Just got an ad that was formatted like: person in some big country needs organ transplant and a kid somewhere in the provinces went missing and then it followed with a clip of Milei talking about selling organs being a market too and urging people to protect their children from him. Needless to say it gave me whiplash.
#luly talks#the name of the ad was no te comas el cuento (dont eat up the tale)#by the third case i already realized where it was going to but milei still jumpscared me#i hate propaganda im not gonna lie in favor or not it annoys me#but i remain neutral on it like i recognize it deserves to exist#a thing to point out though is how they specifically picked ppl who ''deserved'' what they got#like the first guy was a German (just realized the fucking joke going on) who needed a new liver and his pic was in a bar#second was a woman who needed a heart no biggie there#and third was a japanese i think man shown smoking who did not quit and now needed a lung#and its like they're trying to antagonize the fucking Dying People sufferings from addictions which i think is looow#also yes the girl sharing dead name w me jumpscared me too i felt like that one DiCaprio meme#argieblr#argieposting

How could we ever just be friends?
König x male reader
“C’mon Big guy, don’t keep me waiting!!” You yelled at the tall Austrian man who couldn’t peal his eyes away from the fireworks that adorned the sky. His pupils practically looked dilated as he stared in awe. You admired him for a bit, smiling as he could barely look away, every colour and pattern enticing him more to stay and not break eye contact.
“Ich komme…I mean!! I’m coming.” He ran up to you so fast you felt as if he might just tackle you into the snow, which he has done of several occasions. The tall Austrian towered over you, bouncing on his heels like a child, he was excited for you to spend time with him in his hometown. You were overjoyed to just be in his presence. The blue irises in his eyes melt every time you were around him, it was something you could easily lose yourself in. What a magnificent sight. But you were blind to this obvious hints, as was he to yours.
“Y/N?”
“Yes?” You didn’t break eye contact, his gaze enticing like the fireworks so you stared back at him with the same admiration. He crouched down a bit to your height to stare deeper into your eyes, you couldn’t help the feeling of immense feelings overshadow you. The feeling to just reach out, lunge your arms around his neck and kiss him through the balaclava version of his mask which you quite frankly were fond of.
“König—“
“Scheiße, you’re turning red, are you running a fever?” He put his gloved hands on your face, expecting to feel your temperament through them. This not only amused but flustered you, you let out an airy laugh, the coldness causing a mist as you did so. “What are you laughing at we need to get you to-“
You cut him off by pulling him lower to your height, cupping his face with your gloved hands, “Big guy. You really are something, you know that?”
“Th..Thank you?” König said with confusion, studying your face for signs of sickness, “Y/N..? Do you want to sit down?” He leaned more closer as the fondness in your eyes went over his head.
“How can someone such as yourself be so slow on the uptake.” You let go of him, walking away towards a small little antic shop. He followed behind, “What does that mean?” He opened the door for you, the jingle of the bell giving him a mini jumpscare. You glanced up at him as you walked inside, the warmth welcoming you in, “Nothing. Don’t wrap your head around it for too long.”
“You know English isn’t my first language..” He complained, closing the door behind you and looking around. The store was completely fragile, glancing at the items made him tense up, he even had to duck to just get inside. “You’ve got to be kidding me...” He mumbled in German. You knew what you were doing by bringing him into here.
“Hey König, come see this~” You said teasingly as you gestured to the ceramic bowls. He practically tiptoed and sucked his breath in to avoid touching anything, it was like bringing an elephant into a room made of glass. Or that’s how he felt.
“Looks. Great. Wow.” He said stiffly to which you moved deeper into the store. König just stood there, afraid to move an inch, his eyes widened however when he stared directly at a cat on the shelf. Then those eyes softened the same way it does when he looks at you.
While the tall guy was distracted you browsed around, grabbing the item you came here for. “That’ll be 20 euros.” The shop clerk said in German as she smiled at you while you handed her the money, “What a precious gift young man, who’s the lucky lady getting this?” Somehow with your limited German you could put the sentence together and understand.
You could only chuckle before gesturing to the dangerous mountain of a man who was petting a cat. “He’s the lucky lady~” You said in English.
She could only stare, frightened that he might squish her cat to death just by petting it. “Well.. you know what they say about Austrians..” She began to speak back in English to you.
“No? What do they say?” You leaned in, curious.
