I ship Alice and Gwen solely because I would adore seeing the Loathing Coworkers to Lovers Pipeline accomplished again-but this time the loathing is mutual

In TMA each of the Fears have their own set of followers and avatars that serve them by inciting their chosen Fear on other people

My current theory is that in TMAGP, the OIAR is trying to play the role of these followers for all the Fears- but mainly for the purpose of keeping the Fears "satisfied" and therefore contained

(We might eventually find out that this doesn't really work)

I spent twice as long thinking about whether I should actually post this than I did taking the time to make it~ But I know everybody missed Elias Bouchard and the BPM so....

Did you know? The farmer and the horse story told in "The Sign" is a real Chinese parable. It promotes the Taoist views on good and bad luck.

Long ago, there was a widowed Chinese farmer. The farmer and his only son labored through the cold winds of winter and scorching rays of summer with their last remaining horse. One day, the son didn’t lock the gate of the stable properly, and the horse bolted away.  When neighbors learned what happened, they came to the farmer and said, “What a sadness this is! Without your horse, you’ll be unable to maintain the farm. What a failure that your son did not lock the gate properly! This is a great tragedy!” The farmer replied, “Maybe yes, maybe no.”

My personal theory about why Colin was so annoyed at his therapists for not knowing what logic gates are (once I got over my initial reaction of "bestie what the fuck kind of expectation is that") is that he somehow got into an argument similar to the following with all of them:

THERAPIST: It can be the stress of the job and/or stress about something in your personal life.

COLIN: Don't say "and/or", it's redundant and sounds stupid.

THERAPIST: Pardon?

COLIN: "OR" is false only when both statements are false. You don't have to throw "AND" in there to include the possibility that both statements are true. You're not saying "XOR", it's not exclusive.

THERAPIST: Well, I-

COLIN: You are an idiot and this is a waste of my time.

Today's gender is that little blast of 90's nostalgia.

my favorite part of the magnus protocol was when mr bonzo bonzoed all over the place

[olderdearness]

The craziest thing about Mr Bonzo is that he’s based off of 1990s British icon Mr Blobby and somehow the real thing is equally if not more creepy. Even down to the fucking voice… and the no1 hit single😭

#tmagp #what the fucking hell

The way I had to pause Episode 10 to make sure the creepy background clown music wasn't coming from another source entirely though
