need to relisten to MAG 173 (and im pretty sure i won't even find anything that i actually need) and Its like one of my least favourite episodes

not because of all the terrible things, horrors, fear, human sufferings and stuff, but because it makes me feel like a child of divorce (which i am)

"but complex healthy relationships" complex relationships my arse it makes me feel awfuuuuulllllll (doesn't mean it's bad tho, just to clarify)

Dear God, my stomach just dropped when Jon asked Martin what he thought happened to the children once the apocalypse happened, that hadn’t even crossed my mind. And the whole situation is just fucked up. There are children screaming in the background all the time, the avatar of the Dark is just a kid himself, the statement reads like a fucked up storybook, and there’s nothing Jon and Martin can do except keep going and hope that turning the world back can fix everything.

I’ve listened to 173 and 174, the Dark and the Vast episodes. Tensions are understandably high, but given their circumstances I’m pleasantly surprised with how well Martin and Jon seem to be communicating. I’m also pleasantly but cautiously surprised with how well Jon seems to be hanging onto himself, despite, as Helen pointed out, ultimate power and no consequences. Especially since he’s admitted that he likes the suffering he feeds off of here, and especially with the person who is supposed to be grounding him egging him on to murder.

I am, I suppose, waiting for the second impossibly vast shoe made of grotesquely tangled together people, to drop.

mag 173 - I was worried I was going to have to skip this episode, but it was tamer than it could have been

mag 174 - well, this was unsettling,,, until the second half. I was frankly so confused as to what the thing was supposed to be that it became not scary. like, it's a titan made of people?? I guess??

mag 175 - I think I now have a solid list of words I hate hearing Johnny narrate. bulb/bulbus. bulging. lump. sac. why does he say them like that.

mag 176 - OOOH DAISY GOT EM

[yumaisbored]

maybe i’m just built different but i absolutely would’ve smote Callum Brodie, kid was a dick.

[portuguesedisaster]

Ah yes, who would spend his apocalypse tormenting children?

Another child. Because of course it is. Because there's not enough grown ups running apocalypses.

[birdylion]

Oof the episode with the children's fears hits hard. Martin's question of "who would thrive on hurting children" ... yeah, the answer doesn't surprise me. Another child. A bully.

[echo-of-the-eye]

Purely because his name is Callum, when I first heard Callum Brodie I pictured him as Callum from the dragon prince. So now I picture him as a younger Callum, but with black hair and eyes

oooh, I love the concept

well, it's obviously awful, don't get me wrong

but to be fair, we tend to think of children as inherently good and pure

and as someone who was a victim of bullying K-12, I feel strangely validated by this?

children are egotistical by nature

and it's not that hard to twist that ego into something monstrous

like Martin, I too would've preferred to help them

but there's just no way to save everyone at this point

[libraryfag]

huh. that wasn't so bad, I actually really enjoyed this episode. much like mr spider it perfectly encapsulated the 'kids book' style of writing. its so clever how each fearscape has its own statement format, looking forward to hearing what the ones for the remaining powers are

What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck!

What the fuck

This one fucked me up, the children constantly screaming in the background, them describing the monsters and how they are going to kill them, Callum literally creating new monsters by just saying they are real and the childen fearing them actually make them real.

What the actual fuck

[the-great-kraken]

oh :) children are here :) that's.. fuckin great.. :)

[portuguesedisaster]

Uhm...were we in need to know this?
