Wait hang on, I just realized TMA is horror because you, the listener, are part of Beholding. You are the being beyond. You're literally part of the story because they all feel watched and listened, and you're the one doing the listening.
I have more thoughts on this but don't know how to articulate them
Podcast so good I finished it and am now having coughing fits

Poor little archival assistants, hired too young~
Jonathan Sims. The archivist. The bringer of the apocalypse and an avatar of the eye.
Found the merry go round in the london zoo thrilling. THRILLING.
I love this man.
New hc This is why Oliver Banks liked him so much
Jon doesn't want to die. he thinks he should die, which is a feeling that's followed him since he was eight. he goes through most seasons with the air of someone who fully believes they're about to take their rightful place in the grave, and he's terrified of it. there are some attempts in s4 where he tries to convince himself that he either wants to die or thinks he shouldn't, but I don't think any of it truly sticks. everything he's lived since he was eight has been with time bought by the death of someone else. and he's going to die, it just hasn't happened yet!
then the apocalypse happens, purely because he just hadn't died yet. he should have, but he didn't!
then he meets Annabelle Cane for the last time and learns that he was, in fact, never meant to die. at least not until he does everything the web planned for him.
jon must have been so good for the end
Mikaele Salesa is geniunely one of my favourite characters
So Salesa worked for motherfucking JURGEN LEITNER, saw a guy get eaten by a book and still thought, yeah I'm staying in this line of work but no books. INSANE BEHAVIOUR. And I think it somehow worked out for him, like how? My theory is that he was protected by the secret 15th fear, capitalism
Ceaseless watcher, get his ass
