TMAGP's Liminal Spaces So Far (EP 7 Spoilers):

TMAGP's liminal spaces so far (EP 7 spoilers):

1. The Graveyard, the Magnus Institute

2. In5oul's studio

3. The Garden

4. N/A? Perhaps where the protagonist met the merchant

5. The Theater

6. N/A? Does an alley count? Does a call station count?

7. Hill Top

I'm calling them liminal bc they're described only at certain times of day (middle of the night for the graveyard) or in terms that make their entrances and exits, as well as the passage of time within them, unclear (like the tattoo studio and the garden). The theater preserved from childhood memories, yet staffed with only one employee, the Magnus Institute where doors are all open while it lies abandoned, etc., feel solidly liminal to me.

Hill Top is mainly there because of, y'know, but I do think the events of 7 make it a space with unclear limits and volume. It would be ironic if it has nothing to do with Hill Top Road.

I feel like the OIAR office is liminal (between sunset and sunrise, for one thing). The sheer vibes off that place!

Evil wish fulfillment, a la monkey's paw

Honestly “Desires” might not entirely be it. I think it may be sort of a “Careful what you wish for”

“I just wanted to make people laugh” okay well nightmare clown

“I wanted to play the role of the mysterious stranger” okay. Truck crash

“I wanted to prove my thesis.” How about such an intimate experience with it that you will never be the same

It’s like these people are experiencing the consequences of obsession in real time dialed up to 11

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.

Yes! Jon mentioned survival bias in TMA, because all but a few statements were made by those who survived the Horrors long enough to visit the Institute. But it seems like more of the characters here did not survive.

Thinking about how a lot of theorizing about the Magnus protocols has been considering tma statements as about fear whereas tmagp statements are about desires BUT I’m wondering if this is more about like… selection bias?

Think about it- the Magnus archives collected statements from people who volunteered - people who were frightened and then heard of an archive that collects spooky statements. whereas the OIAR system scours the internet so it’s not biased by who was scared enough to go to the Archives.
