i feel like the tapes are like. connected to jon personally. maybe through some sort of time travel? but i def dont think theyre connected to any entities

Ooo time travel?? I hadn’t even considered that 👀

I was subscribing heavily to the ‘tapes are jon’ theory but I was assuming it’d be through Beholding, which is why the tapes working in the No Entity Zone turned things upside down a bit…the idea that it could be through non-entity means is v intriguing, much to think about 

(ok i know this is probably NOT what you meant lol but the time travel thing combined with the tapes still being Jon is making me picture a scenario where having tapes ends up being essential to saving the world so Future Jon is just running around after Present Jon and slipping tape recorders everywhere when he’s not looking. Like Jon and Martin are momentarily distracted by some idk, horrible torture going on, and while they’re looking away Future Jon jumps out from behind a bush and plants a tape recorder, etc, and I’m laughing)
