[fearful-quartet]

So I've been listening to The Magnus Protocol, and managed to get my dad into TMA last year so he's now listening to Mag Protocol too. So last night we were listening in the car to the latest statement, and I was half-jokingly saying which fear the statement sounded like mostly, to which my dad starts talking about how he doesn't think these statements and the O.A.I.R are connected to the Fears at all. I'm gonna try to put a cut for anyone not caught up but here's how this led to a theory of mine:

So Lena said to Gwen that there's good and bad forces that need to be balanced, but she never said which side of that the O.A.I.R. is part of, if any. I was noting this when it hit me.

Every single Magnus Protocol Statement so far has been about misfortune coming around due to perceived fortune or a fortunate opportunity becoming misfortune.

Let's break this down ep by ep so you see what I mean.

Episode One: It's a little hard to figure out what the fortune is to the misfortune, especially since it's mostly getting us used to the characters and the overall setup of the show, but for the first statement I think it's not the statement giver, but the husband. Harriet (the one emailing) says he sounded excited in an unsettling way (I am assuming the "he" she is talking about is her husband since she doesn't mention anyone else). When she meets him, or what has him, she describes that he laughed and laughed. Her misfortune was his fortune, his joy.

The second statement in that episode of course is about the Institute, but by way of a bunch of spelunkers looking for something intriguing to discuss. I haven't quite figured out the connection here but I am sure there is one, even if it's through the characters (aka Sam) finding something within it.

Two: A lot easier to connect to this. Daria is finding joy through getting this tattoo that allows her to change how she looks and alter her appearance immensely (and grotesquely). Enough said.

Three: This statement is one that overall I just don't understand tbh, but I think it shows the opposite? As in the victim is experiencing fear and discomfort the entire time, but towards the end you'll notice he gets much more happy and calm about the situation.

Four: This is again easy, it's about a violin that needs blood but will give you amazing talent if you pay that price, and horrible bloodshed if you don't. Self-explanatory.

Five: The guy is trying to make a living off watching and reviewing horror movies, gets excited at a live showing of one just for him, then realizes it's not what it seems and posts everyone should see it. Easy enough. (Very Grifter's Bone in energy)

Six: The introduction to infamous new tumblr sexyman, Needles. I shouldn't have to spell out how he gets pleasure from others in pain by needles.

Seven: All I gotta say is it's "all for a good cause" and you should get the picture.

Eight: Utilizes that uncanny fear of false hospitality if you ask me, but either way this statement is clearly taking something associated often as comforting and twisting it.

Nine: The dice literally affect fortune and misfortune and likely make the statement giver into the embodiment of fortune. 'Nuff said.

Ten: Bonzo needs no explanation for this in his introductory episode so let's move on.

Eleven: This one goes more into obsession territory than anything, which is another running theme of the show and another theory, but it also talks about how the sea brings comfort so that could be part of it. (Also I noticed the sneaky possibly Dr. David reference in there lol)

Twelve: Now I know what you're gonna say, "How is this one connected to fortune at all, Cal? It's about some woman being traumatized at a strip club!" Well think about this: what if it wasn't supposed to end in Bonzo? Gwen gave Bonzo an "assignment," didn't she? And Lena pretty much outright says that this statement was that assignment. So it's possible this is what happened after stopping the initial outcome.

Thirteen: The latest episode as of typing this, and the most clear with evidence. The man literally gains a fortune from his own misfortune, so ya know it's right there.

So every statement is a good thing turned bad or a bad thing turned good. So what? Magnus Archives had plenty of statements similarly framed, so why am I focusing on it here?

Because what is the tagline for Magnus Protocol again?

Fear takes many forms.

I really do find the concept of "The Piper" in tma really interesting; especially when considering the real life historical and mythological aspects. But what really gets me, is how the Piper in itself is warning.

In myth, The Piper led children away with his charismatic personality. In magnus we see him led Wilfred Owen astray, with his music and a pen. In reality, Wilfred Owen spoke out against political proganda and used is song/dance based imagery to paint the horrors of war for the world to see. In both fiction and fact, the thing he was describing led to his demise.

When looking at this, alot can be said about the Piper, we can talk about the literal metaphor, in which the drafting officers can be seen as the Piper, and the naive soldiers marching to their deaths become the dancing children following. Or we can look at it more abstractly, and understand that charismatic personalities are enough to led humanity to its end. Big parties and fact words can hide corruption political campaigns, big smiles and kind gestured can hide a monster. etc. So yes, the Piper is an interesting concept that represents political propganda movements vs media rebuttal.

But it's also the warning. When it plays its song, it shares with you the truth, it's up for you wether or not to listen and sing along.

Was just thinking that while I'll happily push through lower sound quality in a smaller audio drama (or earlier seasons of one that gets better), I've dropped entire high production quality audio dramas I was hooked on because of an episode where some voice effect made it unintelligible or too hard to follow without a transcript. I'm down for podcasts that I know I'll need to read along to, like The White Vault with all the accents and foreign languages, but when I'm listening on my commute or walking my dog and I suddenly need to have that aid I will put it off forever. Plus transcripts aren't even guaranteed.

Granted there were other factors, such as having caught up on backlog and I'm 100% more likely to drop something I gotta watch/listen to/read episodically, I was like that even when my choice was between finished or ongoing stuff n the Netflix full season drop style has only made me worse. But even so, even within my weird ADHD brain that is terrible at finishing things I'm not actually bored of there's some factors that can make it 100 times worse n more likely to happen.

#musings #podcast stuff #the big one here was tma i was caught up and listening weekly to season 5 during my run and the Jared Boneman episode came out #and that damn effect was so hard to understand #and i never finished it though I had been hyperfixating on it #the other is much more obscure and the effect wasnt ws bad as Jared tma #was an episode in the last season of the hidden people where we spend a lot of time with Black Annis and the mix of effect and accent #made me need to focus too hard to get it n i didnt know there were transcripts

Currently editing the old episodes of the podcast, and I've gotten so much better equipment and editing skills since then.

I plan on seeing about recording some new episodes once I get ddo. Just need to find more guests! I'm very much open to any suggestions as long as they work in the ttrpg industry.
