Gwen Bouchard - Tumblr Posts
I LOVE the implication that Lena has seen the Horrors tm when she tells Gwen that she doesnt have what it takes to climb this particular ladder. I love that Lena might understand these terrors better than she understands how badly Gwen wants that job. and god I hope she breaks the second she sees the real Entities outside of her books because Lena was right, she isn't Gwendolyn Magnus, she's just Gwendolyn Bouchard
i started listening to the Magnus protocol. Yesterday, I went to the park and stared at the sky. The vast…
Mag 20 spoilers below
Oh my fucking god they said the fucking thing "you made contact with some sort of… power?"
Gwen what the fuck? we can't have two characters going off the same shit like this
First thoughts on new magnus Protocol episode
Magnus Protocol episode 21 spoilers below:
First off:
We're so back!!!!!!!!!!
Second off, what the actual FUCK?
So Celia implying she had the ability to go back, but Jack doesn't, does that mean Jack is native here?
And then the whole magnus institute being treated closer to a cult in this universe, it's less of just some poor saps stuck there with one guy being a devoted follower of the Eye, now it's like they're all actual followers of the Eye, even bringing up schisms (like sects of a religion) on how they think the belief behind Y2K will affect their ritual.
And of course there's the whole some guy's doppelganger crawling from the earth and pulling him in, so that's 2 doppelganger we've seen, (1. Dude and his half brother, now 2. This guy), I'm thinking that the archives universe is bleeding over, if Celia switched, and with multiple doppelganger appearing more frequently I'm starting to think that there may be some growing overlap
Then there's Alice with the whole acknowledging someone in the computers, and treating then with sentience asking about them purposefully giving magnus statements.
And now for the titchular-bitchular Gwen (and Ink5oul), so Gwen doesn't do too bad for a horror protagonist, she wasted no time getting the hell out of dodge and even found help, however, from what it sounded like Ink5oul began controlling the guys barbed wire tattoos and making them real, meaning Ink5oul's tattoo powers aren't just over their own tattoos, but seem to be over any tattoo, and Gwen drops her phone (like that guy dropped his arm)
And for the biggest moment, we here a tape recorder click, and then ad Ink5oul grabs Gwen and trys to get to work, Gwen gets compeled, and begins giving a statement of her own (I for a split second thought it was Julia's from MA:9) and even Ink5oul is freaked out at it, and then some figure (surrounded by whispers like a wind(which could be like Jon's cassettes like we hear in the Web's lair)) appears and says "Mine" "All of them, mine" (who is all, the OIAR?) But doesn't do anything to Gwen at the moment and instead talks about others "There is more." "No. Not here. Elsewhere..." and just leaves, leaving the tape recorder behind where it fucking bites Ink5oul before clicking off.
So the transcript calls this thing "[ERROR]" which is what the thing that appeared at the end of Sam and Alice's outing to the archives was called. This thing is acting like some ghost of the archive, like not the archivist of the past kind, but like if Jon fully lost humanity, but Jon is in the computer, I'm thinking this could kinda literally a ghost of the archive, when the protocol was enacted and the archive burnt down this could be what someone became to survive, or maybe this worlds version of Jonah and he became this monster because of how the powers work here (maybe something about his fear of death and his allegiance to the Eye) or this could be the result of the "universal transmutation" or the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
The tree of knowledge is something I doubt the institute would let burn, so them keeping it for themselves makes sense, and them using it to try and gain higher knowledge would track, and maybe they and the fruit are responsible for that one guy turning into plants (MP:3).
Hopefully next episode answers something, and of course makes me freeze and go "😐" or go "they said the thing!"
Gwen walks back into the office on Monday with the word LOSER tattooed on her forehead

oh miss bouchard we're really in it now
O.I.A.R stuff after couple of episodes

Stuck in a car on a trip and can't really listen to protocol so instead I made some quick protocol design doodles for the main characters

Think of Gwen Bouchard and how when the Magnus institue burnt down, Jonah had taken Elias already. I don’t quite know how they are related (brother, cousin, dad maybe??) but imagine your family member who is usually high as a kite and is the most ridiculous man you’ve ever met suddenly changes into this strange man who knows to much and has wrong eyes. I imagine her wondering what happened but not being able to know because I’m guessing he’s dead in this universe?? But also, what’s up with the institute in this universe?? It seems to have taken kids like Gerry and maybe Sam?? This universe is confusing and I can’t wait for more !!
OK TAKING A QUICK MOMENT FROM LISTENING TO THE NEW EPISODE

WOH WOHWOH why isn't Gwen's name capitalised????? Names are ALWAYS capitalised
I haven't finished the episode yet but uhhhhh??? Fuck??
Idk if Gwen has a heart of gold but I love these two anyways
I love you “unlikeable” female characters I love you rude girls I love you mean women I love you girl interpretations of the “Asshole with a Heart of Gold” trope I love you women who get labeled Cold and Unfeeling I love you girls who lash out I love you women who lie I love you female characters who make people mad just by existing
Short summary of the Epiloge. Sam is alive (for now) but eye-knows-where. Gwen needs a manual. Colin probably will be reading cases in the next season… Alice, it’s definitely not your day…
My friend imagines Lena as one of those villains you just never see the face of, like any time she’s on camera her face is obscured by shadow or out of frame, and idk I just like that. It fits her whole ominous boss gig. Might steal it. His description for Gwen made her sound like Barbie in a suit tho lol and that’s great.

Sam totally got his leg amputated just so Freddy could try human flesh. It’s not like it was amputated way before he even started working at the oiar. Anyway Freddy needed to prove a point and now that point is proved.
Thank you @windows-nt-4-point-0 for the request :>
i’d be frustrated too if i had to deal with All Of That tbh
Gwen is a good character but god she must be annoying to work with and manage
ok fine enough straight marriage jokes. you get one (1) serious mach post about gwen and lena. as a treat.
imagine how frustrating all of this is from lena's perspective. she's watching someone else go through what she went through, and she's trying to be the person she never had, telling her that she can stop, that she can quit- but no. gwen wants more. gwen doesn't want to quit. and gwen blames lena for what she's going through. despite having asked for it, and refusing to quit herself.
you guys know how insane i am about lena kelley. she's traumatized. she's desensitized. she's logical and pragmatic in a distinctly insane and tragic way.
but just. imagine how fucking frustrated she is, also.
to me, ink5oul seems like the type of person to be a bit vindictive about this whole thing. due to that and maybe a little bit of an obsession with @sodapops-station’s Signed5oul/Gwen5oul fic, I think Ink5oul tattooed their signature. Gwen asked for it, after all

Gwen5oul

Dyhard-tectives!!
Ep 23 changed my brain chemistry
something something, Gwen’s *special* task list for Alice
someone could do something with that. not me, but someone.
I don’t know why it was this episode that did it but I’m fully on the Dyhard train rn they have so much tension I’m feeding on it
