***Spoilers for MAGP 13***

Just reblogging this to add the following quotes which are fervently bouncing around in my head:

"The world is full of opposing forces, some benevolent, most not. In order for the wheels to keep on turning, all these forces need to be monitored and balanced. That is where we come in."

"We are...managing the 'bad guys'..."

Magnus Protocol Theory Time

***Spoilers within, you have been warned.***

I have a theory regarding what is going on in The Magnus Protocol universe, and figured I'd share it on the slim chance I'm right and can reblog this months or years from now.

Season 5 of The Magnus Archives proved that a Fearpocalypse is an unsustainable end state for The Fears. Whether it takes a year or a century, the world will eventually be burnt out and all living things will meet The End.

If we're to assume that The Magnus Protocol is a continuation of The Magnus Archives, and is set in the new world which The Fears escaped to at the end of the main series, it stands to reason that The Web would have learned from its past mistake.

I posit to you all that, in this world, The Web has established a (perhaps tense) truce between The Fears. No more in-fighting. No more rituals. In exchange, they share the world and a steady flow of fear is guaranteed for all parties.

A coalition of this magnitude would require a bookkeeping department. A group dedicated to tracking the flow of fear. Thoroughly categorizing what fears are being generated.

I believe that the OIAR is this department.

It would explain why there is such an emphasis on categorizing each case, yet no care to respond or follow up. All that matters is a meticulous log of which Fears are being elicited.

Just imagine CEO Annabelle Cane and a board of directors comprised of avatars from each fear. The opportunity for bureaucratic satire knows no bounds. And this may be why Lena makes the comments she does regarding upper management, assuming she is somewhat in the loop.

Other small theories I have: - Sam checking off the "Response 121" box in the first episode will have dire consequences. - Episode 3 has me wondering if TTS Jon/Martin are trying to break the system from within (causing those .jmj errors) but Colin keeps repairing things and they're Compelled to read cases.

Anywho, that's all I've got! Can't wait to see what unfolds.

And we're oh so lucky to have you, too 🥰 Thanks for including us in your ever-wonderful projects!!

I just want to give (another) shout out to @totcoc0a and @taytayheyhey, two phenomenal people who I have known for less than a year but have had such a big impact on my life and work. Getting to make shows with them in it is a fucking gift and I'm so lucky to know and work with them. When I say "get these people in your shows!" it's not just because they're my friends but because they are two of the most talented people I've ever had the privilege of knowing. From the Fringes to Forged Bonds to whatever comes after, I'm lucky to have them 💜

#yes this is my exact same response on Twitter #smh Pine making this loved idiot open two separate apps

Someday I'm going to reblog this with the context and feel completely vindicated, mark my words

A completely normal day of working on The Fringes with @taytayheyhey and @totcoc0a
