I do find it annoying how a lot of Zutara fans tweak the character's stories, personalities and even the timelines to suit their own needs.

Once again, there's nothing wrong with fanon and headcanons, however if looking through the lense of canon, you're objectively wrong.

I ended up stumbling on a post from a Zutara shipper. (At this point I'm regretfully considering not following the tags for Zuko or Katara because I get way too much Zutara content lol) I'm not replying directly to her because I don't want this to turn into an argument, and I know she doesn't take criticism very well.

Ok, So let's break this down.

The character who was first out of the group to trust Zuko?

I'm quite sure this is referring to the scene in Ba Sing Se's caves. And yes, that is a very important scene. I think it's a very important scene preceeding Zuko's 'relapse'. It shows how he's matured during his time in Ba Sing Se and therefore it serves to add to our dismay when he joins Azula. I adore the fact that Zuko's journey to redemption is not linear, it certainly adds a lot to the character and shows us how his trauma affected him.

It's also a horrific moment for Katara. To have her worldview on Zuko and firebenders as a whole challenged, and then for it to go blowing up in her face. It rips open old wounds of her childhood. It refreshes her resentment of Zuko and the Fire Nation as a whole. It parallels the death of her mother when Aang dies due to Azula's lighting and she is unable to do anything about it. It places her back in that spot of helplessness. Even though she's grown up, even though she's a master waterbender, she still comes a hair's breadth to losing one of the most important people in her life.

No wonder she hated Zuko so much after this.

It's an important moment for both characters, but I wouldn't say it is that in a romantic sense. It's a sweet, hopeful moment that then turns absolutely horrific and visceral for both parties.

I could argue that there are other characters who could be given the title of 'first to trust Zuko'. Funnily, Appa being one of them lol.

But other characters trusting Zuko dovetails nicely into the next point.

The character who emotionally connects to Zuko?

Well, technically, I'd argue that most members of the Gaang connect emotionally on one level or another with him?

But I'd argue that Aang is the person Zuko connected with the most. Aang is Zuko's parallel. Aang is the first person to reach out to Zuko. Aang is the person who showed mercy to Zuko, multiple times. Aang is the person who valued Zuko's life, the life of someone whose whole life goal is to capture him.

This was also an incredibly important moment to Zuko. This is the thing he brings up when trying to convince the Gaang to let him join.

Zuko: Why aren't you saying anything? You once said you thought we could be friends. You know I have good in me.

The character Zuko feels safest letting his guard down around?

It's Mai. Love her or hate her, her relationship with Zuko is incredibly important to him. Maiko isn't my favourite Zuko ship, in full honesty. But even platonically, Mai and Zuko are one another's reprieve from their respective shitty lives.

People often talk about Katara touching Zuko's scar while discussing healing his scar, however one could argue that she did so as a medical examination. Mai touching Zuko's scar is a casual thing, neither of them really make a big deal of it and that's the beauty of it.

I'm mainly talking out of my own personal experience, as someone with a huge amount of burn scars, but there is a world of difference between someone inspecting my scars like Katara did and simply accepting them as a part of me, like Mai does for Zuko.

With Mai, Zuko isn't the scarred banished prince, Ozai's son or Azula's brother. He's just Zuko. And they speak freely with one another, arguing like real people do. Often, being comfortable having arguments is actually a sign of being comfortable with one another.

The character who helps Zuko heal from his trauma?

Once again, this is a bit of a flawed question. By the end of the show, Zuko isn't even fully healed, in my opinion. He has made leaps and bounds on the road to recovery, but when he will truly heal if ever is yet to be seen.

Zuko's journey to recovery includes plenty of people. This includes Iroh, Aang, Song and Jin. People who show him the error of his coping mechanism. Who challenge his worldview, who coax him out of the his shell of pain and anger.

The character known for showing most compassion to others?

Yes, Katara's compassion is a huge part of her character. Her need to help and protect those who cannot do that for themselves cannot be understated.

But Aang's compassion for others and all beings is just as great, if not greater than Katara's. Compassion and nonviolence are huge parts of his culture and his own philosophy.

