Staking my claim as a day one Gwendolyn Bouchard liker here’s some doodles I did in class because no one is drawing her
Perfect drowning material

It took me a minute to realize
What was happening
To my ears
This has become... relevant.
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!
This feels like a break from form. In this case we got someone explicitly feeding on fear and seeking more out, whereas others had someone drawn in, lured, without the fear being super explicit.
I don't know if Needles is exactly an avatar, but they seem like a vector of fear more than any other statement characters so far.
Also...no one at the OIAR was really scared of this guy who was deliberately trying to elicit fear. FASCINATING.
Sam's really out here, episode 4, already Magnusing the Protocols. Smh.
TMAGP I'm so thirsty
One drop of mercy, Mr. TMAGP, please
Praying for sweet gay rain that is .jmj
