#sort sort I love to arbitrarily sort
Text
After spending literally multiple days and nights listening to hours of new music, here are my thoughts on what the Protocol playlists might tell us about the characters. I'm gonna break it down by large themes and I'm putting it under a read more bc I don't know how to not ramble about this. its SO MUCH
Gwendolyn Bouchard 👁️
Hers is the most self-explanatory. Girlboss is girlbossing and paying for it. But I did pick up several nuances.
Gwen is: Cold, power-hungry, and ambitious (you should see me in a crown, Are You Satisfied?, Severance theme). Suffering from her own hubris (Oh No!, Gasoline). Resentful and envious, especially about family, wealth, and power (Family Jewels, 24 hours, Warriors). Touching the dark and being supernaturally influenced (Mr. Bonzo theme, Evil Eye, We Don't Talk About Bruno, Making Love to the Dead).
Special mention to the 'daddy's money' reference in 24 hours.
Samama Khalid 😶🌫️
Sam makes ridiculously long playlists, like me, so this entry is gonna be long, but the emotional vibes were pretty easy to pick out once I got through it.
Sam is: Straight chillin' to some lo-fi beats, desi hip hop, and melodic bops (literally too many to list but, Remind Me, Forgive the Mess, 93 'Til Infinity, Magpie, Fire Sale, Iniesta Flow, I Guess, Prarthana, Hai Hai, etc., etc.). Rebellious (The Adults Are Talking, Reptilia). Bonded with someone (Halo Flip, soulboy). Yearning, romantic, and playful (Girl Like You, Mr. Sandman, New House, Meteor, You Only Live Once, Be Your Girl, Dear Jean, Say The Word, My Girl/Hey Girl, Smiley, The Real Sugar). Reminiscing about a break-up (Oui, Afterparty Lover, Last Nite, Stick Season, Turn off the Lights, Jessie (i miss you), WONDERING, Afterthought, I Love You, I'm Trying). Full of regrets, pain, and melancholy bitterness (Seasons, Can't Call It, Let It Go, nightmares, Pretty Insane, different tomorrow..., Cigarette Daydreams, CABIN FEVER, Self destruct, Go Back, Stuck Here With Me, Bliss City). Alienated, yet wanting to be alone (uh-oh) (Creep, Alone, Stone cold., Paint it, Black).
Special shout-out to all the implications about the old Sam/Alice relationship. And I'm especially worried by the potential meanings of Downside Up, Let It Go, Go Back, and Stuck Here With Me.
Also, interesting that there's a lyric-free track just called 'drained' at the end of his playlist. I'm sure that's fine.
Alice Dyer 🌀
Oh my girl. What is going on with you. She has impeccable and predictable taste, at least. But... then there's the Ominous Implications again...
Alice is: Rebellious, anarchic, and irreverent (Underclass Hero, Toxicity, Tribute, Buddy Holly, Dragostea din tei, Feel Good Inc., Piss Off, Rebel Rebel, Ghost Town, Brimful of Asha, Surrender, Uncle Walter, United States of Whatever). Blasting high-confidence power anthems (Material Girl, Therefore I Am, Jump, Bad Reputation, The Middle). Depressed behind a mask of high energy and false cheeriness (SugarCrash!, Mad World, Bathroom Floor). Yearning after someone's love (A.M. 180, Zombie Love Song, Nearer Than Heaven, Save Tonight, Ms. California, Because I Love You, Fell In Love With A Girl, Take Me Out). Reminiscing about a break-up (Ciao!, Built This Way, Kidz 'N' Stuff, FRIENDS, Free Fallin', Not In Love, Who Knew, Song for the Dumped, When It All Falls Apart, Laid, Complicated). Feeling crazy and overwhelmed (uh-oh) (Basket Case, In Too Deep, Bonkers, I'm A Robot, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, 19-2000, Wonderland, High, Undone, Cosmic Castaway). Creeped out and brushing up against the supernatural (Walking On Air, The Blue Wrath, Pet Sematary).
Oooh. Oh, the implications. The Sam/Alice break-up. The potential for feelings that remain. I HAVE to know what happened between them.
Also, here are some select lines from five Alice songs presented without comment: "Yeah, I'm a zombie, baby," "I'm a robot, I'm a robot/I don't have any feeling in my heart," "I don't wanna be buried in a Pet Sematary/I don't want to live my life again," "Take me down, six underground/The ground beneath your feet," "Walking like a zombie, like a zombie."
I'm sure that's all fine.
Celia Ripley 🕸️
The most mysterious new member of the OIAR, her music choices are appropriately enigmatic. The Vibes make me excited to see what she's hiding under the surface.
Celia is: Raring for a fight (Seven Nation Army, Rumble, know your place, Run from Me). Fed up with the system (Blood//Water, Run You). Bold, sexy, headstrong, and self-confident (Creature, Took A Trip, River, Do It For Me, Aerials, Uber). Struggling against supernatural influence, feeling trapped and helpless (Mama! There's a Spider in My Room, Where Is My Mind?, I Feel Like I'm Drowning, Closer, Space Dementia, Rain)
So we've all but confirmed the theory that she's from the OG Archives timeline and that she has continuing ties to the Web from passing through Hill Top Road. I think we have hints here that she's manipulating the others, but I also think there are signs that she's fighting her own battle against an evil trying to take her. There also seems to be an overarching theme of water in many of her songs for some reason 🤔
I can't wait to get more of Celia. Even if she is lying, I'm rooting for her (<hoping this doesn't come back to bite me in the ass)
In conclusion, I love them all already your honor, and I want to thank the cast for putting such loving care into crafting these for us. Thank you for such great food to feed our wild theorizing.
#i think i had the most fun listening to hindi rap for the first time#theres just something about following the flow and beat when you cant understand the language. its really fun#sort sort i love to arbitrarily sort#also i assumed these were songs /about/ the characters and not under the conceit that these are songs the characters are listening to#just play in this space with me#tmagp#the magnus protocol#gwendolyn bouchard#gwen bouchard#alice dyer#samama khalid#sam khalid#celia ripley#tmagp theory#also i started writing this a few weeks ago and since then ive been listening to KR$NA obsessively lol. thank you Shahan