Aang: Wait, we can't just leave him here. Sokka: Sure we can. Let's go. Aang :No, if we leave him he'll die. Aang airbends himself off Appa and retrieves Zuko, bringing him to Appa. Sokka: [Sarcastically.] Yeah, this makes a lot of sense. Let's bring the guy who's constantly trying to kill us.

Friendly reminder that Aang could've absolutely wrecked Ozai, but held back because his own moral compass was so powerful. Hell, he was friendly and nice to Azula, the woman who literally killed him.

This is why Aang and Katara work so well together. They're both incredibly compassionate people who will immediately jump in to help others in need. Like they did during the Painted Lady, destroying the factiry together.

The character who primarily bears the burden of having to step up into a parental role?

I think "parental role" is an incredibly vague term. There's a lot of things that go into a "parental role". Katara plays a stereotypically "maternal" role, while someone who plays a "paternal" one would probably be Sokka.

Katara deals with very "homemaking" tasks like sewing and cooking, etc. And Sokka often takes on the role of leader, hunter, gatherer and also protector, despite being a nonbender.

This coincides nicely with their core childhood traumas. The loss of Katara's mother impacted her greatly, leading her to have to step up into a motherly role. While Sokka was clearly heavily traumatised by his father departing and the crushing responsibility of having to care for his entire village.

Sexism also probably played a part in this dichotomy.

The character who represses their emotions to be strong for others?

I'd argue that this could apply to all the members of the Gaang in some capacity.

Aang's pain is something most of us will never experience and cannot hope to understand. The complete horrific destruction of his culture and home followed him through the entire show. He was entitled to his grief and rage, yet he supressed it. We see during Appa's kidnapping, how easy it would be for Aang to rage, to let himself be destructive. And yet, he wakes up every day and chooses to smile and goof off, because his friends need someone to remind them how to be children.

Sokka puts on a very impressive bravado, despite having a lot of insecurities. However, as the oldest member of the Gaang (pre Zuko) he puts on a facade of the confident and unbothered older brother. Even if he's the butt of almost every joke, he still keeps that demeanour up, letting it slip only a few times.

I'd actually argue that Toph is the person whom this label fits best. While we know Toph as witty, callous and strong, we have to remember that she kept up the facade of her parents' good, helpless little blind girl for no reason other than her mother and father's comfort. She actually hides a lot of her hurt, covering it up with a prickly exterior.

I want to do longer think pieces about Toph and Katara so apologies if this isn't complete.

I'm actually baffled by the idea of Katara repressing her emotions. She's actually quite straightforward and open about her feelings. She yells and feels a lot of emotions and lets them be heard. She gets angry and sad. She's actually kinda bitchy sometimes and that's honestly why I love her so much.

The whole inciting incident of the show was her getting so pissed off she somehow pulls a giant iceberg from the bottom of the sea.

She is anything but repressed.

She is angry.

She's angry at the fire nation, at Sokka, at her father, at men, and with good right to be so.

This is what makes her an amazing character and one who broke the mould of a lot of female characters at the time. Her anger and unrestrained emotions rang true with a lot of watchers at the time. I'm not sure why this is being taken away from her rather than celebrated.

I reiterate the point I made at the beginning of this post: there is nothing wrong with headcanons and fanon interpretations for one's enjoyment. I do find it a bit odd when it changes a character too much (because then, why not just create an oc?) but it's all in good fun. However, you shouldn't push that onto other people and how they perceive canon and you certainly shouldn't use it to take away from other characters. It's a very unfair way of entering discourse.

just the three of us.

pairing: female!reader x fwb jay & heeseung

warning: friends with benefits, threeway relationship, fingering, jay is more dominant, heeseungs more submissive, unprotected sex, slight breeding kink, jay receiving head from reader, cum swallowing

wc: 3.2k

i don't mention y/ns hair at all so anyone can be represented. whether you wear a bonnet, or your hair in a bun, just know in this they fuck you regardless of what's on your head ok? ok.

and typos? MAYBE! but i try to not upload with typos. sometimes they slip me.. have mercy on me

"goodmorning~" heeseung jokingly whispered into your left ear, his body draped over yours as he woke you from your midday nap. the right side of his face lays on top of your left as your eyes stay closed, your left hand coming up to hold heeseungs forearm as his arm wraps around your upper body, close to your neck.