“That it’s all in the eyes.”
“Come again?”
“What’s the first thing you noticed when you saw that man other than his height.” She continued, you let out a gasp of realisation, “It’s all in the eyes, Sonny.”
“Oh my god, you’re right. Thank you, Lady.” You grabbed your item, pocketing it.
“Hey wait-“
“Keep the change.” You said to her before grabbing König by his arm and dragging him away, he said goodbye to the shop clerk in his native tongue and to the cat while you pulled him out the store, he instinctively ducked and when you two were finally out you let him go to stare.
“What’s up?” He asked confused by the sudden change of behaviour but kinda used to it by now. “I should be asking you that.” You practically stormed into town square, leaving König to run after you rather confused. “Y/N?! Did I do something—“
“Are you trying to seduce me.” You made direct eye contact, he genuinely couldn’t tell what emotions you were showing, a problem he found out when you two first met. The Austrian soldier looked up at the fireworks for a second, collecting himself before grabbing your chin with his index finger and thumb. His eyes were now half lidded as they sent chills down your spine.
“Would you like me to seduce you?”
You simply stared back dumbfounded, lost for words. Utterly flabbergasted. You tried to register those words in your head again, not believing König out of all people said that to you. You always saw him as doormat from the first time you joined the military. You were so used of being top of everything, in control, making people lose their words, choke on their breath and catch them by surprise. How the turntables.
“You..I…uhm…” Your words weren’t wording. König got the biggest kick by doing this and you had no idea how someone like him was able to gain the upper hand against you. As if he could read your mind, he let go putting a hand on your shoulder, “Sorry. Didn’t mean to do that~” You knew by the tone of his voice he wasn’t genuine so your eyes hardened, resorting to glare to try mask a side you didn’t know existed.
König leaned down to your height and you froze up yet again, he knew very well what he was doing as he lowered himself towards your ear, “Lass uns nach Hause gehen.” He glanced at you before walking towards a bus stop.
You took out the music box from your pocket that you bought him, wanting to just throw it at his head for no reason whatsoever other than the fact he made you fall deeper. You wanted to mask yourself again, this time with hatred. You hated how König was breaking through and causing cracks in your facade, hated how he nearly saw right through you.
“C’mon Little guy, don’t keep me waiting.” You heard him say.
You felt your eye twitch before turning to him slowly, those half lidded eyes staring into your soul. You could smell the smirk across his face now. The fireworks continued as they were in the background, you could see the colours reflect off of König. He was still a magnificent sight.
“How could we ever just be friends….” You whispered inaudibly, pocketing the gift and following close behind him. König slowed down so he was next to you, unsurprisingly making a move by putting his arm over your shoulder.
“Guess you’re a bit slow on the uptake too.”

cannot begin to explain how badly i was just jumpscared by finn wolfhard on the living room tv, questionable german dub and all, with some interview for his new ghostbusters movie that's coming out tomorrow apparently, i was literally just watching a movie with my parents. i know the man has a career or whatever but people from my tumblr gifs should not be allowed to show up during prime time commercials, this is an even worse colliding of worlds than when my local radio jockey started fangirling about joe keery and interrupted a hit count down to play his music
#living in a non english speaking country it's so jarring whenever international celebrity culture leaks through when i'm offline#bc there's only small local celebrities to meet on the streets#and unless you're watching a celebrity gossip show you're not seeing interviews with bigger celebs#this is the first time i've Ever seen a bts interview with an actor as a promo commercial but okay go off ig good for him#extreme jumpscare though#this is like seeing your teacher at the store but it's guy who plays blorbo form the shows on the family tv#(also the joe keery jockey is still going on about him. keeps gushing about him too. he's playing him every other day alkdfjlakjfd)

Overanalyzing The Juniper Tree concerning Wick
HELLO EVERYONE! This is my second Wick theory posted here and I'm glad that I decided to do The Juniper Tree because Oh My God. There's SO much packed into this fairytale.
Long post ahead.
Anyway, for some context: what is The Juniper Tree? Well, it's an old, dark German fairytale that is featured in Journal Page 29 (aka the one related to Caleb)
Well, technically the actual fairytale isn't word-for-word written like how it is in Wick, but still. It's literally a variant of The Juniper Tree. Most people assume this is a poem made by Hellbent Games themselves just to be like “Yeah Mary killed Caleb lol” but it's a full fairytale published by the Brothers Grimm.
