The way Elias seemed to be disproportionately panicking when Martin started burning statements
I just think maybe without them around the meaning of the title Archivist would have become obsolete and the ritual would no longer actually work. And unlike killing him or the blinding solution, it would have been painless and hurt no one but his institute in the process
Just a thought

I have a take and I need to know if anyone else has it.
Prince Charles and the Beatles have canonically been taken by the Stranger and likely perished during the attempt its ritual.
In MAG118: The Masquerade, Tim acknowledges them as being part of the museum, commenting on how they all look like they've been in accidents.
However, we later find that the waxworks are actually real, living, petrified people who have been likely deformed through wax (the part where Jon and Basira fight about saving the people trapped as waxworks). Thus, implying that Prince Charles and the Beatles were also there, petrified and alive, by the time of the ritual.
THUS, implying that the Archival team blew up not only a bunch of random innocent people taken by the Stranger, but also Prince Charles and thE FUCKING BEATLES.
I spiraled about this on call with my friend who is on his first listen and I probably sounded insane because he got very concerned.
(I know I could be wrong, but let me be insane)

TMA 118 Masquerade. This is it. This is the big one.
Okay, Martin finally getting to do something - something that could be dangerous - and he’s enjoying it so much! Martin has such a rebellious side that he keeps neatly hidden and finally he lets it go free.
Everyone always underestimates Martin - even Jon, at first. But Martin has a lot of strength and courage and rebelliousness underneath the tea and jumpers.
Meanwhile Jon is freaking out over cobwebs (brilliant writing, to put Martin’s rebellion and Jon’s fear side by side)
Elias well aware that Martin will do anything for Jon…
Love Martin getting angry that Elias doesn’t consider him a threat, or dangerous, and Martin gleefully proving him wrong. I know Jon and the others are on a dangerous mission, but Martin is so much a hero in this too, standing up to Elias.
Oh, it’s so sad, Martin admitting, defiantly, that he has feelings for Jon even though he treats him badly. And interesting that Elias admits he should have found a way to destroy Martin via Jon - but couldn’t. He says because of time but perhaps because he just couldn’t, truthfully, find it?
And Elias destroys Martin, as he said he would, via his mother - and yet Martin continues with the plan. Broken and destroyed, he still carries on. Have I mentioned how much I love Martin?

'Sorry, Elias. I can't hear you. There's – a door in the way.'
or when in doubt, do a Leyendecker study (JC leyendecker "Childhood Thanksgiving,"November 26, 1927)

No wonder The Web wanted Martin, Melanie is literally being affected by The Slaughter and all Martin had to do was go "Melanie please 🥺" and she immediately chilled out

TMA S3 FINALE (and me screaming)
I don’t know where to start. Maybe the fact that everyone I like in this podcast always dies? Yeah I’ll start there. What the fuck guys. What. Like. What?????
I’m not going into my usual format but holy shit. MAG 119 was like motion sickness but for my ears. The music. I hated it so much. That organ. Tim. Tim. I knew he raised too many death flags, Jesus. Like I’m happy and all for him but GOD NO. AND DAISY??? Though when she started attacking the shit out of Breekon and Hope, I did internally cheer her on. The fact they tried to act as Basira made me wanna scream. Now that I think about it, was Daisy being influenced by one of the entities?? Like The Slaughter?
Basira is so much stronger than me. Like genuinely, I think she got bumped up a couple places just by her sheer logic during 119 and I am so impressed 💀 so much so, I’m wondering if she had like any internal help, y’know??
Orsinov is like one of the most horrifying sounding characters here. The moment she put on Gertrude’s and Leitners voice, I shrieked. Something about the sing-song voice, the way she inflects certain words makes my head spin. Like Michael.
Little backtracking, Martins situation with his mom is like devastating. And the moment Elias started speaking, I knew he was gonna pull out some traumatizing shitty news to give Martin, I hate him.
Fast forwarding: Jon’s dreams
Okay. So. Jon I guess is in some sort of coma and man are his dreams fucked up.
All the people that appeared in there were the people who gave physical statements. Not super hard to figure out but we had Dr Lionel Elliott, Tessa Winters, then Daisy but obviously she’s not there (DAISY 😭), Karolina Górka, Jordan Kennedy, I think the melted woman refers to Jude Perry, the hunters (Julia and Trevor), Naomi Herne and then the pitying figure. The only woman I would think would fit this vague description is Sasha because of course it’s vague, he doesn’t remember her and I’m going to sob.
Bit scared on what Jon is turning into. Whatever it is, it’s not anything good. He’s watching a lot and I guess he’s watching other people’s dreams- or nightmares- and just….watching??? I’d be terrified.
Elias got arrested. Love it. Though, “Be seeing you” I HATE YOU. 🫵🏻
Would be happy but god damn PETER LUKAS has replaced him and I don’t know if that’s worse or better because we at least know Elias’s actions and his limits. We don’t know much on Peter and I don’t like him at all. At least he’s giving them paid leave. And a counselor. I personally need a counselor for this WHOLE SEASON.
When people told me “good luck” when I started getting into TMA, I laughed it off. I should’ve taken it more seriously because I have never felt more distinct and unpredictable emotions than listening to this podcast. I think that’s all my thoughts. Mostly I’m just uhh dying here. I hate everyone and this podcast and I’ll be listening to the beginning of Season 4 tomorrow!
Again, thank you to everyone who has been following my mini rants and crappy theories. Remember when I thought Gertrude was living in the tunnels??? But seriously, thanks to anyone who has been like fully reading through my posts. School has been wack and the people, and just the podcast as a whole has been making my time less stressful 💀 anyways that’s too emotionally vulnerable so thank you!!!
