Magnus Protocol Theory —

(Spoilers up to ep. 5)

I think I've figured out the catch of OIAR staff being able to "quit at any time"

It's not immediately obvious why they can't quit the same way it was in TMA because, well, Teddy quits in the first episode! And he seems quite content with fucking off from the OIAR and never coming back, but he has this exchange with Collin:

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. Not 'til you’ve figured out all these fun little errors. COLIN Or they finally kill me. TEDDY I mean, sure, that too.

What do they know that we don't?

Bear with me on this one, but I suspect it has to do with how the Fears function in this world. I've been seeing quite a few theories floating around saying that the Fears in this world are more likely tied to Desire and I think they're right.

Every story so far has been driven by some kind of want or yearn or need—the yearn to hear a dead lover's voice, the need to understand why a place is marked "cleared," the desire to look different, the need to hide from the repercussion of your actions, the hunger for recognition as the best, the itch to feel real fear. Every time, the supernatural experiences commence after a desire(or obsession) is expressed, and every desire is granted in the most fucked up Monkey's Paw way possible.

How does this apply to our merry band of fucked up civil servants? Why are they still here?

Well, Collin's not gonna quit until he makes sense of the computers, and we're already seeing the negative effects this obsession has on him. Gwen wants Lena's job and to be the best of the department (and possible something else that we're not privy to yet). Sam wants answers to whatever the fuck is wrong with the OIAR/their cases and likely has some personal obsessions involved (*cough cough*the Magnus Protocol*cough cough*)

Alice is a bit of an outlier since she doesn't have any obvious "wants" that we've seen, but she seems way more conscious of what this job does to people than the others. From telling Sam to report Collin's behavior to telling Same this:

ALICE I wasn’t messing with you earlier, you do need to compartmentalize for this job. Make a box in your head and at the end of the shift you dump everything in there and hit the incinerate button okay? You do not want to be thinking about this stuff outside of here. It’s not good for you. I’ve seen people go weird before now.

Alice seems to at least somewhat understand what's going on—she's seen people go "weird" and knows that getting obsessed is dangerous, which is why she herself tries to stay as separate from the work as possible, tells Sam to do the same, and why I suspect she tries to have Collin reported(to keep him from sinking any deeper). But I suspect Alice is ensnared in her own way, possibly by the brother she keeps fielding calls from at work.

It's not a whole lot to go off of yet, but she keeps referencing her next paycheck while talking to him and overall implies than her brother musical career is unsuccessful but that it might turn around soon. Maybe she stays working there because she wants to support herself and support her brother's career?

Tl;dr the fears in his world are based in desires and obsession. Technically, anyone can quit the OIAR and they do—so long as they don't get obsessed. And if they do get obsessed, they won't stop until they either get what they want or, as Collin said, they die.

#the magnus protocol spoilers #tmagp #tmagp theory #okay maybe this theory was obvious to everyone else but it didnt fully click in my head until this last episode #when Sam goes to report Collin and Lena tell him that Collin will either ask for help or eventually quit #and that the problem will be resolved either way #and idk why her saying that made something click in my brain bc well #he WONT do either. we know this #so what then? whats the third option? why wont he give up and leave? why wont any of them give up and leave??? #bc they cant. they can't because none of them have what they want yet! #I'm losing my mind a bit lmao #the magnus protocol #juno expounds

The eye in TMA has no power over me, ill tell anybody anything. Some random guys asks me deep personal questions about a traumatic event?? Yeah sure. Getting me to shut the fuck up is the real special ability.

#tma #tma podcast #jonathan sims #tma eye #the eye #the eye will fucking overdose on the random info. i literally wont shut up about anything ever. #also if if youre too quiet i will just start saying stuff. like. unprompted. #i could probably since the vibe on jon from 1000000 miles away and would immediately make my life story his problem #he wouldnt even want to hear me tell stories about my life but im telling him and following him around for the rest of the day telling him #anything that has every happened to me

The only scene any of the cast and crew talk about with regards to Marcus is the karaoke scene. It’s literally the only scene where he’s somewhat likeable but it doesn’t hold up on rewatch because we see how manipulative he ends up being. It’s kind of interesting how they all seemed to think the fandom would have drastically different opinions on Marcus when in reality most fans hate his guts, but not for the reasons I think they expected.

