“ I was born down here
and I’ll die down here. Happy? “ please don’t be a foreshadow rusty, I really like her
oh no D:
^^^^^ let us have our mean Irish tgirl she is so funnnnnn I love her
That'd be dope tho.. and excellent writing
@@LoveisStoredInTheLain Correction: she’s Northern, not Irish
I both love how many Tim vibes she gets, and hate it. For one, REPLACEMENT TIM!!! On the other hand..she is a walking death Flag, with blatant foreshadowing, TIM LIKE PERSONALITY, and is already a fan favorite.. Yeah, I'm worried…
Colin vs cursed gay computers round 1
dont call Fready cursed! Thats the wrong classification; hes... haunted.
@@modman4842 possessed would fit as well
Oh man am I glad for that lil window into the comments before the vid starts
I'm cacklin + have no clue wtf this came from
By how done he's seems more like round 99999999999999999
I'm new here why is Freddie gay
"They seem to enjoy feasting on my wounds so I let them"
HE SAID IT SO CASUALLY I ALMOST LAUGHED MY DR PEPPER ONTO MY BEDSHEETS
I'm was drinking Dr. Pepper whilst reading this
@@purplepumpkin511 I also had Dr. Pepper
Fuck yes dr pepper enjoyers collecting under this comment
Touch grass?
No! Become grass!
I particularly like the WOBWOBWOBWOB MEERRRRRRRR MERRRR MERRRRRRRRR part of the new theme music
Like a giant opera toad with a tuba
SAME
It sounds like deep laughter
I'm always SEVERELY underprepared for it every episode ("every episode" we've only had 3 and the first 2 launched together, but you get my point)
Reminds me of the Salvation OST from destiny 2. Very fitting
There were so many references in this episode like "extinct itself" "being force fed my own keyboard" and it reminded me a lot of Jane's statement
I love it !
I think the extinction references fuels the theory that it is growing to be the dominant entity, plus the things with the code (technology) consuming Colin
@@imalittleladyAnd one thing I've noticed, first of all there's a ton of alchemy symbols in the show and in the logo, the upside down philosophers stone for the logo especially is interesting, and every statement so far has been about someone slowly changing, both physically and mentally
@@Nikowo1610 alchemy was a big part of the ARG too
@@imalittlelady Plus, the Extinction in TMA wasn't referred to as like, a violent and fiery extinction, right? It was described, if I remember correctly, as extreme climate change, and the rapid advancement of technology turning all living things into machines? I may be wrong.
But, if people are right about Jon/Martin/Jonah being trapped _inside_ the computer, and computers (ie technology) playing a huge role in this series, well...
Remember how everything in the Magnus Institute was carefully designed to benefit the Eye? And now this institute seems to have a climate that would benefit the Extinction. I think the foreshadowing couldn't be more clear.
@@bugjamsThe Extinction was not one particular looming event. What you described was accurate to the domain Jon and Martin found in the apocalypse, but that’s only a single manifestation. Other statements relating to it delved into very different scenarios, like nuclear annihilation, or a world where everyone is so malnourished and hungry that they ravenously tear the flesh off anything, even other people, and more. The constants that define a manifestation of The Extinction, as I understand it, are:
1) the world as we know it ends, in a literal or figurative sense
2) humanity either changes or is replaced by something unrecognisable and horrible
3) whatever remains still feels fear. A lot of fear
Of course, the Fear only manifests in the limited way that all Fears do, so all statements read like they are glimpses into a dark, twisted possible future, and the one about the nukes had a very strong element of ‘prophesying’ to it, but there’s no definitive promise to any of them, they’re just designed to make people afraid of the idea of Extinction. If it truly manifested, literally any form would do if it followed the constants. Heck, it could even come about through the other Fears, like all humanity becoming corrupted, or fleshy, or reduced back to the instincts of the hunt.
Anyway, I rambled on a bit, but the point is that any change would do, so if your suspicious of technology playing a big role in this and maybe taking people over, you probably have a right to be. Personally, I’m scared by the fact that Fears seem to be mixing more commonly in this world, making the idea of a Extinction hybrid manifestation much more of a possibility. Like a new sort of ritual level threat, perhaps, but with the capacity to actually work.
