Guess Therapy Really Helps You Find Yourself

T as in Troy?

Hmmmm…

Anyway, so about the latest episode…

My little theory is that Sam and Celia aren’t gonna find anything with Helen either. It’s a different world, and there’s 7 billion people. What’re the odds that the same people (without any prior knowledge cELIA) would be influenced or connected to cosmic powers twice over? I’m pretty sure Celia hasn’t quite realized this yet, or she’s hoping in spite of it. See, tmagp isn’t a direct sequel to tma, as much as we wish it was. I think Celia is trying to find answers from the people who knew the answers in the other world, because she’s hoping they might’ve crossed over like she did. All the people she’s suggested are those who she’s met. Basira? They worked together while trying to fix the world. Helen? Tried to eat her! Georgie? She was in her goddamned cult! Jon and Martin? Must I say anything? Gerry and Gertrude were found because they had an actual connection to the Magnus Institute and Sam and Celia found it. So maybe we’ll see Melanie King (I hope pls pls pls), but I really don’t think we’ll find too much more than that, at least from Celia.

Just don’t fall for the trap of assuming characters from tma will be involved.

On a scale from ‘Bone Apple Teeth’ (they’re just funky little giuys) to ‘The Blanket Never Did Anything’ (sobbing crying curled in the doggamn corner)

How would you rate the latest episode of TMagP?

If I had a nickel for every time Johnny Sims was involved in a story including trains and portals, I’d have two nickels

I’d also have two nickels for every time a character in his media died together as the world collapsed in on him.

Side note, Sam is so Eye-coded in this last episode. I know he started off kinda Webby, but now he really do be supplemental I’m lost in the tunnels. Maybe he and the Archivist will bond over a desire for knowledge? Or he’ll at least get some answers.

I will say as an avid DnD player, getting two Nat 1’s is a valid reason for the DM to try to kill you as hard as they can. They had nobody to blame but themselves

Here’s the thing, as happy as I am that Colin’s alive, it makes sense that he will probably die (or quit and refuse to reach out and share his knowledge) now that we have a piece of the puzzle. Of course, this could all be us seeing stuff when it isn’t there, and he’ll survive until the end. I don’t know though, I feel like he’s at home now because something happened and he figured it out. I think the ‘He’ from the episode is FR3-D1 or the head of the OIAR, and I think he might’ve hidden at home to avoid getting hunted down or framed (brutal pipe murder reference) or something.

Because he’s definitely figured something out. All that talk of alchemy in the episode, the symbols on the logo, and this.

“Not too much mercury or the world ends, not too much sulfur or we all go mad.”

That’s the spirit (mercury), body (salt), and soul (sulfur). Yes I am American and say sulfur. Unfortunately

My tiny little theory (tell me if it’s obvious) is that these all correspond to a specific catagory. Catagory 3 is the body, the objects like the dice or the stupid capitalist stonks game. Catagory 1 is the soul, the people who are the Externals.

I’ll admit I was in between on whether Cat 1 was mercury or sulfur, because maybe the Externals are more likely to kill or take over, which would end the world, it’s not a perfect theory, but I was convinced by the first search that came up when I googled the alchemy Tria Prima.

I’ve got the image attached at the bottom since I’m not enough good with Tumblr to know how to continue text under an image. Sorry

But what it says is that sulphur is the seat of emotions and desires, and that reminds me of two things: 1, the theory that the Fears have changed to desires, and 2, the idea that Avatars are less pure to their chosen Entity than objects, because emotions get in the way. Cat 2 is places, and I feel like those are the closest to actual Entities (keep in mind I’m using the Smirke sorting for fun and clarity, I believe in Gerry and his color theory). What also makes a bit of sense then is what Colin said about too much mercury ending the world, as the Fears coming into the world literally led to its end in TMA.

But if you’ll check the amount of each Catagory, I’m pretty sure 2 is the most common one. Maybe that’s why the OIAR has Externals, to prompt them to act when balance needs to be restored. Maybe the Magnus Institute was in on it, and Artifact Storage uses one of their items whenever the balance is too low. Maybe it’s like the rituals and there’s no need for a balance at all. Either way, we’re all gonna cook up some new theories now. Thanks for listening, and feel free to comment any theories that you have, because I’d love to talk with you guys!

Our weird uncle is a minister now?

Good for him!
