my bff @sillybillybillysilly said this song reminds her of sasha's untimely demise and i am nothing if not autistic so i compiled some material for comparison

Early Sunsets Over Monroeville by My Chemical Romance // MAG79 // MAG78 // MAG47 // MAG48 // MAG76 x2 // MAG68 // MAG80 // MAG 79

I know this is a whole new dimension with (possibly) a whole new Fears system. However, I am still going to label each episode as Fears that we already know. Just for the sake of simplicity and fun.

That being said, I believe the incident in TMAGP 8 Running on Empty can be labelled as not just The Lonely, but also The Extinction.

To start with, the victim mentioned going through a divorce and losing a majority of his friendships before the incident took place, which would make him a perfect target for The Lonely already. The gradual decrease of visitors at Forton, the cloned "impressions of people," and the droning sound of wordless conversation are all obvious signs of The Lonely. So much so that it almost sounded like a direct repeat of Andrea Nunis' experience in MAG48 Lost in the Crowd.

The rest of the incident speaks to me as The Extinction. It would make sense as to why Norris (or Martin) is the one narrating this one, considering all the research he was doing on The Extinction in season 4. Not to mention his strong ties to The Lonely.

There aren't many statements about The Extinction to draw from in TMA, but a good chunk of them, including MAG134 Time of Revelation featured distorted, abandoned landscapes or structures, and lapses in time or time travel.

But the "hungry architecture" sounds new. I don't think it has anything to do with Smirke's 14. It could be a new part of The Extinction. If this is the universe the Fears were sent to, then it's possible that The Extinction was brought along with them. While it may not have manifested fully and still requires the help of other Fears to feed, it definitely would have grown stronger during the eyepocalypse in TMA season 5.

Just a thought. In conclusion, the incident in TMAGP 8 Running on Empty was caused by The Lonely and The Extinction.

Lost in The Crowd

— marked ? is ethan one of these 'entities'

— jon you dumb fuck you trust sasha but not martin ?

— JON WHAT THE FUCK

elias: im worried about you jon :|

jon: he's trying to murder me.

— did i miss something i dont see how he could be gerard keay ?

ok i feel like the meme 'honey you've got a big storm coming' seems fitting right now why is jon so fixated on elias and martin and nOT SASHA HE'S LITERALLY BEEN WARNED ??

i liked this episode alot though if felt very uncomfortable.. i wonder if this fear of abandonment / not knowing will come back..

Statement ends.

- xaphan.

[faranae]

Please tell me I’m not the only one losing my absolute shit at the idea of Gerard in khakis and a shitty hawaiian shirt on vacation looking at this poor entity-marked tourist like they’re a lost kitten. 

Gerard motherfucking Keay. The goth-ass book-burning murderhobo who desperately needs a nap. 

On holiday. 

I am losing my absolute mind. 

[thevoidcannotbefilled]

Relistening to MAG 48: Lost in the Crowd and the statement giver is describing Gerry and-

HE’S WEARING A BRIGHT SHIRT. GERRY IS JUST ON VACATION LIVING HIS BEST LIFE WITH HIS GOTH HAIR AND BRIGHT SHIRT BEING ANNOYED AT THIS RANDOM WOMAN WHO GOT MARKED ON HIS VACATION

I love him so much;;;;

Is there any fan art of bright shirt Gerry trying to enjoy his vacation, please I beg of you-

[theroswellcrashsite]

let him holiday

[charlemane]

finally dyed my hair black like a real goff, so here’s a quick closet cosplay of everyone’s favorite competent corpse

[icewatrr]

love him my goth king- would kill a man just to tell him that he deserves the world <3

[Image ID: the image depicts a traditional sketch of Gerard Keay as described in Mag48- Lost in the Crowd. He is wearing a loose-fitting short-sleeved button up with a fishnet shirt underneath. He is also wearing a pair of ripped/patched black jeans along with a belt and wallet chain. He is crossing his arms, his expression annoyed and tired, the speech bubble above his head says “I’m not in the business of helping strays.”]

also no eye tattoos bc i hc that he doesn’t have them yet at the time Mag48 occurred

[blazing-spectre]

Some MAG48 Gerry. Pls just let him have his holiday in peace

[otacringe]

kinda curious as to whether the mag48 girl was marked by the vast or the lonely, vast seems more likely but idk
