I don't know this emotion

For all non-uk magnus protocol listeners I need you to know that Mr Bonzo is a 100% real thing (asides from the murder stuff... I think...) which existed as a skit on UK television. he was called Mr Blobby but it was literally the exact same thing. from the weird voice to the freaky character to design to the failed theme parks (blobbyland was a thing) even to the number 1 hit. PLEASE look if you haven't seen this before

His teeth are not soft 😀

the fact that both of these designs are official is horrifying

doing important research on this fine sunday morning

Ominous.

DON'T PUT THAT SHIT IN MY HEAD

FUCK

FOUR MONTHS OF TERROR

Now for the question of who is our good old friend Mr Bonzo gonna go after. It sure would be a shame if it was our favourite grandson and grandma power duo

SHOP UPATE! Big giant mega update since the shop is reopened! Many new things, restocks, and returning pieces :)

Participation counts for half

Can we count this one as Gwen's first murder though?

One titty out, shaking fist at god. Miss the old days

DPHW reminds me of the Aarne Thompson index for fairy tales. I wonder if they're categorizing the type of tale, more than scoring it on qualities?

Evil wish fulfillment, a la monkey's paw

Honestly “Desires” might not entirely be it. I think it may be sort of a “Careful what you wish for”

“I just wanted to make people laugh” okay well nightmare clown

“I wanted to play the role of the mysterious stranger” okay. Truck crash

“I wanted to prove my thesis.” How about such an intimate experience with it that you will never be the same

It’s like these people are experiencing the consequences of obsession in real time dialed up to 11

The transcript makes it seem a lot less like [ERROR] was hiding and lot more like it GOT OUT

so that's something to chew on for four weeks

So apparently the "real work" is outsourcing hits to Mr. Bonzo. MR FUCKING BONZO

Relisten:

Wonder why the computer served Celia a Mr Bonzo case, just as Gwen's sent to give Bonzo a hit.

It seems so far like the computer's working against Lena, since it also showed that video to Gwen, but it could be luring Gwen and Celia in. It's definitely luring Sam to the Magnus Institute, but if there's opposing forces in the computers ... We can't really assume the voices are who we think. So we don't know much, if anything, about what they want.

Between the computers and Lena, I don't know who's closer to good, but both are sus.

Also, Colin refuses the coffee when Celia offers. I don't think he's really cutting back on caffeine.

Really looking forward to meeting the Archivist who lives in the tunnels. Can anyone catch anything in the whispers around them?

[id: ALICE: This is not something you go poking around in. Not if you want to keep your job… or your neck. SAM: (a little amused) Okay, okay! I get it. Consider me scared straight. "Consider me scared straight" is highlighted. end id]

[id: LENA: Now, while I understand your concerns, you need to understand that Colin has held the IT Manager position for some time without incident, and although he is somewhat… frustrated with his current assignment, he can request help from the central IT team at any time. I am certain that should he find his responsibilities unmanageable, he will request assistance. Or resign, of course. Either way, the problem will resolve itself. "Or resign, of course" is highlighted. end id]

[id: CELIA: Is there any way to look up specific files? ALICE: Like what? CELIA: Oh, I don’t know. Every case about… being buried alive, or meat, or… whatever. ALICE: Well, there’s a search bar, but it doesn’t actually do anything. You’d have to dig through them all manually. (suspicious) – Why do you ask? CELIA: Just figuring it all out. Ah well, I guess I’ll need to find Bigfoot on my own time. "Just figuring it all out" is highlighted. end id]

[id: GERTRUDE: I see. Well, I’m sorry, but I don’t think Gerry can help you – GERRY: (casually) Yeah, I barely remember any of it. "I don’t think Gerry can help you" is highlighted. end id]

[id: GERRY: Oh yeah, but I was pretty young. I remember filling in a bunch of forms and questionnaires, then some old men asking me questions about what books I liked to read, who did I look up to, that kind of thing. And then I left. SAM: (disappointed) That’s all? GERRY: Yeah, afraid so. Other than just sitting around with a bunch of other kids in a room that smelled like old books. "Yeah, afraid so" is highlighted. end id]

[id: CELIA: I’m trying to look into… Weird physics stuff: time travel, other dimensions, teleportation, all that good stuff. Freddy doesn’t really do searches, so you could keep an eye out and let me know if any come up in your cases? SAM: Uh, sounds a bit sci-fi compared to our usuals. What’s this for? (amused breath) You’re not doing research for that podcast you were on, are you? CELIA: (surprised) You know about that? SAM: I might have given you a quick Google. CELIA: Then… yeah. I’m doing a favor for Georgie. "yeah. I’m doing a favor for Georgie" is highlighted. end id]

Nigel Dickerson's SOS?? Comedy dungeon??? MR SIX??? Staticky voice with an ominous rumbling.