We don’t dislike Marcus because he came between wilmon (let’s be real, he really didn’t); we dislike him because he’s a jerk who doesn’t respect Simon’s needs or boundaries. He also comes off more smug than charming; not sure if that’s because of the writing or Tommy’s acting.

I think ultimately the storyline worked in that it showed no matter how technically “easy” a relationship with a regular person would be for Simon, it doesn’t mean it’s the right relationship for him (which Edvin echoed in his comment about how “this isn’t gonna work”), and just because Marcus is less complicated, it doesn’t mean Simon will feel the same to him, nor that he’s a better match for him than Wille is, and I think the show does a really good job at showing why Wille is better for him ultimately (through Wille’s character growth and how he starts listening to Simon and respecting him more and more as the season progresses), but I do think it’s interesting that despite this, it seems we were still supposed to like him. I think we just don’t know enough about him outside of his relationship with Simon to have empathy for him.

#young royals #wilmon #i genuinely cannot stand marcus lol #i also think tommy's acting was the main problem tbh #not a fan of his performance #BUT #i think the storyline did work #and it was important for simon to experience a relationship with someone who wasnt wille #it couldve been anyone #point is hes in love with wille and that wont change #so the route they took is interesting #i also have a lot to say about his comments about simon's dad #theres so much to unpack

everybody who talks about sex as something everybody (and they almost always mean men) is entitled to, can be discriminated FROM or can achieve social justice through others giving it to them, should kill themselves 🩷 women arent a resource or consolation prize that society owes you

#just saw a video of a male influencer saying asian girls are like republicans cuz they say its fucked up he doesn't get laid bcuz hes asian #(doubtful thats the reason tbh) but afterwards 'they don't wanna do anything about it but send prayers'🤢 rapey as hell #the commenters were full on sob stories about how sad it is #that women wont have sex with them. how it's hurt their self esteem and whatever which... sure #but painting women as villains for having bodily autonomy and not having sex with somebody. as if thats the pinnacle of racism #and honestly if not getting laid was the pinnacle of racist social desirability standards instead of actual discrimination #then it wouldn't be a problem at all. youd just be ugly. #and the anger towards girls who date either only within or outside their ethnicity is always rooted in sexist entitlement. men need to be #weeded out fr <3 their self centered sexism will never be separated from their overall ideologies #unless they face real life consequences

feeling solidarity these holidays with everyone not allowed to talk about their partner with the family

#for some reason i too am not allowed to bring him up when my dad is present because he gets really uncomfortable about it #and my mom has to come tell me off about it in private bc he wont say the problem directly to me #thunderclap #i understand the problem but what the hell man im almost 27 years old #its extra annoying cause ive been to his house a lot already and i know his parents and have a good relationship with them #but my parents absolutely REFUSE to let him come here because again itd make my dad uncomfortable to have us (checks notes) #living in the same space?? #my GRANDPARENTS have seen my partner more than my parents have #i just think its annoying as hellll holy shit all i did was bring up miguel sleeptalking and say hes woken me up once or twice saying stuff #and my mom told me off on it after like 'dont bring up you being in bed with your guy in front of your dad' HUH!!!!!!!!!!!!! #HUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO INFER THAT AS THE MEANING TO WHAT I SAID... I WAS JUST TELLING A FUNNY ANECDOTE #THAT HAD 100% TO DO WITH THE CONVO WE WERE HAVING (SLEEPWALKING) #ARRGHGGHGHGHGH THIS IS JUST LIKE COSMIC ONLINE REACHING BUT IRL

Hot bartender and two of his coworkers. (I drew the blonde before once but I keep thinking about glasses guy as just trying to be supportive but he's just too patient for his own good and therefore is the subject of hot bartender's sob stories of how he messed up his shot with the cute customer again.)

And as someone pointed out that it was impressive none of the hot bartender's coworkers had a problem with him having such a pathetic crush, they just appreciate that he works hard. Like even before his crush he'd be most likely to fill in for a sick coworker or stay later than necessary if one had to leave mid shift. He's very good at his job! Just. Not when he can watch the cute blonde guy and gets hit with inferiority because obviously he, a mere bartender, would stand zero chances at wooing a guy always surrounded by friends.

