I'll bite.

I need to know about the red string conspiracy doc.

Sounds very fun

I have been WAITING for this. Get ready for the combined brainrot of @alice-apparently and I, you poor soul. Now, listen up, 'cause we’ve got a labrynthine twisted task of a tale to tell, and if you don’t keep up, you might get lost :)

And obviously: spoilers for tmagp. don't keep reading if you're behind 🫵🏼

First things first: anyone currently descending into paranoia? we're already there, poster children of paranoia-land, that's us. May I present the title of the wonderful conspiracy doc -

There's also a TMA conspiracy doc Ali made, fully colour- episode- and entity-coordinated. It's like 24k words and not even fully done. don't worry about it.

Which is why we're going to be super normal and low-key about the Protocol red string doc right?

of course.

As you can see above, our collaboration relies on Ali's colour coding and her making nice, structured observations of possibly important things, while I provide the Latin and cheer her on. Balance is important in a marriage.

Also included in this all-round package: character info, quotes, etc.

I've since moved on from my "Gwen is evil" theory because I simply love socially awkward, abrasive characters who are good at their job a little too much (nervously shuffles Jonathan Sims, the Archivist, further behind my back). Still the hottest bitch at the OIAR, don't @ me.

Also also, in this house we love Alice Dyer and don't trust her any further than we can throw her. what is UP with all your comments Alice? What do you know???

Anyway.

But Ames, you say, didn't you promise quotes? I did, and I'll do you one better: tmagp quotes with additional obnoxious commentary from yours truly and Ali

If you'd like to see Ali lose her shit over the red canary implications (which I fully support), hop over to her tumblr @alice-apparently and give it a read. It's delightful.

Right. Moving on from the random screenshots. Basic outline of part one of the paranoia board is a section for every episode. Ali is listening to ep7 as I write this and having a great time (not), so there's not much in the ep7 section, except for this:

Thoughts and prayers, love, thoughts and prayers.

And FINALLY, my favourite section.

This is the speculation part, time line puzzle and colour coding reference, but my current favourite is this:

She's trying to reverse-engineer the case coding in tmagp, a noble cause. Godspeed, Ali, bc that is too many numbers for my silly little brain. I only excel at criticising stupid horror protagonists aka Personal Screening:

That's all for now.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk, and to send you all off, one last silly comment from me to you and the universe:

Bye!

Keep seeing people talk about how redcanary got their eyes gouged out and I don't think that's right? BadGrav31 asks "Are those eyes? " Not "were those their eyes" or anything in the past.

"Are those eyes?"

to me this reads as if there are more eyes than there are meant to be

we know that with tma word choice was often deliberate, we know that Johnny and Alex are very good writers. I don't think RedCanary had their eyes gouged out. I think it was just the opposite.

The fact that alternate universe Jon and Martin are disembodied voices speaking out of a shitty computer that runs Windows 95 is very on brand for them tbh

Okay okay okay correct me if I am wrong but here is the list of files that chester, norris, and Augustus have read

Chester: First Shift (reddit thread file), Personal Screening

Norris: First Shift (graveyard file), Putting Down Roots

Augustus: Taking Notes

So from what I can see, Chester reads files that are online threads like blogs and reddit files, Norris does stories that have been submitted(? acquired? idk how they get these), and Augustus has only done one but seeing as Chester and Norris seem to have a pattern I think it's safe to assume he does older files like that letter.

Additionally, both of Chester's files had to do with "fucking around and finding out" so to speak. In other words, people online making bad choices and (presumably) getting fucked over because of it. Most likely getting killed too? Cuz RedCanary disappeared suddenly and the person from Personal Screening was cut off in their second to last post and(from what I could tell) did not make that last post themselves

Norris' files, on the other hand, both had something to do with people who had recently experienced some trauma and were now facing manifestations of their own regret and longing.

And while we only have one file from Augustus, his voice is elderly and refined and just...happens? to read a file for his first in-show appearance that is from the 18 or 1900s??? (though I guess this is a bit of a stretch lol)

idk it could be nothing but I feel like combined these are all too great of a coincidence to not be important. I have no clue yet what all of this could mean I'm excited to see if this all is just happenstance or if there is something that will come out of it

listening to personal screening again, and i really disagree with people dismissing the “unintelligible” as censoring cursing. not only do curses not always fit in those gaps, but i really think there’s more there -- or not there, per se. there’s a whole pattern here of missing information. the contents of tom’s other posts are all deleted. the liveblogging cutting off before we understand what tom is seeing. redcanary’s inability to clearly post images for others to see (though that could be canonical supernatural recording issues). the [image removed by moderated]. maybe it all needs to be seen to be believed…

#how bizarre is it #that before the end of 2024's first quarter #two british white men wrote about mine canaries in a metaphorical way to depict the unpreparedness in face of horror #anyways i can't stop listening to Canary and i don't see it getting a lot of love so here goes #everything everything #e e #Mountainhead #Canary #tmagp #the magnus protocol #first shift #mine

Very funny that Jonny and Alex made the very first real incident of their alternate universe sequel series a "died and came back wrong" story.

I wonder what other beloved thing has been revived from the dead and yet is not quite what we remember it being?

First Shift

Oooooh! I absolutely love this opening music!

I wasn't planning to actually live blog this and just wanted to mention the music but then I heard the line "Bones are a lie pedaled by big milk" and now I don't know if I can simply not react to this series in real time. If I don't get my thoughts out I'm gonna be sitting here exasperated by my screen...

"Spite and coffee." I relate to this woman. I run almost exclusively on Spite...

I already love these characters!

I don't actually like chocolate cake...

Another emotionally distant mother figure you say?

Okay, so what I know about this series so far is that there are ghosts in the machines or something like that. The assumption being that it's Jon and Martin and possibly also Jonah Magnus?

Alice is the best character and I love her. If she dies or is emotionally crippled in the future, I'm gonna riot.

The predecessor to Windows 95. What a nightmare...

Ah yes, government employees breaking privacy laws because they are the law... Wow, is this really how they're gonna get their statements?

This sounds like a job I would not only be capable of but might actually enjoy...

Martin?!

"He snapped a pencil in half and walked away." This man realized how nonsense this all is and is so very tired...

The End story? Wait, something pushing from the inside? Maybe the Web or the Corruption then?

Interesting? So the list is actually huge then? I'm very curious to see how everything gets classified.

I don't know if I like this manager.

Oh, dear lord... Collin scares me... But I like him.

"Tell Alice I laughed." Yeah, I like him. He's so awkward.

Can't tell if Collin has a thing for Alice or if it's sibling kind of relationship. Too soon to start shipping I think but I got my eye on these two...

JON!!!!

"Magnus Institute ruins..." When I say my head shot up at that line!

Okay, 20 years later then?

Symbols? Okay, so the dread powers left their mark in the ruins?

Canary lost their eyes I get the feeling...

"Blast from the past." What does that mean, Sam? Tell me your secrets, sir.

Oh? Sam and Alice dated? Cute...

Hello Collin. Pretty sure you're a little crazy...

Oh, I really do love this music! It's so good!
