The parallels between Coda and Baron: a yap

Most of this is copy and pasted from the discord with some adjustments. I figured I might as well post it to the world for others to see, so enjoy!

When you really think about it, Coda and Baron are pretty much the same episode. Besides the obvious parallel of Kozma and Concords fates, there’s A LOT of other similarities. They’re both about a meeting between Weepe and his current main opposing force. Both Concord and Lazlo have ulterior motives and want something more from him. They both attempt to have the power in the conversation before it quickly and suddenly gets shifted to Weepe, and then there’s also just Weepe. In both meetings, he is self medicating either with his own Syringe Nutcracker Combo™ or with the Big Ass Machine™ in his mansion. And then, both times, he uses his own fold blood to jellify the rival. Also, both episodes HEAVILY focus on the mystery of “what the fuck is going on with Moc Weepe”. Coda introduces his fold ailment and his connection to the mothers (thanks to the appendix), and Baron fully explains the story.

Furthermore, identifying the differences between the two scenes is just as interesting, because to me it really represents everything in Weepes life that has changed between the two episodes. In Coda, he’s at the Cabaret, he’s not (super) fucked up and the biggest thing in his life at that time is the exact subject of the conversation: the breach route. He kills Concord in order to continue the one real thing on his mind, being his own rise to power.

And then in Baron, he’s in his new mansion with his new status that he now has purely BECAUSE of what he did to Concord in Coda, he’s all fucked up and weird thanks to his rise to power, the scope of his life has gotten a lot bigger and the conversation topic is, again, the biggest thing in his life currently: The Trust, and him getting revenge on the very person who fucked him over all those years ago.

I feel like this could be used to make a secondary yap about the parallels of Kozma Lazlo and Atticus Concord as characters, but I’ll leave that for someone else to pick up.

Yap over.

TL;DR: I fucking love this podcast.

Midst for... Halloween? (or cosplay in general)

Hello! I'd be willing to work with anyone in the NYC metro area who is interested in embodying a Midst character.

I have a workshop! Raw materials! Space to work with weird and stinky glues and materials! LEDs and circuit boards!

Message me and we can meet up irl and talk about your idea. We'll get the videogame armor, however stupid, to work.

My current project is to make a "levitated" shard of Midst-cosmos mica... will post pictures as work progresses.

I'm curious to see where the Midst community's heads are at regarding this overarching mystery!

We do not have all the pieces yet, but it's safe to assume that a significant amount of the clues were present in seasons 1 and 2. It goes without saying that this is the mystery at the heart of this storyline, and there are no shortage of suspects to choose from.

(Excluding the final entry, this list has been set in alphabetical order so as to avoid personal biases)

Now that we’re so close to midst s3 e17 I’m once again wondering what the fuck is up with Meryl concord???? And also Atticus concord???? And how this is all going to bite Weepe in the ass???

Are they actually siblings? Were they previously one person and now got split into two people? Is Atticus going to be raised from the dead thru fold magic? Will Barty and Lloyd be okay if he is raised from the dead??? Has Meryl been a red herring this whole time????

I have no idea but god the speculation is so fun, I really don’t know what to expect

[saintfu]

That nutcracker really was a shitty gift.

Atticus Concord in my brain the moment the Narrators said he wears a bowler hat

[soath]

something sooo interesting about saskia is how she’s defined by indirect violence. it’s part of that dangerous noir dame archetype, obviously, but there’s more to it with saskia. i’m thinking in particular about how she writes off phineas at the beginning of season 2—she doesn’t refuse him safety outright, she just gives him a quest that will almost certainly kill him. how when we first see her at atticus concord’s meeting at the black candle she lets weepe take the lead—weepe who ends the meeting with a “we’re gonna fucking kill you”. it was her business first and this is who she chose to run it with her, this is her appointed partner and proxy. her threat to weepe in moonfall was an indirect one too—she had his medical case and he didn’t. when she goes to hieronymous about the big bank explosion it’s to soften the blow, but critically never to limit its efficacy. saskia who never looks people in the eyes, whose art has her in gloves, who is repeatedly distanced from violence while still driving it. saskia whose most direct act is still in some ways oblique—milton fleit set the beads to shred and she just pulled the final lever—and yet is also the most involved we’ve seen her. classic detective noir to put a previously opaque female force behind the trigger in the final act.

Now that we're through season two of Midst and are looking forward to the trailer for season three this week, I thought it'd be fun to return to the season two trailer to take a look at the "questions you may have" after the season one finale that it listed and see how many of them we got answers to and which are questions we still have!

——

Why the fuck did the moon explode? This is still a question we all have, audience and characters alike.

What's gonna happen to utterly doomed Midst and everybody trapped on it by an incoming wave of reality-devouring fog? Just as when Saskia was asked this, it is not really possible to answer this one succinctly—but we do get an answer.

Are Lark and Tzila gonna be okay? Yes! Physically, at least. For the time being.

Are they gonna figure out that Sherman's not dead? They did. It was harrowing.

What's Phineas gonna do now that he's been abandoned by the Trust, the very institution that raised him and gave him purpose and his sense of self-worth? And like, what is he gonna do? Go to therapy. I cannot believe, in the best way, that the answer is literally "go to therapy" here. After that, it's go to the Un (!!!) to rescue Sherman. He's always running after one Guthrie or another.

Will Jonas Spahr do the right thing? He's done a lot of things. Some of it was definitely not the right thing, and some was an attempt at the right thing, and some of it was a failure to commit to the right thing. So, mixed bag at best. It can be said that, ultimately, Jonas Spahr has come to a place where he is trying to do the right thing.

