Omg I just realised I hadn't posted this tma piece that I spent way too long working on in June. I'm so dumb.

Full disclosure this clearly was just an excuse to draw the panopticon. As a criminologist, a special interest of mine has always been prison design. So me and the panopticon go way back haha. Even wrote a whole research paper on the design's failures lol. Also resulted in collecting a whole bunch of quotes that give major tma vibes so here's a couple.

"The Inspector was in fact all-seeing: his gaze extending beyond the limit of the visible into the invisible." (Bozovic, 1995)

'Upon seeing the panopticon plans Edmund Burke (philosopher) remarked "there's the keeper, the spider in the web."' (Hummelbarb, 1968)

Also if anyway is interested here is Jeremy Bentham's original design mock-up.

A panopticon is a prison built so that all the prisoners can be seen by the guard without being able to see the guard. The tower is the central part of the panopticon where the guard watches from, but the tower isn't the panopticon, the prison is. In tma s5 the tower is referred to as the panopticon, but the panopticon is the whole prison, not just the tower. The entire world is the panopticon, the tower is just the center of it.

The captain lives by the sword

And the captain loves by the sword

When the captain dies by the sword

He'll leave you trapped in the cockpit