#my characters #me just assigning a group dad to one adult man and saying yeah that is the glasses guys role #because at work before i as an adult had a work mom who was a mom and she wouldnt dote on everyone #but she was very much a responsible mom TO ME and i appreciate her a lot #hot bartender be like wow i can smooth talk lots of drunk patrons YET THE BLONDE IS ELUSIVE AND WONT TALK TO ME #its because he doesnt think of me as more than an alcohol source #while in fact paul is like TO HIM I AM NOTHING MORE THAN A PATRON AND HE HAS BETTER THINGS TO DO IN HIS TIME THAN TALK TO ME #both paul and the hot bartender are pathetic and in love and its everyone else's problem

I had an Isaac run where it was so stressful my heartrate was at a 145bpm and it persisted for 6 hours. After that, like every day that followed, my heart would just suddenly shoot up to 120-140bpm for an hour if I so much as thought about something I've been stressing over recently. Everybody encouraging me to go to the ER. And I'm just like "Oh please I've actually always been like this, I'm fine." Had to chop down my Adderall dosage. But I swear I've felt like this since high school, but I guess the medicine enhances the feeling and that feeling was ANXIETY.

So, suffice to say, playing The Binding of Isaac™️ almost gave me a heart attack.

#and its not the adderall thats just inducing the heartrate #cause i only got prescribed adderall this year #dad got diagnosed with afib when i was still in school. he rushed himself to the hospital with mom while i was taking a test #i was like what the heck where did you guys go and mom said oh dad was having a heart attack or something and we didnt want to bother you #like WOULDNT YOU TELL YOUR CHILD OH MAYBE YOU WONT SEE YOUR FATHER AFTER WE GO TO THE HOSPITAL BUT FINISH YOUR EXAM BABY #that was like 2020 and we have a couple of those oxygen readers for your fingers and it measures your heartbeat #i out one on for fun im just sitting there at the dinner table and my heartrate was at 120 #like i didnt do anything we been stuck at home because pandemic and we just having a nice dinner #and my heartbeat was just thats my resting heartrate. they told me to try the blood pressure thing #average blood pressure but truly my heartbeat was just vibing at 120. mis padres were like oh no maybe you have afib too #babes youre too young to have that. and i jsut said oh is that what it means when im nauseous and have to lie down #i havent been diagnosed with anything. i suspect is tachycardia but no official thing #although i havent seen a cardiologist. what if we pay to get a screening and its nothing #i dont want to go thru all that and let it be nothing. lets wait until its a real problem #when my brother and his family visited just like what two weeks ago he was like #he was sitting on moms exercise bike and said it reads your heartrate #and it did you put your hands on the handle and it reads yer pulse #i told him like oooh let me try. hey brother my resting heartrate is 120 a lot. and hes like. what. get on this thing #and i get off the couch literally resting and lay my hands on the handles #and we see it go up. from 80 to 90 to 100 to 110 to 120 and hes a nurse and my moms a nurse and he says go upstairs and rest #dont hang out here with the kids. and im like ha i already told mom #he said sit there for ten minutes dont do anythingg and were trying again #he got mom to call our doctor and my doctor said to stop taking the adderall which is NOT IDEAL theres worse repurcussions to stop cold #so i cut mine in half. cause i had a dosage of 20mg and i almost fainted at work. we died the dosage down to 15 #but after all that i cut my 15 down to 7.5 cause hey i cant stop cold but i can ween myself #brother said i shouldnt be taking adderall if im not doing anything that requires focus. but im like i need focus to live man #look at how much ive been drawing...i mean its only in like hour long intervals but its productive #so theres that. i can feel my heartrate already up but i guess its just a thing with me...anywho #doodles #the binding of isaac

i learned i could just copy paste my stuff to tumblr directly from my sketchbook app. like without the middleman of actually saving an image. but now it's transparent and nigh invisible on my phone on dark mode.

