I think everyone’s contributions to the discussion were valid and overall they all raised pretty good points.

Except for Bassira Hussain and her self-righteous opinion that not taking any action is better that doing something morally wrong.

I mean if someone was slowly stabbing me to death I would probably be grateful if you just went and slit my throat instead of just standing by.

Possibly unpopular opinion

I don’t think that any of the options they had and any decision they could have made was worse or better than the others.

However it was such a great philosophical debate. I loved it!

“What a nice statements you’ve got there. Would be a shame if something happened to them-…”

Callback to season three before tomorrow since it looks like some statements are gonna burn.

You might have seen my cosplay of Elias but I also kin the Archivist as well so of course I had to do cosplay too.

Holding that damn lighter since I want to be relevant…

Since it’s popular to make tma finale prediction…

I think that the episode 199 will start in the middle of things happening. We think they are going with Annabelle’s plan but then we realized they aren’t fully. We don’t know why or what’s their real plan. It’s still very dramatic we hope in explanation but we get only glimpses of it. It ends on cliffhanger.

The episode 200 will actually start with recording taking place right after 198 which will finally explain certain things from 199. Then the taperecorder will clip because the “flashback” was on tape. Now we are in the present where everything is solved. Some remaining character will explain what happened after the ending of of 199. Someone is definitely dead.

Anyway I don’t really believe it will go anything like that I just think it would be cool.

> All of this is so accurate! Also they often seem to forget that a lot of the time Jon is trying to verbalize things that are not meant to be verbalized or have never been described before which is…not easy. There’s also a curious disregard for Jon’s emotional state from others. They’re very keen to lecture him about how things affect them and what he should do to see to their emotional needs but they rarely seem to want to know what they can do to see to his needs or to even think about it. Often they seem actively disinterested in Jon’s wants or opinions.

Since there’s lots of negativity about tma season five lately I’ve just wanted to say that tma season five is my favorite.

Now I’m not talking plotwise but strictly statementwise.

I was really skeptical at first with In the Trenches but it really hit me hard? So did The Sick Villiage! And almost every other as well!

I really love the new more experimental style. So far my favorite statements were the wierd one usually Spiral ones like Fatigue or Upon the Stairs. And almost every episode in season five is like that.

I love how the Revolutions is this wierd poetry, the email from Oliver Banks in Roots, the second person p.o.v. on Wonderland and one of my all time favorite the script in Strung Out.

I don’t like every episode for example The Great Beast was a bit if disappointment but over all? I love the statements in season five.

I understand why some people don’t and that they miss the realism and that’s fine and valid. I just wanted to say that as much as some people dislike the statement thus season other people like me absolutely love these statements! 👀

## About the purpose of the cult in tma

I don’t think that inclusion of the cult was pointless.

- The cult offered perspective how this eyepocalyptic world looks from normal human perspective. Not normal human trapped in the nightmare but real normal human without supernatural background observing this. I think it would be shame lose chance of getting this perspective and it would be rather hard to see this distinctive set of possible approaches to this.
- The cult served as a way to flash out Jon and Martin. Not only we could see how hard is it for normal human to grasp the concept of what’s happening but also how hard it is for Jon and Martin to relate to that view. We got enough of Jon being fleshed put as not really human anymore but the interaction with the cult really helped to show that neither is Martin. And it’s understandable that after all they’ve been through it would be hard to not unsee or even interact with someone who’s completely missing the point. (I loved the Martin and Arun interaction so much-…)
- But most importantly: the cult served as a way to flash out Melanie and Georgie. It would probably feel a bit wierd if Jon and Martin after all the struggles arrived to London and found what the girlfriends were just hiding in the tunnels the whole time doing nothing. As if they were waiting for someone to give them some purpose what to do. Them not being seen by the Eye might probably play some role in the finale so it would be extra wierd for them to have thid power but still be like “yeah we are totally safe and unseen and yet we were doing nothing till you arrived.” The cult was good way to flesh out their power and also to show that they really did not just wait for Jon to fix it all but were trying to do something no matter how pointless it might look in the end.

