Seeing Patterns in Things That Aren’t There
Part 43
Severe Information Mismanagement
Or
Well, That’s All Right Then!
1. “Peter, please put down the gun!” - Marvin.
“I’m sorry!” - Peter
*MARK BLUM GETS FUCKING SHOT!*
Peter Tench ambushes the ASYNC researchers and tries explaining his situation to them, holding them at gunpoint with Mark’s shotgun.
Marvin and the others try to defuse the situation, but Mark tried calling for backup, and in the ensuing panic is shot by Peter, being gravely injured in the process.
*well that’s alright then!*
“What occurred was a gross misunderstanding that was the result of some severe information mismanagement.” - ASYNC Spokesperson.
- Kane Pixels’ Backrooms: Reunion (2022)
2. “I was dead tired. I just wanted it to be over. I’d had this dark place in my head for so long.”
- Alex Casey.
Alan Wake has an encounter with a manifestation of his fictional detective, Alex Casey, who mistakes him for the leader of a cult behind numerous murders and disappearances.
Alan tries to explain himself as Casey holds him at gunpoint. But in the confusion, he grabs the gun and accidentally shoots Casey, killing him in the process.
*oh well that’s alright then!!!*
- Alan Wake 2 (2023).
(Also RIP James McCaffrey)
3. “I’m sorry. But they’re coming for you. I have no choice.” - Jorj.
- Doctor Who: World Enough and Time (2017)
In a moment of terror once the patients have been summoned by the presence of a human, Jorj pulls out a blaster aimed at Bill Potts, and despite the Twelfth Doctor trying to defuse the situation, Jorj fires a shot and Bill is mortally wounded in the process.
Kind of speaks for itself.
*Oh, well that’s alright then!!!!!!!!!*
People getting hurt or killed due to misunderstandings borne of information mismanagement and panic, despite others trying to deescalate the situation.
It can be a very dangerous thing.
Obviously…
This one came to me the other night.
Make of this what you will.
Edit: It’s rare for me to find instances of parallels where the exact details line up almost completely. Such as this one.

Screaming from the roof tops Hannigram didn’t need to kiss it didn’t suit the way their relationship was built in the show! Common gestures of romantic intimacy weren’t their cup of tea! They killed a man together and went flying off the edge of a cliff! That was the most fuvked up, brutal, and beautiful declaration of love and forgiveness you’ve ever seen!