So, what are the themes, before we get into all the passages? Well...
Child abuse, murder, CANNIBALISM, and biblical symbolism. Very much in line with Wick, especially Caleb. Be warned, however, the cannibalism thing is an absolute jumpscare if you're reading it for the first time.
Anyway let's get started.
Alright, first things first is that the mom dies during childbirth and another woman (the stepmom) takes her place. Do I think this has any heavy relevance to Wick? Not really. It could be symbolic with Mary, as in once she had Caleb the past her “died”.
The next part about the stepmom loving her daughter but hating her stepson to the point of abuse suggests something not many consider... Caleb, like Tim and Tom, was abused by Mary as well. You'd think for seeming to be the golden child of the family, Mary wouldn't do that to Caleb, but expectations aren't always reality. I mean, none of the items relating to Caleb mentions anything about Mary caring for him, and Old Man Edwards even talks about how Mary seemingly neglected all of her kids. Of course, it'd extend to Caleb.
Another thing is that “the Evil One” is referenced throughout the story. This is a title of, obviously, the devil. Considering that throughout Wick, there are implications of another supernatural entity, likely a demon, haunting the Weaver family before their deaths... yeah, this is just more evidence.
And now we come to the son's... very fucked up death. This reminds me of how it's sometimes theorized that before being buried alive, Caleb had been struck in the head by the shovel. Like, the “DIG THIS!” achievement's picture shows Caleb being hit with, you guessed it, a shovel. If you look closely at Caleb's model's face, he looks to have some scarring on his face.
Another thing about this scene is the son saying “Mother, how angry you look. Yes, give me an apple.” almost feels... defiant in a way? Even if he's always afraid, he still fights back in his own way. This could be how Caleb was as well.
We now have a name for the daughter: Marlene. Or well, in the original English translation, it's Marlinchen, but I'll still use Marlene for simplicity.
This part of the story possibly gives insight into the aftermath of Caleb's disappearance/death. Caleb was likely not fully buried but still died, which left Lillian (who is obviously in the place of Marlene, she is the only daughter after all) to find the body. Being younger, and also the closest to Caleb via the version of the fairytale in the Journal, was devastated.
And then comes the... really fucked up part.
I don't have much to discuss for this, since this part was seemingly removed in the Journal's version. But seriously, this is actually messed up. The dad, largely absent until now, unknowingly EATS HIS OWN SON. The absence of the dad certainly fits with John being absent during the war.
First off is Marlene gathering her brother's bones and tying them up in her (best) scarf before lying them beneath the juniper tree. Like the stepmom killing the son, this matches up with the Journal's version of the fairytale. Lillian likely reburied Caleb, but while Mary was malevolent in burying him alive, Lillian put thought and care into burying Caleb's body as seen in the rags he's wearing in-game. (Another thing is the “crying tears of blood” which makes me think of Lillian's design in No Way Out.)
Second off is the firey entrance of a bird (specified to be a crow in the Journal's version). Fire obviously reminds us of Mary's death, which we will get to later. The bird, if it isn't obvious enough, is the son reborn, and sings atop a goldsmith's house his sad tale. This brings us back to the start of our journey, the Journal's version of this line of dialogue.
I'll skip some of this, but in short, the bird goes to three locations. A goldsmith, a shoemaker, and a mill. Each time, he sings his tale to the people there, who want him to sing it just once again. He's defiant, telling them he'll only do it if they give him something in return.
The goldsmith gives him a golden chain, the shoemaker gives him a pair of red shoes, and the mill workers give him a millstone. The first two are easy, but what in the world is a millstone? Well, it's a stone used for grinding grain and apparently corn. We'll see what it's used for in a short bit.
The bird returns to his father's house! As shown, the dad is happy while the stepmom and Marlene are upset (for different reasons). After this, the bird sets himself on the juniper tree and sings his tale again.
Of course, the stepmom is practically losing it due to the presence of the bird and his singing, but the dad thinks otherwise. He decides to go out and see the bird despite his wife's anxiety.
Quite an interesting line, considering Mary's fate.
Once the bird finishes, he drops the golden chain as a gift to his dad. In response, the dad goes back inside and despite his pleasant encounter, the stepmom is terrified to the point of falling onto the floor. Holy shit. Anyway, the bird sings once more.
