arrested for being too silly ‼️‼️

(you cannot tell me that Jonathan “allows law breaking as long as it’s for follow up” “supplemental: i broke into gertrude’s flat” “was escorted home by police three times at the age of eight” Sims would not be Ken)

(Reactions and Theories)

Pre-Case (Sam/Alice chat):

I'm glad Sam and Alice are finally communicating! Sam explained to Alice how he feels like she is overbearing, especially when worrying about Sam. So many problems could be solved with communication, and I'm glad they're getting along again.

Also, Celia is asking Sam to reassure Alice was so cute.

Case:

This case disgusted me, I was nauseous the entire time. I don't think a case or statement has affected me that much, ever. I hated it, but that's the goal of horror, so I'm not upset about it, lol.

It definitely reads Corruption, but maybe with Web in it as well? I don't have many notes about this case because, well, I hate thinking about the case lol.

Overall, I think the Hungry Man Grill works similar to the Distortion's Hallways or Hilltop Road in TMA as a certified location for the fears to feed.

It could also be a breeding place for Avatars. The hunger that Harte felt was definitely unnatural for their situation. Perhaps it wasn't a human hunger at all - perhaps it was the hunger for fear. Maybe the people that escape this place are meant to Become, while the rest are used as feeding.

(I might add on to this later, once I've processed everything, but IDK)

Post- Case -

Colin:

Woo! He's back and alive!

He reminds me of S2 Jonathan "Supplemental - I broke into Gertrude's Flat" Sims here. He just wants to save everyone, like he said, and he believes FR3D1 is the one causing everything (the fears, the externals, [Error], ect), and therefore, it must be destroyed. It's odd to me, though, that he didn't go directly to the servers, FR3D1's main system, and instead targeted the computers. If he really wanted to destroy FR3D1, why go to the extension instead of the head?

There are two reasons he could have done this:

1. (The most likely imo) - He wanted to protect the others. By destroying all the computers first (and probably their phones/other technology), he could safely explain what was going on and then destroy the server. If Alice believed him, it would satisfy that small part in him that's questioning if he's just crazy. I pinpoint Alice here because we know she's much closer to Colin than Sam. Therefore, if she believed her, it would be more reassurance for him than if Sam believed him. Furthermore, if he destroyed their computers, he could, in theory, destroy any influence Fr3D1 has over them.

2. He was compelled to, in order to minimize damage. Colin was compelled by someone ( who could've been Fr3D1 (I'm pretty sure it's an entity of some kind itself), Lena (while she did seem surprised about Colin, she didn't seem too worried about the servers, only the initial computers), Jon/Martin/Jonah (who I'm theorizing are trapped in the computer, and thus, could manipulate the systems (as we've seen with cases popping up for specific people) and possibly outside figures close to the system via the compute), [Error], or some other force we have not met yet). If the damage Colin did was minimized, it would dave Fr3D1 and the overall function of the OIAR.

Group Chat:

Lena speaking to the group with a tired mother tone was very funny to me; I love the interactions in this series so much!

I'm glad people are worried for Colin - thank you, Alice and Sam (although, arguably, Sam is more worried about the information Colin provided than Colin himself, which is very Web vibes).

"I thought he might hurt Alice" - awww

Gwen seems to be agreeing with Lena, a lot, which is kinda put of character for her - I wonder what her plan is...

"While I understand your concerns [Sam], there is no way we can realistically act upon them." Lena's higher-ups have something to do with this, don't they? I wonder if Lena is trying to protect Sam by shutting down his worries. Maybe she was doing the same with Colin?

The server is essential for the OIAR? I wonder if she means more than just cases? Perhaps it serves as a way to find future Externals (like INK5OUL and [Error]). Maybe it also serves as a way to keep tabs on Lena?

Celia:

Celia is in Oxford again, and her teleporting/sleepwalking seems to be getting more and more frequent. I've been wondering for a while - why now? Why would she go looking for everyone (besides Georgie) now, when she had time to do it before?

Maybe it's because her "late-night travels" to Oxford are getting more and more frequent (as supproted by her thoughts at the end of the episode and Lena being concerned about her absences affecting her work). Perhaps she thought she had more time, but now- now, "her self" is rejecting being in this new universe and is taking her to the portal to go back. She can't stay here long because eventually, she will be pushed back to somewhere (maybe not even her home universe).

I called "her self" because I'm not quite sure if I should describe it as a soul or her unconscious or something else, but with the themes of self in many cases, it seems fitting to call it "her self."

(Sorry for the tangent!/gen)

I loved the character interactions in this episode! Very fun stuff. Although the case disgusted me completely, it was really good.

[shamelessly-lives]

I think it would be hella funny if s1 Tim Sasha and Martin got to hear the s2 supplements with near to no context.

"I broke into Gertrude’s flat."

Bro w h a t 💀

This bitch is so funny frfr

[the-game-spirit]

"Supplemental: I broke into Gertrude's flat." will genuinely never not be funny

[m0ther-of-p3arl]

"Supplemental : I broke into Gertrude's flat."

JONATHAN SIMSSS WHO COULD NOT LOVE THAT LITTLE RAT MAN

[a-mag-a-day]

MAG 54 - in the kitchen baking. I think it was apple bread pudding…

I find taxidermy very interesting btw. I know it's macabre, but it's art nonetheless and I have a thing for that kind of weird.

A friend of mine is a taxman! He checks if companies don't screw up the taxes for their employees though.

"The stuffed tiger in the window was so faded by the sun that I had to do a double-take to check it wasn’t a lion, so faint with the stripes." - Is the tiger finished yet…?^^ (throwback to MAG 44)

"I was just about to make my excuses and go when the bell rang out at the front of the shop, and a pair of obnoxious Cockney voices started to call out for Daniel." - I honestly don't know why but I love Breekon & Hope so much! I'm always happy when they turn up.

"I couldn’t make out any details but it was pale and swayed ever so slightly from side to side." - And our buddy the Anglerfish!

"However, given the events detailed here, I had some very serious reservations about sending anyone to investigate." - Oh, Jon learned from Martin's encounter with Prentiss it seems.

"I may not entirely trust my assistants but I won’t lose them." - T__T

"Eventually Sasha volunteered." - Honestly, I imagine the scene like this. Not!Sasha entering the shop. Daniel Rawlings walking up to greet her, but they just stand face-to-face, staring each other in the eye and not saying a word, not moving a muscle. Minutes pass and nothing happens. Eventually a possible customer walks in, sees the two of them and immediately walks out again. After about an hour or so finally Not!Sasha just says "Ok, thank you", snaps a photo of Daniel and walks back to the Institute XD

"Supplemental. I broke into Gertrude’s flat." - LMAO

"It wasn’t easy and the window meant that I didn’t get a lot of time before I heard sirens but I think I got away with it." - Did… did he seriously smash a window?

"anytime a person’s face was featured on the cover, their eyes had been cut out and very carefully removed." - I love that this kind of lore was already established at this point. And then she teamed up with Gerry Eye-tattoos-everywhere Keay!

mild magnus archives spoilers

I'm listening to The Magnus Archives and I'm around episode 60 right now and I just wanted to say it's so funny to me how erratic Jon has gotten after Gertrude's body was found. I mean I understand why but it's killing me the way he suspects absolutely everyone and is breaking into people's houses and shit. He needs to take a xanax I think

"Supplemental. I broke into Gertrude's flat" bro?? then get the hell out of there
