THIS DEAD GUY HAS A SICK TATOO, SO IM BREAKING INTO A GOVERNMENT FACILITY AND STEALING HIM

[thermodynamic-comedian]

ink5oul has the opportunity to be the funniest possible example of "i hate this genre of person in real life, but god damn it, their existence in this specific piece of media is hilarious". one of those annoying influencers, except they're in the horror genre. motherfucker films you without your consent to post you on their instagram. probably pays people in exposure and everything. tries to get everywhere by just saying they're an influencer.

i'm kind of obsessed with them. consider me terrified.

concept: needles and ink5oul dancing to the masochism tango

[pinkelotjeart]

I saw @/humanteethmarksonhumanbone do this so I might aswel.

Random magnus protocol headcanons:

- Gwen has a crusty white dog named Lady.

- Gwen is clearly autistic.

- Elias is Gwen’s weed smoking uncle (I wish he were her brother but uncle makes more sense with the time line.)

- Celia is biracial, Asian and black.

- Celia is a cat person and own multiple cats.

- Celia IS tma Celia and she regularly mentions how she was part of a cult but everyone always assumes she’s joking with how light heartedly she brings it up.

- Luke knows and jokes about Grifters Bone but doesn’t know it is ACTUALLY real.

- Colin is a gay man and is married to a really sweet husband. (I truly believe this until it’s proven other wise.)

- Alice has at some point tried to instal minecraft onto a work computer, it shut down the whole system for a week.

- Needles and Ink5oul are best friends (they serve cunt together.)

I can’t think of more at this moment…

Reverse Engineering the OIAR Tagging System

I'm not the first to theorise that the tagging system is important - this post is inspired by the person who noticed that Needles and Bonzo share both a CAT and an R tag.

This is an incomplete attempt to decode the entire system for theorising purposes. Unfortunately, I was not able to figure it out as thoroughly as I hoped but I'm sharing it here in hope others can make observations. Here is the table:

For those who want a better look, or cannot see the image due to screen-reader use, here is a google document with the same table: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wc4COCMHdwKz6N-KawvMOs4Y3k3W6Kq-NDhZ7brcRLg/edit?usp=sharing

So, my observations thus far:

CAT (probably short for categories)

There are four categories so far- 1, 2, 3 and 23.

Needles, both Bonzo statements and the very first statement are the only CAT 1s so far.

Needles and Bonzo are likely to be major recurring characters, so this could suggest the creature in the first statement (which to me gives distortion vibes) may also be.

Alternatively, CAT could suggest danger. Needles and Bonzo are serial killers, while the CAT 3 statements tend to refer to very old or contained objects, so perhaps these are less dangerous? The only gap in this theory is InkSoul being CAT 3, which makes little sense given their livestreaming. Unless... could InkSoul be dead?

Generally, but not absolutely, newer statements tend to be closer to CAT 1, and older statements closer to CAT 3. Bonzo and Needles both referred to statements taken days before the episode dropped. Again, this isn't an absolute rule and the first statement is again the odd one out.

What I absolutely cannot figure out is CAT 23. I thought it was a typo until I encountered it again for Ep 11. It clearly means something special. Unlike for the R system, I don't think it means between categories 2 and 3, because the statements we get are both quite important. We'll probably have to wait for more episodes to figure this one out.

R (probably short for rank)

This is the one I'm more sure about. I believe it indicates 'grades' of some measure, like school grades. A is best, B is after that, and so on.

I think AB and BC are borderline grades.

Ep 3 and 4 (plant boy and violin man) do not have an R tag. My working theory is that this indicates the statements are below a grade C.

So what does R actually grade? Again, it could be importance (assuming that isn't what CAT means), or usefulness to the institute, but then why is our known external Mr Bonzo only a B?

So far we have no rank As and only one rank AB - the Red Canary statement.

If there's one thing I'm certain of, it's that the first rank A statement is going to be very big indeed.

Conclusion

I believe category and rank indicates any two out of the following: importance, danger, level of OIAR control, level of usefulness to OIAR, certainty of being true, amount of evidence. Ultimately, we need more statements to be sure.

For whatever two measures these systems represent, I am fairly certain that a category closer to one and a rank closer to A represents a better grade on that measure, with the exception of CAT 23 which I think is its own thing. The ultimate purpose of this post is to encourage people to pay attention to these tags more as I am certain they contain clues, and if anyone smarter than me can spot them as more episodes come out, then great.

PS: As I was just about to post this I had a sudden idea as to what CAT 23 *might* be. It could be dimensional cracks. This is clearly what's going on in the magnus institute (with the dice statement being exempt because it was taken before the institute burnt down) and it's possible the graveyard in Ep 11 also serves this function. This is pure speculation however.

Headcanon: ink5oul helped load Needles with all his needles. In avatar circles ink5oul acts as spooky claire's top surgery. Fear affirming care if you will

They're living rent free in my head against my will

[queen-of-heretics]

Imagine if when Ink5oul runs out of tattooing needles they just call op Needles and pluk the ones they need from him.

[i-do-not-know-what-it-is]

have this uber quick sketch i did of ink5oul <3 im obsessed with them :D

[oh-shit-i-spilled-my-genderfluid]

Whenever a victim client wants a full body tattoo Ink5oul just pours paint over Needles and let them roll over the victim client

CONCEPT: A NEEDLES MADE OF INK5OUL’S TATTOO NEEDLES

[thermodynamic-comedian]

tom from ep 5 is a trans man and his horrible boyfriend, needles, does his injections. his other partner, ink5oul, did his top surgery

[ink-5oul]

Because we've got ink5oul agian I'm forced to continue pusing the tattooneedle agenda (needles x ink5oul)
