Gwen Bouchard - Blog Posts

okay does anyone already know when season 2 will premiere? cause like

Lena had a great mic drop and will hopefully gtfo and NOT be hunted for sport

Colin and Teddy are both definitely on some bullshit and may or may not die offscreen in the meantime

Sam and the Archivist are very much giving status: unknown

Gwen will surely get what she bargained for one way or another

only Celia and Alice seem safe for now (although it'll be fun times for Celia to explain to Alice what exactly happened)

i need it like next week please

how horrible I'm not at all excited

gwen somehow summon it for help right? like it sounded like she invoked the power

she might not have all the infos she wants but she knows something alright

just your typical rich family secret

gwen has a patreon!?!? family's business or what

'that lady could've killed your coworkers!' - 'well you never explicitly told me to not endanger my coworkers so whats the problem?'

at least gwen has her priorities sorted

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 !!

why does my Alice in wonderland cosplay look like Gwendolyn Bouchard?

OK! So this weeks episode was crazy! First of all we all already know that the computers are communicating with the OIAR staff but this episode basically confirms it and add to the fact that Alice is aware of it and is deliberately trying to make sure that Sam doesn’t hear any of the Magnus institute related statements is really suspicious, like what are you trying to hide Alice? But also did anyone notice that what they were describing in this episode sounds similar to what happened during the eye-pocalypse in the Magnus Archives. There are so many things in this episodes statement that relate to season five of TMA it’s crazy! Like the dome reminds me of the panopticon and how it’s going to be their base of operation for the experiment. And how the “balance of energies involved will be profoundly skewed towards the fearful and despairing” like what! It’s the eye- pocalypse all over again.

And the fact that [ERROR] saved Gwen from Ink5oul? Who is this person??

Also the tape recorders can bite people!? They are now sentient creatures?! This episode was wack!

TMAGP 8 NOTES

SPOILERS BELOW

SERIOUSLY THESE ARE HOT FRESH SPOILERS

Statement:

Felt like a classic MAG episode. Reminiscent of the lonely, but felt more like a hunger for company that was reflected and warped.

Also, liminal spaces. Lots of em.

The thin people are reminiscent of MAG 156 Reflection.

Characters!

ALSO WHAT THE FUCK "GIGI???"

GIGI AND GERRY

Bruh

I'm delighted

I'm horrified

I'm so scared

"my grandson?"

Looks like he dodged the brain cancer bullet this time. Gigi dodged the... literal bullet.

Maybe Gertrude gets a cackle this time?

Also, if Gerry doesn't remember anything, maybe they brain wiped him and that's why he's like that. Or, the change of personality is irrelevant.

Sam

Investigating the Magnus Institute still, and confirming that he participated in their "gifted kids programs."

Celia

Celia??? Weird physics???? Time travel?? Oh my holy fuck

Georgie's podcast too. Could it be crossing the gap btwn worlds?

Alice & Gwen

Obvious tension on the job change. Alice seems like she wants to leave, but also like she's morose over Sam leaving with Celia. I really feel like she's hyper jealous, hope she doesn't get chopped up or something for leaving. Bc who's heard from Teddy?

Note: Colin's on mental health leave. Doesn't sound like he hurt Sam? Just the phone.

TMAGP 7 SPOILERS

FUCK YEAH FUCK YEAH FUCK YEAH

Celia:

- wants to search by "meat"/etc.

- recognizes Chester's voice

Colin:

- says there's "real stuff" outside the emails/etc.

- violently refuses to allow external electronics onsite

- discusses a weird email from "John"/"Jon" with Sam

Gwen:

- shows the Klaus video to Lena

- believes someone paid Lena to attempt his murder

- confirms with Lena that there's "real work"

- becomes the "externals liaison"

Statement:

- HILL TOP, HILL TOP, HILL TOP

Theory:

This feels like almost complete confirmation for all of the following:

1. Hill Top Road allowed MAG's powers in (does not confirm if they remained in their old forms i.e. Smirke's 14),

2. Celia is "that" Celia,

3. "Chester" has the voice of Jonathan Sims, not just the man but the character, and the same for "Norris" having the voice of Martin,

4. "Augustus" also has the voice of a significant character,

5. The "Response" part of OIAR will become more important.

I know these are basic conclusions, but I'm just laying it out to process. I think with the computer voices' sources confirmed, that removes a lot of uncertainty regarding how much TMAGP will engage with MAG's immediate consequences and characters.

I hope it leads to "grumpy computer archivist archly assists with casework" but you never know.
