I Was Born Down Here And I Will Die Down Here

“I was born down here and I will die down here”

Hold on now Alice, let’s not say things like that so early on in the series, that typically doesn’t work out super well when your a Jonny Sims character, lest I remind you:

Imagine a bee rn in a hive muttering "the beekeeper is not real because he is not intervening or helping me at all with this disastrous relationship I have with another bee". now imagine that's you talking about the good lord. now imagine a dog with a propeller hat on

something something tma starts with an anglerfish luring you in, something something tmp starts with a canary telling you to get out while you still can

thinking about "canaries should stay above ground" and the very first statement being about a person investigating the magnus institute and how that ended horribly for them and then thinking about how sam is looking into the institute despite alice warning him to drop it. something something you are already doomed before you even begin.

tmagp predictions: nobody notices something odd is happening and they just continue with their day-to-day job for 40 episodes straight (except Colin who emerges from the server room with two visibly shaken, very familiar-sounding dudes. Colin refuses to explain.)

You ever think supernatural creatures that consider humans potential prey have that "cat chases a bear up a tree"-thing? Like how bears, being an apex predator, have no concept of something that's sufficiently prey-sized deciding to attack instead of fleeing, and cats have no awareness of the fact that they can die. So every once in a while a cat and a bear come face to face in the wild for the first time. A bear doesn't understand what this creature is that isn't trying to flee, and starts sniffing. A cat doesn't understand what this creature is and decides to slap it. Utterly baffled, the bear decides it's best to get out of here. The cat starts chasing because obviously anything that flees is prey.

Imagine having an Entity in your home that eats creatures like you, but has never caught a human before. It doesn't understand why this prey isn't trying to escape, the human is clearly unnerved by sensing A Presence but still keeps stubbornly sitting on the couch watching TV. The Entity moves a piece of furniture, making an eerie creaking noise, planning to raise terror in its prey as a way of playing with its food. But instead of even turning to look towards the source of the sound, the human just yells into the empty house:

"WHATEVER THE FUCK JUST MADE THAT NOISE HAD BETTER FUCK OFF, OR START PAYING RENT."

The Entiry freezes in place, and decides that whatever is going on, it's not worth the risk to find out. Better leave while it still can.
