something that is kinda cool to me is it seems like in tma you get the statements of people who made it out long enough to tell their story's, even if they died in the end they where able to go to the magnus institute and record their experience. in tmagp they are pulling story's from those who didn't make it out and have a place to record everything, its pulling from last emails and locked forum post, old blogs and letters. they don't have ways to know what happened to them.
I feel like the most consistent trait I see for Alice is mismatched fun socks and that resonates so truly, so deeply, I think Tumblr collectively reached into Jonny Sims' brain and plucked out an unconscious truth
Anyway, socks
alice & sam!! :D
That's what I look like before Pilates too 😌
-Christ before Pilate-
Sounds so real. Are we sure it's not real?
Literal fever dream left me with only the phrase "Buffy The Vampire Slayer vampire HOA episode" echoing in my head
In s5 of TMA Jon mentioned kids have more basic fears, like the Dark. What if they were building a whole other fear? Or trying to unite them into one power, alchemy style?
Hey Jonah. Jonah Magnus. Jimmy Magma. Why did you, the head of an institute dedicated to worshipping and feeding the fear god of knowledge, need a bunch of young, gifted children who would probably know more than other children their age?? Be honest with me Jonah. Did you need them for an attempt at a ritual?? You can be honest
TMAGP 9 SPOILERS
- Teddy lives! But lost his job...
- Chester serves up a Magnus Institute record to Sam just as he's about to give up...
- Celia hasn't seen the same amount of paperwork at all.
- Gwen's new job (and attitude) bore me. Presumably it will get interesting, but she's just got her first assignment.
- Sam says "I think I'll risk it"...right after a gambling case where risk killed two people. Slow your roll, son!
- SAM'S GOING TO THE MAGNUS INSTITUTE
- AND BRINGING ALICE. FUCK
Yo what if the archivist is a time travelling Sam
Ok but why did the archvist wanted celias memories specifically?
Punched in the face by a fly
Honestly, it deserved to get its own back
If you're behind in the Magnus Protocol or you haven't listened yet cause it hasn't "grabbed you"
Get caught up
I'm not joking
You have two days
Get caught up
Get caught up
GET CAUGHT UP
I like this interpretation! I'm thinking the Magnus Institute is not the problem. The problem is what left it - all those papers, gone.
Previously the statements were how the Eye fed, but the tape web of recorded statements was how the fears got exported to another world.
So if the statements escaped the Institute, maybe that's a Pandora's Box?
To be fair, Red canary also brought back a box 🧐
can't stop thinking about red canary.
Like it has to be a red herring+mine canary symbology combo. It's meant to send us on the wrong path. AND it's a serious warning. So the institute IS a genuine danger, but it's not the place to get answers? Do we interpret it as a message to the listeners or the characters?
