#tmagp avatars

tma avatars: “we're gonna fuck you up in the most terrifying ways imaginable, we're gonna leave you with long-lasting trauma, both physical and psychological. you'll regret ever coming into contact with us.”

tmagp avatars: “i'm made of needles and i love cuddling people you don't think i'm scary??? >:(( how dare you” “i grew a goatee and started dressing up as a mysterious figure just because i got a cool haunted artifact. alright let me just roll this cursed dice one last time, it's surely not going to kill me brutally”

Recently, during a discussion about Mr Blobby, who Mr Bonzo was based off of, I was reminded of other unsettling shows, specifically the numberjacks.

Now, british TMAGP and TMA viewers. I have a very important poll for you.

I’m calling it now, Sam’s gonna become an avatar, willingly.

random tmagp characters that seem to be Characters™ but we don't know them yet:

ink5oul

fancy man with a bag of spooky objects

Needles

#these 2 give me the same vibes as the random gerry and avatar mentions before they were properly introduced. #u know what i mean? #tmagp #the magnus protocol #i'll update this post if there are other Special Guys that we haven't properly met yer #*yet

the way the mysterious men in black dealt with the "volunteers" in today's magprotocol episode reminded me of how avatars would sometimes sabotage each other's rituals, as well as how hunt avatars often operated, and it makes me wonder whether, in the universe of protocol, those who would have likely become servants of the dread powers in tma are more likely to be drawn to those kinds of professions and positions of authority where they can exert a similar kind of effect on others through fear and violence. and whether they might feel inexplicably challenged by these new monsters and compelled to seek them out and put them down.

#🐉 #tmagp #tmagp spoilers #like. the avatars were partially allusions to how having the inclination to harm yourself or others #makes you a compelling target recruit for institutions of power to take advantage of. #idk if im making any sense at all lol

wait wait wait so in episode 160 Jon mentions that he’s more worried about the hunters (Trevor and Julia) and Not Sasha tracking them down (than say Daisy or Elias)…and when we get to season 5 Not Sasha is in like the fifth episode and only the third after they’ve actually exited the cabin. So I get dream logic and all but it’s implied that many avatars remained geographically where they were when the change happened. given that she was that close to what used to be Scotland…WAS SHE ACTUALLY AFTER JON AND MARTIN??

both the avatars we've seen so far are such cringefail losers. mr “i cuddle people to death and will break down the moment someone says i'm not scary” needles and mx “i changed my entire wardrobe and aesthetic as soon as i realized i had the power to wreak chaos, but i gave up my spooky artifact the moment i witnessed one really gorey consequence and died immediately afterward” whatever-their-name-is.

so about the header that proceeded today's statement:

Viability as agent: Low

Viability as subject: None

Viability as catalyst: Medium

i didn't know what to think of this part of the entry at first, but the longer the statement went on... was the institute in this universe trying to manufacture avatars?

the dice can't do anything without someone to use them, they can't be an "agent" by themselves, but might be capable of manipulation, so in that aspect their viability is "low."

the dice could be a "subject" in the sense that they could use further studying, but the statement itself was a very thorough investigation of their workings, so in that aspect their viability is "none."

the dice seem to influence their holder to roll them, or at least find more victims to roll them, and could therefore be described as a "catalyst" for someone's becoming. but, as seen in the statement, their owner can give the dice to someone else (albeit not without consequences), so in that aspect their viability is only "medium."

so what about the line following all this, what does "Recommend referral to Catalytics for Enrichment applicability assessment" mean? if we go by this interpretation, i'd say it could mean the institute wanted to find a way to make the dice even more potent as an artifact, maybe even remove that pesky ability for their owner to reject them.

imho all of this this brings a whole new level of context to the events of episode seven, of unknown violent agents going after an influx of objects that seemed straight out of artifact storage. was that the nature of the titular "magnus protocol" first mentioned in episode four, the one that involved the starkwall group? containing or destroying potential artifacts before the institute could get their hands on them?

it also makes their "gifted kids program," and sam's link to it as one of the kids being studied, all the more horrifying to think about. was it not just avatars in general they were after, but child avatars specifically? no wonder gertrude got so defensive over the possibility of sam and celia dragging gerry back into the institute's business last episode, we all picked up on her clearly knowing more than she's letting on but now we might know the shape of that information a bit better.

and one final bit of food for thought... this statement had a lot of familiar themes, didn't it? free will or the illusion of it, gambling and not-so-random chance, the statement giver being done in by one final hit from what feels like a bit of an addition... all hallmarks of a certain mother of puppets. doesn't it seem fitting that "chester" would use this kind of statement to warn sam about what harm pursuing the magnus institute could bring to him, considering the one his voice might draw from? and doesn't it seem so painfully ironic that his warning seems to have only driven sam further into that web?

#tmagp #the magnus protocol #tmagp spoilers #tmagp 9 spoilers #MANY THOUGHTS HEAD FULL AAAAAAAAAA #there are so many other things i want to link to this but i also just want to post it asap to get other people's thoughts #honestly at the word 'catalyst' my mind went straight to mike crew using ex altiora to become an avatar of the vast #combing through lietners until he found one that fit #and the statement giver from mag 4 feeling like he had to specifically sell ex altiora to gerry or it wouldn't 'count' #i can't pull out the episode quotes every time i have a theory or it becomes a bit passé but know they are always on my mind #also that last paragraph just came to me in a vision while i was typing up the rest of this i hope it's not too far of a reach #i tried to keep it vague but i'm also imagining jon banging his head against the inside of a crt monitor in frustration r/n #i still need to read the breakdown of the arg so if any info in that bolsters or discredits this please let me know!!!

I love how people draw needles, I really do but he prolly looks more like this

[wwpbviiid]

Jonny called Needles a monster, not an avatar, right? Like correct me if I’m wrong here but wasn’t there a difference in TMA? Monsters were formed by the Fears, avatars were once human. The Distortion was a monster whereas Jane Prentiss was an avatar

#like ik the Tma stuff won’t necessarily apply but this is in response to people calling him an avatar #which is already using tma terminology that hasn’t been backed up by protocol #tmagp #the magnus protocol #tma x tmagp #tmagp needles #needles tmagp
