@theprideling 3 жыл бұрын

I love all of the subtle hints that Jon and Georgie know each other super well, or at least used to. The "you've been weird all day" is the kind of thing you say to someone you've known for YEARS, the way he casually but sincerely compliments how she's dressed up, the affectionate teasing about dates and food preferences... it's so SOFT. I think we needed to see this side of Jon after S2, and Georgie's just so perfect a character to bring it out in him. It definitely helps that her voice is so effortlessly sweet.

The "oh" at the end as if John forgot he's left the recording on was a nice touch. Here's my theory. The statements and records tell of people who cannot resist the portfolio of whatever eldritch horror they are bound to. John thinks he's entangled or ensorcelled or whatever with The Eye. If any word fits an eye it's Observer. John, as someone who falls under the domain of the Observer, is reading and recording these statements. His reading them is his way of "observing" what's happening.

This statement is like a very long,winding riddle that goes on and on until the answer that doesn't make sense comes, and it wasn't really the answer.

It got worse when I read the transcript out loud myself, like I was calling out to the man who wasn't there, who was me, but it can't be because the man, who was me, does not exist.

@ThatMothThoth. Жыл бұрын

alright time to spin some theories i think the reason that Elias told the detective to just kill him is because the archivist role is permanent until said archivist is dead, maybe he wanted Jon dead because then he could replace him. hence why Elias has been giving Jon statements as Jon still needs to fulfill his purpose i also think that maybe when Leightner said that the eldritch monstrosity couldn't fully enter our world as it was, that implied somewhat that maybe the archive is meant to let the eldritch monstrosity into our world eventually.

I love Georgie and John's interactions so much. Georgie is simply gorgeous and it's really nice to hear John more... Personalised? Less removed paranoid Archivist and more a man in over his head. It's really nice to hear his humor and just him interacting with someone he's clearly comfortable with without any mistrust or fear

this reminds me of this quote from the stanley parable, something about how real people make good choices and if you find yourself with a person who makes bad choices they most likely do not exist, and you should excuse yourself from the situation immediately. i don’t know exactly how they relate, but the vibes are similar.

This story reminds me of the paradoxical phrase “This statement is false.” If it is true then it is false and if it is false then it is true.

Another of these episodes where the horror of the situation is very vague and almost silly, but ungodly horrifying.

I've spent the last week and a half binging episodes when I had some spare time. Safe to say I'm addicted. But this is the first time I'm commenting. But I had to because (a) this might be my favourite episode and (b) it's just so nice to hear Jon talking to someone normal about something normal! Ugh. My heart. I just want this for him so badly. Georgie is awesome. I love her. I really hope she doesn't die.

This is easily one of my favorite statements. Even after watching through to the end, having all the mysteries nearly wrapped up, this one remains just as surreal and mysterious.

It's Stranger and might be related to the statement of Breekon.

As a person who lives less than 20 minutes away, I've never heard Antigonish pronounced that way. It's pronounced similar, just with a hard "anti". I love seeing (hearing) stuff about Nova Scotia in this podcast! adds an extra spook factor :)

TBH most of the stories I am mostly listening more for the archivists story than the statements, but damn i love the way this statement was written. It's sooo good. The writing is strange/cryptic while also being somehow understandable at least somewhat. I laughed at the bit "I was generally curious as to what this man had to offer me, when he didn’t even have enough wherewithal to exist." Also "The walls didn’t look like my house, because there weren’t any, so it was hard to tell what they did look like"

Well, there is an episode for every fear right? Altought I don't know anyone who is afraid of Schrödinger's cat....

But Schroedinger's cat is both alive and dead; this one is about someone who just doesn't exist :3

I remember that poem about the man on the stairs from childhood. It never frightened me, just irritated me-thought it was very silly. Had no idea about the story behind it or reason for the name.
