Season 1, Episode 1

Summary: Dwight accidentally awakens an entire medieval kingdom hidden outside his suburban town.

Dwight riding bike past farmer’s market on his way to school

Begins to talk with Jules (Juliet) in hallway

He verifies that a strawberry she offers is organic before taking it

She asks him to take a picture of an endangered bellybutton owl for her newspaper article

He agrees eventually despite being busy with other things, including a bingo night fundraiser

Fast forward through school day

Crosses several items off of to-do list until he arrives at “Owl Pic for Jules”

Rides his bike to Woodside Woods

Sets bike down as he looks for owl to take picture of

As he spots it and is taking a picture, the ground gives way beneath his feet

Screaming as he falls into a dark chamber directly onto Princess Gretta

As he moves to get up, there is a kissing noise as he accidentally kisses her

He coughs from the dust immediately afterwards

Gretta opens her eyes

Dwight screams, rapidly pushes himself away and falls backward, growing increasingly terrified as she rises

Gretta rises to her feet and pulls out her sword, raising it towards him

Gretta: “Mortal enemy, or harmless peasant?”

Dwight is panicking, when Baldric comes in and stops her

Baldric explains that Dwight is Champion of the Champion Spell

Gretta begins to insult him in incredulity that he is her Champion

Dwight asking why this is necessary

Comprehensive list of insults Dwight is called in this episode: little wiggling worm, mucus-y little toad, little rabbit pellet, spineless tadpole, snivelling little weakling, grotesque little pustule

Dwight tries to stop it and smooth it over with diplomacy

Gretta demands a new champion, and the Champion Spell is explained why that is impossible

Contract of the Champion Spell: By waking this Princess with your kiss/ you agree to perform the office and/ function of her Champion until her/ hordes of enemies are defeated.

Dwight doesn’t believe this

He also does not want to have more obligations than he does already

As he is explaining this, he backs away into a troll

Screams

Gretta tackles him and Baldric uses magic to restrain the troll while they escape

[End cap of the intro with the card that shows the title of the show]

Dwight collapses once the are above ground to catch his breath

Introductions are made

Gretta roughly knights him “Sir Dwight”

Well established again that Gretta has enemies everywhere and Dwight is insistent that he did not kiss Gretta because it was an accidentally

Champion spell explained while fleeing through the woods

Dwight riding bike with both of them in tow

Going back to Woodside High

Farmer’s Market

Bill (farmer’s market guy): “The Renaissance Fair is setting up right over there.”

Gretta eating all the plums and Dwight paying for it before pulling her away

Where Gretta was raised: cliffside fortress, desert fortress, swamp fortress, underground fortress, forest fortress

Determine it was over a thousand years since the Champion Spell was cast

Ominously looking at modern things, i.e. motorcycle, skateboarding, etc.

Ominous monstrous hand rising from forest floor

Ominous bushes rustling behind Jules until Baldric, Gretta, and Dwight come outright

Introductions… go poorly

Dwight: “This is my turf, now. What we are going to call Nice… Nice Turf.”

Shakespeare Improv Troupe

Dwight Gives Juliet bellybutton owl picture

Go to Bingo Night Fundraiser

Dwight tells Baldric to stop introducing Gretta everywhere they go

Dwight missing some of his obligations

Baldric and Gretta ransacking the bake sale until Dwight stops themselves

Forces Dwight to check for poison

Dwight: “No. Nobody poisoned the Rice Krispie treats.”

Gretta has been fighting since she was old enough to hold a sword at two

Glee club president comes up to be friendly and Gretta immediately starts choking him not even looking at him

“Harmless peasant” to disengage

Dwight: “Every guy you see is not trying to kill you.” [Lights flicker and doors thrown open as Chlodwig in black suit of armor enters.] “Okay that guy’s trying to kill you.”

Swordfight until Chlodwig gets the upper hand

Dwight interrupts in his own way, by talking

Namecalling again upon discovering that he is Gretta’s Champion (see above for names)

Chlodwig picks Gretta up and carries her off

Everyone thought it was a great performance

Dwight and Baldric pursue on bike as they return to the woods

Dwight: “Well, as far as I’m concerned, I’m a freakin’ hero just for giving your butt a ride, warrior princess girl is not my problem.”

Baldric explains that if Gretta dies her Champion does as well

Gretta hanging over a pit of dragon fire

Chlodwig: “Call me… sugar plum.”

It is obvious he wants to marry her, Gretta clearly isn’t happy about it

He acts out the roles of everyone at a wedding

Dwight and Baldric show up

Chlodwig dislikes being so rejected and threatens to cut her down and leave her to the dragon

Dwight realizes that he needs to deal with this with diplomacy and starts to talk to Chlodwig

Dwight: “I didn’t come here to fight.” Chlodwig: “You came to die, then?”

Dwight is trying to get him up to speed on the world

Chlodwig: “I am on a quest to win the hand of Princess Gretta by fair means or foul.”

Dwight: “She’s just not that into you, man.”

Guy Club

Rules:

Don’t feed girls to dragons.

