First thoughts on new magnus Protocol episode

Magnus Protocol episode 21 spoilers below:

First off:

We're so back!!!!!!!!!!

Second off, what the actual FUCK?

So Celia implying she had the ability to go back, but Jack doesn't, does that mean Jack is native here?

And then the whole magnus institute being treated closer to a cult in this universe, it's less of just some poor saps stuck there with one guy being a devoted follower of the Eye, now it's like they're all actual followers of the Eye, even bringing up schisms (like sects of a religion) on how they think the belief behind Y2K will affect their ritual.

And of course there's the whole some guy's doppelganger crawling from the earth and pulling him in, so that's 2 doppelganger we've seen, (1. Dude and his half brother, now 2. This guy), I'm thinking that the archives universe is bleeding over, if Celia switched, and with multiple doppelganger appearing more frequently I'm starting to think that there may be some growing overlap

Then there's Alice with the whole acknowledging someone in the computers, and treating then with sentience asking about them purposefully giving magnus statements.

And now for the titchular-bitchular Gwen (and Ink5oul), so Gwen doesn't do too bad for a horror protagonist, she wasted no time getting the hell out of dodge and even found help, however, from what it sounded like Ink5oul began controlling the guys barbed wire tattoos and making them real, meaning Ink5oul's tattoo powers aren't just over their own tattoos, but seem to be over any tattoo, and Gwen drops her phone (like that guy dropped his arm)

And for the biggest moment, we here a tape recorder click, and then ad Ink5oul grabs Gwen and trys to get to work, Gwen gets compeled, and begins giving a statement of her own (I for a split second thought it was Julia's from MA:9) and even Ink5oul is freaked out at it, and then some figure (surrounded by whispers like a wind(which could be like Jon's cassettes like we hear in the Web's lair)) appears and says "Mine" "All of them, mine" (who is all, the OIAR?) But doesn't do anything to Gwen at the moment and instead talks about others "There is more." "No. Not here. Elsewhere..." and just leaves, leaving the tape recorder behind where it fucking bites Ink5oul before clicking off.

So the transcript calls this thing "[ERROR]" which is what the thing that appeared at the end of Sam and Alice's outing to the archives was called. This thing is acting like some ghost of the archive, like not the archivist of the past kind, but like if Jon fully lost humanity, but Jon is in the computer, I'm thinking this could kinda literally a ghost of the archive, when the protocol was enacted and the archive burnt down this could be what someone became to survive, or maybe this worlds version of Jonah and he became this monster because of how the powers work here (maybe something about his fear of death and his allegiance to the Eye) or this could be the result of the "universal transmutation" or the fruit of the tree of knowledge.

The tree of knowledge is something I doubt the institute would let burn, so them keeping it for themselves makes sense, and them using it to try and gain higher knowledge would track, and maybe they and the fruit are responsible for that one guy turning into plants (MP:3).

Hopefully next episode answers something, and of course makes me freeze and go "😐" or go "they said the thing!"

Another quick magnus protocol idea/ramble for 21

So Ink5oul mentions specifically scorpions right, scorpions are arachnids like spiders.

And spiders were separated from insects in the corruption, so could this be a reflavor of the arachnid seperstion from TMA

Side note this episode did also mention corruption as an aspect of the statement, so this could be an additional highlight

Mag 23:

No Jon and no Martin in this universe

Basira???🙀

Helen???🙀

And Alice comforting a broken down Gwen 😭😭😭

"Another showed up"

Also the lie thing going off when Gwen said "I've not been ass-y" ☠️

"I know many eyes a regular human is supposed to have! It just stood there holding this old tape recorder and -"

"That tape thing, this isn't the first time -"

Holy fucking shit

So this Eye thing(Archivist?) I'm guessing is related to the "protocol"

official dyehard post?!?!

not even gonna be embarrassed about this, each of these came out surprisingly good
