Thinking about how in Mag 196 This Old House, Annabelle says this to Martin:
"I was going to snatch you away. Lure you both into this web, and then take you. Drive him to despair, so that when you returned to him, bulging, and talking in a thousand tiny voices, it would drive him to a final push."
It immediately made me think of first text-to-speech incident from First Shift, which is voiced by Norris, who is obviously Martin, and begins with,
"I’m so sorry. I should have listened. I just couldn’t face the thought of the rest of my life never hearing him again, I had to try."
Then later in the incident, we get this:
"It was his voice. It was Arthur’s voice. I know you won’t believe me, but he called my name and I know it was his voice. I froze in place.
It came closer, and as the moon escaped the clouds, for a moment I could make out the discolored skin, the mismatched features. It moved slowly, shuddering towards me with a jerky, ungainly step. Something was pressed against its skin, from the inside."
hmmm

Why Hill Top Road is most certainly not the only portal:
A theory I didn’t type out because I had thought to eventually write a fanfic about it, but here you go because it’s the last possible day for me to post a called shot with my tma theory without tmp lore being involved.
Section 1 - The Tree
When we’re first introduced to Hill Top road in MAG 08, the statement giver provides us with his gut-check instinct about the tree on the premises, which cast odd shadows and “creeped him the hell out”, culminating with him feeling the need to destroy it.
This tree, as we all understand by the end of MAG 196 - This Old House, is a symptom of the crack in reality seeping out from underground, but let me draw your attention to MAG 127 - Remains to be Seen, where Jonah hires Doctor Jonathan Fanshawe to visit Albrecht von Closen in the Schwartzwald, otherwise known as the Black Forest in Germany. When his carriage arrives, what does he see but some absolutely heinous tree that absolutely must be killed:
and then, later on:
A single tree so inexplicably foul, it inspires the urge to kill it dead.
Section 2 - Underground
In MAG 59 - Recluse, the orphan Ronald Sinclair wanders into the basement of Hill Top Road, and recounts his observations of the room:
Compare this with Anya Villette’s description in 114 of the unlisted HTR basement, involving unfinished masonry and damp earth
As a curious parallel, in Albrecht Von Closen’s experience descending down the strange, isolated mausoleum in the Schwartzwald, the tree-punctured, decaying stone stairway yields to a room with books touching walls so weather exposed, the statement giver is unable to tell if the books are truly touching walls at all, or are in fact bordered in with bare soil.
And what item did Albrecht find conspicuously on the floor of Johann von Württemberg’s mausoleum, the subtler mystery detail hidden by the much thematically larger mystery of the books?
Section 3 -The coin anomaly
Inside this strangely placed, isolated mausoleum in the Scwartzwald, Albrecht von Closen found a coin, dated the year the count Ulrich II of Württemberg passed away.
Interestingly, in both our universe and the in-fiction one, Eberhard I succeeded Ulrich II, and not any bastard named Johann. Our dear Archivist comments on this in the same breath as dismissing it as coincidence, which historically means it definitely isn’t.
Preposterously familiar for anyone who’s spent any amount of time thinking about the obvious HTR-based disappearance/reappearance/time skipping of Anya Villette (MAG 114) and Anne Kasuma nee Willette (MAG 08).
Kind of curious how this absolutely cursed book collection shows up in proximity of a cursed tree that people are urged to kill, in a weird mausoleum nobody has any record of, alongside a coin of a man who may not have existed and definitely wasn’t a lord or any sort of royalty and yet there’s currency commemorating him?
This is not the end of the Scwartzwald anomalies, though. You see, this coin…went missing.
Section 4 - Profound violence, and an eyeless man
It’s unclear the circumstances of how Albrecht lost this coin, though given that he wrote his statement in 1816, I suspect it fell out from a pocket during Albrecht’s very next encounter which causes him to flee the Black Forest entirely. The encounter where the guy who keeps creeping around the outside of the mausoleum, issuing vaguely intimidating warnings, decides to accost Albrecht and reveals himself to have empty eye sockets, and the ability to “see” regardless.
The identity of the Eyeless man remains unknown definitively, as he runs off as if he was startled by some sort of predator, but in some Absolute Hunt Bullshit that seems to follow pretty much immediately, there was a murder that same year that investigators briefly thought was committed by Albrecht’s host and nephew, Wilhelm.
An eyeless man, a cursed tree, the profound violence of a hunt, the man who doesn’t belong with a history that couldn’t be true.
And that’s not to mention the incredibly cursed vibes of both locations. To wit, in MAG 196 regarding the nature of these cracks in the universe:
Compare this to Albrecht’s description of the Schwartzwald:
AND ALL THIS IS TO SAY, in my heart I know it’s true that there are more portals, because as a patreon subscriber I got to submit a question for the Q&A
And do you know what they did?
Do you know what happened to my question?
They reworded it beyond recognition, to a thing that was NOT what I was on about at all.
I asked about the potential for other Cracks in reality to exist currently, like the hints for Schwartzwald or The Eschatology Door in Paris, and do you know what they rewrote the question to be about (but still put my name on so I KNOW it was supposed to be mine) (also please dont go find it, it’s embarrassing how they butchered my ask and also it has my human name on it and I don’t know yall like that tbh, so just take my word for it)?
The question they answered was if different places and countries had their own regionally specific fear domains, like Paris for example. Which like, obviously?? I forget how exactly they rephrased it, I was on a walk listening and my ears went hot and my eyes went wide and I KNEW I HAD SOMETHING WITH A MELTY HOT CORE OF TRUTH TO IT. Pure adrenaline, sign me up for the Fucked Up Red String Tower where People Judge Marble Domain I guess, but I feel it in my GUTS now. And you know, maybe the question was rewritten by a staff member before they ever saw it, any number of things could have happened along the pipeline. It seems bizarre to me that they’d even leave it in after choosing to rework it that hard, though. But I’ll tell you what, the question posed was about cracks in reality, not fear domains. And I feel CLOSE to something.
In Annabelle’s own words,
Indeed, few have ever thought much of it at all. Perhaps there are many such places across the Earth. Perhaps it is unique. Certainly, no-one has known either way.
(PS don’t get me started on MAG 134 - Time of Revelation, DON’T GET ME STARTED ON IT)

