💪😴🫸
I was running with my arms up a hill in my old neighborhood. I didn’t have legs, or they were small and tucked under, and my face was in my torso. Some guy grabbed me, I shouted “DON’T TOUCH ME,” and ran away on my arms, as per usual.
Reblog for a bigger sample size please!!
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.
WAS RELISTENING TO TMA
OH MY GOD
is the event where the statements were leaked in 1999 in the tma universe the same event where the institute burned down in 1999 in the tmagp universe???
(from MAG-068)
as much as elias coming back as a weird stoner uncle is a funny idea, let’s not forget elias took over the institute in 1996. if tmagp is following the same timeline as tma up until that point, that would mean jonah would have already taken control of elias’ body before the institute burned down in 1999. there were also no survivors, so it’s very possible this universe’s elias/jonah died at that point

- 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
It fully looks like Hermes got yeeted across the sky

When you say "Pompeian Bath" this is not my first thought
-A Pompeian Bath-
There's so many double meanings in TMAGP episode titles so far. On that note,
Protocol, in computer science, a set of rules or procedures for transmitting data between electronic devices, such as computers.
https://www.britannica.com/technology/protocol-computer-science
I would bet anything that the OIAR's computers have magnetic tape data storage, and that at the same time FR3D-1 began reading out cases, that storage was overwritten by the Magnus Archives tapes.
Straight up I'd kill and die for archivist alice
Like, at first all her spooky shit is a joke
Then life imitates art and she can actually destroy you
there's something inside you it's hard to explain
Camden Market but it's I Spy with eyeballs
And while we're on the subject, what fucked up thing do you guys think was on that painting Gerry gave Celia?
when I say I screamed
Tim, Publisher of the DPHW
*slides RQ a tenner* now do tim
I want to believe Gerry is happy and remains so. However,
JONNY
GODDAMN
SIMS
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…
RESPITE REVOKED, GERARD KEAY
I am so scared for my little guy
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!
im gonna cry. tma gerry was in a book. tmagp jon is in a computer. when will they meet properly face to face.
So much here
I imagine those article pics in the voice of 70s Geraldo Rivera
I bet Ms. Anita here eats lesbians for breakfast...haw, haw
Why are they suggesting a gay orange juice spokesperson if they think the majority of oj drinkers are 1) heterosexual and 2) homophobic? Seems like a non sequitur but obviously I've not read the full thing.
This woman also said “homosexuals cannot reproduce, so they must recruit. And to freshen their ranks, they must recruit the youth of America.” But here she is "freshening" her own ranks of the orange juice cult! Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
She also did interviews with Playboy to promote her Christian campaign against homosexuals. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Also her book, The Anita Bryant Story: The Survival of Our Nation’s Families and the Threat of Militant Homosexuality.
This is a pretty good article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna24215
But really all that matters is that she lost her orange juice pusher job in the end. Time for a nice tall glass of refreshing revenge!
he paints in both universes,,,,I am going to explode
okayyy so last week I figured the "random name" and "address" was referring to the email address itself, but now with episode 8, do you think "john" sent sam to gerry?
I like to imagine TMAGP'S Gerry is just as goth, but covered in paint (and hair dye)

TMAGP 8 NOTES
SPOILERS BELOW
SERIOUSLY THESE ARE HOT FRESH SPOILERS
Statement:
Felt like a classic MAG episode. Reminiscent of the lonely, but felt more like a hunger for company that was reflected and warped.
Also, liminal spaces. Lots of em.
The thin people are reminiscent of MAG 156 Reflection.
Characters!
ALSO WHAT THE FUCK "GIGI???"
GIGI AND GERRY
Bruh
I'm delighted
I'm horrified
I'm so scared
"my grandson?"
Looks like he dodged the brain cancer bullet this time. Gigi dodged the... literal bullet.
Maybe Gertrude gets a cackle this time?
Also, if Gerry doesn't remember anything, maybe they brain wiped him and that's why he's like that. Or, the change of personality is irrelevant.
Sam
Investigating the Magnus Institute still, and confirming that he participated in their "gifted kids programs."
Celia
Celia??? Weird physics???? Time travel?? Oh my holy fuck
Georgie's podcast too. Could it be crossing the gap btwn worlds?
Alice & Gwen
Obvious tension on the job change. Alice seems like she wants to leave, but also like she's morose over Sam leaving with Celia. I really feel like she's hyper jealous, hope she doesn't get chopped up or something for leaving. Bc who's heard from Teddy?
Note: Colin's on mental health leave. Doesn't sound like he hurt Sam? Just the phone.
This has become... relevant.
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!