you're dressed in an oversized t-shirt and tight cotton shorts, heeseung shirtless with baggy plaid boxers. "where's jay?" you ask in english, your left hand leaving heeseungs arm to feel around the cold sheets in front of you in a failed attempt to stretch. "probably getting you something to eat." heeseung responds, his hand cupping your cheeks momentarily as he moves from behind you, kissing you on the lips once before shuffling to kneel by your legs.

he rips your double size bedsheet and comforter off your legs, the air cold and brisk on your skin. heeseung takes advantage of you curling your legs towards your chest in response , moving to push his pelvis against your ass, grabbing each of your legs to avoid you kicking his lower stomach.

he parts your legs enough for you to instinctively lay flat on your back. heeseung lays between them, falling forward so the right side of his face lays on your breasts. he moves his legs from their propped-up position to rest himself completely on you, his feet and part of his calves hanging off the bed.

jay walks in the moment the weight of heeseungs head lays heavily on your chest, wearing baggy shorts and an ill-fitting white shirt. his right hand lifts to line up his iced coffee straw to his mouth, and his left hand placing a bowl of washed fruit down on the bedside table.

you don't visit korea often, but when you do, jay always makes sure you're staying in the best possible housing. you speak the native language just enough for you to make it around the city of seoul, but outside of your interactions with enhypen, there isn't much for you to do besides text or facetime your friends whenever you can.

so when jay and heeseung have the freetime to come see you, they're out of their dorms quickly, belift always reiterating to them the importance of staying unidentifiable. their members either pay them no mind whenever they leave, or dap them up as they head out the door—jake—managers helping them travel from point 'a to b' without being spotted.

but once they unlock the front door of your apartment, they're all over you, masks off, pushing anything you were doing beforehand aside.

jay steps towards the bed until his knees touch the mattress, his right knee coming up to rest on the bed as he continues to drink, his eyebrows frowned in habit. "i was wondering where you were" you commented towards jay, ignoring the weight of heeseungs torso on yours. "thought you needed something to eat." he responds as he swallows, his love for actions of service making you smile.

"well, thank you." you responded, looking down at heeseungs frame. "so why are y'all naked?" you joke lightly, looking at their attire. "wanted to be comfy." heeseung answers truthfully, his hands laying at your sides, listening to your heartbeat. jay doesn't answer you—especially because he'd only argue about how not naked he actually is.

"i brought a change of clothes." jay answers plainly, looking around your slightly messy room. "stop looking for something to clean and come here." you answer, your right hand reaching out for him. your hand rests on his knee, grabbing the leg of his shorts before tugging.

jay moves his drink from his right hand to his left, placing it down on the bedside table before crawling up the bed to meet you. you move your arm so it isn't in the way as he crawls closer to you, leaning over to kiss your forehead once before pulling away. heeseung flips his head to the opposite side so he isn't eye level with jays lower body, closing his eyes momentarily.

"i missed you." jay confesses, maneuvering himself on the bed so he's laying beside you, his left knee under your right one. "i missed you too." you respond as he leans in for a kiss, his eyes open as he pecks you once, your eyes interlocked as he pulls away, two inches between your nose and his. his right hand comes up to cup your face as he scoots closer, your left cheek cooler than his palm.

jay leans in again, his eyes closed this time. his kiss is firm, rough, and sensual, a strong contrast from the kisses heeseung usually gives.

each movement of his lips are passionate, his grip moving to the back of your neck to hold you steady. heeseung moves his head off your chest, pulling himself up on his hands as he hovers over you and jays kiss. his right hand pulls your shirt up over your frame, your left hand shooting up in reflex before pausing.

heeseung slowly lowers himself down towards your chest, your boobs parted slightly as he laid a kiss right in the middle of your cleavage. he's always been more shy than jay when it came to sexual advances, so he constantly needs reassurance. your left hand comes up for reassurance, lightly playing in his hair. you force a moan to reassure him, and he lights up at the sound, his right hand coming up to grope your left boob, his index and middle fingers rubbing across your nipple.