Marlene decides that she'll go out and see if the bird will give her something as well. And as the bird finishes, he drops the pair of red shoes down to her as a gift. Marlene became content and happy, putting on the new shoes and going back into the house.
In response, the stepmom...
The stepmom goes out to see if she'll be given something as well. Technically, it did happen. The bird dropped the millstone onto her, instantly killing her. We're back to Mary's death. And even after this, everything related to fire rises, and from that appears the son, no longer a bird, stew, or a corpse.
I don't think this is a “Caleb set the fire” type of thing. There's more evidence for the twins and the pastor anyway. What I do think this could lead us to is that Caleb at least saw it as a ghost.
Besides that, the line of the dad, son, and Marlene happily going inside and eating is the ending to The Juniper Tree. Which marks my ending to this post!
Thank you for reading my (probably over) analysis of the fairytale concerning Wick's lore. What do you guys think? Do you have any other thoughts about how the story could connect with Wick's lore?

How would the characters in your aus react to their counterparts in your other aus and the cannon like lab au reacting to mp, alt and cannon
Oh boy this is. gonna be a bit long- /lh
The Gabriels: LT Gabriel is. terrified. watching as Lab Gabriel rambles about their accomplishments and seeing Alt Gabriel stand in the corner looking like they're going to kill all of them at any moment.
The Preachers: The polite nun from the alt au, an evil scientist, and the entity that works for a powerful evil entity. Amanda keeps talking about herself and it gets on everyone's nerves.
The Intruders: Sam and Seth are. staring judgingly at both canon Six, and MP Six. What the fuck do you mean you steal children-
The N's: Canon N can't speak english, Lab N can't speak at all, and Alt au Nathan is terrified and muttering in German-
The Cesars: Honestly? Pretty chill aside from. Alt Cesar who keeps creeping the others out. Alt au Cesar keeps asking questions about Lab Cesar that sometimes get on his nerves but other than that they're chill. They shun alt Cesar.
The Marks: Both of them stare at Alt Mark. very judgingly. both of them are scared of him. Canon Mark is also scared of Lab Mark for just. "What the FUCK happened to you-"
The Sarahs: They are chilling. exchanging stories about the bullshit they have to deal with. MP Sarah talking about Adam's Parasite, Lab Sarah talking about the tests done at the lab, Canon Sarah talking about the MCPD-
The Evelins: Around the same as Sarah. They're chilling. Alt AU Eve mentions that Dave's an alternate and the others just STARE at her-
The Adams: Chaos. Alt Adam's being an asshole as usual, Lab Adam is fine with Canon Adam, and MP Adam seems normal until he mentions that he doesn't feel very good and then PARASITE JUMPSCARE-
The Jonahs: Canon Jonah is. TERRIFIED by the other Jonahs. One is missing a head, one is partially skinned and hung up like a puppet, and the others a fucking GOAT CAMEL THING. Not one mentally nor physically okay man in that room.
The Thatchers: All of them are staring at Alt Thatcher like. Bro what the fuck happened to you. Lab Thatcher is the only one not horrified because he's used to seeing things like that. Better hope MP Thatcher is from before he was infected because otherwise they'd ALSO have to deal with the stupid Parasite-
The Ruths: They're chilling. Hell, even alt Ruth is having a good time. Like. She knows she should be killing them but she's having fun hanging out with them and learning their behaviors-
The Daves: All of them are staring at Lab Dave judgingly. (Except for Alt Dave cause. you know-) Bro. Not cool. Two of them are dead-
#asks are neat#tmc alternate au#tmc labrats au#mandela prophet#They should all hang out I think. for the funny

I don't believe I've shared this!!! Theodore's family as of January 1945: His father who attempted to make himself a lich, his mother who was his father's hostage, and himself.
Design notes:
I've always imagined Theo is the spitting image of his father, even with the differences of age and facial hair (Theo can grow his out but chooses not to). They share similar facial structure, hair color, and skin tone. Their jaws are more square shaped than Victoria's.
Vincent has narrower, more scrutinizing eyes. Theo has his mother's eyes, round and brown; the most distinct trait he shares with her. His have a slight pink undertone as a result of the Wild Magic concentrated in him—which he also got from Victoria's side.