well. anyway crazy diamond boy says hi :) whether you can see him or not

#jjba #josuke higashikata #my art #kinda. ig this counts this time. i'll probably post this again w the whole sketch page later though so #diamond is unbreakable #jjba part 4 #and it WONT BE TRANSPARENT NEXT TIME #SO IF YOU SEE NOTHING NOW!! JUST YOU WAIT 🫵🫵🫵 #tbh i think i need a new tag just for scribbles but i just don't wanna be the guy to delineate exaclty how much rendering #makes something just a 'scribble' vs qualifying for my whole art tag #protip: avoid the problem by not making a sketch tag #i accidentally pasted this into a draft while trying to post smth else and decided Why Not #it's kinda cute. if you can see it. if i do say so myself #but i mean even if it's just a dark screen then it's still cute cuz its your reflection <3 #something something if you can see urself then ur saying hi to josuke and if u can see josuke then hes saying hi to u #and if ur on dark/dim mode and can see both then u win i suppose #my described art

girl!jack being casually sexually harassed by dean in between threats of violence and this never being brought up beyond a vague sad line from sam about how he should stop treating her like that, would have fit right in with the vibes of late seasons supernatural. terrible things keep happening, and the only energy they can summon up about it is apathy that perpetuates the suffering.

#like what would happen here is that he’d do it whenever she used her powers or showed any sort of competence #kneecap her when she feels capable because *he* feels threatened by that. by her. #and he can feel less threatened if he thinks of her as someone he can fuck #so jack does something sick with her powers and then dean says something like ‘you know you shouldn’t wear a skirt that short. you’re #distracting me and sam.’ #crucial that he includes sam there btw. as a way to make jack feel like she’s causing problems for *everyone* not just dean. and because if #sam’s there he’d have to acknowledge how often this goes on and the breadth of it to speak up. and he wont. so instead he’ll just look sad #and tell jack later that dean didnt mean it. but maybe jack should cover up more anyway. for her own good. #spn #jack kline #dean winchester

when we get to the khaenriah arc they should promote kaeya to a 5*... No more "kaeya's gonna betray mondstadt for khaenriah" only "kaeya's gonna go on a training arc and come back with a vengeance and become as strong as his brother"

extremely real anon. extremely real.

#i dont care enough about any other 4* i think only kaeya deserves this #also im kinda scared of whatever theyre gonna do w kaeya towards the end of the game #its gonna take so long it probably wont really be my problem anymore by then. but maybe i'll still be into this godforsaken game #he HAS to be plot relevant right............ #i say im scared because i dont know if i trust hoyoverse w his character arc. idk. it could be so bad #but anyway #askpilled #kaeyaposting #kaeya alberich

I’ve seen you say that u like that mine is a mystery til the end of yakuza 3 when asked abt a minedai saga i completely agree , so i feel like it would be better if kiwami 3 did happen the saga would be unlockable agter u finish the game

//sagely nodding// you get it.....

#snap chats #it'd be so funny playing as the antagonist after the game tho lmao #on that note tho i always forget mine is. technically an antagonist #LIKE I KNOW HE'S AN ANTAGONIST BUT it just doesn't feel the same as the other antags #maybe its cause he starts to do heinous shit only after daigo goes under. in that case it's just really funny #idc if we all seen the joke its still funny that Area Man Makes It Everyones Problem Pookie Wont Wake Up #to go back on topic tho. itd be so funny flvkejlLVKEJLV #at the very least they could adapt mine's character story if not all of them yk like i wouldnt EXPECT all of them. despite my selfish ass #idk. if not the rggo stories at all i dont know what a hypothetical mine saga would consist of #cause its veyr true i like mine being a mystery and to add on to that i kind of like what we see as is #maybe its just the thought of playing as him is weirding me out. not that i wouldnt kill to play as him of course #maybe its just cause thatd mean mine became playable as part of the a main game before daigo himself vjaKLVJAELKJ #AND I SAY THAT EXCLUDING GAIDEN CAUSE THAT'S DLC AND SIDE CONTENT #tho ig you colud argue a hypothetical mine saga WOULD be side content but it'd be story-relevant side content yk what i mean #im rambling. anyways. i just want the gay bar seen in 4k mk thank you.
