TMA general update:

Okay so I’ve finished season 2 and now I’m almost done season 3, so we’ve got a lot to cover.

There have been so many death flags for Tim, even before he asked Elias to kill him :((( Finding out about Sasha really broke him, and then we find out The Stranger took his brother from him too. I have a feeling he will not survive the third season, rip. I’m putting off listening to the ‘Masquerade’ episode cause my guess is that’s when he’ll die, or something worse will happen to him while they’re trying to stop The Unknowing.

Jon’s character development has been truly masterful. He’s gone from a paranoid wreck to an avatar getting used to his burgeoning powers, I’m proud of him tbh, even though he’s literally becoming a monster. I like the new style in S3 where Jon travels around collecting statements and Martin reads more back at the Institute. The reappearing characters are great to see too! MAG111 was so interesting, we finally got an explanation and names for ‘The 14’ entities that have been behind all the spooks and abominations! And of course we met Gerry, another assistant Gertrude fed to the horrors without hesitation. Michael’s statement in MAG101 was also a big piece of lore, considering he’s a main antagonist/meddler. Finding out about the Impossible Altar, the Watcher’s Crown, (Eye-pocalypse?) and the other rituals was so exciting! I sense the overarching plot at work here…

Elias finally getting his hands dirty with some good old-fashioned pipe murder for the S2 finale was something else. He’s certainly been showing his true character in S3, snarky and devious but also has powers and knows how to use them. And ya’know, I thought it was fanon, but from the two Peter Lukas visits I’ve listened to so far, they really do act like an old married (for convenience) couple. Speaking of, the second time he showed up, Martin got transported to The Lonely when Peter Lukas talked to him!! Not his first time in an entity’s realm/domain, and luckily not his first time escaping from one. I’m so glad he got let go, I was really scared for him for a sec there.

Melanie and Basira have joined the team, (Elias’s prison), and it’s nice to have more pov characters to follow! I love how they made Basira a bookworm so much, it warms my nerdy heart! I was sad when Elias revealed Melanie’s father was a victim of The Corruption at that old folks home, (something-Ivy?), although I do appreciate her attempts at offing Elias, and I want to see where her research into war ghosts leads her. (We finally found out how she got shot by a ghost!)

This is the “oh yeah, it’s all coming together” point in the story and I am living for it! TMA is doing the mystery + horror balance very well; we’re learning some important lore in between getting scared by monsters. The darkness one from MAG86 still haunts me, its “the blanket never did anything” line was so cold, it would’ve terrified me particularly bad as a kid.

That’s all for now! I’ll do another one of these around season 4, probably.

I need to find someone to explain to me TMA like I'm an idiot (I am)

Did I miss something?

I know I'm still at the start but it feels too confusing

Hes literally me (out for blood)

Speech bubble content from roughly top to bottom:

"I'M IMOGEN :D!" written near illegibly in a robotic font. Trexel: "David. David. DAVID! AM I YOUR DAD? David. David, David- AM I YOUR DAD, David?" David 7: "NO. NO. Definitely NOT." Trexel: "DRINK WITH ME DAVID!" "HAHA! CLONES CAN'T DRINK!"

David 7: "ugh"

David 7, annoyed and at wits end of putting up with Trexel's shenanigans: "Trexel."

[Page 1/2] Speech bubble content from roughly top to bottom: Trexel off-screen, throwing a crumpled paper ball at David 7: "NYEH!" Trexel, laying on the floor: "Floor." Trexel folding their hands together, posing like a villain: "Mhm, Mhm. Now, I see where you are coming from-- --have you ever considered that you are COMPLETELY WRONG." David, disgusted at some off-screen person asking about what David thinks of Trexel: "Trexel? Eugh."

Are audio drama podcasts, horror podcasts, etc still in vogue?

I remember them being everywhere in college, TBT, Tannis, Limetown, White Vault, King Falls, Bright Sessions etc but i feel like, at least in my friend group, there's been no discussion of anything new in years.
