"blurb"
a real and normal word
oh yeah, it's allllllll coming together now......
Ohhhhh good take. I have this sinking feeling that Alice is the meta canary overall, and when she stops fucking around the plot will go full dark mode. Or she'll go batshit for real.
I'm a bit late but I love how Alice was Sam's canary in the latest episode. She acted as a constant reminder of the danger present and reigned him in when things were getting too dangerous. But she also didn't fully squash his hopes.
I wonder if/when she's gonna completely stop singing. (Or Sam stops listening)
Ominous.
I want to believe Gerry is happy and remains so. However,

GODDAMN

Excuse you. I do not have a home, I have a nest. I built it out of trash and magpie treasures so don't you dare disrespect my hovel you absolute CRETIN
Such a cool piece of ephemera! Not to piss on the parade or anything, but does that horse body have a man cock? On its chest?

Wilding out Celia theory:
- There's two Celias
- One from this universe, one from TMA
- They share a body
- When Celia wakes up after sleepwalking, that's the Celia of TMAGP
- When Celia's at the OIAR, that's the Celia of TMA
- one of them"s a baddie
*tinfoil noises*
- TMA Celia has become an avatar of the stranger
Riley running from his bad choices to go play hero, then blaming it on Buffy and using it as an ultimatum to punish her for her lack of emotional vulnerability, is just such a wild fucking twist. That's leaving out the gory vamp bordello and the mom cancer details.
And then the narrative is like "they're willing victims. They don't deserve Buffy's help. Buffy the vampire slayer wants to slay those vampires for selfish reasons!"
And then the torturing? With a plastic stake? Bruh
Masterpiece of character assassination. At this point, after so many rewatches, I can only pity Riley for being the narrative's dumb tool.
"Hey I just cheated on you. Decide you still want me or I disappear."
The Magnus Archives is wild because it'll make you glad a character's dead. Yes! Finally they can be tortured no longer! Freedom from this fearful world!
