Yes! Jon Mentioned Survival Bias In TMA, Because All But A Few Statements Were Made By Those Who Survived

Thinking seriously about the taxonomy of goths

Straight up I'd kill and die for archivist alice

Like, at first all her spooky shit is a joke

Then life imitates art and she can actually destroy you

there's something inside you it's hard to explain

Oh, how much pain Jonny Sims has planned. I'm pretty pessimistic about Jon & Martin surviving "intact." Best case I can imagine, they've become something new - maybe a rare benevolent entity, even.

I like this interpretation! I'm thinking the Magnus Institute is not the problem. The problem is what left it - all those papers, gone.

Previously the statements were how the Eye fed, but the tape web of recorded statements was how the fears got exported to another world.

So if the statements escaped the Institute, maybe that's a Pandora's Box?

To be fair, Red canary also brought back a box 🧐

can't stop thinking about red canary.

Like it has to be a red herring+mine canary symbology combo. It's meant to send us on the wrong path. AND it's a serious warning. So the institute IS a genuine danger, but it's not the place to get answers? Do we interpret it as a message to the listeners or the characters?

IN THE HORRIBLE TIKTOK TEXT TO SPEECH VOICE

"hEre's how I lost my eye!!" 😌😌😌

so. we know that TMAGP is set in 2024. so far we have seen blog posts, forum posts, cctv, an e-mail. and we know that instagram live exists in universe.

How much time until we get a statement via tiktok storytime?

I love this scene but the whole time her jacket says:

PUNKY FISH

In the most "I'm the fun one" font

TMAGP 9 SPOILERS

I have a bad feeling Freddy is using the voices of Jon, Martin, and whoever else to goad Sam into returning to the Magnus Institute. And that Jon & Martin are, in fact, completely dead.

[id: ALICE: This is not something you go poking around in. Not if you want to keep your job… or your neck. SAM: (a little amused) Okay, okay! I get it. Consider me scared straight. "Consider me scared straight" is highlighted. end id]

[id: LENA: Now, while I understand your concerns, you need to understand that Colin has held the IT Manager position for some time without incident, and although he is somewhat… frustrated with his current assignment, he can request help from the central IT team at any time. I am certain that should he find his responsibilities unmanageable, he will request assistance. Or resign, of course. Either way, the problem will resolve itself. "Or resign, of course" is highlighted. end id]

[id: CELIA: Is there any way to look up specific files? ALICE: Like what? CELIA: Oh, I don’t know. Every case about… being buried alive, or meat, or… whatever. ALICE: Well, there’s a search bar, but it doesn’t actually do anything. You’d have to dig through them all manually. (suspicious) – Why do you ask? CELIA: Just figuring it all out. Ah well, I guess I’ll need to find Bigfoot on my own time. "Just figuring it all out" is highlighted. end id]

[id: GERTRUDE: I see. Well, I’m sorry, but I don’t think Gerry can help you – GERRY: (casually) Yeah, I barely remember any of it. "I don’t think Gerry can help you" is highlighted. end id]

[id: GERRY: Oh yeah, but I was pretty young. I remember filling in a bunch of forms and questionnaires, then some old men asking me questions about what books I liked to read, who did I look up to, that kind of thing. And then I left. SAM: (disappointed) That’s all? GERRY: Yeah, afraid so. Other than just sitting around with a bunch of other kids in a room that smelled like old books. "Yeah, afraid so" is highlighted. end id]

[id: CELIA: I’m trying to look into… Weird physics stuff: time travel, other dimensions, teleportation, all that good stuff. Freddy doesn’t really do searches, so you could keep an eye out and let me know if any come up in your cases? SAM: Uh, sounds a bit sci-fi compared to our usuals. What’s this for? (amused breath) You’re not doing research for that podcast you were on, are you? CELIA: (surprised) You know about that? SAM: I might have given you a quick Google. CELIA: Then… yeah. I’m doing a favor for Georgie. "yeah. I’m doing a favor for Georgie" is highlighted. end id]
