Ce N’Est Pas Une Pipe

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

This wave is so girl

Feminine Wave, 1845 by Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, 1760--1849)

TMAGP's liminal spaces so far (EP 7 spoilers):

1. The Graveyard, the Magnus Institute

2. In5oul's studio

3. The Garden

4. N/A? Perhaps where the protagonist met the merchant

5. The Theater

6. N/A? Does an alley count? Does a call station count?

7. Hill Top

I'm calling them liminal bc they're described only at certain times of day (middle of the night for the graveyard) or in terms that make their entrances and exits, as well as the passage of time within them, unclear (like the tattoo studio and the garden). The theater preserved from childhood memories, yet staffed with only one employee, the Magnus Institute where doors are all open while it lies abandoned, etc., feel solidly liminal to me.

Hill Top is mainly there because of, y'know, but I do think the events of 7 make it a space with unclear limits and volume. It would be ironic if it has nothing to do with Hill Top Road.

I feel like the OIAR office is liminal (between sunset and sunrise, for one thing). The sheer vibes off that place!

Thought that eagle was corn

Dauphine de Jerphanion by Thierry Mugler 1986

TMAGP 9 SPOILERS

I have a bad feeling Freddy is using the voices of Jon, Martin, and whoever else to goad Sam into returning to the Magnus Institute. And that Jon & Martin are, in fact, completely dead.

THE ONLY THING THAT CAN MAKE IT RIGHT

Dean really got impaled by the world’s largest nail, fucking size queen

His hair is now...well dyed 😱

Sam and Celia didn’t mention Gerry’s hair. THEY DIDNT MENTION HIM HAVING BADLY DYED HAIR.

Every time he was mentioned in TMA, his bad hair comes up. Does he not have black hair now? Is he even goth??

I bet he doesn’t even have the eye tattoos if his life here is completely different…

FUCK YES DANCE WITH THE WORMS

Dancing with the worms—a compilation of our favorite Alciopid worm dance moves.

Alciopid polychaetes have large, complex eyes with corneas, irises, lenses, and other structures that give them excellent vision. These wondrous worms are related to the earthworms we find in our backyards, and in many respects, they are fairly similar—both have a segmented body and bristles on each segment. ⁠The midwater version, however, is completely transparent. 👀

I don't know about that
