MAG127, Remains To Be Seen: "[...] as we got closer I could see that it was a single tree that was burning. A gnarled and ancient elm, that sat removed from the rest of the forest. A small crowd surrounded the spectacle. One man, who I took to be a groundskeeper, stood closer than the others, with a lit torch in his hand. [...]
... All that I could get from him was a sense of… resignation, and the insistence that his master, who I took to be Albrecht, wanted the tree dead. I’m sure that he used that word, though. Not burned, not removed, or destroyed. Dead. I resolved to ask Albrecht about it when I saw him."
...and then we never heard from it again. This tree still confuses me!! I can't connect it conclusively to anything else, but there's such an emphasis placed on it that it feels like it has to be important!
The motif of a big gnarly tree being burned echoes the tree at Hilltop Road, so even though there are no spiders, something about it feels Webby - as does the way Fanshawe mentions it, says he wants to ask Albrecht about it, and then seems to completely forget about it...
...that's a very weak connection at best, when there aren't any other indications that the Web is involved with the Von Closens at that time and place. So what else could it be? Fire could indicate the Desolation, but that has the same problem of not being mentioned otherwise, plus just burning down one (1) tree doesn't really seem like its style to do, unless this specific tree means something;
Trees and fire are also reminiscent of Gertrude's protection circle from s1, though, again, that's Web & Desolation duking it out. The tree at HTR also seemed to be connected to Agnes' death in some way, she died when it was cut down. Maybe this tree is also protecting someone, but who? why? how? Albrecht? That makes no sense, at the very least unless "the Master" is referring to someone else, but that really just opens more questions than it answers!
Maybe the tree is meant to signify another 'rift' between worlds, and it links up to the vague implication that maybe the Von Closens seemed to be unable to get children in s1, but evidently had them later on. And maybe the bastard prince actually came through from another dimension as well.... However, that's still a very big leap to take just from one odd tree and two 'mysteries' that aren't really mysteries and didn't really need solving in the first place
I'd be curious to know if this was a plot hook for future episodes which never materialized into something more, or if I'm just missing something here. anyone else have a solid theory? @a-mag-a-day

Strange man who came to me in my dream as a TRAFFIC CONE
I'll talk about it more under the cut so look here if you want to hear about my dream ⬇️
Ok ok so like for starters if you've ever played Kirby and the forgotten land my dream felt like a crossover of that and portal and like aperture was really just an abandoned circus instead like wondaria and also I was Kirby in the dream
But like this core guy shade shows up at some point with one of his co-workers but I don't remember what they were talking about then he disappears to god knows where when he comes back hes human but looked like the villain from secret life of pets 2 with more hair ??
But like at some point in the dream it's chell's perspective and she like got out and is leaving the big ol like aperture circus tent thing and shade follows her outside (at this point he's a normal core again) and is like "congrats :) you can go home good job!!" And right afterwards fucking birds swoop down, grab him and fly away and right then was where I woke up like what the fuck
Oh and that's not all I took a nap yesterday and the only thing I vividly remember dreaming about was shade coming to me just to tell me he's made of recyclable materials

I have a feeling this will be the next main character of Great debate so I’m going to get in early, not to moralize about it too much but I think this person is a bad friend. Not friendship ending or anything crazy, but I do think they need to be told they’re a bad friend and probably also that they’re not funny directly

For some reason I was thinking about BC’s Fuck marry kill and how everyone else joked around but Joel was all serious about his ”I’d fuck Olli because he’s the most handsome” -answer 😭 like yes we been knew you’re sexually attracted to him (him filming him half naked doing yoga and all that) but. really?? 😭
(and for legal reasons this is a joke)
Joeeeeeellll your bisexuality is showing agaaiiinn 🙄
I mean, I'm convinced the whole fucking band is sexually attracted to Olli (who's completely oblivious to it and think the others are just messing with him) because who woudn't be, honestly?
Tommi commenting how Olli always looks good?
Niko saying Olli is the most handsome in the band?
Joonas having a whole-ass sexual awakening watching Olli paint a broccoli shamrock on his chest? (Yes, I may have stared at a gif of this for unreasonably long yesterday)
To conlcude, they all a little gay for Olli 💕

Only the Citadel DLC is left for me to complete in Mass Effect 3.
Until ME5 comes out and/or we learn if our previous trilogy saves can change what’s going on, or the canon ending is confirmed, I will NOT be completing the ending of ME3. I will hold this save in a special place for years if I have to. I will buy so many external hard drives to just to keep ME Legendary installed with my saves intact.
And right now, for my sanity, I am holding off on doing the Citadel DLC and not currently planning on playing through Andromeda again. Not yet anyway.
Very slowly reinstalling ARK: Survival Evolved to spend some time dicking around in the maps I missed while at field camp. And also cuddling my dog because it is a rainy day and I feel like I’m five puzzle pieces away from finished the most challenging and emotional puzzle of my fucking life.
