TMA Season 5 Predictions (3/19/2020)
Mar. 19th, 2020 10:16 pmThanks to my partner Felix for talking through these ideas with me and coming up with a bunch of them <3
Action will be split between Jon reading/listening to old statements from the lunchbox Basira sent, and finding from people what's actually happening during the apocalypse.
Jon gets some control over the tape recorders.... learns to use them to his advantage :O
My wishful thinking plot arc is not something I am not convinced will happen (and I'm also not the only one to suggest a spooky road trip), but it would seem to me that, by TMA logic, if Jon had to embody all 14 fears to open the door, then maybe 14 representatives, one from each fear, will be needed to reject the apocalypse and send the entities back from whence they came.
The team includes: Martin (Lonely), Basira (Eye), Daisy (Hunt), Melanie (Slaughter), Georgie (End)could also be oliver idk I like georgie, Helen (Spiral), Jared (Flesh), Jude (Desolation), Annabelle (Web), Simon (Vast), The Coffin (Buried), and idk someone new probably for (Stranger)(Corruption)(Dark)
Additionally, I have SPECIFIC STATEMENTS I predict we'll see, some of these are jokes and some are not but I won't tell you which ones (the best are at the end please read all the way):
Tom Han's statement (backfile, I think he's dead). Has a lot of the Meat Theory Jared's not interested in. Maybe from pretty early on in the process of avatarizing.
We get a sexy modern day buried avatar. Or the coffin gives a statement. Give us that good buried content Jonny.
Something about the inherent spookiness of playgrounds. Not with harm coming to actual kids but like, the statement giver remembering weird experiences. You can find presences of all the avatars on a playground.
Stoner Elias statement (PLEASE. It would not be boring.)
Statement from Rosie (ALSO PLEASE. I know Jonny was noncommittal about both of these, but perhaps he has changed his mind).
What Is Jared Hopworth Up To In The Apocalypse (once again, even if it's not for Overarching Plot reasons, he's got Jon's rib and they can find each other)
Similarly, we get to hear about Helen's WEIRD EXPERIENCES.
We get a statement from Emma, Gertrude's assistant who was briefly mentioned in 154.
Naked. Slimy. Elias. (RQG bloopers confirmed this one but I am HYPE for the gelatinous cube)
Anyway I am VERY hype and VERY scared and this is gonna be great.

Annabelle was totally making sure this could come together, but also that there'd be a kill switch-- if Jonah was gonna do his thing, it would have to be on her terms.
Jared was doing fine for himself! He was looking into another small business, and he doesn't care about the theory he just likes bones. Plus, he can find them easily, cause he's got Jon's rib, and meat attracts meat.
Jude is really hard to convince but there is one way... (see below)
The Coffin may or may not be their secret entrance into the archives askldjaslkdj. Alternately, there could be a sexy new buried avataror Hezzy could come back but since Jonny hasn't given me one yet, I'm forced to imprint on the coffin.
If they can convince Simon to do it for the lolz, he's in
Helen's in this really interesting place where she is and is not the Spiral.... which is newly painful because the Spiral is now EVERYWHERE. A hand who's aware of being a hand and also the body is at a sick party and she's stuck in a pocket.

Look I like ensembles and teamwork okay. Obviously it's also gonna be TRAGIC but like. Idk. That's the plan anyways.

A third Web In Hollywood statement because I feel like we need another one.
An episode that is basically Jon and Elias having a staring contest. The middle of Jonny's episode script has a section that is just "[JON and JONAH stare at each other for 15 minutes. The world warps around them.]" Alex is thrilled.
We get a statement from AGNES about her DOUBTS-- something that she wrote AT Gertrude while they were linked, even if they never met each other. Talks about the bleed between the Desolation and the Eye-- Agnes started questioning and Gertrude got better at setting things ablaze-- and most importantly gives her a voice by which to address all the perceptions we've seen of her from other people!!! She gets a voice!!!! (If we are trying to convince Jude of doing things, this is what makes that happen)
Also! We need a statement from GERTRUDE. Maybe not about the Agnes stuff, but DEFINITELY at some point early into her process of becoming the Archivist. We've heard from her so much, but we have not! heard! her give a statement herself! about! her own! experiences!
AND WE GET A TAPE FROM SASHA, THE ORIGINAL SASHA, ABOUT HER TIME IN ARTIFACTS STORAGE, AND LET HER GET THE LAST WORD FOR HERSELF, AND MAKE EVERYBODY HAVE FEELINGS.