But in the end I just want to say that I understand frustration and I’m not saying anyone criticizing Jonny for inclusion of the cult is wrong I just wanted to offer my perspective on this.

Honestly until the mild backlash I haven’t even thought about the cult too much. But I never really expected them to play any other role in the finale than stakes for Georgie and Melanie…

Whether you’re referring to our (least?) favorite Eyevatar as Elias Bouchard or Jonah Magnus it has completely different energy.

Jonny: So I’ve heard you all missed some good old statement…

This episode was not so heavy plotwise but the message is quite clear:

They are at the end of not only real one but also metaphorical ladder.

This world is on the end of the metaphorical ladder.

There really is nothing else to do but jump and go with Annabelle’s plan, huh?

Do you want to write fanfic about Jonah Magnus taking place in regency era but you’re not sure what kind of language to use or how to accurately portray society at that time?

Let me recommend you any book written by Jane Austin!

I mean she’s real life author who lived during the regency era and who wrote mostly about upper middle class or upper class. Manners, society, language, culture, time it usually takes to travel from one spot to another, seasonal habits (are you even rich if you’re not spending winter in London?) and letter etiquette - it’s all there.

So if you have struggles writing about Jonah and his simp club just try reading Pride and Prejudice first…

After he decided to dedicate his life to the Lonely Mordechai Lukas invited Jonah Magnus to visit him in Moorland house exactly twice.

First time he only welcomed him and then made sure not to see him at all for the rest of his stay. He was just feeding on his loneliness while Jonah was frustrated wandering all alone through his home.

He invited him again few years later but he forgot to consider that Jonah has his own patron he serves and in those years he got much better grasp of his own powers. The entirity of his stay Jonah was just running into Mordechai because he Knew where he was. Of course Jonah always pretended that all of their encounters were completely accidental and what a coincidence it is to meet on some very unusual place Mordechai was hiding at the moment…

Mordechai never invited Jonah at his place ever again after that. (Which doesn’t mean he never actually visited him without invitation.)

Thoughts on some of my favorite takes on lack of communication in lonelyeyes in no particular order:

- Elias and Peter genuinely love each other but they would never admit that because it would not go well with the personas they built for themselves and also what if the other one is just toying with them?
- Peter loves Elias but would never admit that. Elias does not reciprocate his feelings at all but he likes to be admired so he just keeps him in uncertainty.
- Elias loves Peter but would never admit that. Peterbdoes not reciprocate his feelings at all but he feels no need to explicitly state that plus he thinks that like this he is making Elias feel more Lonely.
- Neither of them actually loves the other, they barely care about each other’s fate. They just both think they are the one in control.

…the point is that in the end all of above looks exactly the same because of the need to keep the other one at arm’s length.

Since we have existence of alternative dimensions confirmed, doesn’t it mean that our fanfics are cannon in some of them?

nonbinaryeye:

> ## Web’s back-up plan is basically self-fulfilling prophecy

> Let me explain!

> First the back up plan of the Mother of puppet’s if any ritual ever succeeded is The Hilltop Road - the somewhere marked by all fears. All the fears are also captured into tapes which could pull all the them into another dimension with right cataclysmic event, right? (Okay, I might simplify it or straight out mess up some detail but not the point now)

> Annabelle said that no one knows how it’ll go in the new reality and someone performs successful ritual again. So it’s really just a way how to escape from the End and get a new victims to feed on.

> But for such a back up plan the Web needed to find the best person to record the tapes - Jon. And so the Web started coercing Jon, giving him the right pushes, leading him and also giving him on silver plate to Jonah Magnus.

> I mean… Wouldn’t it be much easier just keep preventing rituals from happening? Only one who actually managed to figure out way for ritual to works was Jonah. Wouldn’t it be easier to kill him? Or if it’s not subtle enough then just keep sending useless Archivists his way?

> Or maybe at least literally not give him the one perfect person which Web picked? (even if the Web needed Jon to work for the Eye and also be marked by all entities how hard would it be to let Jonah’s fucking “Apologies for the deception…” to get lost in mail?)

> So my conclusion is that if the Web never started creating a back up plan they might as well not need any back up plan.

> I’m not saying that the Web basically played itself but it did.