Instead, write a sad poem, learn a few chords on the guitar, and sing that to other girls

Chlodwig: “I am in your debt, Guy Club brother.”

Dwight gets Dwetta down with swinging a bit

Dwight: “I am the king of Nice Turf.”

Gretta: “You are not the Champion I expected. But… you may be the Champion I need.”

Figure out where they will live now, as Dwight’s neighbors

Planning out fortifications for the house

Gretta tries to start teaching Dwight sword fighting

Dwight: “Your look is awesome. Don’t change a thing.”

“It’s not going to get much worse than that, right? Right?”

hi heres art so you pay attention to me now go read the tags

#ive been rewatching episode 7 like its the only thing on youtube and made note of many things #first off. the solver can only have one host. nori mentions skyn wants to kill off all the other solver hosts (with the dds) and disregards #the idea of both uzi and doll being its current host when they get chased #plus the main solver possessions only occur when skyn is out of the picture (the fightt in ep 7 is only after n decapitates “tessa”) #solver uzi is possible too but i dont count her cause she doesn't have the yellow #personal theory is that its more an instinctual response to overheating or something and not full on possession #second off nori calls the solver cyn. how does she know that name #cyn was on earth and only showed up to copper 9 recently and i presume nori's been here her whole life #it probably wasn't the other dds cause none of them made it down and they're all more savage beasts #since cyn specifies n's team retained their personalities and that makes me think the other teams didnt #also also we should've immediately questioned tessa arriving in the same type of pod as the mds when they were revealed to not be sent by j #im running out of characters also the people who dont like when i use tags like this can bite me #murder drones #murder drones nori #artori? that sounds cool #ill probably just stick with nori though #i have so many solver heart refs now #art #episode 7 #murder drones episode 7 #murder drones episode 7 spoilers #using the same black for shadows as my lineart doesn't work when i have to draw thin things over it #murder drones spoilers

While still fixated on TMNT at large, I am especially not able to stop thinking about Bad End Ninja Turtles, an au comic by @butterfilledpockets. 2003's "Same as it Never Was" Raph may not have ever experienced the Ninja Tribunal arc, AND I don't think Rise movie Leo still has his powers, so maybe this was just as much of a surprise for the both of them as it was for Ronin. at least we know for sursies Don-bot has seen magic shit before.

#teenage mutant ninja turtles #TMNT #tmnt 2003 #tmnt 2012 #Tmnt the last ronin #rise of the tmnt #future leo #The last Ronin #bad end ninja turtles #It is surprisingly hard to find refs of Raph in either his tribunal markings or his dragon form so this is from super low res crispy fuckin #jpegs and my precious childhood memories. #I think Rise Leo is probably extremely used to dodging a raph who can double his size in seconds #his ancient little brother instincts kicked in #Same as it never was is still my fav 03 episode its so good #Digital #sketches

Do you think that the HoM crew knows about Randy’s fear of chickens?

(I both hope they do and don’t. Do, because it’s overall funny to think about and Don’t, because I’m sure Randy’s really self conscious about his fear and worries about judgment from anyone)

if it comes up, im sure most of them would be understanding (after all, phobias sometimes can't be helped) after some good natured ribbing

but i have a feeling that Randy might try his best to seem tough in front of them and some would probably take the teasing... a bit too far

imagine ghost clowns tho >;)

[its-your-mind]

*deep breath in*

the fears 👏 have always 👏 been (in one way or another) 👏 parallel 👏 to 👏 desire 👏

let me explain.

so many of the statements given by actual avatars center around some sort of need that was met by their entity. Lots of them even had a positive relationship with the fear that drove them.

Jane Prentiss is an excellent example - the Corruption has always been about a form of toxic and possessive love, but she personally has a deep desire to be “fully consumed by what loves her,” and finds a perverse joy and relief at allowing herself to be a home

Jude Perry is another - she fucking loved watching people’s lives be utterly destroyed. The Desolation only offered her a power of destruction on a grander scale, and then gave her a more intense rush of joy as she did its work. When she tells Jon that he needs to feed the Eye before it feeds on him, it’s almost as an afterthought; she was happily feeding the Desolation long before it burned her into a new existence.

Simon Fairchild. Every time that old loose bag of bones wanders into the picture, he is having a fucking EXCELLENT time playing with the Vast. He loves showing people their own insignificance, and he loves luring them into situations where he can throw them into the void as he smiles and waves.

Peter Lukas (hell, the whole Lukas family (except Evan. RIP Evan.)) hated. people. all he wanted was for them all to go away, to leave him alone. The Lonely only fulfilled that desire.

Daisy, Trevor, and Julia, all devoted to hunting those things they deemed monstrous.

Melanie, holding tight to that bullet in her leg because on some level, she wanted it. It felt good, it felt right, it felt like it fit right alongside the anger and spite that drove her to success.

Annabelle Cane first encountered the Web when she was a child, running away from home in order to tug on her parents’ heartstrings in just the right way to have them wrapped around her little finger. Later on she volunteered to be the subject of an ESP study. Hell, she’s the one who dangled the “Is it really You that wants this?” question over Jon’s head in S4.

