So this poll from @pollsnatural asked if Supernatural was the most toxic fandom people have been in, and the vast majority of folks said no, so now - based on some fandoms in the replies of that post - I'm curious...
Runners up from the linked poll include Teen Wolf, MCU, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Once Upon a Time, sports RPF, Minecraft YouTube, Dragon Age, Mo Dao Zu Shi, One Direction, a bunch of others, and a few abbreviations I'm not familiar with lmao.
I'm guessing "other" will win this poll - tell me which in the tags! I'm curious if there's any Really Big One I should have included (probably MCU...it was hard to juggle "size/popularity of fandom" with "relative toxicity" like if a fandom is huge it's usually just more toxic in general cause there are the same number of weirdos per capita but way more people overall, ya know?)
anyway. yes. poll. do the thing.

another big difference between tma and tmagp is that in tma, the listener is essentially on the same page as jon at all times. you know what he knows, and when he discovers something new, he immediately tells you. but in tmagp, everyone already knows more than you. and they won't tell you. you just have to try to listen in at the right time.
it's kind of tied to tape recorders; in tma, your existence as the listener is justified. it has a purpose. you are the tape recorder. that's why you get to know everything. in tmagp, you're not supposed to be listening. what you get is scattered, contextless scenes, starring people who don't know that you're listening.
and i fucking love that.

thinking about how Johnny and Alex met at a shitty night job and decided a few years later to write an audio drama that literally changed the lives of thousands of people. how Harlan was literally unemployed when he decided to start making malevolent, and now he's singlehandedly revolutionizing the audio drama landscape. or Zach Valenti and Gabriel Urbina being long-time college friends who wanted to make something fun with no expectation that over 20 million people would listen to it....not being hyperbolic at all when I say that some of the best pieces of audio fiction have been made in basements by teams of less than 3 people. wtnv has always been a few friends who wanted to make something interesting after their day job. i am just thinking of artists persevering under the crushing weight of capitalism. .. and great art made out of pure love and curiosity for an emerging medium...

Alright, so celia, she clearly recognised jons voice, right? so one assumes shes the same celia as the one we heard in tma. I'm not saying thats definitely not true, not at all, but here are some thoughts about her that made me think twice whether that's the case:
It sounds like she has some personal experience handling tape recorders and manilla folders, when as far as we know she only saw them in a very brief period following jmart around before she got kidnapped back to her hellscape?
That could be referring to when she gave a statement to the Institute, but in MAG190 she didn't give any indication of remembering anything from before. Now, she still calls herself Celia - if she remembers everything from before the Eyepocalypse, wouldn't she go by Lynne?
Actually she seems very well-adjusted for someone who has gone through a hellscape specifically catered to her worst fears, was saved, dragged back, and then dimension hopped and presumably lost any remaining support system à la Anya Villette
She's gotten through to U2 VERY well in fact, considering that last we heard, she was a somewhat random eyepocalypse victim - while the Eye's special little boys seem to have gotten trapped in 'puters after their dimension hopping
The way she reacts to Jon's voice is just 'heh'? not even excusing herself? She really is cool as a cucumber. Actually, she feels more like someone who listened to the show reacting to things, rather than having lived through it
hey wait a minute...
... maybe instead of this being the exact same Celia as from tma, this Celia somehow heard the tapes, as they got pulled into U2 along with the Fears. Then when she recognized her own name and voice, she decided to investigate them and her own universe's Institute under a false name
