I dont care how happy you are

This is an odd thing to say to someone you JUST met. Idk why nobody else has mentioned this. Feels like theres something more, with sam and gerry that neither really remember or are letting on.

ALSO (MAGP 010 SPOILERS)

That theory about the institute using artifacts to turn children into avatars is looking more and more plausible by the day.

Also sam i might have an answer for why they didn't chose you if the Turning Kids Into Avatars theory has merit. So the weird spreadsheet thing has a bunch of columns with a bunch of titles that i havent seen anyone even try ti guess at the meaning behind. But the one that is clear is "empathy index". All the relavent names on the list (Connor [possibly Alice possibly another brother] Dyer, Gerard Keay, Samama Khalid) have really high scores in the empathy index wirh 85%, 95%, and 98% respectively. Now if i was trying to turn chuldren into monsters i would probably see high empathy as a fairly substantial obstacle. Maybe enough of an obstacle to release those children with high enough empathy scores from my evil plans.

But hey thats just a theory

conspiracy reddit threads

mommy blogs

videos that people make when they think they're about to die

drafts of a screenplay

emails from a phd supervisor increasingly concerned about their student

OHHH, I just thought of something.

It's been bugging me that Norris, Chester, and Augustus started speaking around a year ago, and I've been wondering about the significance of that timing. At first I thought maybe it was some consequence of whatever RedCanary stumbled into at the Magnus Institute, because that was a bit over a year and a half ago--we know from the case numbering system that the episodes are taking place in the present day (episode 2 was taking place on Jan 18 2024; note for my fellow US folks that the dates are the UK standard with day first, not month). And from the dates on the forum posts, RedCanary's series of unfortunate events was in April 2022.

BUT based on their case numbers, which give the date the case's events happened even if that's not said in the episode, all the incidents Sam has looked at so far were from mid 2022. They're not perfectly grouped together; the dolls and Arthur and RedCanary were all April through May 2022, while Daria's therapy appointment was September--that last one's a bit of a jump, but it could have happened depending on how cases are being allotted among the various workers. But they're all close enough that it's a plausible assumption, I think, that FR3-D1 is generally finding these things roughly as they're posted and then adding them into people's queues for review. This would mean they're at a current backlog of around a year and a half. (Looking at you, Gwen...)

If that's the case, and if the OIAR's workers have been maintaining a roughly constant rate, then around a year ago they would probably have been reviewing a lot of cases that FR3-D1 found in early to mid-2021. Which means they'd have been opening files that have been sitting in their database untouched since that time.

MAG200 aired on March 25, 2021.

Whether Chester and Norris are a Ushanka'd JMart, or something resulting purely from Annabelle Caine's manipulation of their voices, or something else entirely... l don't know. But I am betting that they didn't start as part of the system, like Colin thinks they did. I think there was some direct consequence of MAG200's events which led to them being embedded in a post that FR3-D1 scraped up, and that they simply weren't activated and "let loose" until some unknowing office worker clicked on their file.

waiting for the moment one of the text-to-speech voices says something directly to Sam and when he brings it up to the office nobody takes him seriously

So. Norris! Buddy. Is there any particular reason you decided to read that particular file for everyone?

You know, the file about a man consumed by fear and guilt because he murdered the person he loved?

The file about a man who finds himself trapped in a walled garden, cut off from the outside world, with his murdered lover's voice forever whispering in whatever remains of his ears?

The file about a man who finds himself gradually losing his humanity as his new prison transforms him, slowly and painfully, into a part of itself?

The file about a man who finds that even as this transformation ultimately brings him serenity on the surface, even as he can no longer remember what he once was, "deep inside [him] beneath the roots there is something that still shakes with terror"?

Look, I'm just asking, here, but is there anything you'd like to say to the class, Norris?

i've seen a lot of people talk about the whole "glitches in the audio means someone's lying" theory, and one thing i find really interesting about that is that apparently there's been only one glitch when lena's talking? which means that there's only one thing she's been lying about, and that's about colin being able to resign.

now, to me, this makes sense. it seems like someone other than lena is in charge of colin's employment, or at least making sure he can't leave. we had both of these lines way back in episode 1:

so, if the glitch theory is true, the only intentional lie lena has told thus far is that colin can leave. which means

things lena kelley has NOT been lying about:

people (other than colin) are able to quit

she wasn't able to join the others at the bar

she's not particularly wealthy

she's been needing someone to step up to "the real job" for a while now

she does not watch television

the theatricality IS necessary

mr. bonzo is a valued asset

screaming helps (they usually like it)

basically everything she said about the oiar and its purpose in tmagp 13

If you're lamenting the fact that you used to be able to shoot through a 500-page novel in like a day when you were in middle school and now you can't, it's worth bearing in mind that a big part of that is because when you were in middle school, your reading comprehension sucked. Yes, mental health and the stresses of adult life can definitely be factors, but it's also the case that reading is typically more effortful as an adult because you've learned to Ponder The Implications. The material isn't just skimming over the surface of your brain anymore, and some of the spoons you used to spend on maximising your daily page count are now spent on actually thinking about what you're reading!

streets are saying that Misha stood on a convention stage today and said "If the CW hadn’t been so homophobic, Dean and Cas would’ve been balls deep for sure.”

now I know Misha’s said many noteworthy and occasionally unhinged things on stages in his time and he phrased this in the most chaotic manner possible

but I'm just here to say that I think what's noteworthy here is him explicitly calling The CW — the network itself — the homophobic obstacle to destiel

it IS a Big Deal because overall the censorship really just isn’t talked about, as we all know

but finally, there it is

[nobodywritingao3]

Wait wtf happened???? Why is spn trending again???? How am I this late? MISHA WHAT DID YOU DO??????? BALLS DEEP?????