"No guests were hurt" and "you've got buried"?? Berried, I think. Ominous.

Mr Bonzo - no one remembers who came up with the name. No one had seen the suit move... Someone's arm was broken while wearing the suit...the audience loved it. "It became a ritual", there were injuries...

The kids actually did like Mr Bonzo

"We all know what happened" with the music

A serial killer was caught dressed as Bonzo - with the colors backward. 11 bodies, same number of weeks "Mr Bonzo's on his way" was top song.

SOS got cancelled

Edgy fans, Bonzo meme, merchandise still on sale

People think of Nigel Dickerson and Mr Bonzo is never far behind

He's a prisoner of Bonzo???

The serial killer is still going, and Bonzo costumes were found at the scenes.

Celia and Colin

Colin wants to talk to Alice, therapy didn't work. He's back to figure it out. The other's absence will make things earlier and he doesn't want them to know he's been here (including Lena).

SAM IN THE MAGNUS INSTITUTE WITH ALICE IN THE RAIN

Digging through mulch and Sam finds a key

Alice is desperate to leave, and she seems to have no connection to this place, so I'm convinced she doesn't remember the Institute if she was indeed in the program there.

Gwen is trying to deliver an envelope to Dickerson, but he says "It's not for me"

FUCK IT'S MR BONZO

TRY NOT TO STARE. IT DOESN'T LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE STARE.

"It looks like they got another one for you" so the OIAR is getting Bonzo to assassinate people?

"Now, get out of his house." Gwen lives.

I HEAR A TAPE RECORDER BUTTON. SAM AND ALICE ARE ON TAPE. They're getting closer...

They're in someone's office... who's Archie? Archive?

Ominous chair. Pattern of worm tracks on floor?

Sam dropped the key, there's a pit in the office.

Sam has memories of stuff happening here and wonders why they didn't choose him. He wants to find "where everything started to go wrong."

Something scuttling in the background. A spider? It stinks in here.

Sam and Alice leave for the pub. A huge door slams. Another door creaks open and closed. Footsteps... breathing... whispering of many voices.

AGHHHH HOW DO I SURVIVE FOUR WEEKS

I think that the kids were becoming the archivist, perhaps, and someone is still living in the institute.

No idea who Mr Bonzo was sent after.

i've seen the sentiment before that chester's first incident reading was very much a "DON'T GO TO THE FUCKING MAGNUS INSTITUTE" message. but now with this one... i think it's highly likely that chester is actively encouraging sam to get more entrenched in this mystery.

this week's incident was pulled up in direct response to sam considering dropping his investigations while talking to celia. a convenient "but wait, there's more! i promise there's not just dead ends!" to keep sam hooked, to draw him (and alice in tow) back to the institute.

which, of course, brings up the question once again of what the fuck chester (and norris and augustus) is (and what its relations to our favorite archivist are) which is not a question we can answer yet but oh i am so excited to find out. at least, i think the idea that chester is directly jon, or.. i dunno, his ghost or whatever, is not supported by this.

this new incident also imo reframes the potential “intent” behind the redcanary incident. from a warning of stay away to a warning of this is dangerous, but there’s so much more to be investigated here. imo.. a be ready for it. i think whatever chester is it wants sam to investigate the institute, but not die in doing so.

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

After the Georgie name drop I’m wondering if Celia is the only one in this universe who’s got some kind of in between realities knowledge or if there are a bunch of them running amok

This version of the story is in the Volsungsaga (or Saga of the Volsungs) and you should read it.

It's got everything: women bitterly exacting revenge for unwanted marriages, a warrior who knows the future and that he's powerless to prevent it, and a god who rears up one bloodline only to cut it off when it's outlived its use.

Also several women burn their husbands' houses down. Of course.