jay continues to slowly kiss you, his right hand moving up and down the base and nape of your neck. heeseung lightly continuing to play with your left breast, his left hand rubbing up and down your right side. his touch is featherlike, causing you to twitch slightly. heeseung smiles in response before pulling his groin close to yours, his lack of pants making his print more invasive and hot against your crotch.

selfishly, he grinds against you once, biting his thin bottom lip. both his hands grip your waist, his thumbs lightly digging into the flesh of your stomach as he stares between your legs. he continues to lightly grind himself down against you, the base of his dick constantly rubbing up against your clitoral area. you reach your left hand down to reach out for heeseungs chest, his right hand meeting your wrist instead as he continues to rock against you, each grind forward, jerking your kiss with jay.

jay pulls away from you momentarily to look back at heeseung who immediately moves off of you completely to come to your left side, jays right hand immediately snakes downward, his fingers hooking and slipping underneath both your shorts and underwear. heeseung gets the message, grabbing the waistband of your shorts and underwear together to pull them off at once, both articles of clothing tangling with the light struggle of each tugging down your now closing legs.

jays middle finger traces up and down against your vagina, collecting your arousal before harshly pressing down on your clit, rubbing small, slow clockwise circles. heeseung moves off the bed to watch, his right and left hands pushing your thighs apart. in slight embarrassment, you try to clench your legs together, but heeseungs fingers dig into your thighs once he feels your thigh muscles move.

"please." heeseung lightly speaks, trying not to sound perverted as he stares intently between your legs. "you look, so good." he finishes, his right thumb rubbing up your inner thigh. jay continues to harshly rub your clit with his middle finger, looking down at his hand as he does so. he makes brief eye contact with heeseung who smirks in response before sitting up, his own right hand coming up to lightly push his middle finger inside your entrance.

you immediately moan in response, your legs pulling up slightly as your hands come up to your face in slight embarrassment at the persist attention. "move your hands." heeseung spits out lightly, his ring finger slowly pushing in. you do move your hands, but you're not sure where to put them, so you lightly grab jays face with your right.

jay immediately looks back at you for another kiss, much softer this time. heeseung slowly pumps his fingers in and out, lightly curling upwards once the base of his fingers makes contact with your labia. each push and pull of heeseungs fingers sound more wet than the last, and jays consistent motion against your clit unwavers.

"you're so perfect." jay compliments honestly, his lips still close to you as he periodically kisses you between compliments. "everything about you-" he kisses you again as your right hand falls from his face, limp. "-is so fucking perfect." he finishes breathlessly, pulling away from you completely to sit back on the soles of his feet. his shorts are tight at the crotch, and your right hand immediately reaches for it, but his left hand grabs your wrist.

"not yet." he states, looking down at his hand tirelessly working between your legs. heeseungs pace has picked up a bit, watching your face for reaction. your face doesn't disappoint, your mouth gaping a little at the pace change. jay picks up on it immediately, his ring finger matching with his middle finger to rub your clit faster, your legs jerking slightly. "oh my go-" you barely get out before your eyes both close, your hands coming up to cup your mouth to prevent too much noise.

"move your hands or we stop." jay threatens lightly, his pace slowing slightly. your hands immediately move from your face to grab for him again, both arms wrapped around his neck as jay lazily kisses you once again, most of his focus on his hand.

the moment your orgasm hits, your mouth gapes open, jay kissing down your right cheek to push your head to the side so heeseung can see your expression. "fuck." heeseung swears lightly under his breath the moment he feels his fingers grow increasingly wetter, his eyes peeled on the shine of his fingers.

"i'm so hard right now." heeseung comments to himself in korean, jay smiling against your cheek before pulling himself up. "same." he responds in english, finally pulling his tired hand away from between your legs. heeseung slowly pulls his fingers out from inside you, jay shuffling over to watch the way they glisten in the pale sunlight. "if it wasn't weird, i'd suck your fingers clean." jay starts again in korean, heeseung lightly smirking to the right in response before bringing his hand up to your mouth.

the moment his two fingers lightly touch your bottom lip, your mouth opens again—you didn't remember closing it to begin with—for heeseung to slide both his fingers inside, your lips pursing around them to suck them clean. heeseung lightly groans at the action, pushing you to suck slightly as he pulls his cleaned fingers out of your mouth with a light popping sound.