Ya know the intro music to archive was creepy and spooky. But, for protocol it feels way more threatening.
The music from TMA was like eerie and gave the sense of unease below the surface. TMP just punches you in the face with a very authoritarian horn like, “EVIL BEAUROCRACY!”
Oh thank Fork I’m not alone! TMP’s intro has NO right to go so hard but it does and I look over my shoulder when I hear it.
The ending music is so good. I want to listen to it nonstop.
archive how do more of a sense like a spooky house or a suspicious alley. protocol how are the sounds more like a beast waking up from a deep Slumber ready to kill pretty much everyone it sees.
I got to be honest I think the first one was creepier. This one to me feels like it's trying too hard or something I don't know it just does not hit the spooky notes for me, oh I know what it is It just comes across as this thing is broken and imminent a instead of this thing is malicious, hidden and dangerous... Edit: ohhhh, they are starting to blend them...
A .JMJ error, you say? 👀
Jon Martin Jonah, mayhaps?
Calling it now, whenever the system is crapping out, it’s because the three of them are fighting over who gets to read the spooky statement. lol
"Mom said it's my turn to read the spooky statement" >:(
“King of a ruined world” mfs when they get trapped in the windows pc
Jonah trying to surface and jmart smacking him away with a rolled up newspaper
i wonder if they're fighting NOT to read the spooky stuff, actually! a digital game of nose goes
@@drinkerofpaint yes
1:49 he’s already dealing with it like it’s sentient… great
It's as though Freddy's trying to make Colin *_Spiral_* into madness...
I wonder if it's Freddy or one of the other three
I know it’s not strictly the Fears from TMA but this 100% gives a Flesh and Corruption team up and I love it 🥰
Plus a bit of spiral for the inescapable garden.
Thus is born my little side-theory that the entities have all merged into one again just like at the beginning of humanity
My thoughts exactly
Jared would have loved that garden✨️
@@MaskedStranger-pz7nm That would make sense. Compressed all back together from the transition to a new universe.
Babe wake up, new cosmic horrors just dropped!!!
the part about going back into the earth slowly with awareness of the changes but gradually less panic sounded quite relaxing and beautiful, actually, guided meditation material tbh, except for the murdering and the running from the law part
besides that little, tiny, microscopic detail, yeah! I completely agree, it sounds blissful.
if there is one thing more demented than a Scottish person saying "purple burglar alarm," it's a Scottish IT technician working on a program with root code from the 90s. Honestly would act the same way under the circumstances.
Root code I see what you did there.
"I doubt there is a god for a paracitic garden that whispers with the voice of the woman you clearly murdered and sort of turns you into a tree."
Maybe not just one, but this REEKS of The Corruption, with a hint of The Flesh, 'cause our favourite gardner, Jared, would have loved this
I also think that the end fits - but I have to admit that ppl seem pretty on point in pointing out that it seems to be a blend of fears - The End, Flesh, Spiral, Eye, Corruption, Hunt all fit really well (Eye and spiral because he's on the run, being dangerously paranoid, and then getting lost in a strange garden with no escape)
I also think that Desolation, Stranger, Buried, and Extinction also have a vague sense in here. I've only listened to this once so I most certainly missed things so there might actually be even more (or less if I misheard/interpreted)
It's definitely a fun idea that they compressed in order to make it to other worlds, and so now they're in the process of spreading out like they did at the beginning of the world in the previous universe. At any rate, I'm excited to see where this story goes!
Yeah, there isn't really a horror that deals with plants, is there? Corruption might be closest, as it deals with insects and rot, which while gross to humans, are technically natural processes. It's just that the connotation of the word "corruption" doesn't really apply here, corruption makes you think of rot and bad stuff, but this is just a guy turning into a nice, green plant. He even says he "got the rot out" of himself.
It's also not very flesh-y since it sounds like he's completely abandoning his flesh body, not becoming a flesh-plant like in Jared's realm.
