…and my worst fear about TMAGP has been confirmed! Ah well, can’t say I’m surprised, hopefully the rest of the series is still good despite ruining the ending of TMA.

Not a huge fan of the "the web has been manipulating Jon with this whole grand plan in mind since he was a kid" thing. Honestly it just doesn't feel like the web's style? As Anabelle says, people forget how flexible webs are, and I always envision the web as, yes, manipulating people, but also doing a lot of assessing circumstances and people's personalities, knowing how that person will behave in [x] circumstance, and putting the right person in the right context. I simply don't think the web could have known Jon was the right person for the role of archivist + ending the world until much later. He's pretty much always been the right person to be an eye avatar, but a lot of what makes him the right person to be manipulated into getting all those marks is his specific reactions to the trauma of Mister Spider. And I honestly don't feel like he'd be even on the radar of the web's larger plans until several years after Mr Spider, once it was clear how he had reacted.

I know part of the horror is his entire life leading to this, and that is horrifying, but I feel like it's sort of undercut by it being harder to believe than the web starting to manipulate him later. And like. The way Jonah chose Jon showcases Jonah's intelligence and strategy and I think the web chosing Jon a bit later showcases its intelligence as well.

So... i just finished season 2 of tma, and i decided to continue the tradition of making a list of things i've figured out/ i suspect (here's the one i made after finishing season 1). Except this time i'm only putting the stuff i'm not sure about, because i know too much by now and just listing facts would be less fun.

So Leitner said Gertrude had 3 assistants. I think 2 of them were Michael and Gerry? Wait, does that make sense? Leitner said they all died and he also knew the Distortion's current name is Michael... idk.

In any case, both Michael and Gerry went through some horrible shit. I wonder if Gertrude "sacrificed" them both like Leitner did with his assistants...

Gerry seems to be dead. But i've also heard someone say that he... turned into a book?? Wtf? I think he also had a brain tumor or something like that, but i'm not sure if that killed him. I wonder if it had anything to do with Michael becoming the Distortion...

I'm pretty sure the first episode of season 3 is where we get the story of Jon's childhood trauma related to spiders. I'm not ready.

I think Melanie and someone else accidentally start a cult?? Whatever that means?

There are multiple ships where i don't know if they're canon or just fanon/ a fandom inside joke. Are Elias and Peter Lukas really divorced multiple times?? Is Doorkeay canon in any way? (I really hope it is, i already ship them although them interacting hasn't even been mentioned in canon so far)

I heard there will be a cat :D

On the subject of animals, there will also be something about cows? (I assume it's one of those precious happy moments that turn sad in retrospect, maybe cows are also mentioned when the world is ending)

Triangle ask game: Have you considered giving in? Embracing it? It wouldn't hurt if you would choose to welcome it. After all, you made the choice to serve The Eye for a reason. Why be disgusted by that which gives you life?

Just because I made that decision doesn’t mean I agree with it. I didn’t know the grave I was digging for myself at the time, and I don’t plan on digging it again.

I don’t give a damn if I starve anymore, because at the moment I have people who trust me. If starving means I can be looked at with something other than disgust, then I can live with it. I may not understand why they still trust me, but I won’t lose them.

9/10.

So that finale huh?

As a non-Archives listener, this is what I’ve gathered.

Archives Fandom, aggressively shaking and sobbing: What are you doing in my house?!? What are you doing in my house?!?

Did y’all know I love TMA too?? I’ve had the Magnus Protocol brainworms since listening to it earlier so here’s my (very subject to change) designs for Alice and Sam until the fandom agrees on something 🫡

Bonus ‘Chester’ and ‘Norris’ doodle in the corner 👁️