What even is the right thing? This is highly subjective, both in reference to Spahr and in general, so whether we received an answer to this is up to interpretation. There are few clear and unequivocal answers in this story.

What is Imelda's deal? Zealotry!

Why did the Trust even bother rescuing Moc Weepe even though he's this weird sleazeball piece of shit who stabbed his closest friends in the back? That massive ridiculousness of an abacus was more than just an inconvenience, it represented the fact that Weepe has enough Valor to be a member of the Upper Trust! Also, Imelda sees his cunning and ruthlessness as an asset and something that the Trust needs, which should concern everyone.

And what is a mirrorhawk? This has not gotten clearer, and I suspect never will! They're apparently edible though, given herbed mirrohawk dip was served at an Upper Trust luncheon.

What is a bocular horse? "You really know what it is. It really barely needs mentioning. You've seen science fiction. Yes, that picture you've got of the bocular horse in your mind right now, that's it."

What is going on with Weepe's voice? Apparently the same as what's going on with the rest of him, given his voice has gotten more gravelly lately against all odds.

Is Landlord gonna die? They told us this one in the season two trailer directly: no. He does make a couple of lovely reappearances.

Why did Lark kill Fuze? What is she trying to hide? Tying up loose ends, trying to prevent him from identifying her as the one who killed Maximilian Loxlee. Why she killed Maximilian, however, is a new question we've got.

Is the nutcracker okay? It was! Then Saskia threw it out, so...

Will the rapidly depreciating value of Valor ever restabilize, or is the market doomed to implode? Still waiting on this one, and the Trust is sure trying to stablize the market. It's not looking great though, gonna be honest.

Is the Trust bad? It's pretty bad over there, to put it mildly.

Did Saskia's dogs really eat the melted corpse of enterprising businessman Atticus Concord? The answer to this hasn't changed since season one, so it's still at: apparently! Also, we learned the dogs' names: Lloyd and Bartimaeus.

[squirrel-stowaway]

I’m relistening to midst and it truly is so funny how stressed out weepe got about imelda blocking the post office traffic after perfectly handling atticus concord’s questions about his cabaret’s illegal operations

[ariadne-mouse]

Narrators in s1e2: Atticus Concord is ATTRACTIVE and also CREEPY. Did we mention the creepy part. This man is hot but he is distinctly fucked UP

[illusion-of-death]

Clearly Atticus and Meryl Concord’s last name had to be that specifically because it’s a type of grape jelly

[iiitsnotbase]

is 'weepe' atticus concord?

there was a tearror when he killed him so was there a strange switch??

*I AM ON PUBLIC RELEASE SCHEDUAL*

[elfietheespeon]

Before Season 3 comes out...

I might as well write the predictions/theories I had back in season 1. I doubt most of them will come true, but if nothing else, this will be a good reference point to look back on; see where my headspace was at, that sort of thing

-Imelda and Atticus were working in cahoots from the beginning

-Hieronymous Loxlee was responsible for the moon explosion

-The acquisition of Midst was/is for the purpose of expanding the Trust into the fold

-There is something sinister going on with Loxlee lights. The Trust is experimenting with ways to expand their control into the fold for a purpose yet unknown. (More Tearror weaponry, like the fold grenade back in s1e17?!!)

-The Trust has access/knowledge of the prophecy abilities of the fold (Supported in s2e19; Lark's mom was/is working for the Trust, and had even stronger fortune-telling powers) and are using it for some larger plot. (Possibly connected with the death of Max Loxlee)

-Before the end of the series, Imogen Loxlee will be assassinated

-Moc Weepe is related to Kozma Laszlo

-Saskia will become the new mayor of Midst (probably won't happen, but it SHOULD)

-The conversion rates of Valor were deliberately tampered with behind the scenes to prevent Phineas from breaking even (the media was sent, meaning it was supposed to happen); all in an effort for Hieronymous to get control of Phineas.

-Phineas has been crushing on Jonas Spahr for a really long time. By the end of the series, he will confess his feelings for Jonas. (I'm willing to make a blood sacrifice if it means they have a hug by the end of the series. They need it.)

[jestersloverre]

Alright guys, humour me for a little bit. So far on Midst, things have ended pretty badly for the people Moc Weepe has had it out for.

Atticus Concord never got to live his blackmail fantasy, and Kozma Lazlo (rip) went from girlboss to girlsauce.

Now, this looks pretty bad for our boy Jonas Spahr who Weepe has previously deemed a big important shiny man in fancy armour who would go down real fast in a fight for his life (paraphrased).

no spoilers beyond the public release please, ty!

[hoarding-stories]

Okokok, this episode has a Lot of that good good lore and there's a few pieces I started to put together

Obviously the big one is that the opalescent scarring used to be fold scarring before being rendered inert by the Mothers (are they the only ones that can do that? Are there others?)

This lends a good bit towards Weepe, whatever he went through it left him *completely covered* in fold scarring & having to have it treated by the Mothers. Which is (probably) where he was sending his blood vials to earlier in season 1 (is he still doing that now? If he's not will having no monitoring of his condition have horrifying consequences later?)

Also Lark mentioned the strain of tearror she uses for her glove she had to fix so that it would take down prey quietly and "not obliterate it". As soon as she said that I thought of the pile of goo Atticus Concord ended up as when Weepe hit him with his blood. Which. Doesn't sound very inert to me. So was the damage to Weepe/integration of the fold so intense that the Mothers were only able to contain it and prevent any outward physical mutations? Is Weepe really a walking tearror ecosystem and if so, what happens if he gets hurt??