Collin is so relatable for pleading with machines and threatening them with death in the next breath. I feel that.
21:01 Eating a keyboard? Now where have I heard that before...
COMPUTER MUKBANG RETURNS?! 🤩
Clearly from the hit song “eating my computer” by elliotly, which is totally unrelated to any particular spooky podcast, and nowhere else ✨
@@arcainchaos ELLIOTLY MENTIONED!!!WHAT THE HELL IS A BAD SONG??????!!???
Screaming at a computer program that is barely working will never not be funny and understandable
I mean I don't _fully_ trust that they're completely unsentient, there's definitely something with them
Alright folks, its episode 3 which means we're gonna start theorizing in the comments again :)
So we know JMJ stands for Jon, Martin, and Jonah- and the system trying to "off itself" at any chance is probably more literal than they think. The trailer even has some lines of code intializing "primary master 1 & 2" & "primary slave 1" although the first two stated "error" while the 2nd master's state is "undefined".
Sam's joke about being forced to eat his keyboard is a callback to the Sergey Ushanka statement from TMA (ep 65 - Binary), probably a hint to the situation that Jon and Martin are in right now, sentient but unconscious as "the angles cut when they try to think". Gonna throw my two cents out there and say that Sam bringing in IT is gonna have some VERY interesting effects on the "FREDI'S" behavior in later episodes.
Edit: was talking about the star-crossed lovers comment and it just hit me that Norris was the one who read the statement about feeling the regret of killing the person you loved, FUCK.
The star crossed lovers, in universe we DO know. Maddie Webber is one, and Greg or Gary or something is the other. He has his wife's file and some random man. Who he one off mentions later, twice (" Would I need to show ID for that? I could lie, use a false name. I could be Gerald Andrews. I’m sure Maddie would have loved that."]
His wife was having an affair, he killed her (almost got caught doing it)
@@CheziahKatt yeah I relistened to the episode and caught onto that bit, missed it the first time. Sounds like he did get caught since he was on the run, but he'd gotten away with it for a while.
Never mind that we've got the new fears that are taking over now that the old Apex ones are out of the picture. It looks like we've got some of the hyper modern ones like inadequacy or social rejection which was the whole painter body dysmorphia thing and the fear of being fundamentally changed by external factors so basically the thing that makes people afraid of vaccines and GMOs as described by getting sick and turning into a tree which is honestly a heck of a lot closer to an actual medical condition than most people might be aware of, lol. They're even hinting at fear of not being able to understand complex systems from the past or technology degradation fears. Basically the loss of information through excessive innovation.
Nothing like a little workplace comedy to brighten my day
Aww hell yeah, it only took to episode 3 to truly, properly unsettle me. I can't wait for the nightmares 😀
! SPOILERS !
Seriously, though, I love how his narration shifts from referring to the roots as an infection, to treating what's left of his body as something to slough off. Positively unnerving.
SAME!!
I love when goblincore meets cosmic horror!!!
Just a note, as someone who has partially impaired hearing, THANK YOU for making the transcripts public, it helps so much with making sure I'm able to understand what's being said. I loved every minute of MAG and I'm loving every minute of TMP so far too!!
And for people who english is not their first language! I struggle a bit because of the accents, so I'm happy to hear them, enjoying their accents, and reading to understand what is going on.
gosh, same! Especially when it switches over to CCTV footage! I barely understand anything during those segments, and I'm glad I don't have to hunt around or try to replay it a million times just to understand what's being said
With the corruptions association with toxic love this statement reminds me alot of hanahaki
It's so weird to see "1 minute ago" under an episode I just can't--
Im at “26 minutes ago” and it just feels surreal
Came at "7 minutes ago"
It feels weird to listen to a podcast that didn't finish 5 years ago.
@@theicewolf16wolf22THIS.
I think either the fears are in a more primal state similar to how it was before we categorized them, or there more copaprative than in archive.