"can you sit up for me, baby?" jay asks in english, his eyes scanning your body which now feels so exposed. you happily do, your shirt falling down over your chest as you cross your legs, waiting. heeseung huffs a laugh at your posture, both men moving up on the bed to sit beside and in front of you.

heeseung slowly removes himself of his boxers before kneeling in front of you, his erection heavy and dark. he's pretty shaven besides a small patch at the base of his dick, the entire shaft a slight deep purple shade. your left hand comes up to lightly cup the bottom of it, and heeseung hisses in response, his body twitching slightly. jay doesn't look at the interaction at all, his right hand grabbing yours to rub it against the length of his erection. the back of your palm feels hot as he rubs it up and down the fabric of his shorts, light groans escaping his lips every time he pushes your hand to his tip.

"take those shorts off, jay." you comment, your eyes looking down at your hand. he lets go of your wrist to move to stand on the bed, his groin about your eye level. he pulls the waistband of his shorts and briefs down enough with his right hand to pull himself out with his left. his erection just as dark as heeseungs, but veiner as he lightly wraps his fingers around the base of his dick, looking down at you with dark eyes.

jay pulls his shorts and briefs down further, pushing you to scramble to your feet to help tug them both down his legs. heeseungs eyes tear up slightly at the lack of touch, his boner heavy and shiny. jay almost comically steps out of his bottoms, first with his left, then his right.

the moment the articles of clothing fell limp within your hands, you pulled them closer to you to avoid hitting heeseung and tossed them to your left, the sound of them falling on the floor in slight distance.

"can you get in the center of the bed?" jay asked, taking cautious steps backwards as heeseung moved himself off the bed, almost as if he knew jays plan. you pulled yourself up to shift to your right, now on your knees in front of jay, now facing your beds pillows.

"perfect." jay compliments loosely before plopping down in front of you, fast enough to make you almost laugh before he spreads his legs apart, his arms at his sides as he leans against the head of your bed, the pillows helping him sit more upright. his right knee is hiked up as his left leg lays flat on the mattress giving you such a view you immediately drop your upper half to meet his erection at eye level.

heeseung wastes no time grabbing himself with his right hand, scrambling up the bed. he immediately taps the head of his penis against your clit, lightly swirling it around in a teasing matter. you move your legs further apart to accommodate him, and you hear an approving groan from behind. heeseung wastes no time to push himself into you, air escaping your lungs. you can't help but fall forward, your forehead resting right between jay's upper left thigh and his erection.

jays left hand comes up to support you, his hand running down your upper back slightly, comforting. you pull your head back up again at the touch before positioning yourself better to take heeseung, simultaneously wrapping your right hand around jay's dick. he's very expressive, his lips parting slightly as his eyes close. a soft lighter moan than expected escapes his lips and you can't help but focus on it, looking up at jay through your lashes.

heeseungs grip on your waist is strong, his main focus being himself after getting you off earlier. he slams into you every two seconds, a light grunt leaving his mouth as his forehead grows sweaty. "fuck." he moans breathlessly before biting harshly on his bottom lip. "god, heeseung." you moan in response, looking over your left shoulder for a split second to hold eye contact.

his eyes almost seem darker in colour, his face stone cold. he can't bother faking a smile to reassure you and it turns you on further as he breaks eye contact to look down at himself again. you look forward, your right hand tightening around jays erection before wrapping your lips around the tip of his cock loosely.

