#8 running on empty

[cirrus-grey]

TMA Gerry, dressed in head-to-toe black, with died black hair and tattoos, gaunt as a skeleton, smoking a cigarette: Who're you?

TMAGP Gerry, dressed in bright colors, with natural hair and no tattoos, plump-cheeked, drinking herbal tea: I'm you, but traumatized differently.

i can't imagine gerard the encyclopedia kaey being oblivious in any universe so i'm choosing to think he might be taking the mike crew approach,,, waiting until sam pushes and then going well. for the record i tried really hard to be polite and normal but if you insist, here are the h o r r o r s

now that we know that gerry drinks herbal tea, imagine that one scene where jon offers him a cigarette and gerry can't smoke it because he's a ghost, but with gerry offering jon tea (you know, like martin did all the time), but jon can't drink it BECAUSE HE'S IN A COMPUTER

#the magnus protocol #tmagp #tmagp spoilers #jongerry #i am so fucking normal about this #can be read as platonic or romantic #thinking about this on repeat for the entirety of three hours the ep's been out #tmagp ep 8 #running on empty

[they-call-me-haiku]

sooo. an entry read by martin Norris that is clearly about the Lonely (with hints of the Spiral). interesting.

#btw i know i shouldn't be classifying them like that #but its just so much fun #the magnus protocol #tmagp #tmagp spoilers #tmagp ep 8 #tmagp running on empty #tmagp norris #magnus protocol #the magnus protocol spoilers

Hey have we considered that the title this episode got released as, "hostile workplace", is not a mistake or next episode's title but Colin's cry for help that has been silenced by Lena or Fr3 d1?

idk if i'm the biggest fan of gertrude being put in the role of gerry's grandma specifically (see also: found family doesn't need specified roles) but what's important to me is that she's not opposed to the idea of having any sort of genuine connection to someone. i feel like mistrust and solitude have always defined her to some degree before, so to see this version of her that doesn't hesitate to call gerry a family member is. something that can be so personal,

Drove past Lancaster Services (formerly Forton Services) while listening to The Magnus Protocol this afternoon. Kept an eye out for hungry phantoms, but didn't encounter anything...

Since there are Archives doppelgangers in the Protocol world, that means there were probably Protocol doppelgangers in the Archives world as well.

I want Colin to have been the IT guy at the Magnus Institute who had to deal with all of Not!Sasha's verification errors in S2.

absolutely obsessed with the visual execution of this part like are we all seeing this...

also these two panels:

#i love yoo #most of the chapter actually it's really really well done #really i could add like 8 more panels to this post bc the flashback alone is just stunning #how it goes from black and white to red to blue then back to black and white!!! AUGH!!!! #the way rand's face/expression is hidden from us except for when he glances back at yui #the tear/raindrop running down on his face!!! #yui's hand hovering on kousuke's neck as she leads him away!! #her victorious smirk the direct stare!!!! #KOUSUKE'S EXPRESSION OH MY GOD #and 'time's up' in nessa's note i just. AUGH AUGH AUGH :((( #and yui's wig looking like some sort of husk or skin she puts on #and i'm especially obsessed with the panel with rand in the door #how he confronts her but still doesn't dare enter her den #how he's standing in the light but his expression is shrouded in darkness as he faces her #how we don't see either of their expressions #and the composition!! all that dark empty space between them #the darkness of yui's room on rand the light from rand's door on yui #love it when quim let's the visuals speak for themselves without much text just mwah #x

also since i've basically been live blogging watching this i'm going to offer up an unpopular opinion. so pls if you are my mutual and have seen this do not hate me if you haven't avoid this post but uh. Ballerina could have been better than it ended up being and i don't know how to feel about that

#film: ballerina #ballerina #ballerina 2023 #ballerina netflix #netflix ballerina #jeon jong seo #park yu rim #kim ji hoon #like we had a perfect 8-10 ep long setup for a series here ok. i get the point was female rage and f*cking over the scum of society #(which they did and i am grateful for) but it felt empty somehow????? too short. not always realistic ik her taking everyone #out like that isn't supposed to be but you're telling me you're running a f*cking gang whose drug making headquarters is underneath #a racetrack/stable (convinced that's the set of the GSoul Blessed MV btw. i recognized it from the ceiling) and none of you have #a f*cking gun. none of you. not even a rifle. just knifes. are we all Chief Seo at this point just without the skills #ffs we didn't even really get to connect to the best friend dynamic and that sucks bc there was so much material to go over #idk. i'm feeling meh about this. the 'i don't regret watching but i wouldn't do it again' type meh and i hate when that happens #frankly the only good thing about this film was Jong Seo kicking ass with the high school student and the two of them burning #Choi alive on the beach with the flamethrower. ty flamethrower halmeoni we appreciate the gift

actually, thinking about it, how did jon know the address for gerry's cafe ? did he Know ? can he function as The Archivist despite being in both an alternate reality and, you know, a computer ?