HELLO JON, APOLOGIES FOR THE DECEPTION
FUCK YOU I'VE BEEN HELLO JON FREE FOR MONTHS
“And I’ll die down here” I swear if Alice dies I’m gonna be so upset
Nice to see the Corruption is branching out.
"I *see* what you did there"
- some Beholding avatar who's name starts with J, probably.
Oooohhh a corruption episode??? 👀👀👀
I love how this one just describe his tree-fication in such a beautiful way (with the sun and the breeze and nature is wonderful n all that) it gave me the chills. This is, so far, my favorite.
I thought it resembles the flesh, The gardner episode
I feel like in Protocol they're doing more cross entity episodes? Like this one is corruption and flesh and spiral touched but I think maybe this time they're wanting to make it more clear that the fears bleed into each other rather than stay stagnant? If that makes sense
@@shoam8255 yea i do feel like the fears in tmgp are much more blended than tma, so it's fun to keep guessing.
Then corruption struck me first when he first talked abt getting infected then began to somewhat rot and all that (also the way he just spoke of his late wife, i assume). I suppose it could also be the flesh for the whole body modification, and honestly i hadn't thought about the spiral :0 even though clearly the guy was hallucinating shdjdndkld--
This video made me feel calmed, rather than scared haha
@@Coolingtulip honestly same lol
Fighting the urge not to throw up in public as i listen to this statement while eating my first meal of the day at 1:30pm but we don't stop that TMP grind
3:46 Those sneaky bastards! "Extinct itself" Like The Extinction!
Absolutely delighted I get to enjoy this series as it's being released; though it is quite agonizing to wait for the next episode
Precisely!
I just realized rusty quill is being cheeky. Here we have underpaid office workers trying to organize events into categories but failing to actually understand any of it. Then their experiences are picked up by the fan base trying to organize them into categories. Well played.
I love joyful acceptance in a body horror story
My current theory is that it's not fears this times but desires
*spoiler*
The first episode she had the desire to see the guy again, in the second she had the desire to change herself, and in this one he had the desire to have somewhere to hide and be safe. Maybe that's why they seem muddy and not strictly fitting to the fears we know.
Desire for the ones lost, Desire for knowledge (the explorer), desire to change, and the desire to be hidden. smirke MK2?
👀
🤯
And now . . .
Spoiler for episode 4
Desire to . . . I’m not sure exactly how to phrase it but desire to play music perfectly, not really a simply phrased desire, but a desire nonetheless
@Archiv1st exactly my thoughts! My theory is still kinda fitting so far! I'm so pumped to have more magnus content to theory craft about!
I nearly fell down my stairs scrambling to press play with out looking where I was going😂
As you should
martin-like behaviour
@@caramel9154 LMAO
The Freddy system is definitely an Extinction aspect
This gave me Over the Garden Wall flashbacks. Amazing episode!
I wonder if they've noticed how un-computerlike the voices sound once they really start reading the reports. It's very distinct how human the voices sound after it rattles off all the numbers and stuff and I imagine that just makes Colin more paranoid about them XD
Oof Corruption content always makes my skin crawl (pun intended)
Smooth
21:01 “better than being force-fed my own keyboard…”
It's so funny that Norris reads the first corruption one isn't that so funny guys that the guy voiced by the same guy who voiced Martin (lets be honest we are a hive mind and are all theorizing the same thing with Chester, Norris and he who must not be named) reads a corruption statement?
We're a hivemind you say? Oh no,
4:43 someone memorise these for us; they’ll probably be important
6:23 This too
On it
@@witchy_whysteriaI love this fandom

I love your username! Little Misfortune is the best 😊
@@marynraven tell me ab it
alice is giving spiral vibe with her cheerful but deceptively cruel jokes
Another ambiguous episode, the trend continues. I wonder if this universe had someone like smrik, who attempted to try and categorize the fears. If not, maybe that’s why the fears seem so mixed up. We knew the categories didnt actually matter, but maybe the act of categorizing them in TMA actually effected they way they worked? By assuming the fears worked one way, maybe that pushed them into “acting” like how people/avatars believed they would
It will be interesting to see how thing go moving forward
My own personal thing is that it's kind of the opposite of TMA, instead of avatars being avatars of the whole portion of the fears they are now avatars of the space in-between where they bleed together
Idk if that explains it well but yk
@@ThatOneArchivist That makes sense, it should be interesting to see how the plot progresses
@@ThatOneArchivistSince Gerry uses colors to help explain them. I vote we call these new avatars. "Rainbow avatars"
Oh thank goodness, a statement with a happy ending!