The faint shimmery print woven into Vincent's tie and the lining of his jacket imitate the sheen of crow feathers. Overall I wanted his darker color palette to allude to the crow. This comes from their family name, von Kraehenbuehl, which means "crow hill" in Swiss German.
Vincent has always been a slender man (JUMPSCARE). He is quite handy with both firearms and melee weapons—a competent businessman must know his own wares!—but maintains a lean figure.
Theo carries more fat than his father. Muscle also contributes to the density of his build, but it lacks obvious definition.
Victoria is quite slim now, but in future designs I will have her regain the weight she lost in this stressful period of her life (her son enlisting to contribute magical force to the frontlines; her husband becoming increasingly corrupt and quite literally taking her hostage).
#blood#digital art#paint tool sai#ocs#original character#dnd#dungeons and dragons#overlord#theodore#vincent#victoria#drawing wwii era attire is fun#wwii#ww2#oh yeah vincent was killed lmfao#he was a war profiteer selling weapons to everyone including the nazis#and a shit husband. so byee#artists on tumblr

Rebels Rewatch: "Hera's Heroes"
*whispers* Is our favorite blue bastard back? Oh you betcha.
The episode title seems to be a reference to Hogan's Heroes, an old boomer-era TV show dark comedy sitcom about a P.O.W. camp in Nazi Germany.
...No listen, the charm is, I'm told, that the German officers are portrayed as bumbling idiots and the P.O.W.s basically run an entire clandestine resistance campaign right under their noses. So there are all kinds of shenanigans involved and a lot of taking the piss out of the Axis Powers and honestly some of it seems right in line with what kind of mischief the Rebels have been known to get into so the shoutout makes sense to me.
Anyway.
Cham and Numa return!
"The Empire is getting better at anticipating our moves!" Ha ha yeah he... he has a tendency to do that. It's a little scary sometimes.
Now taking bets on whether or not Thrawn showing up on Ryloth was premeditated in order to draw the Spectres out.
"My daughter is always serious." Lol, love how this joke comes back later.
This music cue is great, I love it. Lot of rapid build-up to the serious horn variation of "Shenanigans".
"You didn't think this through did you?" LOL love that awkward little noise the Scout Trooper makes, he's just like, "Oh..."
Zeb being a perfect big brother asking Ezra if he has the Scout Trooper set yet and knocking out the trooper awww.
Hugs! Lovely to see that Cham and Hera have repaired their relationship.
Yeeeeeeah I don't think it was Slavin that you underestimated, Cham. I think it's pretty heavily suggested it was actually Thrawn who ousted y'all from the house there.
Hera is a bit reluctant to include everyone in what's arguably a very personal and selfish mission but they're all for it, so into the fray we go.
I think I may have had a little mourning moment the first time I watched this, upon the realization that Ezra doesn't fit in his cadet uniform anymore.
Zeb nudging Kanan in the arm to let him know it's time to charge out. <333 And Sabine grabbing his wrist and keeping hold of it until they're both on the blurrg. See, little touches like this are great, just a nice subtle way of showing Kanan's blindness without calling direct attention to it.
Some really nice Hera and Ezra interaction this episode, I really liked that, they don't get to be on missions together much so this is refreshing.
Do we know if this is a reused asset from TCW? Looks almost too nice to be one lol.
:((((((
Droids can have PTSD apparently, Chopper is unusually sad about this crashed Y-wing, grieving his former pilot maybe?
*strains ears* This soft music-box like cue almost sounds like Leia's theme. It's too short and buried under the dialogue for me to tell and even Clone Gunner Commander Jedi doesn't have it extracted.
HHFHFHFFFFFHH FRICK.
The man can jumpscare me just walking into a room, gah.
"The Rebel activity is far from here." As Ezra and Hera are literally sneaking past them lol told you the reference to Hogan's Heroes was deliberate.
Oooh the harp in this cue, nice!
Chopper's finally over his drama in order to assist.
We return to Hera and co. after a brief setpiece back in the canyon and Chopper readily plays "malfunctioning droid" again for a distraction.
Hera smoothly slipping back into her Ryloth accent to try and deflect suspicion. <3
Ezra trying to at least stay next to her even if he can't break cover.
Thrawn already totally knows it's Hera.
Ohhhhh boy it's time for creepy Cultural Appropriation!Thrawn, with him analyzing the details of his opponents' culture and traditions in order to find ways to hurt and oppress them more effectively for the Empire.
