I Think The Funniest Thing To Me Regarding This Whole Zepotha Thing On TikTok* Is Looking At The Fics

I think the funniest thing to me regarding this whole ‘Zepotha’ thing on TikTok* is looking at the fics that have popped up for it on Ao3 and seeing basically every single fic get tagged with a different group of characters because people can only agree on like four characters

*For people who don’t actually know anything abt this, Zepotha is functionally just 80’s teen slasher Goncharov without the consistent plot or characters. It was proposed by this one tiktoker who was like ‘okay let’s pretend like this 80’s horror movie is a real thing’ and it just went out of control

ACE TRAPPOLA WHERE IS YOUR FUCKING MAID DRESS

Y’all since when can bots send asks??? 😭😭😭

Just listened to the first couple episodes of The Magnus Protocol and I have stuff to think about

(Spoilers ahead ofc)

Okay so immediately I like the new format, I think it opens a lot of opportunities for really unique stuff. I find it interesting how despite the apparent lack of tape recorders, there’s still a canon reason they’re being recorded, albeit in a way that raises way more questions (Like wdym Sam’s phone dialed a number on it’s own to listen in on him and Alice??)

Second thing is, like, Gwen?? Girl you are following in the footsteps of the other Bouchard and I am so worried for you. I was incredibly worried for her during that performance review, but I’m really interested in what’s going to happen. Like it’s uncanny how she seems to literally have the exact same ideas about her place in the institute as Elias did.

That first incident is going to come up later I’ve learned from the original that they’re gonna do callbacks and it’s gonna be really important.

Evidently I’ve figured the entities that each incident were are End, Eye, and Flesh in order, but that first one is just so weird??

Also when Sam questioned what ‘DPHW’ meant I immediately thought that the DP part stands for Dread Power(s) but I have no idea what the rest could mean.

Touching on Alice’s brother for a second I think that he’ll be relevant later (I mean obviously) but also the mention of his band name including ‘bullet’ immediately is setting off Slaughter flags in my head.

Also!! The second incident!! Erm!!

‘Canaries should stay above ground’ went so fucking hard and I’m curious about what actually happened in this case cause like it’s pretty obvious they didn’t write that themselves given the whole “Probably carved out their eyes” thing.

I started The Magnus Archives after it was already done and I unintentionally and intentionally spoiled myself before finishing it so I’m excited to actually listen along this time. I’m treating the second incident like everyone mentioned will be important because again internet usernames probably will be important.

(Can you tell I’m rambling as things come to mind)

I can’t tell if it was intentional or if it’s just a reoccurrence of the infinite name recycling thing again but the fact that the email from the first incident was to Daria while the person from the third was named Darla is interesting

Also haha hey Colin what are you up to you got cut off there

Also assuming that something terrible happened to Teddy because of course it did

They put Jon and Martin in Windows 95 truly tragic and also terrifying considering Binary

I’m curious who the third voice will be? Maybe Elias?

That’s all I’ll reblog this with more if I think about it

Bisan's recent post. I think it's important for you to read it. Tonight 03.12.23, journalists in gaza share their last messages. There are no words to describe the horrors unfolding in gaza right now.

I no longer have any hope of survival like I had at the beginning of this genocide, and I am certain that I will die in the next few weeks or maybe days. I have been sick with severe viral infection for days and cannot move from the mattress!

I suffer from nightmares that are so closely resemble reality that I no longer differentiate between reality and dream.

I live in a world other than the one I claimed to be building! I am a community activist who lived on the fantasy that the world was free and just, and I sought to bring rights not only to my people, but to many men and women in third world countries!

I was shocked that I was not from the third world! Indeed, we are the most humane and moral! Yes, because the world approves, supports, and finances the genocide we are being subjected to, legislates it, and gives reasons for for 58 days! While we are a people who have been living on occupied land for 75 years and are still searching for our rights and communicating our voice to the world!

My message to the world: You are not innocent of what is happening to us, you as governments or peoples that support Israel’s annihilation of my people. We will not forgive you, we will not forgive you, humanity will not forgive you, we will not forget, even if we die, the history will never forget .

A Message to friends: Thank you and the supporters around the world. You have been compassionate and very strong. We ask you not to lose hope, even if the world seems completely unfair and your efforts have not yet resulted in a ceasefire.
