Having Now Listened To TMAGP 28, I'm Still Pretty Sure That The Archivist That's Targeting The Main Character

Having now listened to TMAGP 28, I'm still pretty sure that the archivist that's targeting the main character is Jonah Magnus, doing his body swapping shit. I mean we never found out the full extent of his abilities in TMA, and even if it wasn't one of his abilities there, he may have different abilities in this universe

please can we do inbox trick-or-treating this year. can we make that a thing on tumblr. please please please please please

Jesus christ this is ridiculous

Fucking hell, this opens up a scary new era of cyber warfare.

My Witherburn Afterschool News Theory

The Disappearances- obviously it's something to do with the Clarks, but I think they're running a cult in the town that are sacrificing the kidnapped people to some kind of God. I'm not sure if this god is real, but I suspect it's the man that the mayor was babbling about in Episode 21, which does somewhat incline me to believe that there is a real person they're worshipping, although I'm not sure if he has magical powers or not. They are probably sending out members of the cult into the woods to lure in the kids that they would then kill. This cult has also been going since at least the 1950s, kidnapping and killing outcasts since then, but has recently started to up its activity.

The Monsters- I'm still not sure if there are monsters or not. If there are monsters then I think they are being caused by the cults activity, possibly with the kids being turned into them, as was said to have happened to Evelyn Grahm as described in Episode 8. This is also backed up by several of the mlMonsters of the Week being missing children transformed into monsters (Episodes 4, 10, 20). Alternatively, if there are no monsters then I think they are the actions of the cult being seen by outsiders and misunderstood, see Monster of the Week Episode 3, 17 and 21. Honestly with what we know so far this could go either way, but I'm thinking somewhere in the middle, that there's real monsters being brought about by the cult, while people are mistaking their activities in the woods for monsters. Honestly this just depends on what the writers find scarier, the body horror of the transformation, or the cult terrorising a small town.

Hunter and Eva- I think Hunter was recruited to the cult by his parents, who encouraged his his horrible behaviour in order to provide the cult with a scapegoat when the time came. I think Eva was forced to join the cult by her father and was leaving the graffiti in order to sabotage the cult without being caught. As for her claim about them summoning the apocalypse, I'm not sure. She may have lied to, or this could be accurate, we don't have enough information yet. Either way it probably won't make a difference this season, which is the time frame I'm working from.

What I think is coming next- I think that the Reporter will go onto the Clarks secret land in the finale after the cult has betrayed her by going back on their work and taking someone else. I think they will then kidnap her while she's there, in an attempt to force her back into speaking in their favour. I think the actual Witherburn Afterschool News program will then be taken over by either one of the Reporters relatives, or by Birdie who will be trying to save the Reporter from the cult, while fighting the disinformation they would be spreading through the Reporters mouth.

That's just what I think will happen, and I hope I've got at least a few things right.

The flesh one is just a really dodgy greggs

Sososososoooo curious about Hilltop Center. You’re telling me there’s a shop that steals teeth? A shop that burns people alive? A shop of antiques that buries people? A shop the magnus institute owns?? Is there also a shop that creates darkness, a shop that sells hunting supplies, a shop with walls of meat???? Hmmm????? Would you say that maybe there are around 13 or 14 stores that appear open sometimes?????? HMM???

I've been thinking about what kind of dress the reporter got herself for homecoming, so this is my idea for birdie and the reporter

tho I only have a vague idea what homecoming is so take this with a grain of salt lol. I guess this is more prom dress adjacent??
