> random tma opinions+thoughts+headcannons (warning: spoilers)

> don't come after me for that, i can have a discussion but don't attack me pls i'm scared of fandom discourse

> Keep reading
> - i don't really like season 5, the vibe was so different from the earlier seasons and the mystery was gone and i don't ship jmart...
> - no offence to the people who like jmart (most of the fandom it seems to me), but it felt a bit random? maybe i just didn't notice the transition, but Jon went from not liking Martin to suddenly being in love and i was like?? what?? you suddenly care?? maybe if i relisten i'll like them as a pair, but for now i just. don't care about them really? again, no offence to the people who like them.
> - tma is actually very depressing and not because of the main characters dying. Gerry's whole life and death. Agnes Montague's whole life and death. Basira talking to the tape recorder for the last time, being alone, having to live in a post-apocalyptic world. Gertrude sacrificing Michael to stop a ritual that would fail anyway. Tim sacrificing himself to stop a ritual that would fail anyway. Saha's death. the list goes on. it's the individual tragedies of all those people who didn't ask for this. no matter what you do, you'll suffer.
> - people have different opinions on Gerry's orientation, but dare i say he himself doesn't really know/care? look at his life, do you think he had time for romance? for me he's kind of like that meme: "i'm probably nonbinary but i have a job so idrc about that right now". (i also lowkey hc him as aroace)
> - despite being a huge fan of Gerry, i like Gertrude Robinson. what she did to Michael and Gerry was awful but i can't really hate her for that. idk what to say more. i've seen an analysis that maybe Gertrude binding Gerry to the book was her trying to save her last tie to humanity and that she left him behind because she felt ashamed of what she did, and i agree.
> - after seeing some amazing fanart i like jongerry BUT i see them as strictly platonic. they could be best friends if it were possible.
> - Elias is very funny. horrible human being but he's too funny for me to really hate him.
> - i've seen some voices that Gerry is a metalhead insted of goth, but i think he could be both + i don't think he'd really care about labels, he just listens to what he likes, dresses as cool as it is possible with his way of living and hunts leitners.
> - lost in the crows trurly show how inherently good Gerry Keay was. sure, he complained that his vacation is ruined, but he saved Andrea's life. he could ignore her, and probably wanted to, but he was too good to not help her and it breaks my heart.
