Edette's TMA Relisten

this is the last short episode (under 20 minutes), all episodes going forward are 20+ minutes long

-Jon doesn't like the concept of children suffering forever

-Callum Brodie!! guy just LOVES bullying children. it's his favorite passtime

-this is Callum's domain

-Callum seems to be having a great time with it. no morality crisis going on here. which is interesting because he's the newest (youngest) avatar in the series. as in he was an avatar for the shortest amount of time

^Helen kinda counts but what percentage of real!Helen is left in the Distortion is up for debate

^point is. Jon had a crisis, Helen had a crisis, but this kid's out here having a great time

~domain description~

-Martin doesn't wanna hear any more statements about child torture

~domain description~

-this person's in a Web domain and putting on a fun little theatrical performance

-The Spider really likes doing its fun little puppet shows with human marionettes

-yeah addiction is Web. me personally, I would have liked if they focused on one aspect of the Web here. instead of throwing Spiders and Puppets and Performance and Addiction.

-they drink a bottle of spiders

--end of description--

-Martin's on his Slapping Jon arc

-Jon was gonna talk about the next performance of The Tragedy of Francis and Martin didn't wanna wait another 20 minutes

-Martin went to explore the Web domain while Jon was statementing and won't tell Jon why

-Martin was probably compelled to

-Jon can't Know the Web's grand plan, he can see parts of it but it's too complex to see in its entirety at once

-Jon thinks the Flesh garden is beautiful

-Jared's here!! he's gardening

-Jared's homophobic. rip Jared, you won't survive this one

-Jared wants Jon to make a statement about his garden

~domain description~

-these guys are Suffering Plants with body image insecurities

--end of description--

-now Jon's out here denying that he finds the Flesh garden beautiful. even though he said it was beautiful at the start of this statement

-time to Ceaseless Watcher Jared

🪦Jared Hopworth, 19XX-2018

-Martin wants to know why Jon didn't kill Arthur Nolan

-Jon says it wouldn't have helped anything and he doesn't have a personal grudge against him

-Martin's like 'wait one second. are we at least the good guys? or are we just going around and killing people?'

~domain description~

-Martin seems to have gotten eaten by a Lonely domain

-I think this is the first confirmation that Martin's aware that it's an HR violation to date your boss

-Lonely domain doesn't have comfortable chairs

-Martin's having 20 crises at once

-Martin can only picture notSasha's face. can't remember Jon's or his mother's

-Martin can also remember Jonah Magnus's eyes

--end of description--

-Jon's here!! he's come to retrieve Martin

-Martin's not a fan of going into a building that's actively burning down

-the spooky domain fire can still hurt Jon and Martin, just not permanently

-Jude Perry and Arthur Nolan are in there

-Martin really doesn't wanna go through the Fire Building

-Jon wants to go in to smite Jude

-they're going in <3

~domain description~

-building's on fire

-people are in that on-fire building

--end of description-- via Martin slapping Jon outta it

-Jude!!!! hello Jude <333

-Jude burned Jon because he's annoying. she didn't know it would bring the apocalypse

-Jude's not wrong, Jon's kinda enjoying all this eyepocalypse stuff

-Jon smites Jude

-Martin Really wants Jon to kill Oliver

-Jon doesn't think Oliver's evil enough to kill

-Martin doesn't like that Jon likes Oliver

-also Martin's jealous that Oliver woke Jon up

~domain description~

-people in the End domain just straight up die

-the End likes people who are constantly afraid of dying

-End domain can't continue on forever because it'll eventually kill everyone in it. it'll have to start eating people from other domains

-no new people are being born, which I find hard to believe because there's. there's a whole lotta sex-related horror. and pregnancy related horror. like not to get too into it but even discounting the concept of rape, there's a lot of Fear to be generated in the process of sex, pregnancy, and birth. yes I understand that time isn't passing in its usual way, so if we were to take that to mean that time isn't passing at all then the gestation period can't occur. but from the rest of the season it seems like time is passing, just via 'dream logic', or passing in a way that can't be measured. meaning that the Entities could adjust the gestation period to be however fast or slow they want it to be, for maximum Fear Generating purposes.

fully understand why the writers would want to avoid the technicalities of New People Being Born In The Fear Hell World. but also new people would 100% be born in a Fear Hell world.