"fuck, please." jay pleads in response, his hands at his sides to avoid pushing your head down further. you breathe in through your mouth once before making sure to angle himself properly in your mouth so your teeth don't come in contact with jay at all.

you bob your head once while making a light humming sound at the back of your throat, helping you avoid gagging. your head is sloppy from the beginning, drooling all over jay's dick and your hand, carefully listening for the way jay pants in response. heeseungs pace has slowed down since you started giving jay head, his pace slow and steady, grinding lightly every time his hips met the base of your ass.

you end up moaning on jays dick once or twice, having to pull off to avoid unnecessary choking, coughing. jay is immediately worried, using his hands to pull you back to eye level, giving you time to breathe. "its okay, don't hurt yourself." he comments, giving you time to tighten your grip around his length, pumping upwards. his bottom lip moves downward slightly hissing, his eyelids fluttering slightly.

the moment his grip on your face softens you move back down again, confidently licking up the underside of his erection, a loud low moan leaving his lips. "you're perfect." he moans in korean lightly, his left hand coming up to lightly rest at the base of your head. "so perfect.." he mutters lowly, evoking a smile on your face. you wrap your lips around the head of his cock, sucking harshly, the sound almost bouncing off the walls. the reaction from jay makes it so worth it, his groan loud and deep as you continue harshly jacking him off.

heeseungs thrusts begin feeling more erratic quickly, his breathing irregular. "y/n–" "–do it." you pull off quickly to answer, knowing exactly what heeseung wants. "f—uck." heeseung lets out softly before speeding his thrusts up until they're only at one second intervals. his breathing is heavy behind you, and you know sucking jay off during this would only result in disaster, so you stick to jacking him off tightly while sucking on his tip, jays reactions still rewarding.

heeseung comes to a halt, his hands gripping tightly on your waist as you feel his cum lightly pour inside of you, causing you to moan in response, breathing heavily out your mouth as all your movements halt.

jay doesn't scold you, but he whines in response, enough of a reaction to push you to finally get him off. as heeseung slowly pulls out of you, watching the way his groin glistens, you begin to suck jay off like before, you head bobbing every two seconds, sucking harshly each time you came back up. "ye—s, fuck, please." jay pleaded lightly, his left hand now laying flatly on the crown of your head.

you hum i response to him before you feel jay push and hold your head down for the first time, signalling hes close. "give it to her." heeseung playfully mutters under his breath, slapping your right ass cheek once with his opposite hand before slipping his thumb inside of you once again, drawing more of his and your cum out.

jay groans one final time before you feel him begin to spurt into your mouth, slimy on your tongue. you try your best to swallow, but anything that remains in your mouth you let collect with your saliva, some of it escaping, down jays shaft. the moment jay lets go of your head, you pull off to cough a little, trying to hide it as best you can while blinking away tears.

you pull up to jays eye level, cum and spit lining your lips. jays eyes open slowly to look at you, a wave of remorse on his features.

"i'm so sorry." he responds genuinely, but you smile regardless, using your right hands fingers to wipe around your lips to collect whats left, pushing it into your own mouth to swallow.

jay groans at this action, his now limp dick pulsing once in a lame response.

"you're so gorgeous." jay compliments, heeseung stepping up from behind you to offer his thumb.

"oh please." you respond before taking heeseungs thumb into your mouth, breaking eye contact.

RaTing TMA season 1 episodes

001: Angler Fish, the cigarette and disappearance one. Not very memorable. 5/10

003: Across the Street, to be Grahm or Not to be Grahm, that is the question. Eating paper is not really my thing but you do you. 8/10

004: Page Turner, kinda boring to me but it introduces important people. 4/10

009: A Fathers Love, this one was so sad to me ngl. I have two questions: What happened to the mother (i know she died but theres gotta be more)? and also whats the necklace all about ( i might be crazy but wasn’t it in the box in burned out?)? I do think the dad is somehow innocent, like he was possessed or smth. 10/10

010: Vampire Killer, this was a cool, fun episode and I enjoyed the different approach to Vampires. 9/10

011: Dreamer, We hear some new stuff about what happened to Jon’s predecessor, outside of that its an ok episode. Elias is mentioned. 5/10

012: First Aid, don’t remember this episode at all but i looked at the episode tag on here and Gerry is in it so on principle it gets a 5/10

016: Arachnophobia, proof that spiders do not die no matter what you do. Lazy ass cat ( Major Tom, great name, unintended David Bowie reference ) 8/10

***All previous thoughts were made well after the episodes were read so i could be wrong or forgetful regarding some details.***Future thoughts will be made immediately after, or the same day as reading the episodes.***

017: The Boneturners Tale, more of the weird books. I think there was arson in this episode (?) 5/10

019: Confession and 020: Desecrated Host, putting these two together. Why is there such a strong theme of cannibalism and removal of body parts in this podcast? It was really interesting and well written. 8/10

021: Freefall, not that interesting to me ngl. It wasnt bad tho 5/10

022: Colony, MARTIN!!! A real character! He is a sweet innocent baby who can do no wrong. The episode itself was super unsettling. Who is the woman again tho?

