#pondering tmp/tma

Me, trying to pay attention to the latest tmp episode: 🤔

My brain, the entire time: "ah, yes, violince"

[drinker-of-paint]

The only difference in his appearance is his hair is no longer an awful dye job because he didn't have to figure it out all by himself 💜

Gertrude pretends to be indifferent but also spends a decent time on Google researching brands and instructions and stuff then insists she does it bc "no grandson of mine is walking around with a patchy monstrosity"

drew like a dark, fucked up version of gerry from the magnus protocol haha. just a glimpse into my dark reality

Further Magnus Protocol ponderings: I don’t think the Too Many Eyed thing that talks in static is a form of Jon, TMA universe or TMP universe. It was trapped down underneath the archives. Where all the former Archivists were wandering around at the end of TMA. Think it might be one of the Cursed To Never Die former Archivists that got sucked bodily into the new dimension.

Bouncing around the ol brain cell in the chat

(Also forgot to mention, maybe it was them that sent Alice the warning abt sam trying to get into those files too like a 'hey uhh dont let him do that that'd be bad')

Thought of the day:

"Hello jon. Apologies for the deception but I rather wanted to be sure you kept reading" is like the rick roll of the tma fandom

Eye roll?

This is nothing but ever since the second half of ep 1 my brain has latched onto username "Badgrav" character.

I'm not saying I think they'll be important because there's literally no reason to think that other than maybe that they were interested in the institute,

I just like em.

I hope they end up being something purely because they scratch my brain

Sorry I've been posting so many ramblings I promised myself I wouldn't clog up my tumblr with not art stuff but here we are

If people would like, I can start being more attentive about rbing my doodles and drawings to my art exclusive account, @drinkerofpaint ?

I had a dream last night that they had released a TMA tv series and for some reason we were watching the last episode in maths class (I haven't done a maths class in 10 years)

at the end they teased the next season being protocol with a preview clip of alice and it panned up to reveal that she's been a particularly detailed mannequin this whole time and it was just never mentioned in the podcast and everyone lost their mind

[drinker-of-paint]

I wonder if you could download jmart to a floppy disk and make copies

Just some thoughts from listening to the first 2 eps for the Magnus protocol because brain go brrrrr

(Except I'm an idiot so any theories I have will be batshit and based on very little)

So for character alignments heres what I'm getting vibes wise

Alice: vast or spiral, haven'tquite pinned down which, maybe I'm biased but I'm leaning towards vast

Sam: eye?

Gwen: definitely eye and I weirdly like her

Colin: really not sure vaguely eye from something I cant place but mans definitely got some shit going on

And the many thoughts I felt the overwhelming need to spam In the comments if anyone's interested:

-Why do I feel like him ticking that response box is gonna be a whole thing

Tbh I'm here listening to literally everything they say being like "hm that sounds like foreshadowing" so I'm just gonna tell my brain to fuckin unclench and enjoy the ride

-Ok brain wont unclench and chill but hearing the readout im reminded I had a thought a while ago about the episode in tma with the numbers station and how when martin read the numbers out it reminded me of the voice he does when he impersonates Jon so like....

this is pretty baseless and I might look batshit crazy if this is nothing (I am feral and an idiot) but my original thought was some weird time fuckery of post 200 version of Jon subconsciously trying send a message out, but now I'm wondering If whatever amount of sentience they have their computer versions are trying to reach out

I mean obviously but if they start reading out numbers my brain is going to start making a noise like a struggling computers ventilation fan

-We thinking that the bits that sound like it's being played through a security camera are some eye avatar watching em? (Had to stop myself saying Jon because my brainrot is making me think wishfully but if our lads are only talking through technology it's not too far a shot right?)

-Haha red canary in the mine shaft

-Also "badgrav" sounds like a vast avatars username

-Really enjoyed the reddit forum one. I think ik really gonna like the less strict format for the not statements. Incidents? Is that what they're called?

-Ok fuck just call out my drawing process

More tmp things I want to remember I thought

There has to be some history between alice and gwen

IS someone making sam work there

What happened with sam and the institute? Is THAT why he feels hes being made to?

Alice got him the job, but he seemed thankful for that

I think colin might be batshit

[drinker-of-paint]

POV you have TMA/TMP brainrot but are also dumb and your AuDHD decided today your brain is in emergency power reserve mode

So you spam the chat with voice notes trying to string together a single thought and realise it makes no sense the minute you say it 🤣

[drinker-of-paint]

Another thought that should probably have been obvious

-Wait what if jmart are doing a thing like the web was (I think) by marking the not statements (incidents?) That are currently important for them to know, or trying to tell them something that is relevant to both In the first episode. Remember how important the table from episode 5 turned out in tma? Remember how they introduced breekon and hope without even giving them in-statement dialogue in like episode 2 and we had no idea they would be a thing?

Or maybe this is tmps way of being like 'these are the true ones' like some only working on tape recorder

Me attempting to form a coherent theory

(Vague spoilers in that it's based off of a few little moments in tmp ep 1/2)

Two ideas

When colin said "I know your watching blah blah I know your real last name"

I'm either thinking gwen is already an eye avatar and its whatever's going on with her name

OR

Do we think hes talking about whatsername being Magnus?

Edit: scratch that apparently I completely imagined him saying something about a last name he was probably talking to the computer lads

Spoilers for episode 4

Also I couldn't quite tell, was that the voice of "agustus" in the clip gwen found at the end?

Because if it is,,,, CAN OUR BOYS EXIT THE COMPUTER TOO??

Like from a narrative perspective I dont think they CAN have Jon and Martin able to come In too soon, because surely they could just tell our new cast exactly what's going on and about the entities and I just don't think that will happen unless they have something different In mind for plot progression

Then again if its true that they sent that message to alice and showed gwen the clip maybe they are slowly gaining influence on the tech and that's how they're going to handle progressively feeding clues to the characters.

Especially if they are actually hiding from colin for some reason and are trying to stick to a subtlety level of 'these computers may be supernaturally weird' without implying too much of "this computer is are definitely sentient"
