i'm abt halfway through season 1 of tma (i think?) and i just wanted to say it's so fucking funny how jon puts his whole archivussy into voice-acting every story, then after 20 minutes of stellar in-character acting he just goes "well that was fucking stupid innit, seek psychiatric help lmfaoo" and ends the episode
“Hey you should tell me all your secrets so it's not awkward later” is the most autistic way to start a first date ever you cannot change my mind. Sam ily so much
i cant believe jonelias used to be so controversial. like jons literally 28 why does it matter if elias is 200+ years old and manipulated him into trying to kill himself and everyone else on the planet....... let him make his own mistakes 🙄🙄
ok but Alice "sober up & stop trying to make an impact" Dyer would get along well with Cecil "if you see something say nothing & drink to forget" Gershwin Palmer
like idk theres something rly sad to me about "i could make this" as a derogatory statement abt art. like, that's really the state of it, huh, where the average person imagines themselves so disconnected from art and creation that a comparison between an artist and them automatically brings the artist down. people can make art. you can make art.
thinking more about the idea that the TMA fear entities exist in a weakened state in the TMAGP universe. in TMA, fear entities (especially the Eye) had the power to draw people into analyzing and philosophizing about exactly what made the entity effective - the meatpacker talking about the thoughts and feelings of the animals he killed, the programmer talking about the nature of consciousness and death, the mortician talking about the idea of decay and rot and how it affects her - with many characters having a "...sorry, I'm rambling" moment where they snap out of a fear-induced monologue.
needles, on the other hand, has to explicitly spell out the aspects of him that are supposed to be scary, and even then, it doesn't get much of a reaction. he has to maim a man nearly to death to get a fear meal out of him. this man is not being boosted by a powerful patron the way TMA avatars were. he's a scavenger on the outskirts of something that hasn't been revealed yet.