-Because No New People are being born (<-I don't buy that), eventually the End will kill off everybody, leaving the Entities themselves to die with no one to feed off of.

-in the eyepocalypse, avatars reflect the feeling of their patrons

-Oliver's like 'hi Jon! I would have given you this statement willingly but that wasn't an option. kill me if you wanna I guess 🤷‍♂️'

-Jon Knows about Martin's conversation with Annabelle

-Martin tells him to stop Knowing things about him

-Jon feels "very sad" about the apocalypse

-Jon doesn't think Gertrude would do too well in the apocalypse

~description of Gertrude's life~

-Gertrude killed the spooky creature that killed the previous head archivist

-Fiona Law my absolute BELOVED <333

^she used to work under the previous head archivist. she's his only surviving assistant

-Fiona survives because she's good at running away and even better at fainting. they can't feed off your fear if you're not awake enough to be afraid (:

^and!! confirmation of my theory that the archival staff are tied to the Archivist and not to Elias!! dunno if I posted that on my main yet but as of rn it's sitting in drafts

-ERIC DELANO <3

-EMMA HARVEY!!! <3333

-aside from Fiona who's middle aged, the other 3 people in the archives are all in their early/mid twenties

-Emma and Gertrude were close

-Emma went 'how is Fiona still alive??' and decided to use the scientific method to test that

-Fiona gets eaten by the coffin

🪦Fiona Law, 19XX-19XX

-the Web decides it loves Emma very much. Web Avatar Emma. I need fanart of that.

-Michael Shelley is hired to replace Fiona

-Emma's gonna mess with Michael now

^Web Emma's out here doing Web things

-Emma's NOT going to mess with Eric because she wants to stay far out of Mary's path

-Eric goes missing and Mary goes 'idk what happened to him :(' and Gertrude just believes her. she didn't feel like Knowing what happened.

-Eric's replaced by Sarah Carpenter

-ok now Emma's going down the outright Torture and Sadism route. before she was like 'Im gonna test the question of How Does Fiona Survive Everything' (valid question). then she was like 'I'm gonna test the question of How Long Can An Archival Assistant Be Ignorant Of The Horrors'. (valid question). but now she takes one look at Sarah and goes 'you seem very brave and passionate. I'm gonna test the question of 'How Can I Personally Break You'

-Emma sacrifices Sarah to a Desolation creature

🪦Sarah Carpenter, 19XX-20XX

-Gertrude comes back after sacrificing Michael and goes 'now wait a second. Why's Sarah gone too? I didn't sacrifice her yet'

-Gertrude's not happy with Emma killing half her assistants

-Gertrude meets with Agnes Montague, Agnes confirms that Sarah was killed by a desolation creature and that Emma intentionally did this to her

^first and only time Gertrude and Agnes met

-Gertrude apparently had to ask Elias permission to kill Emma?? Gertrude my love, why do you need to ask Elias permission??

-rip Emma, you died in a fire like you deserve. I still love you but you had it coming.

🪦Emma Harvey, 19XX-20XX

-Gertrude never had any assistants ever again

--post description--

-when Jon makes a statement Martin can't choose to not listen or interrupt. he's forced to hear it. I assume this would be the same for anyone else who's in listening vicinity

-everyone who's not actively trapped in a domain has their own domain that sustains them

-Jon's having a crisis over killing notSasha

-Martin's pretty chill about it. curious about it, even

-HELENN BBG I MISSED YOU <3333

-Helen's excited about Jon's new murder powers, but she's more excited by how uncomfortable it makes Jon

-Helen explains that Jon's murder powers work by switching the roles of Thing That Causes Fear with Thing That Is Afraid, which can destroy avatars and such

-Jon doesn't like that he's having such a great time in the apocalypse and that he kinda wants to go kill more avatars

-Martin loves the idea of murder <333

-Martin wants Jon to do a lot more murder <333

-Jon found a merry-go-round 'thrilling' at some point

--end of description--

-Jon hates poetry

-ouuuuuh Helen,,,,, girl's out here blaming Jon for All This

-and then when Jon says that she could have helped prevent All This she goes 'yeah but by that logic Georgie and Melanie are equally guilty'