023: Schwartzwald, this was boring, sorry. I know i should have found it more interesting cause its a letter for Jonah Magnus but it just wasn’t appealing to me. 2/10

024: Strange Music, I love the aesthetic of Pipe Organs, always have. (Why is it now in the institute?!?!) the creepy dolls and the circus clowns were cool. I love that the movers came back again, kinda odd but thats expected. 10/10

025: Growing Dark, not too memorable but there is now another missing person. (Yay). 4/10

027: A Sturdy Lock, the first episode I listened to while reading the transcript. Is there or is there not a lock on that door? Bro should invest in a pet tho. Average episode but still good. 7/10

028: Skin Tight, wasn’t Cambridge Military Hospital in another episode? Also who is the archivist? The voice ( im listening and reading ) is different from Jon’s and is not female so not Gertrude. Sarah Baldwin is also a familiar name. Skin peeling. Lovely. (Sarcasm) 10/10

029: Cheating Death, reminds me of 007. I think its neat that the person making the statement had the Institute write it for him. This was a cool story. I like how much of it was a folktale and then it took a turn. 10/10

030: The killing floor, oh the delights of the meat industry. What was up with Tom Haan tho? Why did he kill himself? Why is there a living meat pile?!?! 10/10

Shortly after listening to that episode i made steak. While making steak i listened to the next two.

031: First Hunt, I kept thinking of that “Run Rabbit” song. Im glad humans dont have natural predators. But as an American (unfortunately) as soon as I heard where this was and the guy made note of the whistling… I knew he was screwed. Jon is so dissmissive tho. First episode where i only listened to it. 10/10

I have no idea why the previous story made me decide to cook steak.

032: Hive, this wasn’t much of a real statement but proof that Jane is crazy. It was just “insects do be buzzing” the noises in the background were upsetting. (Listened only while cooking a steak) 10/10

033: Boatswain’s Call, We meet Peter Lukas ( who may or may not be Elias’s Husband? I saw it in a Tiktok ) and I think it was slightly unsettling how they all loaded into the lifeboat. Did they vote the dude out or something? (Read and listened) 8/10

034: Anatomy Class, body snatchers named John/Jane Doe traumatize a professor. I love how they’re all trying to pump their hearts to figure out how they’re supposed to beat. Im a big fan of anatomical sciences. (Read only) 10/10

035: Old Passages, It’s Gerry on the hunt for Leitners books! Another dead person and some secret passages. What happened to Jon. Why did the Delivery Duo Dudes show up with a package for him??? (Read only) 10/10

036: Taken Ill, the episode itself was boring to me but the end was interesting. Why is there a lighter, that i assume has connections to The Web? What does Elias want with it? (Read only) 7/10

037: Burnt Offering, boring. Sorry. Could the wicca and voodoo stuff in the woods be related to Jane? (Read only) 5/10

038: Lost and Found, This was Sad. Important things go missing, more so they cease to exist, until eventually its the Husband. Jons fear of spiders returns. And now for the end of Season 1. (Read only) 10/10

039: Infestation, I did find it funny when Jon called himself an idiot. Martin just needs to let my boy Jon be in (SEVERE) denial. Jon is being watched (the eye!) Tim is so excited that he almost died. Its odd. Oooh its Not Sasha! “Archivist.” “Shit.” (I listened to it and then read the transcript) 9/10

040: Human Remains, what did Not Sasha do with the tape… I do know what happened to Gertrude so Elias acting the way he does in this scene is funny. (I listened to it then read the transcript) 9/10

Really good podcast. I liked it.

— are the secret passages from 038 connected in anyway to the tunnels around the archives?

— what was it that got sasha in the end and is real sasha dead?

— does gerard start to pop up more often? As an actual cast member?

— what was Jane looking for in the written files?
