someone was talking about Alice and Celia being anagrams and it’s times like this I really just hate Jonny Sims. Because you see, your first instinct is to theorize what that could mean because it’s got to mean something right? Wrong. This is the same writer who plagiarized his own birth certificate for a main character and then named three important re-occurring characters Michael….IN A AUDIO PODCAST.
Jonny sims is a genius writer, but he also wrote “there is no such thing as a name” about himself and his tendency to just pick names based on whatever first comes to mind. HE VOICED A CHARACTER NAMED DONNY SUMS. DONNY FUCKING SUMS ARE YOU KIDDING ME-

Hey! You! The gay people in my computer! Yah you! I just need you to listen to me for like five minutes (I’m either a genius or all the hair dye is finally seeping into my brain). With every new episode that comes out more and more theory’s are made and a lot of them I’ve noticed point towards all the different ominous things the characters say or do and what that could possibly mean. Most often though they lead to the implication of the character being not totally human. And I mean that’s what it’s all about right?
The Magnus Archives is about what makes a monster and the Magnus protocol is about what makes a human.
There’s also been a-lot of talk comparing the two podcasts:
•the intro music being more intense right off the bat in this one
•placing a lot of emphasis on the fact that the employees can leave whenever they want
At first i thought maybe the plot was just moving faster this time around but it’s not that, it’s moving backwards I think.
•Starting with the employee quitting vs ending with Jon and Martin ‘quitting’.
•Starting showing us how the computer just spits out cases whenever and you can’t stop it vs near the end when Jon couldn’t help himself from making a statement either.
Everyone in the Magnus Archives was human at one point or another, I think everyone in the Magnus protocol was a monster at one point or another.
Jonny sims is really good at plot twists and I think this would be honestly genius. I mean, think about it, don’t think about the Magnus archives, don’t think about the characters past or future, detach yourself from the eye and just look at these characters as they are, right in the moment.
“Oh that’s an ominous thing to say”
“oh that sounds like foreshadowing”
“oh that’s a weird way to say that”
how many times about how many characters do we have those thoughts? We’re only 6 episodes in and I can’t even count the amount of times I’ve thought something one of the characters said was a bit odd. A couple times is normal but especially this early on into a series it shouldn’t be so obvious, it’s to easy. We the fans latch onto these little bits of dialogue and theorize them to death and then move on to the next one and do the same thing all over again, connecting them like the web in the Magnus archives.
But this isn’t the Magnus archives.
Jonny sims once said writing the Magnus archives had to be a balancing act because he had to make sure that the timing of it made sense for people listening as it came out as well as people binging it way after it came out, there was only one safe house episode partly because he didn’t want fans listening as it came out to get bored since it would feel alot longer then It would for people binging it later. I think because this is following the Magnus archives there is a new element of it starting off with a pretty large fan base and because of that Jonny can bank on the fact that more people will be listening as the episodes come out and so we will be less likely to realize how often these strange lines are occurring and how easy it feels.
I think everyone in the Magnus protocol is only pretending to be human, doing a poor imitation which just gets worse with time like how the quality of a printed image will go down which each new copy you make. They remind me of the Not!Them, or the distortion, pretending to be someone/something your not and doing it so well it’s almost an exact copy….but not completely, some things are just slightly off, some things make you look twice and wonder.
None of them are human, not completely.

!!!PODCAST WITH GEORGIE??!!!?
im gonna assume this is U2 Georgie, as last we heard from Georgie in tma she was distinctly not going anywhere. So then we have-
Option 1a: This Celia really is U1 Celia, and she looked up Georgie after dimension-warping, because, cult. But why would Georgie go along with that, presumably believe her about all of that without substantial proof? Tbf, maybe Celia has that proof and we just dont know. Or maybe Georgie just thinks she's making a fun podcast about interdimensional travel?
Option 1b: This Celia IS U1 Celia, but the tapes dimension-hopped along with her. She showed them to Georgie as proof, which Georgie believed.
Option 2: This Celia is U2 Celia, and maybe she was already friends with Georgie, or Georgie also heard the tapes and that's what brought them together. They decide to try to figure out what the hell is going on and make a podcast about it! Or, Georgie pivots WTG to use her existing audience as amateur researchers
in any case GEORGIE!!
