## tma 161 spoilers

whatagrump:

> some plot thoughts: in both recordings jon listened to, there was a bit about sources of ignition inside the archives.

> - in the gertrude tape, she’s talking about using a gas main and petrol to burn down the archives. leitner mentions her “pyromaniac streak.”
> - and in the birthday party tape, tim makes a whole show out of bringing matches into the archives and lighting candles, freaking jon out.

> jon wants to know why jonah sent the tapes, and martin claims he’s gloating. but what if jonah wasn’t the one who sent the tapes? because there’s a common theme in the two we heard, and it’s not a theme that would bode well for the archives or, presumably, jonah.

> and in general, what if the tape recorders mysteriously clicking on isn’t actually a beholding thing? like it’s obvious why we assume it is, but important objects showing up mysteriously and machines switching on without anyone pressing the button sounds very web-like to me. anyway, that would be an intense twist.