I love Colin!
Also, this file was so beautiful and creepy at the same time. I do love a good police evidence mystery
I love the deep seaish "there's something in the water under you and you can't swim away fast enough" part of the new theme!
22:23 uhohh i can practically feel the foreshadowing
No please not my Alice- she’s helping recover from the Tim’s incident
22:18 I thought since Teddy retired that they aren’t trapped but now I’m not sure-
Also- I really love Alice’s character! As she teases she’s still up to suspect Colin AND find a reasoning for the statement
TIDDY
@@imalittlelady His name is Teddy, not Tiddy 😅
But otherwise, interesting point. I feel like they put Teddy quitting in the first episode in order to show us that the characters aren’t mystically shackled to the OIAR; but maybe there are other things keeping people there, and Teddy was just lucky to break free. 🤔
@@TheNitpickChick (I edited it, thank u!) as for the rest; the possibilities u laid out r valid. Also, maybe he quit but is gonna face a horrible fate due to it- so they could quit but must endure the outcome

GUYSGUYSGUYS I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT
Spoilers for Magnus Archives
Sorry if I'm a bit slow, but I just realized what's probably going on here!
The woman from Episode 60, who tried to burn the Institute down! She SUCCEEDED!
Ooohh that's a really good idea!! I forgot all about her
Could be that, or it could be that the Magnus Institute refers to a different Magnus in this reality. It's located in Manchester, not London, in the Protocol reality.
Damn I had assumed this was a universe where Gertrude succeeded in destroying the institute, but I forgot that she did that long after '99
At this point I wonder if the entities have become blended together? Every episode seems to be a mix so far
22:21 Well her fate is sealed. RIP.
The buried?
@@poenpotzu2865 When I heard her joke about bones being a lie in the first episode, I was convinced that was foreshadowing that she would be taken by the Flesh later. Now... I'm not so sure. I think maybe the creators might be toying with us just a little lol. It's hard to say which of these will turn out to be foreshadowing and which will be red herrings... but that's not keeping me away from my red string conspiracy theories. 😆
Wow what a lovely gardening episode 😊
Can we appreciate the fact that more people than Jonny are writing episodes now? And they're damn good!!
Already attached to the characters, this can only end badly lol
man literally dying: i should write a paper on this lmao
i kept thinking about this!!
3 episodes in now and for the life of me I can't tell how I feel about Alice yet. A bit of a bitch, but the only one with any humor even if it is mean-spirited. I'll either love her character arc or hate it or it gets cut tragically short! Love this podcast
She’s awesome
@malaizze that's my hope! I get the vibe that despite being the office prankster that she'll be the one to really step up when shit inevitably hits the fan.
Maybe it's the autism but,,,
I haven't picked up on her being mean spirited? I'm not inclined to completely trust my judgement on that one though 😂
@drinkerofpaint For me, what I considered a bit mean was in the last episode, having Sam introduce himself to Colin by asking a question she knew would set Colin off on a rant. Then in this episode Alice brought up the idea of calling IT but Colin vehemently disagreed so Alice instead asks Sam to do it instead, knowing that it could lead to Colin getting pissed off and potentially at Sam, as he points out. Then also badgering Gwen to tell them her plans despite not wanting to and Alice chose to withhold information Gwen needed to know until Alice got her gossip.
Nothing about it is malevolent really, but dang I wouldn't be thrilled about having a coworker like Alice if she does that *all* the time. She's still really funny and lord knows I love people that answer cosmic horror with sass.
