#also ik its not the most farfetched theory but i have EVIDENCE

[gammija]

ive been meaning to make this post for a few weeks, and now that Lena's "I am not a wealthy woman, certainly not compared to your own family," to Gwen seems to have put a spotlight on it, here's my lil suggestion;

Elias Bouchard is a ministerial employee/politician, and the OIAR falls under his responsibilities.

Gwen's Bouchard surname already heavily suggests that she comes from a wealthy family, like Elias did in tma. Alice's "Let me guess, fancy gowns, champagne, bathing in the blood of the poor, that sort of thing," comment in ep3 makes that not just independently wealthy, but high class as well.

Then with Alice accusing Gwen of (benefitting from) nepotism in the first episode, it makes sense that someone in her family has a powerful position somewhere in the OIAR hierarchy.

All those are easy to notice, but one thing I haven't seen many posts about - in that same episode, Collin and Alice have this conversation:

ALICE: [...] Is it an app yet? Do we have a minimalist logo? I assume you’ve finished all the social features?

COLIN: Don't you start. I swear I'm going to shove a cable down that prick's throat, pull it out his ministerial anus and floss him to death.

and later, with Teddy-

TEDDY: Colin, mate, you know you’re never getting out of here.

COLIN: Christ, don’t say that.

TEDDY: Even if his nibs lets you off the hook, which he won’t, you couldn’t bring yourself to just leave.

Based on that, we can conclude that somewhere up the OIARs hierarchy, there's some managerial asshole who insists on keeping Colin around (for the app?).

So, combined with what we know from OG Elias in tma, and Gwens nepotism comments, until proven otherwise, that asshole is Elias to me <3

#technically it could be anyone. and the nepotism comment could be about a lot of people #BUT. thisd be a lot of fun #visit from daddy just to check in on how the apps coming along #OR he actually does know more than lets on #either way #the magnus protocol #tmagp theory #tmagp spoilers #tmagp s1 #gwendolyn bouchard #elias bouchard #gwendolyn #elias #magnus protocol #magnuspod #magp07 #magp007 #tmagp - give and take #joos yaps #also ik its not the most farfetched theory but i have EVIDENCE #and not just 'hey thisd be neat' #granted its nowhere near airtight so there's still a high amount of 'wouldnt this be neat' doing some of the lifting #but still
