Web!Martin feels like something that could have happened if things happened slightly different and he was pushed towards the web rather than the lonely. His manipulative behaviour is a trama response but everything he did to become lonely allined kinda felt like a trama response too. In saying that, I think if martin was going to be truly web allined he would have been happy about the fact everyone underestimates him. Way easier to manipulate people if everyone thinks you're incapable of thinking up schemes youself and you're just doing everything your partner wants you to do.

TMP ep 15 ‘drowned victom’ and TMA ep 15 lost johns cave story of maura popham recounting the disappearance of her sister elena… cave diving. but im trying to not think to hard about theories because i want to listen and be shocked by future events (i say as im watching a theory video)

Ha! Great work.

Dude might be the only man present here helping us all through difficult times (hiatus)

Couldn't these "benevolent entities" simply be Jon, Martin, and Jonah? If they got dragged into this world through the hole at hilltop house _along_ with the nightmares (as at least some essence of them seems to) they would likely come through as something similar to the nightmares, probably intimately entwined with them, but appearing for all intents and purposes as their "benevolent" counterpart to the inhabitants of this world 🤔

Me personally I blame Jack Magnet

I love c!techno (and c!Bedrock duo) but i will forever be a c!Tommyinnit apologist 😔 /lh Great video!! (I actually stopped watching the dsmp cause Techno died soo :/ )

Regarding episode 17 and the universe hopping, its worth noting the guy ended up in Oxford which is where Hilltop Road is. Assuming he stayed in relatively the same location when travelling universes (we know universes can have different buildings and such since the cleaner lady who got pulled into the TMA universe mentions not being able to find her favourite coffee shop), his therapist was located somewhere in Oxford as well. We also know that the Web spent years prying open the Crack in Reality until it became a giant hole, a "gaping wound in reality" as Anabel put it. Maybe since then its split into several Cracks that branch out from it, causing people who are in Oxford to just fall through randomly

I do agree that some of the Cases are missing the atmosphere of TMA but I understand that it must be hard for the writers to top TMA. Especially since the vast majority of the audience consists of TMA veterans who are going to be laser focussed on dissecting each episode for clues, so the team has to try and make the Cases compelling enough that they distract us from our conspiracy theorising. I also have a personal theory that Freddy is the OIAR's attempt at creating a digital/artificial Archivist. It seems to have plenty of Eye-related powers, including lie detection and seeing/knowing things it shouldn't (like how its able to access devices it shouldn't). It's tendency to give Cases similar to what is being said around it also reminds me of how Jon described his Knowing power: that just being around certain things, people or ideas can lead to him Knowing something related to them. Plus characters have mentioned that if you file a Case with the wrong code you get a notification of your mistake, but I don't think anyone has said WHO notifies them. I think its Freddy itself, using its powers to Know if the Case has been given the correct code like how Jon would summarise Statements before he even read them: he just Knew what they were about. Jumping off that, I think its notable that the Cases and spooky stuff is happening on digital platforms: CCTV, computers, phones etc when previously the Statements couldn't be stored digitally. I think because the Web is no longer using the Tapes its not preventing stuff from being stored digitally. It's also worth pointing out that the Drowned Victim (who seems to be a Vast victim instead of Buried since they talk about endlessly sinking into the ocean but never reaching the sea floor, very Vast-coded) was speaking in a very similar manner to Jon during the apocalypse. That plus DV's detachment from reality reminds me a lot of the victims trapped inside Domains.

Regarding Sam's high empathy score, he also had one of the highest 'destructive obedience' scores, as measured by a test where someone begs you to stop giving them (fake) electric shocks. That raises another branch of questions about what the Institute wanted with these kids.

What’s on the sticky note board,

I have a hard time understanding what’s going on in the episodes themselves because of the echoey/distorted audio so I really appreciate your videos that break everything down.

"Did Celia kill her double" Oh gosh it's night vale again Celia even sounds similar to Cecil

comment

Yes!!! I have been waiting for this video keep checking the channel! Have loved your magnus content so far!

Cheshire is pronounced chesher shire is on'y pronounced as you did on its own, when part of a name it's more of a sher or sheer

Lisa in p2, judging from a lot of her demon convos is probably bi too btw!

Your videos help me make sense of this podcast omg thank you so much- Im a firm believer that Agnes will come back because if Gerry AND Gertrude can come back, so can Agnes (im delusional)

I really love these videos because i am absolutely terrible at theorizing about literally anything on my own, so this sort of video is honestly perfect to help my immersion <3

My theory is that Sam and Alice and Celia will kiss eachother on their cheeks in triangle formation

(e15) heard someone say that the victim could be from mag 195? bc that was like the infinite drowning domain so

I thank you a million times for getting us through this hiatus <3

I want to pitch the idea that ERROR isn't killing anyone yet but it could be what's causing people to give thise post-mortem statements for whatever reason. 33:30 this theme works as both a continuation of The Eye and The Extinction. Dekker hypothesizes the Exinction to not just be the fear of going extinct but of catastrophic change. As he says in MAG 134, “Time of Revelation,” “But now the fear is not of a rapture or a revelation. It is of catastrophic change. Mankind will warp the world so much it kills us all, and leaves only a thousand years of plastic behind. Technology will strip us of what it means to be human, and leave us something alien and cold. We will press a button that in a moment will destroy everything we have ever been. Animals are witnessing the end of their entire species within a single generation.” So the idea of advancing technology that makes it easier and easier to observe people could fit in line with both The Eye and The Extinction with the fear of surveillance and change. But maybe I'm over thinking it.

