I remember Gerard Keay being so certain there was no power in the other emotions outside of fear... But this is now twice in a row we see those outside emotions playing significant roles in derailing evil. For the Slaughter, it's empathy. For the desolation, it was hope........ Hell, I remember that backpacker who felt alone when overwhelmed by a faceless crowed, and was able to get out by remembering his connection to his mother. They are spelling out that even though there are no suped-up avatars of these other feels, they Can be used as a tool against the powers. Hope Jon figures that out sooner rather than later.

@DerMoerpler 3 жыл бұрын

Also the Buried. When Jon was in the coffin, it was described as the weight of all of your guilt crushing you. But in all of the statements where people escaped The Buried, it was because they stopped fighting and accepted their fate (at least the woman on the train and the guy in the flood, but I think it goes for all of them). So by accepting your guilt and your mistakes and no longer fighting them, you can escape the Buried.

@TheNitpickChick 3 жыл бұрын

It makes sense. The entities feed on fear. When someone is able to latch onto another emotion or thought to anchor them, their fear lessens, thus lessening the entity’s ability to fully consume them. With the statements about people escaping the Buried, acceptance and calm staved off their panic and fear, so they were let go. In “Lost in the Crowd” the statement giver was almost lost to the Lonely, but anchored themself with reminders that there was still at least someone out there who they were close with and who loves them, their mother. Those thoughts of home calmed their mind, redirecting it from thoughts of fear, and they were let go. Fear is what traps you. If you find a way to conquer the fear, the entities can’t fully claim you. They might still hurt you. They might still leave a mark. But you’ll probably live. At least that’s my theory. ☺️

something that continually stands out to me as one of the most tragic aspects of these entities, is how it affects children. I can’t stop thinking about Trevor Herbert watching his brother dying, Gerard Keay being born into a terrifying world he wanted no part of, Jon finding the Leitner and witnessing the death of his bully, etc. Agnes is one of the saddest. She was born as her mother was immolated, raised to spearhead a cult, and in the end she died just because she had the thought that she had the possibility of living a normal life. It’s so sad to see how these entities don’t have any reservations about destroying children’s lives as well as adults. It’s like Tim said in season 3, it all comes down to bad luck. Idk it just makes me sad I guess

The Stranger has also been halted twice by people just waltzing in and blowing the ritual up. For all of their preparation, the Stranger seems to take very little precaution against intruders. The Slaugher's ritual died with a whimper when they just ran out of steam, and the Flesh's ritual, it could be argued, was halted due its excessive requirements. It took days of throwing meat into a hole in the ground and very unsubtly hauling it around town in trucks. It was day three of the ritual before Gertrude finally got around to blowing it up.

I feel the reason Agnes can crumble from the smallest slice of doubt but Jon is plagued with it constantly is by the nature of their entities. There is no room for hesitation in a bonfire. There is material and there is the steady march of heat as it all is consumed and then reduced. But The Eye is all about perceptions. It’s about knowing and not knowing and anxiety and speculation and DOUBT. The Eye relishes in Jon’s doubt whereas The Desolation is antithetical to hesitance, which is why Agnes was brought down by it, being such a pure manifestation of her entity.

Yeah. I feel like her charactization changes based on the statement giver. First, she was a mysterious troubled child, someone who gave the 'kindly' Mr. Fielding so much grief. Then, she was an odd child who saved the protag from being served to Mr. Spider. Next, she was a beautiful, thoughtful woman who seemed to long to be normal. Now she's a spoiled brat, who used to have a nasty temper. And possibly took pleasure in the hurting of others.

@xxzavier42 6 күн бұрын

⁠@@mechengr1731I’m pretty sure her being described as a spoiled brat was just a description of her childhood and described how much the lightless flame struggled to raise her. Also the fact that multiple people died because of her upbringing probably made Eugene upset. But also she was literally born and baptized by the flame and wasn’t able to talk to or interact with many people her age due to her power. It’s understandable that she’d be not that well adjusted. But also he did say she was considerate and quiet and willing to learn. I’m pretty sure her enjoying the idea of the desolation came from her being raised and born to the fire. Honestly this description seems slightly biased but mostly positive. It’s clear that the lightless flame cared for her and she cared for them. Also the fact that she felt doubt proves that she likely wanted a normal life.

My heart breaks for Agnes 💔 She never had a choice

Its almost strange getting the other half of this story. The first one is definitely one of the saddest episodes in my heart, and I feel like this sort of makes it sadder especially now that we know what happened to her

yah I just relistened to both the episodes back to back, agnes is such a tragic story and it's amazing how much it makes you feel despite basically being a background character that we never even hear talk

To not have a destiny must be nice. I have so many feelings about Agnes

I always thought that Agnes died because that guy cut down that tree, am i mixing this up with something else

@mechengr1731 2 жыл бұрын

Well, I think we were led to assume that. But im not sure now

@Idran Жыл бұрын

I think it's the other way around: Agnes dying is why Lensik had the sudden urge to pull down the tree

Oh boy. I have a feeling that this episode is foreshadowing something. You know I just had a funny thought. What if the "wachter's crown" was an actual crown and was being kept in Elias's safe. If this is true I'm going to commit arson.

Jon, about Martin: I need him to be okay. Me, ( *absolutely* ) losing it slightly: That's what Martin said about Jon before the Unknowing.

That IS Lukas's audio queue, so I think it means that The Lonely is fighting Jon as he tries to SEE into it. At least that's how I interpreted that.

i did hear peter’s audio queue at the end, but i kinda envisioned it as jon knocking things off of his desk in pain

@ZealTroublemaker Ай бұрын

Jon groaning never gets old but also never stops making me ever so slightly uncomfortable. I know it’s usually because he’s in pain or struggling physically with something but I can’t help but be sliiiiightly uncomfortable.