I really love how complex she is! Like she’s the only one with a sense of humour but also shows intelligence, doubt and seriousness. Almost like she knows something but still debating it and doesn’t wanna lose her happiness over a stupid job
3:12 I DID NOT EXPECT THAT!! I just brust out laughing, omg XD
alright, here're my theories so far, plus a handful of other ones I've heard that i liked:
*absolutely believe the text to speech is just john and martin, and that "augustus" is probably elias. personally im thinking the situation is more ghost-core than trapped-in-the-computer-core. also someone said .jmj could be john-martin-jonah which i think would be very unsubtle, but i dont know if .jmj errors are even a real thing
*maybe their arc will involve them being freed/freeing themselves and we can get some ghost john and martin content?
*i think gwen bouchard is elias' daughter from before his body was taken by jonah, and that shes not there for evil stuff. however, i do think shes there for suspicious stuff, and/or was drawn there (compelled perhaps). maybe she's looking for her long lost dad?
*a number of people think the fears feel blended together, more-so now than before, and i really like that, especially with the imagery we've been getting
*someone said the fears could be more primal and less defined than they were before, either because they failed, or for another reason ill get to shortly
*someone said colin might be a vegetarian because of flesh-related trauma and i just like that (sorry colin)
*i hadn't even considered this, but someone suggested this could be the alternate dimension that the fears ended up in, and that john, martin, and jonah were sucked through too. i think this is even more of a stretch and probably easy to disprove, but very fun to think about
*the same person suggested that this could be why the fears seem primal and undefined, because they're like infants in a new universe
anyway, thats all i have for the moment. feel free to leave your thoughts and opinions!
It was quite interesting how the viewpoint shifted to a fear-monster. And then it seemed almost to take on tones of Fear itself reveling in finally being incarnated and free. Which makes it so interesting that it was far more concerned with enjoying the sunlight while not even understanding why the victim was scared ... almost to the point of understanding the victim's fear as a bad thing
Mild spoiler for this episode, major spoiler for the end of The Magnus Archives, and some theorizing for the rest of this series:
1:40 - Did anyone else automatically think of "Jonathan, Martin, Jonah" at the reference to a .JMJ error? I know Jonah should be dead, but I'm having a hard time thinking of a different "J" person. Of course, this is presumably an alternate reality, so maybe this is an alternate version of him? I'm assuming that maybe John and Martin are the ones from the original magnus archives reality and that they were fused with Freddie when they entered this reality. I could be making wildly incorrect guesses, though.
It seems that the third voice, “Augustus,” is Jonah. Since he was at the top of the Panopticon Tower when the rift opened he probably got pulled through too despite being dead.
@@malaizze that.. makes a lot of sense.
Im so autistic about this! YES! ❤
Definitely corruption.
Is this Jared Hopworths garden??😊
I feel like I'm noticing a pattern I'd love for other imput on. Each episode so far has had my friend and I suggest different entities that are at play and I'm not sure that's an accident. While the majority of the episode was clearly infestation, there was an incredibly strong lonely twist to each part of it. Almost like a subcategory (note how the computer system has a main and sub classification). I feel like that's an intentional pattern. Thoughts?
Also to note there are other strong entity suggestions in other comments which I feel only further cements my theory. Of course it could be a red herring but still, I'd love for some discussion
I mean, most Corruption victams/avatars were lonely (and toxic, as they called Jane) to begin with. After all, why would you want to be consumed by mold or bugs if you're not absolutely *desperate* for companionship?
I know the guy didn't necessarily want the planes, he wanted Maddie. But still, y'know? The Corruption needs loneliness in order to be more effective, maybe? Idk, guess we'll only know by seeing more.
