Unwritten Rules at Work

Photo by Aaron Burden Since birth, we have been guided by a set of social norms. Which effectively are unwritten rules that we live by. These unwritten rules guide how we live and determine how people react to us. In times gone by, most of these rules were called “good manners”. These would guide the behaviour of a lady or a gentleman. Unfortunately, some of these rules are no longer…

Showing my mother (an IT specialist) the Magnus protocol and watching the look of horror form on her face when she hears "Windows NT 4.0" and "bedrock that the whole system is based on, and it’s been at least fifteen years since anyone actually knew how it worked."

Laughing my ass off and saying "that's not even the horror part of the podcast"

Only to be met with "yes it is"

TMA Trevor would want TMAGP Trevor dead for being a posh prick. TMAGP gives me the impression that he'd want TMA Trevor dead for being homeless.

Listen to The Magnus Protocol, we have:

Samama Khalid, not yet killed by his curiousity because he is the main character

Alice Dyer, who is okay, trust her

Celia Ripley, a single mother with no secrets whatsoever

Colin Becher

Gwendolyn Bouchard, expertly handling her new externals liaison duties

And Lena Kelley, who has to somehow manage this shitshow

[clairebearsparkles]

I have Sam and Alice refs made for when I decide to draw more of them! I know gotta give Alice more stupid shirts, she would have so many. Also I love her, I love them both

TMP Stream Of Consciousness Theory

(Like, I'm forming it and I'm not sure where I'm headed here)

Spoilers All - TMP

So as I'm reading through a lot of Lena Post on here it's starting to strick at me. Her wording when she vaguely explained things to Gwen in EP 13, Futures.

Gwen asks if they're the bad guys.

Lena hesitates before answering "We are... Managing, the bad guys."

Unlike the The Magnus Institute they aren't collecting Statements, they're keeping track of them.

Lena doesn't see herself and her work as good, but a necessary evil.

This would make Lena NOT Jonah's Parallel, but Gertrude's.

To Gertrude, Michael was a necessary evil, but she hurt no more people than absolutely necessary.

Lena isn't willing to put her employees in unnecessary risk.

The Magnus Institute was destroyed and OIAR has something called The Magnus Protocol.

They're preventing the Dread Powers from taking hold. Be it Fear, Hunger, or Regret. They're making sure no one of them gets a real foothold into our world. And if one gets to close. Well, they have their last resort.

i need Alice to be like

"who do I ask for help???????? police can't help Sam, I can't tell Teddy about this.... who should i--"

and then she calls gwen. her only ally. someone who has firsthand experience with the archivist. "Gwen. things are bad. bad, bad. get here now."

Gwen and Alice team up to find/save Sam and Celia

Me listening to tmagp:

[red-archivist]

thinking about gwen who is so touchy and narky and defensive and at the same time, so so sooo desperate for someone to talk to about the Horrors

in ep 18, when alice and sam ask her what is going on, it takes a bit of prodding but when she does start talking, gwen is fairly straight-forward with them, telling them exactly what is going on as she understands it- but sam thinks it a joke so that conversation is nipped in the bud...

now in ep 23 as soon as celia asks after her and tries to offer help, her walls go immediately up; (esp i think bc sam is in the room) she will not engage with anyone approaching her with direct concern bc that has burned her before.

however, when Alice comes in and gwen says she's upset about breaking the mug, she doesn't call her out on the lie, instead she relates, shows indirect empathy, tells a silly story, and suddenly gwen is ready to talk again and lays it all out on the table, showing just how scared she is

idk she is just so so bad at being a person around people and she needs other people so badly bc she is losing her mind otherwise

This is probably not how their conversation went, but it’s how I remember it
