The more I research things in relation to magnus protocol the more I'm just like utterly filled with that classic emotion known as "holy shit Jonny Sims did his motherfuckin RESEARCH for this bad baby *smacks side of podcast*"

I feel like in doing any research at all on any topic, I'm finding myself sucked with black hole force into a wikipedia hole and end up accidentally reverse engineering this like, massive writing research tree from the listening side. It's been so implausibly frequent and intricate to have one topic just happen to link to yet ANOTHER eerily related topic that I'm starting to second guess myself, like am I seeing connections where there are none???

But like idk I think there's just SO MUCH and every seemingly unrelated leaf actually does, in fact, end up connecting back to a branch that does seem intimitely related to the tree (...as it were.)(fuckin. Can't talk about trees no more. Fuck u Isaac Newton. Fuckin apple head. Dog apple head fuck. Calcinate ur god damn laboratory) but it's just like the largest kudzu on the fucking planet and there are so many god damn leafs and branches I can't even see a damn quarter of the whole picture, even just considering the historical and alchemical research, before even considering the fictional plot and worldbuilding and how that's tying the irl stuff and TMA stuff and its own stuff together and !! (Is Georgie...???)

And through all of that. I have learned much. And I can say I know for certain now two things.

One: I thought I knew what alchemy was and what its purpose was, and at least a couple of things about it. I did not!

Two: it is infinitely funny that literally right after the Hooke episode (#19) when I was doing research on just Hooke and Micrographia, I said, in total and utter ignorance of any importance this phrasing might have: "[this episode is] Sprinkling mint seeds of Spooky History Research on the fertile but barren golf course of my mind".

I hope Jonny and Alex saw that and got a little chuckle. "Wow this guy really is gonna flip his fuckin lid when he finds out about the steps of alchemy. Like, oh I dunno, Separation! For example" WELL I DID!!! I did flip my lid.

TMagP ep so potent in its in-world 17th century lore drop that it caused me to briefly see into the future. Supernatural cosmic horror writing so choice that it manifests real actual spooky happenings in the real world. wait isnt that a john carpenter film

anyways I'm mostly writing this just to get it out of my own head, bc I feel like I'm losing my mind like I've stepped into a twilight zone episode and I need to find a way back to my original dimension somehow. but also if u read this and are intrigued by what i mean by any of it. i strongly encourage starting some wikipedia holing of ur own. start with literally anything on any topic mentioned in protocol. but esp looking into Sam's comment to Celia in TMP 19, about "spiritual substitution of elements". and know that this will take u on a magical internet journey from which you may return, but not unchanged

Hey guys, as someone who doesn't care to come first and is sitting with relatively comfortable grades (B's mostly) and higher in the subjects I actually care about- how do I deal with being moved down in the class I'm actually supposed to be good at and have always excelled at?

*Eye twitching*

I need psychologists to step tf up and do more research on social anxiety caused by (bullying) trauma bc idgaf about ordering food at a restaurant, but meeting new people especially when they all know each other and I'm the stranger (quite specific trauma) literally takes me back to when I was 8 and the new kid at school that no one wanted to be friends with lololololol

idk I just wanna subscribe to the notion of “if what you’re doing isn’t hurting anyone then you should be able to do what you’re doing without judgment”

was dancing, killed an spider (while im extremely arachnophobic holy shit) panicked, and went to my bed again. now i feel spiders all over my body dammnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[vroomvroomthings]

Not Lando trying to come off as an underdog. Bro, you're on a bonafide rocketship, starting on pole in a track with a higher pole-to-win ratio than MONACO iirc. Y'all aren't the underdogs anymore, dude, and haven't been since like Miami... despite results. If you fail to get an easy win then that's 100% skill issue.

My supper is an overcooked onion bhaji, Gü cheesecake and a can of IPA.