I don’t know if you’ve answered this before, but what are your favorite TMA episodes?
all of them? okay:
MAG 3 Across the Street - this is the only episode that genuinely scared me. fucked up evil imposters who look and act nothing like you but only certain people can tell and everyone else believes is and was always the real you? ugh. awful.
MAG 15 Lost John's Cave - the concept of the episode itself is already pretty frightening, but the ending is CHILLING. 'take her not me'. fuck my entire life.
MAG 31 First Hunt - i just really liked listening about how some posh british guy got chased by a werewolf. also the fact that hunters can shrug off gunshots to the chest... cool, but jesus christ.
MAG 36 Taken Ill - nothing in the podcast fucked me up more than the moment i realized that the funeral director cut off her hand to stop the Corruption from spreading
MAG 67 Burning Desire - agnes and jack's story is just so tragic to me :(
MAG 77 The Kind Mother - more horrifying supernatural imposters! the fact that the fake monster mother was nicer than the real one was so fucked up
MAG 111 Family Business - GERRY EPISODE <3
MAG 119 Stranger and Stranger - i've talked about it in more detail before but i really enjoyed the different format of this one. also tim :(((
MAG 150 Cul-De-Sac - the only episode that made me cry. also the description of the endless empty streets and houses was awful and made me feel sick. fantastic episode.
MAG 153 Love Bombing - the real horror of this one wasn't anything supernatural but the cult and, as the statement giver says, how anyone is vulnerable to them. this episode was so good at portraying that.
MAG 159 The Last - no need to explain this one. i think we all lost our shit when we listened to 159.
MAG 165 Revolutions - best horror poetry about being eternally trapped on an evil merry go round where everyone claws each other's faces off i've ever listened to. also the famous smiting episode. what's not to love.
MAG 169 Fire Escape - i just think the desolation is neat
MAG 196 This Old House - hilltop road was one of the biggest mysteries in the podcast and the payoff did not disappoint

MAG 196, This Old House
Like Jon in his rowboat, like Basira on her island, Martin, too, is entirely done with this shit.
ANNABELLE: Look I'm no good at monologue-ing. Won't you please monologue for me?
MARTIN: What's in it for me?
ANNABELLE: I'll stuff you with 100% fewer spiders.
MARTIN: Gimme.

mag 196 - this old house
i love annabelle in concept, but jesus christ would i get murderous if i had to actually interact with her. i think the main obstacle in me ever getting in contact with the web would be how absolutely unable i am to deal with any sort of mysterious bullshit. although, i am kinda curious how much of that is the web's influence. we don't ever get a true and proper backstory for her, do we? as a character, the mystery she shrouds herself in is super fascinating, because like with the web itself we are left unsure of how much she really knows, how much power she actually has, why she does the things she does
here's the thing: the web doesn't actually control shit. it's just very good at taking advantage of coincidences and small details and then making small pushes to get the wanted outcome. but it's still a push, rather than actually controlling it. and even how concious the web is as a power or an entity is in question. i think some pretty similar things could be said of annabelle - she's obviously smart and perceptive and able to predict outcomes with great accuracy, but not precisely. he plans can shift and, to some degree, fail
that's what kinda happens to her fill-martin-with-spiders idea. the circumstances change, and now the outcome isn't the same, and she shifts to accomodate that. i think it's also really interesting that the thing that foils this plan is jon and martin's relationship. whilst tma definitely does not push a love-saves-all type of narrative, i really like how clear it's made that it is a very powerful and very genuine power source. i feel like a lot of horror or scifi (as well as almost any badly written tragedy) has this tendency to dismiss and diminish love, as if love and passion and desire are not the core driving forces in any human being. it just has a very interesting place in tma's narrative
i'll admit that i don't 100% understand that crack in reality stuff, but i understadn it enough to get its larger implications and i do very much enjoy it. i like how it seems simontaneously independent and connected with the fears, and to be honest, the way it's spoken about as having been an inherent part of the universe, as eternal as the fears themselves seem to be, does have me half-convinced that the entities does not originate from this dimension. still, i find the mere idea of something far more inherent and eternal and unknown than what could be comprehended deeply fascinating

...remember how in one of the q&as somebody asked what entity rusty quill would be aligned with if they were aligned with any, and they poked fun at the “if” in the question before saying rusty quill would definitely be web-aligned?
...with the context of that ep, that seems a lot more meaningful than i ever expected it to be
