiral giving us Needles

Sydney Linders

Ave Gaius! I was like Needles sounds familiar and then I saw it was Harry Roebuck!! Happy to see him caught in the Magnus Web (pun intended)

Aaron

This one, this one is my favorite of all the episodes so far

FyreFlye23

Alice wasn't the worst in this episode!

Bruna G

Wouldn’t this be somewhere else’s Celia, though? I mean, there should be two Celias, right? Edit.: (TMA SPOILERS) ohhhhh she’s the one who lost her name in the eyepocalypse. But Lynne 1 and Lynne 2 could still be similar enough to choose the same alias, imo. I hope this means more Agnes lore, though!

FyreFlye23

...I wonder what the insistence on the welcome food is. It's too on the nose for it to have something in it, right?

Teaberry

Anyone else tearing up at the dedication?

sammywhatammy

ah. yes. was wondering how long it would take for Jonny to scrape his nails down my proverbial chalkboard

Rurrie

CELIA!!!! IT'S CELIA!!!!