I think that the fears are much more intertwined in this universe and they'll need a whole new classification system for them! I'm writing down all the fears I'm suspecting in each statement and it's usually not just one so they must be less defined here for sure
@gabrielluz5110 see that's a very good observation and I definitely would agree if not for the previous episodes. The last episode had very strong feeling of the spiral (the mental issues and body hate on an artist) and the flesh (the rest of the story). The first one had some end/lonely/buried vibes (the zombie one) and the eye story had a setting normally in a buried story. But that's more just some theorizing
@wywrd_mtnt ooo I like that. Personally I have noticed that it feels like one fear is kinda acting like a delivery method to another (not as prevalent in this one as the last but I noticed in ep 2 that it felt like a prime spiral set up with a mentally unstable artist but halfway through it was like the spiral directly led to the flesh). That's where I am seeing the connection to the category-subcategory system.
oh this one made my skin crawl, this is amazing
MAGNUS PROTOCOL BABYYYYY
Yup, still hate the Corruption. *Shudders*
But doesn't it call the bugs parasites idk it just feels off like it's the corruption but different somehow
@@lucassevey5989The Corruption isn't just a bug thing. Polyps fall under the umbrella of disease and the way he initially described the growth of them is reminiscent of mold or fungal spores spreading their roots. Of course, new world, new evils, so we're not necessarily categorizing solely by The 14/15 anymore, but I wouldn't know what else to categorize this by. They have felt a bit more like apocalypse statements that have less discreet categories though. 🤔
Just to clarify if I understood correctly: the doctor murdered his ex-partner and then her new lover, correct? Did I get this right? Or did she die naturally and then he murdered her new boyfriend anyway? He went to a grief counsellor as well. I am a little confused but I love how peaceful and "pleasant" this episode was. If anything it reminds me of Nurgle from 40K.
It's honestly not clear what happened, probably intentional since unlike the Archives crew, the OIAR don't bother digging any further than necessary. From what it sounds like, Maddie was killed by her husband because she had a lover, but his crime wasn't discovered until later.
@@Speckaboo Got it, thanks, now I see it too!
spoiler spacing
it scares me a little that jmj might be trying to crash freddie. to me it kinda implies that. . . well, they'd rather be dead than be reading out the incidents -.-;;
like . . what of some sliver of humanity is trapped in the computer, forced to empathize with these victims* (in order to emphasize their emotions), and it's horrifying, and crashing forever seems like the better option
*is victims the right word? artist lady still doesn't seem to regret things, despite how much pain she went through. she just regrets that she wasn't able to do it / properly / , without complications of spreading tattoo and interfering roommate
Honestly if my life was just reading horror stories I wouldn’t complain much
You know this might be horrifying, but it grows on you after a while
I love this episode! I always liked the idea of being a tree, then add body horror to that? Chef kiss
oh hurrah, fungus body horror. my favorite.
This series is popping off!!
2:20 That "of course not" is giving horrible Nikola Orsinov vibes and I'm here for it
aw sweet, disgusting Midsommar-esque tree infections
I’d say beyond my comprehension but somehow the way it was written gave me a disturbingly vivid idea of how to comprehend it
Colin seems to be spiraling pretty bad…
TMA's intro was sort of spooky and had a sense of weird sadness to it, but TMP's intro is like it's gonna castrate you, drain your blood and then feed it to the entities
“at least I’m not the one on all fours” OK DAM GIRL NO SHAMING HERE!!
If someone said that to me as I was fixing something for them crouching under their dumb desk, somebody WOULD have died down there for sure!
Fun thing I noticed, these reports seem to follow the Stith Thompson Index of Folklore Classification with their numerical values, I don't know if this has any further application but it could be important
Wow, this is so cool! Thanks for sharing. Also might be a hint that there are no any new fears, after all. As long as humans are the same, their fears work the same
Everytime this uploads I screech
Bro went from “NOOO I DON’T WANNA BECOME A TREE” to “being a tree is fine actually, i don’t care anymore” in the span of a few paragraphs.
Edit: My thoughts on what could explain his sudden change in psyche: the roots managed to reach his brain, nullifying his thoughts of anxiety to replace them with bliss. We saw that the infection was beginning to affect his sense of taste, so it was definitely close to reaching that particular area. Alternatively the roots could've taken over his nervous system and replaced his pain with pleasure, seeing as he begins to change mentally once he reports the sudden lack of pain in his body.
Not me vagueing out for a second only to come back and hearing the words "take out my philangies and sticking them into the ground"
