the switch from the artist making an adjustment to the painting to actually altering her own face was so rapidly jarring. Absolutely brilliant. It was a subtle change, barely noticeable.

The moment she mentioned the pallet knife, I had to double back. And then I had to double back twice. I thought I just spaced out, but no, she just instantly switches. She even mentions "the paints are still out" right before, which makes you think she's gonna do something with the painting and not just start... stabbing herself. The artist becomes the canvas indeed.

Something interesting to note is unlike in TMA, there isn't any obvious way for The Eye to pull the story out of people and make it more coherent, and yet the stories are still well articulated. Could be a creative liberty, but given the attention to detail we got from TMA I'm gonna keep an Eye out. Edit: After rewatching the last episode and this one, I did catch another detail: The Eye may not be there for the statements being taken, but it could well be watching the OIAR staff. All the audio we've been listening to MUST be getting picked up by something, like the tapes from TMA. The computers are one option despite their age since they can somehow do text to speech, but its hard to imagine they can pick up everything we've heard. My guess is its security cameras. We know from TMA that The Eye and its avatars can use them and alter them however they want and the sound that plays whenever a new piece of audio starts sounds like an electronic device switching on.

The eye is involved, but it doesn't feel like we're the eye anymore. The biggest factor being- The Eye listens but doesn't understand. Only one entity understands and that's the web. So, I'm guessing while we are the Web this time. The Web and The Eye are once again working together.

As someone who watched archives, I know about the fears. So far, the fears seem…. Blended. This one seemed similar to the Flesh, but also had hints of the stranger in it. I’m wondering if the fears in this universe are somehow mixed together, makeing new ones?

Well they were never one thing. Smirke made up the Entities out of whole cloth to invent a system of balance for Fear. It tracks that we shouldn’t really be able to clearly differentiate them, as most of the clear-cut stuff in TMA came out of factions who modeled themselves off of Smirke’s theories.

The desire for self perfection on the story giver screams Flesh. Though the delusion with the acid, I think it might have been a delusion where she didn't know it was acid, screams spiral.

They'll likely have a similar narrative function to Gerry Keay. -Gwen is related to Elias Bouchard (the original, not Jonah Magnus). -Gertrude may be alive in this timeline if the institute was successfully burned down. -The two mentions of symbols (The Red Canary thread and the Tattoo statement) likely have to do with a cult. -The third TTS voice will be Elias since the died in the panopticon.

You know, this either has big Nikola energy for a Flesh statement or serious Boneturner vibes for a Stranger one. I have to wonder if they're eventually going to introduce a taxonomy of the fear entities that *doesn't* align perfectly with Smirke's Fourteen. Even in the TMA timeline, Gerry identified that classification system by name and specifically mentioned that it was the one he preferred, which definitely implies that there *were* multiple theoretical models available.

I’ve heard people say that OIAR are Web-aligned, which is reasonable, but I also feel like there’s possibly an Extinction element in there. The computers are - despite their age - digital, and the Entities very rarely interact with that. The Extinction, though, does involve stuff like outdated technologies (I know that the old computer one, Sergei Ushanka’s statement, was meant to be Spiral but that one is definitely a grey area). Plus, Jon and Jonah (he’s definitely Augustus) coming back through the text-to-speech system seems to imply some Extinction themes of what comes after The End.

Fascinating how the Fears are presenting, now. While this seems fairly primarily Flesh, it’s not as explicitly gruesome as usual, and seems almost Spiral-like as well.

Although it’s hard to say if they’re strictly Flesh aligned; I’m also getting elements of Slaughter (the dubstep and the torturous tattooing) and Spiral (affects the minds of their clients?).

Thinking about how they are classifying the statements- they start with a main theme and then have sub-categories that are interchangeable and subjective . I feel like that’s the new focus of the fears; to personalise and run together.

I really love the new intro music. It echoes the motifs of TMA's opener, but seemingly on a much grander scale. Which is fitting, considering how much the scope of the world has expanded. I was a big Magnus fan and I'm so excited to see where this goes :D

I have a ridiculous theory: So, if the fears have travelled to this timeline with Norris, Chester and Augustus, and there were no fears there before, or they manifested differently (evidence: Location of the Institute, its supposed purpose to study gifted adults and children. Problem with this theory: The existence of the OIAR, the muddled fears dichotomy, especially in this ep, with the influence of both the Flesh and Stranger) I would theorize that the fears might try to establish new avatars, because before they are able to spread fear through their servants, they have to create avatars. So, what if each of the statement givers are people who the fears are trying to transform into avatars? I probably should wait a few more episodes to find more examples (or be proven wrong) but with this particular statement giver you can see how they were the one to be given the power to modify their own body, like an avatar would (though there was also Ink5oul, who definitely had something supernatural going on with the leaking tattoo, which throws a wrench in this theory-however, there was apparently a casting call for a tattoo artist character, so maybe they will return as a newly made avatar)

I relate to this story so much because social media used to do a number on me and because of it made me really insecure. Leaves you in a spiral of always wanting to fit up to others and your own standards of perfection and beauty

Instead of the eye spying on workers, its cameras, i think at least. So far this has been really good and im really looking forward to hearing more of it. I am finding it hard however to separate it from tma, in the way where im trying to not expect the same storyline and characters and fears. But im also looking forward to seeing how it expands from the original story.
