Midst Season 3 - Tumblr Posts
Sherman: “Hey Lark how’s it going btw I used to date the second most valourous guy in the cosmos”
Harry: “Hey Phin what’s up btw I used to date the guy you beat the shit out of a few weeks ago”
it's incredibly amusing to me that lark and phineas were the first ones to set out on a rescue mission and it was this whole big moment for both of their arcs and yet harry/saskia/tzila all got to sherman first. relatedly, the funniest possible thing to happen next would be for lark and phineas to also show up to this apartment, if only because i desperately want everyone to have to explain to the two of them what the hell Hieronymous Fucking Loxlee is doing in this situation
not the best sign for the rebalancing of the Trust & restoration of the economy, I gotta say
Calling all Foldlets: let’s form a support group after the newest member episode, because what the fuck.
The fact that Jonas Spahr seems to be heading on an express route to Breach, while totally reasonable to us the audience, is absolutely fucking nuts from the perspective of your average Trustee, since they lack the context of his internal monologue and several key events that were not part of the public record
To become incredibly Canadian for a second, the average citizen's perspective on the matter would be like if the federal government blamed the cost of living and housing crises solely on the Governor General and had him removed from office, and he turned up a week later having joined a grassroots anti-monarchism movement. Divorced from context Spahr's turnaround time from key government official to seditionist is absolutely ridiculous
A visualized Midst season 3 timeline, so far
I spent an ABSURD amount of time putting this together, so I figured I’d put it here. This is for non-members, but don’t pay mind if you aren’t caught up with season 3.
The parallels between Coda and Baron: a yap
Most of this is copy and pasted from the discord with some adjustments. I figured I might as well post it to the world for others to see, so enjoy!
When you really think about it, Coda and Baron are pretty much the same episode. Besides the obvious parallel of Kozma and Concords fates, there’s A LOT of other similarities. They’re both about a meeting between Weepe and his current main opposing force. Both Concord and Lazlo have ulterior motives and want something more from him. They both attempt to have the power in the conversation before it quickly and suddenly gets shifted to Weepe, and then there’s also just Weepe. In both meetings, he is self medicating either with his own Syringe Nutcracker Combo™ or with the Big Ass Machine™ in his mansion. And then, both times, he uses his own fold blood to jellify the rival. Also, both episodes HEAVILY focus on the mystery of “what the fuck is going on with Moc Weepe”. Coda introduces his fold ailment and his connection to the mothers (thanks to the appendix), and Baron fully explains the story.
Furthermore, identifying the differences between the two scenes is just as interesting, because to me it really represents everything in Weepes life that has changed between the two episodes. In Coda, he’s at the Cabaret, he’s not (super) fucked up and the biggest thing in his life at that time is the exact subject of the conversation: the breach route. He kills Concord in order to continue the one real thing on his mind, being his own rise to power.
And then in Baron, he’s in his new mansion with his new status that he now has purely BECAUSE of what he did to Concord in Coda, he’s all fucked up and weird thanks to his rise to power, the scope of his life has gotten a lot bigger and the conversation topic is, again, the biggest thing in his life currently: The Trust, and him getting revenge on the very person who fucked him over all those years ago.
I feel like this could be used to make a secondary yap about the parallels of Kozma Lazlo and Atticus Concord as characters, but I’ll leave that for someone else to pick up.
Yap over.
TL;DR: I fucking love this podcast.