If Celia had killed (or came into contact with) her doppelganger in this universe at all she would know her real name and not use Celia anymore What I think happened to her is that she was already pregnant when the eyepocalypse happened and she forgot, the same way she forgot her name and everything else about her life or maybe it was too early for her to know she was pregnant I think she only found out about the baby after she jumped universes and that's why she keeps teleporting close to where the universes meet but Jack stays in his bed (crib?) Celia belongs to the original universe, she is an interdimesional inmigrant but Jack was born here I believe somewhere in this universe there a Lynne Hammond who knows who the father of her child is, maybe she is still in a relationship with said father amd her baby is probably not called Jack Also notice how sudden Sam's laugh was when talking to Gwen, he started laughing in what seem like the middle of her sentence and it sounded kind of forced, like something was compelling him to laugh Remember how the people Mr. bonzo ate alive were laughing uncontrollably? And how the only one who survived didn't? Sam laughed at Gwen, Alice (also there) didn't

wow crab jumpscare

Still love your videos! I’m so excited to see where the story is going. My theory of Inksoul being a nascent Extinction avatar is pretty much dead in the water but I can’t wait to see what happens next

Thank you I am so starved for TMP content ❤

Can’t believe the writers called you out personally for the cork board and string theories

I was not excepting the isaac newton creating the fruit of knowledge and feeding it to a dog than in turn turned into a tree bit kckgcksgkacgk also I liked your checker flannel at the beginning

Omg yes been waiting for this! The hiatus from RQ is giving serious lonely vibes glad to consume some more magnus content!

For TMAGP10/15/TMA130, why is Lucia Wright being called Error? What is the story behind that? I think I missed something lol Edit: ok I found the introducing Error's voice actor in the cast list and what Error actually does in TMAGP 10, but is it just a connection between the TMA episode and the TMAGP episode through the voice actor or does Lucia Wright have something to do with the Institute?

Thank u for making these videos!! so fun and helpful

Agnes can't still win Because she's already won Our hearts Not much more tbh

Thanks so much for this video, you’re an absolute trooper. A soldier in the trenches honestly. Also are you Dutch by any chance? 🤔

Im so excited to see what the next ten episodes reveal with so much mystery going around!

I agree with you that the format of Personal Screening takes away from it making me not like it as much, as well as Anti Social but I still like anti social alot :P

Oh yeah also the dude from 13 was called Darren just like in episode 17 were Darien was sort of universse hopping

YIPPEE finally i can understand whats going on again

Woooooooo, I have been looking forward to this for a while

I love your enthusiasm and vibe in these videos. I'm so excited to hear what you have to say about episode 11-20!

Great video! Unrelated, but your hair color is stunning 🤩

I just remembered that in the magnus archives its said that tape recorder are still digital but just really low tech, which is why the computers are so low tech!

mcyts and the fandom have always been a huge part of my life and it's really cool to see people talk about it and share their experiences with it, the dedication and love for these smps and the unique sense of community they bring are something new and exciting and im glad that they are being documented in some way

I'm here! I finished and caught up on Protocol this morning. I listened to your ARG part and now I'm ready to join this lol. Thank you

It was a bad idea to try to listen to this at 3:30 in the morning... while crocheting granny squares that each have a symbol for all 14 + The Extinction fears... I've caught up on both The Magnus Archives and The Magnus Protocol in about three months, and I'm currently relistening to The Magnus Archives right now, so I am still processing, lol. Anyway, here are some of my thoughts just because I need to write them out, and I'd like someone to read them. - I thought we already knew that Sam and Gerry were a part of the special kids program at the Institute - It's weird that the computer sequence at the beginning of the trailer mentioned errors for the "master" and the "slave" while correcting the errors as "undefined" and "none." Let's delve into the mystery of Bonzo. Can we collectively narrow down his nature? Is he a human, a creature, an avatar, or something else entirely? I'd love to hear your theories. Considering this is an AU of TMA, do we know anything about the fate of Jon, Martin, and the others who seemingly ceased to exist with the ending of TMA? Did they universe jump, are they deceased, or is there another explanation? I'm eager to hear your ideas. - I've seen some theories about a 16th fear, The Simulation, being a thing. Is this entire AU kinda a starting point for this new fear, or is another new fear coming to be? Ik that The Extinction is growing in this universe, but does that leave room for another fear to show up? - What could the Bonzo bucks relate to or symbolize? Are they just a joke from the creators? - Is the name Freddy a funny FNAF reference or can we connect it to a person/place/thing that existed at some point? Or am I overthinking this? - Does anyone know what the code in the trailer with the red screen and Wingdings translates to? Also, there seem to be some kind of symbols in the OIAR crest, so do those mean anything? What does the message in the logo translate to? I feel like that one is in Latin. - When did Agnes kick the bucket? I totally missed when that happened. - Who is the third voice that reads out statements on the computer? - How does Gertrude fit into all this? She seems important enough to be with Gerry while Sam and Alice talk to him, so surely she is supposed to play another important role. I'm going to bed now, so I'll update this later if I have any more points or questions. I'd love to hear all of your thoughts, and I welcome any/all answers to my questions! Btw I made an animation of A Guest for Mr. Spider on my channel if anyone wants to watch it :)

I think the bodies that keep talking are ppl Jon is feeding on to get him more strength to get out???

I think this universe is going full-on alchemy as the basis of their mythology. I think the Fear entities are there but manifested differently.

Colin gona ether try to burn down the OIAR or appear as a future Case

The very very end startled me so much ngl Also thanks for this, now my mcyt phase is coming back a bit :)
