Echo lives in Tanis

I think it's like when you're exploring something as small and niche as tanis that very few know about then of course your obviously going to end up meeting/ getting to know the few other people that are also interested in it.

Nic is obviously looking into these people so he sorta ends up with a weird relationship with them cuz he knows stuff about all of them they havent told him, but everyone in the show also listens to nics podcast so they all know what he thinks of them and how he feels and personal things about him

Everyone in the show ends up having this kinda weird parasocial relationship with each other where they all know a bunch of stuff about each other that they havent told each other.

It's also the fact that no one in tanis genuinely feels truly antagonistic, they all just have differing opinions on what tanis is, how it should be studied and used and so it puts them at odds but theres also this kind of unspoken comradary between them because they all want to know what this is and so even if they don't agree with each other viewpoint wise they all still kind of end up helping each other. Paul and ellis both call nic all the time and give him cryptic clues about things they know or have found out, paul knows veronika even though we never actually hear them talk to each other so all of these people are interacting with each other and sort of sharing their collective knowledge with each other, just being kinda like not 100 percent trusting each other just because of their different ideologies.

It makes it feel like it's this small group of enthusiasts all trying to figure out this big unknown and sharing their thoughts and things they have found out with each other while keeping certain things close to the chest or private because of differences but everyone really is trying to get to the same thing which is the truth of tanis.

Tesla nova kind of seems too get this because of the point where they say that they believe it's important that they all be working towards the same goal of understanding the breach and helping others looking into it like nic.

I didn't ever remember this cuz I don't listen to TBT as much as tanis but omg new blorbo lore
