''what If My Writing Isn't Good Eno--'' What If It's A Reflection Of Your Soul. What If It Has A Place

imogen asking how nick met charlie and the others, and nick struggling to explain the phenomenon of gays just naturally gravitating towards one another without outing himself

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

ITS APRIL 13 YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

HI HI HI HI I SAW YOUR POST WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT TMAGP?

YES YES YES PLEASE IM SUFFERING

Unhinged conspiracy theory time!

Hear me out! Just give me a second, ok? Listen, listen!

The Magnus Archives were what happened when Jonah Magnus got clever and figured out how to end the world. What if he got caught? What if this is a universe where someone figured out/outed his body hopping bullshit?

That would explain the giant empty room where the archives should be that have nothing in them. If the, lets say government for shorthand, confiscated it all that would explain the lack of wood pulp noted by RedCanary.

It would also explain why there's a government agency tracking the formation of avatars. Every statement so far aside from that One involves the giver becoming an avatar, or at least encountering one and being compelled rather than afraid.

My theory:

The Magnus Protocol is tracking avatar formation for clues on if anyone else is figuring it out. But curiosity is a compulsion in and of itself. Freddie (yes I know that's not the spelling I'm on my phone and not looking things up) started manifesting voices about the time Jon, Martin, and Jonah died in the panopticon. So here they are. Three fully formed avatars reading out true statements. Much like how real ones refused to record in the old universe. Now they are read out by Chester, Norris, and Augustus. Chester trying to warn them, desperately, still caught up in preventing the apocalypse he feels guilty for. And inadvertently creating Curiosity. We have Norris, trying to warn them about what happens if you get caught up in it, how easy it is to just give in. How you lose yourself to the surrounding universe.

And then there's Augustus. The only one who sounds *human* in the computer. Whose voice quality doesn't change the more sucked in you get. The only one who has body hopping experience. The only one who also died in the panopticon at the end of the world, Mag 200 has no reference to his corpse being found in the rubble. And he's here to fuck shit up. Again. Because his soul is committing tax fraud *constantly*.

Lena says Gwen doesn't have what it takes to climb *this* particular ladder. Because they just ruthlessly eliminate anyone who Might be either Magnus or catching on to his realization. If Augustus can convince Gwen that Lena is Bad then he can twist her into eliminating the most immediate threat to him.

Do I know how everyone else fits in? Nope! I'm willing to believe, having met Scotsmen and IT people, that Colin is just Like That. Alice is a trans tumblrina trashposter who must be protected at all costs. Sam? I'm sorry love you're the main character and therefore doomed by the narrative.

It's so hard to be in love with a ship that isn't canon, wasn't meant to be canon and will never be canon, but would've been so good if it was canon.