been meaning to do a big overhaul of my tagging system here on Thee Blog for a while and ive started tagging New shit more consistently but i do want to go back and do a big deep dive and reorganise a lot of my old posts. maybe write up a full tag ontology. but unfortunately the thing is i barely have time to even take a shit these days
#fred says a thing#personal#im living in a hotel rn lmao#finally moving in on friday but then i gotta get all my furniture#also. im doing a masters degree.#again#but i DO really want to do a bunch of nitpicky little sorting#sort sort i love to arbitrarily sort

The neat thing about making character Classpects is that they’re NOT intuitive. Like, ‘oh yeah, this class is called ‘mind’ it’d probably be the one Logan fits in-‘ but no. Because mind is about knowing how people THINK. Terezi’s abilities relate to knowing how what her teammates and their enemies think and how that’ll effect their future movements (the entire gamble with Vriska was based on this idea.) Logan’s got a lot of talents but Mr. ‘Do you like food? Do you like romantic outings? I can provide both those things therefore you will be my date.’ Is not the best judge in ‘how other people act.’
Anyway talktomeaboutclasspecting it’s so fucking fun it’s like giving characters DnD classes and alignments and such but weirder and trickier and I love it for that.

more images applying pretty much specifically to myself. these categorizations could easily be disputed (personally im iffy on where eiki goes, and tenshi is in jan/sewi limbo; all youkai could potentially be sorted into monsuta and fairies probably could be something else but w/e)
but yeah. touhou characters sorted into what category theyd fall into in toki pona beyond “jan” if applicable. jan for “person/humanoid”, sewi for “higher power/god”, soweli for “beast/mammal”, monsuta for “demon/monster/oni”, kon for “spirit/ghost”, pipi for “bug”, akesi for “reptile/amphibian”, kala for “fish”, waso for “bird”, ilo for “tool”, and kijetesantakalu for “raccoon or similar creature”.

Quads aren't always entirely clean-cut, so send me a set of characters or a ship and I'll put how I view them on a chart!

I find great fun in listing my options and spending days and weeks and months deciding which I should go with. The same is true when writing a story. Which first-meeting do I like the best? Which evil king? Which name sounds the best? What season should it be?
Typically this leads to taking much longer than needed to finish a project, but it makes the process more fun for me.

i completely get what you mean about favorite versus best because for years i've been telling people my favorite color is yellow but the best color is green and nobody seems to get it
exactly!!! they are two similar but very distinct categories and it’s very important to acknowledge which is which when you’re ranking things

no more writing for me just titling things thats where the funs at. other people can do the writing and ill title it for em. mate's rates on here as well
#one thing about me i love titling things. i love naming things. i love labelling things with sillyfun phrases. i find it a small delight#you say five chapters i say five opportunities to come up with a sillyfun title. ninety playlists on my spotify. the fucking fun ive had#goes well with my love of sorting things. arbitrarily sorting things. making piles and groups and orders like a child on a pebble beach.#and then well there comes my love of ranking things. rating things. bars charts and graphs and statistics. what could be better
