Would it be ethically ok to rerecord statements onto personal tapes

I've been thinking about starting to make tapes from the episodes for a completely personal collection (not planning to sell them at all) is this an ok thing to do or should I avoid doing so because it's intellectual property

Probably a silly question but I wanted to check to make sure

What could he possibly be thinking about

I drew Jon again , I really love this sketch actually which is surprising since it was a test on a new drawing app (Clip Studio) so I might just finish it later

They were never gone in the first place

Just saw this on the nightvale sub and felt a sudden loss of control over my body and this is how this post came to be

The Corruption Got Me

Was moving over the weekend and had to deconstruct our trampoline. I didn’t see the wasps nest and my hand went into it. Lots of wasps, lots of stings and pain. I’ve now had wasp nightmares every night since. I feel like I’ve been marked.

I dream about magnus archives last night

There was a 15th fear called The Poop which was the fear of poop and it was created from The Corruption

Fear Avatar ideas

I'm going to draw myself as an avatar for each fear but I feel like they each need some themes and professions. Some are easy, stranger for example has a ton of options and the eye has a rather established aesthetic, but some I'm just completely lost on. Can you guys give me ideas for each fear/jobs that avatars for the fears might have? As I draw them I'll post them here if anyone is interested.

Something occurred to me during a relisten

The episode that Nikola abducts Jon. He says but you don't sound Russian? And Nikola goes on explaining that she doesn't have a voice box and had to borrow this one.

Okay and then the episode with the plumber in the forest I think or probably the episode with the original Breekon and Hope. It's said that they can see someone talking to a figure at the end of a dock.

Like does Nikola just continue to borrow voice boxes or did she just say that to Jon to scare him? Because otherwise how would she communicate with others? Or is that also a supernatural thing?

Conspiracy board part 8, supplemental

Supplement to my Conspiracy Board, Part 8 (link in comments). Just after MAG50

Elias is the obvious pick for who killed Gertrude. Since I think he's to obviously a red herring, that means he's not actually a red herring, only meant to look like one (double-negative herring). Lacking motive for now.

Also, not considering anyone from outside the institute yet, as most of those (like the fire ritual thing in MAG37) would be magical deaths and not a gun.

Across the Street

MAG 3 - Across the Street

In retrospect, I probably should've made the table design more web-like, this design is more akin to fractals, but oh well!

Conspiracy Board returning! (Part 8)

Dear diary

It's been 3 months since my last post....

After finishing season 1 I hit a really busy period, but I'm picking up the series and conspiracy board again (it has been screaming at me every day i walk past it!)

First of all, I've redrawn the board again. It was getting cramped and some parts had begun to be obvious nonsense or irrelevant, so better to start anew. The first picture is the new board, focusing on what I've sort of landed on as the "Major Fears" entities, their connections to Jørgen Leitner's books and how they're connected to eachother through either people or places. This is just after MAG50.

The other pictures are from just before I erased the board, if nothing else than to simply have easier access to it rather than scrolling through my phone.

So, quick theory time:

In MAG50, George Gilbert Scott seems to have, intentionally or not, created what I've just nicknamed the "Endless Corridor" with his workhouse designs. This maze seems to be able to pop up anywhere, so long as its mysterious door can appear, including inside the archive itself. At first I thought this might mean it's directly a "Major Fear" itself, but if George Scott made it that doesn't make sense. And because I couldn't decide if it's directly connected to The Alone or some other entity, I'm leaning more towards it being used by the entities to trap people and lure them in.

I'm also wondering if Robert Smirk or one of his students is directly connected to the Leitner Library, but with so many years between them that doesn't make much sense.

Gerard Kay is definitely going to be a key figure going forward, with how many connections he has to various entities (including The Fire, which I haven't made a line to yet) and at least 3 Leitner books. I'm guessing he used to be associated with the Magnus Institute and/or The Eye (hence his zippo with an eye design), but was not content with simply observing and began fighting the cults/entities. The police who have been "sectioned", like Basira, are also opposing the cults, but obviously can't admit that for legal reasons.

Because of the zippo connected with Gerard, I'm also thinking John Sims is somehow connected to The Web (his zippo with a web design), but I'm not sure how yet. The guess is there's more to The Web than just spiders/arachnophobia and the possible fractal connection, but no idea what yet.

Also (shoutout to Tim), I think Basira might've fallen for John, but he is completely oblivious.

I'll try not to wait 3 months for the next update, especially as I understand I want to finish the series so I can begin the other related series as well

A Leitner for The Corruption?

Full credit to u/Rigumaa and their post r/camphalfblood/s/urgnZDk7BK for the original. (I don't know why it wouldn't let me just crosspost to here. I guess that's been turned off for the sub?)

Redoing 160

Okay, ik y'all appreciated the last one, but this time I want something that is actually centered and incorporates all the fears.

So far I have:

- Buried (tombstones)

- Corruption (centipedes)

- Desolation (flame motifs by the eye)

- End (skulls in bottom corners- just sketches rn)

- Eye

- Slaughter (blades by the eye)

- Web

What I'm currently thinking:

- spiral could be a fractal pattern in the box by the spider

- dark could be closed eyes on the side of the frame where those open side boxes are- similar to the pendants worn by the members of the People's Church of the Divine Host

- stranger could either be an angler fish or theatre masks

But I still need something concrete for the rest, Lonely, Hunt, Flesh, and Stranger.

Tbf, the tombstones at the bottom do have the crack in them, which is a reference to Evan Lucas' fiancés statement about the Lonely, so it could be a two for one
