Fun Little TMA Head Canon

fun little TMA head canon

so The Fears have been around (as we know them) since the Industrial Revolution… aka before ufo sightings and what not…

so now i like to believe that every “alien encounter” or “ufo sighting” was actually just The Spiral and/or The Stranger having some fun

thank you for coming to my TedTalk

they just be like that unfortunately.

a tried and true case of “it’s not you, it’s them.”

TMA: “Like colors, but if colors hated me.”

TMAGP: “Like colors, but if colors hated me. And if they didn’t know what color they are. And also didn’t know what colors are. But the colors definitely still hate me.”

idk if this is accurate cause i only just finished TMAGP 8 but that’s the vibe im getting.

VAGUE TMAGP SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

cause ik The Fears technically aren’t supposed to exist in this world, but it’s blatantly obvious that they do, at least to a certain extent.

but they seem to be very muddled together. in TMA, it was generally pretty clear cut which statement belonged to which Fear and in the few statements where they would overlap, it usually wasn’t more than 2 Fears cooperating at once.

but in TMAGP, it’s almost like there’s multiple Fears trying to coexist in one case file and the lines between them are very blurred together. like they aren’t as… refined as they were in TMA. (probably due to The Banishing as i’m calling it imo.)

in TMA, they were 14 dollops of different colored paint neatly organized on a paint palette and would occasionally be mixed together to obtain a certain hue, while still being recognizable.

in TMAGP, these 14 dollops of different colored paint have all been swirled and mixed together so much that the original colors used are just barely distinguishable.

and the palette is cracked. and decaying. and staining your hand that tarnished-cheap-metal-green even thought the palette is wooden.

and the colors still hate you.

reminder that i am the #1 martin blackwood apologist. my boy did nothing wrong. i will defend him w my life. if there is 1 martin blackwood lover its me and if there are 0 im dead. if you think his character is shallow then you need to relisten to his entire arc and i hate you. my final breath will be spent defending martin blackwood. not only am i going to die on this hill, im killing myself on it. fuck you.

ah yes it's fall, time to go to the attic to grab my warm pullovers and my podcast distributed by rusty quill and licensed under-

i’ve finished TMAGP now and i completely see where you’re coming from. i think i was starting to pick up on the whole “balance” motif and my mind latched onto Smirke in the process

TMAGP 8 VAGUE SPOILERS

a study on architecture… very strange architecture… distortions… architectural hunger of a space… ARC STAF… ARCSTU…

it’s Robert fucking Smirke again and his weird ass buildings, isn’t it???

why not?

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