And that brings us to Jon, beloved Jarchivist, the Voice that Opened the Door. Ever since he was a child targeted by the Web, he was looking for answers. He joined the Magnus Institute’s Research Department looking for them, he stalked his coworkers in search for them, he broke into Gertrude’s flat and laptop out of desperation for them. And when he realized that all he had to do was Ask to get truthful answers to his questions? It was only natural for him to jump at that opportunity.

Elias told S3 Jon that he did want this, that he chose it, that at every crossroads he kept pushing onwards, and the inner turmoil that caused was one of the focal points for Jon’s character through the rest of the podcast.

There’s a certain line of thinking in many circles about the power of the Devil: he’s not able to create anything new. All he’s able to do is twist and warp that which was already present, making it something ugly and profane while still maintaining the facade of something desirable.

Jon didn’t choose the Eye. But he did wander into its realm of power, exhibiting exactly the qualities it was most capable of hijacking and warping to its own ends. Jon didn’t choose the Apocalypse. But Jonah picked at him little by little, pointing him towards each Fear individually. Jon didn’t want to release the Fears. But the Web tugged on his strings just so and laid a pretty trail for him to follow until he reached its desired conclusion.

Jon didn’t choose ultimate power, or omniscience, or even his own role as Head Archivist. But he said “yes” to the right (wrong?) orders and kept on pushing for the right (wrong?) answers. He wanted to succeed at the work he had been assigned. He wanted to protect his friends. He wanted to rescue them when they were lost. He wanted to prevent the apocalypse, to save the world. He wanted to know why he was still alive, when so many had died right in front of him.

The Great Wheel of Evil Color that is the Entities might not fit as neatly into categories in this universe - maybe there was no Robert Smirke trying to impose strict categories on emotional experiences, or maybe the ways they manifest in the world has turned on its head (goodness knows many of them have been showcased and blended in some very fun and new and horrifying ways so far) - but their fundamental foundations seem to be the same. Hell, in episode one we learned that there had been enough individual incidents to create a distinction between “dolls, watching” and “dolls, human skin.”

Smirke’s Fourteen isn’t going to be relevant as common parlance, RQ said that already, but I don’t think that means the Fears themselves (and their Dream Logic-based rules) are different - I think it means that the levels of understanding, language used, and personal connections among people “in the know” are going to be entirely unfamiliar

#tma #tmagp #the magnus protocol #tmagp meta #tmagp analysis #the entities #robert smirke #smirke's fourteen #mind write a meta post that doesn’t turn into a fucking essay challenge #I literally thought about citing my episode sources here but decided that would get too FUCKING long. #anyway I’m pulling mostly from Gerry’s statement (111) and #and the Big Elias Group Confrontation (92) #and Annabelle’s statement (147) #and then finale - 196 / 197 / 200 #there are other little lines that I grabbed - tbh feel free to ask about anything I’ve said bc I feel like I’m ready to defend a thesis #I’ve been thinking about this on and off for a few weeks since the desire thing started going around #I have an obsession with Themes as they relate to Worldbuilding and now I have subjected you all to it as well #I am serious tho if anyone wants me to pull the specific parts I’m talking about (whether cuz you have Questions or you wanna ref them too) #lmk #my hyperfocus on silly media brain might as well come in useful somehow #aight peace ✌️

sorry I really don't know how to shut up but I think it's possible that a lot of the takes that are like. "ouagh but they should've stayed together forever what happened to them being family 😭" are kind of mm. immature? naive? like have you never had a family member move out? have you never had a sibling go off to college? have you never moved away from a best friend? your family doesn't stop being your family if you don't live together. you don't stop loving people if you're not right next to them. I thought this was the "I keep a part of everyone I've ever met with me" website. what happened to the "I learned how to ride a bike from my best friend's dad when I was 7 and we don't talk anymore but I think about her every time I ride one" like. so much of growing up and being an adult is losing people. in every conceivable way. you grow apart, you talk less, you don't visit as much, you move away. that doesn't make them any less important to you. it doesn't make them any less family. it doesn't make the love any less real. something being over doesn't cheapen the fact that it happened. a show ending doesn't make the rest of it not worth watching. "it's a sad song, it's a sad tale it's a tragedy, it's a sad song but we sing it anyway," right?

#idk i havent like checked peoples ages or w/e #but as i grow up in fandom spaces #the more i realize that sometimes people are just young #and i think maybe some of the like. hatred/disappointment of this episode comes from a young point of view #a very idealistic 'we'll be together forever' perspective #WHICH. i mean. was literally addressed diagetically #kitty. who has been called out for being naive and immature and idealistic the whole show. #says 'maybe they'll decide to stay' #and cap. someone who has been a reality check and a voice of reason throughout #says 'they wont kitty' #like. they addressed the fact that it was immature to believe they were always going to stay in the show #i mean... #whatever im just. do you guys really not get the fact that it was always going to be like this? #bbc ghosts #ghosts spoilers #hadestown #for the ref