Since he studied up on Twi'lek culture he knows what a kalikori is, and its significance. Therefore he knew immediately that someone trying to smuggle one out of the compound would have to have some kind of personal emotional connection to it. This kalikori was found in Cham Syndulla's office, ergo, family of Cham Syndulla. Ergo, obviously, Hera Syndulla, noted Rebel insurgent.
See I kind of like this method of showing Thrawn's "strategic art analysis", which was practically magic bullshit in the original Heir To The Empire trilogy. Thrawn comes across as brilliant but not OP here, instead.
By the way, "Thrawn's Web" is the perfect musical leitmotif for him. Creepy plinky music box notes giving way to slowly building cathedral organs, ominous and refined.
I almost feel like I need to take a shower after this exchange it's so freaking creepy. Thrawn almost exotifies Hera here, breathlessly gushing and envious about how she was "forged" by war, while he merely studies it from the outside.
Making Hera the primary rival/foil to Thrawn was a really inspired decision for Rebels, contrasting her passion to his apathy, her warmth to his cold sterility. The villainous respect he has for her makes their interactions cordial with a hostile edge.
Plus, with all his focus on Hera, identifying her as the primary threat, he completely misses all the Force Bullshit that Kanan and Ezra are capable of throwing at him lol.
After all, he repeats the idea, "To defeat an enemy you must know them." and as he later confesses to Ezra in the finale he doesn't know the Force.
(It's almost impossible for him to know, Palpatine has spent so much effort destroying and hoarding other Force disciplines. Way to screw yourself Palps.)
Worried spacemom when Thrawn stuns Ezra. <33333
:((((
Thrawn's picky insistence on using the "correct" pronunciation of Hera's name is also creepy.
Thrawn: "Really too bad you're probably gonna be executed immediately. Anyway I'm taking your family heirloom for my art collection, definitely not as some kind of sick trophy of my besting you noooooo not at all." Hera: "Kriff you, bastard!"
Thanking Hera for her "hospitality" when the Empire literally invaded and occupied her house, he's such an asshole. It's great. I love him.
Ngl, not gonna lie, really dig Feral!Thrawn. I have a thing about seeing normally calm, stoic characters just completely lose their shit and go berserk. ('s'why I took Thrawn through a slow Villainous Breakdown in my "Mirrorverse" series.) Even this brief loss of control is just *mwah*.
"What'd I miss?" He's so cute.
"And my daughter is not important?!" Awww, see, character growth!
Love this conversation, Ezra reassuring Hera that he doesn't regret coming along to support her on this.
Chopper running full tilt into Ezra lol.
Hera gave the murderbot permission to find and plant explosives, uh-oh, ha ha.
Caps that could easily be watercolor paintings number 337.
Slavin seems very confident and snooty. Something that becomes a pattern on the show is that Thrawn will let more incompetent underlings fail so he can learn more about the Rebels, will set them up to fail sometimes.
Also something I noticed before but this little moment reminded me, the Stormtroopers tend to be pretty rough with Ezra, they're always shoving at him or manhandling him for absolutely no reason, they're just petty.
Chopper laughing maniacally as he plants the detonators. <3
"You were serious?!" You're the one who said she was always serious my dude, lol.
Impressive move from Kanan, redirecting that rocket at the AT-DP.
You know I think maybe Thrawn likes the cat and mouse thrill, obviously he sacrifices smaller victories for eventual much larger ones but I also think he's just really into having a worthy opponent.
Preeeeeettyyyyyyyyyy.
Hera talking about how her mother's memory is kept alive via the love that Hera's Found Family shares, while Zeb is giving Ezra noogies in the background aaaaah I love it.
I think I remember wanting this episode to have been a little longer??? Not quite sure why I thought that now, maybe I just really wanted more of it at the time.
Thrawn gets his first personal up-close encounter with the Spectres and even if he's hands off about actually closing the trap on them this episode we can tell he's got major plans coming, and is factoring what he learned about Hera specifically into them for later. This did annoy certain fanbros who forgot that this was Thrawn's whole thing and decided it was Plot Armor because kids show but frankly I ignore those types of people and my fandom experience is better for it.
As I already said, love the Hera-Ezra interaction, love the music, this episode is honestly a bit laid-back and unassuming compared to the tense premiere and dramatic previous episodes. Lulls you into a false sense of security. Just like Thrawn. XD
I'll be talking more about him later, trust me, I have Opinions™.

MAG 127 Relisten
Activity on my first listen: putting up a new fence.
This is the last of the Remains Trilogy! (MAG 40 Human Remains, MAG 92 Nothing Besides Remains, and now MAG 127 Remains to be Seen).
"Jonah. I must first and foremost decline your generous offer of a medical position servicing Millbank Penitentiary." / "I do not know what interest you have in the poor condemned souls within those walls, nor do I care to guess."
I think this is the first time we hear about Jonah being affiliated with Millbank Prison?
"I have for these last months come to the unfortunate conclusion that our intimacy and friendship must cease immediately."
Oh no!
What's up with the tree?
"Albrecht’s wife Carla"
So her name war Carla, not Clara?
The fan transcript has an error in the German line, it's "Leg sie alle zurück", not "ala". "Alle" means "all". So taken super literally more of a "Put them all back"/"Put all of them back"?
"He turned back to me. 'You do not understand,' he said to me in German. 'I do not read the books. They read me.'"
If anyone's curious, it would be "Sie verstehen nicht. Ich lese die Bücher nicht. Sie lesen mich." in German. Or maybe "Du verstehst nicht", don't know if they would be on familiar friendly or polite formal terms. I’d be guessing formal, but Fanshawe does call Albrecht by his first name in the statement...
"I became convinced that removing the books would go some way to addressing his health concerns. I expected some stiff resistance on the subject, but Albrecht’s response seemed closer to relief than any sort of distress."
I mean, he asked him to put them back?
JON: "Disconcerting to find my namesake in a statement"
Can relate. Feels like a jumpscare xD I was very surprised to find my name in a statement because I thought it is rather rare to encounter it in English-speaking areas.
JON: "Whatever is happening now has its origins two hundred years ago, in the work of an evil man."
The plot of TMA without context!
JON: "Something’s coming. I know it is."
Jonah must be so happy to get his little nightmare kingdom right on time for the 200 years anniversary of the Institute.
JON: (long sigh) "Just another scar for the collection."
Does that count as foreshadowing? It certainly works very well to make us feel for Jon.
BASIRA: "…And what was that you were doing yesterday?"
JON: "…When?"
Ohhh, I was wondering last episode if he already went to get a live statement boost (because at the beginning of MAG 126 he winces, so he was still in pain, which got me thinking). I’d say it happened a day before this episode^^ And right here Jon was afraid he got busted.
JON: "It’s – hard. It’s like there’s a, a door, in my mind. A-a-and behind it is, is the entire ocean.
Before, I didn’t notice it, but now, I – I know it’s there, and I can’t forget it, and I can feel the pressure of the water on it. I – I can keep it closed? (sigh) But sometimes, when I’m around p-people, or.. places, or.. ideas? A drop or two will push through the cracks at the edges of the door. And I’ll… know something."
This and the bit in the S5 trailer remind me so much of intrusive thoughts/bad memories popping up again and again. You're kind of aware that they are waiting, so you have to keep control over your thoughts at all times. There can be triggers which make them seep through occasionally.
Basira getting abandoned by Martin without any explanation is vital to understand why she's so distrustful now. Plus maybe the fact, that she didn't notice Melanie being influenced by one of the Fears? So she's even more wary now.
ELIAS: "Maybe I – just wanted to have a chat."
This season is peak smugness of Elias.
BASIRA: "So what’s with the recorder? Who gave it to you?"
ELIAS: "Oh, no. That – that really did just appear in my cell."
Elias already thought Jon coming to the Institute marked by the Web was a blessing of the Spider. Guessing this could also be a "sign" for him to carry on? He's so close to winning after all. And after this he arranges Breekon to bring the coffin.
BASIRA: "Do you know what they are?"
ELIAS: "What a question."
Does he? Do we ever find out? Can't remember...
ELIAS: "Possibly. Then again, you are beset by enemies on all sides, Basira. And, unless you expect John to record them into submission, it would seem you are in rather dire need of another option."
Jon, next episode, does exactly that! (I know, Jon's the warlock who doesn't know he's a warlock. But right now with his current powers I rather see him as a bard because of the rather passive, supportive powers and bards are not to be underestimated!)
So, did Elias tell Basira that he’ll have the coffin delivered? She does immediately know that Daisy’s in there...
